Most of the stack were printouts, some of them caricatures, some of them photographs, and some of them newspaper clippings with text attached.

The news in the newspaper clippings are cases of murders that have been discovered by the police and reported by the media, and the printed photos are enlarged versions of the photos in the newspaper clippings.

As can be seen from the news, these cases took place all over the country, and the victims were diverse, including men and women, old and young, covering all ages, with the same different identities, and there seemed to be nothing in common.

The only thing that is the same is that the victims are horrific in death.

"I said, do you really want to watch these things while eating?" Rita flipped through the photos a few times and then stopped, and said with a bad face: "You're pouring my appetite for lunch." ”

"It's... It's a bit of a bad place to watch during a meal. Koller looked slightly better, but his brow furrowed.

He picked up one of the photographs, in which the deceased was a young man in his twenties, lying in a pool of blood, his body separated and brutally dismembered.

Judging from the newspaper clippings, this photo was originally mosaic, but Kidd didn't know what method was used, so he actually found a high-definition version without mosaic, and brought it after printing, and it was being held by Kohler at this time.

In addition to this one, there are many other similar photos, and Koller can find seven or eight photos of the deceased who were killed by dismemberment with a casual search.

At this time, Koller's face was not very good, but Kidd looked as usual, and continued to talk to himself, regardless of their reaction.

"Judging from the reported news, these victims were all killed by the same murderer, the killing methods are the same, and the death is also highly consistent, starting from half a year ago, so far there have been 16 victims, and it is calculated that almost every half a month there will be one person who is brutally murdered."

"I've seen this news before, but it's not necessarily the same person...... Maybe there are copycats, but I can't say for sure? Koller said uncertainly.

"The police have confirmed, and held a press conference to say, this is a nationwide serial homicide case, you must know that for the sake of confidentiality and the need to solve the case, it is impossible for the police to publicize the situation at the scene of the crime, and other people do not know the specific situation of the exemplary crime, the police will definitely be able to distinguish, so in this case, if the police still believe so, it can only show that these cases are indeed committed by the same person."

Kohler nodded, agreeing with Kidd's statement.

"Are you aware of it now?" Kidd pulled a photo and a caricature from the file on his desktop, put them together, and said, "Don't these two look similar?" ”

The photographs and cartoons depict the victim's death, which was inconspicuous when they were first scattered in the pile of papers, and Koller and Rita didn't see anything strange about it, but when they were put together by Kidd, they immediately saw the clue.

Without waiting for them to ask, Kidd pulled out four or five pairs of photographs and caricatures from the pile of papers and placed them in front of them.

After seeing these photos, both Köller and Rita fell into deep contemplation and their expressions became very serious.

"You don't mean to say that these cartoons depicting the death of the deceased were published before the case, do you?" After a while, Koller finally spoke, and said in an uncertain tone.

"You're right." Kidd nodded affirmatively.

Rita had already put down the fork in her hand by this time, she rolled her eyes, and interjected, "Is it... This cartoonist is a murderer? ”

Kidd rolled his eyes, and then said: "You must know that the real murderer has not been found, the police are now under tremendous pressure, not only the pressure from the superiors, but also from the victim's family and the general society, so if he is really the murderer, then he would have been arrested by the police a long time ago, where can he still be allowed to get away?"

Cartoonist Sam Mendes is an out-and-out otaku, he works and lives in his own home, so he usually doesn't go out at all except for necessary circumstances, so three meals a day are solved by ordering takeout, and the person who delivers the food can prove it, so Mendes has an absolute alibi. ”

Hearing this, Köller hesitated for a moment and asked, "So, you mean that these cartoons were drawn before the murder occurred?" ”

"You guessed it right, but I have to correct one thing, this author didn't paint all of these pictures at once, but serialized them in the last issue of "Moonlight Clan", just like those murders that happened one after another."

"Isn't this a predetermined killing?"

"Yes, so to speak."

"That's what you think ......"

"Sam Mendes." Kidd reminded Kohler.

"Yes, Sam Mendes, that's why you think he's a paranormal?"

"A prophet?" Rita interjected.

Kidd nodded, then forked a potato slice and put it in his mouth.

"Don't you think this is a bit far-fetched?" It was Rita who spoke, and she asked another question.

"I was the same as you thought at the beginning, after discovering that there is such a magical connection between the manga and the murder case, I felt uneasy and had a lot of doubts.

What if this Mendes and the murderer knew each other?

What if the murderer communicated with him in advance every time he committed a crime? ”

Köller and Rita listened quietly, their faces no longer as relaxed as they had just sat down.

"It's possible that I'm guessing, isn't it?" Kidd said as he pushed the photos and cartoons on the table.

At this time, the photos and cartoons on the desktop have been placed in pairs, and the similarity of each pair of photos and cartoons can reach 90%, and the difference of 10% is only due to the author's unique painting technique.

Looking at the photos and comics, recalling the content of the comics that Kidd had just introduced, a terrible thought suddenly rose in the minds of the two.

Rita glanced at her boyfriend, who also felt her gaze, telepathically, and Koller knew what Rita was guessing about, so he took the initiative to ask.

"Kidd, if you follow the comic you just mentioned, are all the victims in it ......" Kohler pointed to the table, "All of these victims are Anomalies?" ”

"That's right, I think it's very likely, when the same doubts as yours arise, I started to investigate these victims, and after some investigation, the result is that there is nothing strange about these victims, just like all ordinary people, they go to school, work and live, but after understanding through their neighbors or relatives, I found that there are some strange things about individual victims."

"Strange place?" Rita felt like she had guessed something, and couldn't help but ask.

Kidd took the juice and moistened his thirsty throat, and continued: "According to these neighbors and relatives, they have all seen miraculous things in these victims, some of the victims' hands will suddenly burst into flames, some of the victims will grow long hairs on their faces, and some of them are even more bizarre, that is, the victims' eyes used to be all black and white, and they would glow faintly fluorescent, hehe, like light bulbs. ”

At the end of the day, Kidd made an analogy and made a small joke, but the two listeners looked solemn and did not smile.

"Unexpectedly, we tried to find other companions before, but we couldn't find them, and now we have found them...... But they have all become ......" for a long time, Koller said helplessly.

At this time, the two looked at the photos and cartoons again, and their mentality had become completely different.

Because of his frequent phone calls with Kohler, Kidd knew that he had always wanted to find a companion with the same abilities as himself, so Kidd couldn't bear it before telling them the news.

There was no turning back from the bow, and before the words were finished, Kidd could only continue.

"If Mendes' prophetic abilities are true, then it is possible that the murderer is also a supernatural person, and a supernatural killer who specifically selects supernatural beings to attack."

As he spoke, Kidd pulled out a comic image from his satchel again.

"I said Kidd, if you still have anything to take out, please take it all out at once, you are pulling out again and again, it is clear that you are stimulating us." Kohler looked at his nemesis and said with a wry smile.

"Stimulation? No, no, no, I'm doing it for your own good. Kidd held the picture in his hand, and didn't hand it to them for a long time, but looked at the two seriously: "But don't worry, this is the last one, but before you look at this one, I think you'd better be mentally prepared." ”

For Kidd's repeated emphasis, the two were a little unimpressed.

"There were enough accidents today, so I think we're mentally prepared." The two looked at each other, and Kohler said.

Kidd didn't say anything more and handed over the picture.

"Then, here's a screenshot from the latest issue of Superpower."
