Chapter 592: A Big Stomach King
With the sound of the creaking wooden staircase being trampled, the housekeeper led Qingwen up to the attic.
The house seems to have been built in a transitional zone between the slum and the affluent, so the popularity of the street has noticeably changed from sparse to lively.
From the attic here, Qingwen can see the street outside from the window.
The streets are dim and the street lights are unknown, which always gives people a very frightening feeling.
Because London is in the early stages of industrialization, it has become a very polluted place, and it is foggy everywhere. Such weather, coupled with the lack of electricity, creates a terrifying atmosphere for the entire street.
Qingwen turned around and stopped looking out the window.
She only waited for the old gentleman to come tomorrow and unravel for her why Conan was here.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she saw a brand new newspaper, this was the London Daily, the daily newspaper of the day.
Since Qingwen was a scholar in her previous life, it was easy for her to read English newspapers.
She picked up the newspaper quite confidently, and a big topic startled her-
"Detective Conan's life is lost in the estuary, and the ripper case is once again a mystery"
It seems that although the world is a few days late, it still got the news of Inspector Conan's death and was made public. This shows that Inspector Conan is also famous here.
Qingwen noticed the second half of the topic, and she pondered vigorously:
"So, what exactly is a ripper? Could it be that Inspector Conan came into this world to detect this so-called ripper?!"
Qingwen's first reaction was to feel very sorry for her eldest cousin Conan, originally, it was obvious that Conan was famous and famous, and he had already achieved fame in the peaceful and prosperous era - Jiangcheng, China, and because the country was prosperous there and caught up with a good era, a capable detective like Conan should be like a fish in water and very open. But I didn't think that what the peaceful and prosperous era brought was that there were not many cases to handle, and it was in vain that Conan was such a great detective, and he had no place to show his skills.
Qingwen understands Conan very well, it seems that Conan has gone to great lengths for his own career, rushing from the far east to London, the fog capital, and must sort out this unsolved case in history.
It's a pity that just a little eyebrows, Inspector Conan died in this case.
Besides, when she saw the word "ripper" in the newspaper, Qingwen already felt a chill on her back, her hair stood on end, and she was also a famous fool and bold in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. However, at this moment, Qingwen helplessly found that as she grew older, her courage began to weaken.
Of course, Qingwen will never allow herself to show cowardice, this matter is about the dignity of a person's life, especially when a person is away from home.
Asking yourself like this does not mean that you are not nervous or afraid when you come to the scene.
When Qingwen saw the word ripper, she first restrained herself from vomiting due to nervousness, and began to try to find it in her memory to see if she would have left an impression.
Suddenly, Qingwen's memory bank Bingling lit up suddenly, and she remembered that she had learned in a textbook before, "Ripper"? Could it be that the real murderer of the London murder in the eighteenth century?
Qingwen remembered that the book said that in the remote red light district of London, there were always some murders, and the victims of these cases were mostly prostitutes standing on the street to do business, they would be killed in the middle of the night when they took orders, and were hated to dump their bodies on the street, not to mention, these unfortunate prostitutes were also disemboweled by the ripper one by one.
Because the English police have never been able to find the real culprit, and such vicious cases continue to occur. As a result, the entire city of London was covered in a layer of panic, people were panicked, everyone was in danger, rumors were scattered, and all kinds of analysis and deduction of the case were inconsistent, which caused great distress to the police.
Was it at this time that Conan was invited? Qingwen thought back on these and found that her eldest cousin had waded into such troubled waters here.
You know, the history books once said that the real murderers of these prostitutes were never found, although the London Police arrested several suspects, but after questioning, the possibility of being at the scene was basically ruled out.
These questions are piling up more and more, so much so that Qingwen feels that this cup of coffee in the evening has worked, and she can't sleep.
If Inspector Conan really tried it because there was a major case here that could attract him to sharpen his knife and try it, then this case would be inseparable from Inspector Conan's death.
This, it seems, is the reason why Qingwen was dragged here in the dark. Qingwen felt that Conan repeatedly emphasized in his will that he would not let himself help investigate the reason for his death, which was out of love for his little cousin, and of course, because Conan was ashamed that he failed to solve the mystery of who the Ripper was.
So, even Inspector Conan is deeply involved, and even the English police can't solve the case, can he come to such a strange place, and use his half-baked, non-professional detective skills to surpass Conan and the local police and solve the case? Qingwen has no confidence in herself, it is better to say that Qingwen has the idea of escaping.
I just want to find out the cause of my cousin's death, and I don't need to continue my cousin's profession to be a Mongolian doctor and open a detective agency, right?!
Qingwen, who retreated, was no longer entangled in her heart, and fell down directly and fell asleep.
When I woke up in the morning, the weather was still overcast. Qingwen's mood also became a little depressed with the weather. She hoped that the old gentleman would come to visit her as soon as possible and give herself a detailed introduction to Inspector Conan's situation at that time, so that Qingwen could no longer regret finding a way to return to the city life of that life, be a good person, and cherish the peaceful and prosperous times.
But, I don't know why, when it comes to what she really wants, on the contrary, she doesn't come to anything. Qingwen didn't want to cross, she was crossed, and she was looking forward to the old gentleman coming, and the old gentleman didn't show up all morning.
Qingwen sat at the dining table, and almost every hour, she was served by the butler with English breakfast, English morning tea, British Chinese food, and English afternoon tea.
If you follow this rhythm, I'm afraid that Qingwen will gain weight soon. However, Qingwen can't care about these anymore, and the feeling of being a stranger in a foreign land makes her less hungry than usual.
Due to her loneliness, Qingwen has become a big stomach.
