Wow…
The Yokohama Stadium is buzzing with people. People are watching a domestic football league. There are more than 20,000 people at the scene. The mountains are roaring and the tsunami is roaring, and the momentum is magnificent...
In the corner of the stadium, Masako Yangshan was reading a document to Zhao Yu.
"Well," Masako introduced, "I got it with the help of a lot of connections and a little money! Similar cases happened in Manila in 1994, New York and Amsterdam in 1993!
"Because of the age, detailed case information is difficult to find, but in these cases, the victims were all young women, and their left ears were cut off by the murderer after death..."
"Well..." The information was all in English, and Zhao Yu couldn't understand it himself, so he immediately said, "In this way, including Bangkok, New Delhi, Tokyo, Seoul and Toronto...
"If the murderers are all the same person, then this left-eared killer killed at least 8 girls, and in just 5 years, he is another murderous demon!"
"Yes," Masako said, "We still don't know if similar cases have occurred in other cities or other times. There may be more than 8 cases!"
"Toronto, Bangkok, New Delhi..." Zhao Yu said thoughtfully, "In addition to the capital, they are international cities. Was this murderer specially selected?"
"Detective Zhao," Masako asked in surprise, "I have always wanted to ask, has there been any similar cases in your country
"You can focus on the capital or international metropolises such as Magic City and Yunzhou..."
"Well..." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "I have already asked, but the case is too complicated and we are still searching..."
Wow…
Because a goal was scored on the court, the scene was filled with cheers and the atmosphere was explosive.
"Let's reorganize our thoughts," Zhao Yu opened his notebook and said, "Thirty years ago, there was a killer who, before arriving in a big city, found a young woman as his target, killed her, and then cut off the victim. ears…
"Moreover, there is no trace of violation, just to kill people, just to cut off ears...
"So...why did he do this?"
"Abnormal..." Masako said, "What else can be explained? Besides, I like your idea. The murderer is probably an artist, and Van Gogh is his idol!
"So, we only need to check which paintings or art exhibitions were held in these cities that year, and maybe we can find out who the murderer is!"
"But..." Zhao Yu frowned, "Why do I feel that things are not that simple?"
"Why does it have to be complicated?" Masako asked, "The murderer committed a crime every time he came to a city, but because he entered the country temporarily and left quickly, it was difficult for the police to investigate in that era of underdeveloped technology!
"And because of the lack of information, it is difficult for people to imagine that this would be a shocking international serial murder case!"
"Wait..." Suddenly, Zhao Yu remembered something and opened his notebook and said, "I remember that at the scene of Pingcheng Xinjia's murder, traces of burned charcoal and white candles were found, right?"
"Yes," Masako said, "In addition to these, I also found some burned scraps of paper. It should be that the murderer held some kind of ceremony at the scene!"
"Sacrifice... sacrificial ceremony?" Zhao Yu pondered, "What does he want to express?"
"I don't know this, but," Masako said, "if you kill a girl before arriving in a city, I can guarantee that the victim and the murderer don't know each other!"
"That's natural," Zhao Yu said, "I read the previous reports and the victims all suffered accidents because they went out alone at night, so the murderer should be a random victim!
"However, he held a ceremony at the murder scene and burned charcoal and lit wax. This is obviously against common sense..."
"Oh, it's true!" Masako understood what Zhao Yu meant, "You kill people late at night, and you burn charcoal and light wax. Wouldn't it be easier to be discovered?"
"Also, the victim's hands were all cut and had wounds," Zhao Yu added, "He made it clear that he wanted to drain the victim's blood. When he did this, it seemed like he was performing a ceremony!"
"A blood sacrifice? I... Then I'll go back and check it out," Masako said, "Look at the evil religious secrets in the world, are they related to blood sacrifices?"
"Masako, let's do this!" Zhao Yu said, "For the time being, we will continue to investigate according to my previous ideas. It is difficult for us to start with other countries. However, can you help me check that during the murder of Heicheng Xingjia, your Tokyo What art exhibition is being held?”
"Oh... Well, this is indeed a good idea! But..." Masako said, "After all, it's so old, I can't guarantee that I can find it!"
"It doesn't matter," Zhao Yu said, "The deceased's left ear disappeared. I think it was probably taken away by the murderer as a souvenir!
"But carrying someone's ears through customs is also quite dangerous, right?"
"Hmm..." Masako tried to follow Zhao Yu's train of thought, "What you mean by that is that the murderer isn't worried that his ears will be discovered?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu said, "I heard that in those days, high-standard works of art did not require security inspection. Do you think the murderer took advantage of this loophole?"
"Oh..." Masako finally understood what Zhao Yu meant, "You mean, the art exhibition related to the case must be of a large scale, right?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded and said, "You should be able to find out about such an exhibition, right?"
"Ahem!" Masako nodded vigorously, "Zhao Sang, leave this matter to me! I'm so excited. If we can find that art exhibition, we might find the murderer!
"If the murderer can be found, the Sunflower case can be solved, and a world-famous case can also be solved, then my column will be great!
"I can even publish a book, oh no, a series of books, called "Blood Sacrifice" or "Girl Killer in Metropolis". It will definitely earn enough eyeballs, wow..."
Seeing Zhao Yu wiping his sweat, Masako realized her situation and hurriedly explained awkwardly: "Hehehe, I'm sorry, I'm so excited!
"Detective Zhao, from the moment we met in Seoul, I knew that you are my god of luck. I believe that we can definitely find this international killer! Don't worry!"
After saying that, Masako bowed cheerfully again, then said goodbye to Zhao Yu, turned and left the stadium stands.
At this moment, the football match is coming to an end. The players are all fighting hard on the court, and the audience in the stands are also in high spirits and even sang songs...
When Masako walked away, Li Benzheng appeared like a ghost.
"How is it?" Zhao Yu asked casually without even glancing at him, "No one is following us, right?"
"Yes," Li Benzheng nodded and said, "We are safe! However, I have bad news for you..."
"Huh?" This time, Zhao Yu had to look directly at Li Benzheng, "What's wrong?"
"I've already checked the art exhibition you mentioned!" Li Benzheng grabbed a handful of popcorn and said, "During the time when Nobuoka Heijo was murdered, there were no high-profile exhibitions held in Tokyo at all..."
