In Nishio Mahiru's heart, Kanbara Mika is the real flower of the high mountains. Even if she marries a super elite in the future, it will most likely be the man who marries into the Kanbara family.

In her eyes, this guy Higashino Hirosawa is worthless, and he is not even worthy of carrying Mika's shoes.

But Mika was confused by this guy's sweet words for some reason, and she liked him very much.

Every time she talked about this guy, Mika's face looked happy, which made Nishio Mahyu jealous.

She has a close relationship with Mixia and has known her for many years, but she has never seen her show such an expression.

If it weren't for Mika's last words, asking her to help look after Higashino Hirosawa in the future, and Chiwa who couldn't even lose her father, she wouldn't have given this guy a second look!

The more Nishio Mahiru thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but step on the accelerator, and the car began to speed up in the rainy night, flashing under the street lights, leaving a series of swaying red dark marks.

When Nishio Mahiru returned to the Chiyoda Metropolitan Police Department, it was already early ten o'clock in the evening.

The lights on most floors of the Metropolitan Police Department have been turned off, with only some corridor lights still on.

However, the large conference room on the third floor with the banner "218 Serial Murder Investigation Headquarters" was still brightly lit, and several police officers were still busy sorting out various information.

Nishio Mahyu pushed the door open and walked in. A middle-aged man with his legs crossed in front of the conference room looked up at her.

"You're back. How is that kid? Is he injured?" Matsumoto asked casually. He is one of the management officers of the Investigation Section 1 and currently serves as the director of the 218 Serial Murder Case Investigation Headquarters.

"Injured? Director Matsumoto, you don't really believe his lies, do you? I think he spent all his money in the port area and even lost his travel expenses, so he went out of his way to call the police!"

Nishio Shinryu couldn't help but cursed.

Someone was sunk into Tokyo Bay. He was not injured but lost his memory. What about the ghost?

There are countless people like this in Tokyo who pretend to have amnesia to evade responsibility in a year!

After hearing this, Matsumoto shook his head: "It seems that you really don't want to see him. When you were out, I happened to find an alarm clue that was sent to me not long ago. At around 5 o'clock in the evening, on the beach of Tokyo Bay

Someone saw a suspicious speedboat. According to the caller, someone on the speedboat seemed to be being beaten. However, when the operator asked for more details, the caller said that the light was insufficient and the distance was a bit far, so he might have seen it wrong.

Without more information, the operator just recorded the clue."

Matsumoto took out a piece of clue information.

The 218 Serial Murder Investigation Headquarters was established four days ago.

About three months ago, on February 18, a man in his 60s named Uraya in Seta-ku, Tokyo, was killed at home in the middle of the night.

There are many rich people in Setagaya District. The old man who was killed, Uraya, came from a good family and did not live with his children. Uraya was killed in his sleep. The murderer was cruel. After the murder, he plundered all the money from the old man's family.

Ugu's neighbor made an appointment with Ugu to go for a walk in the park the day before. When there was no response to the doorbell call in the morning and no one answered the call, he chose to call the police.

The police came to the door and found Uragu dead at home, and sealed the scene.

The murderer seemed to want to dismember the body, take it away and discard it, but for some unknown reason, he gave up and left halfway through the dismemberment, making the scene look particularly cruel.

But except for the dismembered body, other parts of the scene were treated very cleanly by the murderer, and the investigators did not find any useful clues.

There are also some surveillance cameras in the surrounding streets, but because it was night, the murderer seemed to know this area very well. After checking all the videos, he could not find a single suspicious object.

The case became an unsolved case and could only be shelved temporarily until further clues were found.

Tokyo has a population of more than 40 million, and there are hundreds of murder-related cases every year. Most cases can be solved quickly, but there are always a few that are more troublesome, and the detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department have long been used to it.

Cases happen every day, and they can't send everyone to focus on one case.

More than a month later, on a rainy night on March 27, someone was killed again at home in the middle of the night.

The person who was killed this time was a 53-year-old woman from Bunkyo District, whose surname was Baiye. She lived alone and was unmarried. She was engaged in the custom industry when she was young. She seemed to have made a lot of money. She bought the three-story one-family house where she lives now and built a house in it.

Five years ago, I opened a small convenience store on the first floor of my house.

On the morning of the 28th, my neighbor came to the convenience store to buy breakfast.

Usually at this time, Baiye had already opened his store, but that day the store was quiet. The neighbor wanted to knock on the door, but found signs of damage to the door. After calling Baiye and no one answered, he called the police.

Like the Uraya murder case, the scene of Kashiwa Ye's murder was also very clean. Apart from the dismembered body, nothing was found at the scene, and the surrounding cameras seemed not to exist.

And because it was a rainy night, the clues left by the prisoner were even fewer than at the death scene of Urayani.

Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department have noticed that the two cases may be related, and this may be a serial murder case.

However, the two scenes are very far apart, and there is not enough evidence at the scene to prove this argument. More importantly, there are no clues that can solve the case. The case can only be followed by people first, and no further action can be taken.

And another month later, on April 30, another homicide occurred.

And the person who died this time was not a middle-aged or elderly person living alone. The person who died this time was an eighteen-year-old female high school student living in Arakawa Ward.

Unlike the first two deceased persons, the deceased Yoshiko Hashimoto in the third case did not live alone. She lived with her parents.

However, Hashimoto Yoshiko’s mother won a luxury overseas trip for two worth 300,000 yen in a shopping mall lottery a week ago.

With a grand prize of 300,000 yuan, Hashimoto Yoshiko's mother has never been so lucky. It happened to be the May Day golden week. After some planning, Hashimoto and his wife decided to go abroad for a holiday on May Day.

I was supposed to bring Hashimoto Yoshiko with me, but there were only two tickets, and Hashimoto was already in his third year of high school and had already begun to enter a tense state of study. After a week of fun, I didn’t know how far behind others he would be.

After discussion, the family decided to ask their mother-in-law from the countryside to take care of Hashimoto Yoshiko's food and daily life while the couple went abroad.

However, Hashimoto and his wife will leave on April 29th, and my mother-in-law will not come over until the afternoon of the next day.

I originally thought that it would be just one night and nothing would happen.

But I never expected that at noon on the 30th, Hashimoto’s mother-in-law came over and found Yoshiko Hashimoto in the room with her body dismembered all over the floor. She immediately ran out in horror and shouted for help.

Hashimoto's home is near Arakawa High School. At that time, a high school baseball team happened to finish playing a friendly match at Arakawa High School and was going to a nearby ramen shop to eat ramen to replenish their energy.

When Granny Hashimoto shouted for help, a group of enthusiastic high school students rushed in with baseball bats, and then a large group of people were frightened and vomited wildly.

The incident immediately alarmed everyone around him. By the time the police came, no one knew how many people had entered the scene. The bloody photos of Hashimoto Yoshiko’s dismemberment even spread crazily on the Internet.

A female high school student was killed and dismembered in her own home in the middle of the night, near the university!

This news is very shocking, because there are countless people in Tokyo who meet the same conditions.

Hashimoto Yoshiko could be brutally killed like this, but what about themselves?

But what makes people even more alarmed is that after three days of fermentation of the news, someone after some analysis and comparison, connected it with the two previous murder cases, turning the nature of the case into a serial murder case.

As soon as this news came out, the citizens of Tokyo could not help but turn from panic to panic.

Many people are cursing what the police are doing, squandering taxpayers' tax money, but not even a serial murderer can be found.

A large number of reporters gathered around the Metropolitan Police Department, but one day later, the senior officials of the Metropolitan Police Department, under tremendous pressure, had to hold a press conference to announce the establishment of a case investigation headquarters to capture the prisoner as soon as possible.

Matsumoto was a criminal police officer and was very experienced in handling such cases, and was eventually elected as the head of the case investigation headquarters.

However, Matsumoto knew that this was only a secondary reason. The real reason was that the case was too difficult and no other administrators wanted to get involved, so the matter naturally fell on him in the end.

Despite the fact that there are three murder scenes, I won’t talk about the first two scenes, as there are very few clues.

The third scene was even more severely damaged. Even if the prisoner left clues, there would be no chance of finding them.

However, the Metropolitan Police Department established the Case Investigation Headquarters not only to respond to citizens' calls, but also because this time, they were truly sure that the three cases were indeed committed by the same prisoner.

In the first two cases, the only common point in the two cases was that the murder scene was cleaned and the body was dismembered. Other than that, the criminal police could not find any common points in terms of the identity of the deceased or the interpersonal relationships.

It wasn't until Yoshiko Hashimoto was killed and the three cases were connected that they finally found a new clue.

After Uraya and Kashiwa were killed, their bodies were dismembered.

In fact, both of them were missing a piece of their heart.

The same was true after Hashimoto Yoshiko was killed, and the missing heart parts of the three people were just enough to piece together a complete heart!

But the discovery was nothing more than that, and it was completely impossible to find the culprit through this.

If no new strong clues are obtained and the criminal shrinks back and stops taking action, the chance of the police solving the case is still very slim.

This is also true. After the establishment of the search headquarters, the number of people involved in the case increased significantly, but after four days, very few useful clues were found.

At present, it is only speculated that the murderer may have high academic ability, know how to counter-reconnaissance, and be familiar with the structure of the human body. He has considerable strength, and the dismembered corpses are neater than the last.

In Tokyo, a city with more than 40 million people, there are many people who meet this condition. It would take a lot of time to screen out possible suspects, even if they can be found.

Under such a predicament, Matsumotoji had to personally go into battle and use his criminal police experience to see if he could discover anything from the existing evidence.

"Director Matsumoto, do you know something else about this guy? Otherwise, why would you take such good care of him?"

Nishio Shinryu took the information and glanced at it, and then couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

Abnormal, so abnormal!

As a member of the investigation headquarters, Nishio Mahryu is very aware that the current situation of the case is not good, and it can be described as being overwhelmed.

If it were another manager, it would be too late to worry about the case, and he would not care about Higashino Hirosawa's life or death.
