While you could argue that it was possible, there is really little
direct evidence from the manga that he does know pressure points. Most
of the time Ranma learns something from Happosai (the first Hinako story
arc) or has it done to him.
I can't imagine Ranma-neko disposing of the bodies the way the killer has.
Ranma hasn't shown any more intelligence while in the Neko-ken than a
normal Ranmaverse animal -- uh, perhaps even less now that I think about
it.
Unless it isn't Ranma-neko disposing of the bodies. But the killer
talks! you say... Are we reading the killer's actual words, or what the
killer is saying?
Don't cats bring home their kills...? And why do they do that,
anyway...?
Of course, the whole neko thing could be a massive red herring designed
to direct attention away from the real killer while the reader
postulates ways that Ranma could be the killer, or that someone is
trying to frame him...
