"I'm so sorry, senpai!!"
After seeing the two, Naoki Kamii bowed ninety degrees and said, "I'm sorry to bother you two!"
"It's okay, and it's not your fault, Kamii-kun." Takagi smiled and helped the other person up: "Don't mind it."
"That's right. If you hadn't discovered the clue, this case would have been buried." Tang Ze patted the other person's shoulder and said with a smile: "From this point of view, you have made a contribution."
This time Conan didn't take the blame. Tang Ze felt that the blame fell on his head after all, so why should he blame a cute newbie who was implicated.
"What merits... It's really embarrassing to trouble Senior Tang Ze before we even meet..." Naoki Kamii apologized.
"If you mind, then let's solve the case together." Tang Ze smiled and said, "That should be fine."
"Senior said this is a case?" Naoki Kamii was surprised when he heard it.
"After listening to what you said on the phone, it's pretty close."
Tang Ze could not deny it, "But we still need to verify the details in person. Besides, the whereabouts of the missing Miss Xunzi are still unknown, and she is also our main target at the moment."
"Miss Kaoru..." Naoki Kamii looked worried when he heard this: "She should be okay..."
In response, Tang Ze could only silently pat his shoulder, but he didn't even dare to say a word of comfort.
Although there is no news about the other party yet, and we don't know whether he is imprisoned or killed, but according to his usual style, it is likely that he is in great danger...
"I don't know what connection that Miss Kaoru has with this village. She actually disappeared here."
Gao Mu, who was standing by, stroked his chin and pondered, "If we knew this, perhaps we could find the reason for her disappearance."
"Is it related?" Hearing Takagi's words, Kamii Naoki frowned and thought carefully, recalling what happened last night.
"Oh, right!" Naoki Kamii suddenly shouted, "I remember when we were drinking, Miss Kaoru asked me if I had a gun, saying she was curious and wanted to see it.
But as a newbie, I wouldn't carry something like that, so I told her the truth. Now that I think about it, it seems like something is amiss."
Although such a request to satisfy curiosity was not excessive, it seemed a little unusual when the other party disappeared the next day.
Considering that the other party took the initiative to ask to take Naoki's car back to Tokyo, did she already know that she might be in danger?
Is that why, after meeting Naoki Kamii and knowing his profession, he quickly established a good relationship with him in the hope that his identity could bring him protection?
It seems that Miss Kaoru is not completely innocent...
However, Tang Ze did not say this out loud, so as not to give the newbie a bigger blow.
"Senior, where are we going now?" Naoki Kamii, who was standing by, seemed to see Tang Ze come back to his senses from his thoughts, and hurriedly asked about the next move.
"Let's go to the herbarium and check the registration book first." Tang Ze said, "Since you met there, maybe he didn't just go there for fun."
"Are you saying that she went to the specimen museum for other purposes?" Takagi asked hurriedly.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's just a coincidence." Tang Ze just subconsciously complicated the other party's actions and gave meaning to every step of the other party.
The advantage of this is that the observation is comprehensive enough, and the other party's purpose can be screened out step by step from these various possibilities with investigation and evidence.
As for the disadvantages... it is that it is easy to think too much, which causes the mind to enter a big maze and cannot get out.
When they arrived at the specimen museum, the staff from yesterday were there. They were a little impatient when they saw Naoki Kamii, but their expressions changed immediately when Tang Ze and the other man showed their credentials.
Tang Ze carefully checked the registration book and found that there was only the name of Naoki Kamii, but not that of Kaoru.
However, after prying it open with force, Tang Ze still saw some traces of a torn page between the page with Naoki Kamii and the previous page.
Although the other party has torn it off very cleanly, anyone who has torn something knows that it is generally not possible to tear it off cleanly.
So after trying hard, Tang Ze still saw a little bit of residue.
When the man saw Tang Ze's actions, his expression became even uglier.
However, Tang Ze did not say anything, nor did he ask the other party anything. He just asked the two to leave.
"Detective Karasawa..."
Naoki Kamii naturally noticed that detail, but when he saw that Tang Ze had no intention of pointing it out, he still calmly cooperated with Tang Ze, and only couldn't help but ask when they got outside.
"It's just a small flaw. There's no point in asking." Tang Ze shook his head and said, "The key is to have conclusive evidence."
"So where are we going now?" asked Naoki Kamii.
"Let's go to Miss Kaoru's room first." Tang Ze and his group swiped their cards again and came to the "Kameyama" of the hotel. The cleanliness there left Kamii and Takagi helpless.
However, this is not the case for Tang Ze.
The super sense of smell was fully activated in an instant, and the smell began to expose everything that was real to Tang Ze.
The neat sheets seemed spotless, but they still had the scent of rose perfume.
Even the clothes rack was stained with the scent of perfume.
Although ordinary people cannot smell it, the smell is extremely obvious to Tang Ze.
There was indeed a woman who lived in this room, and it was just these two days!
"So Miss Kaoru does exist, but the villagers are trying to cover up her whereabouts with a unified voice!" Naoki Kamii was horrified when he heard this: "Why would they do this?"
"You already have the answer in your heart."
Tang Ze's words left the two of them silent for a moment. He looked at Uei Naoki and said, "Have you looked around the area? Are there any suitable places to sink a body? Contact the branch office here to check it out."
"What about the two of us?" Takagi couldn't help but ask after hearing Tang Ze's division of labor.
"Let's go to the clinic here first." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Then we'll just wait for the results."
"Just ask for information." As Tang Ze's old partner, Takagi saw through Tang Ze's thoughts at a glance: "Who do you want to know?"
"There are probably not many people who have such great prestige in this village that the villagers are willing to cover up his crimes." Tang Ze said meaningfully.
In fact, Tang Ze had a very clear understanding of this case from the beginning.
All the difficulties seemed to disappear in front of him. He just followed the logic and the truth automatically appeared before his eyes.
As his abilities continue to improve, he has now begun to embark on his own path in reasoning.
This also means that some of the difficult cases in the past are no longer difficult in his eyes.
For example, the case in front of us may have required some trouble in the past, but now it is just a simple case with the answer readily available.
