Chapter 266: Speculation

"Interesting." Sherlock Holmes closed the note in his hand, "Mark Cohen did have a conflict with those girls, so he put himself in the role of Jack the Ripper and took pleasure from it, but unexpectedly, he gradually lost himself. ”

"These things are very clear in his notes, he began to fantasize that the murderer was his own after the first murder, and by the time he saw the letter sent in the newspaper, the ripper in his soul Jack had completely defeated himself, and finally he could not tell who he was at all."

Zhang Heng had already walked out from the other side of the iron fence at this time, and moved his hands and ankles, "And the uterus you retrieved from his residence, as long as you check it, you can find that it is not human, he also had an alibi when the first case occurred, he happened to be delivering a maid that night, as long as you find the maid named Clarissa, you can prove it." ”

Holmes smoked his pipe, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Lestrade ran over from the other side of the corridor in a hurry, "I contacted several newspapers, and the director meant to publicize it this time, not only the police but also you, and you assisted us in solving this strange ......case as a special adviser to Scotland Yard."

"Wait," Holmes interrupted the short sheriff with his hand, "we haven't caught the murderer yet, so let's forget about celebrating or something, it will only make the real murderer smirk in the dark." ”

"What are you talking about?" Lestrade was a little puzzled, "The prisoner has just confessed his guilt and described the process of his murder. ”

"The process of his murder was based on newspaper reports, and the womb on the table was taken from a pig," Holmes stretched, "Lestrade, I have always felt that you and Gregerson are some of the best officers in Scotland Yard, and if you were willing to spend more time gathering clues instead of being busy with your work, your accomplishments would be far from that." ”

The short officer shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I have worked in Scotland Yard for so many years, and no matter what case comes to this point, it can almost be closed, I think you are just a little worried, anyway, the reporter should be there in half an hour, and the director is going to meet the queen early tomorrow morning to report the good news, and he will also mention to the queen the credit of you and your friends from the East." ”

"Have you forgotten about the Thames case so quickly, do you plan to cooperate with the media to lead to the real murderer again, and the people may not buy it then." Holmes shook his head.

"This is a matter set by the director, and no matter what he says, he can't change it." The short officer spread his hands, "Unless you can conjure me another prisoner now." ”

As a result, at this moment, Zhang Heng suddenly spoke, "Can you let me meet with Mark Cohen?" ”

"Would you like to meet Mark Cohen? It stands to reason that this is not very proper, but for the sake of your contribution to the police this time, I can still help with this little favor. Lestrade said.

He led the two of them to the interrogation room where the female doctor was being held, and said, "I have already interrogated him once, so I won't go in, and I have to prepare to deal with those reporters." ”

Waiting for the short officer to leave, Holmes touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Do you think Mark Cohen's mental abnormality is not an accident?" ”

Zhang Heng nodded, "From his notes, it can be seen that he does have some mental illness, but I don't think that the deepening of his mental illness during this period is accidental, the police are looking for Jack the Ripper, and he just happened to send it to the door." ”

"Interesting speculation." Sherlock Holmes Road.

Zhang Heng noticed that the words used by Sherlock Holmes were guesses rather than reasoning, which Zhang Heng himself had to admit, and after these two incidents, he also realized a problem, that is, it was almost impossible for him to defeat Sherlock Holmes if he only used what Sherlock Holmes gave him.

Under the framework of deduction, he can't play Sherlock Holmes's lv3 with this lv1, and even if he tries hard, he will only tie with the opponent, so he needs to find another way to win this round of competition, in other words, he needs to increase his aggressiveness and make bold assumptions in the case of insufficient evidence.

Sherlock Holmes said that this is a big taboo for detectives, because once you go the wrong way, you are likely to fall headlong into a dead end and not get out, but now Zhang Heng's situation is different, because he only needs to win once, as long as he bets right.

And Zhang Heng is not completely blind.

He met Mark Cohen sitting in the interrogation room, who seemed quiet and had the air of a doctor, except for the small, bulging eyes.

Zhang Heng sat down across from him, "Are the three murders in the Whitechapel District related to you before?" ”

"That's right, I killed them." Mark Cohen nodded and admitted without hesitation, a somewhat neurotic smile on his face, "I like the way they looked at me the moment before they died, that kind of fear in its purest form, without any impurities...... It's beautiful. ”

"Really?" Zhang Heng said, "Aren't you worried that God will punish you?" ”

The female doctor moved her buttocks, looking a little angry, "God will punish me?" No, no, no, I'm just doing the right thing, it's the women who are wrong, God told me to punish them, they deserve it, I obey God's commands, His voice...... Always around my ears. ”

"Do you hear the voice of God?"

"That's right, he said he would reward me and call me his son." Mark Cohen said proudly.

"Last question," Zhang Heng stared into the eyes of the female doctor, "which church do you usually go to worship?" ”

However, Mark Cohen suddenly closed his mouth and stopped talking, staring at his small eyes and looking at the ceiling, as if a door would suddenly open there to let him out of this world.

However, his action has allowed Zhang Heng to get the answer he wants.

Zhang Heng got up to leave, and Holmes listened quietly this time the whole time, without saying a word, until he walked out of the interrogation room, he spoke, "Interesting, so you suspect that Father Jacob influenced his spirit?" ”

Zhang Heng nodded, he didn't have time to answer, but hurriedly walked out of the police station, beckoned a carriage, Sherlock Holmes followed, and got into the carriage together, "Even if you suspect that he needs to be in such a hurry, and my question has not been asked, there are only two priests in the Sacred Heart Church, among which Father Matthew is too old, I can be sure that Father Jacob is not the murderer, so the question is, why did he let Mark Cohen, who has mental problems, believe that he is Jack the Ripper?" ”

"I'm sure the real culprit must have something to do with him." Zhang Heng said, "As for why I'm so anxious, it's because I'm worried about a friend's safety. ”
