Early the next morning.
The alarm rang much earlier than usual. Tang Ze turned off the alarm, got out of bed, quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, then put on his suit and walked out of the dormitory.
There's nothing we can do, after all, a murder happened yesterday.
Tang Ze and Takagi had to get up early. After meeting up, they yawned and went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together.
The murder happened at around nine o'clock yesterday, and they didn't come back to sleep until around ten o'clock. Now Tang Ze and Takagi are a little tired when they get up.
Although Tang Ze was used to staying up late in his previous life, it is still common to go to bed early at nine or ten o'clock in this era.
After Tang Ze came into this world, he had long since gotten rid of his bad habit of staying up late, and his "mobile phone addiction" was even more rootless - after all, today's mobile phones had no appeal to Tang Ze at all.
Although it is common for them to stay up late in their profession, they still feel a little uncomfortable when their early-to-bed-and-early-to-rise routine is interrupted.
Fortunately, the breakfast in the cafeteria was pretty good. After a cup of coffee and a fresh egg sandwich, the feeling of fullness in my stomach gave me a slight boost of energy.
"Ah, I'm satisfied, satisfied." After finishing his meal, Takagi patted his stomach with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Let's go. The forensics department has probably finished the testing. Let's see what they have."
However, after Tang Ze got up, he first went to buy several sandwiches and coffee, and then the two of them took breakfast to the forensic class.
Although the people in the forensic department have no sense of existence and are just ruthless tools, their functions cannot be ignored.
And although they have a hard time, they are definitely the department that needs to be pleased among many parties.
After all, as long as you handle a case, you will inevitably have to deal with forensic medicine.
The same was true when Tang Ze bought breakfast. After all, the people in the forensic department were different from them. After taking the statements yesterday, Tang Ze and his team basically finished their work, while the people in the forensic department were working overtime to test the evidence.
This is also the reason why Tang Ze and others were able to go to the forensic department to inquire about information early in the morning. When they were sleeping soundly yesterday, the tool people in the human forensics department worked overtime and stayed up all night.
Even though this is their job in theory, they should still bring some breakfast as a courtesy.
"Uncle Dengmi, thank you for your hard work. Here is breakfast."
After entering the office, Tang Ze placed the food on the desk outside and then walked into the studio.
The studio is where the supervisors work and collect evidence. No food is allowed inside. After all, there are physical evidences everywhere that need to be tested, and it would be troublesome if they get mixed up.
"Oh~ I also brought breakfast. Sorry for the expense."
Deng Mi, wearing glasses, walked out of the studio with a document in his hand. "This is the item you asked me to test yesterday. The tiny balls of hair stuck to the mask are not man-made, but belong to gray rats."
"Gray rat?" Takagi looked surprised.
"It's a small animal similar to a rabbit, a member of the squirrel family," Tomi explained. "Grey squirrel fur is one of the most economically valuable furs."
"The same gray rat hair as on the mask was found on the victim's neck and mouth." Tang Ze looked at the report in his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"Although there was gray rat hair in both places, unfortunately, no fur items were found at the crime scene," said Dengmi.
"So the weapon the criminal used to strangle the victim was made of the fur of a chinchilla?"
Gao Mu couldn't help but reasoned, "If he can't be found at the crime scene, then he must have been taken away by the criminal after committing the crime, right?"
"There are other possibilities," Tang Ze said. "Perhaps the criminal's clothing was made of fur, and it accidentally touched those two places when he committed the crime."
"A bandit wearing furs..." Takagi couldn't help but laugh as he imagined it.
"Takagi-san, you're not imagining someone like a bandit, are you?"
When Tang Ze and Deng Mei saw Takagi's strange smile, they knew that the other party was probably thinking something wrong, and they rolled their eyes at the same time.
"Ah... sorry..." Officer Takagi laughed awkwardly and looked at Tomi, "Please continue."
"In the victim's home, the cash and passbooks were still there. No property was lost."
"If that's the case, then we can rule out the possibility that the thief, after being caught burglarizing, would have silenced the owner." Takagi looked at Tang Ze and asked, "Tang Ze-kun, what do you think?"
"Maybe the stolen items are not things like cash and passbooks." Tang Ze thought thoughtfully as the exhibition board he saw at the other party's house yesterday flashed through his mind.
"ah?"
However, Tang Ze had no intention of explaining. After all, these were just unfounded guesses.
After that, the two of them sorted out the information they had and, based on the clues Takagi had obtained when taking notes last night, prepared to visit the "Matsushita" residence where the deceased had often visited.
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, the two drove to the "Panasonic" residence, hoping that this request would be fruitful.
"What a big house." After getting out of the car, Gao Muliang looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
The two-story independent villa even has stairs in front of the door, and the main door is a double door.
After ringing the doorbell, a long-haired woman in a white sweater soon opened the door. It seemed that she was the hostess of the house, Mrs. Matsushita.
The other person was probably in his early thirties, good-looking, and spoke in a gentle manner.
"Hello?"
"Ah, excuse me for visiting. I'm Karasawa from the Third Department of Investigation Section 1."
"I'm Takagi."
As Karasawa was introducing himself, Takagi showed his police officer ID to the other party to prove his identity.
"that…"
"Come in."
Before Takagi could explain the reason for his visit, the other party had already moved away from the door, leaving Tang Ze and the other man standing in front of the open door.
"It's about Mrs. Mitori, right?" Mrs. Matsushita said as she took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet beside her and invited the two into the room.
"Well, I heard that she seems to come here to play often."
"We heard it from Mrs. Mitori's husband yesterday," Takagi explained with a smile.
"We were just talking about her." Mrs. Matsushita extended her hand as if to invite them in, and then she led the two of them into the house. "This way, please."
"Excuse me."
"Excuse me."
The two of them changed into slippers and walked ahead, but Tang Ze deliberately lagged behind.
Because on the clothes rack in the entrance, there were white, black, and a gray and white fur coat hanging, which caught Tang Ze's attention.
Seeing Takagi follow in first, Tang Ze stopped and looked at the three coats hanging on the coat rack.
