London Chapter 12, The Ghost of Baker Street
Qin Kai recalled in his mind what Michael Gamben had said before: "Don't believe everything in front of you, it's all an illusion." The two of them went to a bench and sat down.
"Qin Kai, who do you suspect the murderer is?"
"At first I thought the killer was Michael Gambon, he was left-handed, and the first time I saw him, I realized that he was using his right hand when tidying up the store, and I always felt that something was unnatural. In addition, he used his left hand to tidy up the store, which seemed natural, so I assumed that he was left-handed. The water stains on his clothes were different from the other three, his water stains were scattered, and the remaining three were concentrated in one place. ”
"And the part in the game is almost exactly like what happened in real life." Tang Wan looked at him and said.
"If he just happened to pass by, then he should just look at it, so that the effect would not be so realistic, and even the details would be exactly the same, unless."
"He was the one who killed people by the docks that day!" Qin Kai and Tang Wan shouted out in unison. The rain is slowly getting lighter. Qin Kai continued
"The scar on Cady Laver's left wrist is the same as the one found on the deceased's wrist earlier, and it is likely that Michael Gamben happened to touch her while he was on the run and then cut her wrist."
But why did she let him cut it? Is it acting? Qin Kai thought about that sentence repeatedly in his mind.
"Unless everything we see is an illusion, and the real murderer is someone else, Michael Gambon was used, and he pretended to be Jack to kill someone in order to make the game look a little more realistic, so what is the purpose of that?"
"Qin Kai, do you think it will be a real murderer to let him design this game just to tell the people of London that Jack the Ripper is back again, and let them all challenge that legend. And I've also heard that if the game is successful in the market, it will be possible to develop VR and live experience. Do you think that after real people enter the virtual world and are killed, will they never wake up in the real world? ”
"It's possible. The killer wasn't the three of them, but he took advantage of Jack's descendants. The cloak was taken from the museum, which means that the man knew Joseph Roebuck. The two of them left the benches, walked out of Baker Street, and came to the City of London. I saw a windowless tall building, and that was the Bank of England.
"The City of London is arguably the UK's biggest gold trading destination." On a large LCD screen next to it, there was a piece of news, said a female supporter
"The Mayor of London, Maiwen Ingres, will experience the game of the Dead on Baker Street for himself, currently a live-action experience, and he will take on his glasses to the virtual world to challenge Jack the Ripper. It is reported that the designer of this game is Michael Gambon. Now we've got Mr. Robert Donner, who is also an investor, to promote the game. ”
A man in a black suit stepped forward and took her microphone and said, "Hi guys, I'm an investor in this game. Michael Gamben was killed by his enemies because he offended people in business. I'm very sorry here, his wish is that this game will be a big hit, and I will fulfill his wish that he can't fulfill. ”
He gave the microphone to his supporter and turned away. She took the microphone and continued, "Mayor McVin Ingrell will be playing this game the day after tomorrow at 81B Baker Street. If you are interested, you can come and watch, thank you. ”
"Tang Wan, is it the first day of the agreement?"
"The next day, tomorrow is the third day, and if the police can't catch Jack the Ripper, then the mayor will die. Could it be that the day after tomorrow Jack the Ripper will go to Baker Street, blend in with the crowd and wait for the right moment. ”
"Mayor McVin Ingres makes it through or not, he's going to die."
"There's one more day, can you catch it?" At this time, in the police station, all the police began to act, and in a room, there were two people sitting, it was Cheng Wilson and Jean Erso.
"Last night you dared to act without permission, and you shot and killed someone."
"He was going to assault me, and in a fit of urgency I saw a gun pressed against my clothes, and I immediately picked up a gun and shot him."
"Are you in civilian clothes?"
"That's right! But I don't remember that I had a gun, so was it someone else put on my clothes? Could it be Cady Laver! ”
"In the future, you are not allowed to act privately without my permission, you can stay at home during this time, you don't have to investigate this case." She held back tears
"Well, then you have to be careful." Cheng Wilson waved his hand, and Jean Ersor immediately left. He stood up and looked out, "One more day, where to catch it?" Michael Gambon is also dead. You're the undead of Baker Street. ”
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Kai and the others walked to the Cathedral of San Piero and came to a chair under the shade of a tree to do it.
"If you don't catch him, it is estimated that the mayor will die. As soon as the mayor died, I guess London was going to be a real mess, plus the police explosion exploded. ”
"What's the origin of this investor?"
"You're here too!" A woman wearing a black jacket and cyan slacks walked from afar, and it was Julie Weia.
"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
"Come to the Bank of England to exchange the British list, did you find any clues?" Qin Kai and the others told her the news just now.
"If the police don't catch him tomorrow, then I guess something big will happen the day after tomorrow." Qin Kai and the three of them got up and walked towards the church. The church was empty, the sun was shining on every seat, and the bells were ringing. All around it are frescoes that are hung high to give a sense of sacredness, and in the middle is the lecture hall of the Church Father. A book with a bottle of water next to it.
"It's really sacred." Qin Kai flipped through the book, and it was full of experiences. He closed the book.
"I want to go to the Night Beauty, you guys go back first."
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone?"
"Don't worry, I can protect myself." After saying goodbye to Tang Wan and Julie Weiya, he left the Basilica of San Piero.
At seven o'clock in the evening, he came to the Night Beauty, put on his hat, and pushed the door open. Cheerful singing, frolicking crowds. He made his way through the crowd to a private room and stopped, put on his gloves, pushed open the door, turned on his flashlight, and walked inside. The flashlight shone on the bed, the messy bedding appeared in front of him, and he found a strand of hair and a bullet casing on the floor.
"Could it be that the policeman killed someone here? She should come here in civilian clothes, not a pistol or anything like that, unless someone puts a pistol on top of her clothes and uses her to kill someone. He lowered the brim of his hat and walked out of the room. It just so happened that he rubbed shoulders with Cady Laver. Qin Kai turned his head and saw her golden hair.
He took out the strands of his hair, and compared them to her. Qin Kai came to the counter, "Waiter, bring me a glass of rum." ”
"Okay, please wait." A bottle of rum was placed in front of Qin Kai, "By the way, what color is your boss's hair?" ”
"Curly blond hair. His name is Cady Laver. ”
"Thank you!" After drinking the rum, she left the Night Beauty. Qin Kai thought as he walked: It seems that it was the gun that Cady Laffer walked in and put down, but what was her purpose in doing this? A cold wind blew, and passers-by sighed that it was so cold.
"Have you heard? A police officer shot and killed a man in the Night Beauty Bar. ”
"They wouldn't think of him as Jack the Ripper, but that man wasn't Jack the Ripper!"
"Someone saw Jack the Ripper just now." After hearing these words, a smile appeared on Qin Kai's face. The reason why she did this was to make the people not trust the police, and this was only the first step, and if the mayor died and the police station exploded, then I guess London would be in chaos and mutual suspicion.
Qin Kai took a car back to the Britannia Hotel and walked into his room. He made a phone call to Mao Chengyu
"Xiao Yu! What are you doing? ”
"Xiao Kai! You're fine in London. ”
"Got involved in a case, by the way, can you help me find out about Robert Donner?"
"Wait a minute!" The keyboard sound sounds, "Robert Donner founded TiMi Games Studio in 1983 and has grown rapidly since then, and this studio has a long history. Isn't he now investing in a game called Undead on Baker Street? Do you know? He had met Jack the Ripper in private. ”
"He's seen Jack the Ripper?"
"The Undead on Baker Street was the game he came up with, and then Michael Gamben designed and optimized it, and he invested a total of eight million dollars."
"So much to invest."
"And he also had an ambiguous relationship with Cady Laver, as can be seen from his frequent transfers."
"Thank you then, Xiaoyu." After hanging up the phone, Qin Kai thought: The scar on her left wrist was probably deliberately scratched in order to get rid of suspicion. He turned on the television, which showed Robert Donner imitating Jack the Ripper, dressed in a white cloak and holding a knife in his left hand.
Qin Kai's eyes widened, the posture of holding the knife in his left hand was exactly the same as the posture of the person he met before, could it?
Qin Kai turned off the TV, walked to the window, and looked at the city of London at night, feeling full of emotion in his heart.
The sun was shining, and it was already the third day at this time, Qin Kai came to the British Museum and saw Joseph Roebuck again
"Curator, do you remember me?"
"It's you! Looking for me? "A man in a black suit and black trousers is now setting up the collection.
"Do you know Robert Donner?"
"I know, I've met him before."
"I heard he knew Jack the Ripper." Joseph stopped suddenly
"How do you know?"
"What I found out is how he is related to Jack the Ripper."
"Doesn't he have two nephews and a granddaughter? The most mysterious nephew is. In the middle of Joseph's sentence, an explosion rang out. Qin Kai was overturned by the shock wave and fell to the ground, and in a daze, he saw a man collapse from Joseph, and there was blood flowing out of Joseph's body. He came to the window where the nightmare knife was kept.
"Tomorrow, London will turn into hell."
Qin Kai fainted.
