Chapter 21: The Case
Victor Carpenter is probably a good enough detective. Although there are not enough examples to prove that he is a good detective, Victor Carpenter has no doubts about his abilities. The members of the Potato Society also knew that Victor Carpenter was a capable man.
But he has never received serious cases, only some cases of finding kittens and puppies, and helping to find some elderly people who have been lost due to Alzheimer's disease. Presumably the other detectives were good enough to handle the case properly, and most people subconsciously chose to ignore the newcomer Victor Carpenter. But there is probably a day when someone who is capable will come out - and he has now been given a chance.
An extremely cruel case of rape and murder was entrusted to him to investigate. On the one hand, detectives do have a good IQ, and many cases can be solved quickly when handed over to them; on the other hand, detectives want to accumulate fame by relying on this, and many wealthy businessmen are more accustomed to finding some detectives with a good reputation to help them deal with some small secrets than the police; this is the Nordic atmosphere, and China has never had this habit.
Probably because the prototype of the detective who swept the world was the famous detective Charlotte Holmes, who appeared in the nineteenth century. (This world has changed slightly from our real world, after all, in order to avoid harmony, most cities are now in such an overhead situation, and for the plot, I have also made some adjustments, so please don't sit in the right seat,) so every year many Sherlock Holmes fans come here for a "pilgrimage".
Victor Carpenter naturally wanted to find someone to share with in his heart, and this Oriental, who was mysterious everywhere and had enough force and wisdom, was obviously the most suitable for the current member of Tudou - Ye Yan.
Victor Capone nodded, he naturally didn't recommend bringing a family member of his own, but he looked at Su Yan with a lot of difficulty, because he knew that this case was not very "good-looking".
Victor Carpenter thought for a moment and said: "If you want to go and see, there is no problem, but this case is a bit 'ugly'. ”
Ye Yan groaned slightly, and understood Victor Carpenter's pun, it seems that this case is not only quite difficult, but the scene may also be very cruel. Ye Yan has seen a lot of wind and waves, so he naturally doesn't care, but Su Yan can't do it. So Ye Yan looked at Su Yan, and Su Yan said empathetically, "That...... I'm not going, I'm just a little tired. ”
But Ye Yan was obviously a little worried about leaving Su Yan here alone, and looked at Victor Carpenter again: "I don't know where the destination is?"
"Hmm......" Victor Carpenter recalled slightly, "the Terrance neighborhood." ”
He nodded: "Then take my girlfriend with you, and let her go back to the residence to rest halfway." ”
"Good. Naturally, Victor Carpenter did not disagree.
So, Ye Yan and Su Yan got into Victor Carpenter's car and headed towards the Terence neighborhood. On the way, Ye Yan sent a message to Liu Ruyi, asking her to send someone to take Su Yan to her side. Abroad, it is not as good as at home. Huaxia still needs to worry about many gangsters who want to do wrong, in this foreign country where the atmosphere is more open and the people are more perverse, Su Yan, a soft foreign woman, has always needed to worry.
China has a civilization of 5,000 years, and the Confucian etiquette, righteousness, and shame have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so there is actually an invisible moral monument in everyone's bones, reminding people to do righteous deeds. Although it has gone through the baptism of war in modern times, etiquette has collapsed, and the quality of the people may be low today, but the moral concept is undoubtedly still very high.
On the way, Victor Carpenter stopped at an intersection, Ye Yan sent Su Yan to sit in Liu Ruyi's car, and then said a few words of greeting, and then went to the destination with Victor Carpenter, Ye Yan had a hunch that maybe this time he would get an unexpected harvest.
While driving the car, Victor Carpenter introduced Ye Yan: "You have just arrived, and you may not know much about Fei Leng Cui. The Lawrence Quarter has been an interesting place since ancient times. In the middle of the 19th century, there was a detective named Charlotte Holmes, who was the prototype of Sherlock Holmes. He, like Zhong, is an extremely good detective, and any difficult case, in his eyes, seems to have been magnified by a magnifying glass, and no matter how prepared the criminals come, they can't escape his eyes. ”
Victor Carpenter is quite yearning: "He helped the police solve many cases, so from that time on, detectives have come into the police's field of vision more and more, and their status has become higher and higher, and it is still thanks to him." He is the myth of us detectives. In the Lawrence neighborhood, there is a detective agency he opened, which is now protected as a cultural heritage. ”
"Again...... Have you ever heard of medieval Assassin legends?" asked Victor Carpenter.
Ye Yan nodded, he had more or less heard about this medieval assassin organization, in Fei Lengcui, the popularity of this assassin organization was still very high, similar to the popularity of Huaxia's "Journey to the West". Like the Monkey King, who escorted the Monkey King to the Western Heavens, the Assassin Order was also legendary to protect the people and liberate many regions from the rotten Christian Church. However, there is no official history of the Assassins, perhaps the Christians erased this history at the time, or perhaps they were simply imaginary heroes of the impoverished people.
Victor Carpenter grinned, "This Assassin Order is said to have set up an underground entrance in the Lawrence Neighborhood that leads to their underground palace. This attracted countless enthusiasts to explore, but in any case, they did not find the slightest clue. ”
Ye Yan smiled slightly and did not comment. Most of these legends are very realistic, but there is no real thing that can be referred to. For example, there are many good deeds in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" who believe that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" actually records the earth's landforms in ancient times, which is proof of the existence of myths, but no matter how tempting the hypothesis is, they still can't find any evidence to prove it. Even Sima Qian said that the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was too absurd and weird to use as a material.
"What's the situation in this case?" Ye Yan asked, looking at the speeding scenery outside the window.
Victor Carpenter paused for a moment, as if to organize the language, and said: "In a certain alley in Lawrence, a female corpse was found, killed by a strong external force, her limbs were broken, and the police said that she had been ravaged and ravaged before her death. ”
"Hiss!" Ye Yan couldn't help but gasp and clenched his fists, he had never had a good impression of this kind of criminal, and this criminal's methods were so cruel.
