People are in Tokyo, there is a wishing machine

Chapter 6 Serial Murder Cases

In Nishio Maryu's heart, Mika Kanbara is the real flower of Gaoling. Even if she marries a certain super elite in the future, it is likely that the man will marry into the Kanbara family.

In her eyes, this guy Hirozawa Higashino is simply worthless, even unworthy to lift Mika's shoes.

But Mei Xia was confused by this guy's rhetoric for some reason, and she liked this guy very much.

Every time when talking about this guy, Mika's expression of happiness makes Nishio Mairyu jealous.

She has a close relationship with Mei Xia and has known her for many years, but she has never seen her show such an expression.

If it wasn't for Meixia's last words to ask her to help look after Higashino Hirosawa in the future, and Chiwa couldn't even lose her father, she wouldn't have looked at this guy more!
Masato Nishio became more and more angry, he couldn't help stepping on the accelerator hard, and the car started to speed up in the rainy night, flashing past under the street lights, drawing dark swaying red marks one after another.

When Nishio Maliu returned to the Chiyoda Metropolitan Police Department, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.

The lights on most floors of the Metropolitan Police Department have been extinguished, and only some corridor lights are still on.

However, on the third floor, the large conference room with the "218 Serial Murder Case Investigation Headquarters" hanging on it was still brightly lit, and several police officers were still busy sorting out various materials.

Nishio Maryu pushed the door open and went in. A middle-aged man with cross-legged legs in front of the meeting room looked up at her.

"Come back, what's the matter with that kid, is he injured?" Matsumoto asked casually. He is one of the management officers of the first search section and is currently the head of the 218 serial homicide investigation headquarters.

"Injured? Minister Matsumoto, you don't really believe his nonsense, do you! I think he spent all his money in the port area, even the travel expenses, so he went to the police on purpose!"

Nishio Maryu couldn't help but slander and said.

Being sunk into Tokyo Bay, the person was not injured but lost his memory, what about cheating ghosts?
I don't know how many people like this kind of people pretend to lose their memory to avoid responsibility in Tokyo in a year!

Hearing this, Matsumoto shook his head: "It seems that you really don't want to see him. When you were out, I just found a report to the police not long ago. At around 5 o'clock in the evening, on the beach of Tokyo Bay Someone saw a suspicious speedboat. According to the caller, someone on the speedboat seemed to be being beaten. However, when the operator asked for more details, the caller said that the light was insufficient and the distance was a bit far away. Maybe he was wrong. Without further information, the operator just jotted down the lead."

Matsumoto took out a piece of clue information.

The 218 Serial Murder Case Investigation Headquarters was established four days ago.

About three months ago, on February 2, an old man in his 18s, surnamed Uraya, was killed at home in the middle of the night in Seta District, Tokyo.

There are many wealthy people in Setagaya District. The family of the murdered old man Pu Gu was good, and he lived with his children. Pu Gu was killed in a deep sleep.

Pugu's neighbor had agreed with Pugu the day before to go for a walk in the park, but the doorbell did not answer in the morning, and they chose to call the police after no one answered.

The police came to the door and found that Pu Gu had died at home, and then sealed off the scene.

The murderer seemed to want to dismember the corpse and take it away, but for some reason, he gave up halfway through the dismemberment, making the scene look particularly cruel.

But except for the dismembered body, other parts of the scene were cleaned up by the murderer, and the people of Kesouyan did not find any useful clues.

There were also some surveillance cameras in the surrounding streets, but because it was night, the murderer seemed to know the area well. After checking all the videos, he couldn't find a suspicious person.

The case has become an unsolved case, and it can only be shelved temporarily until further clues are found.

Tokyo has a population of more than 4000 million, and there are hundreds of homicide-related cases every year. Most of the cases can be solved quickly, but there are always a few that are more troublesome. The criminal police of the Metropolitan Police Department have long been used to it.

Cases happen every day, and they can't send everyone to keep an eye on one case.

More than a month later, on a rainy night on March 3, someone was killed at home again in the middle of the night.

The person who was killed this time was a 53-year-old woman in Wenjing District, surnamed Baiye, who lived alone and was unmarried. She worked in the folk industry when she was young and seemed to have made a lot of money. Five years ago, I opened a small convenience store on the first floor of my house.

On the morning of the 28th, the neighbor came to the convenience store to buy breakfast.

Usually at this time, Bai Ye had already opened the store, but the store was quiet that day. The neighbor wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door had been damaged. After calling Bai Ye, no one answered, he called the police.

Like the Pu Gu murder case, the scene where Bai Ye was killed was also very clean. Except for the dismembered corpse, nothing was found at the scene, and the surrounding cameras didn't seem to exist.

And because it was a rainy night, there were even fewer clues left by the prisoner than at the scene of Pugu's death.

The detectives of the Metropolitan Police Department have noticed that the two cases may be related, which may be a serial murder case.

However, the two scenes are very far apart, and there is not enough evidence at the scene to prove this argument. More importantly, there are no clues to solve the case.

Another month later, on April 4, another homicide occurred.

And this time the person who died was not a middle-aged and elderly person living alone, this time the deceased was a young female high school student living in Arakawa District.

Unlike the first two victims, Yoshiko Hashimoto, the deceased in the third case, did not live alone. She lived with her parents.

However, Yoshiko Hashimoto’s mother won a luxury travel ticket for two people worth 30 yen in the mall shopping lottery a week ago.

The grand prize of 30 yuan, Hashimoto Yoshiko's mother has never been so lucky, just approaching the May Day Golden Week, Hashimoto and his wife decided to go abroad on May Day after some planning.

Originally, I should have brought Yoshiko Hashimoto, but there were only two tickets, and Hashimoto was already in the third year of high school, and had already entered the intense state of further studies. After going to play for a week, I didn’t know how far behind others would be.

After discussion, the family decided that when the couple went abroad, the mother-in-law in the country would come to take care of Hashimoto's diet and daily life.

However, Hashimoto and his wife set off on April 4, and the mother-in-law will come over the next afternoon.

I thought it would be just one night, nothing would happen.

But I never expected that at noon on the 30th, Hashimoto's mother-in-law came over and found that Kako Hashimoto was mutilated all over the floor in the room, and immediately ran out in horror and shouted for help.

Hashimoto’s home was near Arakawa High School. At that time, a high school baseball team had just finished a friendly match at Arakawa High School and was going to a nearby ramen shop to replenish their energy.

When Granny Hashimoto yelled for help, a group of passionate high school students rushed in with baseball bats in their hands, and then a large group of them were terrified to vomit.

The incident alarmed everyone around. When the police arrived, an unknown number of people had already entered the scene. The bloody photos of Kako Hashimoto's dismemberment even spread wildly on the Internet.

A female high school student was murdered and mutilated in her own home in the middle of the night, near the university!
This news can be described as horrifying, because there are countless people in Tokyo who meet the same conditions.

Kako Hashimoto can be brutally killed like this, what about them themselves?
But what made people even more alarmed was that after three days of fermenting the news, someone connected it with the two previous homicides after some analysis and comparison, turning the nature of the case into a serial homicide.

As soon as the news came out, the citizens of Tokyo could not help but turn from panic to panic.

Many people yelled at the police for what they were doing, squandering taxpayers' money, but even a serial murderer couldn't be found.

A large number of reporters surrounded the Metropolitan Police Department, but one day later, the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, under tremendous pressure, had to hold a press conference to announce the establishment of a case investigation headquarters to catch the criminal as soon as possible.

Matsumoto, who was born as a criminal police officer, is very experienced in handling such cases, and was eventually elected as the head of the case investigation department.

However, Mr. Matsumoto knew that this was only a secondary reason. The real reason was that the case was too difficult, and other management officials didn't want to get involved, so the matter naturally fell on him in the end.

Don't look at the three murder scenes, but let's not talk about the first two scenes, there are very few clues.

The third scene was even more severely damaged. Even if the criminals left clues, they would not be able to find them.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department established the case investigation headquarters not only to respond to the voices of the citizens, but also because this time, they were really sure that the three cases were indeed committed by the same prisoner.

In the first two cases, only the murder scene was handled cleanly and the body was dismembered. Other than that, the criminal police couldn't find any common ground in terms of the identity of the deceased or the relationship between them.

It was not until Hashimoto Kako was killed and the three cases were linked together that they finally found a new clue.

After Pugu and Baiye were killed, their bodies were mutilated.

In fact, a piece of their heart was missing from both of them.

The same is true after Kako Hashimoto was killed, and the missing heart parts of the three can just piece together a complete heart!

But the discovery was nothing more than that, and it was completely impossible to find the prisoner through this.

If new and strong clues are not obtained, and the criminal shrinks back and stops taking action, the chances of the police solving the case are still very slim.

The fact is also the same. After the establishment of the search headquarters, the number of people involved in the case increased greatly, but after four days, very few useful clues were found.

At present, it is only speculated that the murderer may have high academic ability, knows how to counter-reconnaissance, and is very familiar with the structure of the human body.

In Tokyo, which has more than 4000 million people, there are many people who meet this condition. If you want to screen out possible suspects, even if you can find them, it will take a lot of time.

Under such a predicament, Mr. Matsumoto had to go into battle himself, using his experience as a criminal police officer to see if he could discover something from the existing evidence.

"Minister Matsumoto, do you know something else about this guy, otherwise why do you take care of him so much?"

Masao Nishio took the document and glanced at it, and then couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Not normal, so abnormal!
As a member of the search headquarters, Masao Nishio knew very well that the current situation of the case was not good, which can be described as being overwhelmed.

If it was another manager, it would be too late to worry about the case, and he would not care about Hiroze Higashino's life at all.

But Minister Matsumoto paid as much attention to Higashino Hirosawa as she did, even more than her!
