"My children are still young and my house is small..."
Facing Tang Ze's sarcastic question, Xun Banshanjian took off his mask with an unnatural look and explained somewhat embarrassedly.
"I run a flower arrangement studio at home..." Shunsaka Tachika explained, "With students coming and going, it's inevitably a bit noisy..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xun Banshan Jianji beside him stood up uncomfortably, holding his nose.
"Are you okay?" Takagi asked hurriedly when he saw the other party's actions.
"It's okay, just take some medicine." Xunban Shanjian took out a small red medicine box and explained to the two.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Takagi asked.
"I have hay fever." Xun Banshanjian sniffed uncomfortably. "Although it's summer already, I just happen to be allergic to the pollen of summer grasses..."
After Shunsaka Yamaken came back after taking his medicine, Karasawa and Takagi continued their questioning.
But unfortunately, Shunsaka Tachibana and Shunsaka Yamaken don't have many opportunities to meet their mother, so naturally they don't know much about her.
Faced with these two children who are unwilling to support him in his old age, Tang Ze has nothing to say except sighing.
After questioning and taking notes, Tang Ze let the two leave first.
They conducted a thorough investigation at the crime scene but did not find any suspicious clues.
After the Forensic Department took photos of the scene and collected evidence, Tang Ze and others also withdrew their team and returned to the research institute.
With the murder case involved, he naturally wouldn't go home at noon. After a busy morning, Ma Chengshi had completed the autopsy.
The two sides went straight to the cafeteria to eat and chat.
Although discussing the cause of death at the dinner table might affect one's appetite, that was only for outsiders. For experienced criminals like them, it had no impact at all.
"I won't read the autopsy report."
Placing the curry pork cutlet rice on the table, Tang Ze looked across at Aso and asked honestly, "Have you decided on the exact time?"
"It's out."
Ma Shengshi scooped a spoonful of mapo tofu and rice into his mouth, swallowed it, and took a sip of his drink. "The cause of death was cervical bone marrow damage caused by a cervical fracture."
"Is your cervical vertebra fracture..." Takagi heard this and said, "Was it caused by the fall?"
"Of course, it could also be caused by being beaten or pushed," Tang Ze added.
"Regarding this, I've collected a small amount of material from the wound on the victim's face and have sent it to the laboratory," Masashi said. "Once the results come back, we might be able to identify the murder weapon."
"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Ze saw how meticulously Asami arranged things and nodded in gratitude. He then asked, "Also, when is the estimated time of death?"
"Between two and three o'clock yesterday afternoon," Masamichi replied.
"After dinner, we'll go to the area surrounding the crime scene and ask the neighbors around us if they have any clues."
After hearing the information given by Masamichi, Tang Ze looked at Takagi and said.
"kindness."
Gao Mu nodded and said, "After dinner, take a half-hour break. It will be almost half past one when we get there. The neighbors should all be home at this time."
After arranging the afternoon investigation plan, everyone stopped talking and began to concentrate on the food in front of them.
Although half an hour of rest is short, for people who are accustomed to this intensity of work, half an hour of sleep is just right.
You won’t sleep too much and feel sluggish in the afternoon, and you can restore your energy.
After a short nap, the two drove back to the crime scene.
The two of them were lucky enough to come across two housewives chatting on the path in front of their house.
According to their self-introductions, the two were Mrs. Takenaga and Mrs. Xiangliang.
After revealing their identities, the two asked each other whether they had seen anyone entering or leaving Mrs. Shunsaka's house during the time of the deceased's death.
"Even if you ask, we don't know." Mrs. Zhuchang with short hair replied.
"That old lady doesn't interact much with her neighbors," Mrs. Xiangliang, who was wearing glasses, explained.
"No contact?" Tang Ze heard this and said, "Not with you either?"
"Of course, who would want to come with that weird old woman?" Mrs. Zhu Chang replied.
"Ah, of course we're not excluding her!"
Mrs. Xiangliang heard her partner's words were a bit too much, and quickly waved her hand to explain, "That old lady... is really a bit..."
"What's wrong?" Tang Ze asked, "Can you tell me in detail?"
"She feeds stray cats all day long!" Mrs. Xiangliang said with a sad expression.
"Yes, and the neighborhood committee in the town has clearly banned this," Mrs. Takenaga added.
"After all, wild cats have cat feces and urine and so on." Mrs. Xiangliang followed up with a sentence.
"And I'm allergic to cats. I feel like I'm going to get hives just thinking about it." Mrs. Zhu Chang said uncomfortably, hugging her arms.
"I see. Feeding the cats has caused trouble to the neighbors." Tang Ze nodded to show his understanding.
"But even so, she still refuses to stop feeding." Mrs. Xiangliang said with a pouting expression and a dissatisfied look.
"Later, we talked to her many times, asking her to take responsibility and adopt the night cat directly." Mrs. Zhuchang said with disgust, "But the old lady didn't adopt it, she just fed it."
"I understand. Thank you both for the information." Tang Ze bowed slightly to the two of them to express his gratitude.
