Leaving aside the trivial matter of Cook being called, although the latter also summoned Anna, who followed later, it did not affect Lei Chan's speech.

Lei Chan looked at the black-faced Sherbo with a smile and asked, "Detective, are you looking for me to investigate the case?" ”

Xie Erbo directly threw a dossier in front of Lei Chan, "After reading it, let's talk about things again!" ”

Lei Chan did not refuse, and took the file and read it.

The name of the dead prostitute was Martha, and according to records, she was a nomadic prostitute who was nearly forty years old. (I have to say that the actor of this Martha is just a woman in her twenties, but it is also bitter to play an old woman who is nearly forty.) She lives in the area near Whitechapel, has no permanent home, and is a heavy drinker. She was last found next to a tavern on a nearby street, where she was said to be drunk and found her body near Whitechapel in the East End.

At the bottom of the dossier was a very rudimentary autopsy report. The content in it is roughly the same as what Lei Chan said, and I believe this is one of the reasons why Sheer Bo asked Anna to bring Lei Chan.

Lei Chan put down the dossier, picked up the hot coffee and sipped it, and looked at Xie Erbo with interest without speaking.

Xie Erbo stretched out his hand with a dark face, and put a stack of shillings in front of Lei Chan, one stack after another, a total of five stacks of shillings in front of Lei Chan, and then said slowly: "Tell me what you found!" ”

Lei Chan took a closer look at the money on the table, and did not show the greedy face that Sherbo wanted to see, but stretched out his hand and took ten shillings and put them in his pocket, and then said slowly: "First of all, it can be seen from the time records on the file that this person should be very familiar with the area near the White Chapel. From the time the last person in the record ever saw this woman named Martha, to the time when the body of the woman Martha was found was found, it was less than two hours. No matter how remote the Whitechapel neighborhood is, someone should pass by. The man found a place where no one was around, killed Martha in just two hours, and fled unnoticed, indicating that he was very familiar with the neighborhood.

The second clue, judging from the autopsy report, is that the murderer is a left-hander! That's all I can see! ”

Compared with the first clue, the second one was much simpler and clearer, which made Cook, who was about to wait for Lei Chan's tirade, stunned, "It's over?" ”

"It's over!" Lei Chan nodded seriously, and after drinking the coffee, he handed the cup to Anna again, and motioned for her to have another cup.

Sherbo frowned and thought about the clues that Lei Chan could provide, but found that there were too few clues he could get, and he was just a poor person at the bottom, so he couldn't find a suspect to suspect at all. After all, the slums of this period were chaotic to the extreme, and they were a breeding ground for crime, and coupled with the lack of criminal investigation methods, cases like this without obvious evidence would soon be reduced to unsolved cases and put on the shelf.

In any case, Sherbo has already put the case under wraps. Anyway, the victim was just a street prostitute, and no one has come to claim it to this day, and the results speak for themselves. Compared to this case, Shelby is more interested in Lei Chan himself. Of course, this interest is not a philosophical interest, but an interest in Lei Chan's abilities.

After Sherbo closed the file, he again put on the appearance of yesterday's five fingers crossed and said: "Joseph, don't you think this job is too easy for you to take a week's salary from about a worker after only answering two questions?" ”

Lei Chan was stunned, he thought that Xie Erbo would continue to talk about the case, but he didn't expect him to turn the topic to himself. But after thinking about it, he quickly guessed Sherbo's intentions, he wanted to recruit himself... Maybe!

I saw Lei Chan take a deep breath and said, "Isn't it normal for a poor person to just want to live and earn as much money as possible?" Besides, I really need money right now, there's no doubt about that. ”

"For that prostitute?" Sherbo looked at Lei Chan with a smile, wanting to see a little surprise or panic on his body.

It's a pity that Sherbo was still disappointed, and Lei Chan not only didn't show a surprised expression, but nodded very seriously, as if he had known that they would investigate him. I only heard Lei Chan say: "I don't want her to be a prostitute anymore, using money to support her is the best way." ”

"But you didn't even get in at her door, did you?" Anna on the side suddenly opened her mouth, Lei Chan didn't expect that she would also participate in her own investigation.

Lei Chan glanced at the three people in the office and said, "Let's get to the point, I'm not suspected of murder, and I was just called here to listen to two clues that are not very important?" I don't believe it, if there is any other purpose, just say it. ”

The three of them showed a rare expression, and then Shelbo looked at Lei Chan and said, "I have a proposal to become a low-level investigator in the police department, with a weekly salary of 1 pound 12 shillings, and if you want to receive a daily salary, you can be given 4 shillings a day." ”

Sherbo looked at Lei Chan very confidently, for them, low-level investigators may be just a low-paying job, but for dock porters, who are on the poverty line all year round, it is undoubtedly a well-paid job. I believe that no poor person will refuse such a job. Even the onlookers were appreciating Sam's subconscious horror, and he jumped to the level of a supernumerary member of the police department.

But Lei Chan is still known as the first subconscious actor of accident after all, even if he himself has forgotten it.

"No, I refuse." Lei Chan directly rejected Xie Erbo's invitation, pointed to his head and said, "What I have here is not something that a low-level investigator's salary can buy. And, if you need it, I can earn a day's salary just by finding a clue, and it doesn't even affect me to earn an extra salary every day. As I said, I'm short of money, very short of money! ”

With that, Lei Chan stood up and thanked Anna who was standing aside: "Your coffee is very good, thank you!" After speaking, he nodded at the other two, turned around and walked towards the door of the police station. Because he also understands that now is only the beginning of the case, and he looks unusual, but it is not enough for Sherbo to spend a lot of money to keep him.

What's next... Just wait for the script to fast forward!

As Lei Chan expected, not long after he walked out of the police station, he walked on the road a little gloomy, with a flower in front of him, the script... Fast forward!
