Chapter 961: Murderous Maniac

O'Connor went up to the second floor with a gun, came to the door, easily unlocked it with a thin soft wire, gently pushed the door open, and walked into the room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The man and woman on the bed were still panting and upside down, not noticing O'Connor sneaking in quietly, and O'Connor's attention was not immediately focused on them, his gaze swept across the four corners of the room and landed on a small table beside the bed.

The diamond, worth 10,000 pounds, was placed on the table.

O'Connor laughed, slowly straightened up, and turned his gun toward the two men on the bed.

He was able to be sure that they were definitely not Catholics.

The woman under the man first saw O'Connor with a gun, twisted her body in horror, opened her mouth and was about to scream, O'Connor had already fired a shot.

There was no shrill gunshot, only a slight shock from the muzzle, and O'Connor could even see the cone-shaped bullets from the muzzle propelled by the compressed gas out of the muzzle, burrowing directly into the man's back, breaking his spine.

The man's undulating movements suddenly stopped, and his whole body quickly collapsed, moving away from the woman, and fell under the bed, O'Connor took two steps forward and shot the woman in the throat again.

There was still no gunshot, the bullet tore the woman's neck open, the woman's body straightened violently, and then she covered her throat with both hands and began to twitch in pain, the blood spurting from her body stained the sheets red.

O'Connor put down the silent gun - it was actually a large-caliber air gun, the latest invention of the Russians, this gun does not fire bullets with gunpowder, but relies on compressed gas, which is more powerful than a normal rifle, and has no sound, the disadvantage is that the range is not long, and the gun is a little large, which is inconvenient to carry.

He looked at the woman on the bed and the man under the bed, the man's body had long since stopped moving, the blood under his body was flowing all over the ground, the woman was still struggling, the white *flower* flower's body was covered with blood, and there was a strange beauty.

O'Connor came to the table, picked up the diamond, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, he was very interested in jewelry, he recognized at a glance, this is indeed a large diamond from South Africa, the man is not lying, maybe his ancestor is really a king, he himself may have a noble title and title.

This is better, the death of a nobleman can cause more panic among the public.

O'Connor put the diamond in his pocket, and looked at the woman again, whose gaze had begun to become misty, and her hand drooped down in front of her big breasts.

The woman's dying body aroused O'Connor's impulse, and he quickly pulled off his pants and went to the bed, parting the woman's legs......

It was a Sunday, and it began to rain in the afternoon, and the rain intensified after nightfall, and by ten or eleven o'clock it had almost become a downpour.

Because it was a knightly nobleman and his lover who were killed this time, the Metropolitan Police set up an almost unprecedented search network, and in addition to the personnel of the Metropolitan Police, some police officers who were originally engaged in civilian work were mobilized to patrol some roads. Police officers patrol the entire West End, and if they find anything unusual, they will immediately contact them with a police post and immediately block important communication roads.

Holmes and Waterson are invited by Sheriff Richard to join the patrol. This night the two of them were mobilized to patrol the vicinity of the zoo. Both the uniformed policemen and detectives like them put on their raincoats and entered a state of alert with their eyes wide open.

It was past midnight, and it was early Monday morning. At about two o'clock, Holmes and Waterson stood in front of the old blackened building wall, struggling to light their pipes in the rain. Mostan is coming. She was worried about her husband's health and came to see him.

Holmes tells her to be careful on the road, because there is no guarantee that the murderer will not attack a doctor's wife. "Don't worry! I have a pistol. Merrill said, then waved at Holmes and Waterson and left.

Holmes and the others had been standing in the block of buildings for about fifteen minutes when they suddenly heard the sound of something falling on the stone street in the rain, and a faint scream.

Holmes and Waterson exchanged glances, then immediately pulled their legs together and ran in the direction of the source of the sound. However, they did not see the screamers.

"We'll split up. I'll look for this, you look for that side. Holmes told Waterson that the two began to run in different directions.

After about a dozen meters of running, Holmes saw something strange on the wall of a private bank, which was a graffiti text written in white chalk.

"All the Jews go to hell."

It was written in German, and Waterson read it at a glance.

Holmes, on the other hand, saw a very terrible picture. He saw the woman's white feet on the rain-beaten stone pavement. The stockinged feet are exposed to the thighs, and there are strange black objects on the legs, which flow down the curves of the legs under the rain. That's blood!

Waterson ran to the side of the other woman who had fallen and crouched down. When he tried to pick up the woman, he seemed to be hit hard, so he let out a scream. He immediately called out his companion's name. "Homs! Holmes! Call for someone, quick! ”

The victim was wearing a raincoat, and the front of his skirt seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade, and he was bleeding a lot, but he couldn't see the severity of the injuries.

She was Merrill who had just left.

As soon as Holmes heard Waterson's voice running over, he immediately let out a desperate cry. Waterson picked her up and examined her injuries. Holmes picked up the whistle and blew it desperately. He shouted as he looked at Merrill's face. Merrill closed his eyes tightly, not opening them at all.

Another shout could be heard in the distance. "Someone was killed! Maxim Street! Number 14! A woman was killed! The abdomen was cut open and the internal organs were exposed. There was also a woman who was injured! Request support! Holmes shouted.

First, the sound of footsteps running in the rain. Then someone shouted, "Found out here, too." This is Metz Road! Number 52! Oh my God! Bloody! 52 Metz Road for help, please hurry up! ”

That alley was closer to where Merrill had happened, just behind here.

A patrol officer shouted, "Please move faster!" It's horrible! It's horrible! ”

Holmes followed him into the alley, where there was an open space behind the building with wooden boxes. The stone steps to the back door of the building were darkened, revealing a white woman's legs, the stockinged thighs dirty from the rebound of the rain that had fallen on the stone steps.

Next to his thigh, there was something like a large red and black snake wrapped around the internal organs. It seems to be the digestive organ of the small intestine or stomach that has been dragged out by hand. The front end of the large intestine hung on the deceased's left shoulder, and there were many marks of knife cuts and pokes on the intestines. The rain continued to wash away the red-black blood exposed to the stone floor, as well as the body fluids and the contents of the intestines.

Holmes stood in the rain with a frown, looking down at the victim. This is a terrible picture that people dare not look at directly, but fortunately, because of the rain, the smell is not so strong, so the nose smells the smell of the wet road, and the mouth does not taste the smell of rain.

Although Merrill did not die, he was seriously injured, and this moment was simply an important hurdle to get through the life-and-death situation. She was stabbed in the abdomen, and the flesh of her thigh was also cut, and she bled a lot, and if she had found it a little later, she might have died! Thanks to the fact that her husband is by his side and is a doctor, with his full rescue, there is no life-threatening situation at present.

It appears that the homicidal maniac, who killed two women, also brandished a knife at Merrill who was passing by. Although Merrill can't speak yet, she should have seen the murderer's face, so the police sincerely hope that Merrill's body can recover as soon as possible.

However, after all, the murderer escaped. Although such a large search net was laid, no one except Merrill saw the person who could be the murderer, that is: no witnesses could be found at all, and the interrogation of the traffic post was also incomprehensible.

Twenty metres from where Merrill was stabbed, there was a large machete believed to be the murder weapon, a military knife made and used by the Indian army. The murder weapon used to slash and kill the two women should have been stained with blood, but under the heavy rain, there were no traces of blood on the blade.

This Monday, around two o'clock in the morning, there were two women in addition to Merrill.

One of the two women was 42-year-old Rose? Curtis. She was a German Jew of British descent, a governess, and was found on Maxim Street.

The other victim was 35-year-old Carlodi? Vincent. She was an American, a washerwoman, and was found on Mace Street.

Although the situation of the murder of these two women is similar to that of several victims the day before, but Carlodi? Vincent was killed differently than other women. Like several other women, her carotid artery had been severed, but there was no large wound on her abdomen that would allow her internal organs to be exposed. Her wounds were more like Merrill's. However, although there were no major wounds, there were many wounds on her chest, abdomen, and legs that had been deeply pierced by knives, and there were more than a dozen of them. Of course, this method of killing is also very cruel.

The two murders that occurred in the rain were both alleys only two blocks from the boulevard, and the two alleys were only about 70 feet apart, which can be said to be very close. And Metz Street Carlodi? The place where Vincent was killed was only 40 feet from where Merrill was attacked. Judging from the location of these three, it may be said that these are three cases that occurred within a radius of 65 feet.

However, the place where Rose and Carlody were killed is about three kilometres from Morel Road, where Sir Ruby and his lover Olivia were killed, the murder of the previous night.

The murders on a rainy night were fortunately only stopped after these few happened, and the bizarre murder of women that shocked the whole of London in a row, within a month, the whole of London fell into panic, and the residents of all districts were in danger, and everyone was worried about when the next murder would happen, was it tonight? Or tomorrow? Because the police set up a large search net that could not catch the shadow of suspicion at all, the prestige was severely damaged, so much so that the chief of the Metropolitan Police had to hold a press conference to apologize to the public.

Luckily, Merrill survived the death hurdle, regained his life, and gradually recovered, as she describes in detail. Although she was not only physically traumatized, but also suffered a serious mental blow. Dr. Waterson feared that Merrill might be suffering from trauma and that she might have a limp in her right foot, but she survived. The accident was of course a big shock to Waterson, and Merrill's parents, who had come from their hometown to visit their daughter, were also deeply affected by it. In front of his wife and parents-in-law, Waterson swore that he would catch the killer with his own hands and bring him to justice.

"How did there be such a murderous maniac in the city of London? It's so bad that I don't even dare to go out shopping with Sister Chiho. He Yunqing complained to Lin Yiqing, who was reading the newspaper, "The security in London doesn't seem to be much better than in Beijing." ”

"You should go out, and you'll be fine." Lin Yiqing put down the newspaper in his hand and smiled slightly, "I brought all the female masters of the Ninja Academy this time, and there is absolutely no problem to protect you on the street." ”

"Why don't you just let Mr. Iwane and Miss Xingyue lead the team out and catch or kill that murderer? With their skills, this guy will definitely not be able to escape. He Yunqing and Chiho Kirino glanced at each other and suggested to Lin Yiqing, "This is convenient for everyone." ”

"Hehe, don't forget that this is the capital of the British Empire, we are more than a generation, how can the British court have face?" Lin Yiqing smiled, "Things are not so simple. ”

"The Metropolitan Police seems to be limited in its capabilities, and I don't think they will necessarily be able to catch the killer." Chiho Kirino looked at Lin Yiqing, "What if...... What if the murderer comes at us? ”

"Then I'll meet him, haha." Lin Yiqing pinched his fingers, making the bones crackle, "It's been a long time since I've had a real knife or a real gun." ”

"The old problem has been made again...... "Chiho Kirino sneered slightly, "and ...... as before"

At this moment, Xingyue Ruri walked in.

"The lord must not be in danger himself," she stared at Lin Yiqing, "If the lord wants to capture this murderer, leave it to me." ”

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously," Lin Yiqing smiled and waved his hand, "Are you also worried that this guy will come at me?" ”

"It's not that this possibility," Xingyue Ruri Masashi said, "Why didn't there be such a murder case before the lord came to England?" Why did the lord arrive in London and there were so many murders? This is most likely no coincidence. ”

"You forget, Xingyue, there are a lot of cases like this in London, but they all happened in the Eastern District before, and they were not noticeable," Lin Yiqing shook his head disapprerovingly, "It is rare for such cases to occur in the Western District, but it is not unheard of before." Just last year, a well-known doctor in London had a servant girl killed and mutilated in his home, and then he was caught and sent to an insane asylum, where he died soon after. ”

"I know about that case. The murderer was only a mediocre doctor suffering from madness, old and frail, and the slain maid had fiercely resisted and wounded him. Xingyue Liuli said, "And this time, the murderer is obviously a skilled killer, and he also has a murderous weapon, so he must not be taken lightly." ”

"It seems that you have not only been paying attention to this matter, but have also put a lot of effort into it!" Xingyue Liuli's answer aroused Lin Yiqing's interest, "Have you already gotten relevant information from the British?" ”

After listening to Lin Yiqing's question, He Yunqing and Chiho Kirino looked at Xingyue Liuli with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

"What the lord said is very true." Xingyue Liuli nodded, "I asked Counselor Zhang of the Legation to come forward and ask the Metropolitan Police Department for relevant information, and in this recent murder case, the injured person was the wife of a private detective, and went to visit her husband on duty, she witnessed the murderer's crime and wrote a record, and I also took it with me." According to this woman's description, the murderer was tall, agile, like a ghost, and the knife was extremely sharp and vigilant when he killed people, and when she committed the crime, she wanted to shoot her with a protective small pistol, but as soon as the gun was unsheathed, the murderer had already found out, pounced and slashed her down with two knives, but fortunately the surrounding police officers arrived in time, and she was not killed by the murderer. It is rare for a murderer to be so skillful. ”

"He was already found by the police at the time, but he was still able to escape, which is really good." Lin Yiqing nodded, "By the way, these cases are all murders with knives, I heard you just say that he also has a murder weapon, what's going on?" ”

"In the case before this case, a man and a woman were killed in the house, their bodies were also mutilated, and their heads were taken by the murderer, but according to a detective, the two were not stabbed wounds, but died from gunfire." "When I heard this, I was very strange, so I went to the detective's house to inquire, and the detective took me to the police station to examine the body parts, and sure enough, there were bullet marks, the male corpse's spine was broken by a bullet, and the female corpse was shot in the throat. ”

"This detective doesn't seem to be giving it in vain." Lin Yiqing didn't think about who this detective would be, but said thoughtfully, "But if the murderer killed these two people with a gun, why didn't the surrounding residents hear the gunshots?" ......" Speaking of this, Lin Yiqing suddenly remembered something, and his eyebrows couldn't help but rise.

The world's first gun with a silencer, but he DIY it!

"My lord, the gun used by this man is not the same musket with a silencer used by our army, but an air gun that fires projectiles with compressed air." Xingyue Liuli said calmly, "The lord once made an air gun based on the 'Deadly Three Strings' left by the murderers of the Heaven and Earth Society, and that is the case. (To be continued.) )
