Kaoru and Kusanagi walked into the research room together, and saw Yukawa sitting in front of the computer desk with his hands crossed and waiting for them with a depressed expression. "What about the letter?" Kusanagi asked. "This is it." Tang Chuan said, picking up the document on the table.The letter was folded into a thin strip. Kusanagi stood and unfolded the letter paper, and Kaoru went to him to read it. good luck.This time I have something to bother you, so I wrote this letter.Having said that, like last time, it is not difficult, just click on a certain website.

It is clear at a glance that this is the official homepage message board of a professional baseball team.Please find the message written on the 25th of this month under the name of "Snake Motorist".The investigators will come to you sooner or later like last time, please click to open it and show them. I hope you will take care of me a lot. devil hand "Snake driver..." Kusanagi murmured, "Then have you checked the message board?" "It's here." Tang Chuan pointed to the computer screen. Shown above are messages written by fans of a certain professional baseball team.On the evening of the 25th, a person named "Snake Driver" did leave a message, the title of which was "Everyone, please pay more attention".

Everyone, please also pay more attention to snake drivers at 20:18 on the 25th Yesterday's game was really exciting, and I look forward to their future performance. At the moment they won, I was driving on the Metropolitan Expressway from Horikiri JCT to Koei JCT.I almost let go of the steering wheel because I was so excited.In the future, you should be more careful when driving while listening to the radio.Tomorrow, on the 26th, I will also pass the same road, so I must be careful. Kusanagi turned to look at Kaoru, her eyes met, she nodded. "Is it also a notice letter?" Tang Chuan asked.

"No mistake. The section chief showed me this thing just now. It is said that it was sent to the section chief this morning, so I came to see you." Kusanagi said and handed over a document. Kaoru had read the content of the letter with him before and understood it.The content of the letter is as follows: Dear members of the Metropolitan Police Department: The power of the devil's hand has been demonstrated once again.At about 5:00 p.m. on the 26th, a person named Kiyoji Ishizuka should have caused a traffic accident on the Capital Expressway, which was also caused by my power.Same as last time, I have made a notice in advance, you may wish to go to Associate Professor Y, he should tell you where my notice is written.

Devil's Hand ぃ row C column 78 Tang Chuan raised his head from the paper and asked, "Actually, are you sure that such an accident happened?" Kusanagi nodded and said: "It happened. A light vehicle crashed into the wall between Horikiri JCT and Xiaoying JCT on the 26th. Although the man who was driving was sent to Went to the hospital, but died in the end." "Is that place an accident-prone section?" "It is indeed an accident-prone road section, but it does not happen every year." Yu Chuan crossed his legs and raised his chin like a Rodin sculpture:

"In that case, it's not a coincidence. Perhaps it can be assumed that the perpetrator was somehow involved in the accident." "But there is nothing suspicious about this accident. Witnesses said that the light vehicle suddenly started snaking, and then was bounced by the truck behind and hit the wall. In other words, this is a typical fatigue caused by driving. The accident. The police responsible for handling the accident suspected that the truck driver did not pay attention to the front when driving, so he launched a very detailed investigation afterwards, but still found nothing. The man was the only one in the car at the time, and he had never drunk. And there is no trace of any tampering on the car. No matter how you look at it, this is a simple accident."

"But in this way, it will be impossible to explain the notice letter." Tang Chuan pointed to the computer screen and said, "Have you found anything about the accident that fell from the building last time?" "It has been found out that the victim has never accidentally fallen from the construction site before, or even nearly fell." Kusanagi replied. "That is to say, the perpetrator not only caused an experienced construction worker who was working alone at a high altitude to stumble and fall, but also caused a driver who was driving to fail to correct his driving direction in time. Indeed, it is no wonder that he shouted 'Own' Devil's Hand'."

"Because the other party sent a criminal statement for the second murder, the higher-ups also started to panic. Since there is a warning letter, we can no longer sit idly by. Yu Chuan, please, find a way to put this 'devil's Reveal the hand's true colors, the enemy is clearly challenging you." Tang Chuan spread his hands and said, "What's the point of challenging me? If you want to commit a crime, you just challenge the police? Even if you defeat me, you won't get any prizes." "It's true to say so, but the perpetrator is indeed full of a strong sense of hostility towards you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the trouble to tell you the exact location of the message board with the notice letter written on it. The purpose of the perpetrators doing this is to involve you in it."

"Maybe you are right, but for me there is only trouble..." Tang Chuan stared at the computer and said, "I didn't expect the perpetrator to use the Internet this time." "We have found out that the perpetrator logged in from an Internet cafe in Ikebukuro when the last warning letter was released." Kusanagi said, "But because you can enter that Internet cafe without showing your ID card, it is difficult to lock down. The perpetrator. We analyzed security cameras and found nothing." "It is very unlikely that the perpetrator will go to the same Internet cafe. It is not so bold. But it is strange, why is the perpetrator so obsessed with the Internet..." Tang Chuan fell into deep thought, and then he suddenly turned his back Stand up and say, "You said the accident happened on the 26th, right? What date is it today?"

"Thirty days." Kaoru replied. "The perpetrator sent the criminal statement yesterday, that is, on the 29th. In other words, three days have passed since the day of the crime. During this period, what did the perpetrator do? Why didn't he post the crime? How about posting it immediately?" "That said, it's indeed a little strange. The last murder was committed on the 20th, and the letter was mailed on the 22nd. That is to say, the perpetrator sent the letter the day after the crime. .” "Maybe it's because something happened to me." Kusanagi said, "The perpetrator of this bastard should also have a job. It is probably because of work problems that he has no time to write and post letters."

"No, he should still have time to write the letter. In fact, didn't the perpetrator and the criminal write a message on the Internet message board through the computer on the night of the 25th? Since he has time to write the notice letter, then He should have the same time to write the criminal statement. The same is true for mailing, no matter how busy the work is, there is always time to throw the envelope in the mailbox." "Exactly." Kusanagi scratched his head as he said. "What's going on? Why didn't the perpetrator take any action for three full days?" Tang Chuan covered his mouth with his hand, staring at a certain point in the void with his eyes lost in thought. Just then, Kusanagi's cell phone rang.He took out his mobile phone from his arms, said "I'm sorry" to Tang Chuan, walked away two steps to answer the phone, covered his mouth and started talking. "What? What did you say?" Kusanagi suddenly raised his voice, "What are the section chief and the others planning to do?...Is it...yes, it has been confirmed. Sure enough, they wrote a notice letter, written in a certain occupation On the baseball team's home page... yeah, got it." After talking on the phone, Kusanagi walked back with a serious face. "It doesn't seem like good news," Tang Chuan said. "Things are troublesome, Neihai, let's go back to the main hall." "What happened?" "The bastard perpetrator wrote a letter to the TV station." Kaoru let out an "hey" and stood up. "The people from the TV station came to the Metropolitan Police Department to ask about the situation of the falling accident in Ryogoku and the traffic accident at JCT Horikiri, and they also called themselves 'Devil's Hand'." "what should I do?" "In order to avoid confusion, the superiors think it's better to hold a press conference first. No matter what, the disturbance will expand. What are you doing, you're making trouble for us all day—hey, Yukawa," Kusanagi gripped tightly Looking down at his old friend, he said, "We don't want to cause trouble for you, but this time the situation is special. If you can help us, it will be for your own good in the end. You should understand, right?" With a look of unrelieved expression on his face, Tang Chuan nodded reluctantly: "It seems to be true. As long as the case is not solved, you will still come to me to harass me." "That's up to you. Aren't you absolutely unable to forgive those who use science as a tool to kill?" Hearing Kusanagi's words, Yukawa raised his eyebrows and said to Kaoru, "Please go and collect relevant information about the accident that happened on the Metropolitan Expressway." "Okay." Kaoru replied.
