“As you all know; we already have seven victims including the woman who was found this morning. This string of cases began with the homicide of Shota Rin.” the captain said to the detectives
“Detective Madao, you are in charge of this case, state your reasons on why the killer hasn’t been caught yet” the captain included directing his gaze to the aforementioned detective
“Captain, the first case transpired last month, 13th day November. The victim Shota Rin, is a 28-year-old, male, office worker. He was killed in his apartment and the method of killing is strangulation. Of course, I interrogated his family, colleagues and friends. There was nothing relevant. It seemed like he distanced himself to everyone in his vicinity. So I went closer, next I talked his neighbors in the apartment. I found a possible motive--” Madao was cut in his report by a remark
“He’s gay” Ryu stated.
“Hahahaha! As expected from you Detective Ryu. So-” said Madao regaining his composure after Ryu’s unfiltered remark
“Let’s make this quick, Madao. We all saw the report. That’s the only lead you have. Turns out you were right. The second victim was a lesbian, succeeded by an obese woman, a rebellious teenager, a NEET, a cheating bastard and finally a woman with a clean record.” The Captain interrupted as he becomes agitated by Madao’s detailed explanation.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
The room began to fill with silence and contemplation as they inspected the up to date details of the last victim.
“Sawada Fuka, 25-year-old female and a teacher at XYZ Highschool. Death by strangulation- “the Detective 2 who spoke stopped with a hint of disappointment.
“As you can see, the final victim is a blank slate. The pattern stops here.”
“Unless, a replica. A lover with whom she has a bad closure staged her death” Detective 3
“That is a possibility.” Detective 4
“No, this was done by the same killer. The behavior of the sick bastard is predictable; this is an open case but why haven’t we solved it yet” Madao said
“The killer is more human than us but more elusive. Predictable but can’t be caught. An open book but still mysterious. He’s real but still you can’t see him” Ryu stated as he stood up
“Giji shijin”- the captain said now staring at the window
“Ryu, you’ll be in charge of Sawada Fuka. Find the bastard.” His captain said dismissing the others.
Ryu now with a case, walks toward Madao. The same man who tapped his shoulders before the meeting.
“Ryu, a giji shijin huh.” Madao commented as he walks towards his friend who was silent again.
God gave powers to humans, these humans become the tangible manifestation of his will, of his commands. To save us from sins. But are those sins? Is it right for them to be judged just because of being different? If so, then all of us are DISGUSTING CREATURES after all.
