Whoosh …
Yokohama F. Marinos Stadium was filled with people. They were watching a National Football League match. There were more than 20000 people in the stadium. They were cheering like a tsunami and the atmosphere was magnificent …
“In the corner of the stadium, Masako Yangshan was showing Zhao Yu a document.”
“””Here,”” Masako introduced,””I got this with a lot of connections and some money! Similar cases had happened in City M in 1994, New York and Amsterdam in 1993!”
“””Because of the long history, it was not easy to find detailed information. But in these cases, the victims were all young women, and their left ears were cut off by the murderer after their deaths …”””
“””Hmm …”” The information was all in English, so Zhao Yu couldn’t understand it himself. He then said,””so, including Bangkok, New Delhi, Tokyo, Hancheng, and Toronto …”
“””If the murderer is the same person, then this left-ear killer killed at least eight girls in just five years. He’s another F * cking devil!”””
“””Yeah,”” Masako said.””We still don’t know if there have been similar cases in other cities or at other times. It might be more than eight!”””
“””Toronto, Bangkok New Delhi …”” Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then asked,””other than the capital, it’s either an international city or a big one. Did this murderer specifically pick them?”””
“””Detective Zhao,”” Masako asked in surprise,””I’ve always wanted to ask, has there been a similar case in your country?”
“””You can focus on the capital, Shanghai, Yunzhou, and other international metropolises …”””
“””Mm …”” Zhao Yu nodded and said,””I’ve already asked, but the case is too complicated, so we’re still investigating …”””
Whoosh …
“Because a goal had been scored on the court, the stadium was filled with thunderous cheers and the atmosphere was explosive.”
“””Let’s reorganize our thoughts,”” Zhao Yu said as he opened his notebook.””Thirty years ago, there was an assassin who, before reaching a big city, targeted a young woman. He killed her, then cut off the victim’s ear …”
“””Furthermore, there are no signs of violation. It was only to kill and cut off ears …”
“””Then … Why did he do that?”””
“””Perverted …”” Masako said.””What else can be explained? “”Besides, I’m optimistic about your thinking. The murderer is very likely to be an artist, and Van Gogh is his idol!”
“””So, we just need to check which art exhibitions were held in these cities back then, and we might be able to find out who the murderer is!”””
“””But …”” Zhao Yu frowned.””Why do I feel like things aren’t that simple?”””
“””Why do you have to make it complicated?”” Masako retorted,””the murderer committed a crime every time he arrived in a city, but because he entered the country at the last minute and left very quickly, it was difficult for the police to investigate in that era when technology was undeveloped!”
“””And because of the lack of information, it’s difficult for people to think that this is a shocking international serial murder case!”””
“””Wait …”” Suddenly, Zhao Yu thought of something. He opened the notebook and said,””I remember that at the scene of Xinjia’s murder in Ping Cheng, there were traces of burnt charcoal and white candles, right?”””
“””That’s right,”” Masako said.””In addition to these, we also found some burnt confetti. The murderer must have held some kind of ceremony at the scene!”””
“””A … A sacrificial ceremony?”” he asked. Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, then asked,””what did he want to express?”””
“””I don’t know about that, but,”” Masako said,””killing a girl in every city, I can guarantee that the victim and the murderer don’t know each other!”””
“””Of course,”” Zhao Yu said.””I’ve read the previous report. The victims were all killed because they were out alone at night. So, the murderer must have chosen the victims randomly!”
“””But, he held a ritual at the scene of the murder, and even burned charcoal and lit candles. This obviously doesn’t make sense …”””
“””Oh, it really is!”” Masako understood what Zhao Yu meant.””If you kill people in the middle of the night, wouldn’t burning charcoal and lighting candles be easier for people to find out?”””
“””Also, the victim’s hands were all cut,”” Zhao Yu said.””He obviously wanted to drain the victim’s blood, so he did it like he was holding a ceremony!”””
“””A blood sacrifice? “”I … I’ll look into it later,”” Masako said.””I’ll see if there are any evil religious secret techniques in the world that are related to the sacrifice of blood?”””
“””Masako, how about this!”” Zhao Yu said,””for the time being, we will continue to investigate according to my previous line of thought. It’s not easy for us to investigate other countries, but can you help me find out what kind of art exhibition was being held Tokyo during the time when Xinjia of Ping Cheng was killed?”””
“””Oh … That’s a good idea! “”But …”” Masako said,””after all, it’s been a long time, and I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to find it!”””
“””It doesn’t matter,”” Zhao Yu said.””The victim’s left ear was missing. I think that the murderer took it away as a souvenir!”
“””But, isn’t it dangerous to bring someone’s ear through customs?”””
“””Mm …”” Masako tried her best to keep up with Zhao Yu’s thoughts.””So, you’re saying that the murderer isn’t worried that his ears would be discovered?”””
“””Right!”” Zhao Yu said,””I heard that in that era, some high-level art pieces didn’t need to go through security checks. Do you think the murderer took advantage of this?”””
“””Oh …”” Masako finally understood what Zhao Yu meant.””You’re saying that the art exhibition that is related to the case must be the kind that is not small in scale, right?”””
“””Right!”” 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 to me!”” I’m so excited! If we can find the art exhibition, we might be able to find the murderer!”
“””If we can find the murderer, we can solve the sunflower case, and at the same time, solve a major case in the world.”
“””I can even publish a book, oh no, a series of books, called ‘blood sacrifice’ or ‘Lady Killer of the big city’. It will definitely earn enough eyeballs, wow …”””
“Seeing Zhao Yu wiping his sweat, Masako realized her situation and quickly explained awkwardly,””””Hehehe, I’m sorry, I was too excited!”
“””Great detective Zhao, from the moment we met in Seoul I knew that you were My Lucky Star. I believed that we could definitely find this international killer! Don’t worry!”””
“After that, Masako bowed happily again, then said goodbye to Zhao Yu and turned to leave the stadium stands.”
“At this moment, the football game was nearing its end. The players were all struggling on the field, and the audience in the stands were in high spirits and even started singing …”
“After Masako walked away, Lee Bencheng appeared like a ghost.”
“””How is it?”” Zhao Yu didn’t even look at him, but asked casually,””no one is following us, right?”””
“””Yes,”” Lee Bencheng nodded and said,””we are safe! However, I have some bad news for you …”””
“””What?”” This time, Zhao Yu had no choice but to look at li Bencheng in the eye,””what’s wrong?”””
“””I’ve already checked the art exhibition you mentioned!”” Lee Bencheng grabbed a handful of popcorn and said,””during the time when Xinjia of Ping Cheng was killed, there was no high-level exhibition Tokyo …”””
