The famous British detective novelist Agatha Christie has a work called "Murder Notice", which tells the story of a newspaper in a small British town that announces a mysterious killing game.
Now, Tokyo, Japan, is also going to stage a realistic version of the "murder notice"?!
According to Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun reported on December 13, at about 9:20 p.m. on the 12th, the Japanese police received an alarm that "someone on Twitter posted a notice that random killings will be held in Tokyo", and the preview said that "ten people will be killed". The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department began to increase its vigilance around JR Tokyo Station on the evening of the 12th, and began to investigate the source of the news.
The user who posted the news was named "Dragon Tai Population Reduction Plan Last Task" (twitter: @r_t1379), and the tweet was instantly retweeted and spread, and many Twitter users informed the police. At present, a large number of police officers near Tokyo Station are on alert.
Since the tweet called the motive "revenge on society and women", the possibility of targeting the crime as a woman is not ruled out.
On the 12th, in addition to the tweet of the killing trailer, the user also posted tweets such as "want to see blood" and "want to kill a lot of people".
It is understood that Twitter user "Dragon Tai Population Reduction Plan Final Task" once released a preview of "random killing at a station in Yokohama City". Since this trailer has not been implemented, the large number of murders in Tokyo may also be just a prank.
At present, the user's Twitter account has been frozen.
Japanese netizens were terrified of the station killing trailer and reminded women to be careful when going out.
Just a decade ago, in 2008, there was a random killing at Akihabara Station in Tokyo. The prisoner, a 25-year-old male, drove a van into the pedestrian street, killing 3 people and injuring 2. Subsequently, the man got out of the car and stabbed 4 people with daggers and stabbed 8 people. The incident was Japan's worst criminal homicide in decades and shocked the whole country.
The Akihabara incident sparked concern about the prediction of random homicides and raised discussions about the divide between the rich and the poor and the ills of society.
