Chapter 50: Jack the Ripper Reappears (5)
"The East End of London in 1888 was a mix of slumbers, gangsters and prostitutes. In just three months, Jack the Ripper brutally killed at least five prostitutes by slitting their throats and slitting their abdomen. At that time, it was said that hundreds of people were included in the list of suspects in the case, some suspected that it was committed by women, others suspected that it was committed by famous painters, and even Prince Albert, the grandson of Queen Victoria of England, was also suspected, but for more than a hundred years it has been impossible to determine who is the real Jack the Ripper. During the crime, the murderer wrote many letters to relevant units to provoke, but he never fell into the legal net. His bold modus operandi was repeatedly exaggerated by the media, causing panic in British society at that time. Li Chengfeng said.
"Seal your throat and cut your abdomen? So cruel! Fang Xinling said in surprise.
"On August 7, 1888, the first body was found in Whitechapel in the eastern district of Chen, a middle-aged prostitute with 39 stabs, nine of which were stabbed in the throat.
On August 31 of the same year, a second body was found in the cargo area near Whitechapel, also a middle-aged prostitute, who had been bruised on her face, lost some of her front teeth, and had been slashed twice on her neck. But the most cruel thing was that the abdomen was dissected, the intestines were dragged out, and the baby girl in the womb was also severely pierced with a sharp blade.
The third body, which was found eight days later, in the fence behind the cheap rental apartment of the old coachman at 29 Hamberning Street, had her throat cut and had her abdomen cut out like the previous deceased, her intestines thrown onto her shoulders, part of her uterus and abdomen had been cut off by the murderers, and her neck was clearly strangled.
September 30, 1888 in Bishop's Square—"
"Wait, don't go on, I can't stand it anymore." Fang Xinling frowned and interrupted Li Chengfeng, "How do you remember this case so clearly?" ”
"When I went to the police academy, our criminal psychology teacher talked about this case in class, and I also consulted a lot of relevant materials before class, so I was very impressed, and it is the first of the top ten strange cases in the world, which is still worth studying." Li Chengfeng responded.
"I just heard you talk about this case, why do I think his methods are becoming more and more skillful and cruel?"
"Serial murderers are like that, they will continue to hone their killing skills by committing crimes, and they will also go from panic at the beginning to numbing enjoyment."
When they said this, both of them thought of Wei Yiche in unison, and their faces became more solemn.
"And what was your criminal psychology teacher's profile of Jack the Ripper like at the time?"
"White, 30 to 35 years old, living alone, single, intelligent, with an IQ of 120 or above, having a certain physical strength, having a fixed and legitimate occupation, having considerable knowledge of anatomy, being a skilled knife user, may be left-handed or proficient in using a knife with both hands, may not be a solo crime, has a low sense of social presence, is not conspicuous, and may have a criminal record."
When Li Chengfeng narrated to Fang Xinling, an unfamiliar number called Fang Xinling's mobile phone, but she cut it off, but she called it again, and Fang Xinling answered the phone.
"Hey, hello."
"Xinling." The familiar voice suddenly shocked Fang Xinling, and she suddenly stood up from her chair, her face changing greatly.
"Tongtong, whose phone is it?" Li Chengfeng asked worriedly.
"Chengfeng, I'll answer the phone." Fang Xinling hurriedly left her seat after dropping a sentence, and Li Chengfeng looked at her back thoughtfully.
Fang Xinling took his mobile phone and walked to a hidden corner of the library.
"Dad, is that you?" Fang Xinling asked in a low voice.
"You signed up for the police test? Want to be a detective? ”
"Yes, I want to be a detective, I don't want to deceive my heart anymore."
"Why don't you listen to me?"
"Why, exactly? Why are you so reluctant for me to be a detective? ”
"Xinling!"
"Now that the Wei family's case is over, what are you worried about?"
"Isn't it good that you will continue to be your tour guide, accompany your mother more, and live in peace?"
"My mother encouraged me to become a criminal policeman."
"Little Lei, she-"
"Dad, can you just tell me the truth? Do you know the people behind Qin Zhi and Wei Yiche? That's why I'm so afraid of being a criminal policeman, afraid that I'm in danger. ”
"It's not a question of whether it's dangerous or not, you might die, you know? Silly girl. ”
"Will you die?"
"You'll just listen to your dad obediently, okay?"
"Dad, am I really human?"
"Xinling, why are you- why do you ask that?"
"Just tell me, don't you?"
"Yes, why aren't you human?"
"I don't believe it, I think you're lying to me! My ability to talk to animals, my ability to make all animals feel close, and some of the dreams I had about my past and my future, and all of them happened to me. Some time ago, I dreamed that my boyfriend was shot and killed in order to save me-"
"Your boyfriend is Li Chengfeng?"
"Yes, that's him."
"You break up with him as soon as possible, you won't end well with him."
"Dad, you make it clear to me! Why didn't we end well? Father! Father! Fang Xinling asked excitedly, but Fang Zheng hung up the phone.
When Fang Xinling called back, he couldn't get through anymore.
The father did not deny what she said, which was tantamount to indirectly acquiescing in her unusualness. But more than her identity, she minded her father's last words, as long as she thought of Li Chengfeng lying in front of her covered in blood, her heart ached faintly.
What the hell is she going to do?
Fang Xinling returned to his seat in despair.
"Tongtong, what's wrong with your eyes? Just cried? Li Chengfeng approached Fang Xinling worriedly.
"It's the wind." Fang Xinling suddenly reached out and hugged Li Chengfeng.
"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Li Chengfeng was a little surprised by Fang Xinling's sudden hug, but he still hugged her back and asked in a low voice.
"Let's learn this today, I'm tired and want to go back and rest." Fang Xinling hugged Li Chengfeng tightly and buried his head on his shoulder.
"Okay, then we won't learn."
On the way back when Li Chengfeng took Fang Xinling, Fang Xinling kept holding Li Chengfeng's hand tightly and refused to let go, his hands were covered with sweat and he still clenched tightly, and he often peeked at Li Chengfeng, but every time Li Chengfeng looked at her, he would quickly avoid it. It was the first time for Li Chengfeng to see Fang Xinling's extremely insecure appearance like this, and he was even more worried.
"Tongtong, tell me honestly, what happened?" Li Chengfeng pulled Fang Xinling closer.
Fang Xinling lowered his head.
Li Chengfeng lifted Fang Xinling's chin and forced Fang Xinling to look him directly into the eyes.
"Huh?"
"Chengfeng, I don't want to say it." Fang Xinling's eyes were complicated.
"Something to do with your last disappearance?"
"Hmm."
"Okay, I'll wait for the day when you're willing to tell me."
"Chengfeng, thank you."
"You don't say that there must be your reasons, I believe you."
"Chengfeng, can you cooperate with Xiaonan to make a Douyin?"
"You call the shots, I'll shoot if you think you can."
"You're so nice." Fang Xinling stretched out his hand and hugged Li Chengfeng's neck, "Chengfeng." ”
"What's wrong?"
"If someone were going to shoot me one day, would you block the gun for me?"
"Why not?"
"You must not block the gun for me, you must not, you know?" Fang Xinling said seriously.
Li Chengfeng smiled but did not speak.
"Promise me!"
"Okay, I promise you, I won't block the gun for you."
"I've memorized it, and I'm going to do what I say!"
"Nightmare?" Li Chengfeng looked at her worriedly.
"Well, I dreamed that you died trying to save me." Fang Xinling said fearfully.
"Dreams and reality are opposites, don't worry." Li Chengfeng comforted softly.
Fang Xinling nodded heavily, but she couldn't be happy.
With the help of Fang Xinling, Su Xiaonan finally got her wish and asked Li Chengfeng to cooperate with her to shoot a Douyin, the content of Douyin is the part where Su Xiaonan ran to talk to Li Chengfeng and was rejected, Li Chengfeng starred in his true colors, and finally added, I already have a girlfriend. Even Fang Xinling couldn't have imagined that such a vulgar plot would have more than one million likes, and then netizens began to look around for Li Chengfeng's news, and Li Chengfeng unknowingly became an Internet celebrity under the impetus of netizens, and even the fans of Su Xiaonan's Douyin account skyrocketed to 200,000.
Liancheng Hospital.
Yun Yun pushed the door open from the outside.
"Husband, are you looking for anything from me?"
"Yun'er, you sit." Wu Qi motioned for Yun Yun to sit down in front of him.
"Husband, why are you so serious? I thought something was wrong. Yun Yun complained dissatisfiedly.
"Yun'er, let me ask you a question, and you answer me honestly."
"What's the problem?"
"Is it related to you?"
"Why did you suddenly ask about her? Did that little bastard tell you something secretly? Yun Yun's face changed and said angrily.
"He didn't tell me anything, you answered my questions."
"Don't think I don't know you went to see him a while ago, Li'er told me."
"Does it really have anything to do with you?"
"Yes, so what? She's been dead for so many years, and now you're going to call the police to arrest me! Yun Yun said loudly.
"Yun'er, didn't you promise me not to do anything to her?" Wu Qi looked at her sadly.
"Wu Qi, I promised you that you have to do it? When you proposed to me, didn't you still swear to me that you only like me alone in this life, and only be good to me alone? But how do you do it? If it weren't for that slut, how would I have been like this all these years? It's good that I didn't cut her with a thousand cuts. Yun Yun said viciously.
"Yun'er, how did you become—" Wu Qi looked at her in surprise.
"Wu Qi, you want to say how I became like this, right? Hehe, this is all forced by you, all by you! Yun Yun roared uncontrollably.
"Yun'er, I'm sorry for you." Wu Qi said guiltily.
"What's the use of talking about that now? Can you compensate me? No! You can't, you're dying now, and all you're thinking about is the child born to that wild woman. Yun Yun sneered.
"It's all my fault." Wu Qi lowered his head.
"Wu Qi, if you really want to avenge that woman, then you can call the police and let them arrest me." After Yun Yun finished speaking, she shook off and left.
Wu Qi looked at the closed door and fell silent.
Two months passed quickly, and with the help of Li Chengfeng, Fang Xinling successfully passed the police entrance exam and became a trainee criminal policeman in the big case squadron.
Today is her first day on the job.
"Xinling, we can work together this time." Su Xiaonan said.
"Senior Su is good." Fang Xinling smiled.
"Naughty!" Su Xiaonan reached out and pinched Xin Ling's cheek.
"Xinling, I didn't expect us to be able to work together." Yang Peiwu stretched out his hand.
"It's my pleasure." Fang Xinling held Yang Peiwu's hand.
"Xinling, thanks to you last time, otherwise my old face would really be lost." Xie Bo said ashamedly.
"That's all in the past, you will be my predecessor in the future, and I hope Uncle Xie will give me advice."
"Of course."
"Xin Ling, after you come, Xiao Nan will never complain that she is the only girl in the big case squadron." You Jun said with a smile.
"Just you talk a lot." Su Xiaonan threw an eraser at You Jun, and You Jun was sensitive to catch it.
"You two are starting so soon, the rumored War of the Century."
"Xinling, how come you even know this?" Su Xiaonan said angrily.
In the end, Fang Xinling walked towards Li Chengfeng.
"Chengfeng, this time we can fight side by side."
"I'm looking forward to it."
At this moment, the phone in the office suddenly rang, and You Jun hurriedly ran over to answer the phone.
"Team Li, there was a homicide case on Xinyuan Road in Liancheng New District!"
