On September 5, a body was found under a cliff.

The corpse was so decomposed that it was impossible to make out its face.

According to his driver's license, it was confirmed that the deceased's name was "Yanagawa Domoto", male, 30 years old, who loved gambling.

There is a younger sister named "Yanagawa Himetsuki".

On September 6, a body with its head wrapped around duct tape was found, in a manner similar to the previously concluded "tape serial murder case", and the cause of death was the same.

The deceased's name is Yanagawa Himetsuki, female, 24 years old, restaurant girl.

When you leave your place of work.

Between 0:00 and 1:30 on September 6, he returned home and was killed in the Hiroshi District.

At 1:41 a.m. on the 6th, a man suspected of being the first person to be found at the scene of the crime, or the murderer, reported the crime.

On September 7, Qinghai Chuantang received a commission to help find his girlfriend who had been missing for a day.

The client's name is Masahiko Kuramoto, and his girlfriend's name is Shinoda Yunatsu.

In the photo, she has long hair and a face of her first love.

Coupled with the appearance of a bright smile, it is hard not to make people feel good.

The traces of the computer are cleaned clean, as if the system has been restored to its original state.

The cupboards, wardrobes, and drawers are neatly arranged, as are the rest of the house, as if a professional housekeeper had been hired.

But there is also a feeling of over-tidy tidying, like someone who is determined to travel far away.

"Mr. Kuramoto, don't you have any photos between the two of you?"

The photo frames on the table are all solo photos of Shinoda Yunatus, and even the photos posted on the small blackboard are only their own.

"Of course there is. It's just that I don't know why she did it all of a sudden. Could it be, what did I do wrong to accidentally make her angry again? ”

Masahiko Kuramoto looked a little puzzled and a little self-reproachful.

He sighed, "Actually, I noticed something was wrong with her about three months ago. ”

"First of all, a month ago, she unilaterally proposed to break up, and a few days ago, even the phone was turned off."

In the interrogation room -

"Mr. Duff. Where were you between 0:00 and 2:00 a.m. on September 6th? ”

"In the middle of the night, of course, at home."

"Colleagues in the forensics department say that there is a 67% chance of DNA being extracted from these cigarette butts."

Kawanishi said as he placed a transparent bag on the table, which contained a large number of cigarette butts.

"So what are the odds of extracting from so many cigarette butts? Shall we save some effort, or should we choose a laborious solution? ”

It's just a matter of time.

"I said I said."

Ohara Dofu hurriedly said: "At about one o'clock, I was in a bad mood at the time, so I went for a walk over there......"

"Where is that? Is that where you are smoking a cigarette and peeping at Miss Himetsuki? ”

"Yes, yes."

Ohara looked a little nervous, "But when I found the woman, she was dead, and her face was covered in duct tape. ”

"What color is the tape wrapped around Miss Himetsuki's face?"

"What?"

Ohara Dofu was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to ask such a question.

After thinking about it, he replied, "It's green, it's the kind of tape used when moving and used to seal boxes." ”

Kawanishi Muji smiled.

"Mr. Duff, are your eyes telescopes? Even from such a distance, you can know the color and type of tape clearly. ”

Ohara Dove hung his head.

Because he understands that he can no longer quibble.

Dofu Ohara is a family man with a child who has just started elementary school.

But he has a hobby, which he has always kept secret from his family, afraid of being known...... That is, voyeurism.

This is the only way to excite him.

At Ohara Dofu's home, a camera used as a voyeur was found.

Judging from the time when the photo was taken, the time when Yanagawa Himezuki died with a bandage around his head was 1:22 in the morning.

In addition to the photos in the camera, a large number of candid photos were found in Ohara Dofu's computer, all of which were of Yanagawa Himezuki...... There are also photos of her entangled with a man.

It is Yanagawa Himetsuki's older brother, Yanagawa Domoto.

September 8th. Kawanishi Muqi found Qinghai Chuantang.

When a bunch of photos were thrown in front of him, Qinghai Chuantang showed a confused expression.

"The tape serial murder case is not over yet."

When he heard this, Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly picked up the photo on the table to check.

"I remember, didn't I catch the murderer before? Did he escape from prison? ”

"If you say he can live up the mountain, he's still in prison. This time the tape murder case reappeared, and I suspect that there was more than one murderer in the tape murder case back then. There have been cases in the past seven or three years, so it is likely that the previously captured Shangshan can survive, but he is only one of the murderers. ”

"Is there a picture of the deceased?"

Kawanishi Muji silently took out a photo from his arms, put it in front of the other party, and said: "The deceased's name is Yanagawa Himetsuki, female, 24 years old. ”

Looking at the woman in the photo, Qinghai Chuantang couldn't help but be stunned.

Because this face is exactly the same as Shinoda Yuxia's.

"Have you had a DNA test and confirmed that the deceased was 'Yanagawa Himetsuki'?"

Kawanishi nodded.

Qinghai Chuantang put Shinoda's photo of Shinoxia on the table, "If that's the case, it's identical twins." Because the origin is the same, the DNA of both will be the same. ”

"No fingerprints are the same, so if you check your fingerprints, it will be more accurate."

So, not the murderer of serial murders, but the imitation of the crime.

In '94, the two were placed together in a maple leaf nursery.

Sister Xixia 95 years, sister Ji Yue 97 years, were adopted to different places.

As Qinghai Chuantang said, the two are indeed identical twins.

At the same time, after investigation, the fingerprints of the corpse did not match those taken from the room.

In other words, it was her sister Yuxia who was killed, not Ji Yue.

After many years, my sister finally found her sister, but found that her sister was squeezed out of money and sucked blood. What's the mood? I'm sure I'm going to kill that guy. ”

"So the murderer of Yanagawa Tang's case is already very clear, and that is Miss Yuxia."

Takagi nodded, so logically speaking, it does make sense.

But there is also a doubt, "If my sister thinks so much about my sister, why does my sister kill my sister?" ”

"Because, I want to replace my sister and live as her."

Takagi was stunned for a moment, "Instead?" Do you say ......"

Xixia, the sister who was adopted by a good family, gave her the best because of the superior family conditions of her adoptive parents.

And after Xixia grew up, she did not live up to the expectations of her adoptive parents, and became a "talented girl" in the mouth of everyone, and also became the object of envy of many people.

At the same time, she also has a handsome boyfriend, who also has a superior family background.

The two have even reached the point of talking about marriage.

After Ji Yue, who was adopted by an ordinary family, her life was originally plain, and she was peaceful...... If being harassed by his adoptive father is considered to be peaceful, then maybe it really is.

Fortunately, her brother always stood up to protect her.

After becoming an adult, Ji Yue became a restaurant girl.

Although my brother has a serious job, he is very fond of gambling.

If you can't repay the loan on time, you will find a way to squeeze your sister to make money.

Although they are sisters, their lives have taken diametrically opposite paths.

Is it because of this reason that the sisters, who have been separated by seventeen years, hate each other so much that they must kill each other?

On September 9, Qinghai Chuantang came to the bar where Yanagawa Jiyue worked.

She was met by a woman dressed in a bewitching outfit.

I'm leisurely applying my nail polish to a color that matches the name of the bar – Black Rose.

"She's not usually managing clients, and she doesn't like to dress up much. And when you are resting, you know to soak in wine all day long. ”

As she spoke, the woman stopped.

"I once kindly advised her to be ruthless and escape. But you know what she said? ”

Qinghai Chuantang shook his head.

"She said that if it weren't for the presence of that brother, she would have died long ago."

After thanking her, Qinghai Chuantang found her other colleagues to understand the situation.

"You say Ji Yue? I remembered that I was asked once and said that I wanted to find another job and would not do it. ”

"I think I want to open a flower shop or how to get there. It's strange to say, I've known her for three years, and it's the first time I've heard her talk about her plans for the future. ”

"Do you know that she has other relatives besides her brother? Or rather, sisters or something? ”

The short-haired woman thought for a moment and shook her head, "I've never heard of it." ”

After leaving the bar, Qinghai Chuantang drove to the Maple Leaf Nursery School.

"Although they are twins, the two are very different."

The teacher said as he rummaged through the cupboard. Finally found a videotape and said with a smile: "So it was here, I found it." ”

There is a photo album in front of Qinghai Chuantang, which includes a photo of Ji Yue and Xi Xia.

Whether it is clothing, hairstyle or appearance, they are extremely similar, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is carved out of a mold.

She was a little curious about how the teacher distinguished the two.

In the black and white picture, there is a little girl holding a star-moon stick waving up and down.

"Moon Prism Power, Transform!"

Then, the picture flashed and changed to a girl in a puffy skirt, holding a star and moon stick in a circle, dancing excitedly.

"The child I saw at the beginning was my sister Ji Yue. And the child I see now is my sister Xixia. ”

"I took away Xixia's adoptive parents because I saw this performance at the time, and I liked it so much."

As he spoke, the teacher couldn't help but smile.

After all, lively and cute children are often perceived as energetic and more likely to attract people.

"Since my sister was adopted, what about my sister?"

The teacher's expression froze visibly, followed by a sigh.

"The child was a little quiet, not as cheerful as the sunset. Since then, there have been fewer words. ”

This seems to make sense.

"Do you have any special memories of the sisters?"

"Well...... this"

The teacher thought about it carefully, "If you have anything to say, there is indeed such a thing. ”

"Actually, the parents who adopted Xixia originally preferred a child named 'Sakura Rei'."

"However, when the adoption procedures were being carried out, the child was suddenly scalded by boiling water and was rushed to the hospital for treatment."

"Although everyone didn't say it explicitly, they all suspected that Ji Yue was probably intentional."
