"Sweating?"
Hearing the female thief's words, the middle-aged criminal frowned at her and said, "Don't be ridiculous, Momota! How can you sweat in such a cold weather?!"
"Really, uncle!!"
Momota looked at the middle-aged criminal and said, "Uncle, you have watched me grow up since high school. Although I am indeed a thief, I would never dare to do something like harming others!
He was really sweaty, and I thought he was just drunk after a night out at a nightclub.
"Alive in the morning?"
Hearing the words of the female thief, Gao Mu and Sato Miwako looked at each other and couldn't help but look at each other in confusion: "How is this possible..."
"She doesn't look like she just froze to death..." Sato Miwako said puzzledly, "but she certainly doesn't seem to be lying..."
After all, even his criminal itinerary yesterday had been revealed. He only needed to go to the victim's home and ask about it. There was no need to lie about such a suspicious phenomenon.
"She really wasn't lying." Tang Ze smiled and said, "It's just that her description was inaccurate."
"The description is inaccurate?" Gao Mu immediately looked at Tang Ze and said, "Do you know why the deceased was sweating?"
"Have you ever eaten ice cream indoors in winter?" Tang Ze smiled and said, "It's the same principle."
"Ah! I see!" Sato Miwako suddenly realized, "The reason the corpse is sweating is because the environment it was in was colder than the temperature outside!"
"Temperatures colder than a cold wave...the only place that can be found is a freezer!"
Gao Mu finally realized what was happening and said solemnly, "If he died from being frozen to death in a rapid freezing environment... then that's a murder case?"
"Yes, the reason why the deceased was 'sweating' on the surface was because he was moved from a lower temperature."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "No matter how cold the cold wave is, it won't be as cold as artificially created rapid freezing, so the temperature will naturally rise a little.
Afterwards, the frozen body began to thaw, and the "sweating" phenomenon that Momota saw occurred because of the temperature difference.
By the time the child discovered the body, the "sweat" had already frozen again due to the sub-zero temperature.
If the heart had not been found frozen during the autopsy, I am afraid that once the heart thawed it would have been attributed to an accidental freezing death, just like those homeless people."
The criminal's method was very clever. If it weren't for the fact that the heart was frozen, which was unreasonable, this would probably be a perfect crime.
Since this case has been found to be a possible murder case, it is natural to continue investigating.
While letting Takagi, who was dressed lightly, wait at the Metropolitan Police Department to investigate other directions, Karasawa took Sato Miwako to the funeral ceremony of the deceased.
Mrs. Shimoda was a very young woman in her thirties. She looked a little haggard at the moment because of her husband's death, but she still forced herself to cheer up and receive Tang Ze and the other man.
"I'm sorry to visit you at this time. Please accept my condolences." Tang Ze bowed slightly to Mrs. Shimoda. "Do you know who Mr. Shimoda was with yesterday?"
"I'm not sure..." Mrs. Shimoda wiped her tears: "That person has been busy with work, and he is not the kind of person who will tell me everything..."
"Then I wonder if you know any stores your husband often goes to?" Sato Miwako asked softly.
"Well... there should be several of them." Mrs. Shimoda thought for a moment and said.
"Do you know any contact information or address?" Sato Miwako asked again.
"There should be a business card in my husband's room. There are also a few other places I know, and I will write them down one by one..." Mrs. Shimoda bowed slightly, said "Excuse me", and then walked into the house.
"Boss lady."
Just then, a young man in a black suit came over and reported, "Your husband's company is here."
Mrs. Shimoda nodded and apologized to the two of them, then walked towards the door. Karasawa and Sato turned their heads and saw a beautiful woman dressed smartly and several employees greeting Mrs. Shimoda.
In this situation, Karasawa and Sato Miwako could only wait patiently.
There are several pots of white flowers outside the house, with wooden signs on them that read "Family together" and "Neighborhood together". From time to time, more people bring flowers here.
Among them, a wooden sign with the words "Tsutori Branch Together" on it caught Tang Ze's attention.
After Mrs. Shimoda had finished entertaining the people from her husband's company, the two of them left the Shimoda family's house, expressing their gratitude with several business cards and addresses.
"So which store should we go to first?" Sato Miwako said, looking at the business card in her hand. "How about we call these stores first?"
"No, go to this one."
Tang Ze pointed to the address handwritten by Mrs. Shimoda and said, "I just saw the owner of this store send flowers as condolences. He must have a good relationship with Shimoda Tatsuo. Let's go over here and ask him first."
"That's fine." Sato Miwako nodded and said, "It's not too far away. I'll use this little time on the way to call the stores that have their contact information."
"Okay." Tang Ze nodded and agreed to the division of labor, then drove towards the izakaya "Tsutori".
In the end, Miwako Sato still gained nothing, and "Tsutori" where Karasawa went became the final destination.
However, luck was on Tang Ze's side. His judgment was correct. After asking the boss, he found out that Tatsuo Shimoda did drink here last night.
