"London? What's going on? ”

Seeing that John's expression was a little strange, Anna asked with concern.

"Uh......"

Blinking, John quickly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There should be a few poor women who have been murdered, and the deceased's stomach seems to have been cut open by the murderer...... Mr. Conan Doyle was invited by Scotland Yard to help, and in his letter he asked me a few questions about corpses. ”

"Oh God!"

After hearing John's words, Anna suddenly let out an exclamation!

For Anna, who grew up pampered? For Brister, what John just said was too impactful. And it was just now that he realized this, so John hurriedly diverted the topic to Conan Doyle himself, after all, it is a great thing to be able to help with Scotland Yard Fun.

Scotland Yard, of course, does not refer to any part of Scotland.

In the capital of the British Empire, Scotland Yard specifically referred to the Metropolitan Police of London, but because they were originally located in the palace of the old Scottish royal family, people gradually became accustomed to using Scotland Yard to refer to the London Police.

From its inception 60 years ago to the present, Scotland Yard has swelled many times over.

And with the growing size of the world capital, all kinds of criminal cases are frequent, so Scotland Yard set up a criminal investigation department ten years ago to deal with some criminal cases, and gradually reversed the suspicion and distrust of the citizens of London, and began to establish their own reputation.

However, in the autumn of 1888, the Scotland field was in a state of flux.

On August 7, the first female corpse was found in the Whitechapel area of London's East End, and the poor ** was horrific before her death. And just eight days later, another woman's body was found......

Sound familiar?

That's right, this is the serial killer ripper case that appeared in countless literature, film and television works in later generations.

Jack the Ripper. A name that is still famous more than 100 years later. He is certainly not the first serial killer in the world, nor the one with the most murders, but he is definitely the most famous. So when John saw Conan Doyle's mind mention the serial killers in the Whitechapel area, and told him about Scotland Yard asking him for help, it was inevitable that he would be so surprised.

"Conan Doyle was invited to solve the Ripper case?"

After reading the letter in his hand, John's face was full of a very strange expression. He certainly knew that Sherlock Holmes was now very popular in the UK. Due to Conan Doyle's early writing and the promotion of bloody genetic events, this eccentric detective became a hero in the eyes of the British a few years earlier than in history, but this fictional character is so popular that Scotland Yard invited Conan Doyle to help solve real cases, which is really a bit unbelievable, not to mention that it is a ripper......

Not wanting to talk more about this topic with Anna, John quickly stood up and smiled: "Okay, let's leave this unpleasant thing alone, didn't you say that you asked a friend to go horseback riding today?" It's getting late, and it's time for us to go. ”

"Huh? All right. I'll go change my clothes. ”

After all, it happened thousands of miles away, and Anna quickly recovered from the emotions just now, and happily went upstairs to change clothes.

Looking at Anna's cheerful back, John couldn't help but smile.

Judging from the meaning of Conan Doyle's letter, it seems that he would like John to go to London to help, after all, almost all of the forensic science knowledge in the novel comes from John's mouth, and if some clues can be found from the body of the deceased, it will definitely be of great benefit to the detection of the case.

It's just that John really doesn't have much interest in such things.

If you can help Scotland Yard solve the Ripper case. Finding the culprit that has plagued the world for hundreds of years can be rewarding, but John is also self-aware. Know that this is definitely a small probability time. After all, the true identity of the Ripper was never determined, and John was not actually proficient in forensic medicine, and all he knew was the book "Forensic Science" a hundred years later, and it was certainly not cost-effective to go to London for this kind of thing......

……

Just as John writes a simple rejection letter to Conan Doyle, and then leisurely goes to meet Anna's best friend. Far away in New York City across the ocean, Ehrlich and Osler are in a state of high tension!

In a single room, four or five people were crammed in.

In addition to Ehrlich, the developer of the new drug, a nurse in the internal medicine department of Heinz General Hospital and the parents of the little patient, all stood in front of the only bed in the room with anticipation on their faces. Waiting for Professor Osler to examine the patient.

All the efforts of the past period of time, waiting for a result!

However, the two most anxious people in the room were undoubtedly the parents of the little patient, so when Professor Osler took a long breath and straightened up from the bedside, Mr. Otto almost couldn't wait to ask, "Professor Osler, Stephen...... How's he doing? ”

Unconsciously, Mr. Otto's words had a pronounced trill.

Ever since their son was diagnosed with diphtheria, the Otto family has fallen into a deep sense of despair, knowing how terrible diphtheria is and how likely their children are to survive if they have it. With a glimmer of hope, he took his child to Heinz General Hospital and wanted to try sulfonamides. But what they didn't expect was that Professor Osler and Mr. Ehrlich here strongly recommended that they use another new drug, a new drug produced from horses!

After careful consideration, Mr. Otto accepted the proposal.

The mortality rate of diphtheria is so high that instead of waiting for the child's condition to deteriorate, Mr. Otto chose to take a chance. And the facts also proved that Mr. Ehrlich's words were not true, after using the new drug called antitoxin, Stephen's condition was miraculously controlled, and his mental and physical condition improved day by day......

Today's inspection of Mr. Osler will determine that he has finally taken over.

Facing the anxious Mr. and Mrs. Otto, Osler took a deep breath and a relieved smile suddenly appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Congratulations, Stephen's condition is completely under control, I think if nothing else, he should be discharged from the hospital this week!" ”

"Really?"

Mr. Otto was stunned when he heard this, but the lady beside him immediately reacted, and shouted in an extremely sharp voice.

"Of course it's true."

He nodded vigorously. Professor Osler's face was full of joy and excitement: "Madam, I assure you by my profession that Stephen's diphtheria has been cured!" However, to be on the safe side, we hope that he will stay for a few more days to avoid accidents. ”

"No problem, absolutely no problem!"

When he heard this, Mr. Otto also came back to his senses, and his head suddenly clicked like a chicken pecking rice.

Although the single room at Heinz General Hospital is extremely expensive, it can cost several dollars a day for accommodation alone, and it is even more intimidating when you add other expenses. Ordinary people absolutely can't afford it. But for the Otto family, this amount of money is nothing, and it must be worth it if it can be exchanged for Stephen's safety.

"Woo...... Wonderful Stephen ......"

When Mr. Otto nodded repeatedly, Mrs. Otto rushed to the bedside and hugged her son, whimpering loudly. The fear of this period of time, as well as the torment of the fear of losing her son, was completely released by this middle-aged woman at this moment.

While Mr. Otto resisted his excitement to comfort his wife, Osler and Ehrlich quietly withdrew from the room.

"Mr. Ehrlich. You did it! ”

As soon as he walked out of the ward, Osler clenched his fist vigorously and said excitedly to Ehrlich.

"No, no. It should be said that we succeeded! ”

Ehrlich was also very excited, and nodded heavily: "This antitoxin serum really has an excellent effect on diphtheria...... Mr. Osler, I strongly recommend that you experiment on more patients at once......"

"Haha, of course!"

Before Ehrlich could finish speaking, Osler was already laughing.

Having completely cured a diphtheria patient, Osler certainly couldn't ignore an event that caused a sensation in the United States. In fact, he is fully prepared and will be ready to implement once the results of the examination are confirmed.

After a moment's hesitation, Osler smiled and said, "Mr. Ehrlich, please prepare enough antitoxin serum as soon as possible, so that we can continue more clinical trials...... Not. Looks like I'm going to have to go to Thomas and get him to approve a sum of money for me. ”

"Money? What do you want money for? ”

Hearing this, he was slightly stunned, and Ehrlich asked with some puzzlement.

"Haha, of course it's a patient!"

Waving his hand, Osler laughed and said: "I know that this antitoxin serum has just started to be produced, and the cost is definitely not cheap, and for most diphtheria patients, they can't even afford the high hospitalization costs of Heinz General Hospital, how can they continue the trial if they don't apply for a sum of money?" ”

"Oh, I see."

After listening to Osler's words, it dawned on Ehrlich.

If you want to continue the trial, you have to admit patients, but the production cost of antitoxin serum is now as high as tens of dollars, which is simply not affordable for ordinary people, and if it were all borne by Ehrlich, their institute would not have that much funding. However, if Thomas is willing to speak, it will naturally not be a problem, after all, John has shed a lot of money on the hospital's books. And now that there is no drag from the research institute, the outpatient volume of nearly 300 people per day, especially the appendectomy operation, is getting bigger and bigger, and the income is gradually on par with the expenditure.

However, after thinking about it for a while, Ehrlich shook his head and said, "Professor, if you need money, I suggest that you send a telegram directly to Mr. Huntelaar...... Just as we were about to tell him about the patient's recovery, it was only fitting that we would ask for this unit by the way. ”

"This ...... Is it appropriate? ”

Frowning slightly, Osler asked with some confidence: "Mr. Huntelaar is now far away in Europe, if I want so much money for this telegram......"

"Don't worry, Professor."

After laughing, Ehrlich said nonchalantly: "You just came to New York, I'm afraid you don't know much about our boss's temper." After a long time, it will naturally come to pass, as long as the money is spent on business, Mr. Huntelaar will never hesitate......" (To be continued......
