Singing harmoniously at 20:13 on the 22nd I also watched last night's program, and the singing was really beautiful and touching. I also play her CDs while driving. Tomorrow, the 23rd, I will be driving on the uplink of the Metropolitan Expressway No. 4 Shinjuku Line. Near Yoyogi, I will turn the volume to the maximum and play her music.Friends who happen to drive past me should be careful not to cause accidents because they are intoxicated by singing. Mamiya raised his head from the printing paper, Kusanagi asked, "How is it?" "It does feel very similar to those previous messages." Mamiya said. "Where did you find it?"

"It is said that I found it on the support page of a young female singer." "You can really find it, you have found those places." "I heard from Utsumi that it took her two days to find this thing." Kusanagi said with a wry smile.But in his heart, he still admires her drive and persistence. It is said that it was Yukawa who instructed her to search the location and keywords of traffic accidents on the Internet, and her purpose was to find out the failure cases of the perpetrators. Kusanagi recalled the explanation heard from Utsumi: "The perpetrator first wrote the crime notice on the Internet message board, and then implemented his plan the next day. But not every time he succeeded. It is estimated that after the failure When he succeeds, he will neither issue a criminal statement to the police, nor inform Mr. Tang Chuan of the website address left by Mr. Tang Chuan. The question is, what kind of situation can be regarded as a failure. In fact, it was a natural failure for the perpetrator to cause an accident. However, judging from the timing of his criminal statement, even if the accident was caused, the victim did not die. It is also a failure of his plan. Obviously, the other party sent the statement every time after canceling the death report in the newspaper. This shows that the possibility of an accident that did not send a criminal statement because the victim was not dead should be extremely high. Of course, in In this case, the perpetrator should also have written a crime notice on a message board."

It is said that based on such an assumption, Kaoru Utsumi conducted a thorough search on the Internet for relevant vocabulary related to traffic accidents that occurred in the last ten days.From the beginning, she limited the scope to the accident that happened on the uplink lane of the Shinjuku Line No. 4 of the Metropolitan Expressway, and it hit her heart.On the afternoon of the 23rd, an accident occurred when a car driven by a young woman collided with the side wall of the road on the uplink of the Metropolitan Expressway No. 4 Shinjuku Line.Kaoru Utsumi searched the Internet using keywords such as "Capital Expressway No. 4", "Shinjuku Line", "driving", "Yoyogi", and "23rd" on the Internet, and finally found out that it was Mamiya who just saw it. The message that arrived.

"The scale of the incident was small and it is understood the woman driving the car was not seriously injured."Kusanagi said. "Why does the perpetrator care so much about the death of the victim?" Mamiya was puzzled by this. "That's the problem. Yu Chuan seems to think that this is the weakness of the 'Devil's Hand'. If he is not dead, the victim may be aware of certain circumstances of the 'Devil's Hand'." Hearing Mamiya's words, Kusanagi nodded with a smile and said, "Utsumi should be inquiring at this time." Tianbian Kyoko's work unit is in Nihonbashi, a company that deals in furniture and interior decoration, and she has the title of interior decoration designer.

Sitting in the hall usually used to receive customers, Kyoko Tenbe looked a little nervous.It's no wonder that the person who suddenly came to her work unit to find her was the Metropolitan Police Department after all, and she seemed to mistake the man next to Kaoru as a criminal policeman.After being introduced to him as a physicist, her eyes widened, then blinked several times. "Ms. Tianbian, you had a traffic accident on the 23rd, right? We hope to know something about it from you." As soon as Kaoru finished speaking, Kyoko Tenbian immediately showed a disturbed expression, and her eyes flickered.

"I've said it all before..." "I know that. We came here to ask you to learn more about the situation. We won't impose any new punishment on you, Ms. Tianbian. You just need to relax." Xun said with a smile on purpose. "Yeah." Kyoko Tianbian nodded ambiguously. Kaoru winked at Yu Chuan, which meant that he would leave the rest to him. "According to the records of the Metropolitan Police Department, you suddenly felt dizzy at that time. Could you please describe it a little more specifically," Tang Chuan said, "What kind of dizziness exactly?"

"You asked me what kind of dizziness it is..." Kyoko Tianbian said with a sad face, "It feels like the world is spinning in front of me, and I can't stand still, so I don't know how to turn the steering wheel, but I can't step on it. Emergency braking. Just when I was panicking and thinking that I had to think of something, the car hit the wall." "Has this ever happened to you before?" Kyoko Tenbian shook her head without hesitation: "This kind of thing has never happened before. After the accident, I went to check my body, but the doctor said that I have nothing special. I can definitely show the medical certificate to the two of you. "

Tang Chuan smiled bitterly: "We are not suspecting that you concealed your illness and drove illegally. So, it was the first time you had such symptoms at that time, right?" "yes." "Did you eat or drink anything before this symptom occurred?" "No, I didn't eat or drink anything at the time." "Did the symptoms at the time just feel dizzy? Besides, did you feel any other abnormal reactions?" "Dizziness and ringing in the ears." "tinnitus?" "I felt tinnitus before my eyes became dizzy. It felt like my ears were blocked, and there was a 'buzzing' sound inside." Perhaps because the feeling at that time was revived, she frowned unhappily.

"It sounds like a symptom of Meniere's syndrome." Yu Chuan said. Kyoko Tianbian straightened her back abruptly, nodded and said, "At the beginning, the doctors in the hospital said the same thing." "But the test results say it's not, right?" "Yes. The examination was very delicate at the time, and the doctor finally told me that it was probably due to mental stress that caused this symptom to appear temporarily." "Did the same symptoms reappear after that?" "No. But I seldom drive because of lingering fear." "This is the best." Tang Chuan nodded lightly at Kaoru: His question seems to have been finished.

After expressing their gratitude to Kyoko Tenbe, the two left the company. "Did you find out anything?" Kaoru asked after walking to the main road. "Catched something like a hint. The question is how to verify it—" "Then please tell me what kind of reminder it is." "No, it's not enough to make a hypothesis right now. Give me a little more time." Xun became anxious, shook her head and said, "Teacher, do you know? The 'Devil's Hand' has sent three threatening letters this week. Because of these three threatening letters, concerts and celebrations were forced to be suspended, marathon competitions It was forced to postpone. The perpetrators have gone crazy to the extreme, thinking that as long as they raise the name of 'Devil's Hand', no one will dare to violate it. We cannot tolerate this forever."

"Concerts, festivals, and marathons. Remember the amusement park in front? It seems that the perpetrator doesn't want to see other people happy. I think this person has a dark personality." "There is no time to talk nonsense now. The perpetrator's request will definitely escalate in the future, and it will only be a matter of time before it develops into extortion of money. Teacher, this is not a simple research, please be sure to—" "Who said this is pure research?" Tang Chuan's eyes flashed behind the lens, "I despise the perpetrator of this case from the bottom of my heart. I don't know why he is hostile to me, but he killed two people in succession. He is an innocent person, and he is still looking forward to the intimidation effect with the mentality of playing a game. I will never spare this kind of person. No matter what, I will personally find him out and ask him to atone for his crime. So," he said Chao Xun smiled softly, "Just give me some more time. Don't worry, I won't make you wait too long." Kaoru looked back into his eyes and nodded silently.
