After listening to Takagi's introduction of the general information, Tang Ze asked again.
"It's still in the forensic department. Kamii-kun has already gone to get it."
Gao Mu explained, "Because the deceased fell to his death from the viewing platform during the memorial service, we still haven't determined whether the case was a homicide or an accident."
"Senior, appraisal report."
While the two were discussing the case, Naoki Kamii hurried over with the autopsy report.
"At least now we can be sure it wasn't an accident."
After receiving the autopsy report and examining the various conditions on the body, Tang Ze determined the nature of the murder.
"Himicide?" The two were shocked when they heard Tang Ze's words. "Is there anything wrong with these injuries?"
"Look here, the fatal wound on the back of the head."
Tang Ze pointed to a wound in the autopsy report and said, "Judging from the shape of the wound, this wound on the back of the head was probably caused by hitting the stairs."
"Eh? But if that's the case, shouldn't it be an accident?" Naoki Kamii said in surprise.
"No, you'll understand if you think about it carefully. If it was an accident, why was his wound on the back?"
Tang Ze's words stunned the two of them for a moment, and then they suddenly realized why Tang Ze made such a judgment.
The reason is the wound on the back of the head.
Perhaps many people don’t know that when people die from falls, it is actually very difficult for the wound to injure the back of the head.
If you fall under normal circumstances, you will most likely land on your forehead, and your palms will subconsciously support yourself.
This is human's defense instinct and is inevitable.
The injury to the deceased was on the back of the head, which means that the deceased fell in a backward position.
In this case, even if someone stumbles and falls, the person's defensive instinct will cause them to take some protective action at the moment of falling.
For example, tilt your body and let one shoulder land first.
If this is the case, then the injury is on one side of the head.
But if the victim cannot even do this and the back of the head hits the steps, it means that the victim did not fall because of a slip, but fell due to the interference of some external force.
"For example, someone pushed you?"
After listening to Tang Ze's explanation, Gao Mu couldn't help but say: "If that's the case, then it's a complete murder case."
"But you're really amazing to be able to tell it's a murder just from a single wound."
Naoki Kamii said he had learned something new.
"How's the search going now?"
Since it has been confirmed that it is a murder case, the next step is naturally to search in the direction of murder.
Fortunately, after hearing the screams at the end of the festival, Takagi and Sato Miwako were able to control the scene in time before the police arrived.
Therefore, all the tourists present at the scene registered, which greatly saved their search time.
After investigation, they quickly found the suspect.
The deceased Tomio Tatsukawa's ex-wife, who has now changed her name back to her original name, Imamura Hanako, was also present at the festival at the time of the incident.
Since he was an acquaintance of the deceased and was at the crime scene, he was naturally the focus of suspicion.
Soon, Miwako Sato took him back to the Metropolitan Police Department for questioning.
The ones being interrogated this time were Naoki Kamii and Miwako Sato. This can be considered as training for the new recruits, after all, the new recruits will eventually have to go to the battlefield.
"Ms. Imamura, you and your ex-husband, Mr. Toio, were together at the Five Mountains Fire Festival last night, right?"
Although it was his first time as the referee, it was obvious that Naoki Kamii had good basic skills and a good mentality, and he did not look nervous at all.
"Yes, we did go to the Five Mountains Fire Festival together. He was the one who called me."
Hearing Naoki Kamii's question, Hanako Imamura's eyes were filled with worry: "But we separated when we were almost halfway up the stairs. I really don't know what happened afterwards..."
"Really? Then I wonder why Mr. Tomio asked you out this time?"
Naoki Kamii naturally did not believe Hanako Imamura's explanation, but he did not refute her directly. Instead, he changed the topic and tried to get more information from her.
Changing the topic will also make the other party think that Naoki Kamii accepts what she said and tacitly agrees with this, thereby letting the other party let down their guard.
"He has mentioned getting back together with me many times before, so I responded to him positively."
As expected, after Kamii Naoki finished asking the question, Imamura Hanako curled her lips, a slight look of disgust showing on her face, "But after that, he became even more aggressive, and even called my workplace.
He asked me out again on Sunday night, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to meet him and talk it over."
"But I think your rejection must have really excited him, right?" Upon hearing the possible motive, Uei Naoki immediately began to probe: "But he can't accept this reality and keeps pestering you."
"That's right." Imamura Hanako nodded and said, "But I've already made my position clear. Then, over there on the stairs..."
"You pushed him down by accident, didn't you?"
Naoki Kamii leaned forward and began to put pressure on the other party: "After all, he is an adult male, stronger than you. If a shove occurs..."
"No!"
Hearing Naoki Kamii's doubt, Hanako Imamura couldn't help but raise her voice again, "I really did break up with him halfway!
