66. New victims

Sherlock proposed a new direction to Lestrade, and his analysis of the murderer was very good, even the psychology expert Hannibal also said that from a psychological point of view, the murderer would not casually start imitating Jack the Ripper, there must be some connection in the middle, and the most likely thing is that the murderer probably saw his own shadow in Jack the Ripper.

Now some of the circumstances of the murderer can be analyzed, first of all, he is a single man, and his background should be relatively special, secondly, he has great strength, he is familiar with various roads near the church in the East Side, people who live in the East Side or who often come and go are very suspicious, and finally he is familiar with the veins of the human body and knows how to move in the dark. In this way, Scotland Yard still has to keep an eye on the East End, and if the murderer wants to imitate Jack the Ripper, he will definitely do it.

This is a good clue to investigate, knowing that although there will be many people who meet all the above conditions, it also delineates a range for Scotland Yard, and the next day Lestrade has his subordinates start from these conditions and use the method of elimination to find suspicious people.

A detailed autopsy has also come out, first of all, no drug reaction was found on the victim Miss Paula Wells, and it is certain that she was conscious when she was killed, but because her trachea was severed and the meridians of her wrists and ankles were broken, she did not have any ability to struggle. Secondly, they found out that Paula Wells had had an abortion, and just recently, this was recorded in Paula's diary about an unexpected child who gave up. This is a new discovery, from the flow of Paula Wells, they found the doctor who performed the abortion on Paula Wells.

The doctor, three blocks from the scene of the crime, was a blonde, sven-looking man, his clinic was a standard medical facility that had been registered, and when Lestrade came to his clinic, it was overflowing, most of the people who came to see him were old or very poor, and he did not go through the rubbing wall of people, but casually asked what the people who saw the doctor said.

It can only be said that everyone says that this Dr. Tommy Andrew is a good person, he will not only provide free clinics but also take care of those lonely and widowed elderly people in the East Side who have no children, and treat their bodies for free. Lestrade scratched his head, he deliberately found a noon time to come, and by the time Dr. Tommy Andrew was busy with lunch, it was already past the time for Dr. Tommy Andrew, and the first impression of this doctor was that he was warm, he came out of it with a mask and talked to the patient over there, as if he was telling him something, and when he spoke, he was gentle and gentle like a kind-hearted person.

It was at this moment that Lestrade came up to him, and he stretched out his hand to the doctor and said, "Hello, are you Dr. Tommy Andrew?" ”

The man took off his mask and said, "Hello, I'm Tommy Andrew, who are you?" ”

He carefully shook Lestrade's hand, and Lestrade took out his ID from his pocket, "I'm Inspector Lestrade at Scotland Yard, and I have something I want to consult with you. ”

Tommy Andrew immediately made a gesture of invitation and welcomed people into his office, so Lestrade sat on the sofa and looked at the office of this so-called peerless good man, it was very clean and simple, there was nothing superfluous, and there was nothing superfluous on the desk except for the computer and related books and notebooks.

"Detective, is there anything you can do to help you?"

Lestrade didn't go around in circles, he said directly: "Do you know Miss Paula Wells?" ”

"Paula Wells?" He shook his head in confusion, there was no such name in his social circle.

"She had an abortion at your hospital before, just three weeks ago."

After such a reminder from Lestrade, the man seemed to remember something, he stood up and took out a file from the bookcase on the side and quickly flipped through it, then took out a piece of paper from it and looked at it with a frown, and then said to Lestrade: "Paula Wells, yes, I had an abortion three weeks ago, and the examination was 40 days pregnant, which happened to be the best time for an abortion. Tommy Andrew lifted his head from the report, looked at Lestrade and asked, "May I ask Miss Paula Wells what has happened?" She's a good person, and although her career is a bit bad, it doesn't affect anything. ”

"Miss Paula Wells was killed in the early hours of the 11th, and we learned in the autopsy report that she had had an abortion, so we wanted to know if you knew anything."

Tommy Andrew's report fell to the ground when he heard Lestrade's words, and he was like a frightened animal, "Encountered, killed?!" ”

"I'm sorry, but it's true, so we want to know more about Miss Paula Wells, did Miss Paula Wells mention the father of the child to you?"

Tommy Andrew, as if he knew he had lost his temper, silently picked up everything and glanced at Lestrade and returned to his seat in silence, "No, I remember her, Miss Paula Wells was very ...... when she was an abortion Calm, she just said that when the child came, she was very sorry for his words, and did not say a word about the child's father. ”

He spoke unusually slowly, as if he was immersed in the news and did not come out.

Lestrade frowned, in fact, he does not agree with the abortion of this kind of thing, although he has eight bear children around him, but none of them are related to Lestrade, when Lestrade and his ex-wife did not divorce, he was very hopeful that he could have a child, boys and girls can be, but unfortunately what is the reason why they have no children, at that time Lestrade still had a little regret in his heart. So in his opinion, the baby that begins to grow in the mother's womb is a life, and the abortion is also a crime.

"Was there anything unusual about Miss Paula Wells at the time?"

"Nope."

Lestrade pursed his lips, there was nothing abnormal, did he calmly accept the child's departure? It seems that there are not many words about this child in the diary, in the original case of Jack the Ripper, the second victim was disemboweled, the poor victim was pregnant at the time, her child was dragged out and stabbed a lot, Paula Wells is a combination of the first victim and the second victim, does this have anything to do with her abortion?

Lestrade asked for the report and was about to leave, but before he could leave, Tommy Andrew stopped talking, and Lestrade blinked at him and said, "Please catch the murderer." ”

"I swear, I will, thank you for your cooperation with Mr. Tommy Andrew."

Lestrade left the small private clinic, and when he got into the car, he immediately called Donovan, and he had two things to investigate.

"I want a complete copy of Tommy Andrew's information, as well as an investigation into the father of Paula Wells' child."

"Yes, sir."

Lestrade didn't really trust Dr. Tommy Andrew, he was a doctor, he could operate and was familiar with the meridians of the body, just near the East End, these were all in line with some of the killer's qualifications, and what Lestrade now wanted to know if his childhood or experiences were related to the profession of prostitute/woman.

The father of Paula Wells' child was also investigated because he wanted to know more about Paula Wells's social circle, and it is not impossible that this case was committed by this unknown father, on the grounds that Paula Wells still has a child who threatens him, so he will kill people and disembowel them by the way.

According to the information, Tommy Andrew lived in an orphanage in his early years, and would help the church on weekdays, and his academic performance was excellent because he was an orphan and had seen a lot of hardships, so he began to provide free clinics after establishing this hospital.

Tommy Andrew was sent to an orphanage when he was five years old, and no information is known about his biological parents.

"I don't know?"

"We have found the nun of the orphanage, it is said that Andrew was thrown directly at the door of the orphanage at that time, he was more introverted and did not say anything about his parents, probably just that his parents abandoned him."

Lestrade was helpless, and said in his heart what an irresponsible parent, who didn't even want a child.

"Boss, I don't think there is anything to doubt about this Tommy Anderson, his grades and other evaluations are A, even the nuns who took care of him say that Tommy is a very gentle and kind child."

Lestrade tapped the report with his pen, thinking that he should be suspicious, if it was really the murderer, he would have run away for fear of exposure, and if Tommy Anderson was the murderer, he would not have stayed in such an obvious place in the East End.

"How's the child's father doing?"

"We had no clue, we asked Paula Wells' friends, and they didn't know about Paula's pregnancy, the most important thing was that Paula Wells started two weeks after the abortion...... Job. ”

Originally, Donovan wanted to say that she was going to stand on the street, but when she looked at Lestrade, she remembered that the last thing Lestrade liked to see was this kind of discrimination, so she changed to a job.

"Boss, abortion is not good for women's health, it will have a lot of chain reactions, the most important thing is that sex should not happen within a month."

"Miss Paula Wells doesn't seem to care about her body."

Donovan shrugged and said who knows, probably because of the lack of money, after all, the cost of the flow of people is not a small amount, plus daily expenses.

"Further investigation of the East End and Miss Paula Wells' network."

"Yes, sir."

Now the biggest headache for Lestrade is that there are no clues on the East End, Sherlock said that none of these rules meet all of them, and there is a lot of traffic in the East End, and there are many candidates for investigation, and on the other hand, there is no certainty about the people that Paula Wells came into contact with on the day of the killing, so there is no progress in the case for a while.

About a week ago, the people of the East End gradually forgot about the cruel scene and the tragic death of Paula Wells, Anna went to get a cigarette while preparing for supper and found that her cigarette was gone, she got dressed and came out of the house after a minute, the distance from her home and the store was just passing through a church, she shivered as she passed by the church, Anna wrapped herself in a light coat, Striding forward, I forced myself not to think about what was happening in the church.

After returning from shopping, she walked slowly homesick, and at this time, a man on the opposite side walked up, Anna smiled and stretched out her hand to greet him warmly, and the smile on her face was also charming and seductive.

On 18 June, a week after the parody, Lestrade was once again woken up from his sleep to report the brutal murder of a woman in London's East End because she had been questioned by Scotland Yard as an insider, and that person identified Miss Paula Wells' prostitute, Anna Louis.

When the name was said on the other end of the phone, Lestrade was silent for a long time, and it was not until his name was called over and over again that he came to his senses.

Anna Louis, the woman who told them a lot of clues, just died.

The place of death was still in London's East End, and Miss Anna was found tragically dead near the fence behind the church, found by the church's cleaning staff. Anna Louis was killed by a throat cut, and like Paula Wells, her abdomen was slit, and not only were her intestines taken out and wrapped around her own neck, but it is said that part of the internal organs were taken away, and her entire uterus was taken away.

This case is very similar to the third case of Jack the Ripper, on September 8, 1888, a prostitute named Anne Chapman was killed, and the place of her death still has many features similar to that of Jack the Ripper, and Lestrade can only declare that this is the continuation of the crime of the copycat, the only difference is what was taken away, in 1888 the murderer took away part of the flesh of the son/palace and abdomen, and this one was not, she only took all of the son/palace.

Lestrade hurried to the scene, he looked at Anna Louis lying in the bouquet of flowers, his eyes closed, he had warned Anna to leave the city temporarily, who knows...... Eventually, Jack the Ripper not only committed the crime, but also killed a witness from Scotland Yard. Anna Louis was even more miserable than the last time, Paula had only been killed after all, and now Anna's body was still partially missing.

However, from the lack of a child/palace to open, Lestrade doubts that the murderer will have a great opinion about the prostitute/woman and the child/palace and the prostitute/girl's children, and the possibility of eating it is relatively low, so he can only take it back as a collectible, a murderer's collection of criminal cases.

Lestrade probably didn't think that it would be Anna Louis who died, Anna Louis's approximate time of death was in the early hours of the morning, leaving a box of cigarettes and a little change, and after asking the owner of a nearby store, they learned that Anna did not come out because of "work", but to buy something, and the boss said that Anna had not worked recently.

Such a murderer must have met Anna on the way back, he knew Anna's identity when Anna was not working, and the murderer came prepared.

"All the surveillance footage was called up for me, and I also checked for any suspicions on the victim Anna Louis."

After a period of investigation, Scotland Yard found that the mobile phone that Anna Louis had been carrying was missing, and Lestrade suspected that it had been taken by the murderer. This Miss Anna is not a bold person, even if she comes out in the middle of the night, he will not have a mobile phone on him, and the only person who can be contacted after her death is the murderer.

To confirm this, Lestrade dialed Anna's number, but the phone was turned off.

Just like last time, the main related videos have been eliminated, and it looks like the killer must be a copycat of Jack the Ripper.

This was just the beginning, and three days after Anna Louis's murder, Scotland Yard received a phone call, which was a mobile phone number, coincidentally its previous owner, Anna Louis, who was lying in Butz Hospital.

The murderer also came prepared, and he used a voice changer.

β€œDearBoss……”

This beginning is exactly the same as the beginning of the first letter from Jack, the real ripper, and Lestrade makes a gesture to his men to quickly track down the source of this information, and he will hold the man as long as he can.

"This is just the beginning, I will kill more prostitutes/women, I am the one who acts on behalf of God, I come to appeal to those who should not be saved zΓ i, come and arrest me, arrest me!"

"I'll catch you, everyone has the need to save zΓ i in this world, you don't have the right to determine whose life and death, sonofthebitch!"

After the laughter came from there, the phone hung up, and Lestrade slammed his fist on the desk, compared to Tomlinson in the humanoid doll case, this imitation murderer was even more rampant, he dared to use the victim's mobile phone to provoke Scotland Yard, and pretended to be God, Lestrade also said cruel things, he would not let this murderer go on like this.

Scotland Yard locked down a spot based on the phone's source, only when they rushed over they found the broken phone inside the trash can, nothing else was left.

There is a difference between Anna Louis and the first victim, Paula Wells, that is, a large amount of tranquilizers were found in Anna Louis's body, and there was a small inconspicuous wound on her neck, unlike Paula Wells, Anna was injected with tranquilizers and lost the ability to resist before being killed.

Lestrade had a suspicion that if Anna hadn't been out to work recently, she wouldn't have stopped on the way home for someone she didn't know, so if the murderer was one of the people Anna knew.

Of course, this is all conjecture, now Lestrade is facing a lot of problems, the reporter who had heard the news came after the call came to completely surround Scotland Yard, Lestrade was forced to participate in the press conference, at the press conference Lestrade was asked how to prevent this matter, Lestrade replied that those women with special occupations had better reduce the number of times they go out at night recently, don't take strangers home.

Lestrade also said that he would definitely catch this mad murderer, and he would pay the price for what he had done.

The bears are also concerned about this news, and Jim Moriarty, the driving force behind it, also read the relevant newspapers, and the Inspector of Scotland Yard reminds women in special occupations not to go out alone at night? He laughed twice, it would be ridiculous if he could stop the anonymous man in his tracks, that one was quite powerful.

Dear Dr. Dewell, do you still like this gift? ――Jim
