"What if it's just for the insurance money?" Qianye guessed, "That's a possibility. Maybe the hostess is actually her in disguise.
She used excuses like casual dress games to convince her husband, created a fictitious suspicious person, got him drunk, and then killed him.
And the bar owner also said that the woman wasn't really professional, maybe she was just Mrs. Shimoda pretending to be a hostess!"
"It's not impossible, but if that's the case, it's easy to verify."
Miwako Sato said: "The couple's wedding rings are always matching rings, and the style is definitely the same. We just need to confirm the style of the ring on the deceased's hand."
"I remember the deceased's wedding ring was silver." Tang Ze recalled the deceased's appearance and said, "It seems that this hostess and Mrs. Shimoda are not the same person."
"So our first target now is that mysterious hostess?"
Gao Mu scratched his head and said, "This is a bit of a headache. Do we have to look for witnesses again? It feels like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"There are no other clues yet. Let's go to the deceased's company tomorrow to investigate."
Tang Ze touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "From the testimony we have investigated so far, it can be seen that Shimoda Tatsuo has always been conscious.
This corresponds to the information I saw in the autopsy report. Although the effects of alcohol vary depending on a person's physical constitution, the alcohol concentration in the deceased's blood is far from enough to cause someone to be drunk and unable to sober up on the streets.
Since it has been ruled out as an accident and confirmed to be homicide, then the person who killed him must have had a reason.
Our main goal tomorrow will be to find out why."
Then the four of them discussed tomorrow's investigation plan while eating.
Miwako Sato and Takagi continued to follow Mrs. Shimoda's lead, asking her whether Tatsuo Shimoda had any enemies or not, and at the same time trying to find out whether she knew about her husband's infidelity.
Tang Ze and Chiba went to the deceased's company to find out whether he had any enemies in the company. After all, Mrs. Shimoda had said before that her husband was not the kind of person who would tell her everything.
It’s just a pity that when the two of them came to visit, the person in charge of receiving them, Kyoko Hanazaki, responded with “watertight”.
In short, it's all polite words like "social etiquette".
"What should we do now?"
As Qianye closed the door of Hanazaki Kyoko's office, he said with a headache, "The other party's words are obviously just to evade us.
Although it’s understandable that we don’t want to be picked on by the company, we can’t just go back without any gains…”
"Well, don't worry. Let's come back after get off work at noon. We will get something then." Tang Ze said as he waved in one direction of the big office.
Chiba followed his movements and saw a few young women in the corner of the large office. They looked excited when they saw Tang Ze waving his hand. They immediately realized, "So that's how it is. It's great to have fans."
"So just wait a moment, until we get off work at noon." Tang Ze said as he and Chiba went downstairs and bought some desserts nearby, then waited quietly in the coffee shop downstairs of the other company.
As time passed and noon arrived, Tang Ze also saw the three young women who had greeted him before.
However, Tang Ze, who was in the coffee shop, did not follow them directly. Instead, he followed them to the corner of the street before stopping them and saying hello.
The three people's reactions to Tang Ze's sudden appearance were textbook standard. After Tang Ze handed the cake to them and helped sign it, they immediately agreed to Tang Ze's request.
"In fact, the company has already issued a gag order because Director Shimoda died in exactly the same way as Section Chief Kamitu did five years ago. Both died of freezing to death."
The short-haired girl looked like she had just graduated a few years ago. She looked around cautiously as she spoke, then whispered, "Everyone in our company is saying it's Section Chief Kamitu's ghost coming back for revenge."
"Section Chief Kamitu? Can you tell us in detail?"
At first, Tang Ze just wanted to ask the three of them to talk about Tatsuo Shimoda, at least to know his true style in the company and see if anyone held a grudge against him.
But he didn't expect that the other party would tell him such important information right away, which made Tang Ze feel pleasantly surprised.
Later, based on the conversations between the three fan girls, Tang Ze learned the details of this important information.
Five years ago, Ueto and Shimoda were colleagues at the same company, working in the same department. Both were running for the position of director, a situation that was a head-on confrontation.
The ability to load soil was even better at that time. Judging from the situation, it is very likely that the "up" stabilized the "down".
But at the most critical moment, something happened, and Shimoda successfully "overthrew his superiors" and became the minister.
Sexual harassment is a common scandal in the workplace.
At the most critical moment of the election, Shangtu was accused of sexual harassment and was forced to resign from his position as a strong contender for the ministerial position.
Afterwards, he became depressed, drunk and froze to death on the street.
However, legend has it that this scandal was actually orchestrated by Minister Shimoda, so after Shimoda also died of freezing, rumors began to spread in the company that Ueto had turned into a ghost to seek revenge.
And Kyoko Hanazaki was the one who accused Kamitu of sexual harassment.
"Thanks, that was a great help."
As Tang Ze spoke, he took out his business card and handed it to the three of them: "This is my contact information. If my visit causes any problems at work, you can contact me."
