Perhaps Kaoruko Inoue died in shock.
When she felt the pain and weakness in her body, when she saw the old man holding a katana in front of her, I wonder what thoughts went through her mind, and whether any regrets flashed through her mind?
But no matter what, Kaoru Inoue died.
Everyone at that time was shocked when they saw Sanjoin kill Inoue Kaoruko. At first he wanted to surrender himself.
But this move was opposed by everyone.
After all, in their opinion, the master committed the crime in order to protect their village.
So the whole village started to operate.
Dealing with corpses, cleaning up the crime scene, sinking corpses, unifying confessions, etc.
As for Inoue Naoki, an outsider who had contact with Inoue Kaoruko, they naturally noticed it.
Originally, at the beginning, they wanted to pretend that this person didn't exist.
If Naoki Kamii was a careless guy, he would just think that he was hallucinating because his mind was not clear after drinking.
It would be even better if the timid one thought it was a ghost. In that case, it is hard to say whether the other party would dare to step out of the village, let alone find out the truth.
Anyway, no matter what, just let him pretend that Kaoru Inoue doesn't exist.
So when faced with questions from Naoki Kamii, they chose to deny the existence of Kaoru Inoue.
With the whole village working together, they did indeed throw Kamii Naoki into chaos.
But the only thing they miscalculated might be Naoki Kamii's career.
Naoki Kamii, who believed in his own memory, did not believe the testimony from the villagers at all, and called Karasawa and Takagi to come and investigate.
However, after learning that the people were sent by the Metropolitan Police Department, the villagers panicked. As a last resort, the village chief used the same method he had used before, trying to insist that it was Naoki Kamii who was drunk and didn't remember his appearance.
In fact, this is an open conspiracy. When the whole village says so, sometimes the false will become true.
But Tang Ze saw through them all.
To be honest, the method used in this case is not very sophisticated. The "difficulty" lies in the fact that the entire village concealed the same thing.
After putting aside the testimonies of the villagers, the truth is actually very simple. Tang Ze even knew the ending after answering the phone.
After arriving, the truth only gradually surfaced.
These villagers obviously did not have a good way to deal with the bodies. In addition, there was an outsider, Naoki Kamii, who was always looking for them in the village, so the best way was to hide.
Throwing the body into the water might be a very safe place for most people. Tang Ze simply chose to investigate in places where the probability of the body being abandoned was higher.
This is roughly the situation. After explaining everything, it’s time to take the other party away.
"I have another question." After saying this, Village Chief Tateyama looked at Tang Ze and asked, "How did you find out?
We've left the traces very clean, right? Why are you so sure that the woman really existed? Even when we hired someone to impersonate her, you still don't believe it. Is it your colleague who made a mistake?
Do you trust this young man so much?"
"Senior..." After hearing the words of the village chief, Naoki Kamii's face showed excitement. He seemed to have not expected that Tang Ze would trust him, a junior whom he met for the first time.
However, the next moment he realized that he was being too sentimental...
Because that’s what Tang Ze answered.
"It's not because I trust him. After all, he's just a junior whom I met for the first time today. If it was Takagi, I would definitely believe him."
Tang Ze smiled and pointed at his nose and said, "The reason is very simple, because the smell is different.
After I arrived at the village, I have actually been trying to confirm whether what Kamii-kun said was true or not, and whether there was a Miss Kaoru who was with him last night.
Even though you cleaned the room very well, there was still some lingering rose-scented perfume.
And the lady you invited was wearing jasmine perfume."
"So you're sure we're lying?" Village Chief Tateyama asked, somewhat puzzled. "Just based on those two smells?"
"Is this the crime scene?" Tang Ze pointed at the katana: "That's the murder weapon. From where Mr. Sanjo is standing now, he drew his sword and looked towards where I am now.
The splattered blood looked like a large fan in my eyes."
"Senior is a famous detective, and his sense of smell is even called a superpower." Naoki Kamii came back to his senses and explained.
"It's truly a well-deserved reputation." Sanjoin shook his head slightly. "I said I'd surrender myself long ago, but now it seems I'll end up like this even if I try to escape, and it'll also implicate everyone..."
"I was responsible for handling the bodies!" Village Chief Tateyama said firmly, "I handled all the aftermath work like handling the bodies. I coerced the villagers into doing it, and you don't have any evidence to prove that they helped me!"
"Some things are not up to me, right?" Tang Ze pointed in the direction of the gate. With his sensitive ears, he had already heard many footsteps.
"You...you guys..." Lishan looked at everyone, trembling all over and unable to speak.
They expressed their position in silence, determined to stand with the village and the two men.
"I'll hire the best lawyer for you." Tang Ze sighed and said, "Maybe you can get a suspended sentence and avoid going to jail."
Sanjoin didn't answer. He just looked at the people at the gate of the yard and slowly closed his moist eyes.
"I have a request. Could you please taste our 'Daisy'?" At this moment, Tang Ze spoke.
"I'll get it."
Perhaps Tangze gave him an excuse to adjust his mood. Sanjoin walked quickly and soon took out a bottle of sake and a wine glass from another room.
"In that case, I won't be polite."
Tang Ze took the wine glass, watched the old man fill it up, then picked it up and drank it all.
As soon as it entered the throat, the clear wine went into the lungs with lingering flavor. When the taste of wine on the tip of the tongue faded away, there was even a hint of chrysanthemum fragrance, which made Tang Ze fall in love with this taste immediately.
"No wonder it's called "Daisy." Tang Ze said admiringly.
"I've been working on this flavor for ten years." Sanjoin said sadly, "If the contract can be finalized, I'll be relieved..."
"I believe that Nichimai Department Store will not give up such a good product. I will also recommend it to Mihua Department Store for you. Our Tang Ling Group owns their shares, so we will give them this face." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"Tang Ling Group...this...maybe this is fate..."
When Sanjoin heard Tang Ze's words, he was shocked by Tang Ze's identity and his face showed a complicated expression. Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.
