"Answer me! Kane. Bryant! Why humiliate me?! The shadow roared at him.

"I want to.... Ahem.... Talk to you. Kane replied.

On the one hand, he wants to draw the Ripper into a dialogue with him; On the other hand, he knew that the Ripper would never allow anyone to commit an unpardonable sin in his name. Don't kill innocents indiscriminately, this murderer has a very lame, but very legitimate three-view principle.

There was silence for a while, so quiet that even the sound of a heartbeat could be heard, and in the darkness was the ticking of water and the squeaking of mice. At the same time, he also faintly smelled a faint stench.

[I'm in the sewers!] ]

The man took a deep breath and said, "You should know that I did not kill that child, but those who died at my hands were the most heinous people, and I would never kill an innocent person, let alone a three-year-old child." ”

"That's hard to say, maybe you want to change your style." Kane retorted.

The figure was visibly enraged, and he walked over to Kane, bringing his face to his eyes. The man wore a black hood, revealing only his eyes, and on the hood he had spent a dense set of scriptures with a white pen.

Kane looked at those horrible eyes, their pupils glowing strangely in the light, and the whites of their eyes were bloodshot, if they were still whites.

"You are not allowed to insult my mission! I may be a sinner, but I have my own principles and beliefs! The souls of my men will be reshaped in the flames, and there is no need to sacrifice innocent souls to open that door. He roared viciously, roaring like a lion.

(Note: Divine Comedy, Agni refers to the sea of fire behind the gates of hell, and those who enter this gate should give up all hope.) ）

After yelling at Kane, he calmed his anger and straightened up, retreating behind the light and shadow again.

"You have to remember that there are those who are clothed in the skin of a lamb and are doing the work of the devil. The fruit under the sacred tree is scattered all over the ground, but it does not mean that every one of them is good. ”

Here he quotes Virgil's poems, but they are different from the original. Kane suddenly realizes that the 'Ripper' may have investigated the identity of the killer in advance.

"What do you know?" Kane asked.

"Why don't you go and find out for yourself? I think discovering the truth of this case will help you grow up with your own hands, Mr. Kane. ”

The dark shadow pulled Kane's cell phone out of his arms, dialed the director's number, and placed it on Kane's lap.

"Oh! Damn it! Kane? You okay? Where are you? The director's anxious shouts came from the microphone.

"I'm okay!" Kane replied, "I should be in a sewer, not much with a cellar, and I should be below near the ancient city of Kashmia. ”

"Hold on! Kane! Let's go right over! ”

The Shadow walked over and turned off the call, putting it back in Kane's pocket.

"Oh~~ Well done, Mr. Kane, you never let me down."

Then he turned and opened the door to the chamber, and with it a foul stench poured into the room.

"Morality often fills in the gaps in wisdom, but wisdom can never fill in the defects in morality." (Note: From the Divine Comedy, Dante)

"Goodbye, Mr. Kane." With that, the 'Ripper' disappeared into the darkness.

After that, the police quickly rushed to Kane's location and rescued him. The moment he wiped the stains off his feet and put his socks back on and stepped into his leather shoes, he felt so good that he finally didn't have to freeze them anymore.

A colleague put a blanket over him and said, "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" ”

"No, I'm fine, thank you." Kane took the thermos flask in his hand, took a few sips of hot water and asked, "Did you make any new discoveries?" ”

"Yes, we found surveillance footage from the vicinity of the child's disappearance, which showed him being taken with ice cream by a short man. He's a lot like what you've described in your profile, and he's already brought him back to the bureau. ”

Kane patted his colleague on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Very good, let's go, go back to the bureau and have a look." ”

Back at the police station, Kane and his colleagues went to the interrogation room, where the two stood outside the monoscopic mirror and watched the interrogation unfold. The pale light shone on the suspect's face, making him look very haggard.

Del Wolf. Blake, 33 years old, 1.52 meters tall, lives with his mother, is unmarried, works in a department store near Benjamin Jr.'s disappearance, and is a salesperson at a burger restaurant.

The police found a large number of pornographic videos and many bad web browsing records in his personal computer, and he had been arrested and imprisoned for violent clashes many times before, and had a record of being in a detention center when he was a teenager.

"I told you so! I didn't kill that child! Blake shouted angrily.

Sitting across from him were two detectives who disagreed with his statement and retorted: "But the surveillance footage shows that you have contacted him and led him out of the department store." ”

Blake continued to shout, "That kid and his parents are lost!" I just happened to be passing by and wanted to help him. He... He said his mom went to the toilet nearby.... I just took him to the nearby toilet to have a look! ”

"When I got there, I asked him to wait for me at the door, and I went in to have a look, and when I came out, he was gone."

The interrogator raised an eyebrow and questioned, "So you still went into the women's bathroom?" ”

"Hey! I just wanted to help him! And there was no one in the women's toilet at that time! ”

Another interrogator followed: "We found out that you have a bad web browsing history, and you have been arrested and imprisoned for violence several times. ”

Blake blushed with anger and yelled at them, "Those guys taunted me for being small, and they insulted me with my elderly mother!!! Damn them! It's only right for me to hit them!! They deserve to be beaten! ”

Kane's angry appearance watching him outside the window is very consistent with the murderer's emotional instability and irritability in the profile. This made Kane even more convinced that he was the murderer, and although there were still some doubts, Kane chose to ignore them.

The two interrogators, apparently annoyed by him, threw the transcript on the table and shouted, "Don't test my patience! Mr. Blake! Tell me where the fuck you were on the day of the crime! ”

"Damn !!" Blake was completely enraged, he got up from his chair and slammed his fists on the table, the handcuffs slamming two blood marks on his wrists, "I said I didn't touch the kid!! ”

"Guard !!"

As the interrogators pleaded, two guards rushed into the room, and they beat Blake with batons to put him back in his cage.

"Do you think it's him?" A colleague standing next to Kane asked.

"It should be him, he fits the profile, violent tendencies, has a special fetish for children, and the angle of the corpse scar shows that the murderer is a thin person. I mean, there's not a lot of people in the city who are as short as him, and the murderer can't be a kid, right? ”

"But he passed the polygraph." A colleague retorted.

Kane shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not 100% accurate, I used it to show loyalty to my ex-girlfriend when I was in school." ”

When he was in college, Kane had a very bad girlfriend, she was definitely the kind of girl who was quite beautiful, but she was sensitive by nature, and she was always worried that Kane would get into trouble. So back then, every few weeks she would drag Kane to tinker with the polygraph.

The polygraph is mainly to monitor the autonomic nerve of the person, and the autonomic nerve is not governed by consciousness under common sense, and is completely spontaneous conditioned reflex. Therefore, when a person is lying, the lie detector can judge the person's response through the autonomic nerves.

Kane was a slippery kid who knew how it worked, so he would always buy a piece of chocolate, eat most of it, and then crush the rest of the little piece under his tongue to paralyze the autonomic nerve trick polygraph. He was a prodigal son at the time, and he wasn't going to rest on his laurels.

"We've been interrogating him for two days, and he doesn't look like he's lying."

As the university teachers taught, over time, the real criminal will sink into the devil and even cry, because he knows that he deserves it, and the innocent will be furious. Blake looks like the wrongdoer described in the book.

In fact, Kane doesn't think this person is like a murderer, but if he is not a murderer, then according to those clues, he is a child who is taller than little Benjamin.

At the time of the crime, the nearby surveillance also filmed that there was a child next to little Benjamin, but it was only a clip of less than a second, and they didn't pay much attention to this clue. After all, a born homicidal maniac, is this possible?

Just as Kane was struggling with himself, a young patrolman rushed into the interrogation room in a panic, gasping for air.

"Oh~Oh~ Relax man, what's so urgent?" Kane reassured him.

The patrol officer was out of breath and reluctantly explained: "Again.... Another child has been abducted! When we find out: Call..... The two boys were about to throw her into the river, and we ran to her. ”

‘......’

There was a moment of silence, and Kane first thought of the murderer of Benjamin Jr., and in the profile he clearly circled two important points with a red pen. Very violent, very stubborn, addicted to the pleasure of torture and killing, and the possibility of committing another crime in the short term is very high.

His colleague immediately asked, "Where?!" ”

"Under the bridge near Anfield Cemetery."

Without further ado, several people immediately took off their coats hanging on the wall and walked towards the police car. For some reason, Kane felt uncomfortable, like the worst he had expected was about to happen.

"Has the murderer been caught?" Kane asked uneasily.

"We caught two 10-year-olds, and we also found blood stains on their shoes that had been dried for a long time, and the forensic doctor was doing laboratory tests."

Hearing this, Kane was so frightened that he couldn't believe his ears. To make sure he heard correctly, he asked again, "Wait.... Who did you just say was the murderer? ”

The patrolman sensed his shock and rubbed his chin with his hand uneasily.

“..... Two 10-year-olds..... Kid ....."
