After returning to the Scientific Research Institute with Takagi from the Metropolitan Police Department, the two had no intention of resting and went straight to find Saito Hiroshi.
"What are the results of the analysis?" After finding Hiroshi Saito, Tang Ze went straight to the point.
"The combustion aid is lamp oil." Saito Hiroshi replied directly.
"So, Samejima-san's intuition was correct after all."
Gao Mu, who was standing by, exclaimed in admiration, "That's amazing! In the field of firefighting alone, I think he's on par with Detective Tang Ze."
"But the plastic bucket of lamp oil melted on the shelf."
Saito Hiroshi stroked his chin and pondered, "If the sudden attack during the fire was lamp oil, I feel that the cause of the fire may be something else."
"Are you confused about the scene?" Tang Ze asked.
"It's just my personal feeling. I don't think the fire was caused by spilled lamp oil." Saito Hiroshi frowned and said, "It feels like something other than lamp oil."
"You mean, there may be omissions in the fire department's investigation?" Tang Ze frowned.
"It's just a feeling. If you want to verify it, you need to continue investigating." Saito Hiroshi said, looking at Tang Ze, "But if you do that, the pressure might be a bit too much for you."
"Indeed, after all, this is equivalent to doubting the judgment of the fire department, which can explain Huanghuang's face-slapping behavior..." Takagi scratched his head.
Takagi's words and Saito Hiroshi's worries are not without reason. After all, in this kind of situation, even if your original intention is to find out the truth, it will be seen as a slap in the face by others.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Metropolitan Police Department. After all, conflicts and even feuds may arise due to disagreements in a case.
Not to mention different departments of the same government. If you dare to question their orders, they will definitely put crazy pressure on the higher authorities to express their protest.
Even if the result is wrong, they will never admit it unless you put the evidence in front of them.
In this case, even though it is just an investigation into a case, it will definitely cause protests from the other party.
"These are not your concerns." Tang Ze looked at Saito Hiroshi and said, "Go ahead and investigate. Leave the rest to me."
"I see."
Saito Hiroshi nodded. "Then without further delay, I'll go prepare the collection tools immediately. This time I want to expand the scope of my investigation."
"It's getting late, let's eat first."
Tang Ze checked his watch and headed for the restaurant. "After dinner, let's go to the crime scene again. Since we're expanding the scope, it's going to be quite a bit of work. I don't want to work on an empty stomach."
"That's right." Saito Hiroshi nodded, and the three of them walked towards the restaurant.
After ordering a classic curry pork cutlet rice, Tang Ze savored this "classic" dish while looking at Gao Mu and said, "Don't go there later. Go to Detective Yumio and see if he can help you.
After all, we belong to two different departments now. Saito Hiroshi is my subordinate and I can help him withstand the pressure.
But you might implicate Inspector Megure, and you won't be able to help with collecting evidence, so you should go help Detective Yumachi."
At this point, Karasawa nudged Takagi and gave a narrow smile: "And I can also work with Detective Sato, killing two birds with one stone."
"I, I don't have that idea!"
Takagi was a little disappointed when he heard what Tang Ze said. He felt that he was a drag. He had planned to show his loyalty and was just waiting for Tang Ze's order to "disobey".
Who knew that he would be excluded, which made him feel a little regretful.
"Well, we're all here to solve the case." Tang Ze patted Gao Mu's shoulder and said, "If you have any new information, remember to contact me anytime."
"I understand." Gao Mu nodded repeatedly.
After finishing their meal, Tang Ze and Saito Hiroshi went directly to the crime scene without taking a rest.
It is noon now, which is lunch time. The people from the fire department are most likely taking a lunch break. Tang Ze and his friends went there at this time to see if they could avoid a meeting between the two parties.
It is best to avoid the meeting, collect what needs to be collected quietly, and then slip away quietly. This is the best option.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if the two departments quarreled over face at the crime scene.
I drove back to the crime scene. Apart from the cordon, there was no one left in the place that had been burned to ruins.
Even the district patrol officers would not be on duty in such places continuously. At most, they would just come to patrol on time.
Entering a room as dark as a coal mine, Tang Ze looked at Saito Hiroshi and said, "Tell me, how much material do you plan to take?"
"We need everything from this side of the living room." Saito Hiroshi handed Tang Ze a tape measure and walked to the other end. "It's about 3750mm. We need to collect materials from the floor at certain intervals."
"Hey, this is a big project." Tang Ze looked at the distance between them and said with a headache: "Can we collect samples every 50 centimeters?"
"That distance won't work, because I'm planning to draw a distribution map of the spilled lamp oil." Saito Hiroshi shook his head and rejected this idea: "Every 10 centimeters... No, let's say 5 centimeters!"
"Hey, do you know what you're talking about?"
Tang Ze said with a headache: "If I had known it would be such a heavy workload, I should have called more people over.
The distance is 375 cm, and if you take it every 5 cm, that would be 75 times.
You really are good at ordering your boss around."
"Stop talking nonsense. When you ordered me around on the previous case, you didn't care how much I had to work on. Besides, you only collected the data, but I was still the one doing the analysis."
