"I'm 80% sure!" Tang Ze immediately replied after hearing what Matsumoto Kiyonaga said.
"Megure, contact the Hokkaido Police Department immediately and ask them to search the construction site!" Matsumoto Kiyonaga gave the order immediately after hearing what Karasawa said without even asking why.
The trust in Tang Ze here does not need to be expressed in words. Even though giving this order requires taking on tremendous pressure and responsibility, Matsumoto Kiyonaga still does not hesitate.
All the detectives, including Megure, had no doubts about Matsumoto Kiyonaga's order, because that was the reasoning made by Karasawa.
And so many previous cases have proved that Tang Ze’s reasoning was correct!
After everything was arranged, Matsumoto Kiyonaga and other detectives gathered around and looked at Tang Ze. The meaning of their gazes was self-evident.
"Brother Tang Ze, I've already finished the call. Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me your reasoning." Inspector Megure said.

"Remember what you said about the other person writing "DATE" in English every day?"
Tang Ze explained: "Later I found out that this not only refers to a date, but also means "Ida" when pronounced in Romanization.
I think that was the day Detective Ida went to spend the night at her place."
"So that's how it is." Sato Miwako suddenly realized: "Because she is an English teacher, I subconsciously thought that "DATE" means a date."
"And you also said that there was a date marked on the calendar on the day the other person committed suicide, right?"
Tang Ze sighed and said, "Perhaps the two of them had agreed to go somewhere that day, but she didn't know that Detective Ida had died in a car accident.
She waited so long that she finally thought she was abandoned by Ida and chose to commit suicide.
