Section 36 (UNEDITED)

As the Chief expected, as soon as the next morning dawned, New York plunged back into fear. Alvin Jones's name was barely forgotten and the colour was completely faded, and the crime, which was "estimated" to be done by him was happening again. Although the police did not disclose the contents of the letter due to concerns about the possibility of a new copycat emerging and the citizens panicking, the media made it realistic that the terrible serial killer appeared again with the proofs in their hands. The best of all was the news, but other show programs began to make a lot of noise again under the name of Alvin Jones. Why did he come back, and what is he going to do in the future? People's attention has been focused on it.

Given the circumstances, it was natural for the Chief to burst into a fit of rage at Jeffrey's insinuating remarks in the conference room.

"-Ah yeah, why don't you announce that Alvin Jones did it?"

“Are you out of your mind?! It's already like this when the news says it's similar to his crime, but if the police tell them that he did it, what's going to happen to the city? Do you want to make New York a deserted city all of a sudden?!”

"Listen a little bit. When we broadcast Alvin Jones on air, if this killer we're looking for is a copycat, isn't it possible that we'll get a call from the real Alvin Jones? Even though he wasn't interested in the media, he was a man of considerable confidence in himself."

"......do you mean to use this murderer to pull Alvin Jones out?"

When Tim asked in a reluctant voice, Jeffrey nodded. One of the police officers sitting in the conference room said in an unconfident tone.

"Is that, uh, possible? Actually, I don't think we'll have enough power to focus on catching this killer. With the addition of Alvin Jones dragged into this, it's not going to work."

“I don't mean to actively engage Alvin Jones and mix him up with this investigation. It's best to find him to catch this killer, and make progress on both investigations. Of course, we'll have to worry about finding this killer and catching him, but it'll cost the FBI more power. First of all, it is very unlikely that talking to him will be a minus for us...”

Bang! The door opened, violently cutting off Jeffrey's words. All eyes in the conference room turned to it, and the policeman, who suddenly caught the attention of the people inside, gasped and said.

"Well, just now, I got a call for you, name, his name is Alvin Jones, what should I do?"

Jeffrey jumped up from his seat. "Wait a moment, I'll be there right now!"--followed by his wild steps, the policemen followed suit in unison. After all of the detectives stand-by on the side, Jeffrey picked up the phone. Licking his lips once, he seemed a little nervous about the sudden event.

"Jeffrey Dowman."

[Alvin Jones.]

It was a voice with a delicate note. Is this the right voice?-Jeffrey asked Jude with a wink, and Jude nodded.

"Yes, what happened all of a sudden? You're trying to make sure that this murder wasn't your fault? Or vice versa?"

[I don't want to talk long, so let's make it concise. He's not me.]

"Hooh, yes. But why do you call me on purpose and tell me? It hasn't been announced for sure that it was you."

[I don't care about every copycat crime either. I'm not interested. However, I couldn't help but pay attention to the letter he left under my name. He seems determined to get on my nerves.]

The air froze for a moment. Jeffrey, too, seemed quite surprised at this, kept his eyes wide open and his mouth shut for a long time before barely stuttering.

"Wait, a letter. What are you talking about?"

[I said I'd cut it short, right? Let's not talk about childish tricks. But let me tell you one thing, it won't be necessary for the police to worry much. I promise that you don't even have to care about this. I bet it's not going to take long. Then.]

"No, wait, wait! What do you mean it won't take long...... you mean you'll find him and take care of him with your own hands? Something like that?"

[Jeez, wasn't it fully his intention?]

The voice bore a smile similar to mockery. While all the police were silent, Jeffrey, who touched his mouth once, said in a calm voice.

"That's difficult, if you want to prove it's not you, just helping us is enough. You see, if we catch him, he'll be losing everything he's ever done if he pretended to be you. Isn't that what you want?"

[Ah, you want to put him in court. That man.]

A voice with low laughter rang like a giggle. While all the polices’ nerves focused on the voice in trepidation, the voice passed softly and coldly.

[-Then, you'd better find him before me.]

Tutt. The line was cut off. Taking the receiver off his ear as if lightly disgusted, Jeffrey looked back at the agent who was trying to trace his location on one side. His face was twisted in perplexity.

"I'm sorry, is there an institution around that transmits and receives strong radio waves, or is there any engineer around?.... I think the signal is interrupted, the location is not clear."

"No, that's enough. If he’s going to get this far, he’s not going to get caught immediately. It's more difficult than that."

Licking his parched lips once, Jeffrey chewed his low lip and spat, looking around the cops standing like ice columns.

"We're in a position to find and protect that copycat before this guy, gentlemen. Do you have any good ideas?"

Next Chap 》 Section 1 (UNEDITED) Psychopath. Most serial killers fall under this category, and most of them carry out bizarre crimes for sexual pleasure or satisfaction. Because they cannot empathize with other people’s feelings, they inflict terrible pain upon others, but they don't feel any sympathy or compassion for that. They in fact enjoy it and even feel positive emotions in the act itself. What distinguishes them from ordinary criminals is that they have nothing rationally abnormal, and their problems are limited to ethical things. It can also be considered as a ‘morally-disabled-person’, and psychopath does not equate to low intelligence, rather, they have average or sub-intelligence. In reality, a serial killer with great intelligence, such as Hannibal Lecter, rarely exists. Typical psychopaths include Jack the Ripper of England and Ted Bundy of the United States, who liked to describe their crimes in detail with a sparse moral sense. But one thi

Prev Chap Next Book Epilogue (UNEDITED)   The weather was warm enough to be a little hot. Now the old woman, with light-grey strands began to mix in her hair, stopped her hands as she was pruning the garden and straightened her back for a while. Perhaps because of her age, her body, which used to be unaffected even after spending hours in the garden, was creaking strangely these days. After a few pats on the waist, she suddenly looked back on the quiet side of the road. It’s the suburb of Chicago and a man was walking carelessly on the road with few people coming and going. Dark blond hair and green eyes, he had only one small backpack on his shoulder. The old woman tilted her head. It was very rare for an outsider to enter this town. Glancing around and looking all over the place, he soon found the old woman and shouted and asked. "Well, which way do I have to go to get out of this

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 22.1 (UNEDITED) The static, hazy fluorescent light flickered once again. On this rainy night, the lights are likely to go out, accompanied by the sound of the wind outside the window, and the pleasant experience of a serial killer in the ear. If it’s a TV program, he would enjoy it with a glass of draft beer. With a small grumble, Jude leaned over the sofa and stretched his legs. The sound of rain blocked by the window hit the ear noisily. “Why?” [That would be better said later. Or the tension will lessen.] “Oh, you should be the movie director. So, what did you film at the beginning, director?” [The point here is, they weren’t closely related. Well, considering the grandfather’s big fortune, it wouldn’t have been too much. They were a little bit awkward since they don’t see each other much, and they were good at picking things up along the way. On the surface, they weren’t that bad, they were just polite people.

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 23.1 (UNEDITED) "......Jude." "Huh?" "Don't you have anything to cook at home?" "Yes, I don't." "......do you live on beer?" The first time he set foot in Jude’s old apartment; it was the scene before his eyes that made Tim’s brain exploded before he could feel any appreciation. The clothes that were thrown away here and there, the fluorescent lights that flickered like the morgue lights, and most of all, the unbearable thing was the table with the beer cans lying here and there and on the cabinet. Whether or not he noticed that Tim’s face was slightly stiffened, Jude answered, throwing the house key roughly onto the table. "No, I eat peanuts, too." ".....let's go grocery shopping tomorrow when we come back." "No, Tim. Two men get misunderstood when they go grocery shopping." Giggling, Jude flopped down on the sofa. Avoiding clothes an

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 23.2 (UNEDITED) "Ah, no I'm not working. Stop it, my friend's here. He’s a cop? What, you want him to catch you? Yes, do this next time. No, that doesn't mean I’m going to pick up. Are you crazy? Do you want me to keep talking to someone else on the phone? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm hanging up." He put down the receiver, and Jude flopped down next to Tim. After a moment of hesitation, Tim hemmed and hawed then opened his mouth. "Who is it?" "Oh, you know the guy whom I got the phone call from in front of Jeffrey before. He says he’s being chased for debt, but he keeps asking this poor policeman for help." "………. since when did you know each other?" Instead of answering, Jude stared at Tim with his green eyes unwittingly. At the sight, a fever rose as if the back of his head was burning. Trying to quell the heat, Tim picked up the beer can with little content left. He licke

Prev Chap Next Chap Section 24.1 (UNEDITED) The hinges of the rusty door made an irritating sound. Being used to it, Jude kicked the door half-heartedly and closed it. A pale fluorescent light, like a dead fish eye, lit the room slightly. An envelope containing some food recipe was thrown carelessly over the sofa, and the blond detective settled on the sofa. After watching a baseball game with Jude yesterday, Tim, who slept comfortably in the squalid house, did not say he would come to Jude's house today seeing that things had been resolved. Jude was told to eat properly and was given a paper with a simple recipe when it was printed. And seeing Jeffrey come back and say, "Did you have something to say?" Tim seemed to have somehow found his backbone inside him. Recalling what he said to Tim last night, Jude looked down for a moment. Memories before ten years old. First scene. A girl caught by a robber. Alvin Jones. It was Alvin Jones after
