During dinner time, Asuna, as a member of the academy, was still asked to take an assessment. Of course, she was also asked to cook a few more dishes.
For ordinary students, such a high-intensity assessment may affect their performance, but for Asuna, it is not a big deal. After all, no matter what the state, the food this guy cooks will always have the same taste.
, even if you tell her that the earth will explode in the next second, her taste in food will not change in any way.
Because the exam was not difficult, Linton estimated that Asuna would have no problem, and indeed, there was no unexpected incident.
The third day of residential training soon came. Linton, who got up in the morning, was originally going to follow yesterday's rhythm and find someone to challenge him and have a meal. However, before he could start looking for someone, Aizen found him first.
Got him.
"Have you checked the situation?" Linton asked, looking at Aizen who had returned.
"The case information from two and a half years ago is all here." Aizen handed over a dozen document bags, which should all be case information.
Linton opened the first copy and read it. After just reading the beginning, he lost his patience and said directly to Aizen: "Just tell me directly."
Aizen probably knew this was the case, so he began to briefly describe what was probably a serial murder that happened two and a half years ago.
"There were fourteen cases in total, with fourteen victims. They were roughly divided into three times." Aizen said, "The first to fifth cases occurred within six days in April two years ago, almost one on a day.
Then there was an interval of two months, and the sixth to twelfth episodes occurred. This time the interval was 20 days. Then came the last two episodes, about three days after a month. And until now, there is no fifteenth episode.
happens."
As Aizen spoke, he began to spread case-related information and photos on the table next to him. The photos were mainly photos of the victims, including those at the scene and personal photos. The piles were classified into piles for Linton to see.
When I saw some situations that were like solving crimes in detective movies, I suddenly became interested.
At this time, Linton suddenly noticed something, that is, the conditions of the victims in the murder scene photos in these photos, and the death conditions were somewhat eerily similar.
Seeing that Linton noticed this, Aizen said: "The most obvious feature of this series of cases is that the victim's mouth was cut open from the corner of the mouth, probably with a sharp instrument such as scissors, so in this series of cases
It was directly called the 'crack girl incident'."
"Slit-mouthed girl?" Linton had heard some Japanese urban legends, and of course he knew about the split-mouthed girl. After looking at the photos Aizen had posed, he found that they looked quite similar.
"There were 10 males and 4 females among the victims. There were no particularly obvious gender selection characteristics. The oldest was 61 years old and the youngest was 19 years old. There were no age selection characteristics. There were not many similarities between the victims. They seemed to be similar to each other.
I don't know each other, and it looks like a randomly selected crime." Aizen continued, "If I have to talk about common points, in addition to the fact that these people all live in Tokyo, there is also the fact that after JING's visit, they found that these people
Their character is not very good."
"For example, this person is a member of a club and is responsible for collecting money. And this person is a professional liar." Aizen pointed at the two victims and said, "The relationship between these two people is quite complicated, and they have a lot of enemies.
, the investigation team at that time spent a lot of effort investigating their personnel relationships and arrested several suspects, but in the end they were all let go."
"Two and a half years have passed, and there are still no clues about the murderer. The investigation team has been disbanded long ago. This case is now a dusty case." Aizen said.
"But the case file was specially sealed and stored, right? Why?" Linton asked. If it hadn't been for the special sealing and storage above, Aizen would not have noticed this case.
After all, although there were many victims, this case sounded like a serial murder case. Linton really couldn't see why this case would be paid special attention to by the people above.
"It is said that there were circumstances in this case that cannot be explained by science." Aizen said, "In the twelfth incident, there was a survivor."
"Are there any witnesses? Did you see something supernatural?" Linton asked.
"Yes, before that, this case had been investigated as an ordinary serial murder case. It was not until this survivor appeared that the case was taken over by people from the ZHENG government, and the file was sealed directly after that." Lan.
Ran said.
"What's the specific situation?" Linton asked.
"According to the survivor, the murderer was a tall and thin woman with a beautiful appearance, except for her mouth. The corners of the murderer's mouth also seemed to have been cut with scissors, and not only that, the woman
She can also open her mouth to a considerable extent like a snake. And this woman seems to have some particularly powerful strength, being able to lift the twelfth victim weighing about 85 kilograms with one hand." Aizen said.
.
"Uh... is it like a real slit girl?" Linton couldn't help but said.
"That's right." Aizen nodded. Then he took out a piece of paper with a simple sketch on it. "This is the portrait of the murderer drawn at that time based on the witness's confession."
Linton took a look and saw that she was probably a long-haired beauty, but her mouth was quite ferocious. It looked like she was based on people's imagination of a girl with a slit mouth.
"The girl with a cracked mouth." Linton touched his chin, "Is she really a girl with a cracked mouth? It would be great if she was real."
If it is really the Rift Girl, then we have found the right direction. But it is obviously not certain yet. Linton thought for a while and said: "Where is this survivor? Have you asked him?"
"That's him." Aizen pointed to another photo and said, "He is the thirteenth victim."
"What? In other words, he survived for a month and then was killed by the murderer?" Linton said.
"That's right." Aizen nodded, "He should have been silenced."
"The murderer will still silence himself. It seems there is not much bottom line." Linton nodded and said, "So assuming this person is an investigator, what is his purpose of killing, and does it have anything to do with the investigation? What kind of world needs to rely on killing people to survive?
Exploring? You can't just be a murderer, right?"
Linton thought as he continued to flip through the information on the table: "Has anything been eaten on the victim's body? Or was his blood sucked?"
"No, it's just a murder case." Aizen said.
"Having a headache. Judging from the behavior, it doesn't look like something the investigators did." Linton said, "Let Asuna come back and input the information first."
