Conan's first love is a profiler

Chapter 43 The only survivor

"The deceased, Rong Hase, male, was 23 years old. There were no signs of external intrusion in the house."

Hase Rong was lying on the sofa, his neck was stabbed with a deep wound, and the cloth on his stomach was cut off.

Mu Mu Shisan looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

A similar case happened ten years ago, but where the cloth was cut off, there were marks of scratches with multi-purpose knives, but Hase Rong's did not.

So, did the perpetrator of the case ten years ago reappear, or was someone imitating the crime?
"Did any suspicious person come in and out?"

"Not yet. In addition, through inquiry, I learned that a large-scale cleaning of the outer wall was carried out yesterday, so it is speculated that the murderer may be the cleaning staff."

Mu Mu Shisan nodded, "Then let's start the investigation from this aspect."

His intuition told himself that the murderer of the multipurpose knife serial murder case ten years ago had reappeared.

22 murders, the murderer has not been caught so far. This time, you will not be allowed to escape again.

In Nikmai TV——

"The case that happened in the apartment this time, according to the information we have received, is likely to be the murderer of the multi-purpose knife serial murder case ten years ago."

"But." Facing the director's words, the reporter asked a question: "Didn't the police find no traces of external intrusion? Judging from this, it should be a murder case in a secret room."

"I remember that in a program ten years ago, there was an example of a murder case in a secret room, and the murderer has not been caught yet."

After taking a breath, the reporter went on to say: "And on Mr. Hase's body, there were no marks of scratches with a knife, but there were all of them in the previous bodies."

"So, could it be the murderer of the secret room serial murder case, the murderer of the imitated multi-purpose knife serial murder case, who committed the crime?"

Not without this possibility.

The director nodded, "What you said is also very reasonable. Then the direction of our show this time will start with the serial murder case in the secret room."

"Isn't there a profiler recently? You can contact her and see if she can be interviewed by us."

Mori Kogoro is certainly popular, and can even bring good ratings and traffic.

But because of this, his appearance fee has soared.

Sometimes even because he is busy with the case, there are many programs queuing up to find him. After all, just playing the name "Sleeping Kogoro" can attract a large number of sponsors.

Relatively speaking, the appearance fee of the profiler who is not well-known at present is much cheaper.

Some even give up their pay to be on TV.

Faced with the traffic responsibility of Nimai TV Station, if the other party is smart enough, they may be willing to cooperate with them.

If the effect is good, we can still have long-term cooperation in the future, and if we become famous in the future, maybe we can still play the emotional card or something.

I have to say that the director is really a scheming master.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask our director's opinion."

The reporter covered the microphone, looked up at the director, and said, "Director, she agreed to accept our interview, but she made a request. She can't show her face, and the voice must be processed before it can be played."

"Of course, our radio station has always paid attention to other people's opinions. You can test her bottom line."

"As long as it's not a lion's mouth, we can still try our best to be satisfied, and we can also give each other a good impression. After all, there may be a long-term cooperation in the future."

The reporter nodded, and then said something to the phone.

His expression suddenly became a little surprised, even a little suspicious.

After repeated confirmation, I realized that the other party was not joking, but a very serious attitude and tone.

"she says."

The director's heart couldn't help but lift up.

"Two cases of natural soap."

The director was stunned for a moment, his expression changed from doubt to disbelief: Is it just like this?
This is not something expensive, so the director naturally agreed without the slightest hesitation.

"Don't talk about two boxes, in order to show the sincerity of our radio station, we will give five boxes directly! Or you can send one car, so that she can use it until her [-]th birthday."

But in the end, they still only brought two boxes.

Because Qinghai Chuantang said that if there are too many, her family will not be able to put them down. After all, she only uses them to make soap flakes for fun.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at the appointed time, the two met at Poirot's coffee shop.

Because he didn't show his face, he didn't bring a camera, only the reporter himself.

However, Qinghai Chuantang said that he could consider showing his face with [-] subscriptions.

After receiving the information handed by the reporter, it is not difficult to find after checking that the victims in the secret room serial murder case are all elderly people.

They also have a common feature, that is, they are all tied with knots, and this method of tying is very unique: it is very strong to tie, but it is easy to untie.

Whether it is a serial murder case with a multi-purpose knife or a serial murder case in a secret room, they all have a common feature.

That is, the crime tools they used belonged to the victim's home.

Moreover, the traces were cleaned up very cleanly, and no fingerprints or DNA were found.

"Only the elderly who are weak and easily restrained are selected to commit the crime. According to his crime pattern, it is speculated that the prisoner is likely to be a person with small stature and anti-social personality disorder."

After hearing this, the reporter quickly asked: "So the murderer killed them to swear his strength as a man?"

"If you speculate like this, then the victim this time may not be the murderer of the secret room murder?"

Qinghai Chuantang nodded.

"That's the reason. Didn't you mention the 'Multi-purpose Knife Serial Murder Case' before? And some characteristics are more in line with his modus operandi, so it is more likely that the murderer is this person."

On the second day after the show was broadcast, Qinghai Chuantang received a call from the police, hoping that he could help them find the real culprits of the two cases ten years ago.

The number "ten" seems very strange, and many unsolved cases happened ten years ago.People can't help but wonder what happened ten years ago.

Qinghai Chuantang came to Hase Rong's home.

On-site identification has ended, and no useful clues have been found.

And the surveillance video is also realistic. At that time, no strange person entered Hase Rong's house, as if it appeared out of thin air.

"Mumu Police Department, can you show me the photos and materials of the multi-purpose knife serial murder case ten years ago? Also, are there any witnesses or survivors in these cases?"

After Mumu Shisan nodded in agreement, Kawanishi Mugui handed her the information.

The women in the 22 photos, without exception, were missing a piece of fabric from their clothes, and the exposed parts were scratched with a multipurpose knife several times, criss-crossing.

"Among the 22 cases that year, there was indeed one survivor and the only one."

"When she was discovered, she was hiding in a pile of sundries, and perhaps it was because of this that I escaped by chance."

"But when we wanted to ask her if she had seen the face of the killer, she suddenly left the doctor and even moved out of the apartment immediately, as if someone was chasing her."

The girl's name is Akimoto Tomoko, and her mother's name is Akimoto Chitsu, who disappeared with the girl.

A few years ago, Akimoto Chizu divorced her husband, and she used anonymous phone calls for occasional contact, which could not be tracked down.

But at least for now, Tomoko Akimoto is alive.

If she could get her help, as long as she was willing to stand up and identify the murderer, then things would be much easier.

But since she would suddenly escape from the hospital, she was obviously threatened by something.

If you rush to find her, it is very likely that you will be killed.

Once is lucky, but luck does not necessarily last forever.

"Mumu Police Department. Five of these photos show this old man. Did you investigate his identity at that time?"

Most murderers have the habit of returning to the scene after killing.

Relive every detail of the killing and relive that twisted sense of victory.

If they can't continue to kill for a long time, the aftertaste will become their spiritual food.

Twilight Thirteen nodded.

"The old man's name is 'Terauchi Hitoshi', and he runs a shop called 'Nishi Shoe Repair House'. His wife's name is 'Terauchi Yoshishi', and they adopted a child with some mental impairment, named 'Da column'."

"The two elderly people are both over half a century old, and Ms. Jiashi suffers from lung disease and has limited mobility. They are both sitting in wheelchairs."

"So if any one of them is suspected of being the murderer, it seems very unlikely."

From an ordinary person's point of view, such a combination does not seem likely to commit a crime.

Moreover, the two elderly people are both over a hundred and a half years old. Ten years later, they will be older. How can they have the strength to commit crimes?
Although this is true, his suspicion cannot be ruled out for the time being.

However, have you heard of the name Xi Nei Shoe Repair House?
Putting aside the doubts in his heart for the time being, Qinghai Chuantang began to read the case report carefully.

This is more detailed than the news, because some things will not be made public, so the public will only know a general idea.

The murderer of the multi-purpose knife serial murder case is a little different from the usual serial murderer. He seems to be a guy who simply kills for the sake of killing.

Regardless of gender, age or age, without exception.

Cut around with a utility knife and finally killed by strangulation.

After the body was scrubbed with bleach, the clothes were redressed and the clothing was cut off from the victim's hands.

"Even so, we still conducted an investigation on Mr. Hitoshi at the time, because there was surveillance footage that Ms. Tomoko had entered Nishine's shoe repair shop before she was killed, so we wanted to investigate."

"As a result, Miss Tomoko went to the shoe repair shop just to clean her leather shoes, and did not ask for any useful information."

The thread ends there.

If you want to know the murderer, the best way at present is to find Tomoko Akimoto.

"Investigate Ms. Qianjin's surrounding correspondents, find them and ask them, maybe you will know something. Of course, this method will consume a lot of time and energy."

But after finding them, it's best to protect their mother and daughter, and try to meet them in a concealed manner, otherwise."

"It will cause death." Mu Mu Shisan's expression was serious, "Miss Tang, I understand what you mean."

"I will contact you after I find out her address. They may have some resistance to the police, otherwise, at that time, they should have applied for personal security protection."

Qinghai Chuantang understood what he meant.

Mu Mu Thirteen said solemnly: "Miss Tang, I'll leave it to you."

　Not what happened ten years ago, it just happened to happen ten years ago...
