It's about 15K, but think of it as both teaser and thought experiment. I
look forward to your responses, both public and private.

Okay.  My thoughts on this...

1. Your attention to detail has always taken my breath away.  This is no
exception.  Every last police homicide procedure given, every 'i' dotted,
every 't' crossed.  Very nice.

2. You do realize you're going to infuriate one group of fans by the end?
No matter which one you choose, you're going to anger the supporters of
that character, as they'll say 'oh, he/she would NEVER do that...' and
slap little OOC tags over you.  Wear Nomex when you release the last
chapter, and ignore the heat.  ^_^

3. My response to them is this: Look at the personality profiles of the
serial killers throughout history (both recent and deep-past).  Although
primarily male, they have been from almost all walks of life and all
upbringings.  Offhand I'm tempted to say Ranma did it while in cursed
form (the evidence suggests a female perpetrator, after all), but in truth
it could be any of them.

Overall, it's a good beginning.  I reserve judgment, though, for when the
work is completed.
