Wakame Mikiko, 39 years old, is unmarried but has a cohabiting boyfriend and rents a mid-range apartment building.

After notifying Nakano Eri, Takeshi Nihara immediately went to inspect Wakao Mikiko's apartment, and in a blink of an eye he found... a whole box of various clothing and strange toys.

Of course, this is not the point, it has nothing to do with the case. The point is that there are also many female self-defense props in Wakame Mikiko's home, and like another female victim, Ayaka Kikumoto, most of them were purchased in a concentrated manner several years ago.

But her cohabiting boyfriend also couldn't tell why she bought so many self-defense props, and they were not together at that time.

In addition, Ruomi Kiko is an ordinary woman with an ordinary career and a life... If you don't consider XP, your life will be very ordinary.

"So, the store manager Ruojiang and Ms. Kikuyuan are both a little afraid of the darkness and walking on the night road?" Qingjian Liuli looked at several bottles of unused pepper spray and said hesitantly, "They have an intersection because they bought these self-defense props?"

These people can’t beat even if they are in their lives and work. It seems that this is the only explanation!

Qiyuan Wu ignored her, looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while, and pondered: "Even so, how did the murderer know them? The police carefully analyzed their files. They were not involved in the case, nor were they witnesses, and they did not mention in their daily lives how the murderer dug them out one by one..."

This is not right, and Qingjian Liuli said strangely: "What are you talking about?"

Qiyuanwu got up and walked out. Qing saw Liuli even more strange, "Where are you going?"

“Go to the TV station.”

"What are you doing at the TV station?"

"Let's go and have a look!"

Takeshi Nihara only had a guess at this moment, but he didn't understand it. He couldn't explain it to Kiyomiami Ryuri. He quickly contacted Hirano Local TV Station through Nakano Eri and found the head of the news department, and asked directly: "Is there any archive of TV news from six or seven years ago? Have there been any violent attacks in the news?"

The head of the TV station's news department replied inexplicably: "This is not easy to say. If ordinary news is washed away, only the more special materials will be kept in the archives, but six or seven years ago..."

He hesitated slightly and said uncertainly, "It's been too long since time has passed, and I can't remember it very clearly, but I think there is such a case. At that time, a group of people went to a ramen shop to try it out, but they accidentally ran into a violent injury case and came back to edit and play it."

Takeshi Nihara immediately asked, "Is the videotape still preserved?"

"It is possible that it is a relatively rare material and should be preserved." The head of the news department led them to the archives room, and at the same time, he did not lack news sensitivity. He tentatively said as he walked, "Is it evidence? Which case is related to?"

Qiyuanwu said casually: "A old case, that news may become a supplementary evidence."

"Is that true?" the head of the news department asked in a slight conviction, "Is there any progress in serial bombings now?"

"No clue."

The two chatted, and Qing saw Liuli following behind, and the three of them soon arrived at the TV station's archives room.

It is called an archive room, but it is actually just a few warehouses renovated from the basement, and there is not much material preserved. After all, the Japanese TV industry is a bit strange. Local TV stations are only responsible for producing local news, weather programs and shoddy local variety shows. All the other programs rely on purchasing broadcast rights from big TVs.

The head of the news department and the archives administrator rummaged through it for a while, and soon found a dusty video tape, wiped it and filled it into the video recorder to see if it was.

This is the original material that has not been processed. The videotape was first introduced to a newly opened ramen shop, which was suspected to be making a variety show soft advertisement. Soon someone shouted "Look," and then the camera swayed and pointed at the sidewalk opposite the ramen shop. A man was waving his bat and chasing several people...

As soon as the screen reached here, Qi Yuanwu's pupils shrank, and he reached out and pulled out the video tape, and smiled and said, "Thank you, this is the evidence I am looking for. I'll send you a receipt, and the police station will borrow it first."

The head of the news department disappeared before he could see the human image clearly. He felt something was wrong and hesitated and said, "Come directly away? To prevent the material from being lost, how about let's rip a plate first?"

If Shi Yuanwu disagreed, in order to be more cautious, he would have to ask for formal procedures and take this opportunity to take a good look at what was in the video tape.

"That's fine." Qi Yuanwu agreed immediately, and was indifferent. He handed over the video tape. He also wrote a receipt to the person in charge, and asked them to go to the police station to collect it. There was a ripping machine in the archives room. Like the ripping tape, the administrator directly copied a disk - the speed was very fast, and the head wrote data on the magnetic strip.

The head of the news department was relieved. After sending away Qiyuan Takeshi and Kiyomi and met Liuli with politeness, they returned to watch the video, preparing to find out if there was any news, but found that the administrator was confused, and the picture on the TV was a popular drama.

He said strangely: "Where is the videotape I just ripped? Change it to that one."

The administrator pointed to the TV, and looked strange: "That's it, but... did you get it wrong just now? He clearly handed it to me, why did I rip the TV series I just watched?"

…………

"Run!" Qiyuan Wu Gang left the sight of the head of the news department and ran away.

Qing Jian Liuli instinctively started running with him, her long hair was so confused that she said, "What happened? Why do we run?"

Qi Yuanwu fled quickly and said while running: "If you don't run, they will definitely settle the score with us. This videotape cannot fall into their hands, at least not now, so run quickly."

Qing saw that Liuli couldn't understand the situation even more, so she followed him all the way out of the TV station and got into the taxi. Then she said angrily: "What's going on? I'm Ya's assistant, you should tell me the truth!"

Qi Yuanwu threw the videotape into her hand and smiled and said, "That's it for you. Ninety-ninety percent of the contents in it are the crime motives of the prisoners. The people on the TV station want ratings to be fatal. The videotape will be discovered by them and are closely related to serial bombings. They will immediately use it to play exclusive news, and it is impossible to give us so easily."

Kiyomi Liuri was shocked: "Is this the criminal's motive for the crime?"

Qiyuan Takeshi nodded and said, "It should be that I saw the first victim, Makoto Kanmura, inside. The other victims are probably there too. If the TV station people look at each other again, they will probably recognize it."

"What the hell is going on?" Kiyomi Liuri looked at the videotape in surprise. Unexpectedly, the connection between the victims was only the victims of the same violence, and they appeared in the same videotape and were all on the news from six or seven years ago.

"Let's talk about it!" Qi Yuanwu had already guessed what was going on and sighed, "It probably isn't a good thing."

…………

The two quickly fled to the police station, found Nakano Eri, and after briefly explaining the situation, they started watching the videotape together.

The picture continued, a man suspected of being in a very abnormal state was roaring with a ball bat and roaring at a group of people. A young girl with a blue scarf walked towards her, while walking and flipping through books. She looked up in surprise when she heard the sound, but was instantly knocked over by the first victim, Makoto Kamiura.

The shooting distance was too far, and no sound was collected, but it could be seen that the girl in the blue scarf cried out in pain after falling down, and her feet seemed to be twisted a little. Makoto Kamiura didn't care about her at all. She shook off her sleeve and still buried her head and ran forward.

The girl in blue scarf seemed to see the situation clearly, and seemed to be frightened, and she got up and wanted to escape. At this time, the second victim, Kikumoto Ayaka, who seemed to be a college student at the time, rushed past her in panic.

Following her, the third victim, Mikiko Wakasu, also ran here. Her high heels seemed to be broken and she fell to the ground, almost hitting the girl with blue scarf.

At this time, the girl with blue scarf had already gotten up and was about to escape, but she didn't escape directly. She reached out to pull Ruojiang Mikiko up and helped her escape together. The words were slow, but the picture was actually very fast. At this time, another young man rushed over and knocked the girl with blue scarf to the point of tilting again. At the same time, he lost his speed, cursed and changed direction.

The scene was a bit chaotic. Mikiko Ruoe saw that she could not run away. She shook off the girl's hand in the blue scarf, turned around and rushed into the telephone booth on the side of the road, and tightly grabbed the door.

At this time, the man who was suspected of being mentally abnormal finally caught up and waved his hand to the Blue Scarf Girl. The Blue Scarf Girl was in pain and quickly ran to the phone booth, but there were already three people in the phone booth.

The very old-fashioned telephone booth is like a small house. Although it is transparent plastic glass, it has glue in the middle of the double layer. There is also a circle of red iron railings outside to protect it, which can prevent smashing.

Kikumoto Ayaka shrank in a corner of the phone booth and cried. The young man and Mikiko Wakaoe were chasing him, so they tightened the door even more desperately. Through the picture, the girl with blue scarf slapped at the door and begged them to open the door, but neither of them had the intention of opening it. She shouted at Kikumoto Ayaka and asked her to come over and pull the door together.

Kikumoto Ayaka seemed to be frightened and actually went to help. Outside the door, the "mentally ill" waved the ball bat and hit the girl in the blue scarf several times, causing her blood to splatter the blue scarf, and smashed the phone booth a few times. Only then did she get attracted by others' attention and chase forward.

The whole process was less than a minute, and the distance was long and the cameraman didn't focus well, so the picture was actually a bit blurry. If it weren't for "preconceived ideas", it might not have been possible to recognize the top three victims at a glance.

At the end of the picture, the three people in the telephone booth saw that they left "mentally ill", opened the door and ran away. No one cared about the girl with blue scarf on the ground... Or it was time to say that the brown scarf was soaked in blood and turned brown.

After playing this scene, Kiyomi Ryuri and Nakano Eri lost their voices for a moment, while Takeno Shirahara said lightly: "This is the connection between the three victims."

Nakano Eri subconsciously supported her glasses, came back to her senses, stood up silently, and went to check the previous files to see what the case was actually like back then.

Kiyomi Liuli also reacted a little and said hesitantly: "Ms. Kuroo and Shop Manager Ruojiang... It is because of this incident that they have psychological shadows. They are afraid of being attacked again, so they bought a lot of self-defense and self-defense supplies, and it took several years to recover?"

Takeshi Nihara whispered: "Yes."

Qingjian Liuli said blankly again: "How did you guess there will be news? It has been so long and it is still so short, and I have no impression of it at all." She really has no impression. She rarely reads news, and even if she reads it, she still reads nhk's national news, and has hardly watched the local station's garbage programs.

Qiyuan Wu whispered: "I guess. They have encountered violent attacks and have psychological shadows, but they were not actually hurt. Otherwise, they would not have even been aware of their families. So I suspect there is a real victim, and there may be other hidden information in the case. So they kept silent. Now it is the victim or her family who are taking revenge.

But all the victims did not know each other and had no contact. The police did not have records of their involvement in the case or testimony. It would be lucky to not be recognized by others for such disgraceful things. It is even more impossible for them to take the initiative to say that it is a problem for the murderer to find them.

So I guess someone may have photographed or recorded them by accident. The murderer slowly found the people compared their height, body shape and appearance. I went to the TV station to ask first, and then went to the police station to slowly look up the old cases."

Qingjian Liuli nodded, expressed her understanding, and whispered: "If this is the case, the murderer deliberately tied bombs behind them, gave them scissors, and let them ask for help... Do you think these three people also want to feel the blue scarf sister's despair?"

Qiyuan Take off the TV and sighed: "Maybe!"

"But they are not the murderers, aren't they?" Qingjian Liuli's mind was a little confused. "Although I don't know what happened to the Blue Scarf Sister,... shouldn't they be the murderers? Why did they kill them, and they're so cruel?"

Qiyuan Wu thought about it, touched his chin and asked, "Doesn't it really count?"

Seeing that Liuli stopped talking, she couldn't count it. She didn't relieve the excitement of the mystery at this moment. She only felt that the scene just now made her feel a little disgusting.

How can a person not save him when he dies?
