Lost Memories | A Liskook Adaptation

Chapter 98: Three Person from Day Till Night Part 2

Kim Seokjin shows an intrigued expression as he listens attentively.

"Whether it's the choice of victims, the method of the explosion, or the location, we can clearly see this trait. Not only are targeted individuals killed, innocent civilians are also killed. Among them are both young and the elderly; male and female. There are no connections or patterns, showing rather a randomness in choices. He changed his method of explosion and location many times, and this was definitely not a criterion from the criminal organization. It feels as if he was constantly trying new things, and as if he takes this murdering act as a game."

Kim Seokjin nods with a focused expression.

Lalisa continues, "Secondly, his age from back then was likely to be around 20 to 30 years-old. He was already an adult and not too young. If he was too young, it would have been hard for him to grasp the intricate knowledge of creating the explosives and he would not have the strength to complete his crimes. He wouldn't have been too old either because if he was an older person, he would have completed many crimes and even a psychopath would not be so enthusiastic about trying new things. His process of killing would have been more stable and he would have chosen a method that he was most comfortable with yet he executed his crimes like a new amateur adventurer. Therefore, he should be around 25 to 35 years-old right now.

Thirdly, although he behaves like a child, he is merciless and has no sympathy. He left the many victims out in the open surrounded by bystanders and then let them explode and die. This was a way of toying with the victims as well as mocking the public and the police. To go a step further, this is a child's act of revenge. Therefore, he, himself, must have experienced a certain kind of betrayal or psychological harm.

Fourthly, since he possesses this kind of mind while committing all these murders, I'm going to guess that he must have hidden among the crowd and watched the victims feel helpless and embarrassed, and then felt satisfied inside. And since we haven't been able to catch him all this time, this proves that he hides very well. His looks didn't attract others, and he might have disguised himself as a college student or an ordinary passerby. He kept his emotions under control and was very observant.

Lastly, I believe that him back then and T have the same characteristics: young, don't have a fixed personality, and have intense emotions inside. And at the same time, his loyalty to the organization might also be the highest......" Speaking about all this, Lalisa smiles, "Who knows, maybe when we begin our mission to capture them, he would be the first to jump out and challenge the Black Shield Team."

Kim Seokjin's smile on his face grows bigger as he nods, "Your analysis is very good. But isn't there one thing that you missed?"

Lalisa's interest sparks. She puts the whiteboard marker down and walks to him with her hands behind her back looking at him, "What is it, what is it?"

The corners of Kim Seokjin's mouth move upward. He lifts his cup up, sips his tea and answers, "Most of the time, criminal psychology finds evidence through the criminal's 'already existing actions and behaviors. But sometimes, you can also find evidence from actions and behaviors that they 'don't have."

Lalisa is a bit stunned. She has really never heard of this before.

Kim Seokjin puts down his cup and continues, "With these many explosion cases and these many victims, there is one similarity: there were no children injured. If it was just once or twice, we could say that it was a coincidence, but with this many times, it can only be said that this serial killer was deliberately avoiding it. He did not want to kill any children.

Lalisa's jaw drops. She bends down to hold the mouse and flips through the documents again quickly-it really is the case!

"Therefore......" she lifts her head and looks directly at Kim Seokjin, "this serial killer still has one last bit of sympathy, but only towards children."
