On the stairs facing Tang Ze and others on the overpass, various items that had fallen out of Keiko Teraizumi's bag were scattered around.
Hats, sunglasses, handbags and all kinds of cosmetics, and at this moment the overpass is illuminated by bright sunshine.
It was because of seeing such a scene that Tang Ze realized that this case was not an accident, but a murder case!
"What on earth is it?"
Shihuayuan frowned as he looked at the scattered items on the stairs. "What's your evidence that Miss Teraizumi was murdered? What's wrong with these items?"
"It's not those things, it's the overpass itself."
Tang Ze pointed to the parasol tied up next to Teraizumi Keiko, then pointed to the rooftop and said, "Look, the umbrella in Ms. Teraizumi's hand is closed, but there is no place on the rooftop to hide from the sun, right?"
"Is it a coincidence? What if the deceased just wanted to close the umbrella for something?"
Gao Mu thought this statement was a bit unreliable and said: "For example, I want to take out a certain cosmetic in my bag, but because it is troublesome to open the umbrella, I close it first..."
"Not likely."
Tang Ze pointed at the arm of Teraizumi Keiko's body and said, "Detective Takagi, you might not know this, but yesterday, Miss Teraizumi was also wearing a sun sleeve on her arm, and there were also sunglasses and a hat that fell over there..."
That means Teraizumi Keiko is afraid of sunlight."
"And the sweet smell on the person yesterday is the same as this one today. This is actually a very popular sunscreen this year."
Shikain echoed, "So this is strange, isn't it? Someone as sun-conscious as Ms. Teraizumi would actually close her parasol in a sunny spot like the overpass, with almost no shade."
Gao Mu's expression grew increasingly serious upon hearing this. "So...he was the one who killed him?!"
"Ah, I'm afraid this isn't the crime scene." Tang Ze nodded and said, "Ms. Teraizumi was probably staying somewhere else with some shade until she was murdered.
Only then will Ms. Teraizumi, who has always paid attention to sun protection, close her parasol."
"The perpetrator attacked Miss Teraizumi, killed her, and then carried her to the overpass. He then scattered her belongings on the stairs, creating the illusion that she had accidentally fallen from the overpass and died."
Shihuayuan looked at Teraizumi Keiko's body, turned to look at Tang Ze and said, "Please let me participate in this search!
I must personally bring the criminal to justice! ”
"No."
Facing Sihuayuan's request, Tang Ze chose to refuse, "You are no longer a member of the Investigation Section. The Publicity Section does not have the power to search. I cannot agree to your request."
"Didn't you say before that we'd solve this case together after I finished the publicity?" Si Huayuan said anxiously after hearing this, "Why are you changing your mind now?"
"Because that was the case you were in charge of before, and the investigation my partner and I did was just a spontaneous investigation into an old case."
Tang Ze looked at Sihuayuan calmly and said, "But things are different now. This is the job of our Investigation Division 1. It's against regulations for you to get involved rashly."
"Can..."
Sihuayuan wanted to say something more after hearing this, but Tang Ze interrupted her with his hand, "Even if you are related to the current deceased, you do not have the right to search this case.
The best we can do is cooperate with our investigation as a relevant person."
“.........”
Upon hearing this, Sihuayuan was silent for a moment, knowing that what Tang Ze said was correct and was also for her own good.
After all, she is a member of the Propaganda Department and does not have the right to search. If she insists on getting involved in the search, she will be the one in trouble, even if she has a connection with the deceased in a previous case.
In fact, it is precisely for this reason that she has to avoid suspicion.
"Then as a relevant person, I will cooperate with your investigation."
Sihuayuan looked at Tang Ze and said, "I am only here as a relevant person to answer your questions at any time. I will not take any other actions!"
"Then do it, but only at today's crime scene."
Seeing that Sihuayuan understood what he meant and made this compromise request, Tang Ze also chose to take a step back and agree to the other party's request.
Afterwards, Tang Ze put on white gloves and began to examine the scene and the traces of the corpse's expression more carefully.
The items scattered on the ladder were made by the criminals in disguise. Tang Ze was not surprised that there were no clues. However, he found a strange mark on the body of the deceased.
shoe.
The deceased passed on a pair of high-heeled shoes, but these shoes were too clean, without any dust or sand on the soles.
"Is there any secluded place nearby suitable for a meeting?" Tang Ze called over a detective from the local police station and asked, "Like a park or something like that."
"There's no park, but there is a forest, because this is almost the border of the suburbs." The young detective from the local police station pointed to the right.
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Tang Ze didn't give any explanation. He just stood up and walked in the direction the other party pointed. The people around who didn't know what was going on were a little confused by Tang Ze's actions.
However, Shihuayuan and Takagi were the first to react. Although they didn't know the reason, they still quickly followed because of their understanding of Tang Ze.
"Tang Zejun, are you sure the crime scene is here?"
While following Tang Ze on the road, the two also heard Tang Ze's explanation and knew the reason why Tang Ze came here, but as they walked deeper into the forest, Gao Mu looked around and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
"Well, if nothing goes wrong, it should be here." Tang Ze replied while checking the situation around him.
"Although the rigor mortis and livor mortis of Teraizumi Keiko's body suggest the murder scene should be nearby..." Takagi scratched his head and said, "But based on this alone, we can conclude that it was in the forest..."
"Takagi-kun has a point..."
Sihuayuan frowned as he watched the forest deepen into the distance. "Isn't it possible that the perpetrator killed the victim, then drove him to the overpass to fake an accident?"
"Then why did you choose to move the body here?" Tang Ze asked, "If you can transport the body by car, wouldn't it be safer to move it to the Aokigahara Sea of Trees?
After a long time, even if skeletons are found, people will think they are people who committed suicide.
Even if this type of overpass is located in a remote area with little traffic, it is still very dangerous."
It was based on this situation, combined with the deceased's very clean shoes, that Tang Ze guessed that the other party was here.
Because the shoes are clean, it means that they have been wiped by the criminal, which means that the shoes are stained with dirt that can locate the location, such as mud and other substances that are different from the road!
