"This is already the fifth case!"
At Tanaka Tanigawa's house, Superintendent Masaru's face gradually became gloomy. He looked at the three members of his family lying in a pool of blood, and the gloom in his expression could not be shaken off.
This is the fifth similar case in Yingdu!
After committing the crime, the murderer actually left a piano at the crime scene?!
This is treating them as nothing!
The Superintendent is already a senior inspector in the Japanese inspectorate system, and in the past two days, five similar cases have occurred in Sakura City. The victims all died at home, and there was a conspicuous piano in the house.
It is obvious that this is most likely a serial case!
There are quite a few perverted murderers in Japan, but he is the first one to provoke the inspector with an object as difficult to move as a piano!
An inspector quickly crossed the cordon and approached the Superintendent, whispering, "Captain Kudo, according to the neighbors, they heard beautiful piano music yesterday evening."
"Okay, I understand."
Inspector Kudo nodded, glanced around, and whispered, "Try to suppress this matter as much as possible. At the same time, let our inspectors patrol. If they hear any piano sounds, they are to go and check it out immediately."
The inspector nodded seriously upon hearing this and said, "I understand, Captain Kudo."
Afterwards, the story spread among the inspectors, who naturally had their own families. After returning home, they began to tell their families: "If you hear the sound of a piano nearby, call me back and don't act on your own!"
Some of the inspector's family members kept their mouths shut, but others couldn't control their mouths. Add to that the neighbors of the deceased...things changed.
"Have you heard that there's a psycho killer who plays the piano before committing a crime?"
"Have you heard? If you interrupt the killer playing the piano, you will die!"
"Have you heard? A ghost appeared in Sakura City, possessed the piano, and is now killing people in Sakura City!"
Then....
Contemporary Sakura City Urban Tales!
The piano ghost successfully formed a new urban legend along with a series of ghosts such as the slit-mouthed woman and Tomie. For a while, the topic was hotly discussed in Sakura City, and there was even a tendency to sweep across the entire Japan.
Three days later, Inspector Kudo was looking at his inspector with a grim face, feeling inexplicably irritated.
He didn't know why this case spread so quickly. In just three days, it became known to everyone in Yingdu... Isn't this too fast?
Because the news spread at an alarming speed, Inspector Kudo Masaru was severely reprimanded by his superiors, who asked him to find a way to solve the case as soon as possible and not to cause panic among the citizens of Sakurato.
Inspector Kudo was feeling depressed. He had no way out at all, and the murderer had not appeared in the past three days, which made it even more difficult for him to start.
This case was very unusual; they couldn't find any fingerprints.
Not only that, there were bite marks of varying degrees on the body, which looked very much like animal bites. If animals could play the piano, they would even think it was an animal attack.
Initially, Inspector Kudo thought that the pets were used to confuse the victim after the crime, but the report overturned his idea.
Most of the wounds were caused before death, and the flesh and blood are highly protruded!
"Damn it! Why did this happen during my tenure?"
Inspector Kudo was a little upset. He had just been promoted from Superintendent to Senior Superintendent, and his career had just been on the right track, but then this happened.
This undoubtedly made Inspector Kudo pay more attention to this matter and he wanted to resolve it as soon as possible to avoid tarnishing his career.
"Captain Kudo, we discovered that the deceased were all employees of the Great Whale Airlines Co., Ltd. What's even more coincidental is that they were all crew members of the same whaling ship!"
At this moment, his men brought an unexpected surprise to Inspector Kudo.
"Really? I'm going to visit the president of Daijinghang Co., Ltd. now. You go and control the other employees of the whaling ship and wait for my orders!" Inspector Kudo was overjoyed. He stood up from his office chair and spoke to the inspector.
The inspector was stunned for a moment before whispering, "Captain Kudo... all the crew members on that whaling ship are dead. Five died in the piano incident, seven died in the storm at sea, and three died of illness a few days ago..."
At this moment, Inspector Kudo understood something: there must be something fishy about this whaling ship!
What a coincidence?
A storm at sea, death from illness, and the piano incident killed all fifteen people on a whaling ship?
Inspector Kudo nodded slightly, and after a moment's contemplation, he said to his right-hand man, "Hayakawa, what do you think about this?"
"Kudo-senpai, I think there must be something fishy going on!"
Hayakawa nodded seriously and said, "This matter must be related to Taigei Airlines. I think we should go meet with the president of Taigei Airlines."
Inspector Kudo nodded with satisfaction, indicating that he was right about Hayakawa.
Hayakawa is the inspector he trusts the most, and what he likes most is subordinates like Hayakawa who can give him immediate advice at any time.
This way, if anything goes wrong, I can completely put the blame on him!
Inspector Kudo nodded with satisfaction and began to wait for the appointment with the president of Daigei Airlines Co., Ltd.
Daigei Hang Co., Ltd. is the leading company in the whaling industry in Japan. Their president, Takahashi Shio, has even received high praise from the Prime Minister. If he rashly offends Daigei Hang Co., Ltd., his future will be bleak.
But if it is confirmed that the president of Daigei Airlines Co., Ltd. is really the murderer behind all the cases, then the president of Daigei Airlines Co., Ltd. will definitely be finished.
Daigei Airlines Co., Ltd. is Daigei Airlines Co., Ltd., and the president is the president. Arresting the president does not mean that Daigei Airlines Co., Ltd. will go bankrupt.
This is where Inspector Kudo Shizheng’s confidence comes from. Otherwise, would Inspector Kudo Shizheng rashly offend a huge chaebol?
He still wants to live a few more years.
After waiting in the office for half an hour, Inspector Hayakawa hurried over and whispered to Superintendent Kudo apologetically, "Senior Kudo, according to the people at Daigei Airlines, their president, Takahashi, hasn't been to the company for two days. There's been no response even when I called."
"Um?!"
Inspector Kudo suddenly stood up from his chair. After hesitating for a while, he finally made a decision: "Hayakawa, Miyazaki, you two come with me to visit Mr. Takahashi Shio!"
