"Then I won't be polite. This time I want to try the flavor with Assam and milk." Tang Ze said with a smile.
"That's what I'd love to have you try my craftsmanship." Tian Hongming seemed very happy when the black tea department was mentioned, and he immediately pulled Tang Ze back to the office.
With the aroma of milk and black tea entering his mouth, Tang Ze squinted his eyes in satisfaction and praised: "It's really good~"
"It's great that you like it." Hearing Tang Ze's praise, Bu Tianhong smiled comfortingly and said, "Then let's get to the point. Have you two found any other clues after your investigation?"
"Yes, that's right."
Tang Ze reached out and took the note from Takagi, spreading it on the table, "We found that the paper used for this note and Miss Iimori's suicide note was torn from the same notebook.
The content above is a reminder to myself to return the CD to Akio Ikedo."
"Is there something wrong with this?" Hiroaki Buta asked doubtfully, "Since you've decided to commit suicide, it's normal not to care about your life.
It’s better to say that many people choose to commit suicide in order to escape certain things in their lives.”
"That's what we thought at the beginning." Tang Ze nodded, then took out the suicide note from his pocket: "But we discovered some things that are illogical and inexplicable."
"Something that can't be explained?" Buda Hiroaki looked at Tang Ze and asked, "What is it?"
"The key to the problem lies in this notebook."
Gao Mu, who was standing by, spread out his notebook and said, "We found that the last ten pages were torn off."
Tang Ze used his fingers to push away the torn edge and said, "Judging from the edge of the paper, this should have been torn from the last page."
"It seems to be true." Hiroaki Buta looked at the notebook in front of him and nodded, agreeing with Tang Ze's statement.
"That's the thing I can't figure out."
Tang Ze looked at Buta Hiroaki with a puzzled look on his face and said, "I think that no matter how carefully you tear this kind of notebook, you won't be able to tear the edges neatly.
Just like this notebook now, no matter how you tear it, there will be irregular marks on the edge. This is a common problem of this type of notebook.
However, this shortcoming is of great help in the current situation.
After comparing them, we unexpectedly discovered that the torn marks on the suicide note matched those on the notebook."
"But what's the problem with that?" Hiroaki Buta asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Doesn't it just prove that Iimori wrote the suicide note herself?"
"But the key issue is that the suicide note is on the ninth page."
Looking at the stunned Buta Hiroaki, Tang Ze kindly explained: "This ninth sheet is torn off, the ninth sheet in the ten pages.
The tenth one matches the note Ms. Iimori left reminding her to return the CDs."
Having said that, Tang Ze overlapped the note with the tenth remaining note that Takagi picked out from the notebook, and the irregular patterns on the edges completely overlapped.
Looking at the overlapping edges, Buta Hiroaki slowly leaned back in his chair. Although his expression was calm, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
Obviously, Tang Ze and his companions' investigation from subtle details to their current discoveries still left him with a vague sense of crisis.
"In other words, Ms. Iimori wrote a suicide note first, and then wrote a note asking to return the CD."
Tang Ze seemed not to notice the other person's expression, and continued to tell the other person about his discovery with a serious face, as if he really regarded the other person as an object of discussion.
“That’s where we have no clue.”
Takagi nodded in agreement, and then, as Karasawa had instructed, he launched his attack with a good-natured smile on his face: "Ms. Iimori suddenly decided to commit suicide and spent the whole night writing a suicide note. So far, this is quite normal.
But after writing her suicide note, she suddenly wrote a note reminding herself to return the CD, stuck it on the refrigerator, and then went back to bed and drank poison to commit suicide.
Her actions are so chaotic and illogical. Does Professor Buta have any advice?"
"It seems I was wrong. I relied solely on theoretical knowledge to systematically judge a person, forgetting that people are complex individuals. I am truly ashamed."
In response to Takagi's question, Buta Hiroaki apologized earnestly, "I'm truly ashamed and sorry for causing you any trouble!"
"No, no... You're being too serious." Tang Ze quickly waved his hand to stop him. "Your words and opinions have been very helpful to us."
Although he still appeared polite on the surface, Tang Ze looked at Hiroaki Buta and his heart became more serious.
He realized that he had really met his match this time. The other party seemed to be admitting his mistake, but was actually retreating. He directly abandoned his previous views and once again completely cleared himself of all charges, blocking all of Tang Ze's attempts.
At least until now, Tang Ze has not obtained any useful information from the other party.
"Since Detective Tang Ze has discovered such important information, I wonder if I could hear your opinion?"
Just as Tang Ze was feeling lost in thought, Buta Hiroaki, after hearing Tang Ze's comfort, took the initiative and asked him for his opinion.
"So what do you think of this statement?"
Hearing the other party's question, Tang Ze did not intend to hide anything. Instead, he took the suicide note and frankly revealed his reasoning: "In fact, this is not the last note written by Miss Iimori Saki, and it may not even be a suicide note.
