What happened to the unsolved serial murder in the "Lover Hotel" in Shinjuku?

In Japan, couples hotels have always been popular, convenient, romantic and highly confidential. In the 1980s, a large number of couples hotels appeared in the booming Tokyo, Japan. Shinjuku, known as kabukicho in Japan, is an entertainment place. In the 1980s, Shinjuku, Tokyo has become an international entertainment destination for many foreigners. It is high consumption and drunken entertainment that attract many young Japanese women.

In the bustling Shinjuku, there is a quiet and mysterious place: Love Hotel Area. There are many private hotels for men and women. 1981On the morning of March 20th, the staff of a couple's hotel here found that the check-out time was approaching for a room that the occupants didn't want to check out at all. This is rare in couples hotels, and most people will choose to check out early. The employee realized that there might be a problem and opened the door without anyone answering. To my surprise, a woman was strangled. Since there is a victim in the back, let's call her a woman. The police quickly came to investigate and learned from the woman's business card that he was a club staff member, 33 years old. However, after careful investigation, it was found that woman A used a pseudonym, and her actual age was 45 years old. The case was deadlocked because the man who came with her left early, leaving no valuable clues.

An in-depth investigation of female A reveals her tragic life. A was born in Kobe and came here at the age of 22 with a dream of Tokyo. In the club, a woman met a married man, and soon after their divorce, they married another woman and they had a son. After marriage, their financial situation is not optimistic, and woman A is forced to go back to work in nightclubs. Since then, the husband and son are ill in bed and under great pressure. Maybe it's really unbearable for a woman to abandon her husband and son alone. Soon, her husband and son both died of illness. A woman later returned to Tokyo and continued to work in a nightclub until she was killed.

When the police investigated her home, they found a note with the death dates of her husband and son, as well as a tie clip of her husband and a photo of her son. This seems to be a woman full of painful memories. More than a month later, on April 25th, another woman was killed. Woman B checked into a love hotel with a man at 9: 00 p.m. and left early an hour later. The staff thought there might be a problem, and went to the room to ask, but found the body of woman B, who was about 20 years old and left no identity clues at the scene. No one knows who she is or where she comes from. The police released her photos all over the country, but failed to confirm her identity. Until today, Ms. B has not been confirmed.

More than a month later, on June 14, the third case occurred. Victim C, 17 years old, is from Saitama. After graduating from high school, the woman was addicted to it and often went to nightclubs. At this point, however, she already has a formal boyfriend. The boy is a gas station worker. Their parents have agreed to let them get married. On the day of the incident, woman C played billiards with her boyfriend and went home early. He took her to the subway station and left. Unexpectedly, a few hours later, woman C was killed in the Love Hotel. No one knows why C left her boyfriend and went to the Love Hotel, and no one knows who the murderer is.

Three similar cases occurred in succession, which caused panic in this area. Unexpectedly, on June 27, such a thing happened again. Of course, this 30-year-old woman D met a working-class man who was 1.6 meters high while killing time in the arcade, and they decided to go to a couple hotel. Upon arrival, the man suddenly attacked her and tried to strangle her. The woman tried to resist and the man took the money and ran away.

Since then, the serial killings in the lover's hotel have stopped. Because the hotel is too private, the staff can't find out the identity of the guests. In the 1980s, due to the limited investigation tools, the Shinjuku area was in chaos, and the police could not find the criminals according to the clues they had. Of course, because the victims were all nightclub workers, their deaths were not paid attention to, and the unsolved cases gradually faded away.
