In the photo, apart from the body being moved away, there was basically no major change in other places at the crime scene.
The only difference is that it appears on the corpse.
Although a fixed line was drawn at the scene to mark the traces left by the body after it fell to the ground, the condition of the body at that time could not be seen.
In the photo taken at the crime scene, Kitamura Katsugorō's body had a pair of glasses drooping on his face.
The glasses were not worn properly on the eyes, but because of the force of the fall, they were hanging on the side of the face.
It's not because of the position, it's normal to have such a situation after falling. What Tang Ze noticed is that the deceased Kitamura Katsugoro was wearing glasses.
"Did you find anything?"
Looking at Tang Ze's sudden frown and the sharp flash in his eyes after he took the photo, Takagi asked with a slightly excited look.
Based on his understanding of Tang Ze, Tang Ze's expression would usually change at such times when he made some discovery.
Otherwise, Tang Ze would have kept a calm face and thought about the problem.
“There are indeed some discoveries.”
Tang Ze pointed at the glasses in the photo, then took out the victim's ID photo and said, "Look here, he's not wearing glasses, but he was wearing glasses at the crime scene."
"Ah, we have confirmed this before. These are actually reading glasses." Takagi explained as he took the photo in his hand and put it away.
"Reading glasses?" Tang Ze touched his chin thoughtfully and asked, "Generally speaking, reading glasses are only worn when you need to see something, right?"
"Hmm? Could it be that President Kitamura was killed while looking at something before he died?"
After hearing what Tang Ze said, Gao Mu couldn't help but look around and said, "But there doesn't seem to be anything in this room that the dead would look at."
"Yes, the key now is that we need to find the missing thing."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "That thing might have been taken away by Nan Tian Youyi, or he might have hidden it in some way."
"But what is the key thing?" Gao Mu scratched his head and said, "And how did he take that key thing away? These are the key points."
Tang Ze looked down at the traces on the body and found a pair of gray cotton slippers placed on the right leg.
"Um, excuse me, are these slippers the president's?" Tang Ze asked the young man who was quietly waiting for them.
"Yes, that's right." The young man nodded.
"When Minamida Yuichi came the day before yesterday, was your president also wearing these slippers?" Tang Ze asked.
"Of course, President Kitamura was wearing one too." The young man thought for a moment and said, "I remember it was Mr. Minamida who was barefoot."
"Detective Karasawa, is there anything wrong with these slippers?" Takagi couldn't help but ask after hearing the conversation between the two.
"It just feels a little unnatural." Tang Ze looked down at the slippers on the ground and said, "Have you ever thought about why his slippers are in a place like this?"
"This...could it be that he threw it off when he fell after being stabbed?"
Gao Mu looked down at the slippers placed next to the line that fixed the body traces, and immediately denied it: "No, that's not right. These slippers are neatly placed together. It feels like someone deliberately placed them here."
Hearing Takagi's words, Tang Ze nodded approvingly. If it were in the past, Takagi would definitely not notice these somewhat abnormal details.
But after working with him for a long time, my observation and reasoning skills have improved a lot.
However, Takagi didn't know that Tangze was praising him. At this moment, Takagi, who came to this conclusion, couldn't help but look at the young man next to him.
The other party was the first person to discover Kitamura Katsugorō's body. If there were any changes to the slippers, he would have the opportunity to tamper with them.
"Hey, hey! You're not doubting me, are you?!" the young man exclaimed in surprise, "I definitely didn't put that there. It was already here when I got here!"
"The possibility that Minamida Yuichi took off his shoes after killing President Kitamura can be essentially ruled out."
Tang Ze said, "After all, there's no reason for the other party to do such a strange thing. Being so unnatural will only bring unnecessary trouble."
"Well... President Kitamura couldn't have taken it off himself, could he?"
Gao Mu bent down and looked at the slippers on the ground and sighed: "Then what is the purpose?"
"Maybe it's not about anything, but what Yuichi Minamida induced President Kitamura to do." Tang Ze looked around the room again, and finally his eyes fell on the household stepladder in the corner of the room.
Following Tang Ze's gaze, Gao Mu also saw the other party's stepladder in the corner.
“That’s it!”
The moment Takagi saw the stepladder, he realized the key point and his expression immediately became excited: "Minamida Yuichi used this stepladder to create high and low points to kill President Kitamura from the bottom up!
As long as President Kitamura stands on the stepladder, President Kitamura, who was originally lower than him, will be higher than him! "
"That's roughly the situation, but the key is how Minamida Yuichi induced President Kitamura to step onto the ladder on his own initiative."
Tang Ze's words made Gao Mu stunned for a moment, and Xuan Ji looked at the objects hanging high in the room.
Clocks, air conditioners...
If these things break down, President Kitamura, as the owner of the office, will definitely go back to repair them.
However, there is no guarantee that it will be repaired!
If you put yourself in his shoes, you will understand that if something unrelated was broken, President Kitamura might not choose to repair it.
After all, the two were still arguing, so it was very reasonable for him to drive Minami Yuichi away first, and then repair these things.
So considering all these factors, it was definitely something that President Kitamura had to repair first.
Losing it would put them in a very unfavorable situation, so Kitamura chose to repair it first.
And this is probably the core key of this method.
As his thoughts flowed and progressed little by little, Tang Ze couldn't help but look at the fixed line of the corpse traces on the side.
There, the pair of gray cotton slippers were neatly placed on the other person's thighs after he fell.
Tang Ze gradually moved his gaze upwards and finally saw something on the ceiling above the corpse.
Above the ceiling, a gorgeous European-style chandelier is hanging there quietly.
The moment he looked at the chandelier, Tang Ze's face did not show any relief after deciphering the code, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
