Chapter 16 The Neglected Person

"Tang Zejun, have you discovered anything?"

"No, although this house is not big, it is very messy. It may be difficult to find clues."

In the deceased's room, Karasawa couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Sato Miwako's words.

At this moment, the two of them had returned to the crime scene to investigate again, but still found nothing.

"I think we need to sit down and sort out the current situation." Tangze frowned and said, "This kind of investigation without a target is too lucky."

Tangze is a relatively methodical person in his work. To describe it further, he is deeply surrounded by the "boiling water law".

Use a coordinated approach to plan your itinerary. If you don't go out specifically for important things, then if you go out, you must complete more than one thing you want or need to do along the way.

Well, you can call me lazy.

In short, although investigating cases is work and needs to be completed seriously, Tangze also hopes to complete the work more reasonably and efficiently. It is absolutely not possible to waste energy blindly and without a plan.

"Let's go, there is really no good way now, so let's go to a nearby coffee shop and sort it out from scratch." Miwako Sato thought for a while and felt that Karasawa accepted the proposal.

Although the crime scene was fine, the other party's house was so messy that there was no place for the two of them to sit, let alone calm down and sort out the case from the beginning, so it was better to find a quiet place.

After driving three streets, the two found a coffee shop, ordered coffee, and began to sort out the case.

First of all, there is a motive to kill Miss Asamiya. At present, it seems that the only one is Kamikawa Tashiro.

But the other party currently has a perfect alibi, which can basically rule out the other party's suspicion.

"Since the other party's alibi is impeccable and there is no trickery, and the other party can't find a flaw at the moment, let's eliminate the line "Tashiro Kamikawa is the murderer" now."

Karasawa first eliminated this line in his notebook and wrote "Kamikawa Tashiro is not the murderer."

"You mean to find the culprit on the premise that Kawatayo is not the murderer?" Miwako Sato understood what Karasawa meant, "List all the possibilities and eliminate them one by one?"

"Well, since Kamikawa Tashiro's line is stuck, we need to change our thinking."

Karasawa nodded and said: "Now that the information and testimonies we have investigated this morning are enough to show that Miss Asamiya died in her own home, then this restriction is enough to narrow the scope."

As he spoke, Tangze began to give examples one by one in his notebook.

The first is the landlord, who is familiar with Miss Asamiya and may have a spare key to the other party's room, so he has conditions to enter the room.

But the other party went back to the room after saying hello. The owner of the vegetable shop testified, so it was ruled out.

Then there is the first discoverer, Ryoka Hasegawa. The two are drinking buddies, so it is easier to enter each other's room, but a motive is needed to commit a crime, and currently there is not one.

"This is a place that needs investigation." Sato Miwako nodded, "Is there anything else?"

"Uh..." Tang Ze stopped holding the pen and said with some embarrassment: "No more..."

College students are simply strangers... They didn't even know the deceased before, let alone go to a convenience store afterward.

It was Tangze's suggestion to reorganize the case, but there was only so much information available at the moment, and it felt a bit like an anticlimax at the moment.

"Damn it, is it really a robbery and murder case?" Sato Miwako was a little discouraged, "But although the deceased's room was messy, no money was lost..." Karasawa thought for a while and wrote "the boots on the deceased's feet" in his notebook. , he always felt this was important.

"Sato Criminal, from a female perspective, do you think the boots on the deceased's feet were not taken off in time, or were they put on by the prisoner?" Karasawa asked Miwako Sato, who is also a woman.

"Well, I feel like the deceased was killed before he had time to take off his boots, and he was in the entrance hall."

"Why do you think so?" Tang Ze asked.

"First of all, those boots are very troublesome to put on." Miwako Sato said: "Don't think that the shoelaces at the bottom are just for decoration. You can put them on smoothly as long as you untie the top shoelaces.

If the boots that are as long as the knee are not loosened as a whole, even if the foot can pass through the long boot shaft, it will get stuck on the upper part, so the shoelaces need to be loosened as a whole.

It is easy to loosen the shoelaces once they are long, but if you want to tighten them, you need to tighten them a little bit.

The deceased's room was so messy. If she wanted to go into the bedroom or balcony to do something, I don't think Ms. Asamiya would take off her shoes specifically. She would probably just put on her shoes and step on them.

In the same way, if the prisoner killed the deceased, he would probably choose to leave the scene immediately instead of putting on the other person's boots. "

Speaking of this, Sato Miwako took a sip of coffee and said: "So it is unlikely that the deceased walked to the bedroom after taking off his shoes, but was killed in the entrance hall before taking off his shoes."

Karasawa couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of the sloppy room, and had to admit that what Sato Miwako said made sense.

"Shoes, why does this case only involve shoes, boots and high heels..." Such a thought flashed through Tang Ze's mind.

At this moment, the familiar light in Tang Ze's mind reappeared, but this time it was not as fleeting as last time, but flashed through Tang Ze's brain like lightning!
  "Oh!"

Karasawa stood up so violently that he even thought about spilling the coffee on the table. Fortunately, Miwako Sato on the other side reflexively held the coffee cup, looked up at Karasawa and said, "Karasawa-kun, what's wrong? Did you think of something?"

"Sorry, I was too excited." Karasawa sat down and drank the coffee in one gulp to soothe his dry tongue: "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-heeled shoes! Although she didn't show up, it doesn't mean that she has nothing to do with the case!"

"Kamikawa Tashiro's girlfriend!?"

Miwako Sato also looked like she suddenly understood when she heard this, "Yes, how could I forget her? As Tashiro Kamikawa's girlfriend, I naturally have a motive.

Moreover, Kamikawa Tashiro's room also contains the key to Miss Asamiya's room. It is not impossible for the other party to accidentally discover this key! "

"Indeed, maybe the other party discovered the key accidentally and later became aware of Miss Asamiya's existence."

Karasawa nodded and said: "Then she sneaked into Miss Asamiya's house while Tashiro went fishing with her friends yesterday."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go quickly." Miwako Sato drank the coffee in two or three sips, then stood up and left, looking very determined.

However, Miwako Sato discovered it when the two got in the car and drove a certain distance.

It seems that Tang Ze drove in the wrong direction?
