Chapter 491 Brainstorming

Riku Ren didn't know that Toru Amuro was ready to fight a protracted war with him.

He still believes that Bourbon's purpose of coming to Tokyo this time is still the same as the original work, which is to come for Akai Shuichi.

He never thought that he himself would become one of Tohru Amuro's targets. Even to an important extent, he stabilized Shuichi Akai.

The appearance of Bourbon means that the plot of Conan has officially entered the middle and late stages.

Lu Ren didn't pay much attention to this stage of the plot at all. Even if he watched it, he would skip it.

Lu Ren's impression of Bourbon was still the coldness of the first meeting.

He thought this was Bourbon's character, and never thought there was another reason behind it. Bourbon's performance at the time was inseparable from him.

Ok……

Anyway...it doesn't matter.

Even if Toru Amuro would stay by his side in the future and look at him with eager eyes, Lu Ren wouldn't feel anything.

He was accustomed to being the center of attention. Eyes are on other people's bodies. If Toru Amuro wants to see them, let him see them.

As for other possible electronic equipment surveillance, with Xiaoyou and Dabai here, if even one of the Japanese police equipment can still operate normally, he will lose.

After casually replying to Toru Amuro, Lu Ren continued: "I will take you home after I get Bourbon back to the base."

Belmore chuckled, her eyes so soft that she could squeeze out water, "My dear, why are you so considerate this time?"

"It's mainly because it's a little late. I just received news that a dangerous criminal in Tokyo is currently committing crimes. There are already three victims, all of whom are long-haired women who went home alone late at night."

"in this way."

Belmode didn't care about this. Criminals of this level were simply child's play to her.

If it really fell into her hands, she wouldn't mind going to the Metropolitan Police Department to get some bonuses, and maybe she could get another "Mika Town Friendly Citizen" award or something.

Belmore didn't care, but Toru Amuro was concerned about it.

He sat in the back seat of the car, his head slightly lowered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

This gang of useless bastards from the Metropolitan Police Department...

After calming down for a moment, Toru Amuro quickly regained his composure. He pretended to be disdainful and said: "You only target women. What a shameless bastard."

"Yeah." Thinking of Bei Dao, who also had long hair and often worked late at night before returning home, Lu Ren was worried about this. "The security in Tokyo is really bad."

"..."

Being criticized by an extremely dangerous terrorist for the poor security in Tokyo. It was hard for Toru Amuro to explain how he felt.

"Yes." Belmore was using her mobile phone. She was searching and checking relevant news reports on the Internet. "This man is called the Hammerhead Man. It seems because he hits with a hammerhead every time he commits a crime. The victim’s head.”

"He has now become an urban legend in Tokyo. It is said that he is over 1.8 meters tall and can run 100 meters in 11 seconds."

"Where did this news come from? Are there any witnesses?"

Toru Amuro realized something was wrong. He was 1.8 meters tall and 100 meters in 11 seconds could be made up, but the tools for committing crimes could not be made up.

As far as he knew, there were dozens of blunt traumas caused by hitting the head. How could he be sure that the murder weapon must be a hammer?

Belmore replied: "The victims themselves said it. Although the hammer-headed man attacked them, he seemed to have spared his hands and did not really kill them. He probably wanted to find excitement, but was afraid of actually killing them. A guy who will be sentenced to a long time if he kills someone."

"Then did they see the appearance of the murderer?" Toru Amuro continued to ask.

"No. The murderer wrapped himself very tightly when committing the crime, including gloves, a hood, a baseball cap, and a towel. In addition, it was very dark at that time, and he chose uninhabited corners to commit crimes. Therefore, no one knew his true identity. Appearance."

Belmore had to put away his phone, "Okay, you're just a thief, don't keep asking. People who don't know would think you are a policeman. Why are you so enthusiastic?"

Amuro Toru's heart suddenly thought, Belmore thought that he was testing him?

Just when he was about to go back to make amends, Lu Ren suddenly spoke up to help him.

"There's nothing wrong with being enthusiastic. Scumbags like this who specifically target women should die early and be clean."

"That's true. But the Tokyo police are not all useless. It should take a while to catch this suspect."

Glenfiddich's statement is righteous and full of justice. Belmore didn't feel too surprised.

The Tokyo branch now knows that Glenfiddich likes to support justice, fight against illegal and criminal activities, and personally arrest murderers.

Gin has never commented on this.

Glenfiddich can do whatever he likes.

If you are willing to fight crime and arrest criminals, let him do it. Anyway, it's better than... it's better for him to go back to his old business and pick people's heads when he has nothing to do.

At present, within the Tokyo branch, and even within the entire organization, Glenfiddich may have the best relationship with the police.

But at the same time, he is also the one who has the worst relationship with the police.

The police, who often manipulate public opinion, are overwhelmed. Last time, the police chief was forced to publicly apologize, and the entire police system was forced to shut down for a whole day.

On the one hand, he was fighting with the police, and on the other hand, he stabbed the police with a knife, showing no mercy.

This is Glenfiddich, an existence whose words and deeds are extremely divided.

Everyone is used to it, there is nothing surprising about it.

"Count on them?" Lu Ren smiled and said nothing more.

"The first assault case occurred a week ago, the second case occurred four days ago, and the third case occurred yesterday. The total population of Tokyo is about 1400 million. If the three surrounding prefectures are included, the entire The permanent population of the Tokyo metropolitan area is 3300 million." Toru Amuro also picked up his mobile phone at this time and started searching for the hammer-headed man's injury case, "This is only the permanent population, including the floating population, it will only be more. The Tokyo police waste is indeed Most of them, but if the criminal is not arrested within a week, it is actually not bad. After all, the murderer is among more than million ordinary people."

"Thirty million, how is that possible? Although the murderer has become an urban legend in Tokyo, the places where he committed the first three cases were actually in Miwa Town. There is no need to search the entire Tokyo, just search Miwa Town."

"What's the population of Miwa Town? Is there 40,000 people? Is this search really difficult? It's so difficult that they haven't identified the murderer for a week."

Toru Amuro retorted: "You can't be so sure, right? The murderer may be someone from other areas of Tokyo, and he chose Yoneka Town specifically to confuse the police."

"If it was really to confuse the situation, then he shouldn't have caught a sheep from Yoneka Town. He could have done it with Aido-cho, Yoneka Town, and Okuho Town. It just so happened that these three towns were also next to each other. Rizen Town and Toriya Town are also available to him.”

"The three victims have no connection with each other. It can be preliminarily determined that this is a case of indiscriminate assault. In this case, why did the murderer focus on Yoneka Town? Is it possible that he has a special affection for the women in Yoneka Town? bell?"

"As Belmore said just now, the murderer wrapped himself very tightly, with gloves, a hood, a face scarf, a turban, etc. This is actually a flaw in him."

"flaw?"

The murderer wrapped himself so tightly that the police could not grasp his appearance. How could this be called a flaw?
  "Yeah, a flaw. Since he didn't kill anyone every time he committed a crime. After the first wounding case, the police were able to quickly learn from the victim that the murderer dressed like this every time he committed a crime."

"This undoubtedly provides them with a general direction to locate the murderer. A person who is already wearing a hooded jumpsuit has to wear an additional hat with a brimmed hat or a face scarf. For a person wearing this kind of attire, changing It's you, do you think he's suspicious?"

Toru Amuro: "Well..."

For some reason, Glenfiddich was talking about a jumpsuit hood, but the first thing he thought of was a knitted hat.

"The article Belmore read just now did not disclose the clothes the murderer wore when he committed the crime, maybe because he was worried about imitating the crime. But in fact, you also know what the murderer was wearing, and it is often seen."

"The clothes the murderer wore when he committed the crime should not only be able to hold a pair of gloves, but also be able to hide a hammer. Ordinary clothes don't have such big pockets."

Speaking of this, Belmode also reacted: "The clothes that the hammer-headed man is wearing are the one-piece windbreakers that you and Gin often wear, with a hood."

"Yes. The police also have this information, but they have not made it public. So the general characteristics of the murderer are that he is a man who comes out late at night, wearing a one-piece windbreaker, a hood and a baseball cap and walking with his head down. "

Lu Ren paused for a moment and continued, "And he would put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker. Just like Gin often does. Gin is used to putting pistols, mobile phones, and cigarettes in his left pocket. This will cause the hems on both sides of his windbreaker to have different weights."

"If he didn't put his hands in his pockets and actively control it, then if he walked a little longer, the swing range of the two sides of the windbreaker would be significantly different, thus attracting others' attention. The murderer put it in his pocket, but it was longer than the pistol A heavier hammer.”

"The Hammerhead Man has committed many crimes in a short period of time, and has become a strange story in Tokyo. He is very famous. At this juncture, if a person dressed in similar clothes suddenly appears on the street, will others be alert?"

"Tokyo is so prosperous, even late at night, the major izakayas and custom shops are still full. Therefore, the risk of the murderer being discovered is still high. The murderer himself knows this."

"He cannot take any public transportation, nor can he take a taxi, because he will be recognized by others. If the murderer is really a person from other parts of the Tokyo metropolitan area who went to Yoneka Town to commit crimes, then his only option is to drive here by himself. After committing the crime, drive away."

"From here, the police can have two directions of investigation. First, the murderer is from Yoneka Town and neighboring areas, such as Aipado Town. He walked over on foot to commit the crime. Second, the murderer drove to Yoneka Town and committed the crime. Then drive away.”

"Let's talk about the second possibility first. The time and place where the murderer committed the crime are both certain. The location was Mihua Town, and the time was late at night. There were definitely not as many vehicles during that time period as there were during the day."

"There are only a few main roads in and out of Miwa Town. The police only need to call up the surveillance of these places. See if the same car went back and forth to Miwa Town three times during the time when the murderer committed the crime."

"After three consecutive screenings, even if the target vehicle still cannot be directly identified, the scope of suspect vehicles will definitely be greatly reduced. They can just investigate one by one."

"It can only be said that the workload is a bit larger, but if it is actually implemented, is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult..."

"I don't know if the police have thought of this direction of investigation. Since Bourbon said that the Metropolitan Police Department is not all rubbish, I will assume that they thought of this and took action, but in the end they found nothing."

"In this case, excluding the second possibility, doesn't it still indicate that the murderer is a resident of Mika Town or Aido Town? Does the total population of these two towns add up to 100,000 people?"

"In a week, we will focus on setting up ambushes and investigations in two places in Mikka Town and Cupido Town. Although it is still difficult to catch the murderer, it is not completely impossible as you said, right?"

"Um……"

"Belmore said just now that none of the victims in these three cases died. She believed that the murderer held back. But in fact, there is another possibility, that is, the murderer was not strong enough to support the murder."

"If he is really worried about being arrested, then he should not contact the police three times in a short period of time. This is undoubtedly an extreme provocation to the police. He can completely reduce the frequency to once a week, once every half month, or once a month."

"So rather than the murderer deliberately holding back his hand, I am more inclined to believe that the murderer himself is weak."

Tohru Amuro asked: "Didn't you say that the murderer is 1.8 meters tall? This height doesn't seem like he doesn't have enough strength, right?"

"Urban ghost stories are always spread by rumors. If the police can't catch him, the next version of him will probably be two meters tall."

"The lack of strength may be because the murderer is thin and weak, or the murderer is a minor."

"If it's the former, then the murderer probably suddenly found out that he was suffering from a terminal illness, such as cancer. Knowing that there was no cure and his time was running out, he chose to take revenge on society."

"So he started wandering around late at night, specifically picking out long-haired women who were alone. This characteristic of long-haired women was probably because his ex-girlfriend had long hair. That person chose to leave after learning that he was terminally ill. He even took away all his property before leaving."

"But if it was really that bad, even if he wasn't strong enough, he couldn't kill the victim with one blow. He would probably choose to hit the victim afterwards. So I still prefer that the murderer is a minor. The motive for the crime may be that he was bullied by a long-haired woman at school. , and then vented this resentment on others."

"And he should still be living alone, otherwise his parents who live together will definitely find something unusual. For middle and high school students who live alone, are thin, and are taciturn in school, the scope of the search can be narrowed a lot."

"Not necessarily." Belmore looked out the window. "The murderer may also be a woman. Gender limits her power."

"female?"

"Well, although the murderer is called Hammerhead Man, the true gender of the murderer was not revealed in the report. Compared to Glen, the murderer you mentioned was because his girlfriend left the society to seek revenge. But it is also possible that the boyfriend dumped the murderer, his ex-girlfriend. I chose my current girlfriend with long hair instead.”

Belmore remembered something, and his smile was very intriguing, "As a woman, I know best what a jealous woman can do."

"Um……"
