Chapter 840 Temptation (4000)

Although the other party said some professional academic words, it could not conceal the position of the speaker behind the words.

And the two of them naturally understood the meaning of each other's words. Takagi paused with his palm on his thigh, hesitated and said: "So Professor Buta also thinks that Miss Iimori committed suicide, right?"

"Well, if you think theoretically and with common sense, you can only commit suicide."

Listening to the other party's words, Karasawa turned the topic over to Takagi, but remained silent himself. He looked at Hiroaki Buta, who was pouring black tea into the cup, with a deep look in his eyes.

If we say that at the beginning, he was just visiting and asking for news.

So now the other party's suspicion level suddenly rose to 50% or even six or seven levels in his mind.

At this time, Hiroaki Buta also poured the black tea that had gone through a set of brewing processes into the cup and pushed it in front of the two of them: "Here, please use it."

"Thank you." They thanked each other and took a sip of black tea.

"She is very serious and meticulous in her work. She also has a strong sense of responsibility. She is also a little bit of a germaphobe. She is exactly the standard of a top student."

After Hiroaki Buta handed the black tea to the two of them, he continued to describe his impression of Saki Iimori: "But such people are not mentally strong because they are used to everything going smoothly.

It is precisely because of this that they continue to blame themselves for small failures and setbacks that they think are no big deal, and then become desperate and eventually embark on the road of suicide...

I think she should be like this too..."

"It's a very clear analysis..." After listening to Buta Hiroaki's academic words, Takagi had already accepted the other party's point of view.

"No...it's completely wrong..."

Tang Ze's sudden words caused the air in the room to become stagnant in an instant.

But before the two of them could speak, Karasawa, who was holding a black tea cup in his hand, lowered his head and looked at the black tea: "First of all, the smell...then the fresh sweetness and the deep black color. This is the quality of Darjeeling black tea." smell!"

"Did you know that!?"

After hearing Karasawa's tasting, Hiroaki Buta leaned forward and approached Karasawa, but before he could speak, he denied his question: "No, you know tea, otherwise you wouldn't be able to make such an evaluation. .

It’s really rare for a young person like you to like black tea so much. "

"You are exaggerating." Tangze said with a smile: "I just fell in love with black tea recently and did some research."

"No, you are too modest!" Hiroaki Buta shook his body and denied Karasawa's words as if he had met a close friend: "You must be a tea lover!"

Tang Ze just smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he really didn't lie, but there was no way anyone could make him cheat.

First of all, he has the "money ability", and the black tea he drinks every day is high-quality tea carefully prepared by the Suzuki family.

And with his super sense of smell, he is also unique in tasting food. He easily got started by starting from the smell and became proficient in tasting black tea.

Takagi on the side was already confused. He felt that he really couldn't keep up with Tangze's rhythm.

The situation was at a stalemate just now, why did the conversation suddenly change to a black tea tasting?

This brain circuit is really confusing.

However, after all, Takagi was an old man who had been working with Karasawa since he joined the company. Although he didn't know why Karasawa suddenly behaved like this, he knew that the other party had already started to take action.

Because Karasawa used the word "you", it means that through the previous conversation, Karasawa Criminal began to suspect Hiroaki Buta.

Takagi, who was well aware of Karasawa's habits, knew that this was Karasawa's attitude when he came into contact with the suspect.

First let the other party relax their vigilance, and then pry out some information that the other party thinks is nothing, but for Tangze, it can deduce important clues.

Otherwise, they will use this excuse to visit the other party if they need to visit in the future.

But no matter what the process is, the ending will be to find the decisive evidence and arrest him with a "one-hit kill"!

And the fact is exactly as Takagi thought, Karasawa did it on purpose, and this move was indeed a way to get closer to the other party and get closer to the other party.

If you want to quickly get closer to strangers, having common interests is a good starting point.

When he entered, he observed the surroundings. Apart from work matters, the other party had very few personal belongings. There was only a set of red tea cups placed on the cabinet against the wall.

This also allowed Tangze to analyze that the other party should prefer black tea, which meant that the other party's obsession with black tea was somewhat unexpected to him.

"I've been poisoned by black tea for a long time."

And just when Takagi had some vague realization, Hiroaki Buta looked at Karasawa and said happily: "You must have a cup of strong Darjeeling in the morning, and Assam with milk in the evening."

"If you don't drink, you won't even be able to sleep." Tangze said with a smile.

"That's right! That's right!!" After hearing Tang Ze's exaggerated words, Buta Hiroaki nodded in agreement: "You are such a close friend that you only meet once in a century. How about another drink?"

"Then I won't be polite."

Karasawa smiled and put the tea cup on the coffee table. Watching Hiroaki Buta pick up the teapot and pour the black tea into the cup, his words suddenly changed: "But... something doesn't make sense."

"kindness?"

After hearing Karasawa's words, Hiroaki Buta's arms paused while pouring the tea, and then he raised his head and looked at Karasawa with some confusion: "How do you say this?"

"I heard from the manager of the apartment that when I saw Miss Iimori that night, she seemed very happy. So we can only conclude that she committed suicide, right?"

Karasawa took a sip of black tea and then questioned: "But if this is the case, will tetrodotoxin be prepared in advance?"

"I'm afraid that Enxin is just a mask she uses to deal with the other party."

Hiroaki Buta pondered for a moment and then said: "After all, as I said before, different people will subconsciously show different sides of themselves when facing different people and things.

As for the poison, I am afraid it was prepared in advance for this time. After all, it is now easy to get these through the Internet.

It’s understandable to prepare in advance and tell the truth. After all, it’s normal to hesitate before making up your mind. "

"But to be honest, I can't agree with the theory of suicide." Tangze put the teacup on the coffee table and shook his head slightly.

"Could it be that there is something wrong that makes you feel wrong?" After hearing Tang Ze's words, Hiroaki Buta also put down his tea cup and asked with concern. Judging from his demeanor, it seems that after learning that the student's death was not a suicide, he was interested in the follow-up inquiry and concern.

"For the sake of black tea, I will only say this here."

When Karasawa said this, his voice quietly narrowed, "I suspect that Miss Saki Iimori may have an "unethical love affair" with someone, that is, an affair with a married person."

"You mean cheating? No way."

At this point, Hiroaki Buta leaned back on his seat and shook his head: "She would not be the person to do such a thing."

"It's really interesting." Tang Ze suddenly showed an interested look, "Didn't you say that the idea of ​​"could she commit suicide" is meaningless?
  After all, humans are complex creatures. On what theory did you base your judgment on to make sure that Miss Saki Iimori did not put on a mask on you and mislead your judgment? "

"This is a judgment based on my daily understanding of her." Hiroaki Buta waved his hand and said, "This is a judgment based on my subjective consciousness, and there is no reference."

"So that's it. There's a difference between scientific "academic judgment" and personal "subjective judgment."" Tang Ze nodded suddenly.

"That's right, that's a good summary." Hiroaki Buta said while adding black tea to his cup: "By the way, why do you have such an idea?"

"Actually, Miss Saki Iimori has a notebook at home, which records her daily expenses in detail, which is the so-called family accounting book."

Takagi spoke about the findings that Karasawa told him in the car before: "Every penny she spent was recorded in detail, and even the money spent on buying a piece of candy was carefully recorded."

"She really has her style." Hearing Takagi's words, Buta Hiroaki couldn't help but sigh.

"In fact, we discovered some clues from this."

Karasawa looked around cautiously, and the gesture of wanting to keep it secret made Hiroaki Buta subconsciously lean forward, and his whole body entered the tense atmosphere:

"When we checked the bill, we found that Ms. Saki Iimori would go to the same supermarket every night after get off work to buy ingredients and then cook by herself."

"and then?"

Hiroaki Buta seemed to realize that he was a little too concerned. He picked up the black tea and regained his objective attitude and commented: "I think people who live alone should be like this, right?"

"That's where the problem lies."

Karasawa's sharp eyes stared at Hiroaki Buta in front of him and said slowly: "Although he cooks every week, he basically doesn't go to the supermarket to buy ingredients on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Do you think she will go there to eat? !?"

"This." Hiroaki Buta took a sip of black tea and said, "Maybe only she knows."

Although the other party's performance was as usual, Tang Ze, who had been prepared to keep an eye on him, still discovered the subtle unnaturalness of the other party.

First, the right hand holding the black tea unconsciously stopped for a moment after hearing Karasawa's words, and then drank the black tea as if without any reaction.

Secondly, the other party wrinkled slightly for a moment every day, including the seriousness in his eyes, which showed that the other party was not as calm as he appeared after hearing the news.

It can only be said that the other party was too calm, so he was able to control his mind when he heard the news.

But Tangze's micro-expressions were not learned in vain, especially when he was calculating mentally or not, with his dynamic nerve reflexes he could clearly see the other person's fleeting true reaction.

"I think this situation can only be caused by eating outside. Professor, what do you think?"

Karasawa's observation only happened in a moment and did not affect their conversation at all. After hearing Hiroaki Buta's perfunctory words, Takagi continued to look at Hiroaki Buta's serious and serious talk. It discusses this issue.

"Not only that, she didn't pay herself. After all, there was no relevant expenditure record in the accounting book."

While secretly praising Takagi's tacit cooperation, Karasawa continued his analysis: "In this case, the possibility of someone inviting Miss Saki Iimori to dinner becomes the only option."

"That is to say, Tuesday and Thursday are most likely date days." Takagi immediately agreed, concluding the reasoning.

"However, when we investigated, we didn't find out about the man the other party was dating. Even the apartment manager who was close to him like "Tokyo Mom" ​​didn't know about it."

Tang Ze looked serious and said: "In other words, she is dating without telling the people around her!
  It takes a lot of effort to hide the love affair from others. We think it is natural for Ms. Saki Iimori to have an abnormal love relationship. "

As the two sang and harmonized, the two of them stated their suspicions with reason.

"So that's it." Tian Hongming, the reasoning department who heard the two of them, touched his chin, frowned and muttered: "Then the day she died was..."

"Tuesday!" Takagi gestured.

"Well...what an amazing observation ability." Hiroaki Buta praised:

"No, some of the professor's remarks are still refreshing to me."

Tangze smiled flatteringly, and then said meaningfully: "So we also want to ask the professor who you think the other party will be."

"I never interfere in Iimori's private affairs." Hiroaki Buta stood up and walked to the desk to pick up a book and said: "But just like that, it cannot be used as a denial of "suicide."

Rather, it would be more reasonable if this was really the case that caused him to commit suicide after receiving a blow, right?

And I heard that she herself left a suicide note. "

"Actually, that suicide note is a bit confusing." Tang Ze saw the other party planning to stand up and leave, and also stood up and came to the other party's side.

"It's common for suicide notes to be incomplete."

Hiroaki Buta's tone was a little hasty and a little more intense: "Maybe he was hit at the time and was in a state of mental confusion. In this case, you can't ask the other party to write something that is logically complete."

"I see, I've been taught a lesson." Seeing that the other party's emotions were a bit uncontrollable, Tang Ze did not continue to stimulate the other party, but showed an attitude of humbly accepting the lesson.

"That's it for now, I have classes next."

Hiroaki Buta looked at his watch, then took out his business card holder and handed Karasawa a business card: "I will try my best to assist you two in the investigation."

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Just when the other party was about to put the business card holder back into his inner pocket, Tangze stopped the other party, took the business card holder from the other party's hand and looked at it: "It's a really exquisite business card holder."

"This is a gift from my wife." Hiroaki Buta put his business card holder back into his inner pocket and said.

"It seems that the professor loves your wife very much."

After hearing Karasawa's words, Hiroaki Buta didn't say anything, just smiled and left the room.
