Chapter 668 Key Clues
  Some time ago, an unemployed middle-aged social worker wanted to jump off a building, and he was very determined. He jumped off the building before the rescue team arrived.

At that time, there was only one person at the scene who rushed over from the police box after receiving the alarm. Under normal circumstances, except for persuasion, he was really useless.

Just because the other person wants to commit suicide, you can't be the first to shoot the other person to prevent him from going to hell.
  However, his area happened to be equipped with a "portable emergency pad", which made him, who could only talk nonsense, the key to the rescue.

With the help of the equipment, he successfully saved the opponent's life and made a great contribution.

It was with this actual case that various departments began to pay attention to this newly developed equipment.

Now that the trial period has long expired, various departments are waiting for mass production and widespread use.

As the only manufacturer, Karasawa's company naturally had a hard time getting orders.

Likewise, Dr. Ali, as the copyright owner, will naturally receive dividends.

As two people working together, there is no need to calculate the small sums of money so clearly when going out.

After all, Tang Ze, who is not short of money, and Dr. Ali, who is also a wealthy man,
  Now there is no shortage of money!
  After getting the telescope, the little ones excitedly discussed going to the hillside to watch the stars. They even sat up and dreamed of discovering a new comet.

However, Karasawa refused to go to the hillside with them, and stayed in the hotel on the pretext of taking a rest.

But looking at the meaningful looks in Conan and Haibara's eyes, he knew that he had not hidden anything from them.

But there is no need to hide it. The two of them now at most think that he is going to investigate the disappearance of Asao Kawasaki, and they will not think that he is already planning how to prevent the case.

After asking the boss, he already learned that except for them, the three people who just appeared were all the guests in the hotel.

In other words, the scope of suspects has also been determined.

Judging from the current situation, it is a case of choosing one of the classic four.

Having already locked in at this point, Tang Ze naturally had to conduct a thorough investigation.

And it's not just for investigation, he stays here to prevent sudden murders.

So whether it was to investigate or prevent a murder, Tangze had a reason to stay.

After the participants in the case appeared one after another, Tangze also obtained some key clues.

It is basically certain that this case is related to Xingxing. To be precise, it is related to the interests of discovering Xingxing.

So Tangze also collected key information from their conversations and sorted it out.

First of all, apart from the suspicious fact that the missing Asao Kawasa sent invitations to everyone, the most noteworthy thing is Heihachi Gogami.

There's nothing much to say about Kawasaki Asao. It's most likely that he just got a lunch.

The person who sent the invitation may be the murderer, or he may know the truth and come to seek revenge. I won't go into too much detail here.

Among the four suspects present, based on the intelligence compiled previously, Karasawa was most suspicious of Heihachi Gogami, who had discovered the comet.

Well, it's because the other party has discovered a comet, so he is currently listed as the first investigation target in the next plan by Karasawa.

Don't you think it's a little ridiculous?
  While this may seem like an achievement compared to others, generally speaking, this is a good thing.
  but! !

In Ke Xue's case, this kind of person is dangerous.

Because once it intersects with achievements, fame and wealth, it is easy to become dirty. To put it simply, it is easy to have murderous motives.

Especially when someone is missing, Tangze has even figured out how the other party killed people, buried their bodies, and found the comet.
  Although it makes no sense, it is very "scientific".

At present, the one who has interests entangled with the other party is Gogami Heihachi.

Based on the judgment of Tang Ze, the "Ke Xue Meng", there is a high probability that the other party will act as a prisoner or victim in this case.
  As for Etsuko Nonomiya, who may have emotional entanglements, she ranks second in the investigation. There is a high chance that the other party will become an Avenger.

It's just that the premise is to let the other party know everything, and now it's a case of acting for revenge later.

However, according to Tangze's previous observations, the other party was indeed showing his true feelings and was indeed drunk. The possibility of committing a crime at night was very small.
  Of course, there are cases where revenge fails and someone is killed instead, but generally the chance is not high.

In terms of degree of suspicion, the other party is as suspicious as Gogami Heihachi.

As for the boss Tiantu Lingji, he is temporarily ranked third because he occupies a good location but has no motivation, while Futakawa Hajime is in last place.

As for why the level of suspicion is the same, Gogami Heihachi is listed as the first target.
  Because Nonomiya Etsuko is a woman, Karasawa is not easy to contact and investigate, so he can only choose Gogami Heihachi first!

Well, it's that simple.

After all, it’s really hard for Karasawa, a young man, to go to a drunk woman’s room, right?

But it's different if the other party is a man. It's still relatively easy to visit him at home.

The investigation method is also very simple. You just need to secretly check whether the other party has any murder weapons.

Whether it's a knife, poison, or something that smells like something, as long as it's confirmed, it's a real deal.

As for what to do if four people have been screened but nothing was found.
  Then he can only take one step at a time. After all, he is just a mortal who has received a "criminal notice", and there is no guarantee that he will be able to successfully prevent the case.

Even if he has to use the valuable tool "Lie Detection Needle" and the reward is reduced, as long as there is a slight chance, he will not give up easily!

Although the props are valuable, in terms of maximizing profits, it is in the best interest not to waste the only two "Lie Detection Needles" when you are not sure.

However, some things are not calculated this way, and human life does not need to be measured by dead objects.

If there was a chance to prevent the tragedy from happening, but Tang Ze led to the murder for profit, then to a certain extent, what is the difference between him and an accomplice?

Although he didn't know much about it, and even the order of suspects was decided arbitrarily after a hasty summary based on "Ke Xue's Law", Tang Ze's execution ability was still worthy of him.

After Dr. Agasa and Miyano Akemi left with a few small ones, the four suspects each began to do their own things. Nonomiya Etsuko sat on the open-air balcony and continued to drink wine alone, while the boss Tenturyoji was packing things at the front desk.

But after a while, Tiantu Lingsi seemed to have discovered something, and hurriedly ran out with a telescope part.

As for the targets, Heihachinori Gogami and Haginori Futakawa were wandering outside the house, and soon they returned to their rooms to rest.

This would save trouble. If they never planned to go up, Tangze would take the risk and try his lock-picking skills.

Now he only needs to knock on the door one by one. Anyway, he only needs to enter the room briefly, and after a while he can initially inspect the items carried by the other party.

The remaining two suspects couldn't hurt each other because one was downstairs and the other went to see Dr. Ali. In other words, Tangze was safe as long as he watched the situation between the two above.

After thinking about it, Karasawa knocked on Gogami Heihachi's door with an invitation to play cards.

"Playing cards? Still can't do it. I want to take a rest before eating."

Gogami Heihachi, who was blocking the door with his body, politely refused and wanted to close the door.

But the other party finally opened the door. Why did Tang Ze let him close the door so easily? He leaned on the door that was about to close and said with a smile: "Mr. Gogami, I heard that you also received the invitation letter. I wonder if you can let me see it." What’s the content?”

"Ah? Mine is the same as Futakawa's." Gogami Heihachi said strangely: "The format and content are the same, there's nothing interesting about it, right?"

"I just want to see if there are any rules or special places. It's just a bit of curiosity on my part."

Tangze smiled sheepishly and said, "To be honest, I am also a mystery fan. When I encounter an invitation letter from a missing person, I will inevitably be a little curious."

"What a weirdo, just leave as soon as you finish reading it!"

Gogami Heihachi was a little reluctant to resist, but as the saying goes "don't hit the smiling person", he finally turned around and walked into the room, heading towards the place where the invitations were stored.

Tangze, on the other hand, immediately followed the other person into the room after he opened the door.

As soon as he stepped into the door, his super sense of smell was fully activated in an instant, and all the smells in the room entered his nasal cavity as he inhaled.

After various smells enter the nasal cavity, they are directly transmitted to the fast-running brain, and then the names of the various items represented by the smells begin to flash through Tang Ze's brain.

The smell of cigarette ash, shampoo, sweat.
  The smell full of life in the room kept coming, and those unpleasant smells were constantly rejected and dismissed by Tang Ze. He constantly filtered the smell in the room, looking for possible dangerous items.

Suddenly, a strange smell began to occupy most of Tangze's sense of smell.

Is this what lime tastes like?
  When Tang Ze identified the source of the smell, a trace of doubt emerged in his heart.

No matter how you think about it, Lime is not a good choice for killing people, right?
  It’s not like the opponent changed his job and became a thief, so he started by sprinkling lime on his hands.
  It's just that this item, which he would not normally carry, really caught Tangze's attention and vigilance.

And because Tang Ze had already walked into the room with the other party at this time, he first glanced at the source where he had just smelled the lime stored by the other party, and then began to look at the environment of the room.

"Well, that's it. I think it's just a very ordinary standard invitation letter. There's really nothing interesting about it."

Gogami Heihachi handed over an invitation letter and said impatiently: "Let's go quickly after reading. I have to wait for a rest. After dinner, I have to observe the stars."

"I'm really sorry to bother you."

Tangze smiled apologetically, and while taking the invitation letter from the other party, he pretended to look at it carefully, while skipping the direction of the source of the lime and using his sense of smell to check other items in the room.

And his first target is the other party's luggage bag!
  After taking a look around the room just now, he noticed the luggage bag that the other party had thrown on the stool against the wall. Using the cover of looking at the invitation letter, he took two seemingly casual steps closer.

Even though there is a zipper, when Tang Ze focuses on a certain item, this nominative aspect is nothing to him.

Soon the various items carried in the luggage bag were passed around.

The next moment, Tang Ze's face immediately became serious, and a sharp light flashed under his eyes.

He smelled gunpowder!
  Even masked by the mixed smell of toiletries, the dangerous smell did not escape his sense of smell.

He didn't expect that he would directly screen out the prisoners based on "Ke Xue's" analysis, and it was a real-life situation that could no longer be real-life.

He had previously thought that the other party might bring knives, poison, iron rods and other tools, or even some unusual items as killing tools, but he did not expect that the other party would bring firearms directly.

But this really saves trouble. After all, once this thing appears, you can basically directly prove the possibility that he is the culprit.

It was in vain that he had made so many response plans for this upcoming murder case. Who knew that the other party didn't even use plan one, and fell directly on the preliminary investigation.
  Gogami Heihachi: MMP! No, this is not some kind of reasoning! ! There was not a single inference in the whole process, it was all based on blind imagination! !

Karasawa: Sorry, my high-dimensional reasoning that breaks the "fourth wall" is based on the "rules of science" summarized by observing various rules that occur in cases around the world. How can I be a mortal like you? It's understandable.

In this case, just rely on "Ke Xue's Law" to screen out the approximate suspects, and then only need to conduct actual verification.

But who told you to be too naive and choose the killing method that I restrained the most?

Thinking about it, if Gogami Heihachi knew how he was exposed, apart from saying MMP, he would probably blame himself for not studying enough.
  Of course, on the surface, Tangze still didn't react at all and remained calm.

"I've finished reading. Thank you very much." Karasawa smiled politely and handed the invitation letter back to Gogami Heihachi: "I'm sorry to bother you."

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Hearing Karasawa's honorific and polite attitude, Gogami Heihachi's attitude became better and he couldn't help but ask.

"We haven't found anything yet." Tang Ze pretended to be a pity and shook his head: "I originally thought there were some clues, but I didn't expect it to be just an ordinary invitation."

"I just said it's useless." Gogami Heihachi smiled slightly disdainfully and said: "Futakawa and I have already read each other's invitation letters. If we find anything, we have already discovered it."

"That's right." Tang Ze nodded in agreement and said, "Then I'll take my leave first. It would be rude to come and disturb you."

"It's nothing." Gogami Heihachi said as he opened the door: "Then I will rest. See you later."

"Well, I hope we can have a pleasant chat next time." Karasawa smiled meaningfully and left Gogami Heihachi's room.
