"It's less than three days before the prescription is established. Do you think the police can catch the prisoners? Mr. Pingdong? "

In the TV special report program of Japan sales, the 15 year long outstanding case that embarrassed the police was not let go. A series of reports were made to introduce the case. Finally, the famous criminal psychologist Ping Dongtang was invited to make a speech.

Although Gao Cheng has been a detective for such a long time, he hardly has any contact with criminal psychologists. Seeing a spectacle uncle with coral curly hair and goatee beard appear on TV, he can't help but stop eating. Xiao AI, who has a small bite to eat next to him, also watches TV curiously.

"Catch the prisoner? It should be impossible now that we are approaching the end of the line.... "

Ping Dongtang in the TV crossed his fingers. Although he was dressed in suits and shoes and dressed up as a group of successful people, he still laughed like an ancient master or an old gentleman. When he faced the camera, he seemed to be talking with the prisoner.

"I'm afraid the prisoner is hiding in his room now. He has drawn the curtain, pulled out the telephone line and cut off all external contact. He is shivering under the quilt and waiting for the last three days to pass."

"I see, hiding at home?"

"Yes, that is to say, in the last game near the end, try not to attract attention, just from the card that you think is safe, and go with the flow..."

Ping Dongtang talked with the host, confidently pointed to himself: "if not, come and kill me! Prepare for 15 years' hard work of running around in anonymity, which will be destroyed once it is over! "

Then Ping Dongtang said with a smile: "but even if he really comes to me, I will prepare wine for him. I hope he can introduce his criminal psychology to me..."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Pingdong. That's the end of this program. Prisoners like to wear hats, wigs, beards and big windbreaker when they see suspicious people..."

"Wow!"

In the kitchen, Gao Cheng is a little absent-minded about washing dishes.

Serial killers

Conan world has all kinds of helpless killing, impulsive killing, all kinds of motives, but there are also cold-blooded killers, that is, random killing.

There are still three people who were killed 20 years ago and 15 years ago. The police can't find any common ground. At present, they all treat them as random murders. Therefore, when there are only a few days left in the prosecution period, they cause a lot of riots.

If we can't catch the murderer, it will be a blow to the prestige of the police, and it will also bring panic to ordinary citizens.

"Just now that man," Xiao AI appeared in the kitchen door, "the criminal psychologist seemed to live in the apartment of Bumei family, and met him in the elevator."

"Bumeijia?"

……

"Wu --"

The sound of the police siren circulates in the night. Gao Cheng pushes aside the crowd in a hurry, lifts the warning belt in the flash light, nods to several police officers on guard, and then follows Gao mu, who comes out to pick up people, straight into the apartment building.

"The victim is Ping dongtangci, a 41 year old criminal psychologist living in room 2403. He was on the news program not long before the accident..."

"And the cause of death?"

"The cause of death was a severed artery and excessive blood loss. The murder weapon was a fruit knife in the kitchen..."

"In addition, there are traces of high-voltage electric shock on the back of the neck. Judging from the English letters engraved on the back, it's probably the serial killer who killed two people 20 years ago and one person 15 years ago."

"The letter is Z this time..."

Gao chengchensheng checked at the scene.

The man with glasses, who appeared on TV before, was sitting in front of the computer desk with his head lying on the table. The blood from the carotid artery flowed a lot, and some of it fell down on the floor of his legs along his drooping arms. Moreover, a bloody "Z" was carved on the back, which looked shocking.

Gao Cheng has read the information of the previous case. In the past, several victims also had cruel lettering. According to the order of the victims, ESW is in order. It seems that it has nothing to do with the Z this time. If n is seen horizontally, the initials ESWN in Southeast and northwest are put together.

Gao chengdun, continue to look at the body.

The right hand stained with blood doesn't know why it holds the mouse line. The mouse hanging in the hand can't see any special meaning. Instead, it seems that there is something hidden under the left hand on the keyboard. The blood is stained on the CTRL and C keys, but there is no blood on the left hand.

"By the way, officer Mumu, it was..."

"Well," Conan's voice came from behind his eyes, "the prisoners like to whistle the Beatles' LetItBe. Hasn't that been said on TV or in the newspapers? Because just now officer Mu Mu said it was not a copycat crime. "

Gao Cheng's face turned black. Before he spoke, he subconsciously replied: "at the time of the first and second crime, someone saw such a man whistling near the scene of the murder, but we didn't disclose it to the media, otherwise it would be easy to imitate..."

"So it is," Conan touched his chin and said with a smile to Gao Cheng. "Because he happened to come to Bumei's house, someone said he saw the suspect, so I wonder if it was Mr. Pingdong who had an accident."

"..." but it's really strange. It's clear that the prosecution period is going to pass, "murmured Mu confused." is that expert's speech too much? "“ Well, he said that the prisoner must be shivering in the room, waiting for the time limit to be established. He also said that if he had the courage, he would come to kill him. "“ Moreover, Mr. Pingdong has repeated similar statements in newspapers, weekly magazines, which may be the motive for the killing... "It's provocative." After hearing the explanation of Chiba and Sato's subordinates, Mu Mu is also sweating, looking at the miserable corpse of pingdongtang, looking strange“ so what? Mr. Pingdong went home after the live TV broadcast? "“ Yes, the live broadcast ended at 4 or 5 o'clock, and Mr. Pingdong rushed home immediately. It is said that he made friends in his own home... We have investigated Mr. Pingdong's friendship, and no suspicious person has been found. " The white bird explained. White bird is already the police department. It can take charge of its own affairs, but it still goes to the police with Mu Mu. With Sato, Takagi and Chiba on the side, Mu Mu's Department has sent out so many people, which shows the importance of this case. Gao Cheng calmed down and was about to ask for more details of the case. Conan suddenly took the victim's left hand off the keyboard and said, "maybe the prisoner is related to the copier, because there is a key under Mr. Pingdong's left hand stained with blood. Look..." "ah! Conan Gao Mu is in a hurry. He hugs Conan, who moves the body in disorder. He looks helpless. Conan is really not an ordinary child. He just can't distinguish between the scenes. He likes to mess around at the scene of a homicide case too much... "It doesn't matter," white bird said when he saw the bloodstain on the keyboard, "Conan is not an outsider, but also a little assistant of the city." Gao Cheng didn't explain. It doesn't matter whether Conan takes him as a shield or not. Anyway, this guy won't really destroy the scene of the homicide. Up to now, he and Conan have won the competition in terms of the number of times of cooperation. Even Conan can be called half a master. What he cares about is this case. The victim left a death message, and in order to avoid misunderstanding by the police and being found by the murderer, he blocked the keyboard with his bloodless left hand. The combination of the CTRL and C keys is the copy function. What does replication mean? Imitation? Gao Cheng's eyes fell on the victim's body again. The blood words on the red clothes on the back of the corpse are very conspicuous, not only the whistling of the prisoner, but also the engraving on the back of the corpse, which has not been announced by the police, but it does not mean that no one knows. So it's too early for officer Mumu to say that he is not an imitator. It is worth noting that the fourth homicide happened 15 years later, just when the prosecution period was approaching, and the correlation between the blood words on the back and the front was weak. Isn't it really a copycat crime? There are only a few days left. If we imitate the case and treat it as a continuous case, and relax our vigilance, I'm afraid the real murderer will really escape
