The Case of the Ikebukuro Ripper

Lexicon Entry
One day in Ikebukuro, the upper half of a high school girl's severed body was discovered.

The incident paralleled the urban legend of Teke Teke, the vengeful spirit of a schoolgirl who was cut in two. This captured the public's imagination, and rumors spread that the victim had been a bully at school, and that a girl she had bullied into committing suicide returned as Teke Teke to take revenge on her.

Downtown, who was not a detective at the time, sensed something was amiss and began looking into the flurry of Teke Teke rumors herself.

What her search revealed was that the victim had not been the school's head bully, and that another student was the actual ringleader. In other words, the Teke Teke crimes may not have been over yet.

Downtown gave up trying to convince the police after they brushed her off, instead relying on her network of friends to launch a full-scale investigation.

Following this case, "Detective Gyaru," as she was formerly known, gained widespread attention, resulting in her induction into the Detective Alliance.
