After a group of people entered the apartment building, Shiratori called the manager of the apartment building. While waiting for the elevator, Sotakuya asked Takagi Wataru: "If Takagi is you to investigate, where are you going to start?"
"Well, I will probably choose the scene where Miss Muranishi was murdered to start the investigation?"
Hearing Takagi Wataru's answer, Sotakuya shook his head.
When So Takuya set up the Special Investigation Division, he reviewed the files of most of the police officers in the Investigation Division, and Takagi Wataru's files were naturally among them.
After graduating from the Police Academy of the National Police Agency, Takagi entered the Yoneka Town First-line Interchange Station as the inspection director.
Because Takagi Wataru had the courage to take responsibility and dare to fight when he was at the police station, he was appreciated by his superiors and then transferred to the Investigation Section 1 to become a criminal police officer.
Although Takagi was the most outstanding person in the police station at that time, after entering the "talented" search class, Takagi Wataru quickly realized the gap between himself and other criminal police officers.
It can also be seen from Takagi Wataru's answer to Nakamune Takuya that Takagi Wataru has not yet formed his own system for the search and investigation of murder cases.
It belongs to the state of following others' opinions.
This also leads to the fact that Takagi Wataru is a very good executor, but not a very good decision-maker.
Without Conan's external brain, Takagi's investigation today would most likely be a tragedy.
For Takagi Wataru, a little brother with a lovable personality, Sotakuya was still willing to give him a heads up. After asking the administrator about the floor of Higashida Ansheng's apartment, he pressed the button for the corresponding elevator.
Then he said to Takagi Wataru, who was a little confused in the elevator: "Since Higashida Ansheng says he is innocent and has provided evidence, what Takagi you need to do now is not to rush to the murder scene to investigate again."
"But to verify what Higashida Ansheng said."
"What if what Ansheng Higashikata said was just nonsense?"
"It is the virtue of a detective to maintain a certain degree of suspicion in everything."
Arriving at the door of Dongtian Ansheng's apartment, the administrator took out the backup key and opened the door. Takagi looked surprised when the door opened to reveal the situation inside.
"What's wrong, Takagi? Is there anything wrong with Mr. Higashida's room?" Noticing Takagi's suspicious expression, Shiratori looked at the room curiously, and then asked Takagi.
On the surface, there is nothing unusual about Higashida Ansheng's room. It looks like an ordinary room for a middle-aged man living alone.
The color tone of the entire room is mainly gray and dark gray, which is a stain-resistant color. This is also the color that most middle-aged people who live alone like to choose. The sheets, quilt covers and curtains are all gray.
There is no special decoration inside the room. It is basically the same as it was when I rented it. Higashida Ansheng just added some daily necessities to the room.
Hearing this, Takagi pointed to Higashida Ansheng's room in shock and said in surprise: "Mr. Higashida's room looks exactly like the house of Miss Muranishi where the murder occurred!"
After Takagi Wataru finished speaking, he calmed down a little. He carefully observed the room and then shook his head: "No, it's not exactly the same. It's just that the layout of the room and the color of the curtains and bedding are the same."
"Tsk, tsk, this alone speaks volumes. Didn't the Forensics Department come to Dongtian's room to take a look when they were searching the scene?"
So Takuya walked to the cabinet at the entrance and picked up what was on the cabinet. It was an invitation to the wedding and a ticket to Chicago in the United States tomorrow morning.
"It seems that Mr. Higashida did not lie."
After verifying Higashida Ansei's words, Sotakuya and his party returned to the room of the victim Muranishi Mami.
Sure enough, it was exactly what Takagi said. The layout of the furniture in Mura Nishi's beautiful room was the same as that of Ansheng in winter. The curtains, sheets and quilts were all gray.
In Sotakuya's eyes, these gray things were incompatible with the color tone of the entire room.
The interior objects and decorations of Muranishi Zhenmei's rooms are mainly in warm colors such as beige. These gray items look particularly abrupt in the entire room.
Zong Takuya opened the closet in the room and found beige bedding and curtains that had been put away. In addition, Zong Takuya also found traces of furniture being moved on the ground.
The scene of the crime was spotless, or rather it was cleaned spotlessly by the police from the Surveillance Division, and So Takuya was speechless.
Except for Ikumi Gunada's subordinates in the forensics department, the only role these people can play at the scene seems to be cleaning the room.
"Director Zong, have you discovered anything?" Facing the spotless scene, Takagi Wataru touched the back of his head in distress, and mustered up the courage to ask Zong Takuya.
"What did you find? It would be better to say that the room is full of discoveries." Sotakuya walked to Muranishi Mami's bed and looked at a mark on the wall that was incompatible with the surrounding walls.
It can be seen from this mark that this location was originally supposed to be pasted with something like a poster. Now that the poster has been removed, the colors of the walls on both sides are completely different.
"By the way, who was the first person to discover the murder case?" Zong Takuya tilted his head and asked Shiratori.
"It's Mr. Kitagawa. He is a colleague of Mr. Higashida and Miss Muranishi, and he is also a good friend of Mr. Higashida."
"Contact the No. 1 Investigation Section of the headquarters and ask them to bring Beichuan back to cooperate with the investigation, and let those from the Criminal Department of the Special Investigation Section interrogate Beichuan."
"Contact the Forensic Division and ask Ikumi Gunada to lead people to re-search the Muranishi Mami case site. If there are any objections from the Forensic Division, tell them that it was my decision."
On the surface, the Tokyo Public Safety Commission is the direct leader of the Metropolitan Police Department, but in fact, the Metropolitan Police Department is the place that actually manages the Metropolitan Police Department.
In particular, the forensics division is affiliated with the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department, and Sotakuya is also the director of the Criminal Planning Division of the Criminal Division of the Metropolitan Police Department.
Facing Sotakuya's order, the senior officials in the forensics department had no way to refute or question it.
"Is this enough?" Faced with Zong Takuya's series of arrangements, Takagi Wataru hesitated. Today when he was investigating the case, he met Beichuan, the reporter.
He originally wanted to ask Beichuan to cooperate with the investigation, but was dismissed by Beichuan's impatient attitude in a few words.
Wataru Takagi, who has transformed from a police station inspector to a criminal police officer, still seems to be uncomfortable with his current identity.
Zong Takuya said to Takagi in a serious tone: "Brother Takagi, you must understand that as a criminal police officer, most of the cases you handle now are cases involving human life."
"Asking the suspect to cooperate with the investigation is just a polite way of saying it. If the suspect cooperates, everyone will be happy. If the suspect does not cooperate, you have to ask him to cooperate."
"After you return to Search Class 1, you can go to my former criminal department subordinates to learn these things."
"As a detective, you have to be strong~"
