"Eh? Computer?"
Hearing Tang Ze's words, Gao Mu touched his chin and approached the desk and said, "It's true that there's room for a computer here, but it's also possible that she didn't buy a computer?"
“No, she did.”
Tang Ze smiled and pointed to the digital cameras on the shelf nearby. "Isn't it a bit strange that someone who uses a digital camera doesn't have a computer at home?"
"Indeed...if there is no computer, then the digital camera is basically useless..." Takagi nodded when he heard it.
"If this alone isn't enough to confirm it, let's take a look at this." Tang Ze picked up the phone and flipped it over, "Sure enough, it's very clean.
Look, even though the phone line that connected the computer to the dial-up line is gone, the groove is very clean. It's obvious that it was just unplugged. If there is no computer with Internet access at home, there must be some dust here.
"Well, that's true..." Takagi turned his head to look at the empty desk, "So the criminal took the computer away because there might be some evidence against him stored in it?
For example...evidence related to a case from a year ago?"
"Yes, there is a high possibility that this is the case." Tang Ze nodded.
"Um, Tang Zejun, I have something I want to ask you."
Instead of continuing to discuss the computer, Gao Mu looked at Tang Ze after he finished speaking and asked, "You said before that Miss Teraizumi said something that really concerned you yesterday. When I asked you about it, you said now is not the time, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Tang Ze nodded and said, "What's wrong?"
"I was thinking..." Takagi said with some hesitation: "You said now is not the right time, is it because of the re-enactment of Inspector Shikain?"
"Oh? You found out." Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes, I didn't mention it because Shihuayuan was there at the time."
"So what exactly did Ms. Teraizumi say yesterday?" Takagi's expression grew increasingly serious. "Could it be...that this statement has made you suspicious of Inspector Shikain?"
"Detective Takagi, you've really made great progress." Tang Ze exclaimed, "Can you even see that?"
"After all, I'm the one who's partnered with you the most." Gao Mu smiled and said, "I think I should have made some progress."
"Yes, I didn't say it because Shikain was there."
Tang Ze nodded and immediately told Takagi the details of his meeting with the deceased Teraizumi Keiko yesterday.
The sentence that Tang Ze cared about was what Keiko Teraizumi accidentally let slip.
"—She must be upset about having her husband taken away from her..."
"Wait... I remember that case a year ago. The reason why Miss Teraizumi was released was not only because of Inspector Shikain's insistence.
Another major reason is that Teraizumi Keiko kept denying it at the time, and there was no motive for Teraizumi Keiko to kill the victim..."
At this point, Takagi's face darkened. "But Teraizumi Keiko accidentally let slip that they were having an affair. If it's an emotional entanglement, then it's not surprising that they have a motive... In other words, Teraizumi Keiko could really be the culprit!?"
At this point, Takagi suddenly realized an even more shocking fact. He turned his head sharply and looked at Karasawa, "Karasawa-kun! I remember that the only one who was present with you yesterday and heard this was Inspector Shikain, right?!"
At this point, Takagi suddenly understood why Tang Ze kept silent at the time, and cold sweat broke out instantly.
After all, Shihuayuan was the one who insisted that Teraizumi Keiko was innocent. It can be said that he believed that Teraizumi Keiko was innocent more than anyone else.
Tang Ze noticed what was said yesterday, and Si Huayuan naturally noticed it as well.
Moreover, compared to Tang Ze, an outsider, Shihuayuan is probably even more unable to accept this fact, because she has always believed that Teraizumi Keiko has deceived her.
The real culprit is Keiko Teraizumi, and I am still trying my best to exonerate her.
If this is the mentality, then it is understandable that Sihuayuan, who feels that his trust has been betrayed, would have murderous intentions.
Even Takagi could imagine what happened between the two parties after Miss Teraizumi Keiko left yesterday.
As Shihuayuan once supported Keiko Teraizumi's innocence, the two naturally have a good relationship, and naturally he has Keiko Teraizumi's contact information.
After Teraizumi Keiko let the cat out of the bag and left in a panic, Shikain called her and asked her to meet, saying he wanted to talk.
Afterwards, Teraizumi Keiko went to the place where Shikain had agreed to meet her, and was killed by him, pretending that she had died from an accidental fall...
"Could it be that Detective Karasawa has already noticed this?" After Takagi figured out the whole situation, he asked with some disbelief, "Could it be that Inspector Shikain is really the culprit?"
"I never said that. After all, this is just a possibility." Tang Ze smiled slightly and said, "But don't forget, preconceived notions are a big taboo in a search."
But just as the two finished their conversation and were about to search Keiko Teraizumi's apartment again to see if they could find anything, the door of the apartment suddenly opened.
This movement naturally attracted the attention of Tang Ze and the other man. When they turned their heads to look outside the door, they were startled by the familiar figure that came into their sight.
"Inspector Shikain!?"
Seeing the pretty figure standing in front of the door, Gao Mu's words were full of horror, "Why are you here!?"
Tang Zejun had clearly told her not to get involved in the case, but why did she appear in the deceased's room at this moment?
Acting on his own? Unwilling to be persuaded by Tang Ze and wanting to investigate on his own?
Or...I'm looking for something in Teraizumi Keiko's room...
In general, given that Keiko Teraizumi may be the culprit in the case a year ago, the convicted Keiko Teraizumi had every intention of killing the other party.
However, she did not listen to Tang Ze's advice at this moment, and came to the deceased's apartment without permission, and alone!
This is a big taboo!
Even for Tang Ze and others, unless there are special circumstances, two people are usually needed to act together!
"Why... are you here?" Sihuayuan couldn't help but ask after seeing the two people in the house.
"That should be my line." Tang Ze looked at Sihuayuan with a cold expression, "I clearly warned you not to get involved in this case."
"Sorry...On the way back, I heard the detective from the local police station say that they were going to bring Miura Miyako and the other girl back for questioning..."
Shihuayuan looked down at the ground and said, "I think this approach is very dangerous... We can't just focus on the two of them, so I wanted to come over and see if there are any clues...
I acted on my own... I'm sorry..."
