Chapter 11: Sherlock Holmes

"Did you find anything? Mr. Holmes. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "In the morgue where the corpse was parked last night, Sherlock Holmes, Yue Chen and several police officers looked at the tragic corpse in front of them, and the person who thought that the officer looked like a police officer frowned and looked at the female corpse in front of him, "No matter how many times you look at it, you will only feel miserable...... Judging by the modus operandi, it should be Jack the Ripper......"

"Not should, but definitely." Sherlock Holmes lowered his head and carefully examined the wounds of the corpse in front of him, "The deceased was disemboweled in an instant by an extremely sharp knife, during which the murderer did not hesitate at all, there is no doubt that he is extremely accustomed to this kind of operation, coupled with the lack of certain organs, do you think these characteristics cannot point to the murderer?" ”

Yue Chen didn't interject, just quietly looked at the corpse in front of him, couldn't help frowning, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

"However, if it was really Jack the Ripper, there would have been too many cases last night." The officer frowned and looked at the other bodies in the room, "More than a dozen women were killed in just one night, and many of them were burglaries, which is not found in Jack the Ripper's previous cases." ”

"This is also what worries me the most...... "Sherlock Holmes lowered his head, looked at Yue Chen and said, "Mr. Yue Chen, you guess the same as me." ”

"Speaking of which, Mr. Holmes, I just wanted to ask, who is this man from the East? What about Dr. Watson who used to be with you? The officer looked at Yue Chen and said to Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes raised his head and immediately laughed: "Hahahaha, because my intuition told me that this case would be very dangerous, so I didn't let Watson come, and it just so happened that Mr. Yue Chen was also chasing the whereabouts of this [Jack the Ripper], so I temporarily let him be my assistant." ”

"Is that so?" The officer said.

"I'm back, Mr. Holmes." At this moment, Jekyll walked in from outside, looked at Yue Chen and Sherlock Holmes and said, "The results of the investigation at the scene are out." ”

"How?" Yue Chen asked.

Jekyll shook his head, took out a report form, and said, "The police didn't find any clues at the scene, but they have obtained permission to enter the scene." ”

"Well done, that's enough, Mr. Jekyll." Sherlock Holmes smiled and took the form from Jekyll's hand, buttoned up his hat and looked at Yue Chen, "Then, Mr. Yue Chen, it looks like we need to continue on our journey, this time there may be a lot of locations, so we will be very tired." ”

Yue Chen looked at Jack and said with a smile: "Ah, don't worry, I've long been used to being tired." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"I'm so tired......"

"yes, Mom......"

In the evening, Yue Chen and Jack both sighed and sat weakly at the mouth of an alley.

"In order to facilitate the investigation, the surrounding environment was not cleaned, and it seems that we rushed in time." Sherlock Holmes looked around and said, "Jekyll, be careful, those stupid cops have already damaged the scene enough, and if you continue to destroy the scene, the difficulty will skyrocket." ”

"I know, Mr. Holmes." Jekyll nodded, looking at the tragic situation at the scene, and couldn't help frowning, "However, it's still the same bloody scene." ”

A large amount of blood was splattered around, and the walls, floors, and even alleys were splashed with large pools of blood, making people wonder if the amount of bleeding in the human body could really reach this level.

"Mr. Holmes, has the investigation come to an end?" Yue Chen looked at Sherlock Holmes and said.

However, Sherlock Holmes didn't speak, just stood in the middle of the alley with his cane and looked at the dried blood on the ground, Yue Chen just wanted to walk over, but the next action of the great detective in front of him made him speechless for a moment - Holmes gently tapped his cane on the ground, and in an instant, several branches poked out of the cane, and there were magnifying glass-like tools installed on it.

"Ah, I'm sorry to scare you?" Holmes laughed, "Because of all kinds of cases, I have modified my cane a little, and I have adapted the tools I usually use into it. ”

Yue Chen looked at Holmes's cane and said with a smile: "It's still ...... It's really a convenient thing...... No, this is already a product of the technology of the times! ”

"Huh? Mr. Yue Chen, were you just talking about technology that is ahead of the times!? Leonardo da Vinci's voice suddenly came out of his phone.

"Leonardo da Vinci, shut up."

Sherlock Holmes smoked his pipe, calmly looked at the blood stains on the ground, and said with a smile: "All in all, there is a lot of blood left at the scene, and I should be grateful to that kid for this." ”

"What do you mean?" Yue Chen also stood up curiously.

"Look." Sherlock Holmes pointed to the messy footprints on the ground that were imprinted on the blood, "These footprints can tell us the answer completely." ”

Jekyll also crouched down curiously, looking at the footprints that Holmes pointed to, but in his eyes, these footprints were completely disorganized, and there was nothing unusual at all.

"It's because you can't see anything strange that the truth is hidden in it." Sherlock Holmes said with a smile, "Actually, the anomaly can be seen from the footprints alone, you see, this footprint is the sole print of the police's special boot, if you find a police officer to compare it on the spot, you can confirm it." ”

Sherlock Holmes pointed to the place in front of him that seemed to be covered by the messy footprints that the police had stepped on and said: "But what I want to say is this, such footprints appear in the footprints written by the police officer, Mr. Yue Chen, take a look, is this footprint too small compared to the police officer?" It's not so much a police officer, but a child's footprint, and to be specific, a small shoe print that can only be possessed by a little girl about ten years old. ”

"Indeed."

Yue Chen frowned, and after being pointed out by Sherlock Holmes, he finally discovered the small girl's footprints hidden under the officer's footprints - this was obviously the trace of Jack's walk! Even the soles of the shoes are probably exactly the same.

"And it's not just here, I've found footprints like this at other crime scenes, and as for why I can conclude that this is the child's footprints-" Holmes stood up and smoked softly, "Only her footprints standing here are not completely covered in blood, and when the police found the body at the scene, it was obvious that the scene was already covered in blood, so they stepped on the blood that was close to drying up, and left marks directly under the blood." ”

"But if it's the one who killed the victim and was still standing there when the blood flowed...... Is that what it means that blood can't flow completely because it's blocked? Jekyll pushed his glasses and said with a frown.

"That's right, so it's unmistakable that this serial murder must have been the work of Jack the Ripper's child." Holmes nodded, "The only question is why that kid changed his criminal methods overnight, and that has to be clarified anyway." ”

"That...... Mr. Holmes, I think if you follow what you said, I think the pair of footprints here are also worth paying attention to......" At this time, Yue Chen's voice suddenly came, making Holmes and Jekyll look over.

"This is-" Seeing that Yue Chen pointed not far from the mouth of the alley, Holmes did see a pair of footprints, but the moment he saw those footprints, Holmes's expression became solemn - it was not so much a pair of footprints as the imprints on the soles of a pair of forefeet, because the blood stopped flowing behind the person's forefeet, and then changed to the current posture.

"It wasn't the policeman's footprints, and it was definitely not the child's footprints, and the footprints weren't completely covered in blood...... That's right, when [Jack the Ripper] committed a crime here, there was another person present...... There are no such footprints in other places, is it because he didn't follow him? Or did he not enter the scene of the crime, but instructed Jack behind the scenes......"

Sherlock Holmes carefully observed the very inconspicuous sole prints, and muttered in a low voice: "Judging from the part of the forefoot, the soles of this person's feet belong to a relatively wide type, so it can be inferred that my height is about five to six feet, and the shoe prints are quite exquisite, it should belong to the kind of boots that are expensive, and this person's standing posture can also be seen to be well-educated, and he is a person with a lot of power." ”

"But...... Why are such people here? Jekyll asked, confused.

Sherlock Holmes and Yue Chen glanced at each other, both seemed to understand the meaning in each other's eyes, Yue Chen frowned and said, "The most worrying thing really happened......

"Yes...... Mr. Yue Chen, although I already have a number in my heart, but even so, I still have to ask you one last time, tonight is probably not as simple as imagined...... We're not just going to be faced with Jack the Ripper, a vicious criminal - but the dark side of the evil of all London, and indeed all of Britain, and even then, are you going to hold on? ”

Yue Chen clenched his fists and said, "Ah, no matter who it is, using that child to commit a crime, I absolutely can't tolerate this kind of thing." ”

"Mom! Jack will never be afraid! Jack grabbed Yue Chen's arm and said firmly.

Sherlock Holmes looked at Jekyll and Yue Chen, lightly buttoned his hat on his head, and said with a smile: "Then please make the final preparations, Mr. Jekyll, Mr. Yue Chen, tonight, the storm is coming-"
