Well? ”

Sergeant Victor was obviously a little unresponsive and made a questioning voice.

The other detectives, either pensive or with abrupt expressions, seemed to be aware.

"Huh? Mr. Devin Porter, what does that mean exactly? ”

He looked at the gray-haired middle-aged gentleman beside him.

"Sheriff Victor, this is actually a blind spot."

Devonport Vance, who was in a brown suit and had a kind face, chuckled, glanced at Bai Ge, and explained.

"Usually we consider defining a series of cases as serial homicides because of the same modus operandi, but the modus operandi of each case in the Pan-Western Sea Serial Hunt Murder Case is different, and the reason why we define it as a serial homicide case is because there are newspapers with bloody nursery rhymes at the scene."

"If the prisoner didn't want the police to know that this was a serial murder, then he could have left no other traces at all, but he did it, and according to the prisoner's thinking, he wanted the police to reduce these cases to serial murders, and in this case, he must have a deep meaning for different deceased people to adopt different methods."

"I'm right, Mr. Yasen?"

Hearing the other party's analysis, Bai Ge nodded slightly.

It seems that this detective did have two hits.

Bai Ge actually does not use the reverse deduction method like Devonport Vance, Bai Ge directly stands in the perspective of the prisoner, imagining that if he is a pleasure criminal who likes to show off, then why should he kill people in a different way, and leave words.

It's a puzzle.

Bai Ge thought that the prisoner contained a certain law in the murder case, and if he could solve this puzzle, he would either be able to know the identity of the prisoner, or he would be able to predict the location of his next killing.

Thinking of this, Bai Ge became a little more serious.

Because according to the information he knows, among the terrorists currently operating in the Pan-Western Sea, it is very likely that Bi Zhenyan will take this form to commit evil and kill.

He is the new officer of the Order yesterday, taking the place of the [Earthly Python] Yormangund, the fourth-order [Riddler] named Minos, if it were him, it is very likely that he would do this kind of thing while killing people while leaving clues and puzzles for the police.

Moreover, this series of cases is like some kind of name raiding ceremony, although Bai Ge knows that Bi Zhenyan has just been promoted to the fourth rank, but he has been eroded by natural disasters, and his spirit is probably abnormal, perhaps he has been affected by the power of historical fragments and lost part of his personality, so it is reasonable to do this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If this series of cases was really Bi Zhenyan's doing, Bai Ge would have to take it seriously.

Although Bai Ge really wanted to slash the enemy, if he had the opportunity, he didn't mind this guy being bombarded to the slag by artillery.

Of course, the culprit must be found first.

"So, why did the killer use different modus operandi to different people?"

Sergeant Victor asked honestly.

"Well, there are many possibilities, maybe it's the need for some kind of ritual, maybe it's following a certain historical reproduction, or maybe it's just trying to kill people in a completely different way."

Charlotte Austin, an old woman with silver threads combed into three braids, explained with a smile on her lips.

Bai Ge also knew that in the movies of the old era, there were once the seven deadly sins of religion to select the target of the crime, and in the reality of the old era, there were also rippers who specially selected prostitutes to torture and kill, and the killers of the Zodiac Palace who wrote letters to the police with passwords to provoke them.

Some highly intelligent, or extremely confident offenders like to do this kind of provocation to the police.

Even Bai Ge, when he was a monster thief JOKER, liked to make such mocks.

"However, although such a prisoner is difficult, there is also a disadvantage, that is, he will care too much about the rules he has set, and if the police or detectives catch the rules, he will not stop or break the rules, because it means that he admits defeat."

Bounty hunter Henry Lucas shook the ashes of his cigarette.

"Hehe, such a prisoner, reminds me of a guy."

The rich young master Manfred Dannay, who had slightly curly blond hair, smiled.

"Who?"

Sheriff Victor pricked up his ears.

"In Zhuxia some time ago, the thieves who made a lot of noise, sent a notice letter before each crime, and completed the goal with a magical and gorgeous method."

Manfred Dannay spoke quietly.

"I know, I didn't expect there to be such a criminal in this era, and to be honest, it's a shame not to be able to face him head-on."

Bounty hunter Henry Lucas said as he took a deep puff of his cigarette.

"It became famous in just half a year, but then it disappeared quickly after something like that, and it was like a firework."

Charlotte Austin tapped her fingers on the armrest of the chair and said as if with emotion.

"If we can catch that guy, I'm afraid it will be enough to leave his name in the history of crime in the new era, and this criminal is more worthy of the attention of detectives than the crazy people of the Order yesterday."

Knocking on the umbrella in his hand, James Hammond, who had a hooked nose, curled the corners of his mouth.

"Monster Thief JOKER......"

Devonport Vance whispered the name.

"If I hadn't known that this was just a thief and not a murderer, I might have suspected that the strange thief JOKER had come to the Pan Western Sea from Zhuxia to do evil."

“？”

Bai Ge listened with a confused expression.

TURNS OUT THAT THE MONSTER THIEF JOKER IS SO FAMOUS?

You're a little embarrassed to praise me like that...... Despite thinking so, Bai Ge still didn't have anything unusual on the surface, only pretending to be contemplative.

"Let's not mention the matter of the monster thief JOKER, according to the current way of thinking, I think the real purpose and clues of the murderer are hidden in the way of killing the victim."

Devonport Vance switched the slide to the records of the death status of the deceased in each case.

Bai Ge also began to think seriously because of the matter of the [Riddler].

"Is it the date?"

Henry Lucas touched his chin.

"Or is it the week?"

"Wait, here's a problem, on the passenger liner Clios, I remember that there were two murderers in that murder, the two were locked in separate rooms, and after docking the next day, when the police came, they found that the woman was dead, and the man was alive, the murderer should have been able to do either of them at that time, why did he choose a woman?"

Manfred Dannay feels as if he has grasped some key factors.

Was it the reason why you chose to kill Sharon instead of Kingsley...... This is certainly not because the prisoner can't beat Kingsley, he is an ascender, and it should be easy to kill both, which shows that there is something in Sharon that motivates the prisoner to commit a crime, and it must be killed.

Bai Ge looked at the method of death and the list of victims on the slide, and felt that the connection between this might not be so complicated.

"Also, killing methods such as wasp stings and anesthetic gases are themselves very laborious, and it should be meaningful for criminals to adopt such methods."

Old woman Charlotte Austin reminded.

"Is it because of nursery rhymes? Where do the sentences of those nursery rhymes seem to have been taken from, and the prisoner relied on this to commit homicide? ”

James Hammond, who had a hooked nose, muttered to himself.

Wasp sting, anesthetic gas, drowning, suffocation, buried alive, hanging, mercury poisoning......

Anesthetizing gas, drowning, suffocation, and burying alive, and hanging itself are actually almost the same, all of them block oxygen, the same cause of death, why use five different methods to do it?

If it's simply a different form of asphyxiation, then what about wasp stings and mercury poisoning?

York Asacheer...... Ruben Xavier ...... Warren Camille......

These people are not related to their age, gender, or place of residence, so why are they being targeted?

Bai Ge felt that this was like a huge riddle, it seemed that all the conditions had been given, but in fact there was no clue.

At this time, Bai Ge seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and looked at the information documents distributed in his hand again.

This is a document written in Mandarin, which is a mixture of Zhuxia script and Pan-Xihai script.

However, according to the practice of Pan-Western Sea, when names such as names of people and places, they will be marked with the words of Pan-Western Sea, and this is used as the pronunciation.

Bai Ge picked up the pen and wrote down the names of these people in the words of Pan Xihai.

York Azazel.

Ruben Xavier.

Warren Camille.

Veronica Graves.

Upton Brussels.

Ginny Ryze.

Sharon Quentin.

“...... This is the law? ”

Bai Ge found that the first letters of these people's names or surnames in Pan-Western Sea script seemed to follow the flashback of the alphabet.

York's Y, Xavier's X, Warren's W, Veronica's V, Upton's U, Ryz's R, and Quentin's Q.

It's just that the letters Z and S are missing in the middle.

It was the prisoner who left out... Or has the deceased represented by these two letters not yet been found?

While Bai Ge was thinking, he saw the cause of Ruben Xavier's death again.

Coma and subsequent hypoxic asphyxia caused by excessive intake of anesthetic gas, and the anesthetic gas used is not the common ether or laughing gas, but xenon.

Xenon, on the other hand, is a gas composed of xenon elements, and its chemical symbol is Xe, while the standard chemical name in the Pan-Western script is ...... Xenon！！！

Xenon killed Xavier!!

Inspiration struck, Bai Ge used the dictionary of his mobile phone to quickly find the Pan-Xihai text corresponding to other criminal methods.

Quicksilver corresponds to Quentin!

The rope that hangs is the one that corresponds to Ryze!

Underground corresponds to Upton!

The vacuum suffocation of plastic bags corresponds to Veronica!

Drowning (Water) corresponds to Warren!

Xenon anesthesia (Xenon) corresponds to Xavier!

The yellow jacket corresponds to York!

The prisoner took advantage of the alphabet order to murder a person whose name or surname contained the corresponding letter in the same letter!

This means that the next victim should have the letter P in their first or last name!
