Correct Answers
Jenna: Wow... You're brilliant, why were you never a detective? You'd literally be a real-life Sherlock Holmes.
Nikita: I really wanted to be a detective. But you'll see soon enough that it just wasn't the time... nor the place for that.
Jenna: This case reminds me of the Zodiac Killer... The riddles... Kind of similar to the Zodiac Killer ciphers.
Nikita: Yeah... but the Zodiac Killer was never caught.
Jenna: He was probably even smarter than the killer you're describing now...
Nikita: Or the investigators trying to find the Zodiac Killer weren't as smart as my team.
Jenna: There were hundreds of people, thousands even... that looked at the Zodiac Killer ciphers.
Nikita: And yet... I remember you saying I was one in 10 billion.
Jenna: Well... How did you catch this "Riddle" killer?
Nikita: When I alerted Kostya about the new target, someone at the morgue on the Moskva River, I quickly figured out that person was already dead...
The killer's game, like any other game, had rules. He killed 16 hours after the police began investigating the previous victim.
So my brother and I figured out the riddles too late, the next victim was already dead... But this time, we weren't far behind him... so I found out a new piece to the puzzle.
I suspected something very early on while investigating the second body... and I was right. Chloroform was used.
Chloroform can render a person unconscious and will be lethal with a greater dose.
Chloroform is a colorless, volatile liquid derivative of trichloroethane. That is not difficult to synthesize.
The victims were dead before the killer made the incisions. The bloody mess at each scene was a red herring... a distraction... a part of his game.
Jenna: Well, that still doesn't explain how you caught him tough.
*Nikita stares at Jenna*
Nikita: You've inched closer with every word I've emitted. Your curiosity is... transcendental... it's concerning.
Jenna: Well... Nikita, you're an interesting person... But, yeah, so how'd you catch the "Riddle" killer?
*Nikita nods slowly*
Nikita: You'll see.
