On May 21st, an enveloped letter arrived at INTERPOL HQ. No one can explain how it arrived.
The letter reads as follows:
"Twice before have my predecessors attempted to murder in specific ways. Twice before have my predecessors attempted to mess with police databases. I believe that I can restore their honors.
I have killed 11 different people on 6 different occasions in 6 different locations. Each occasion was no more than a year later than the previous one. On each occasion I have worn a different colored disguise and left different objects, each wearing a special stamp, as calling cards. In 48 hours from the time you open this letter I will kill once again in the town of Wem.
You will gather the greatest minds in the world to stop me. I will foil them and restore honor to my predecessors."
Additionally contained in the letter were two lists. The first reads:
"Locations: Louvre Museum, Disney World, Atlantic Ocean, Hong Kong, New Guinea, Long Island
People: Winston Zeddemore, Mr. & Mrs. Baker, Kimberley Kitching, all 3 of the Jonas Brothers, Mickey & Minney Mouse, Maebara Keiichi & Ryūgū Rena
Disguise Colors: Cream, Red, Hazel, Banana, Turquoise, Ruby
Calling Cards: A Playing Card (Two of Diamonds), Dimes inserted into each of the victims eyes, A standard carton of eggs, An unconcious teenager, A six-sided die, Gloves inserted into the nether region(s) of the victim(s)
Dates: December 13th, April 23rd, January 15th, September 12th, July 14th, November 8th"
And the second list, being not of things but of 23 facts, reads:
"Case 1 happened on January 15th.
Either the Bakers were killed directly after Mickey and Minnie, or the Cases all happened in one year.
The murders in the USA did not happen in Autumn.
The 1st Case did not involve the Teenager.
The Atlantic Ocean Case had the Playing Card and the New Guinea Case had Dimes.
