Chapter 88: The Crazy Ripper (2)

Holmes, played by Wang Ziyang, sat on the sofa and took a nap for two hours, and in these two hours, he also had a rough understanding of the relationship between the characters he played and the various NPCs in the world, as well as his own life. That is until Watson came back from outside and removed his trench coat. woke up Prince Young, who was still asleep.

"Hey, Wang Ziyang, I heard that there was a brutal murder near Whitechapel, haven't you been doing nothing lately, why don't you go over there and have a look. ”

"Oh, what is there about this case that will catch the eye of my dear Watson?"

"It's not because the murderer is too unconscionable and dissected the victim's stomach, I have experienced so many strange cases with you, and I have never seen someone who hates a person like this. ”

Hearing this, Wang Ziyang sat up from the sofa and looked at Watson and said:

"My dear Watson, why do you always have preconceived notions, and if you commit a horrific case, you must have a grudge against the deceased? ”

Watson nodded modestly when he heard this, and then asked:

"And what are you going to do now?"

"Now that I've piqued my interest, let's go and see the case. With that, Wang Ziyang stood up, picked up the trench coat on the coat rack and draped it over his body.

"Watson, aren't you going?" Wang Ziyang asked with some confusion.

"Please, I just got back from outside. Although Watson said this, his body stood up very honestly.

"Presumably, there are police officers around the crime site now, so we might as well go to the police station to find out the situation first, and with Inspector Lestrade providing clues, we can better find the clues left by the murderer. With that, Wang Ziyan put on his hat, picked up the map of London by the door, and pushed open the door of 221B Baker Street.

Because the game is set in London in the nineteenth century, people naturally only have a horse-drawn carriage as a means of transportation, and Wang Ziyang specially proposed to go to the police station in order to be familiar with the customs of the streets of London, which made Watson who had just walked back bitter.

Although Wang Ziyang walked very slowly, fortunately, the police station was not far from Baker Street, and after more than half an hour's journey, an old-fashioned police station from the last century appeared in the eyes of the two.

The two walked quickly into the police station, and a new police officer who had just joined the company stopped in front of them and asked them what they meant.

Wang Ziyang only explained his intention in a friendly manner, wanting to know about the murder that happened in the Whitechapel, and the policeman, after hearing this, showed an extremely impatient expression on his face, and wanted to drive the two away.

Seeing this, Wang Ziyang immediately said:

"We're not reporters, we're friends with Inspector Lestrade, this is Watson, and I'm Prince Yang, although you're just new to the police and haven't seen the two of us, I'm sure you've heard of us. ”

The policeman looked a little surprised when he heard this, and he let go of Watson, who had just been caught, and said:

"You are Mr. Wang Ziyang, I have heard Inspector Lestrade mention you many times, and you are indeed worthy of your reputation when you see you today, but how do you know that I am a newcomer who has just joined the company, and you still know that I know you?"

"It's simple, your clothes are brand new and you're not very old, like you've just come out of school, and you're a little nervous when you receive us, which the old cops don't do at all.

Looking at your meticulous outfit, it should be that you have just been on the job for a few days and want to make a good impression on others, but I advise you not to have to, when you have been working here for a few years, you will understand that it is better to dress comfortably when it is not necessary.

In addition, I have helped Inspector Lestrade solve cases many times, and I can basically name the police here, that is, I have not been to the police station for the last month, and your face did not appear in the police station a month ago. So to sum up, there is a high probability that you are a newcomer.

As for why I know you know us, first of all, that guy Lestrade always says my name every time something happens, and although sometimes he solves a puzzle by thinking about it, he does want me to help him whenever he has a problem. If you listen to it a lot, you'll naturally understand what kind of person I am, not to mention the various reports about me from outside.

In the end, it may be because the impact of this case is so bad that many reporters come to annoy you, which is why you hate reporters so much. But the surprise you were when I said we weren't reporters, and the 'I see' look like 'I see' when I introduced me and Watson made me even more sure you knew us, either way, and of course, I personally think it's more likely that you've been mentioned in the police station or by other police officers, are you right?"

When Wang Ziyang said this inference, he learned the essence of the Scroll Fu version of Sherlock Holmes, and the speed of speaking was called a fast, just like a hot mouth, and he said it like a cannon.

When the young police officer heard this, he immediately admired the five-body body and threw himself to the ground, so he almost rushed to find Wang Ziyang to ask for an autograph.

"Without further ado, where is Inspector Lestrade now?" Wang Ziyang asked the young police officer.

The officer was a little embarrassed and said:

"Inspector Lestrade had gone to the scene of the crime two hours ago and had not yet returned. But it should be back soon, are you going to wait here for a while or ......"

"No need. Let's go to the scene of the crime. Wang Ziyang interrupted the young policeman's words and turned to leave, but at this moment, a middle-aged and short man slowly walked into the police station, he had a pair of dark black eyes, his eyes were bright, and both in his clothes and actions exuded a kind of complacent and confident style. There is no doubt that it is Inspector Lestrade who has returned.

"Oh, my dear Prince Young, I haven't seen you for a month, and you're still so energetic. With that, Inspector Lestrade came to Wang Ziyang in three steps and two steps and hugged Wang Ziyang.

Wang Ziyang just patted him politely and said:

"I heard that there was a horrific case on the side of the Whitechapel, how is it, is your investigation going well?"

"Don't mention, except for a mutilated and horrible corpse, we haven't found any clues, I've already sent someone to cordon off the place first, the body has just been transported back, and I'm about to let the forensic doctor see, is there anything new to discover, just when you came, I was about to look for you." ”

With that, Inspector Lestrade turned around and walked towards the morgue next to the police station, worthy of someone who knew Prince Young (Sherlock Holmes), and knew that he didn't like formalities, so he went straight in and took him directly to see the corpse.

At the moment of seeing the corpse, even Wang Ziyang, who had experienced strong winds and waves, couldn't help frowning, and only words such as "extremely ferocious, heartbroken, and appalling" crossed his mind.

"The deceased's name is Martha Talum, she is only forty-three years old, and she is a prostitute by profession......" While Inspector Lestrade introduces the identity of the deceased, Prince Young and Watson also begin to check the deceased's injuries.

The deceased had deep strangulation marks on his neck, five punctures to his left lung, two to his right lung, and one to his heart (this was a fatal wound), all of which were stabbed before his death.

Martha also had thirty-eight stab wounds, which were supposed to have been stabbed by the same pocket knife, and in one case, by a long, open-bladed knife that pierced her entire chest.

"There are so many knives, even if it is a stab, it will take a while, and during this time, Martha may not be dead...... I really can't imagine that this unfortunate woman, who sells trinkets by day and sells her body at night, would have such a deep hatred for anyone to do such a cruel thing to her. Inspector Lestrade said.

At this time, Wang Ziyang, who was looking at the body, also expressed his preliminary opinion.

"The murderer should be a man of about 1.8 meters, and he is strong enough to strangle a woman to death. The murderer is supposed to cover the deceased's mouth from behind, strangle him, and then cut with a knife in his left hand. Being able to get close to the deceased without arousing the deceased's vigilance indicates that the murderer may be trading at the time of the killing, but because there is no trace of mating, it should be at the beginning of the transaction, and the murderer took advantage of the killer when the price was negotiated. ”

After speaking, Wang Ziyang stood up and said to Watson and Inspector Lestrade in front of him:

"What do you think was the murderer's motive?"

"I think it's a vendetta, otherwise how could you do such a horrible thing?" said Watson.

"Oh, Watson, your mind is still stuck in the routine. If it were a person of ordinary status, it would be possible to say that it was a vendetta, but you have to bring in the identity of this poor deceased. What kind of person is she? A poor prostitute, she has no money, no power, and even her beauty is slowly being lost, what terrible people or forces can she provoke to kill her? In addition, if it is really the hands of people who have a grudge against her, will she approach those people without defense? You must know that the murderer was made at the time of the transaction, and since the price is still being negotiated, it shows that the two do not know each other, at least the deceased does not know the murderer, which greatly reduces the possibility of vendetta. ”

"What about falling out of love, could it be that a man is out of love, so he rises up to kill people. A lovelorn person can get close to the deceased without being wary. Inspector Lestrade said.

"Again, although your idea solves the problem of distance between the two, it does not solve the problem of the identity of the deceased. First of all, we have to determine the identity of the deceased, a down-and-out prostitute, without a husband and no children, not to mention whether anyone would want to marry such a prostitute of old pearl yellow as a wife, and secondly, why did the deceased get rid of other men, with her current miserable situation of hunger and cold, could it be that one more person supporting each other would make her situation worse? ”

"Then what do you think the murderer's motive was?"

"Instead of determining the murderer's motive, let's rule out the most unlikely motive first, which will be simpler.

First of all, robbery is absolutely impossible, who goes back and robs a penniless prostitute. ”

"That's right. Watson and Inspector Lestrade said at the same time.

"Love killing and vendetta killing, after we discussed it, we also felt that it was unlikely. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Then there aren't many possibilities left. ”

"First, the murderer is a psychopath with serious violent tendencies, and if this is the case, the murderer is not easy to catch, because the deceased was randomly selected by him, and it is difficult for us to find out the connection between them and then find the murderer.

Second, it's a vendetta, only not against poor Martha, as Watson said, but against the whole group that Martha represents. It may be that the murderer hates prostitutes, or it may be that the murderer hates women, and so on, if this is the case, the murderer is likely to commit another crime, as long as the common ground of the deceased can be found, the murderer can be found.

Third, it may have been done by some cult members, such as Satanists, who believe that killing the dead like this can make Satan happy, and so on, and depending on the location of the crime, it is recommended that the police go into the slum to find out, most likely in a small house in the slum to hold a meeting.

That's what I think is the most likely motive for the killing.

By the way, Inspector Lestrade, take me to the scene of the crime and see if there are any clues of the murderer. It's better if there is still a homicide, don't destroy the scene yet, and then send the body back after I have seen it. Regardless of which of the above three motives the murderer had, I think there is a high probability that the murderer will continue to commit crimes. ”
