Some distance away from the small park, in a black Porsche 356A, Gin was sitting in the passenger seat, holding a cigarette, looking in the direction of the small park, and said coldly.
"Numabuchi Kiichiro, it's really better to send it to Shirley for human experimentation."
He took the cigarette from his mouth with his fingers, blew out the smoke, and Gin continued to say coldly:
"Even a copycat crime has caused so many twists and turns."
As he said that, Gin suddenly looked at the rearview mirror of the vehicle and saw a woman running from behind the car. Unable to help, Gin showed a sneer.
At this time, Vodka, who was in the driver's seat, also saw the people walking behind the car through the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but be a little surprised and said:
"Brother, why does that woman appear here..."
"Don't worry about her."
Gin said coldly, "Has she been in contact with Shirley these days?"
"No."
Vodka said, "Recent surveillance personnel reported that Shirley has not had any contact with the outside world."
"Hmph. This is best."
Gin said coldly.
"But, brother, Mitsui Apartment is now guarded by the police, and we can't get in now."
Vodka said worriedly.
"Don't worry."
Gin said calmly, "Since that woman plans to escape, she won't leave any clues in her apartment."
Putting the cigarette back into his mouth, Gin said silently: "The information about 'Kondo' has been confirmed, and the value of this woman is gone. It's a pity that it took so long, and the 'legendary killer' turned out to be a fake."
"But brother, compared to these, these peripheral members have been really restless recently. Starting from the one named Furukawa to this one today, they ask us to clean up the aftermath every time. It's a waste of time."
Vodka said angrily.
After saying this, the two of them started the vehicle and left without further words.
Early the next morning, Gao Yuan was awakened by the sound of his cell phone ringing. The caller ID was Takagi Wataru.
"Hello? What's the matter? Officer Takagi."
After picking up the phone, Gao Yuan asked.
"Ah, it's not that important."
As if hearing Gao Yuan's lazily yawning, Gao Muwa said sheepishly.
"I just want to confirm one more thing with Mr. Akechi."
"you say."
After waking up for a while, Gao Yuan said.
"Um, the deceased last night said 'Misui Apartment' before she died. That was the place where she was attacked, right?"
Takagi Sheba asked.
"Well, yes. I asked a lot of questions at that time, but the other party didn't answer. It wasn't until I asked her where the attack was that she said 'Mitsui Apartment'."
Gao Yuan said, "So this 'Mitsui Apartment' answer is the location where she was attacked, so it should be correct. What's wrong? Is there any problem with this?"
"No, if Mr. Mingzhi confirms it like this, there should be no problem."
Takagi Wataru said somewhat ambiguously.
"That's it for now. I won't disturb you anymore, Mr. Mingzhi."
After saying that, Takagi Shita hung up the phone.
In this regard, Gao Yuan was a little helpless. Gao Mushe called to confirm the matter without hesitation. He always felt that the police must have discovered some problem during the investigation.
However, the situation at that time was indeed the case. After Miss Kyoko asked the other party where the attack was, the other party's answer should be the answer to the corresponding question.
But what's the problem with this?
With this doubt, Gao Yuan got up, turned on his computer, used the crawler software he had written before, and asked him to search the Internet for news reports about serial murders in Tokyo, and started a search using the keyword "women wearing glasses".
After setting these, Gao Yuan let the program run for a while while Gao Yuan went to prepare to wash up.
Soon, Gao Yuan finished this and returned to the computer. At this time, a large amount of information had been searched out by the software and sorted into categories.
This information is classified in chronological order.
Gao Yuan took a closer look and found that so far, excluding the deceased last night, there were five cases of women wearing glasses who had been killed in Tokyo so far, with death scenes similar to what he saw last night.
The first victim died on August 31st.
The second victim died on September 8.
The third and fourth victims died on September 30, two deaths on this day.
The fifth victim died on November 8.
The above is all the information that can be seen on the news. Counting the one last night, there are currently a total of six dead.
Judging from the performance of the police, these incidents should have been treated as serial homicides. However, there seems to be no such statement in the news reports. It seems that the Metropolitan Police Department has done a good job in keeping this incident confidential.
News reports on several of these cases contained extremely limited information. If I hadn't relied on this crawler software to search, I might not have been able to compile such comprehensive information.
However, now looking at the occurrence time of these cases together, Gao Yuan always has a feeling of déjà vu.
At this time, the doorbell of Gao Yuan's house rang.
When I went out, I found that Kudo Shinichi was ringing the doorbell of his home, and Mao Lilan was also there.
"Hey, Mr. Akechi!"
After saying hello, Kudo Shinichi said.
"What's the matter? Kudo-san, and Mori-san?"
Gao Yuan came to the door, opened the door for him and asked.
"Isn't this what happened during the two days of the school trip? Xiaolan said that I must thank you very much, so I made some snacks and said I would give them to you."
Kudo Shinichi said.
"I just made some randomly. I don't know if they suit your taste, Mr. Mingzhi."
Mao Lilan handed the package in his hand to Gao Yuan and said.
"Thank you very much. I like the snacks very much."
Although he didn't see what was inside, Gao Yuan answered politely.
"It would be great if Mr. Akechi likes it."
Xiaolan said, "By the way, the coupons from that store last time haven't been used up yet. If Mr. Mingzhi is free, let's go there and eat together today!"
"Okay, I don't have anything to do today anyway."
Gao Yuan said, looking at the two high school students in front of him, he remembered that today is the weekend again.
After putting the snacks given by Xiaolan into the refrigerator, Gao Yuan went out, preparing to set off again with Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan.
On the way, Gao Yuan was still thinking about the serial murders. He was a little surprised that he felt familiar with the time of the crime. After thinking about it, he suddenly asked Kudo Shinichi who was standing aside.
"By the way, Kudo-kun, for August 31st, September 8th, September 30th..."
"And November 8th?"
Before he finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi suddenly interrupted Gao Yuan's words with some confusion.
"Yes, there is still November 8th!"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing what Kudo Shinichi should know, he asked: "What do you think of when talking about these dates?"
"Does it need to be said? These dates are the days when the murderer committed the murder in the Jack the Ripper case that happened in London a hundred years ago!"
After hearing this, Gao Yuan was stunned - yes! It's Jack the Ripper! This case also exists in this world! He actually didn't think of it for a while!
No, wait a minute!
I remember that in the case of Jack the Ripper, after the incident on November 8, the murderer disappeared, and similar murder methods never appeared again in London.
If the timing coincidence of the serial murders in Tokyo was deliberate by the murderer, in order to imitate the case a hundred years ago, the incident last night should not have happened!
Could it be that--
Was last night's incident committed by a copycat?
Thank you An Chen Yuyi, I will give you a reward if you have the same name.
