BRUTALITY IN BROAD DAYLIGHT? ABYSMAL DARK CLOUDS IN RACCOON
Regarding the series of massacres that have already reached 30 cases this month, local city police authorities have announced they will specially establish a joint investigation command center. Though there has been no contact between suspects at all, the MO and circumstances of the victims are similar, "the joint investigation will be appropriate and reasonable" and the scale and contents regarding the investigation have yet to be announced.
Although the authorities are still avoiding a detailed announcement about the connected cases, they have not broken from preventing the crimes of piggyback or copycat criminals. Additionally, some news outlets have obtained information regarding a fact that "the suspects had lost their memories at the time of the crime", and authorities have refused to comment, suggesting difficulties in the investigation.

新聞紙（事件に関して）
白昼の凶暴化？ラクーンに底知れぬ暗雲
市警当局は、今月すでに30件にも達している一連の殺傷事件について、特別合同捜査本部を設置すると発表。容疑者同士の接点が全くないにも関わらず、その犯行手口や被害者の状況が酷似しているため「合同捜査が合理的かつ妥当」としており、規模や捜査内容については未発表。
当局は関連事件についての詳細発表を依然避けているが、便乗犯や模倣犯の犯行を未然に防ぐためとの見解を崩していない。また一部報道機関が入手したとされる「容疑者は犯行時に記憶を失っていた」という情報の真偽についても、当局はノーコメントを貫いており、捜査の難航が伺える。

DAYLIGHT SLAYING? CLOUDS LOOM OVER RACCOON CITY
R.P.D announced it will set up a special joint investigation HQ for a serial murder case in which over 30 murders have already occurred. While there is no connection between suspects, the methods in which the victims were slain are all similar. Ordering a joint investigation into the serial murders was the rational thing to do. The scale and the detail of the investigation has not yet been made public.
The authorities have been avoiding announcing any details of the cases. They are sticking with that stance to prevent any copycat crimes from occurring. Rumor has it that a certain member of the press has obtained some information. The suspect was temporarily insane at the time of the incident. Authorities continued to take a "no comment" stance on the factuality of those rumors. The case seems quite problematic.
