This time, my boss entrusted me with the task based on personal relationships, and when he asked me to choose an assistant, I brought her out.
Still a hard laborer, who said when he got off the bus that he could finally go out for some fresh air. "
"Hehe." Nanatsuki Koshimizu smiled foolishly and evaded the question. Tang Ze was too lazy to argue with her any further.
Since Nanatsuki Koshimizu resolved her emotional knot, her mentality is no longer as "bitter and resentful" as before. Although she is less calm, she has gained more vitality that a girl of her age should have.
As for why he was so naughty all the way this time, you can probably tell that he had been locked in a cage for too long, and he let himself go as soon as he got out.
"I didn't expect Miss Yueshui to choose this path. It's understandable."
After listening to Tang Ze's explanation, Hattori Heiji smiled and said, "But congratulations, you have a capable assistant."
"Okay, enough small talk, let's get down to business first."
Tang Ze didn't continue the small talk, but changed the subject and gave an apologetic smile to Torada Shigeji in front of him: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm the person your father entrusted to investigate Mr. Yoshiro, and I have something to ask you."
"Were you also sent by my father?"
Torada Shigeji was a little surprised when he heard what Tang Ze said, but he nodded immediately: "Ask whatever you want to ask. Anyway, this guy came to me originally and I wanted to talk about the same thing, so adding two of you won't make any difference."
"You said 'also'? Did your father hire other people to investigate the case before us?"
Hearing the information contained in the other party's words, Tang Ze's eyes flashed and the figures of Maori Kogoro and others flashed through his mind unconsciously.
Although there is no basis for this, he just has this feeling, and he is not the only one who feels this way.
"Is the client you're talking about the uncle with the mustache?" Hattori Heiji, who was standing beside him, thought the same thing and asked quickly, "His name is Maori Kogoro."
"Yes, that's Maori. I heard he's the famous detective my father hired from Tokyo."
Torada Shigeji sighed and said, "Father has always considered my brother to be his successor and he looks down on me who is obsessed with treasures.
So, in order to compensate my brother, my father spared no expense. In addition to hiring Detective Maori, he also used his connections to invite you, a famous detective, to come."
"I didn't expect that uncle would come too!" He Ye said excitedly, "I wonder if Xiaolan is here!"
"I guess they're here. Well, since they're also investigating this case, we'll run into them sooner or later. Let's get down to business."
Because of the news about Kogoro Mori and others, the previous topic was diverted again, forcing Karasawa to "take control" again and shift the topic back to the main topic.
Although he learned that Kogoro Mouri had also come and confirmed that this case was already existing, Karasawa still couldn't be happy.
Because he still has no knowledge of this case, he can only take it one step at a time and see if he can recall anything.
If all else fails, they can only rely on their own strength to solve the case. With the addition of him and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, I believe the story will be better than the original one.
"Ah, yes."
Hattori Heiji also suddenly realized the main purpose of his group's visit, so he asked, "Mr. Hanji, you were the first one to discover Mr. Yoshiro, right? What do you think about the centipede incident?"
"I was indeed the first person to discover my brother's body. As for the centipede... I did see it, too."
Torada Shigeji thought for a moment and said, "As for my opinion, honestly, I don't know why the criminal placed the centipede's corpse next to my brother's body."
"Excuse me, do you, the Torada family and the Ryuo family, have any connection with centipedes?" Tang Ze guided Torada Shigeji, asking him to think more about it and see if he could come up with some useful information.
"Well... I don't think there's any connection..." Torada Shigeji stroked his chin thoughtfully, "But during the sacrifice, I did see some centipede patterns and the like."
"Sacrifice?" Tang Ze was very sensitive to this kind of words. After all, many cases would have various historical or mysterious backgrounds, so he quickly asked, "Can you explain it in detail?"
"The sacrifices in our village are different from other sacrifices. They are not celebrated with dancing and singing. Instead, they advocate the use of force."
Torada Shigeji explained, "In addition to horseback archery performances, the men in the village will also wear armor and simulate war scenes.
Look, he is wearing that set of armor, but it is all fake, distributed by the village.
I vaguely remember seeing centipede patterns during sacrificial ceremonies."
Shigeji Torada looked at the room behind him, and everyone looked up and found that there was a set of samurai armor placed in the other person's house, and weapons such as arrows and samurai swords were placed next to it.
"Where is the pattern?"
Hattori Heiji, who was standing by, heard what Torada Shigeji said and asked hurriedly, "Is it painted on a certain part of the body?"
"If it's a dragonfly, I remember that some generals in the Warring States Period decorated it on their helmets." He Ye pondered after hearing this.
"Speaking of which, when we visited Mr. Longwei Jing, he said there was a strange accident six years ago. Someone died in the accident. Is that true?"
Seeing that this was all he could ask about the centipede pattern, Hattori Heiji changed the subject and confirmed what he had said to Ryuo Kei before, to see if he could get some additional information.
"That's true. The person who died in that strange accident was Mr. Gento Kai, the yabusa archer who had been in charge of the technical aspects of archery demonstrations until the year of his death."
