Belli Tries to Catch the Zodiac, Explained：crack the code

On the surface it is a sting: a lawyer and the police set up a secret meeting and wait for a call. Underneath, the killer toys with them, complaining of headaches and saying, "I kill, I don't get them," before they rule him out because the voice is too young.

あらすじ

A lawyer arranges a secret meeting with the police, hoping a caller will give himself up as the Zodiac. On the phone the man complains of headaches and insists he does not want the gas chamber. The police record it, play it back, and decide the voice is too young to be their suspect.

「Belli Tries to Catch the Zodiac」を読み解く

What's really going on

The scene turns on a question that never gets a clean answer: is this the killer or just a disturbed man? The caller borrows the Zodiac's language—headaches, the gas chamber, the promise that talking keeps him safe—and even offers a chilling trade, "I kill, I don't get them." It is exactly the kind of detail that would fit, and exactly the kind a lonely attention-seeker might invent. The police hedge, noting the voice is too high and too young, and let him go. Around that call sit letters and ciphers, and a quiet bar conversation about who really cracked the code, which keeps the hunt going long after the meeting ends.

Theme

DeceptionA caller borrows the killer's story so convincingly that the police can't tell if it's real.
IdentityThe letters insist the writer looks entirely different the rest of the time, turning identity into a disguise.

発音のポイント

  • talk to me — weak form
  • great deal of pain — liaison
  • Take care of yourself — liaison
  • make fun of it — liaison
You won't get hurt if you talk to me.

The lawyer's promise to the caller: cooperate and you stay safe, a lure built into the trap.

"The rest of the time I look entirely different.

The letter's claim that the killer's everyday face is a disguise, which makes every witness description unreliable.

You fellows certainly know how to put on a secret meeting.

A dry jab at the police's elaborate setup, spoken as if the trap were merely bad hosting.

You wouldn't make fun of it if you tried it.

A playful defense of an odd drink, and a reminder that mockery often comes from ignorance.

このシーンについての質問

Why do the police set up a secret meeting?

They hope the caller who claims to be the Zodiac will show up and identify himself, using the promise of safety to draw him in.

Was the caller actually the Zodiac?

The police don't think so. When they play back the call, they say the voice is too high and too young to match the suspect.

What does the letter say about his disguise?

It claims he looks like the description only while committing a crime, and that the rest of the time his appearance is completely different.

Who cracked the first cipher?

A married couple who enjoy puzzles solved it, which then raised the question of what that actually tells them about the killer.
