"Tang Zejun, did you find anything?"
"No, this room isn't big, but it's very messy. It might be difficult to find any clues."
In the deceased's room, Tang Ze heard what Sato Miwako said and shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, the two of them had returned to the crime scene and investigated it again, but still found nothing.
"I think we need to sit down and sort out the current situation." Tang Ze frowned and said, "This kind of aimless investigation is too much of a gamble."
Tang Ze is a relatively organized person in doing things, and to further describe him, he is a deep adherent of the "boiling water law".
Use a coordinated approach to plan your itinerary. If you don't go out for something important, then if you do go out, you should complete more than one thing you want or need to complete along the way.
Well, you can call it lazy.
In short, although investigating a case is a job and needs to be done seriously, Tang Ze also hopes to complete the work more reasonably and efficiently. Blindly and unplanned wasting of energy is absolutely not an option.
"Let's go. There really is no better solution right now. Let's go to a nearby coffee shop and start over." Sato Miwako thought about it and decided that Tang Ze should accept the proposal.
Although the crime scene would be fine, the other party's house was too messy and there was no place for the two of them to sit, let alone calm down and sort out the case from the beginning. It would be better to find a quiet place.
After driving three blocks, the two found a coffee shop, ordered coffee, and began to sort out the case.
First of all, if there is someone with a motive to kill Miss Asamiya, the only one at the moment is Kamikawa Tashiro.
But the other party currently has a perfect alibi, so he can basically be ruled out as a suspect.
"Since their alibi is impeccable and they can't think of any tricks, and they can't find any flaws, let's rule out the possibility that Kamikawa Tadai is the murderer."
Tang Ze first ruled out this line in his notebook and wrote "Kamikawa Tadai is not the murderer."
"Are you saying that we're going to search for the culprit based on the assumption that Kawadashiro isn't the murderer?" Sato Miwako understood Karasawa's intentions. "Are you listing all the possibilities and then eliminating them one by one?"
"Well, since the Kamikawa Tadai line is stuck, we need to change our thinking."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "The information and testimony we gathered this morning are enough to show that Miss Asamiya died in her own home. This will narrow down the scope."
As he spoke, Tang Ze began to give examples one by one in his notebook.
First of all, the landlord is familiar with Miss Asamiya and may have a spare key to her room, so he has the conditions to enter the room.
But the other party went back to the room after saying hello, and the owner of the vegetable store testified to this, so it is ruled out.
Next is the first person to discover the crime, Ryoka Hasegawa. The two were drinking buddies, so it would have been easier for them to break into each other's room, but committing a crime requires a motive, which currently does not appear to be there.
"This is something we need to investigate." Sato Miwako nodded. "Anything else?"
"Uh..." Tang Ze paused, holding the pen, and said awkwardly, "That's all..."
The college students were complete strangers... They hadn't even known the deceased before, let alone going out to a convenience store afterwards.
It was Tang Ze's suggestion to re-examine the case, but this is all the information we have at the moment, and it feels a bit anticlimactic at the moment.
"Damn it, is this really a robbery and murder case?" Sato Miwako was a little discouraged. "But although the deceased's room is messy, there's no money missing..."
Tang Ze thought about it and wrote "the boots on the deceased's feet" in his notebook. He always felt that this was very important.
"Detective Sato, from a woman's perspective, do you think the boots on the deceased's feet were not taken off in time, or were they put on by the criminal?" Tang Ze looked at Sato Miwako, who was also a woman, and asked.
"Well, I think the victim was killed before he could take off his boots, and in the entrance."
"Why do you think so?" Tang Ze asked.
"First of all, those boots are difficult to put on." Sato Miwako said, "Don't think that the laces at the bottom are just for decoration and you can put them on smoothly just by untying the top laces.
If the laces of knee-length boots are not loosened as a whole, even if your feet can pass through the long boot shaft, they will get stuck on the upper part of the shoe, so you need to loosen the laces as a whole.
It is easy to loosen the shoelaces once they are long, but it takes a little effort to tighten them.
The deceased's room was so messy. If Miss Asamiya wanted to go into the bedroom or balcony to do something, I don't think she would take off her shoes on purpose. She might have just walked in with her shoes on.
Similarly, if the murderer had killed the victim, he would have chosen to leave the scene immediately rather than go through the trouble of putting the boots on the victim.
At this point, Sato Miwako took a sip of coffee and said, "So it's unlikely that the deceased took off his shoes and walked into the bedroom. Instead, he was killed in the entrance hall before taking off his shoes."
When Tang Ze thought of the messy room, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and had to admit that what Sato Miwako said made sense.
"Shoes, why does this case only deal with shoes, boots and high heels..." Such a thought flashed through Tang Ze's mind.
At this moment, the familiar flash of inspiration appeared in Tang Ze's mind again, but this time it was not as fleeting as last time, but it flashed through Tang Ze's brain like lightning!
"Bang!"
Tang Ze stood up so suddenly that his coffee was about to spill onto the table. Fortunately, Sato Miwako, who was standing opposite him, instinctively held onto the coffee cup and looked up at Tang Ze. "Tang Ze-kun, what's wrong? Did you think of something?"
"Sorry, I was too excited." Tang Ze sat down and drank the coffee in one gulp to ease his dry mouth: "Sato-san, we actually forgot such an important suspect!!"
"Eh? Who is it?" Sato Miwako looked confused.
After Tang Ze calmed down, he slowly said, "The owner of those white high heels! Even though she didn't show up, it doesn't mean she has nothing to do with the case!"
"Kamikawa Tashiro's girlfriend!?"
Sato Miwako also looked enlightened when she heard this, "Yes, how could I forget her? As Kamikawa Tashiro's girlfriend, she naturally had a motive.
Moreover, the key to Miss Asamiya's room is in Kamikawa Tashiro's room, so it's not impossible that the other party accidentally found this key!"
"Indeed, perhaps they stumbled upon the key and later became aware of Ms. Asamiya's presence."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "Then she took advantage of the fact that Kamikawa Tadashi went fishing with his friends yesterday and sneaked into Miss Asamiya's house."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go." Sato Miwako finished her coffee in a few sips and was about to get up and leave, looking very decisive.
However, it was only after the two got in the car and drove for some distance that Sato Miwako discovered it.
It seems that Tang Ze was driving in the completely wrong direction?
