July
9, 2013. It was released that the police's criminal investigation
unit had begun to carefully question a first year middle schooler boy
from the same city (12) regarding the news of the kidnapping and
murder of Tanemoto Shun (4) at Nagasaki City Kindergarten .Meanwhile,
on the internet, from July 7 the news was spreading that the criminal
was a young boy, long before the school and officials had begun the
process of identifying him.
There was still no agreement on the issue
when I, as a news expert in the making, stopped to check the reports.
However, on July 9th,
the dam was broken and the news began to appear on TV at once.
It
happened in the morning. I immediately fired up the video capture
software on the pc, I switched from channel to channel, trying to
understand the status quo.
The
on site cameras and the people's testimony, the footprints left at
the scene and the local school stuff, and other news sources I
watched, convinced me that the young boy was the culprit.
First
thing I turned to securing the boy's name and picture. What kind of
person was he? I was dying to see the boy's face. But no picture
could be found on internet bullet boards, so I began investigating.
On
the internet, the underground news site Cybazzi was set in motion
with the force of crashing waves. At the same time, the site 2ch's
news board was set into motion, going into a so-called 'festival'. The manager of the site, Hiroyuki-sama, even built a dedicated board.
