Chapter 596: The Bag Is Empty

It was Qingwen's attitude that allowed Sheriff Scott to open up the conversation, saying:

"You're right, it's this case of Jack the Ripper that has brought shame on us in England. ”

Qingwen didn't directly ask "how do you say this", because her emotional intelligence, which has evolved a lot, told her that she had better not speak at this time.

Scott hung his head in pain for a while, and then, when he had gathered enough strength to raise his head, he clenched his fists and said, "We have fifty brothers up and down, and each officer can be called a battle-hardened officer, but in the presence of this villain Jack, we are as ashamed and remorseful as cats that can't catch mice, and even have some thoughts of wanting to isolate ourselves from the people. ”

Only then did Qingwen grab Sheriff Scott's sleeve and say, "Don't! ”

Sheriff Scott continued: "You see the Tower of London, and it's a symbol of it, though it's now abandoned. ”

"What does it symbolize?"

It symbolizes that there are countless big people who want to do a career, but in the end it is just a rolling Yangtze River east of the water, which is simply a bamboo basket to draw water. ”

Qingwen was simply shocked, how could these proverbs from ancient China be used so appropriately and vividly by this Englishman? Qingwen was secretly speechless.

Scott didn't know Qingwen's thoughts at all, and he didn't care if Qingwen, the audience, could understand himself, as if this trip was not that he was entertaining Qingwen at all, but looking for a gap in work and life, and poured out the bitterness and pressure in his heart.

Scott continued: "The Tower of London made me, a man from a poor class who struggled to get out of the world, feel how unequal the world is......

This time, Qingwen really closed her ears to clear her mind, who would have thought that the English sheriff who looked like five big and three thick, with a mustache, and was capable and ruthless, would be such a sensitive guy.

Scott seemed to see that Qingwen had been distracted elsewhere, so he began to get down to business, saying:

"This case made me feel suspicious of all the people in the whole city of London, such as the sanctimonious mechanic, for example, the financier who did not approve loans, and the little man who sold cigarettes on the street, and for example, probably the kind of big nobles who were qualified to be locked up in the Tower of London, and they could not get away with it......"

Qingwen asked, "So, Inspector Scott, are you saying that this Ripper Jack's lockdown is very vague, and he can be almost any London man with mobility, including yourself?"

Scott nodded with difficulty, it was clear that it would be a disservice to him to admit it, but he had to face the reality.

"How come?" Qingwen took out the professional attitude of Inspector Conan's little cousin and said:

"One of the most important aspects of the investigation is to paint a portrait of the criminal, that is, to collect, organize and make a judgment under the best possible conditions, and then give a limited range. ”

Scott said: "Well, Kebei, you are right, I don't blame you for being the sister of Inspector Conan, this point, our England field is strictly enforced, according to the operating procedures, we not only visited, but also strictly investigated and examined the body, conducted sample analysis, and invited experts to estimate the motive and determine the character of this criminal act...... We did do the above one by one, but we still haven't been able to draw the conclusions we had hoped. ”

Qingwen nodded, and then said, "So, what do you need me to do in England?"

Scott shook his head and said, "In order to be responsible for Inspector Conan, I will send you back to your eastern homeland in the near future. ”

Qingwen nodded, after all, she didn't want to get involved in this tricky case, she only had a few pounds and a few taels, even if she wanted to help, other professionals might not be able to look at it.

Qingwen said, "Can I get Inspector Conan's ashes back?"

Sheriff Scott looked embarrassed and stopped talking.

Qingwen said: "Inspector Scott, you don't have to worry, I can accept any kind of facts, since I am here, I can bear the bad ending." ”

Inspector Scott said, "The moment Inspector Conan disappeared, there was a fire on the spot, and he was standing in the fire, and people who saw him said that he didn't struggle at all......"

Qingwen closed her eyes in pain. You know, even if you can cross over, it is also the choice of your soul after death is complete, but at the moment of death, the pain that people have to experience will not be reduced at all, so Qingwen really can't bear to think about the fact that Inspector Conan turned into ashes in the fire.

Sheriff Scott said, "Ah, I'm really sorry, and I don't want to tell you the most cruel and sad moment, his only relative, just ......"

Qingwen waved her hand with difficulty, indicating that she didn't mind.

After a while, Qingwen calmed down a little, and she asked:

"Sheriff Scott, then, does Conan still have a relic?"

Sergeant Scott cautiously said, "Yes, at our police station, it was placed in a selected urn, and our police department was going to do a farewell ceremony for Inspector Conan. ”

Qingwen nodded.

Qingwen asked, "So, can I participate?"

Sheriff Scott said, "Of course, of course, you're his dearest, and of course we're going to invite you to it." Wait for me at the door of your house at this time tomorrow evening, and I will send a carriage to pick you up. ”

Qingwen bit her lip and said, "Okay." Thank you. ”

Inspector Scott said, "You can also get a pension when you get his ashes. ”

Qingwen said, "I don't want it." ”

Scott seemed a little anxious, and said: "Why don't you?!" Inspector Conan's life and death are not easy, besides, it is also the case solving expert invited by our England field, and the pension must be paid to you. ”

Qingwen thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you donate the money to the relatives of those victims in the name of Inspector Conan?"

Sheriff Scott cast a grateful look at him, and said, "You have to think about it, even if you do good deeds, you may not end up doing well, let alone use this money to do some illegal things after someone invites you." ”

Qingwen said, "Sheriff Scott, I think you are prejudiced against the poor. ”

Sheriff Scott said, "I'm not biased, I'm afraid that you will be fooled, and when you wake up, you will find that your pocket is empty." ”

Qingwen said, "I don't care if I'm a good fit, what I care about is what Inspector Conan will do if he lives." ”
