12 Copycats

"It's getting more and more incompetent."

At a distance from the small park, in a black Porsche 356A, Gin sat in the passenger seat, holding a cigarette, looking in the direction of the small park, and said coldly.

"Jiichiro Numabuchi, sure enough, I sent it to Shirley for human experiments."

He took the cigarette from his mouth with his fingers, spit out the smoke, and Gin continued to say coldly:

"Even a model crime has made so many twists and turns."

As he spoke, Gin suddenly glanced in the rearview mirror of the car and saw a woman running behind the car. Ginjiu couldn't help but show a sneer.

At this time, the vodka in the driver's seat also saw the people walking behind the car through the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"Big brother, why did that woman appear in ......"

"Leave her alone."

Gin said coldly, "Has she been in contact with Shirley these days?" ”

"Nope."

"Recent surveillance personnel have reported that Shirley has not been in contact with the outside world. ”

"Hmph. That's for the best. ”

Gin said coldly.

"But, big brother. Mitsui's apartment is now guarded by the police, and we can't get in now. ”

Vodka said with some concern.

"Don't worry."

Gin said indifferently, "Since that woman is planning to escape, there will be no clues left in her apartment. ”

Putting the cigarette back in his mouth, Gin said silently, "The information of 'Kondo' has been confirmed, and this woman's value is gone." It's a pity that it took so long, and the 'legendary killer' turned out to be a fake. ”

"But big brother, compared to these, these peripheral members have been really restless recently, from the beginning of the one called Furukawa, to today, every time we have to clean up the aftermath, it's a waste of time."

Vodka said angrily.

After saying this, the two of them didn't say anything more, started the car and left here.

Early the next morning, Gao Yuan was woken up by a mobile phone ringtone, and the caller ID was Takagi Shibu.

"Hello? What's the matter? Officer Takagi. ”

Picking up the phone, Takato asked.

"Ah, it's not that important."

It seemed that he heard Gao Yuan's still a lazy yawn, and Takagi Wataru said embarrassedly.

"Just wanted to confirm one more thing with Mr. Wise."

"You say."

After sobering up for a while, Gao Yuan said.

"That, the deceased last night, the 'Mitsui Apartment' that she said before she died, is the place where she was attacked, right?"

Wataru Takagi asked.

"Yes, yes. I asked a bunch of questions, but they didn't answer, and it wasn't until I asked where she was attacked that she said, 'Mitsui Apartments.'" ”

Gao Yuan said, "So this 'Mitsui Apartment' answered the location of her attack, and there should be nothing wrong with that." What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this? ”

"No, if Mr. Wise is so sure, then there should be no problem."

Wataru Takagi said with some ambiguity.

"Then let's do it for now, and don't bother you, Mr. Wise."

After saying that, Wataru Takagi hung up the phone.

In this regard, Gao Yuan was a little helpless, and Takagi called coldly to confirm the matter, always feeling that the police should have found something wrong during the investigation.

However, this was the case at the time, and after Miss Imako asked where the other party was attacked, the other party's answer should have been the answer to the corresponding question.

But what's wrong with that?

With this doubt, Takato got up, clicked on the computer, and used the crawler software he had written before, and asked him to start looking up news reports on the Internet about serial killings in Tokyo, and searched for "women with glasses" as the keyword.

After setting these up, Gao Yuan let the program run on its own for a while, and Gao Yuan himself went to prepare for washing.

Soon, Gao Yuan returned to the computer after doing this, and at this time, a large amount of information had been searched out by the software and sorted out.

This information is categorized chronologically.

Takato took a closer look and found that so far, not counting the deceased last night, the bespectacled woman who was killed in Tokyo so far, there are five cases of death scenes similar to what I saw last night.

The first victim died on August 31.

The second victim died on September 8.

The third and fourth victims died on September 30, two of whom died.

The fifth victim died on November 8.

That's all you can see on the news, and counting last night's incident, there are currently six deceased.

Judging by the performance of the police, these incidents should have been treated as serial homicides, but there does not seem to be such a statement in the news reports, and it seems that the Metropolitan Police Department has done a pretty good job of keeping this incident secret.

There are news reports on several cases, and the information written is extremely limited, and if I didn't rely on the crawler software to find it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sort out such a comprehensive information.

It's just that now when the occurrence time of these cases is put together, Gao Yuan always has a sense of déjà vu.

At this time, the doorbell of Gao Yuan's house rang.

When I went out, I found that it was Kudo Shinichi who was ringing the doorbell of his house, and Mao Liran was also there.

"Hey, Mr. Wise!"

Said hello, Kudo Shinichi.

"What's the matter? Kudo-san, and Maori-san? ”

Gao Yuan came to the door, opened the door for the other party and asked.

"Isn't this a matter of the two days of the school trip, Xiaolan said that she must thank you well, so she made some snacks and said that she would give them to you."

Kudo Shinichi said.

"I just made some casually, I don't know if it's to your taste, Mr. Wise."

Mao Lilan handed the package he was holding to Gao Yuan and said.

"This ...... Thank you very much, and I like the snacks very much. ”

Although he didn't look at what was inside, Gao Yuan replied politely.

"It would be nice if Mr. Wise liked it."

Xiaolan said, "By the way, the coupon from that store last time hasn't been used up yet, if Mr. Wise is free, let's go over and eat together today!" ”

"Okay, I'm fine today anyway."

Gao Yuan said, looking at the two high school students in front of him, and then remembered that today is the weekend again.

Put the snacks sent by Xiaolan into the refrigerator, and Takato went out, ready to set off with Kudo Shinichi and Mao Lilan again.

On the way, Takato was still thinking about the serial killing, and it was a little strange that he would be familiar with the time of the crime, so after thinking about it, he suddenly asked Kudo Shinichi on the side.

"By the way, Kudo-san, for August 31, September 8, September 30......"

"And November 8th?"

Before he finished speaking, Kudo Shinichi suddenly interrupted Takato's words with a somewhat confused voice.

"Yes, there's November 8th!"

Gao Yuan couldn't help but pause, and when he saw what Kudo Shinichi should know, he asked, "Speaking of these dates, what do you think of." ”

Hearing Gao Yuan ask, Kudo Shinichi suddenly showed a smug smile:

"Does that need to be said? These dates are the days when the murderer killed people in the Jack the Ripper case that happened in London a hundred years ago! ”

After hearing this, Gao Yuan was stunned - yes! It's Jack the Ripper! This case also exists in this world! I didn't even think about it for a while!

No, wait a minute!

I remember the case of Jack the Ripper, after the events of November 8, the murderer disappeared, and there was no similar murder modus operandi in London.

If the timing of the serial murders that happened in Tokyo was deliberately done by the murderer, in order to imitate the case from a hundred years ago, there should not have been last night's incident!

Could it be that —

Last night's incident, was it committed by a copycat?
