Chapter 1747 The Dead Chess Player



"Well, have a nice trip."

Hearing He Ye's refusal, Xiaolan did not force it. She smiled and waved goodbye to the two of them.

"Yeah." Hattori Heiji waved his hand and looked at Tang Ze: "There's a subway nearby, so I won't bother you to take me there. Thank you for the treat!"

"Yeah." Tang Ze nodded and said goodbye to the other party with a smile: "See you later."

"We don't need to send it off. We ate too much tonight. Conan and I agreed to take a walk back later."

After saying goodbye to Hattori Heiji, Xiaolan, who was standing beside him, also held Conan's hand and said goodbye to the three of them.

Looking at Conan who was holding hands with Xiaolan like a child, Tang Ze gave him a teasing look, which made Conan roll his eyes.

Obviously, from the current perspective, the two of them were just taking a walk on a date.

Now only Sonoko was left, so the two of them simply sent Sonoko home and then stayed at Suzuki's house for one night, saving the journey home.

Because he had just solved a case, Tang Ze didn't even go to work the next day.

After all, there always needs to be some buffer time after a case occurs. There should be no major problems within at least 2 to 3 days.

However, just when Tang Ze relaxed and planned to skip work for the next few days, he received a call from Nanatsuki Koshimizu.

Tang Ze was depressed after being slapped in the face, but he quickly packed his clothes and rushed to the crime scene.

After arriving at the place, Asanari Minoru had already started the autopsy, while Takagi, Nanatsuki Koshimizu and others were standing together talking about something.

Seeing Tang Ze coming over, Koshimizu Nanatsuki on the side spread his hands and said, "Sorry, senior, it looks like you've made a wasted trip. There's no room for us to appear."

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

After hearing what Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, Tang Ze asked.

"It has been confirmed that the deceased committed suicide by hanging."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu said, "I just checked around and didn't find anything suspicious.

In addition, a suicide note was also found. After comparing it with other handwritings in the room, it was basically confirmed that it was written by the same person.

In addition, the body was sealed and confined, with no signs of being pried open, and the deceased hanging from the neck had no "Yoshikawa lines," so it can be basically confirmed that it was suicide.

"Um..."

After hearing what Nanatsuki said, Tang Ze nodded without comment, "I'll go take a look around first."

Although he believed that with Nanatsuki Koshimizu's level, she would have no problem judging whether a case was suicide or homicide, he was inclined to agree with her judgment.

But other people's judgments are ultimately theirs, and Tang Ze still believes more in the results obtained after his own investigation.

With Tang Ze's current insight, it is a very simple thing for him to check the entire crime scene to see if there is anything unusual.

After walking around the entire crime scene, that is, the deceased's room, Tang Ze nodded and said, "I really didn't find any intrusion by outsiders, or anything worth noting."

"It seems that we don't have to go through all this trouble this time." Nanatsuki Koshimizu said after hearing Karasawa's conclusion.

"But even if it was suicide, we still need to find out the cause of death."

Just in case, Tang Ze looked at Gao Mu and asked, "Does the book mention why he committed suicide?"

"I just said I couldn't see a way forward, and the pressure was too much to bear, so I chose to be free."

Gao Mu said: "We just found out the identity of the suicide.

The deceased was named Kinji Ueo, a professional shogi player. He had been performing well recently and had even been successfully promoted some time ago.

Judging from the contents of his suicide note, he seemed to feel that although he kept winning, he had reached his limit and there was no way to continue to improve.

Unable to accept this reality, he chose to end his life.”

"Shogi..."

Hearing Takagi's words, Tang Ze frowned slightly and murmured imperceptibly.

"Okay, let's pack up."

Although Tang Ze had already taken the matter to heart, he remained calm on the surface and looked at everyone and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Gao Mu and others smiled and waved their hands, then turned around and asked everyone to clean up the crime scene and retreat in an orderly manner.

"Speaking of which, Senior, it's time for you to come to work."

After leaving the deceased's apartment, Nanatsuki Koshimizu looked at Tang Ze unhappily and said, "I have something to do tomorrow, so remember to go to work honestly.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have helped you look after the office.”

"I see, I see." Tang Ze smiled and said, "I'll grant you leave."

"Even if you don't grant me leave, I'm going to leave anyway." Koshimizu Nanatsuki rolled her eyes and said, "I've already applied for annual leave and plan to stay home for a week."

"Then I'll give you a few more days after your annual leave." Tang Ze waved his hand and said, "Just come back to work on the Monday after next."

"real!?"

Upon hearing this, Nanatsuki's eyes lit up and she said, "Don't regret it!"

Today is Tuesday. If she really goes back to work on the Monday after next, it means that Tang Ze has approved another 6 days of leave for her.

It's almost like a double vacation, no wonder Nanatsuki Koshimizu is so happy.

"Of course it's true." Tang Ze waved his hand: "Let's go, it's a rare trip home, so we should stay a few more days."

"Thank you very much, senior." Upon hearing this, Nanatsuki Koshimizu said goodbye to Tang Ze happily, and couldn't wait to go back to pack up and prepare to return to her hometown.

After Tang Ze got into the car alone, he did not start the car in a hurry. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the [Detective] app, asking him to collect information about the deceased and the people who participated in the batch promotion competition.

After watching the messages scroll by on his phone, Tang Ze fastened his seat belt, started the car and returned home.
