In the luxurious study, a handsome uncle with gray hair collapsed on a chaise longue in a nightgown.

There were no bloody wounds, no horrible expressions, just calm, serene expressions as if they were asleep, not dead.

After receiving the report, Tang Ze and others rushed to the scene and saw such a scene.

Compared with the tragic deaths of various previous homicide cases, the other party's death can really be regarded as the serene number one in the row.

According to the investigation, the deceased's name was Takaki Murakami, fifty-three years old, a well-known love writer.

The chair on which the deceased was lying was not facing the desk, but was turned ninety degrees to the left, with his right arm hanging over the desk.

It is worth noting that the index finger of the opponent's right hand seems to be injured, so there is a thick bandage tied on it.

Next to the desk on the right hand, there is also a light book called "The Heartbeat Reasoning of the Daughter and the Famous Criminal".

Well, this name is light, and the publishing house is nothing else, it is Tang Ze's publishing house.

Now it has been renamed Tang Aya Publishing House, in addition to being responsible for Tang Ze's publishing, under Tang Ze's decision, it has begun to involve in the light field.

Only he knew how broad the future of light was and happened to have sufficient funds, so Tang Ze asked the president of the Tool Society to absorb some excellent writers and give them richer returns than in the industry.

At the same time, a sum of money has been set aside for publishing houses to set up mechanisms to assist talented new writers through the difficult period of poverty.

Because this age is still relatively out-of-the-way, such a good treatment has attracted many excellent writers to create at once.

And the lightness of this "Heartbeat Reasoning of the Daughter and the Famous Criminal" is a work that has been well received and occupies the top spot in the girl's manga list.

I heard that the writer is still a female high school student, but the other party is still in school, and he has never missed his face, maintaining a sense of mystery.

And the inspiration for his creation was accidentally obtained after hearing the chairman of the publishing house inadvertently mention the matter of Karasawa and Ayako.

Emmm… It still feels a little weird to be written into the book as a prototype, but after all, it's his own people, so when the president asked him for advice, Tang Ze asked Ayako and readily agreed.

Not much to say.

The first discoverer was the housewife who was in charge of his daily life, and when he came to make breakfast for Takaki Murakami at 8 o'clock this morning, he found the body of Takaki Murakami, so he reported the crime.

After an examination by the on-site identification officer, it was found that there were no obvious external injuries on the deceased's body, although there was no further dissection and could not be judged.

However, if you look at the superficial appearance of the corpse, it may be a simple death caused by carbon monoxide poisoning.

The study is still very closed overall, and the stove is also old, and there is no device installed to prevent incomplete combustion.

If there is a problem with ventilation, it is very likely that you will be cool if you go to sleep directly like this.

"And how was it last night?"

Tang Ze held a notebook with Miwako Sato and asked about Yamaden's condition last night, "Is there anything worth caring about?" ”

"No, I went home at eight o'clock last night after I finished Murakami Sensei and my agent, Shibakusa Mitsuko, after I finished dinner at seven o'clock last night."

Shan Tian Zyko is probably in his forties, and it seems that he has not yet recovered from the shadow of the discovery of the corpse, and when he heard Tang Ze's question, he clutched his chest and shook his head again and again:

"Nothing out of the ordinary happened, everything was business as usual."

"Ah, by the way, about that salvation stove."

Yamaden seemed to remember something, and said, "Mr. Murakami hates turning on the air conditioner, so every year when it's cold, he uses an old stove for heating.

So yesterday, when the weather suddenly turned cold and the teacher said that I should use the stove, I also made a special effort to check the ventilation problem.

"That's so, thank you."

didn't get much useful information, Tang Ze didn't have much discouragement, nodded and thanked him, and then immediately went to Takagi's side.

And they also happened to finish taking notes for Shinji Yanauchi, the editor of the deceased.

"How's it going, did you find anything?"

Tang Ze handed the transcript to Officer Takagi and asked, "I didn't gain anything here, at most I knew that the deceased didn't like to turn on the air conditioner, so he used the heater." ”

"If you use the stove a lot, you can rule out the possibility of him killing him." Tang Ze speculated when he heard this.

If the stove is not used often, it may be that the prisoner induces the other party to use the stove in order to kill the other party, but if it is his own habit, then the possibility of accidents increases.

"I don't have much to gain here."

Flipping through the small notebook where the transcript was made, Takagi sighed and said, "According to the inquiry, we learned that the editor and the teacher have been in charge for ten years, and the relationship between the two is very good, and there have been no troubles recently.

In recent years, his books have also been among the best in their genre, and they have always maintained the top position on the best-seller list, so it can be said that Yanauchi editors need to maintain good relations.

In addition, there is no one who resents him. ”

Hearing this, Tang Ze nodded, if the results are good, then the editor is indeed the one with the least motive to kill, because many times success can cover up a lot of things.

For example, in the arena, victory can mask the contradictions between many team members, because the interests of both parties are the same.

Of course, if Takaki Murakami abandons Yanauchi editor, it is not impossible for the other party to impulsively kill people when he is excited.

Therefore, the testimony of witnesses is only one aspect, and it may be adulterated due to various factors, so it is necessary to verify them one by one to determine the accuracy of the other party's words.

"As for the verification of the testimony of the two people, please leave it to the two of you." Tang Ze looked at Miwako Sato and Takagi and explained.

"No problem, leave it to us."

Hearing that he was going to act with the goddess next, Takagi couldn't help but frown, and just as he beckoned Miwako Sato to go outside, Chiba on the side led a lady wearing glasses over.

"Karasawa Criminal, this is Takaki Murakami's agent, Shibakusa Mitsuko." Chiba stretched out his hand and introduced.

"Hello." The beauty, who looked to be about thirty years old, had long hair, and had an intellectual temperament, bowed slightly and greeted Tang Ze.

"Hello." Tang Ze glanced at her, then bowed slightly in return, and then stretched out his hand to the sofa, "Please make a special trip, please sit." ”

When the two sides were seated, Tang Ze did not have the slightest intention of being polite, and immediately went straight to the topic.

"So, I'll get straight to the point."

Tang Ze looked at the other party and said, "May I ask Miss Shibakusa, as Mr. Murakami's agent, what kind of work are you usually responsible for." ”

"A lot, as an agent, I am basically responsible for everything from life to work.

However, Miss Yamatan, who lives as a housewife, is more responsible, and I am mainly responsible for the work arrangement of Mr. Murakami. ”

Shibakusa Mitsuko thought for an example and said, "For example, a reservation for an interview, or a ticket when you are going out to collect materials.

Or if the TV station wants to make an adaptation into a TV series, occasionally the discussion is too late, and if Miss Yamaden comes home too late, she will make a supper for the teacher. ”

"Then may I ask Miss Shibacao, where were you last night?"

"After having dinner with Mr. Murakami last night, I went home around 10 o'clock."

"I was reading a book." Chai Cao thought for a while and said, "But the teacher's right hand is injured, and it's a bit hard to turn the book." ”

Tang Ze nodded when he heard that the other party was still awake reading a book when the firewood grass left, and then changed the topic and asked, "Then how is the family situation of Mr. Murakami?" ”

"About this..."

Shibakusa Mitsuko curled her index finger in her hair, and said with a slightly distressed expression: "Although it is not convincing from my mouth, but because of me, the two divorced five years ago, and in addition to this, there is a daughter in the middle of the country. ”

"So you're lovers..."

"No, no, how could it not be!!"

Hearing this, Shibakusa Mitsuko waved her hand again and again to veto: "I have a simple teacher-student relationship with Mr. Murakami, I respect Mr. Murakami very much, and there is no other behavior that is out of line!" ”

"Then why do you say that Mrs. Murakami will divorce Mr. Murakami because of you?" Tang Ze looked at the other party and asked curiously.

"Probably because of jealousy..."Shibakusa Mitsuko spread her hands and said helplessly: "Because I have never been married, and I stay by the teacher's side, it has aroused the suspicion of the teacher's mother, and she has said that she will kick me out."

But Mr. Murakami felt that the teacher was unreasonable, and had a big quarrel with the teacher, and finally broke up unhappily.

Obviously, I said that I like women, but jealousy makes her unwilling to believe it..."

"Huh? You..."

Hearing that the other party said such powerful words as if nothing happened, even Tang Ze couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, that's right."

Shibakusa Mitsuko nodded calmly: "The reason why I tell you so honestly is because I think you will investigate whether I and Murakami-sensei have a conflict because of emotional entanglements."

Since you have to investigate sooner or later, why don't I tell you calmly, it will save you a lot of trouble, right? And it's enough to prove that I have a clear conscience and have absolutely no emotional entanglement with Mr. Murakami. ”

"That's true." Tang Ze nodded and thanked him: "Thank you very much for your honesty and cooperation. ”

"You're welcome, so is there anything else to ask?" Shibakusa Mitsuko asked with a smile.

"I don't know what Mr. Murakami was doing when you left, Miss Shibacao?"

"You just mentioned the teacher-student relationship, right?"

Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "In other words, although you are Mr. Murakami's agent, you are also a disciple of Mr. Murakami?" ”

"That's right, because Mr. Murakami was someone I admired in high school."

Shibakusa Mitsuko said this, and the adoration in her eyes was undisguised, "So later on, while I became Murakami's agent, I also insisted on writing, hoping that one day everyone will be able to read my work." ”

"If you don't mind, can you let me read it?" Tang Ze smiled and said, "My girlfriend has a publishing house under her name, and if the work is good, I will recommend it to the president." ”

Of course, the premise is that the case is solved and the other party is not the murderer.

At that time, Tang Ze didn't mind helping the publishing house bring another writer over.

And many cases are not very "literate", clues are often hidden in them, after Tang Ze heard the other party's words, in line with the idea of just in case, he asked for the other party's work.

"Really? Thank you so much! ”

Shibakusa Mitsuko's face was overjoyed when she heard Tang Ze's words, and then she immediately took out a printed manuscript from the drawer in the living room and handed it to Tang Ze and said, "If you don't mind, please read it, whether it satisfies you or not, please be sure to talk about your feelings when the time comes." ”

"I'll be sure to read it."

Tang Ze took the manuscript and bowed slightly and thanked: "Then thank you for your cooperation." ”

………..

Search Headquarters.

In general, when a homicide is encountered and is not resolved on the spot at the scene of the crime, a search headquarters will be set up to investigate.

At this moment, in the conference hall, Uncle Dengmi, dressed in the costume of the forensic class, pointed to the deceased who fell on the recliner on the projector and said: "As expected, the deceased Takaki Murakami died of poisoning caused by carbon monoxide.

It's just that after the dissection, the ingredients of sleeping pills were detected in our victims' bodies. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a commotion in the audience to listen to the criminal offense.

"Well... If you take sleeping pills in a closed room with the stove on, does it mean that there is a half chance of suicide and half of homicide? ”

Officer Twilight, who was sitting in the front of the criminal leader, touched his chin and groaned.

"Hi Hi!! I have an objection!! ”

Suddenly, a female voice suddenly sounded, and I saw Yumi Miyamoto suddenly stand up with her hands raised and said in an excited tone: "Mr. Murakami has published a total of 4 works in the past three years!"

Among them, there are 480,000 "Flowing Xiaodun Canal"! "Lovers in July" 700,000 copies!

The latest work "Childish Love" was nominated for the Scarlet Moon Literature Award, which means that..."

"I see!"

Seeing Yumi Miyamoto's excited appearance, Officer Twilight hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal the other party to calm down, "I already understand that I can't see the motive for suicide, but why are you here?" ”

"Uh..."

When Yumi Miyamoto heard Officer Twilight's question, her face instantly froze, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to explain it.

She can't say that after learning that the deceased was the Murakami teacher she admired, she begged Miwako Sato to take her to the search headquarters with a dead face, and sneaked in after being refused.

It's going to kill people, isn't it!!

And just when she was confused, Yumi Miyamoto saw Tang Ze sitting in the twilight police officer, and cast a pitiful, weak and helpless look for help - save the child!!

"I asked Minister Miyamoto to come here."

Tang Ze smiled when he saw this, and took the initiative to speak: "Minister Miyamoto is a loyal fan of the deceased, and there are many deeds that are more accurate than the information we have gathered, so I simply asked her to popularize the life deeds of the deceased for us." ”

"That's it!"

Yumi Miyamoto, who was still weak before, heard Tang Ze's words, and immediately held her head high, "I've been reading Murakami-sensei's books since I was a girl, just ask me if there's any news!" Definitely more reliable than the intelligence gathered!! ”

Tang Ze, who looked at it with a changed face, was amused for a while, he really gasped when he was fat, and he was really bluffing.
