After entering the interrogation room, Yamazaki knew that he had made a mistake, so he cooperated with the questions from Tangze and the others.
According to him, Otsuga Tomoyuki had no connection with him, they just happened to meet on the street.
At that time, Tomoyuki Otsuga was standing in front of a restaurant with his wallet, but after looking at the money inside, he left in embarrassment.
Yamazaki had a criminal record and could not apply for a license to operate a second-hand store. He needed someone who was particularly short of money and had no criminal history.
Then he caught up and started talking to Otsuga Tomoyuki.
Later, he learned that Otsuga Tomoyuki actually had relevant qualifications in public health. Such a guy with a very high credibility was very popular with them.
So he paid the other party a sum of money in exchange for applying for the qualification to operate a second-hand store, and promised to provide all the necessary food, clothing, housing and transportation during this period.
Tomoyuki Otsuga was a little hesitant at first, but eventually agreed.
After confirming this, Tang Ze immediately found Mitsui Matsu and asked him to help investigate what Otsuga Tomoyuki had done in his name.
After investigation, it was discovered that Otsuga Tomoyuki had even sold out his "name and credibility".
Such as marrying a foreigner, operating rights of a second-hand store, joint guarantor, small business company, contracts written when applying for financing from small and medium-sized enterprises, etc.
Step by step, he stepped into the abyss.
When Tang Ze inquired about the black market for the sale of "names", he knew how much information was circulating among this group of people. If someone sold his own "name", people who would come to buy the "name" would soon come one after another.
That's why he helped Saburo Sakurada find a job, because he knew that once the name of trafficking was opened, it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst.
However, although they knew the word "tragic" written in capital letters on Otsuga Tomoyuki's death, they still had no idea why he died.
But at this moment, Uncle Dengmi from the forensic class brought over a form.
"I later checked the victim's phone and found this."
Hearing that there was another clue, Tang Ze became excited and immediately looked at the printed calendar. At the bottom of the calendar, a different location was noted for each day.
"These are all restaurants and snack bars." Takagi asked in confusion after reading them all: "Why did Otsu-san record so many places to eat..."
But Tang Ze's gaze froze when he saw this, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Let's go, Takagi-san, let's go investigate these shops."
"Eh?!" Gao Mu couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the densely packed shops above, "Are these all?"
"Don't worry, if my reasoning is correct, these shops should all be within the same area and can be reached on foot." Tang Ze said this with a hint of a smile on his face. "The last piece of the puzzle is in hand!"
……..
He went to a restaurant that Otsuga Tomoyuki often visited, and after showing his photo, the other party quickly recognized Otsuga Tomoyuki.
According to the waiter, she had indeed seen the other person several times, but all of them were in the tasting room next door.
That's where their restaurant offers tastings of new products, mostly packaged bread and other foods for people to try. If you like any of them, you can buy some back. They all have a long shelf life.
Of course, we also give away some porridge and other things for free, and the effect is quite good. It can be regarded as a means of selling bread and snacks.
Afterwards, the two went to a nearby supermarket and found a place where they could taste kelp and herring roe for free.
Including the grilled steak tasting place in the supermarket, everyone without exception had an impression of Tomoyuki Otsuga.
"As I expected, restaurants and supermarkets around here offer all kinds of free food and tastings. This is a common note at the bottom of Otsuga Tomoyuki's mobile calendar."
After the two left the supermarket, Tang Ze sighed, "It seems our speculation was correct. The closer it gets to the present, the harder his life will be."
"That explains the lack of uniformity in Otsuga Tomoyuki's stomach," Officer Takagi sighed. "He's been running around so many places just to eat. I'm afraid he doesn't have time to look for a job."
"And in order to try the food, he has to make sure he's clean. Even if the bathroom in the internet cafe is cheap, it's still a waste for him to continue using it."
Tang Ze looked at the memo in his hand and seemed to see Otsuga Tomoyuki's daily rush: "At the same time, these free foods cannot be enjoyed frequently. The more times you patronize, the more likely the store clerk will remember your appearance.
That's why there is this memo of where to eat every day, but this means that Otsuga Tomoyuki has to go from one restaurant to another in order to get enough food.
All that walking made me hungry again, so I had to go to another restaurant to eat.”
It can be said that this is a vicious cycle. He can only survive every day just to avoid starving to death, and he has no energy to do anything else.
The two of them talked as they walked, and finally arrived at the store where, based on the date, they speculated that Otsuga Tomoyuki was the last one to visit.
A donut shop.
"How about trying it? It's freshly baked~"
We stopped in front of the donut shop, and the waitress outside immediately handed us a donut with a toothpick. "Please try it~"
After buying two donuts as dessert, the two started talking to the poster girl.
"Ah, I remember him."
When Takagi showed the photo of Otsuga Tomoyuki, the poster girl immediately said affirmatively.
"You remember it very clearly." Tang Ze looked at the other person and said with a smile: "Did something happen?"
"Actually, this is his third time." The poster girl looked at the two of them and said, "He's been here before to try the food. To be honest, people like him are really rare.
It's rare for a grown man to come over specifically to try desserts but not buy anything after eating them, right? "
At this point, the poster girl was a little angry and a little embarrassed. "Actually, he was here yesterday, but I was so angry that I said some unpleasant things."
"If you think it's good, please buy some to show your support."
The poster girl at that time held up a donut and said this to Tomoyuki Otsuga.
But even the poster girl didn't expect that the sarcasm hidden in it would cause such a big reaction from the other party. He actually snatched away all the donuts in the frame that the poster girl had put in.
"But even so, you can't take away all the samples." The poster girl said a little aggrievedly, "He obviously only ate and didn't buy anything. I was just talking to him. Stealing his things is too much."
After asking Otsuga Tomoyuki about the direction of his escape, the two began to move forward along the other's escape route.
Finally, the two stopped somewhere.
PS: Actually, I wrote this case just to supplement the side story of selling "name", so that everyone can understand some information in this regard.
