Chapter 339: You Tell Me, Is It Dangerous?
Inspector Megure hesitated a bit, then said, "It's that recent Case where Female victims have been continuously Attacked. Half a month ago, a Woman reported that she was Attacked with a Club by someone. Afterwards, two more incidents occurred consecutively. The Victims were also Women, and they were all dressed very fashionably."
Mori Kogoro lit a Cigarette and listened. "So that's it. You're trying to lure the Suspect who's been continuously attacking Women to take the Bait?"
"That's right," Inspector Megure said. "That's why we asked Officer Sato to dress up like that."
"But the Height of the Criminal you announced is around 150 centimeters," Mori Kogoro said gloomily. "Looking at my Height, you should Know I'm not the Criminal!"
Wataru Takagi was Speechless. "Because Mr. Mouri, your Attitude when Approaching Officer Sato was really too..."
"Indeed, we couldn't see any Goodwill," Inspector Megure said, taking over with a dry laugh.
Sato Miwako, sitting Aside, supplemented Smilingly, "I also Think it was quite Dangerous, so..."
Mori Kogoro had Bean Eyes. "S-sorry!"
Inspector Megure frowned. "But it's really a Headache..."
"That's right," Wataru Takagi also said in Distress. "The only common point among the three Female victims who were Attacked is that they were dressed fashionably."
"Also, the Crime Scenes were all very messy..." Sato Miwako also touched her chin and Pondered.
"Uh-huh..." Inspector Megure Pondered A Bit, then Turned his Head and asked Wataru Takagi, "Can you let me Check the Photos of those three Misses Again?"
Chi Feichei: "..."
Why not Just Directly Say to let Mori Kogoro Check them? That's Enough, isn't it?
Okay, if that's the case, you really can't Directly Say it.
"Okay!" Wataru Takagi immediately took out three Photos from his Pocket and put them on the Table, By the Way introducing them. "The First one who was Attacked was Miss Ryoko Mizutani. One Night two weeks ago, while waiting for the Red Light at the Crossroads, she was Suddenly rear-ended by a Car driven by someone. Just when she got out of the Car and started complaining, she was Attacked with a Metal Rod by a Criminal."
"The next one who was Attacked was Miss Hitomi Endo," Wataru Takagi continued to Say. "One Night ten Days ago, Just when she was coming out of the Washroom in the Park, she also suffered an Attack with a Metal Rod."
Chi Feichei: "..."
A few Nights ago, when he passed by the Park near Beihu Town, he Indeed heard the Scream of a Female. At that Time, he was on a Phone Call with Gin, and also didn't let Yingqu Yan Nan Park the Car to Look.
Feeling influenced by the Death God Protagonist Aura, passing by the Park almost became an Eyewitness...
But, he also wasn't Sure Whether the so-called 'ten Days ago' was that Night.
"As For this one, she is Miss Michiko Ishiguro who was Attacked last Night," Wataru Takagi said, talking about the Situation of the last Woman. "Just when she was about to walk out of the Phone Booth, she was Attacked by a Criminal."
Mori Kogoro Lowered his Head and Looked at the Photos, then raised his Head Again and asked Inspector Megure, "The Phone Booth Police Officer Takagi mentioned, could it be..."
"Right," Inspector Megure said seriously. "It's the Phone Booth where we Just Now subdued you. Fortunately, the Lives of the three of them are not in any great Danger. But besides their special dress style, there are no other common points. The three of them also don't remember Offending anyone Previously."
Mori Kogoro picked up the three Photos and examined them. Conan also leaned forward and Looked.
"If there are common points about the Victims, they Should be an Organized Personality Type," Chi Feichei said.
"Hey?" Wataru Takagi Looked Towards Chi Feichei in Doubt.
"The so-called Organized Personality Type has one biggest commonality: they will carry out Crime with a Plan," Chi Feichei explained. "Fantasy is the Source of Crime for Organized Personality Types. Many Organized Personality Types will only Start Doing Crime After years of Fantasy History. At this Time, the Fantasy World of the perpetrator has Already formed a Fantasy Template for the Victim. In Other Words, the perpetrator is Selectively Choosing the Victims..."
Inspector Megure's Expression Suddenly became Serious, and he listened attentively.
"According to a definition of Criminals in Criminal Psychology, the Goals chosen by Organized Personality Types are mostly strangers, Just Because this stranger matched a certain Characteristic of The Other Party's Fantasy World Template," Chi Feichei said. "Conversely, Disorganized Personality Types choosing Crime Goals do not have So Many Patterns. They have no Interest in the Identity and Characteristics of the Victim, and mostly commit impromptu Crime. This type of Criminal often chooses the Wrong Goal, encounters strong Resistance from the Victim, leaving Traces on the Criminal's body. And this type of Criminal is also relatively brutal, usually causing some Damage to the Corpse, For Example, dismemberment..."
Wataru Takagi was Speechless, and again said in Doubt, "A messy Crime Scene Should also be Possible for a Disorganized Personality Type, right?"
"No, the Method of identification is not in the messiness of the Crime Scene, but the Choice of the Victim," Chi Feichei said. "The Criminal is a very obvious Organized Personality Type. Looking at the Extent of the messiness of the Crime Scene, if the First Time was messier compared to the latter two Times, and the Extent of messiness shows a decreasing State, Then it's Dangerous."
"Dan- Dangerous?" Wataru Takagi was surprised.
"This type of Criminal's Fantasy Template has a Characteristic: it Necessarily has a certain Relationship with their Previous History. Because they suffered Damage, Then based on the Appearance of the Person who caused them Damage, they formulate the Fantasy Template," Chi Feichei said Calmly. "Seemingly, it's Because they suffered Damage and Murdered, But in Fact, it's Because of Fantasy History and Murdered."
Wataru Takagi was A Bit Stunned. "Is there a Difference?"
"Yes, Because they suffered Damage and Murdered, Retaliation is very Fast, they won't endure for too long, and it also only targets the Person who gave the Criminal Damage. But if they endure for a long Time, it will all become Crime Due to Fantasy," Chi Feichei said. "The Culprit of this Case, committing Crime for the First Time, is Possible impulsive Crime. Because seeing the Goal matches their own Fantasy Template, they received Stimulation, So they couldn't help but Start Doing Crime. But After the Crime ends, Because the Fantasy is satisfied, he won't feel guilty. Instead, he Feels very pleased. Then Because of satisfaction..."
Chi Feichei paused. "You Can Say So, it's Just like male-female Relationships. After Men finish and get satisfied, they will be silent for a period of Time, Then they will Expect the next Time."
Sato Miwako: "..."
That came out of nowhere.
Wataru Takagi, Mori Kogoro, and Inspector Megure were all Speechless simultaneously.
Cough, can you pay A Bit Attention? There are still Children here.
Conan was in Silence, Feeling that Weird Knowledge had increased.
When People who haven't even started their First Love die, not a single Veteran is innocent...
Chi Feichei didn't Think So Many, immersed in the Joy of Matters being verified. Staring at Wataru Takagi, he said, "In Other Words, After the Culprit finishes the First Time Crime, After a certain Time interval, they will impatiently Expect and carry out the next Crime. If the Time interval between Crimes is shortening, and the Extent of messiness at the Crime Scene is Descending, it will Indicate he has Already fallen into that kind of satisfaction and desire. Until the End, the Deceased will Necessarily appear. Moreover, Before being arrested, Crime will continue indefinitely. The Time of Crime will become shorter and shorter. But After the Reduction of Crime Time and ordinary Crime Means cannot satisfy, the perpetrator will pursue new Thrills, and the Crime Means will also become more and more cruel. You Say, Is it Dangerous?"
He remembered this Case. It Should be the Incident where Sonoko was Attacked. The Culprit is the Security Guard of the Department Store, not that 'one meter five Criminal'.
Originally, he Already remembered. It Should have been an uninteresting Case. He Just Suddenly Discovered that a Knowledge he had Seen in his Previous Life was verified, and he couldn't help but want to Say a few more Words.
Wataru Takagi was being intently Staring at by Chi Feichei. Feeling his Back was Cool and sweating profusely, he said, "Uh, Yes..."
Saying so, it's Indeed very Dangerous.
But he Thinks, Mr. Chi's Present State Seemingly seems even more Dangerous...
Suzuki Sonoko, Don't Know how she entered the Shop, arrived at the Table and asked in Doubt, "What Danger?"
The Originally heavy Atmosphere received a trace of Relieve.
As Chi Feichei withdrew his Line of Sight, Wataru Takagi secretly sighed in relief in his Heart.
Sato Miwako explained to Suzuki Sonoko, "It's that recent Case where Female victims were continuously Attacked. Mr. Chi Just Now Analyzed A Bit."
"Hey?" Suzuki Sonoko Suddenly became Interested. "Is Brother Hichiji Reasoning?"
"No," Chi Feichei said.
"It's an Analysis of the Criminal's Mentality," Inspector Megure said with a solemn Expression. "In Fact, As For the Possibility of the Criminal committing Crime next, my View is the Same as Brother Chi's. Then, Brother Chi, do you Think we can conversely Utilize this Mentality to Seize the Criminal?"
"How to Utilize this Mentality?" Chi Feichei Looked Towards Sato Miwako. "Inspector Megure Should be clear, Isn't It?"
The Same Characteristics, wandering around the Place where Criminals frequent, carrying out Bait...
"No way!" Inspector Megure's Face became even more solemn, and he said sternly, "We Cannot use Bait Again!"
The other Humans Looked in surprise, in Doubt Why Inspector Megure had such a big Reaction.
Inspector Megure was Be Stunned, and immediately slowed down his Tone. "In short, we can Think of other Methods Again. Since we Know the Danger Level of this type of Criminal, how can we let Humans take risks Again? How about it? Brother Mori, do you have any Views?"
"Well..." Mori Kogoro touched his chin. "I did remember. Previously, Seemingly, there was a similar Incident, right? Seemingly it was a Case of continuously hitting Humans with a Car. Finally, the Criminal also Indeed became more and more excessive..."
Inspector Megure's Face darkened. "Brother Mori, we Already Know the Danger Level of this Criminal Present. I wanted to Ask if you have any Views on the Culprit and how to Case Solving?"
"Cough, So Police Officer, you were Asking about this. You Should have said earlier," Mori Kogoro Lowered his Head, concentratingly Looking at the Photos. "If I were to reluctantly Say..."
Inspector Megure hurriedly pressed, "Reluctantly Say, how about it?"
Mori Kogoro raised his Head and said seriously, "The three of them are all mixed-race! Moreover, they are all Children from single-parent Families!"
"Huh?" Inspector Megure had Black Lines on his Forehead.
The other Humans were also Speechless and in Silence.
"That's right," Mori Kogoro said with a dry laugh. "No Matter how I Look, I Think they are not pure Japanese..."
Suzuki Sonoko took the Photo from Mori Kogoro's Hand and said Speechlessly, "Uncle, This Is the Recently popular 101 hot girl style. It's Just a Makeup that darkens the Skin. Uncle, you wouldn't Don't Know, right?"
"Nonsense," Mori Kogoro made an Effort to maintain his own shattered Dignity. "How could I Possibly Don't Know? I was Just making a Joke..."
"By the Way, Sonoko, where is Ran?" Conan asked Suzuki Sonoko.
"She is going to the Washroom and asked me to Come Over to this Shop First," Suzuki Sonoko explained.
Inspector Megure pressed down on the Hat on his Head. "Then let's go back and Search Command!"
Sato Miwako Followed and Got Up. "Then I..."
"No Need to be Bait Again!" Inspector Megure said resolutely.
Conan quietly Approached the nearby Seat where Chi Feichei was sitting with lowered Eyes drinking Coffee. "Hey, I Say, you..."
Chi Feichei drank a sip of Coffee, put down the Coffee Cup, and raised his Eyes to Look at Conan. "What's Wrong with me?"
Conan was Be Stunned. Gossip Whether Chi Feichei had a Girlfriend Previously, Seemingly A Bit hard to Ask. Ask Chi Feichei Why his Car speed is So Fast, even harder to Ask. Suddenly, he had Bean Eyes. "Nothing," he said. "I wanted to Ask Whether you are Interested in this Case. Today, you Suddenly said So Many things very Seriously..."
By the Way, asking for a Monthly Pass!
