Chapter 1574 On-site Investigation
  As Xiangyue City walked toward the middle of the suspension bridge, a strong wind suddenly blew in the mountains.

The hat that Sayoko was wearing was blown off by the strong wind, and in the photo, she subconsciously leaned forward again to grab the hat.

But she ignored the environment she was in. Half of her body was already outside and she leaned forward again. Her whole body was off the ground and lost her balance. When the wind blew her whole body, she fell.

I immediately called to request rescue, but by the time the local situation and the rescue team arrived at the scene, he was already dead.
  "I didn't kill Sayoko, it was an accident!"

After recounting the events and consequences of that day, Xiang Yuecheng looked at Tang Ze with a sincere expression on his face: "I did not kill her, and I think the only one who can prove this is you, Tang Ze Criminal."

Having said this, Xiangyue Chengyi lowered his head and said, "Please, please."

"I already know the situation. I will conduct a comprehensive investigation of the evidence in the case before the public trial."

Tang Ze looked at Xiang Yuecheng and said, "But one thing I want to make clear in advance is that all my investigations will follow the evidence.

Even if the results of my investigation and appraisal go against Mr. Xiangyue's original intention, I will still submit the appraisal report in the end. "

Karasawa's words made Yamazaki Tomei's expression slightly change, but Xiangzuki Joichi on the other side of the room was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"Sure enough, leaving it to you is the right choice."

Xiangyue Chengyi looked at Tang Ze with a smile and said seriously: "No matter what it is, as long as it is relevant, let's say it fairly.

This is the spirit that judgment should have. "

"It's a good realization. You really deserve to be a well-known lawyer."

Koshizui Nanatsuki said with admiration in his eyes: "I now somewhat believe that you are innocent. Leave the follow-up investigation to us."

"Please." Xiangyue Chengyi smiled slightly, nodded and looked at each other with Yamazaki Tomei, and then said goodbye to the three of them and left.

After that, Tomei Yamazaki stayed directly in Kyoto to prepare for the court session, while Karasawa and Nanatsuki Koshimizu took the car back to Tokyo.

"Senior, I've got the newspaper you wanted."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki handed one of the newspapers to Karasawa and pointed at one with interest: "Read this report."

"The murdered Xiao Yezi was the rich daughter of the consortium, and the reason why his firm was able to open was all because of the support of her mother's family."

After reading the newspaper, Tang Ze said: "No wonder the criminals in Kyoto have such an attitude.

In the absence of other suspects, Ms. Sayoko's death is most beneficial to lawyer Xiangyue. "

"Yes, and the motivation is not small."

Nanatsuki Koshizui held up another newspaper and said, "Look at this, although Lawyer Xiangyue is quite active on TV, her law firm's operations are running at deficits, and she owes quite a lot of debt."

"There are also remarks that the couple is not on good terms, and the woman revealed that she has made up her mind to divorce."

Tangze said: "If the divorce really happens, Lawyer Xiangyue will not only lose her firm and house, but she will also have to bear a huge amount of debt."

"In other words, in order to avoid the loss of these interests, killing Sayoko has become the best way." Tangze said.

"The motivation is sufficient."

Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "In fact, he was indeed the biggest beneficiary of his wife's death.

If this information is true, it is no wonder that Kyoto has identified lawyer Xiangyue as the murderer. "

"Even so, we must view this information objectively during the investigation."

Tangze said: "Follow-up work must be carried out scientifically."

"Understood. Then when the evidence is sent from Kyoto tomorrow, we can start the investigation."

Speaking of Koshimizu Nanatsuki, she looked eager to try it out. It was obvious that there had been no challenging cases for her to handle in recent times, so she couldn't hold it in any longer.

Of course, no matter how eager you are to try, there is definitely no possibility of taking any action today.

Because the evidence from Kyoto has not been handed over yet, even if you want to investigate, it is impossible.

It was night after the two returned to Tokyo. Karasawa randomly found a ramen shop nearby and filled the five-organ temple before going home.

Early the next morning, boxes of evidence were brought over by Tomi Yamazaki and a scientific researcher from Kyoto.

Obviously, this lawyer was afraid that Kyoto would delay the handover of the evidence, so he personally urged Kyoto Science and Technology to hand over the evidence as soon as possible.

After the other party said goodbye, Tang Ze gathered people to start sorting out the distribution of physical evidence and summarizing the intelligence.

Fingerprint and footprint investigation reports.

There is also a CD card that was originally a video recording wild birds, but accidentally recorded the scene of the crime.

In addition, there were also the clothes worn by the defendant on the day of the incident, with the buttons on them falling off.

After reading the records, Karasawa found that the Kyoto forensic examiner's judgment was that the victim Sayoko grabbed the defendant Xiangzuki Joichi's clothes at that time, which caused the second button of the defendant's clothes to fall off.

This is also an extremely unfavorable piece of evidence against Xiangyue Chengyi.

In addition, according to the judicial autopsy records issued by the local government, Karasawa confirmed Aso after reading the autopsy report.

There were also blood samples and skin fragments found in the nail of the index finger on the victim's right hand.

According to the investigation in Kyoto, this DNA is consistent with the defendant Xiangzuki Joichi.

"That is to say, the victim was injured when he caught the defendant."

Hearing this, Koshimi Nanatsuki muttered: "It's no wonder that Yamazaki said that the Kyoto police's evidence was all investigated in the direction that lawyer Xiangzuki was the murderer.

Judging from the evidence collected at the scene, it is indeed correct that these evidences point to Lawyer Xiangyue as the murderer. "

"However, Kyoto has not launched an investigation in the direction of "Xiangzuki Joichi is not the murderer." This is why Ms. Yamazaki thinks it is unfair."

Tangze said: "That's why she entrusted us."

"But looking at the current evidence, our investigation may unconsciously be biased towards the direction that the other party is the murderer."

Koshizui Nanatsuki said and handed the photo in his hand to Karasawa: "This is the photo on lawyer Xiangyue's arm when he was detained. There are several long scratches on it.

Combined with the fact that the button on Lawyer Xiangzuki's chest fell off that day, at least Ms. Sayoko and Lawyer Xiangzuki had a dispute on the mountain. "

"It seems like this is the most likely possibility, but our job is to find out all the possibilities, or eliminate factors, and determine that there is only one possibility."

As Tang Ze spoke, he rummaged through the cardboard box and quickly found a stack of photos: "This is a photo from the surveillance camera of Shuiyueshan (fictional). The shooting time was exactly 3 p.m. on the day of the crime."

"That's this photo!" Nanatsuki Koshizui looked at the photo in Karasawa's hand and said, "When the news media reported it at that time, they all used this photo."

The entire photo was taken from an elevation angle, making it look like it was diagonally below the bridge. Perhaps because of the distance, both the suspension bridge and the human figures were as small and blurry as beans.

Tangze continued to flip through the next photo. Compared to the previous one, this one enlarged the scene on the suspension bridge, but the picture was still blurry.

However, what happened in the photo can still be clearly seen. It seems that a person is about to fall from the suspension bridge, while another person is extending his hand not far away, as if he has made a push and has not yet withdrawn.

"No matter how you look at it, this is irrefutable evidence." Koshimizu Nanatsuki saw this and said: "Sure enough, the Kyoto government did not convict him casually."

"With the evidence collected solely from the Kyoto Police Department, no matter how much we investigate, I'm afraid the finger will eventually point to Xiangzuki Joichi."

Tang Ze said this: "Let's go to the crime scene."

"Are you going to Kyoto?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki heard this and said with a smile: "Our investigation this time was really difficult."

Of course, even after saying this, Koshisui Nanatsuki still didn't refuse. After all, he finally encountered a case, and he still entrusted them with scientific research to investigate and identify it.

It can be said that they are responsible for this case. This situation is very rare, and Koshimi Nanatsuki is naturally unwilling to let it go.

After Tang Ze arranged the work, he took the identification tools and the Seven Ghosts of the Moon and set off for Shuiyue Mountain.

——Driving away——

"It feels cool. It's really a bit cold in the Tianshan Mountains today."

After climbing all the way to the suspension bridge, feeling the surrounding wind blowing on his face, Koshimi Nanatsuki couldn't help but say.

"Let's go, the suspension bridge is just ahead."

Tang Ze took the lead and stepped onto the suspension bridge, with the sound of wooden boards and shoe soles clashing under his feet.

This suspension bridge looks a bit old, and the bridge deck made of hardwood boards looks worn out.

After the two went up, they went straight to the middle of the suspension bridge, which was also the place where Sayoko fell.

The two of them inspected it separately, and then discovered that there was a very new hole in the wooden handrail.

It looks like a piece of wood has been chipped from the bottom up.

The outermost end of the armrest also has some traces of the surface being chipped away.

"The opening on this bridge is quite new." Karasawa looked at the forensic report: "But there is no record of this in Kyoto."

"After all, there were many people coming and going here before the crime occurred. Maybe it was some naughty child who did it."

Hearing this, Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "Of course, it is possible that it was only after the case occurred, so there is no record."

"According to the Kyoto Criminal Investigation, as soon as Xiangzuki arrived in the middle of the suspension bridge, he rushed over and prepared to push the victim down."

Karasawa stood on the bridge and simulated: "At this time, the victim Sayoko, who was struggling and resisting, scratched Xiangzuki Joichi's arm with her nails.

As a result, the second button of Xiang Yuecheng's clothes also fell off.

Then, Xiangyue Chengyi suppressed the deceased, pushed him directly down the mountain, and fell to death. "

"It's indeed a bit strange."

After the simulation ended, Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked puzzled: "There is no record of button recovery in the record, nor is there any relevant search record.

Could it be that the buttons also fell down? "

Hearing this, Tang Ze glanced at the boulders and streams below, and felt that this was indeed a possibility, "Ignore this for now, let's go to the pavilion next to it.

When we met with Xiangzuki Joichi, he said that he was resting in that place. "

Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded when he heard this, and the two of them walked from the suspension bridge to the resting pavilion, and placed their backpacks on the table of the pavilion.

"No, there is almost no sampling record of any footprints."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the information in his hand and then looked at the ground: "I'm afraid I thought it was an accident at the time, so the people from the rescue team arrived and trampled the ground into chaos.

If the crime scene could be preserved at that time, it could still be investigated clearly afterwards. "

"It's a pity that most people wouldn't think of it." Tang Ze said: "After all, Xiangyue City has said from the beginning that his wife fell. Everyone would think it was an accident."

"That's right." Koshizui Nanatsuki nodded, then looked at the sign behind Karasawa, then stretched out his hand to signal: "Senior, do you think this sign on the top of the mountain is a bit strange?"

"It seems the direction is wrong."

After Tangze glanced at the content of "0.5-meter top of the mountain" on the sign, he then compared it with the road on the mountain, and immediately turned the sign in the wrong direction: "This is the correct direction."

But as soon as Tang Ze let go, he felt some debris on his hands.

"Just in case, let's save it." Koshimizu Nanatsuki, who was squatting next to Karasawa, also saw the crumbs of the brand stained in Karasawa's hands and said.

As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the pavilion next to her.

When Koshimi Nanatsuki stood up, his shoes kicked away some soil and gravel, revealing a little trace of light yellow.

Karasawa put on his gloves and peeled away the soil, and then he saw the true nature of the color.

Buttons, and the style is the same as the buttons on the coat worn by Xiang Yuecheng on the day of the incident.

The button is found here, and its significance is too great.

"Senior, is this the second button on Xiangyue Chengyi's coat?"

At this moment, Yueshui Qigui walked over and was shocked when he saw the button in Tangze's hand: "Where did you find this?"

"Thanks to you, it's right under your feet." Tang Ze said with a smile: "When you stood up just now, the reaction force pushed away a little soil, and then I saw this button."

"This is key evidence." Koshizui Nanatsuki said and handed the evidence bag to Karasawa. He ran back to the pavilion again to get an evidence bag and a camera to take photos as evidence.

After discovering this key evidence, both of them looked excited and searched around again.

But unfortunately, there were really no clues this time. The two discussed it and finally decided to go down the mountain to the suspension bridge to see if there were any clues where Sayoko fell.

"The victim seems to have been dropped in this area, but nothing seems to be left." After a search, Koshimizu Nanatsuki said.

"The surveillance camera seems to have taken the picture here." Tang Zebi checked the photo and said, "Come and help me measure the correct location."

Just as Koshimizu Nanatsuki answered, the next moment a huge siren suddenly sounded throughout the mountain.
