41 Jack the Ripper
"That's right......"
At this time, while Gao Yuan was thinking about what vulnerabilities he could exploit in the R&D department workspace he was in now, he continued to chat with Yusaku Kudo:
"Definitely. The serial murder incident that had a significant impact a hundred years ago, after how many people traced it down and still couldn't find the real 'Jack the Ripper', this is indeed a subject that we who love detective reasoning can't refuse, and there are countless related literary creations......
"It's just that, compared to the story about 'Jack the Ripper' in the script, do you think there will be a day when the truth will be revealed for this serial murder incident a hundred years ago in reality?"
In this way, it seems to be unintentional, but in fact it is intentional, Gao Yuan's question asked about the core question in the original work, about this case related to Sindora Company-
The story in the original book involved two deceased: one is Hiroki Sawada, a teenage genius who committed suicide by jumping off a building two years ago, and the other is Hiroki Sawada's biological father, Tadahito Kashimura. The reason for the death of the two, in the final analysis, is because they know that Thomas Sindora, the chairman of Sindora Company, is actually a descendant of the serial murderer "Jack the Ripper" a hundred years ago.
Briefly recall the relevant plot of the original work -
At that time, because he could not adapt to the environment in Japan that suppressed the growth of children's individuality, the genius boy Hiroki Sawada was brought to the United States to study and live, and was adopted by Thomas Sindora, the chairman of Sindora Company, a leading company in the IT industry today.
And after Sawada Hiroki was adopted, there was an accident, when Thomas Sindora took Sawada Hiroki to visit his collection, Sawada Hiroki saw a seemingly ordinary dagger lined up with some other very precious antique exhibitions, so the curious Hiroki asked about the origin of this dagger.
As a result, Thomas Sindora unintentionally revealed to Hiroki that the dagger was suspected of being "Jack the Ripper".
I thought this was something that could not be verified, but unexpectedly, Hiroki developed the "DNA Tracking System", which is a system that can trace the blood of ancestors through human skin and blood information.
And, in order to experiment with this system, Hiroki took the dagger to test, and accidentally discovered the connection between the blood stains on the dagger and Thomas Sindora.
So, in order to prevent the secret of his bloodline from being discovered, Thomas Sindora set up the strictest police protection for Hiroki and imprisoned him in disguise.
As a result, until that day, after Hiroki successfully developed the "Noah's Ark", the imprisoned Hiroki chose to end himself.
As a result, the genius boy died early, although Hiroki was committed suicide in essence, but his father Kashimura Tadabin wanted to understand the real reason for Hiroki's suicide, so he invited his friend Yusaku Kudo from his college days, and asked Yusaku Kudo to secretly investigate the truth of Hiroki's death as a detective.
Then, until the day of the release of "Cocoon", because Tadahito Kashimura also knew about Thomas Sindora's unknown background, and refused to sell the "DNA tracking system" entrusted by Hiroki to Sindora in order to hide the truth about his background, Thomas Sindora killed Tadahiro Kashimura.
Therefore, the cause of the whole story in the original work can be attributed to the blood of Thomas Sindora and his "Jack the Ripper".
According to the original book, Hiroki collected all the information he could muster, and it turned out that the DNA detected from the dagger was consistent with one of the victims of the "Jack the Ripper" incident, and that the victim was related to Thomas Sindora.
As a result, "Noah's Ark", who discovered the truth of the whole incident, later invaded the game of "Cocoon", rewrote Yusaku Kudo's script about "Jack the Ripper", and rewrote the real plot into the game, so as to reveal the secret of Thomas Sindora's bloodline, thus completing Hiroki's revenge.
However, it is impossible for me to say such a secret thing directly, so after thinking about it, I plan to direct the topic to the core issue of the whole thing-
That is, the real-life "Jack the Ripper" incident.
After all, Yusaku Kudo, as a detective who was actually invited by Tadahiro Kashimura to investigate the cause of Hiroki Sawada's death, may have discovered the clues in this regard.
In this regard, hearing Takato talk about this, Kudo Yusaku also seemed to be interested-
"What about the real-life 'Jack the Ripper' incident? Well......
"How can I say it? After all, it is an event that has passed a hundred years, and most of the relevant clues investigated at that time have been made public and have been discussed to this day, so it is impossible for new clues to emerge in this case......
"Unless there is new and conclusive evidence that can be unearthed from the existing evidence, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach a conclusion about this incident."
Saying this, Yusaku Kudo touched his chin with one hand and couldn't help but think:
"And, the most critical problem is that even if new evidence is excavated, it is the most regrettable thing that we are no longer able to verify this matter. No matter how convincing the evidence is, it cannot be perfected after all if it cannot be verified. ”
"Even if there is DNA evidence?"
I agree with Kudo Yusaku's statement, but I still ask this question-
Because the original work proves that Thomas Sindora is a descendant of "Jack the Ripper", it is the seemingly irrefutable DNA evidence.
It's just that, as Yusaku Kudo said, even if it's DNA, you can't verify it at this time.
It's like in his original world, the layer that caused a commotion about the real identity of "Jack the Ripper" was found out and relied on the latest DNA technology, but after all, there are still different opinions about the identity of the murderer, and there are too many possibilities.
In this regard, Gao Yuan, who was thinking like this, tentatively asked Kudo Yusaku about his attitude on this matter, and Kudo Yusaku also nodded:
"Even if it's DNA evidence."
With such a firm answer, Kudo Yusaku said seriously:
"Even if we can now find DNA evidence from the evidence left behind in those years that does not belong to the victim but is suspected of being the murderer 'Jack the Ripper', even if the owner of the DNA is found through this evidence, we cannot be 100% sure that the DNA evidence was left by the murderer. In the absence of verifiable this, even if there is a 1 percent or less probability that the whole thing could cause such an outcome, we can't rule it out, can we? ”
In this way, Gao Yuan also nodded affirmatively-
That's right, just like nowadays, even DNA can be verified several times in succession or there is a possibility of fraud, let alone only one DNA proof?
Thinking like this, Takato's mind couldn't help but recall the Hokkaido incident, the fake "Mitarai Kyosuke" who pretended to be the original.
Even the blood drawn directly from him can be fake.
When a single piece of evidence cannot form a complete chain of evidence, the strength of proof is very limited.
Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Gao Yuan's mind...... (End of chapter)
