Chapter 31: The Trap
"On 7 August 20xx, at 7:15 p.m., the body of a woman was found at the entrance of the park near Whitechapel East, a middle-aged sex worker: Martha Tabram, 35. When she was found, she had received 39 stabs to her body, nine of which had slashed her throat. And the internal organs were taken out, and placed beside him in the shape of a human face.
At 7:45 a.m. today, another sex worker, Mary Ann Nichols, was found dead at the age of 43 in Bucks Row, near Whitechurch. When she was found, she was bruised from a beating, lost some of her front teeth, and had two cuts to her neck. But the most cruel thing is that the abdomen was cut open, and ** was also severely stabbed with a sharp blade. Similarly, her internal organs were all removed and placed next to her in the same figure of a human face.
At the same time, at the scene where the deceased Mary Ann Nicholas was found, there were traces of fierce fighting, and a large amount of blood was left at the scene. And according to eyewitnesses, a large-scale battle broke out at the scene with dozens of people at that time, and monsters such as werewolves and vampires appeared to participate in the battle.
After a preliminary investigation, a large number of remains that did not belong to human tissue and traces of a large number of weapons of mass destruction were found at the scene.
At present, the case is under further investigation.
xx Morning Post, Reporter: xxx.xxxx. “
The next morning, Bu Si and his group sat in the hotel restaurant, eating breakfast while reading the newspaper in front of them.
I have to say that everyone's nerves are really big enough, looking at such a disgusting news report, they can still eat without the slightest discomfort.
"It's the first time I've rested in this world, and it feels a little weird, but I like it!"
Conan said with a look of enjoyment as he ate his breakfast.
"What are you going to do next?"
As he spoke, Conan looked silently.
"What else can be done? Of course, to gather intelligence and find out what happened this morning. “
"After all, this is in the United Kingdom, and the team participating in this quest is still mostly the Awoken in the United Kingdom, so I hope that after eating, Olsen and Scarlett can go and find out the Awoken who participated in the battle this morning to find out the situation."
Sister Olsen had no objection to this, and nodded slightly, indicating understanding.
"What about us?"
The royal sister took a sip of milk and looked up and asked.
"Let's go find the three remaining dead!"
Hearing this, the royal sister was stunned, but she didn't say anything.
After breakfast, everyone was divided into two teams as they said before, and Conan, naturally, followed them silently.
"Where are we going to find the remaining dead? Do you have a clue? “
Conan smiled and looked at Silence and asked.
"Well, through this morning's newspaper, we can already determine that the place of death of the first and second deceased has not changed in the slightest from the murder that happened in history, so we only need to go to the place where the third deceased in history occurred."
"Moreover, according to reports, there is a twenty-four day gap between the first deceased and the second deceased in history, and in this copy, there is a difference of about 12 hours between the first deceased and the second deceased, and I think there should be a connection between them."
"The chronological order of the murders was Martha Tabrien, who was killed on August 7, 1888. Mary Ann Nicholas, killed on August 31, 1888. Anne Chapman, killed September 8, 1888. Elizabeth Studet, killed September 30, 1888. Catherine Edaus, killed on September 30, 1888. and the last Mary Jane Carey, who was killed on November 9, 1888. ”
"Although the news circulating outside is that Jack the Ripper killed five sex workers, in fact, this is not accurate, it should be said that he committed the crime five times, but in the fourth of them, there were two deceased, so there should be six victims."
"The time intervals between these five cases are 24 days, 8 days, 22 days and 9 days, respectively."
"Referring to the time of the two previous cases, if the interval of eight hours is used as the standard reference, the time interval of the remaining cases is four hours, eleven hours and four and a half hours respectively."
"There is still more than an hour before the third case occurred, and as for the location of the crime, if I remember correctly, it should be behind the cheap rental apartment at No. XX on Hamberning Street."
Half an hour later, the three of them appeared on the top of a tall building across the street from the crime site, looking down at the crime site, without the slightest intention of protecting the victims.
"Do you feel it?"
Bu Shi looked down at the street scene below and asked Conan beside him.
"Are you referring to the two dark creatures, or are you referring to the Awoken who protect Anne Chapman?"
Conan glanced at him and said with a light smile.
"I don't have the strength of yours, even other awakened people can easily sense it, I can only sense those blood clans, listen to you, in addition to the blood clan, there are other dark creatures present?"
"Well, yes, there are indeed two very different dark auras down there."
Because Conan can incarnate as a dragon, he is particularly sensitive to the aura of this dark creature.
"But in the current situation, the complexity of this copy is far beyond our imagination."
Bu Yu shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"I said, are we really watching that Anne Chapman get killed like that? What if all the victims of history were killed and we were judged to have failed? ”
The royal sister said with a cold face.
"Don't worry, this won't happen."
"Before I met Anne Chapman, I couldn't have fully concluded that their presence was a trap for our awakened ones, but now, I can be sure."
Bu silently shook his head and said to the royal sister.
"Why is that?"
The royal sister asked curiously.
Bu Yu and Conan looked at each other and smiled, and then said slowly: "Because that woman is not an ordinary person, but ...... A blood clan, and the strength is not bad, it should have B-level strength. ”
As he spoke, Sister Yu suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong with you?"
Conan asked curiously when he saw that the expressions of the two suddenly became ugly.
"Olsen, they've got news."
said with a gloomy face.
"Oh? What do they say? What the hell happened this morning? ”
Hearing this, Conan's expression also became serious.
"I don't know!"
"Don't know?"
"yes, I just don't know."
"According to Olsen's message, the Awoken who went to find Marie Ann Nicholas last night...... They all died, and even all the residents who lived at the scene of the crime disappeared with them, and no one knew what had happened this morning. ”
As he spoke, he turned around without saying a word and looked at Anne Chapman, who was walking in the back of the house, and her expression gradually became serious.
