Kostya: Your theory was correct, Nikita. The killer has been killing two people per day with cocaine, and the drug was altering the perceived time of death.
Detective Andrei said he was able to talk to the man who found the bodies, but the man didn't give us much more information.
Additionally, Detective Andrei thinks we are dealing with a pair of killers.
Nikita: With all due respect, sir, I don't think it was a duo. The detective is wrong.
Kostya: How can you be certain?
Nikita: Because I think I know who it is.
Kostya: I was just going to ask you if you had more information for me... but I guess you've already solved it?
Nikita: Indeed, I have.
Kostya: Let's hear it.
From the initial deduction, I was able to narrow in on a prime suspect.

I know that these crimes were likely committed by one person who is a vigilante, but why use cocaine?
Hmm... I wonder if there are more than eight bodies... maybe there are more locations.
I need to find out if there have been other deaths due to cocaine overdose.

Interesting...
I think I have a good starting point.
Kolya was very young when he died from the cocaine overdose.
A child dying from cocaine is certainly problematic.
This child's death will impact his parents the most.
Let me investigate his parents.
The database is telling me that Kolya's mother died when he was young.
Kolya had a single father for most of his life.
Kolya's father, Anatoly, is a high-paid doctor.
A high-paid doctor... working long hours... with no family.
Anatoly was never a killer, he was a doctor. He helped people live.
So, if he did kill, this explains the lack of brutality and the precise needle injection.
Anatoly is quite intelligent... His methods were well-thought-out.
He wanted revenge, he wanted to kill people who supply cocaine, because that's how his son died.
I feel... alive... I can use my brain for the greater good.
Forensics... justice... revenge.

Present Day
Nikita: No surprise here, but I was right. The team was happy to call the case solved.
Jenna: Your voice doesn't sound excited... Were you not excited to have solved that case?
Nikita: You have to understand, I sent this man to his death by telling the police what I knew.
Jenna: But he was a killer, right? Isn't that justice?
Nikita: He was a killer of killers.
Jenna: The world is a complex place, Nikita... There's a gray line in almost anything... but murder is not one of those things.
*Nikita analyzes Jenna's every movement*
Nikita: Careful, Jenna. It's naïve to think there is anything concrete in this world... especially the line between good and evil.
*Jenna continues to listen*
Nikita: Anyway, the Cocaine Killer was my first case. I solved a few more murders after that, but I'll skip to my second most memorable one.
Jenna: It's interesting to hear how you solve cases, your deductions are so accurate and you make them so quickly.
Nikita: The next one wasn't so easy.
