The Tokyo Wara Ningyo Murders
prologue
_____________________________________________________________
On October 28, 2013, repetition of a series of murders previously recorded reared it's head. If it's been done, then this should be easy, right? For Near, Linda, and the Japanese task force, this, sadly, is incorrect.
At the first murder scene, there were 4 wara ningyo nailed 2 the wall, which translated, is "straw doll". Another thingwasthatallthedoorshadbeenlockedfromtheinside. Thesetwo details of murder have been recorded before. On July 31st, 2002, the first murder of three occurred the last, was an attempted suicide by the killer himself. Luckily, Naomi misora, L's temporary arms and legs, foiled the attempt. The detective L as well as misora, have long since, been deceased. The BB murder cases.
However, as I said, these events happened occurred again in 2013. Same strategy, same killer, right? There is a problem with this theory. First of all, the killer was put on a life sentence in prison for his crime. So? He broke out! Well, prison wasn't the biggest flaw in the theory. The factor that makes this theory completely impossible is this. On january21, 2004, Beyond Birthday, the killer, died of a mysterious heart attack right around the time Kira took his rein. Beyond Birthday is dead. The theory that the same killer was responsible for this murder was quickly abandoned.
L now has a successor. With Linda as his woman of action, and roger as watari, near has become the world's greatest detective.
