Detectives of Detective World

Dinner was cooked by Ayako, the traditional neon cuisine she is best at.

Fried shrimp tempura, beef with mixed vegetables, tomato-boiled mackerel cubes, white mushroom cream vegetable soup, and pickled side dishes.

Three dishes and one soup with a small pickle, including meat, vegetables and seafood, are undoubtedly a luxury for two people.

After filling his hungry stomach with these dishes, Karasawa sat down on the sofa with satisfaction.

"Let me take a rest first, and then I'll go wash the dishes."

Looking at Ayako clearing away the dishes, Karasawa quickly shouted, telling her not to wash the dishes.

After all, the other party has already cooked, so naturally he has to clean up the bowls and chopsticks.

Although it doesn't matter who does the dishes, division of labor can also make the relationship run better.

"No, you felt very tired when you came back today. I'll just wash the dishes."

Hearing Karasawa's words, Ayako refused with a smile: "I happen to have a lot of free time this afternoon, so it's not too tiring to wash the dishes."

"Is it that obvious?" Tang Ze touched his face and asked, "Does it mean that I look bad?"

"That's not true, it's just that when you think about a problem, your brows will wrinkle slightly."

Ayako smiled and said, "When I was eating today, I saw you frowning all the time, and you were a little dazed from time to time as if you were thinking."

"You've become a detective too."

Tangze smiled helplessly when he heard this: "Well, I do have questions about the case to think about.

I always feel like I'm missing something, but I don't realize what the problem is. "

"I'm just too familiar with how you look at work."

Ayako smiled and said, "Then if you don't remember it later, why don't you talk to me?

Maybe as you were talking, you suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of what you had overlooked? "

"OK."

Hearing this, Tang Ze smiled and agreed: "I just want to review the case and rearrange it. You should also listen to it. Maybe you can give me some additional inspiration."

"I don't have that much ability."

Hearing this, Ayako walked into the kitchen carrying a dinner plate: "All I can do is listen to you talk about the case. Don't raise too much hope for enlightenment or anything like that."

"It doesn't matter." Karasawa smiled and said, "It's enough if you can listen."

It's a blessing to have someone listen to what you have to say.

So Karasawa gave up thinking for the time being. After Ayako finished washing the dishes, he pulled her to sit on the sofa. Karasawa began to tell the story from the beginning of the case.

"The old lady is so pitiful..."

After listening to Karasawa's retelling, Ayako lamented: "Obviously I have two children, but my life is not happy at all.

He even had to place his feelings on the cat.

And because of the cat-raising thing, he was hated by the neighbors and became a weirdo in the eyes of the neighbors.

Perhaps the only consolation was that the two cats she had devoted her affection to did not let her down. "

Speaking of this, Ayako couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I know that cats can protect their owners in this way. I have the impression that cats are very cold."

"This is my first time seeing you too."

Tangze nodded when he heard this: "But all things are animistic. I guess it is because of the old lady's careful care, so when she is threatened, the central protector is there."

"But speaking of it, humans and cats are both so fragile."

Ayako lamented: "Cat-scratch disease occurs when people are scratched by cats, and when a cat is injured and contaminated with human blood, the wound will become suppurative."

This was originally just an ordinary sigh, and Karasawa knew what Ayako said.

But this time, the moment he heard Ayako's words, a thunderbolt flashed across Karasawa's mind, clearing away all the fog that had been lingering in his mind!

The prisoner's blood entered the cat's wound, indicating that the prisoner seemed to have been scratched by the cat.

Blood contamination caused the cat's wound to suppurate...

In this case, the prisoner should be like Shusaka Tachibana, suffering from cat-scratch disease.

This should have been a problem that he had been aware of for a long time, but because Shusaka Tachibana's previous illness interfered with Karasawa's thinking, he put his suspicion on the other party.

It wasn't until the other party denied this, Shusaka Yamaken's suspicion was eliminated, and the possibility of a third suspect emerged, that Karasawa analyzed the case from a more objective perspective.

And before, I was vaguely aware of what I had overlooked, which was the subconscious correction of my misunderstanding.

To put it simply, he had previously believed that there was a high chance that the cat-scratch disease was the culprit.

Then the suspicion was placed on Shusaka Tachibana. After he realized that there might be a third person, he failed to pin the clue of cat-scratch disease on the prisoner.

But now that the logic is harmonious, the direction of reasoning and investigation has become clearer.

Then what he has to do next is very simple.

That is to provide tangible evidence to prove that everything he conjectured is correct.

"Thank you so much."

After everything became clear, Karasawa hugged Ayako and kissed her: "You are really my lucky star!"

"Have you thought of it?"

Ayako was also slightly surprised, and then a smile appeared on her face: "That's really great."

"This is a great achievement for you."

Karasawa wanted to tell Ayako what he realized, but he didn't expect that the other party would laugh and say: "You are the authority and are confused. In fact, even without me, I guess you will realize what you ignored if you wait a little longer."

This is true. After all, Tang Ze was just confused because of the possibility of a third person suddenly appearing between the two people he originally suspected.

It is equivalent to missing a piece of information that should be added during profiling. Although it is temporarily forgotten, it will definitely not be missed after the review is completed and the logic is straightened out.

"But anyway, it was because of your words that I realized it so quickly."

Karasawa said and picked up Ayako: "Then it is necessary to reward~"

"I just had dinner!"

After being picked up, Ayako subconsciously went to Karasawa's neck, but after regaining consciousness, she struggled to get down.

But there was no way Karasawa would put her down. He locked Ayako's body with his arms and said, "It's okay. It's been half an hour since we just chatted. You can do some proper exercise~"

With Ayako, a "lazy idiot," giving in, Karasawa led her to do a set of yoga training.

Afterwards, the two of them took a shower, then found a comedy movie and watched it with gusto.

Comedy is always a must-have thing that people can't do without. After all, it can make people forget the troubles they need to face in reality and temporarily relax their minds.

Tangze is no exception to this point.

At night, everyone is spending their own time until the sun rises the next day and they start to face the work and worries before them.

However, compared to running around in the previous two days, today Karasawa came to Shusaka's mother-in-law's house again, sat quietly in the living room and waited.

Not long after, two brothers and sisters, Shusaka Yamaken and Shusaka Tachibana, came here one after another.

However, when Shusaka Yamaken saw the two stray cats lying next to Karasawa, he quickly took out a mask and put it on his face.

"Sorry, I specially asked you to take time to come here today."

Tang Ze picked up the calico cat, petted the cat and looked at the two of them and said.

"What on earth are you going to do?!" Seeing the cat Shusaka Yamaken became a little irritable and asked in a very dissatisfied tone.

"Of course it's to catch the criminal."

Tangze showed the wound on the cat's body and said, "We extracted human blood from here, and it was tested to be AB type blood.

We believe that after the prisoner was scratched by the cat, he attacked the cat with his bloody hands or feet, and then allowed the blood to contaminate the wound.

In other words, anyone with type AB blood is a prisoner! "

"AB?"

Shusaka Yamatake was shocked when he heard Karasawa's words. He subconsciously looked at his sister with disbelief on his face: "I am type A, Tachibana, I remember you..."

After all, all this information is consistent with his sister, who even came out of the hospital because of cat-scratch disease.

The evidence before him now makes it difficult for Shusaka Yamaken to accept: "You killed..."

"It's not me!!" Shusaka Tachibana said excitedly: "I didn't kill my mother..."

"This is your DNA test report."

Before Shusaka Tachibana could reply, Karasawa directly took out the identification certificate: "Although you and the prisoner have the same blood type, their DNA is not consistent.

In other words, on the day of the crime, besides you, a second person entered the room. "

"Then who killed my mother!" Shusaka Tachibana said excitedly.

"When the murder was committed, the prisoner was also injured."

Tangze said: "I originally thought it was you, but when the result appeared, I realized that there was a third person here.

This prisoner has something in common with the two of you.

It is precisely because of this that we initially focused our investigation on you on the surface. "

Allergy medication, cat scratches, even the same blood type.

The characteristics unique to these suspects are shared by the Shusaka brothers and sisters.

It was precisely because of this that Tangze's brain short-circuited for a moment.

Even though he is now a top detective, humans are not like meticulous machines that can maintain peak performance at all times.

Obviously, his brain was in a bad state yesterday, which prevented him from processing information smoothly.

Of course, even in a low state, the level is still there, so I delayed it for a while, changed my mood when I got home, and saw the truth of the case.

"Who is it?" Shusakayama Ken asked anxiously, "Who killed my mother so cruelly!"

"Koshikoshi." Karasawa called out the door, "Invite Mrs. Takecho here."

"Here we come." Koshimizu Nanatsuki responded and led Mrs. Takenaga over from the yard.

"What's wrong with you calling me?"

Mrs. Takenaga looked at everyone with confusion on their faces. Then she looked at Shusaka Tachibana and said, "Ah, she was here on the day the old lady died. Do you want me to identify her?"

"No, we are looking for you, Mrs. Takenaga."

Karasawa stood up and walked towards Mrs. Takenaga and said, "You killed Mother-in-law Shusaka, right?"

"What are you talking about?!" Upon hearing Karasawa's words, Mrs. Takenaga's expression changed and she turned around to leave, but was stopped by Koshimizu Nanatsuki with a step.

"It's useless to deny it, we've already found out."

Tang Ze took out the medicine in the evidence bag: "Is this medicine yours?

This is a common allergy medication used to treat hay fever and asthma, as well as hives caused by cat hair.

We found this box of medicine in the den of the tabby cat Mrs. Shusaka raised, and we speculated that he picked it up from the crime scene. "

When Mrs. Takenaga first met, she mentioned that she was allergic to cats, so it was normal for her to take the same anti-allergic medicine as Shusaka Yamaken.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

When Mrs. Takenaga heard what Karasawa said, she said sternly: "That medicine is very common. Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that the cat got it from me!?"

"There are fingerprints on the medicine box. We just need to identify it later." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said calmly.

"What does that mean? I also said that the cat came to my garden and stole the medicine I put on the table!"

At this moment, Mrs. Takeuchi used the natural skills of a middle-aged housewife, and started to mess around with an attitude of not being afraid of boiling water.

"Of course I can't explain anything, but after investigating the Shusaka brothers and sisters, all

The evidence shows that the prisoner is not theirs, but the existence of this pill box also makes me start to doubt you. "

Tang Ze said: "And I investigated the hospitals nearby and confirmed that this is the medicine you prescribed. At the same time, I also got an unexpected gain."

Speaking of this, Karasawa looked at Mrs. Takenaga's feet in slippers: "You also treated your foot injury in that hospital, right?"

Sensing Tangze's gaze, Mrs. Takenaga unconsciously took two steps back, but unfortunately the gauze on her ankles was very conspicuous and there was no way to cover it up.

"I accidentally injured it!" Mrs. Takeucha said sternly, "This is swelling! It's an internal injury!"

"That's exactly what you told the doctor, but in fact you were bitten by a cat in this house, right?"

As soon as Karasawa's words came out of his mouth, Mrs. Takenaga denied it directly: "No!"

"Actually, you did something that made the cat angry or scared, and the cat attacked you."

Karasawa turned his chin and said, "Actually, Miss Shusaka Tachibana was scratched by this protective tabby cat when she was quarreling with her mother.

And you, I'm afraid it's the same situation, leading to the same result, right? "

"No! I already said no!" Faced with Karasawa's pressing steps, Mrs. Takenaga said emotionally: "You said you wanted me to assist in the investigation, but you ended up doubting me?"

"Then, how about letting me collect your blood?"

Karasawa looked at Mrs. Takenaga, who had a flash of panic, and asked with a smile: "The prisoner's blood is left on the cat's wound. You can know the result just by comparing it."

But the other party ignored Tang Ze, and instead turned around with a cold face and walked away unnaturally.

Looking at Mrs. Takenaga who refused to cooperate, Tang Ze looked at her back and said a few words, causing her to stop subconsciously and look at her injured right foot in horror.
