In the yard below the slope.
With his extraordinary eyesight, Tang Ze smiled slightly when he saw Conan trapped in Xiaolan's happy punishment of "face cleanser".
After evading Takagi who asked him what he had done, Tang Ze turned around and focused his attention on the case again.
This wave can be said to be a hidden merit and fame. In order to give benefits to Conan, his little brother, he really broke his heart~
Now, I'm afraid that Xiaolan won't let Conan out of the "welfare" before going to the supermarket for a big shopping spree.
Thinking that Conan has been able to enjoy Xiaolan's "soft" embrace for such a long time, Tang Ze feels it necessary to ask Conan to treat him to a meal to thank him for his "godly assist".
After getting rid of the annoying guy Conan and sending him to enjoy the "benefits", Tang Ze felt refreshed.
Excluding Conan from the case at the beginning would have saved me a lot of trouble. Besides, the original reward for this case was estimated to be 300 yuan. If Conan participated, it would reduce the difficulty and the reward for me, which would be bad...
After skipping this little episode, Tang Ze and the others returned to the main topic.
"The time was probably around 8 o'clock yesterday morning, right?"
Takagi, standing nearby, held up the police handbook containing yesterday's testimony and asked, "You didn't see the president at the regular morning meeting before work, so you went to his office to call him."
"Yes, this way." The young man nodded with a slightly serious expression, and then led the two of them into the house.
"The president is originally in another building?" Tang Ze asked while looking around.
"Yes, it's at the innermost part of the office." The young man nodded when he heard it.
"And it was here that you found President Katsugorō Kitamura lying on his side on the ground." Takagi continued to confirm.
“Yes, that’s right…” The young man nodded and said, “When I pushed the door open, I saw the president lying on the ground.
At the time, I thought the president had a sudden illness or fell down, so I hurriedly tried to help him up, but when I turned his body over, I found a knife stuck in his heart...
I immediately called the police after that..."
"I wonder if you noticed anything unusual at the scene at that time?" Takagi couldn't help but ask as he looked at the crime scene which remained intact.
"It seems there's nothing worth noting..." The young man scratched his head and said, "Maybe I was too panicked and didn't pay attention at all..."
But hasn't the criminal been caught? Why are you still asking these questions? "
"Because we can't find any hard evidence." Gao Mu smiled helplessly and said, "Because of some unexpected discoveries, the case has fallen into a difficult situation..."
Tang Ze, who was standing by, did not change his expression after hearing this. He had already heard Takagi talk about the case in the car before, and he knew what the dilemma Takagi was talking about was.
He observed the situation around him and then began to sort out the current status of the case.
The victim, Katsugorō Kitamura, was the president of the factory and at 47 years old was considered young.
The estimated time of death was between 4:00 and 10:00 p.m. the day before yesterday.
Of course, the body was not found after the death, and it was not until eight o'clock in the morning of the next day that the police were notified.
After that, Takagi and his team immediately cordoned off the crime scene and launched an investigation.
As for the suspect, he soon surfaced under the police investigation and was immediately taken back to the Metropolitan Police Department yesterday.
However, things were not so smooth.
The suspect's name is Yuichi Minamida, the same age as the deceased. Because he had been injured recently, his right foot was bandaged when he was arrested, and he could only walk with the help of crutches.
He is the head chef of a small Western restaurant and also a high school classmate of the victim, Katsugoro Kitamura.
During the interrogation, Yuichi Minami did state that he did visit Kitamura's company yesterday, but denied that he had killed the other person.
However, according to Takagi and his team's investigation, they found that Yuichi Minami had borrowed 3 million from the victim Katsugoro Kitamura.
Because the repayment deadline had arrived and the victim, Katsugorō Kitamura, disagreed with his delay in repaying the money, a conflict arose between the two, and this was also why the police suspected he had murdered the victim.
However, when questioning the other party, Minamida Yuichi refused to admit it and asked the police to produce evidence.
But there were no fingerprints of the other party on the murder weapon.
Judging from the few fiber fragments found on the murder knife by the Forensic Department, there is no doubt that the criminal wiped them off completely with a handkerchief or cloth after killing the victim Katsugorō Kitamura.
Although the motive was not strong at the beginning, as they investigated in depth, they discovered that there was actually another hidden story behind it, and they were even able to basically identify Minami Yuichi as the culprit.
Because the other party has a very strong motive to kill.
According to the interrogation and investigation, it was found that Kitamura Katsugorō had secretly spread rumors that the Western restaurant run by Minami Yuichi had problems with hygiene management and had been investigated and punished many times.
This rumor caused the restaurant's reputation to plummet, and many people even dared not eat in the restaurant, leading to business decline.
Three months later, Katsugoro Kitamura lent 3 million in financing to Yuichi Minami.
The reason for doing this is because Katsugoro Kitamura plans to buy Yuichi Minami's shop and land.
Unfortunately, when Minami Yuichi realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Regarding the incident of being plotted against by his high school friend, Yuichi Minamida has publicly expressed his anger and dissatisfaction towards Kitamura to people around him.
On the day of repaying the money, which was the day of the murder at one o'clock in the afternoon, Yuichi Minamida arrived at the other party's office on time as agreed with Katsugoro Kitamura.
This conversation seemed to last a long time, from one o'clock to about three o'clock. This was the testimony provided by the young man they were questioning.
Because there was a sudden problem with the machines in the factory, he knocked on the door and came to Katsugorō Kitamura's office and happened to see this scene.
After that, although he left the office, he still heard the quarrel coming from inside the office.
Yuichi Minamida asked Katsugorō Kitamura if he had been plotting against him since he wanted his land.
Later, he heard the sound of someone falling in the office. Because there was a crutch, he thought it was the president who pushed Minami Yuichi.
After that, he heard Kitamura Katsugoro turn hostile and yell at him to put down the certificate and get away, and before leaving, he called him a "useless trash".
