We'll go back and investigate the police call, and thank you Detective Maori for your help."
"They are all trivial matters." Maori Kogoro waved his hand and said seriously, "I will also investigate from other directions and try to catch that hateful woman as soon as possible!"
After waving his hand to wake Takagi from his trance, Karasawa and Maori Kogoro said goodbye and took Takagi back to the Metropolitan Police Department.
After parking the car and going upstairs, the two went straight to the forensic department.
"I'm here." Uncle Dengmi greeted them after seeing them push the door open. With a firm step, he wheeled his wheelchair to the computer. "I've found what you asked me to find."
On the way, Tang Ze had already asked Takagi and Uncle Tomi to contact each other, so the two of them didn't have to spend time on preliminary investigations and could just get straight to the point.
"Thank you for all the trouble, Uncle Dengmi." Tang Ze thanked him.
"Nothing, just my job." Uncle Dengmi took out a document from his computer desk: "This is the deceased's call record."
Tang Ze took it and scanned it. He saw the "110" number in the record and nodded: "Sure enough, there was a call to the police. It seems that something did happen that night."
"The time was one o'clock on Saturday morning, which is consistent with the administrator's testimony."
Gao Mu glanced at the time of the alarm call and speculated, "It's probably that Gao Hong Sanbashi sneaked onto the rooftop on Friday night and painted until 1 a.m. on Saturday.
But at this time he seemed to have witnessed something horrific, so he fled in a hurry without finishing the painting and later called the police."
"That's about it." Tang Ze nodded and said, "It seems the criminal is not the ex-boyfriend."
"That's not the case. Kusaka Takeyama was just bluffing. On the day of the incident, he was drinking with his friends at a nightclub until midnight. The surveillance video shows his alibi."
The door to the Forensic Science Department opened, and Sato Miwako stepped in. "What did you two find?"
"We've gained a lot." Takagi said as he briefly repeated their findings to Sato Miwako.
"In other words, all we need to do next is listen to what Gao Hong Sanqiao said in the police report. Then we can confirm what happened to him and the motive for his murder."
Sato Miwako's eyes lit up and she quickly looked at Uncle Tomi, who smiled and took out a CD and put it into the CD-ROM drive: "It's already prepared."
"You're worthy of being Uncle Tomi, you're always efficient." Takagi praised.
"You little brat, you only know how to talk nonsense." Deng Mi scolded with a smile, and then turned on the audio. Soon, the three of them listened to the call to the police made by Gao Hong Sanqiao before his death with serious expressions.
“Here is…”
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"It's like this, sorry, wrong number..."
After saying this, he hung up, which disappointed Officer Takagi and Sato Miwako, who were both expecting a lot.
"That's it?" Takagi asked in astonishment, "Uncle Tomi, you haven't finished copying the audio, have you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, brat!" Deng Mi said angrily, "That's all there is to the entire audio!"
"But, but this is too..." Sato Miwako's face was full of confusion: "It's too perfunctory."
This is no wonder. Judging from Gao Hong Sanqiao's flustered voice when the phone was connected, he obviously planned to call the police because he had encountered something.
But he just stopped talking as soon as he started. How could it not make people depressed?
"That's enough."
After listening to Gao Hong Sanqiao's call to the police before his death, Tang Ze was indeed not as disappointed as the other two. Instead, he smiled and said, "Now it's confirmed. He definitely witnessed a crime on that rooftop."
"Can..."
"You want to know why he called the police, but ended up hanging up and choosing to conceal the matter?"
Tang Ze looked at Sato Miwako and prompted: "But think about what he was doing at that time?"
"Painting murals..." Gao Mu said and then came to his senses, "So that's how it is. Although he wanted to call the police immediately when he saw the unknown criminal behavior.
But when the call was connected, he suddenly remembered that he was also doing something illegal.
If they were caught, they would be arrested for building damage, which is why we heard about this.”
"So that's how it is." Sato Miwako suddenly realized, "That's why he was so scared that he packed up his things and ran away. I didn't expect that the painting was not finished because of this reason..."
"Yes, that's right." Tang Ze looked at the two of them and said, "And not only that, while he was witnessing the crime, his own existence was also discovered because of that billboard."
“The billboard...ah, those lights!” Takagi, who had been to the scene, immediately realized, “Because of that billboard, it’s bright there at night too!
Even if you can't see a person's face, you can still tell the gender by looking at the body shape.
So when the mysterious woman took the picture of the painting during the day, she had no choice but to conceal her identity and go to Detective Maori's office, saying she wanted to find the man who painted the painting!
"As for the reason, there is only one, and that is to silence the witness."
Tang Ze's face was stern. "Then, based on the information provided by Detective Maori, they ambushed Takahiro Mihashi's house and waited until he got off work before killing him."
"Wait, you said them?" Sato Miwako noticed Tang Ze's choice of words and her face darkened. "Could it be that the murderer isn't just one person?"
