Chapter 147: A New Victim
In fact, Lei Chan has never been sleepy, even if he is holding a familiar stranger in his arms, he doesn't feel it at all. To be exact, there was no other feeling in my heart except the sadness in my heart for the wife in my memory.
So when there was a knock on the door, he quickly reined in the inexplicable feeling in his heart and got up. Maybe because of this, he woke Kate up at once because he was too big.
When I opened the door of the room, I saw Anna, dressed in a black robe, wearing a veil and standing outside the door with a mysterious look. Almost immediately, Lei Chan felt his right arm being tightly grasped. Kate, the woman, actually pulled down the clothes on her shoulders for the first time, revealing her fair skin, and hugged Lei Chan's arm in her arms, making a very intimate appearance between the two.
Lei Chan frowned, but did not withdraw his arm, allowing Kate to hold it. He asked Anna outside the door, "Is there something going on?" ”
Anna took off her veil and said to him with a serious face: "The detective wants you to pass, the murder has happened again!" Get in the car, there's no time! ”
Following Anna's gaze, a carriage was already parked on the road below. Lei Chan subconsciously looked up at the big clock in the distance, and under the hazy fog, he could only see that it was about four o'clock in the morning. He was about to leave with Anna, but his arm was grabbed by a dead grip. When he turned his head to look, he saw Kate looking at him with a frightened expression, as if she was about to lose something.
"What's wrong?" When Lei Chan saw this scene, as if something had been touched in his heart, he asked in a slow voice.
"What homicide, who is she?" Kate grabbed Lei Chan's hand, and while clearly swearing sovereignty to Anna, she asked Lei Chan with some fear, as if she was afraid that the stability of so many days would leave.
Lei Chan smiled, and the smile seemed warm. I saw that he asked Anna to give him a little time, and then stroked Kate's hair, and told him about his previous transaction with Sheerbo, and how he met the woman outside the door. This barely calmed Kate's heart, this scene was obviously full of a sense of disobedience, but it made people unable to say where the disobedience was, this was Lei Chan's thoughts.
Until he was about to leave the door, he said to Kate, who was standing at the door, "I will definitely come back!" ”
But as soon as the words came out, he was stunned, because the sentence seemed familiar, as if he had said it somewhere.
He stood for a while, until Anna couldn't help but push Lei Chan's back, then he reacted, nodded at Kate, and said "I'm leaving", and then got into Anna's carriage and galloped away.
In the carriage, Anna drove the carriage while looking curiously at Lei Chan, who was frowning.
"What's wrong?" Lei Chan felt Anna's eyes and looked over suspiciously.
Anna seemed to be a little flustered, but quickly stabilized her mood and asked: "I'm just curious, with your wisdom, you can make a lot of money, find a better woman, why do you need to find that kind of woman... Yes, I'm sorry! ”
She noticed that when she mentioned that Kate was that kind of woman, Lei Chan's brows obviously furrowed again, and she couldn't help but quickly apologize.
Lei Chan waved his hand, "Money doesn't matter to me, but she's different, she can't be a prostitute." Well, tell me about the homicide! ”
Anna quickly shook off the strange feeling in her mind and answered the words of what had happened not long ago.
...
At about 3:45 a.m., a homeless man near Whitechapel called the police to claim that the body had been found. The London police soon sent police to cordon off the area, initially thinking it was an ordinary robbery and murder, but after the body was found, they didn't think so. Because... The abdomen of the corpse was dissected!
Seeing this scene, Cook and Sherbo, who handled it, subconsciously connected with the murder case twenty days ago, and even thought of a person, Joseph, a mysterious porter who asked for money. With Sherbo's permission, Cook asked Anna to pick up Rayzen.
Anna is also smart, and after visiting a few places where Joseph often goes (lost) and doesn't find it, she goes straight to the door of the prostitute to whom Joseph gave money, and sure enough, she finds Joseph here, which is what happened just now.
The location where the body was found was not far away, and it was two blocks away in a horse-drawn carriage. Lei Chan tried his best to memorize these streets, although he knew the names of every street in his memory, it did not mean that he could find them accurately every time. When the carriage stopped, Lei Chan realized that it was not far from the Whitechapel where the body of the first victim, Martha, was found, in the Bucks Ro area.
At this time, the place where the body was displayed had been fenced off by the police. Lei Chan has never understood what Anna's identity is, she doesn't have a police badge on her body, and her outfit has nothing to do with the police, but she can easily let the police who blocked the scene allow her to pass, and she has a certain authority but is independent of it, and the fool seems to have some kind of conjecture.
Seeing Lei Chan following Anna, Inspector Sherbo just wanted to speak, but Lei Chan had already stretched out his hand. Sherbo and Cook were stunned for a moment, but Anna next to them was more clever, and with a chuckle, he put 5 shillings in Lei Chan's palm.
Lei Chan smiled and said, "The murderer is a serial killer, and I don't know for what purpose, he targeted the poor people around here. As I said at the beginning, the murderer was familiar with the neighborhood and should have lived in this area. ”
Xie Erbo rolled his eyes rarely: "Say two words of nonsense, you can get 5 shillings, let's look at the corpse first!" ”
Lei Chan smiled, but did not mean to return the 5 shillings, but squatted down to uncover the sackcloth covering the corpse.
Not surprisingly, this time the deceased was still one of the seven actresses who appeared in the actors' preparation room. It was clear that the actress also wanted to challenge herself to not die under the attack of Jack the Ripper, and apparently she failed. I saw that her face was swollen, and it was obvious that she had been violently beaten. The mouth is slightly open, and you can see that some of the front teeth have fallen out inside. He was stabbed twice in the neck, as was the case with the first victim. What really made Sherbo and Cook decide that it was a serial murder case, but it was a wound in the abdomen.
Like the first deceased, the abdomen of the deceased was also dissected, but what was even more cruel was that in addition to the intestines being pulled out and placed on the shoulder, there was also a baby girl who had been dug out and thrown aside. The murderer was so cruel that he didn't even spare the baby, and the baby girl was severely stabbed with a sharp blade.
Lei Chan took a deep breath and put the burlap back on before standing up.
The faces of the three people standing next to him were also not very good, and it was not until the corpses were covered up again that the faces of the three men eased slightly.
"How, what did you find?" Sherbo couldn't wait to come up and ask.
...
