"With less than three days to go until the statute of limitations, do you think the police will be able to catch the culprit? Mr. Pingdong? ”

In the special report program of Daily Sale TV, he did not let go of this 15-year-old unsolved case that embarrassed the police, and made a series of reports to introduce the case, and finally even invited the famous criminal psychologist Hiradong Doji.

Although Gao Cheng has been a detective for so long, he has hardly dealt with criminal psychologists, and when he saw a glasses uncle with coral curly hair and a goatee appearing on TV, he couldn't help but pause the dishes and chopsticks, and Xiao Ai, who was eating next to him, also looked at the TV curiously.

"Catch the prisoner? It's probably impossible to get to the end now......"

In the TV, Ping Dongtang crossed his fingers, and despite his suit and leather shoes, he was dressed as a successful person, and he still smiled like an ancient master and old gentleman, as if he was talking to a prisoner when facing the camera.

"I'm afraid the prisoner has now hid in his room, closed the curtains, unplugged the telephone cord and cut off all contact with the outside world, and shivered under the covers, waiting for the last three days to pass."

"I see, hiding at home?"

"yes, that is to say, when you are near the end of the last hand, try to make yourself as unobtrusive as possible, only come from the cards that you think are safe, and go with the flow......"

Ping Dong Tang talked to the host and pointed at himself confidently: "If this is not the case, come and kill me!" Be prepared for 15 years of hard work to run incognito! ”

Saying that, Ping Dong Tang laughed and said, "But even if he really comes to me, I will prepare a wine to entertain him, hoping that he can introduce me to his criminal mind......"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Pingdong, then this episode is here, the prisoner likes to wear hats, wigs and mustaches, wear big windbreakers, and meet the audience of suspicious characters......"

"Whoa!"

In the kitchen, Gao Cheng was a little absent-minded and put water to wash the dishes.

Serial Murderer......

The world of Conan has all kinds of helpless killings, impulsive killings, and all kinds of motives, but there are also cold-blooded killers, that is, random killings.

There were 3 people who were killed 20 years ago and 15 years ago, and the police couldn't find a common point, and they are all treated as random killings at present, so it caused a lot of commotion when there were only a few days left in the prosecution period.

If the murderer cannot be caught, it will be a blow to the prestige of the police, and it will also bring panic to ordinary citizens.

"That person just now," Xiao Ai appeared at the kitchen door, "that criminal psychologist seems to live in Ayumi's apartment, and he met him in the elevator." ”

"Ayumiya?"

……

"Whew-"

The sirens cycled through the night, and Gao Cheng hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, lifted the cordon in the continuous flashing lights, nodded and greeted several police officers standing guard, and followed Officer Takagi who came out to pick up people and walked straight into the apartment building.

"The victim is Heidong Doji, 41 years old, a criminal psychologist who lives in room 2403, and he was on a news program not long before the accident......"

"What about the cause of death?"

"The cause of death was a cut artery and excessive blood loss, and the murder weapon was a fruit knife in the kitchen......"

"In addition, there are traces of high-voltage electric shock on the back of the neck, and judging from the English letters engraved on the back, I am afraid that it was the serial murderer who killed two people 20 years ago and one person 15 years ago."

"This time the letter is Z......"

Gao Cheng looked at the scene in a deep voice.

The man with glasses who appeared on TV before was sitting in front of the computer desk, his head lying on the table, a large pool of carotid blood flowing, part of it falling to the ground on his lap along the hanging arm, and a bloody "Z" was carved on the back, which looked shocking.

The previous case information,Gao Cheng has already seen it.,There were also cruel letterings on the past victims.,In order of killing, it's ESW.,It doesn't seem to have anything to do with Z this time.,If you look at it horizontally as N, it makes up the English initials ESWN in the southeast, northwest, and northwest.。

Gao Cheng paused and continued to inspect the body.

The bloodstained right hand doesn't know why it's holding the mouse line, and the mouse can't see any special meaning when it's hanging in the hand, but it seems to be hiding something under the left hand on the keyboard, and there are blood stains on the Ctrl key and C key, but there is no blood on the left hand.

"By the way, Officer Twilight, it was ...... who found the body."

"Well," Conan's voice came from behind Twilight, "the prisoner likes to whistle the Beatles' Let it be song, isn't that said on TV and in the newspapers?" Because Officer Twilight just said that it was not a copycat crime. ”

Gao Cheng's face darkened, and before he could speak, Twilight subconsciously replied: "At the time of the first and second crimes, someone saw such a whistling man near the murder scene, but we didn't disclose this matter to the media, otherwise it would be easy to imitate ......"

"I see," Conan touched his chin and smiled at Gao Cheng, "Because I happened to come to Ayumi's house, some people said that they saw the suspect, so I wonder if Mr. Hirato had an accident." ”

“……”

"But it's really strange, it's clear that the prosecution period is over," Twilight muttered in confusion, "Is that expert's statement excessive?" ”

"So, he said that the prisoner must have hid in his room and shivered, waiting for the statute of limitations to be established, and said that if he had the guts, he would come and kill him."

"Moreover, Mr. Hira-dong has repeated similar statements in newspapers and weekly magazines, so perhaps this is the motive for this killing......

"It's just a provocation."

After listening to the explanations of Chiba and Sato's subordinates, Twilight also broke out in a cold sweat, and looked at the miserable corpse of Heido with a strange expression.

"And then? Mr. Pingdong went home after the live TV? ”

"Yes, the live broadcast ended at 4 or 5 o'clock, and Mr. Pingdong rushed home immediately, and it is said that he made an appointment with a friend at his home...... We have investigated Mr. Pingdong's friendship and have not found any suspicious characters. Shiratori explained.

Speaking of which, Shiratori is already a police department, and he can already take charge on his own, but he still goes to the police with the seniors of Twilight, plus Sato, Takagi, and Chiba on the side, so many people have been dispatched from Twilight's department, which shows the importance of this case.

Gao Cheng settled down, and was about to ask for more details of the case, when Conan next to him suddenly took away the victim's left hand on the keyboard and said: "Maybe the prisoner is someone related to photocopiers and the like, because there are blood stains on the keys under Mr. Pingdong's left hand, look at ......"

"Ahh Conan! Takagi hurriedly hugged Conan, who was moving the corpse, with a helpless expression.

Conan is indeed not an ordinary child, but he can't distinguish the occasion and likes to mess around at the scene of the murder......

"It doesn't matter," Shiratori said, seeing the blood on the keyboard, "Conan is not an outsider, but a little assistant to the castle. ”

Gao Cheng did not explain out loud.

It doesn't matter if Conan uses him as a shield or not, anyway, this guy won't really destroy the murder scene, all the way to the present, he and Conan have cooperated more times than competed, and even Conan can be called half of his master.

What made him concerned was this case.

The victim left a message of death, and in order to avoid misunderstanding by the police and avoid being discovered by the murderer, he blocked the keyboard with his left hand that was not stained with blood.

The Ctrl key and the C key, together are the copy function.

What does replication mean?

Imitate?

Gao Cheng's gaze fell on the victim's body again.

The blood on the back of the corpse stained red is unusually conspicuous, not only the whistle of the prisoner, but also the fact that the back of the corpse is engraved by the police has not been announced, but it does not mean that absolutely no one knows.

So it's too early for Officer Twilight to say that he wasn't a copycat.

It is worth noting that the fourth murder case occurred 15 years later, just when the prosecution period was approaching, and the blood on the back was also weakly related to the previous one.

Isn't it really a copycat crime?

There are only a few days left, and if the imitation case is treated as a continuous case, and the vigilance is relaxed, I am afraid that the real murderer will really escape......
