Net King Whale Fall

In the end, the three of them appeared collectively at the gate of the autopsy room of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department.

Alice shrugged, so, did it make a difference?

Kudo Shinichi helplessly supported his forehead, Hattori Heiji choked speechlessly.

"...It's getting late, let's go see the victim first."

Of course Alice would have no objection, this was her purpose.

Because the police determined that these cases were serial murders, they said that all the corpses from other urban areas were brought here. In the middle of the night, the victims were covered with white cloths and lay straight on the steel plate. The room was also gloomy, like the source of ghost movies.

Alice took a slight breath, ah, this familiar smell.

There is also someone on duty in the dissection room, who is an acquaintance. Although Alice doesn't know the forensic doctor, she can't stand her reputation. Everyone knows her, so it's unimpeded.

There are many causes of death of the victim, but undoubtedly, the difficulty of dissection of the charred autopsy ranks among the top few. What's more, the body was destroyed beyond recognition, and a lot of evidence was burned, which also increased the difficulty of solving the case.

Alice put on the disposable rubber gloves, it doesn't matter, she has no other advantages, she just likes to face difficulties, the more difficult the more difficult, the more she likes it.

Alice went to check one by one, and the smell of carrion and burnt meat in her nose became stronger and stronger, and this smell was absorbed on the clothes for a long time.

Some of these victims died of suffocation caused by thick smoke, some directly killed by air flash explosions, and some suffered from organ failure caused by gas poisoning. But without exception, their skull bases had marks of impact with hard objects, and there were marks of bone fractures everywhere on their bodies, and these wounds from intentional beatings were not fatal.

So the murderer did this because of his lack of physical strength, and wanted to subdue the person in the first place, or other means of revenge.

The first stick can be understood as a surprise attack, and the remaining ones are too obvious to vent their anger.

Most importantly, all the tibias of these victims were broken, which was left on purpose by the murderer and unique to the murderer.

This kind of behavior has a more serious meaning of venting anger.

According to the autopsy report, Alice can roughly analyze that these murders were committed with a purpose, and it was aimed at these victims.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he broke into the victim's aggravation, beat the victim severely, and finally unscrewed the gas tank to cause an explosion accident.

The murderer is a male, about 1.7 meters tall, thin, with an independent range of activities, about 30-35 years old, and his relationship with the victim is an enemy.

This is Alice's conclusion from all the corpses. The murderer is obviously taking revenge on them, no matter men, women or children, they will treat them uniformly without any distinction.

There is another question, Alice tapped on the table with her fingertips, why did she use the method of gas leakage in the end?
Wouldn't it be more convenient and trouble-free to set it on fire directly?No matter how bad it was, judging from the autopsy, the murderer could have beaten them to death directly, so why did they bother in the end?

It cannot be disguised as an accident, and the traces of the beating will not disappear due to charring. The act of opening the gas tank must be very important to the murderer.

Alice threw the rubber gloves away, "Have you found any connection between these victims?"

Hattori Heiji shook his head, "No, they don't know each other, they don't have the same friends, and the scope of work is also different. It can be said that they are complete strangers."

"Two of them are elementary school classmates, but after checking, they don't know each other at all. They are not in the same class, have no contact with school activities, and their family members don't know each other."

Alice thought about it, but she didn't know each other, but the cause of death was the same, and the method of death was the same. Is there such a coincidence in the world?
There must be something else that they haven't discovered, maybe it's too subtle to attract their attention.

Another point, "In the past ten years, how many gas explosions have been recorded in residential buildings in Osaka City and nearby counties?"

Accidents such as gas explosions occur almost every year, and it is a big project to integrate all of them within ten years.

Hattori Heiji glanced at the victim and said, "It's already being sorted out, and it will be ready by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"Okay, let's go to the scene of the crime tomorrow morning, just the latest one."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

As soon as Alice turned her head, she saw Kudo Shinichi with his hands in his pockets and a serious face, and asked casually, "What are you thinking?"

Kudo Shinichi was silent for a few seconds, "Tell me, they don't know each other, under what circumstances can they do something that the murderer hates, and they can hate to the point of brutal killing."

Alice: "According to past experience, the truth is often unbearable."

"Thinking so much now will only affect your judgment. It's better to go back and have a good rest, and think about how to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

Hattori Heiji lowered his head to look at Kudo, and then carefully looked at Rei Sanada. He really had the illusion that the sun was coming out from the west.

Oh, Sanada Ling actually said some comforting words, even if you don't listen carefully, you can't hear them.

Kudo Shinichi was also a little shocked for a moment, feeling as if the dialogue was reversed.

Alice understood, then rolled her eyes at the two of them, turned around and left first, who is it?

Kudo Hattori laughed in the back, really.

Early the next morning, the three of them showed up at the home of the latest victim, specifically a home that had been burnt to nothing but an empty shell.

Okusaburo, 45 years old, is a small employee of a securities company. He has been in the company for more than ten years, and he still holds the same position.

The relationship between husband and wife is also simple. The wife is a housewife with a son and a daughter. They have been noisy for so many years. Although life is poorer, it is still a normal life for normal people.

Judging from his life, this person is at best a bit of a low-mouthed person, with the image of a petty citizen, and he dare not do anything illegal or criminal.

If you put it all together, Okusaburo really had no motive to be killed.

But everything can't be so absolute, after all, it's a fact of death, and everything else is just guesswork.

Alice looked around in the ruins, and finally settled her eyes on the two suspicious scratches on the ground. They were all black, but they were burned hard, and they could be seen from different angles.

Kudo Shinichi also noticed this, and also squatted down.

Alice observed for a long time, "Tell me, does this look like a knee mark?"

It's a bit of a stretch to say that, because the traces on the ground are only half-way, and the rest disappears on the burnt plastic.

In the event of a fire, firefighters need a high-pressure spray gun to fight the fire. The ready-made evidence is easily washed away under the action of water pressure. Others may ignore it for various reasons, but these two traces are enough for Alice to suspect.

Kudo Shinichi was connected to Sanada Ling's train of thought almost instantly, "We still need other evidence from the scene to prove it."

Hattori Heiji had already pressed his hand on the phone, "I'll go investigate the previous dossiers."

"By the way, there is a crime scene not far from here, and we can go there now."

Alice stood up and said only one word, "Go." (End of this chapter)
