"Then why did you lie?" Naoki Kamii asked puzzledly, "Why did you say this person doesn't exist?"
"That's to keep her husband from coming to her."
The village chief said apologetically, “To be honest, my niece ran back here before, but that man asked strangers to come and inquire about my niece’s whereabouts, and then coaxed her back to Tokyo, and then she fell into the hands of that man again.
This time, my niece came back crying and said she didn't want to live with him anymore, and said her husband had found someone to take her back.
That’s why I told the villagers to keep their story to themselves and not tell anyone else about my niece’s return.”
"Then why did you suddenly say it?" Takagi, who was standing by, couldn't help but ask after hearing the village chief's explanation.
"Because we discovered it was a misunderstanding."
The village chief looked at the three of them and said, "We previously thought that Mr. Shangjing was sent by her husband, but we didn't expect that this concealment would cause such a big misunderstanding."
The village chief bowed again and said, "Seeing you all exploring everywhere as if you were investigating a case, I think it's best to resolve this misunderstanding that has inexplicably caused such a big problem as soon as possible."
"Then I wonder if we could see your niece again to confirm her safety?" Tang Ze asked pointedly, "That would also put our companions at ease."
If the situation is really a misunderstanding as the other party said, then everyone will be happy.
And if not, Tang Ze would almost know what the other party is planning.
"No problem. She also said she wanted to apologize to the guests in person. She's waiting outside right now."
Hearing Tang Ze's words, the village chief agreed readily, turned his head and gestured, and the hotel owner next to him quickly ran out.
Soon, a stylish urban beauty wearing a small suit opened the door, bowed slightly to everyone and walked in.
"I'm so sorry for causing you unnecessary worry." The woman quickly came to Naoki Kamii and apologized, "I'm so sorry..."
But Naoki Kamii, who was originally a little happy, was stunned the moment he saw the other person's face.
"You..." Naoki Kamii was stunned when he saw the woman in front of him.
Although the woman in front of him was good-looking, she was completely different from the intellectual and feminine Miss Kaoru from yesterday.
Although they look somewhat similar, they are not so similar that you can't recognize them at all.
"Who are you?"
Naoki Kamii looked at the other person and took two steps back and shouted, "You are not Miss Kaoru!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The woman said with a smile, "Weren't you with me the whole night? I am Xunzi!"
"wrong…!!"
Originally thought it was a misunderstanding, the result now made Naoki Kamii's mind confused again. He couldn't help but yelled back, "You are definitely not the Miss Kaoru from last night!"
"Well, don't look at Kamii-kun like that, but he's the top officer of this police academy."
Tang Ze smiled and looked at the woman and said, "We criminals have a lot of occupational diseases. In order to arrest wanted criminals, we must not make mistakes in things like a person's face. I am confident in this..."
“That’s annoying…” The woman felt a little uncomfortable under Tang Ze’s sharp gaze. She forced a laugh and said, “Have you forgotten what I look like after just one night?
Didn’t we meet at the herbarium yesterday, then go to the bar together and play table tennis for a long time? "
"It's true that I did all these with Miss Kaoru, but that person was not you..." Naoki Kamii denied it with a firm tone.
"Really... I'm wearing makeup." The woman pretended to be distressed and said, "Yesterday I put on heavy makeup, but today I'm not wearing it, so you can't recognize me..."
"Maybe you drank too much?"
The bar owner smiled and agreed, "Yesterday, you drank our homemade 'Daisy' first, and then had a cocktail here. I guess you're a little drunk, right?"
"No... Absolutely not..." Naoki Kamii said excitedly: "You are a bunch of liars!!"
"Ah, my dear... My dear, your unreasonable behavior is really giving us a headache..."
The village chief stopped the excited Naoki Kamii and said, "This is what happened. You were drunk that night and didn't recognize me, so there's nothing we can do..."
"Let's go." Tang Ze patted Naoki Kamii's shoulder to signal him to calm down, then bowed slightly to the village chief and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, junior, I have caused you trouble..."
Then he and Takagi exchanged glances and took the lead to leave, while Takagi pulled Kamii Naoki, who still wanted to argue, out of the hotel.
"Senior Takagi, why are you pulling me in..." Naoki Kamii said angrily: "They are lying, that is not Miss Kaoru at all!"
"Don't worry, if you can see it, do you think Detective Tang Ze can't see it?"
Gao Mu gestured to the other party to calm down: "But do you have any evidence now? The other party insisted that it was Miss Kaoru whom you saw last night. What can you do?"
"Let it go like this!" Naoki Kamii said indignantly.
"Who said that?" Gao Mu smiled meaningfully. "Didn't you notice that Detective Tang Ze used honorifics before?"
"Eh?" Naoki Kamii was stunned when he heard this, a little confused.
"Let me tell you a little secret about Detective Tang Ze."
Gao Mu looked at Tang Ze walking in front of him and lowered his voice and said, "The more respectful Detective Tang Ze is to the suspect, the worse it will be for the suspect.
So don’t be fooled by their complacency now, because they will fall even harder later.”
"Is that so?" Naoki Kamii asked in surprise.
"How many cases do you think I've worked on with Detective Tang Ze?"
Gao Mu whispered, "I only discovered this habit later. Every time the suspect feels proud of his trick to get away with it, Detective Tang Ze will not argue with him or get angry.
But if you think that everything will be fine like this, you are wrong, because Detective Tang Ze will find out everything they want to hide later.
Your methods, motives, even your inner thoughts, anything you want to hide will be seen through by Detective Tang Ze.
It’s like dissecting your entire body. Sometimes the prisoners even scream and say that Detective Tang Ze is a monster who can read minds…”
"So scary..." Naoki Kamii subconsciously shrank his neck.
"That's not the case." Takagi nodded and said, "There's a rumor circulating in the Metropolitan Police Department right now that comes from prison. You can imagine what's going on."
"What?"
Naoki Kamii, who was standing by, seemed to be immersed in the "urban legend" of the Metropolitan Police Department. He couldn't help but lower his body, trying to hear Takagi's faint voice clearly.
