64. The case is in turmoil

Lestrade didn't know anything about Angelia and the bear child, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to call, and Jack the Ripper, who originally appeared in modern times, easily left clues, although the area was mixed, but the surveillance camera was still good to use, and it was not broken after inspection. And it's not like the case that Lestrade had done before, the case of the Thirteen Atonements.

The surveillance camera is just outside the church, there are no other exits, no sewers or anything like that, and it is inevitable that the murderer and the victim will leave evidence as long as they enter the area. Lestrade swears that they can catch the murderer's shadow, but who knows that things have changed.

Donovan sued him for a very strict incident after returning to Scotland Yard, and the surveillance footage of the place was temporarily out of order.

When he heard the news, Lestrade frowned, out of order?! How is it possible, even if London's surveillance system is not comprehensive, but it will still be checked regularly, not to mention the broken, the policy that can be used is to ensure that they do not fail.

"There must be something going on here, a sudden malfunction?! How can it be? ”

Donovan was also in a hurry, but the number of jΓΉ had been destroyed and could no longer be recovered, because Scotland Yard did not have such a good hacker.

"Boss, now this clue can't be investigated anymore."

Lestrade thought of someone who could help, but the case was too brutal for him to involve his bear child, otherwise he would have a powerful computer genius in his family, Harold Lestrade.

Lestrade scratched his head, this case is worse than anything, different from the corpse throwing in the humanoid doll case, this is completely an intentional homicide or unconditional intentional homicide case, cruelty Cheng DΓΉ has been rare for many years, the most important thing is that he is not sure whether the surveillance video is really broken, or whether there is some unknown secret behind the small incident.

Now I can't say clearly, I can only look at further exploration.

"After the autopsy report came out, I sent it over as soon as possible, and I also sent someone to show me the vicinity of the church, if it was really a imitation of the crime, I believe the murderer would have done it."

Donovan paused after saying yes, and then she asked Lestrade, "Boss, are you really sure it's a copycat?" ”

"I'm 90 percent sure that this crime is a copycat, and that the one being imitated is the notorious Jack the Ripper."

Jack the Ripper in the 19th century was completely a dark cloud hanging over the heads of people in London, especially for prostitutes at that time, in the 19th century was just on the eve of the Industrial Revolution, prostitution was a lowly profession but there were many people, Jack the Ripper brutally killed two people and then boldly provoked the police, which made this dark cloud a little darker.

It wasn't until the death of the fifth victim that Jack the Ripper vanished, never to be seen again and never to be caught again.

Lestrade guessed that there would be people who would worship Jack the Ripper, but what he didn't expect was that someone would have the audacity to make a parody in the eastern part of the city.

"Jack the Ripper ......"

Donovan chanted his name once, her face was also very bad, this time the matter was even worse than the previous one, after all, there are two concepts of burying the corpse and such a generous killing, plus the area is mixed, and there are already reporters who have heard the news and called Scotland Yard, if this is an ordinary homicide case, it may not attract more attention, but this is a parody crime that anyone can see......

"Did Miss Anna say anything useful?"

"Not yet, she's scared and wants our protection, and the people they have a professional contact with are confusing, and we don't know where to start with Miss Paula Wells, who is not a specific person to be adopted."

Lestrade sighed, he had thought of this for a long time, they really didn't know what to do, because no one could tell what kind of people the victim Paula Wells came into contact with every day, how many were her guests and how many were her friends, and it was very likely that the murderer was a person disguised as a guest, and he took Paula Wells to the back of the church and killed people in the name of fighting in the field.

"Does the victim, Miss Paula Wells, have any relatives or friends?"

"As far as I know, Miss Paula Wells is an orphan, with no relatives, and close friends are just colleagues."

Lestrade sighed, what do colleagues represent, it is all prostitutes/women, how many of them like to give sincerely.

"Orphan ......" Lestrade wrote something in his notebook with a pen, in fact, even if it is to check the network, it is useless, because the possibility of the murderer is that the victim knows someone is very small, and the possibility of being a previous guest is even smaller, and it is very likely that the murderer chooses the victim by randomness.

Paula Wells will be brutally murdered...... Unlucky.

"Check again."

Just as Donovan was about to leave, Lestrade suddenly called out to her, and he thought of a possibility that if the church's monitor was not there, then there would be any suspicious characters in the other sections, after all, the murderer could not be clean after the killing, and according to the amount of blood sprayed at that time, the murderer's body must have been stained with the blood of the victim Paula Wells.

"Donovan, you go and dismantle the monitor on the nearby road after the crime, are there any suspicious people or vehicles passing by, Miss Paula Wells is a resident of the neighborhood We can have two scenarios, one is that the murderer is disguised as a guest, and he drove back from another place under the pretext that Miss Wells wants to return to Miss Wells' residence, and the second is that the murderer is our victim who was found near the church, and then randomly chose the place."

There are two possibilities, but there are two ways to find out, the first is to find out where the suspicious vehicle and Miss Paula Wells was standing that night, and the second is that it is very likely that the murderer is a resident of a nearby neighborhood who already knows where to find the person he wants to attack.

"I'm going to ask Miss Anna if there's anything she knows."

Lestrade nodded, the surveillance footage and the location of the inquiry had to be carried out at the same time, and the case had to be resolved quickly, because he did not want to see the next victim appear.

In fact, if there were any clues left at the scene, maybe there would be a breakthrough in the case, but they detected the vicinity, but there was not even any blood left, and the murderer came prepared.

Lestrade was sitting in the office waiting for clues, but after waiting for a while, he couldn't sit still, he came to the interrogation room and stood behind the glass and looked at Anna sitting inside, she looked very frightened, after all, the identity of the victim was someone she knew, and the murderer was still a prostitute/woman, and the location was still near her residence, she was understandably afraid.

Lestrade made a cup of hot cocoa and put it in front of Anna, and he waved at the female subordinate who asked Anna to leave first, and here he took over.

Chocolate can be relaxing, and Lestrade didn't rush to ask, "Although it's summer, hot cocoa can make you relax, don't worry you're safe now, Miss Anna." ”

I don't know if Lestrade's masculine charm played a role, or if the hot cocoa calmed her down, in short, after a cup of hot cocoa, Anna's face was much calmer than before, she pursed her lips and whispered: "Is there anything the inspector wants to ask?" ”

"More than a problem, your ability to calm down is what I want to see the most."

Lestrade is not only a detective with a strong sense of responsibility and morality, he is also a gentleman, although the case is very tricky, it is not immediately detectable, he wants to see their insiders to remain calm, and does not want this incident not to leave a shadow on her.

When Donovan came to look for Lestrade, he saw the smiling Lestrade and Anna sitting across from him with a smile, she shook her head helplessly, their detective is like this, gentle and fatal, obviously the case over there can no longer wait for him, he still estimates the mood of the insider here, and when the little agent wants to go up and knock on the door, Donovan waved his hand, "You haven't been in the murder team for a long time, so you probably haven't seen the detective come to the interrogation room in person, You should also take a good look at how capable the person who can sit in the position of the detective of the murder team is. ”

He knew where to start to get Anna to relax and trust him, instead of just asking questions like those little agents.

"I'd like to know where Miss Paula Wells has been working lately."

Anna suddenly laughed, "You are really a gentle person, generally speaking, people like us who work are disgusted, we are different from those who have names, generally they call us pheasants." ”

Many of the ladies have a fixed job position, but some of the more low-level ones can only attract customers in other ways, such as Anna and Paula, who are not very young, not as beautiful as the little girls, and whose business is even more difficult and often ridiculed. Lestrade was one of the few people who smiled at her without any contempt in her eyes, so she changed her title.

"We don't have a fixed location, Paula Wells prefers to be close to our home than I am, and according to her, it's closer to home, so she can bring it to her home if she has special hobbies."

Nearby, Lestrade thought that the place where the murderer lived would not be too far away, because no one would hunt murderers in unfamiliar places, and unfamiliar streets would affect the speed at which they would leave.

"Does Miss Anna have any family? Maybe you can get away from the East End for a while lately. ”

Because of the particularity of the place and the profession, Lestrade still built yΓ¬ She left for a while, until the cruel murderer was caught/caught and came back, he looked at Anna's eyes very sincerely when he spoke, Anna pursed her lips and shook her head and said: "I don't have any relatives anymore, where else can I go." ”

"And tourism?"

Lestrade didn't want to see the young lady in front of him become a victim of himself one day, at least he wanted to provide her with another path.

"Mr. Inspector, you should rest assured, there are many people who are prostitutes/women and they will not be mine, so it's a big deal that I don't come out at home obediently."

I don't know if Anna is pretending to be relaxed or really relaxed, in short, she covered her mouth and smiled so that Lestrade doesn't have to worry about herself, Lestrade scratched her head and said that as long as she doesn't come out during this time, there shouldn't be any big problems, no matter how rampant the murderer is, he won't do it in broad daylight, so when he sent Anna out of this interrogation room, he left her his phone number, "If you have any clues or something, call me, I'll arrive immediately." ”

"Detective, you're so good, I want to seduce you."

Of course, this is just a talk, Anna waved at Lestrade and left with the other detective ranks, Donovan came to Lestrade's side and asked, "Any new clues?" ”

"According to the second check, the murderer must be a person who is familiar with the area, when will the surveillance video near it be available?"

"It's still under approval, but I'm already urging it, and it'll probably be soon."

In fact, they said a lot, but the most important thing is about Paula Wells's usual work position, which can probably be a breakthrough in the case.

"Anderson also has first-hand information."

"Say."

The first information is the preliminary autopsy, and it will take a day for further autopsies and more tests to come out, so this preliminary report is even more important before that.

Paula Wells, female, 36, registered as born on June 11, 1970, grew up in an orphanage in London and moved into the East End three years ago. The time of death was 2 a.m. on the evening of June 10, 2006, the cause of death was trachea and death, a total of 39 knives were counted on the body, of which 9 were on the face, the muscles and bones on the wrists and ankles were all broken, and the murder weapon was a dagger. ”

There was another day before Paula Wells' birthday, and Lestrade was silent when he heard about it, just one day away.

"Any clues?"

"A red and purple spot was found on the back of Miss Paula Wells' neck, and the forensic/medical authorities concluded that the killer had left traces that were probably left in the struggle, and that there were no other signs of assault on the victim Paula Wells, and it was certain that the murderer was only here to kill, and that it was an intentional homicide. The forensic/medical conclusion that the method of death is like a cross-century serial murder case, or what you call a parody case. ”

There is no trace of being violated, and it is closer to Jack the Ripper, but why would the murderer choose a prostitute/girl as a victim? There is no one to simply imitate Jack the Ripper, there must be some other reason for this, or something in common between them.

"Further autopsies will come out a day, and the interpreter has not ruled out whether Miss Paula Wells has a coma-causing drug in her body."

"Tsk, I don't want to see the next victim appear, speed up the investigation, and Miss Paula Wells's home also want to show me if there are any clues available, check all the people in the vicinity of the East End church, we still can't rule out that a suspicious person committed the crime, disguised as Jack the Ripper, although this possibility is really small."

Lestrade also gave a death order, even if there is no social pressure on this case, they must investigate it to the end, no matter how difficult it is in front of him, he will continue to investigate, he can't solve the case of Jack the Ripper many years ago, but the one that happened in front of him, whether it is a real person or an imitator, even if it is three feet into the ground, he will dig people out, and then arrest him for trial.

Even if Lestrade can't solve this case, he still has a trump card behind him, Sherlock Holmes has successfully recovered from drugs, and he can already participate according to the agreement.

Things didn't go in the direction that Lestrade imagined, and the right to view the surveillance system had been obtained, and who knew that the surveillance system before and after the deceased was returned had all disappeared, which made Lestrade begin to wonder if there was someone behind it, whether it was a high-IQ hacker or a related figure.

If it's a related person, it's going to be bigger.

Thank you, dear professor, for helping me clear the record. - Anonymous

I just want to see how much of a storm you're going to bring, and this kind of thing is just a gesture for me, and in return for you, I want to see what you do next. ――Jim

We're here to help. - Anonymous

Jim Moriarty closed his notebook, he picked up the whiskey next to him and took a sip, dear "Will" is not wrong, as long as you integrate yourself into this society, there are really a lot of interesting things, and there are many small fish that can be used You see this is a hooked, a murderer who found him after killing someone and wanted to let hackers help eliminate a qiΔ“.

As his first customer, Jim didn't mention any special requests, except that he wanted the anonymous to take further action, whatever it was, it would be very interesting, he thought.

"Dear 'Will', you are still very qualified as my enlightenment teacher."

An enlightened teacher in crime, "Will" was successfully remembered by Moria.

Hannibal didn't know about this, they had just returned home, and no one in the house was satisfied with Angelia's cousin, and probably everything ended in failure except that she was qualified when she entered the door.

"Harry, don't say you're sad?!" Loki leaned over Thor, looked at Harry, who seemed to be in a depressed mood, and asked, "Don't you say you really want that woman to be ours...... Mum's! ”

Harry patted Loki, "How is that possible, I'm just disappointed." ”

Yes, today's QiΔ“ plan was all planned by Harry, it was originally a very simple test, who knew that Angelia herself was very different from what Lestrade said, she was not prepared to be a mother of eight children at all, she was more like a child, so Harry was disappointed, he lowered his standards in the hope that she could pass the test, because he could see that Lestrade had put a lot of affection and energy into this relationship.

He wanted to have a partner by his side, both male and female.

Harry silently relaxed the criteria, regardless of whether it was a woman or a man, in short, it would be enough to be tested by Lestrade's liking by the way.

"Harry, you need to know that if it were that simple, dear Greg would have a new wife a long time ago, and we would have Mum too."

Harry sighed again, so he was even more worried.

"It's quite appropriate to die fat." Sherlock muttered, and he couldn't help but start to figure out what kind of family he would face if Lestrade and McCroft got married. First of all, he really became the uncle of the eight bear children, and there would be no ninth man, and secondly, Lestrade would have no excuse not to take him to the case, he would become a relative, and finally as long as McCroft found his other half, he would put his experience with Sherlock by his lover's side.

Thinking of this, Sherlock touched/touched his chin, and sure enough, whether it was Lestrade or not, his fat brother also needed to be in love.

Hannibal didn't try to persuade Harry again, because Harry Potter was a smart man and he knew how to get out of this misunderstanding.

He took out his phone, opened the webpage, and saw a message from Jim.

Dear Dr. Will, London is going to be interesting, I don't know if you're starting to look forward to it. ――Jim

I'm looking forward to seeing your transformation, whatever London looks like. ――W

Metamorphosis, Moriarty showed a strange smile, it turns out that dear "Will" defines him like this? He's in metamorphosis......

Then I will turn into a butterfly, my dearest doctor. ――Jim

Cocooned into a butterfly, Hannibal hooked the corners of his mouth, butterfly? A beautiful creature with only seven days of life, can this butterfly that is about to transform bring seven years?

Harold glanced at Hannibal meaningfully.
