Chapter 1575 Concealment
  The sound of the alarm instantly attracted the attention of the two people, and Tang Ze quickly reacted.

"This is the dam's water release alarm," Tangze said.

"Eh? Release the water?" When Nanatsuki heard what Karasawa said, he glanced upriver in panic: "Doesn't that mean we are in danger here!?"

"Don't worry, the water is released downstream." Tang Ze looked at the time: "Hurry up and seize the time. We will go back after finishing it."

"clear."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki followed Karasawa toward the camera, and then began to measure the specific distance between the camera and the suspension bridge.

After the hard work, the two of them called it a day and drove back to Tokyo.

Passing by a highway rest area on the way, the two of them just bought some hamburgers to fill their stomachs, and then returned to Tokyo all the way.

After handing the evidence to his subordinates for analysis, Karasawa found Aso Minoru: "What's the status of the autopsy report?"

"I've seen it. The cause of death should be death from a full-body impact caused by a fall. In addition, the blood samples were also investigated and there were no traces of poisoning."

Aso said: "My judgment is consistent with that of the Kyoto medical examiner. It should be a complete death from a fall."

"What about the attachment of the skin fragments?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.

"That's it." Aso Minoru handed Koshimizu Nanatsuki a report: "The wounds on the skin are contaminated with soil and pollen."

"The soil and pollen are also from the mountains, there is nothing suspicious about them."

Aso said: “In addition, the shape of the defendant’s wounds and skin fragments must be exactly the same as the shape of the nails on the victim’s index and middle fingers.

There should be no doubt that Kagatsuki Sayoko scratched Kagatsuki Joichi. "

"I remember the interrogation record said that he confessed that he didn't know when the wound occurred."

Koshizui Nanatsuki said: "This is a bit difficult, and according to Xiangyue's lawyer's confession, he ran to the suspension bridge because he was worried about his wife's safety.

Since Ms. Sayoko fell off the cliff in the end, it means that he did not arrive at that time and there was no contact between the two.

But there were wounds on his body caused by the deceased, which sounded even more suspicious. "

"That's probably all, thank you very much." Karasawa looked at Aso and thanked him.

"You're welcome, but in addition to my duties, I did some research for you and finally found this."

Aso Minoru said and walked towards the computer to operate, while Karasawa and Koshimizu Nanatsuki were surprised when they heard the honest words on the Internet, and immediately stepped to the computer.

"When I was looking at the body, I also saw the photo of the fall." Aso said with a smile, "Then I accidentally found this website."

After Aso logged in to the website, he quickly saw photos of the suspension bridge taken from the same angle.

"Eh? Why can I see this place?" Nanatsuki Koshizu looked at the website on his computer and asked in surprise.

"This is a website created by Kyoto University's Graduate School of Research."

Aso Minoru explained: “This is a device that updates the photos taken every hour by the surveillance cameras in Suigetsu Mountain in real time.

After discovering this, I found photos from the three hours before and after the incident and another photo from the same time on another day and saved them. "

Along with Aso Minoru's operation, photos were cut to the screen in chronological order.

"Judging from the position of the surrounding water and trees, it is consistent with the angle obtained from Kyoto, which means that the photo cannot be fake." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the photo and said.

"It was originally captured by surveillance cameras. It is actually quite difficult to fake it." Tangze said.

"Then which direction should we investigate next?" Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Karasawa and asked.

"I remember there was a video of wild birds before." Tangze thought for a while and said, "Check that evidence."

"But that's just a wild bird video taken by a wild bird researcher in the mountain near the suspension bridge, right?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked curiously, "Is that considered some kind of evidence?"

"The main thing is not the picture, but the sound aspect."

After bidding farewell to Koshizu Nanatsuki, Karasawa and the others went to the Kosouyan office to find Ueno, the young researcher in charge of the work, and explained their purpose.

"I have processed all the video." Ueno said while operating, "Removing the sounds of wild birds and rivers."

A scream soon came from the played audio, and after a moment of silence, there was the sound of a human body hitting the ground.

"But this doesn't seem to mean anything. Even if it falls accidentally, there will be screams." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said: "With this alone, there shouldn't be any evidence."

"And there is time data in the video, so the correct time of the fall cannot be confirmed." Tangze glanced at the video and said.

"Are you at your wits' end?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.

"Go and take a look at the situation at the evidence inspection team." Tang Ze said, "Maybe there will be something to gain."

After the two went to the evidence inspection team to inquire, they got good news.

After careful inspection, they found some debris where the sleeves of Xiangyue Chengyi's shirt were rolled up.

"Senior, these chips are similar to the ones on the sign." Looking at the wood chips in the vial, Koshimizu Nanatsuki opened his mouth and looked at Karasawa.

"It was a wise move to bring it back just in case." Tangze couldn't help but rejoice when he said this: "Otherwise, in order to get this evidence, I'm afraid we would have to make another special trip."

"That's right." Koshimizu Nanatsuki also looked happy when he said this. He immediately rummaged through his backpack and said, "It's not too late. Let's compare it quickly."

After handing over the sawdust from the sign in the evidence bag to members of the evidence team for comparison, the result was that the composition of the chip carried in Xiang Yue Chengyi's sleeve was consistent with the composition of the sign chip brought back by Karasawa.

"It shouldn't be that we met by chance, right?" Koshizui Nanatsuki used a rhetorical question, but his tone was affirmative.

"It shouldn't be an accidental encounter, because the height of the sign is only 50 centimeters. Even if a person is close to the sleeves normally, it is impossible to touch the sign." Tangze said.

"That means that he fell or hit the sign, so there were sawdust in his rolled-up sleeves." Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Yes, that's why we turned around when we saw the sign and didn't correctly guide the road to the top of the mountain." Karasawa said.

"But that area is flat, and there are no half-sized obstacles underground. It stands to reason that you won't fall." Koshimizu Nanatsuki's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Let's match that button."

"It can basically be confirmed that the place where Xiangzuki Joichi and Sayoko argued was not at the suspension bridge, but near the sign."

When Tangze said this, he was not happy after getting evidence that could reverse the trend. Instead, his expression was serious and dignified.

Because this is inconsistent with Xiangyue Chengyi's previous testimony.

In other words, Xiangyue Chengyi was hiding something.

This behavior has a strong sense of division with his frank and sincere attitude when he asked the two people to conduct evidence appraisal.

And once a person starts to behave differently, it proves that the other person is planning something.

So Tangze planned to go to Kyoto again and ask him face to face why he concealed this matter.

"Senior, shall we set off tomorrow morning?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki asked.

"No, I'll just go by myself this time." Karasawa shook his head, and then looked at Koshizui Nanatsuki: "I have other important matters, please go and investigate." "I understand." Koshizui Nanatsuki finished listening. After Tangze entrusted her with the investigation, he nodded repeatedly.

After the two of them discussed what they had to do tomorrow, they each left work.

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Karasawa chose to take the Shinkansen to Kyoto this time and met Kozuki Joichi again.

"I'm curious, what do ordinary lawyers do when their client lies?"

After greeting each other through the glass of the reception room, Tangze looked at Xiangyue Cheng Yiruo and said straight to the point: "You said that while you were resting in the pavilion at one end of the suspension bridge, your wife went to the middle of the suspension bridge by herself.

Then his hat was blown away by the wind, and he lost his balance and fell down.

This confession is a lie, am I right? "

"What do you want to say?" Xiang Yuecheng's expression changed slightly after hearing Tang Ze's words.

"It's what you want to say." Karasawa stared into Xiangyue Chengyi's eyes and said calmly: "What I want is the actual situation, not your loopholes."

Upon hearing Tang Ze's words, Xiangyue Cheng's eyes began to dodge as soon as he looked at Tang Ze, followed by constant silence.

Tang Ze didn't urge the other party, he just watched quietly.

"Sure enough, some things are easy to say but difficult to do."

After a long time, Xiangyue Chengyi said with a wry smile: "When I was a lawyer, I didn't understand why my defenders lied.

But it was only when things happened to me that I understood their psychology.

I had no intention of hiding it if I could help it. "

"What are you hiding?" Tang Ze knew that he was just short of a boost at this moment, so he took advantage of the situation and asked.

"Wife. Sayoko."

When Xiang Yuecheng said this, his expression changed for a while, and finally he looked humiliated and said: "She is having an affair."

After telling this situation, Xiangyue Chengyi's expression seemed to be much calmer, and he slowly said: "I just discovered that you hired a detective to investigate the extramarital affair later on, and then obtained relevant evidence.

But I didn't mean to blame her, because I realized at that time that I had been busy with work and hadn't been with her for a long time.

That day I asked my wife to go hiking. I also hoped to get back the mood I had when we were lovers and see if I could change my wife's mind.

When we passed the suspension bridge, because it was our place of memories, I wanted to tell her how I felt.

However, her reaction was more intense than I expected. "

【what! 】

[Hire a private detective to investigate my whereabouts]

[How despicable, are you doing this to threaten me?]

"Sayako lost her temper. I wanted to stop her, but I couldn't."

Xiangyue Chengyi said with a sad expression: "And the scratch on the arm was made at that time.

I tried to calm her down, but she kept pushing me, and then I accidentally tripped over the sign and fell to the ground.

She looked at me and said she shouldn't be here, and then she wanted to go back.

I quickly got up and chased after her, and stopped her in the middle of the bridge.

Sayoko was so furious that she turned around and pushed me away.

At that time, the suspension bridge was shaking so much that she couldn't stand still at all. She lost her balance due to inertia and fell on the guardrail.

And then there happened to be a strong gust of wind, and she fell directly."

"Why didn't you talk about this before?" Tangze asked calmly after listening to Xiangyue Chengyi's story.

"I knew I should have said it during the initial interrogation, but"

Xiangyue Chengyi lowered his head: "When the police asked whether the two of us had a quarrel, I was actually scared.

If in that case, I admit that I had a quarrel with Sayoko, I can be forcibly identified as a prisoner based on this alone.

But then the wound on my arm was discovered, and it became even more unclear.

As a lawyer, I know the police's style very well. If I change my confession, they will be more convinced.

result"

"That makes Sayoko's confession that her hat was blown off by the wind, and it's unclear how she injured her arm, right?"

Hearing Tang Ze's words, Xiang Yuecheng nodded and said: "Anyway, even though she passed away, my wife's infidelity is unforgivable to my self-esteem."

Looking at Xiangyue Chengyi who lowered his head in silence, Karasawa said nothing more and quickly ended the conversation.

Of course, he did not return to Tokyo immediately. Instead, he contacted Tomi Yamazaki and explained the situation to the other party.

"Investigation of wife's affair!?"

After listening to Karasawa's words, Tomei Yamazaki was also shocked, "I have never heard of such a thing."

"But this is the fact." Tangze said.

"Sorry, this is my dereliction of duty." Yamazaki Tomei immediately stood up and bowed to apologize: "Please forgive me!"

"Those who don't know are not guilty, and I don't mean to blame you."

Karasawa looked at Tomi Yamazaki and said, "But whether I forgive or not is not a problem. After all, you submitted a formal application for us to re-appraise.

No matter what happens during the process, we will truthfully submit the appraisal results.

What you have to worry about now is not me, but the fact that he concealed this matter and will be at a great disadvantage during the trial. "

Karasawa looked at Tomi Yamazaki who looked worried and said, "Okay, I've told you everything I should tell you. As Mr. Xiangyue's lawyer, you should take countermeasures as soon as possible."

After saying that, Tang Ze ignored the other party's request to treat him to dinner, said goodbye to him and left.

Taking the Shinkansen, Karasawa quickly returned to Tokyo.

Since he was on another trip to Kyoto, it was already very late at night, so Karasawa found a good restaurant to settle the dinner problem, and then returned home.

After washing, the two shared their daily routines with each other while watching TV, and soon fell asleep early.

After all, there are still cases waiting for him to investigate tomorrow.
