Chapter 94: The Crazy Ripper (8)
Wang Ziyang, as he himself said, watched "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" for a whole day, and because of his fast reading speed, it only took one day to read all the Sherlock Holmes series.
At nine o'clock that night, Wang Ziyang finally removed his buttocks, which he had not moved all day, from the piece of old leather, and walked back and forth in the living room, moving his body.
Seeing his old friend standing up, Watson asked:
"You're going to watch Sherlock Holmes for another day tomorrow?"
Wang Ziyang replied as he stretched:
"It depends, although I have already read it once, but if there is no case tomorrow, I plan to read it again to see if there is anything missing. ”
After saying that, Wang Ziyang began to recall every Sherlock Holmes he had read, thinking about what secrets these books hid.
"Is it a name?" muttered the prince in a low voice.
"What? 'What name?' Watson asked, a little confused.
"Nothing. After Wang Ziyang finished answering Watson, he began to think in his heart.
"It shouldn't be a person's name. The names of the people in the game in Sherlock Holmes are basically positive characters, and NPCs like this should not be murderers. As for Mr. Baskerville, Baskerville is a place name in the book, and it should be a simple tribute to the book Sherlock Holmes, and it should not be a murderer.
Could that be a trick?
It shouldn't be, and throughout so many books, none of the murderers in one of them are as cruel as Jack the Ripper, and it shouldn't be a clue in terms of modus operandi.
So what's left?
Is it the author who points to it? That is, Mr. Conan Doyle is the clue character, or is Conan Doyle the murderer?"
After that, Wang Ziyang has been thinking about the plot of the story, and until twelve o'clock Wang Ziyang fell asleep, there was no other news from the police station, it should be that the murderer did not commit the crime today.
At one o'clock in the morning, Wang Ziyang, who was still dreaming, was pulled up by Watson, Wang Ziyang rubbed his sleepy eyes that had not fully opened, and asked:
"What's wrong, why did you wake me up so early?"
I saw Watson quickly put on his clothes and said to Wang Ziyang:
"Inspector Lestrade just called and said that someone had reported the case at one o'clock in the morning, saying that the body of a middle-aged prostitute had been found near a coachman's house, and that they had brought someone over and told us to hurry up, otherwise the scene might be destroyed by three other inspectors if it was too late. ”
When he heard the first half of the words, Wang Ziyang was still unhurriedly dressed, but as soon as he heard that someone might destroy the scene, he immediately sped up and completed the record second only to Chen Long - he finished washing and dressing in eight minutes, and turned over into the carriage to the scene of the crime.
"This time the body was different from the previous ones, the deceased was not disemboweled. Inspector Lestrade, who was waiting outside, saw that Wang Ziyang and the two had finally arrived, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce the situation.
The other three detectives and their assistants did not move the body at this time, but only looked around the body.
Wang Ziyang pushed away the crowd of onlookers and walked straight to the corpse.
"From the fact that you didn't turn over the corpse, you're okay. Wang Ziyang said as he put on white gloves and squatted down.
The rest of the people saw that Wang Ziyang was so domineering, and they all mocked. A man in a black trench coat looked at Wang Ziyang, who was crouching, and mocked:
"Yo, if you want to get back to the scene when you're late, you can disrespect your seniors? Tell you, little brother, what you do is to spend more time on the crime scene, if you don't even have a sense of time, even if Inspector Lestrade asks, our seniors won't wait for you next time." As he spoke, the two people next to the man echoed each other, looking at Wang Ziyang's joke.
Wang Ziyang was not annoyed, but asked lightly:
"Since you came so early, you must have carefully examined the body, so what conclusion have you come to? ”
"Then let the seniors tell you the conclusion, and you don't have to continue to check.
The deceased's name was Elizabeth Stude, and this was the information that could be easily obtained from the documents she dropped. In addition, the deceased died of excessive blood loss in the carotid artery in her neck, and from her bloodstained hands, it should have been left by covering her neck with her hands when her throat was cut. According to the informant, he had seen a man with a suspicious look in the first few streets, and when he paced here a little more, he found the body, so I thought that the man with a suspicious look was the murderer in this case.
Although the deceased was also a middle-aged prostitute, because the deceased was not disemboweled, I don't think it was done by Jack the Ripper. ”
"That's all?" Wang Ziyang said as he stood up and looked at the smug man in front of him.
"Is there anything else you can add?" the man had apparently not heard of Wang Ziyang's prestige.
"Absolutely.
The deceased's hands were full of blood, and it was true that he covered his neck, but the deceased's left hand was more bloody, and there was still a fine brown sweater fluff between the fingernails of the deceased, so it can be inferred that the deceased had struggled.
In addition, the deceased had bruises on both shoulders, especially on the right side, below the collarbone and on the chest. And these bruises, judging from the traces, should have been caused by the pressure of the hands. If you lift the deceased's clothes slightly, you can see that the deceased also has large bruises on his back and a small amount of blood on the back of his head. So it should be that the deceased was attacked from behind, and the scarf she was wearing was violently pulled by the murderer from behind, and the deceased fell to the ground instantly, and the back of his head was slightly knocked to the ground. After that, the murderer sat on the deceased, controlled the deceased with one hand, and quickly slashed towards the left aorta of the deceased with the other hand.
The deceased also began to struggle at this time, but due to the difference in injuries and strength as a woman, he was pressed by the murderer's hands, and the struggle was to no avail. It's just that at this time, I don't know what happened, which caused the murderer to leave and did not continue to inflict violence, which also caused the deceased to cover his neck and struggle desperately. ”
"How do you know that's how the murderer did it? You haven't seen it. ”
Wang Ziyang ignored the man, but continued:
"There was little blood below the chest of the deceased and a large amount of blood above the chest, indicating that there was an object below the chest when the deceased's neck was cut, so that the blood did not splash up. And why the deceased struggled after the murderer left is a conclusion drawn by looking at the form of the deceased. The deceased's blood was mainly concentrated on the front, while the deceased was on the back, indicating that the deceased had tried to roll over and crawl away, but after she finally turned around, she fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss and died.
As for what you think is that this case has nothing to do with the Ripper, I think it is groundless. As you said, the informant had seen a suspicious man hovering nearby, so in the same way, the murderer knew that there was someone nearby, and he had to act quickly and leave quickly. Then, there are two possibilities, one is that the murderer in this case is indeed different from the murderer in the previous two homicides, so it is not surprising that the deceased's stomach was not cut. Second, the murderer in this case is the same as the murderer in the previous two murders, but because someone around may have seen the murderer, or the murderer thought that someone would come here soon, he could only be forced to leave early, and he had no time to cut the stomach of the deceased. ”
When Wang Ziyang finished speaking, the man was already embarrassed, but before he could "escape", a police officer squeezed through the crowd, came to everyone, and said:
"Oh no, in Bishop's Square, another female corpse was found. ”
Hearing this, everyone had no time to praise the prince, so they returned to the carriage and prepared to rush to the next murder site.
Before leaving, Wang Ziyang did not forget to ask Inspector Lestrade to send someone to bring the body back for autopsy, and then give him an autopsy report and the relationship between the deceased.
After the explanation, Wang Ziyan did not return to his carriage, but came to Mr. Conan Doyle's carriage.
"Can I ride in the same carriage with you?" asked Prince Young Conan Doyle, who was sitting in the car.
"Of course you can, don't be modest, I'm afraid that there are not many people in this world who can do that reasoning just now. Mr. Conan Doyle said kindly.
After obtaining permission, Prince Young got into the carriage and sat down opposite Conan Doyle, and said:
"I love your Sherlock Holmes book, so I think you'll be able to solve the case just like Sherlock Holmes. ”
"Oh, in my opinion, you're Sherlock Holmes, and I'm a lot worse than you. ”
"And what kind of person do you think the murderer should be?"
"I said that last afternoon. Oh, I forgot you weren't with us at the police station yesterday afternoon.
I think that Jack the Ripper should be a female midwife, because this identity is more trusted by the victim, and after the crime, when she is covered in blood, she can be dismissed from suspicion and not attract attention. Of course, these are my personal inferences. ”
"Then how can you subdue another woman with the strength of another woman?"
"Women are also strong people. ”
"But your explanation is a bit far-fetched. ”
"What about you?"
"At the moment, I think there are so many people who could be murderers that you can't even rule out suspicion, of course I'm just kidding. ”
"Oh, you even doubt me, so what is your basis?"
"Based on these three cases, we can infer that the murderer had a certain amount of medical knowledge, otherwise he would not have been able to remove the organs of the deceased at night, when there was no light or the light was very poor. ”
"That's right. ”
Secondly, the murderer also has a strong psychological quality, which allows him to commit crimes in a row outdoors, even when he may be found at any time. It is even said that the murderer may have some mental illness"
"That's true. ”
"Well, I feel that you meet the characteristics of many murderers. You have 5 years of rigorous formal medical education, you have a wealth of anatomical knowledge, and you are good at crime analysis, so you understand the psychology of victims and the police. ”
"Yes. ”
"As far as I know, you are a bold and careful person, and you are very calm. Moreover, in your novel, there are two opposing characters, Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty, but they both share the same characteristics: high IQ and calmness. Can we assume that you are describing yourself, calm and high IQ are your main themes, but you may usually be a positive character like Sherlock Holmes, but you also have this dark side of yourself, which is what Moriarty represents. ”
"There is some truth. ”
Other than that, Moriarty is a top criminal who thinks he can control all of London, but he is an amiable professor to others who don't know him. Moreover, as a participant in this case, and you have a high social status, your reasoning must be considered by the police, and at this time, you say that the murderer may be a woman's reasoning, precisely to muddy the waters so that you can continue to commit the crime. ”
"Wonderful reasoning, after listening to your reasoning, I even felt for a moment that I was really a murderer. ”
"It's all a joke, don't take it seriously. Wang Ziyang said with a smile.
"Yo, when we get to the place, let's go check the scene first, and then we can continue to talk when we have a chance. As he spoke, Wang Ziyang poked his head out and prepared to get out of the car.
"Let's go, don't send it. Mr. Conan Doyle said with a smile.
"Judging from the look and conversation he had when I lied to him, he shouldn't be a murderer, and his reasoning is really full of loopholes, so what clues can he give me?" Wang Ziyang thought as he walked over to the corpse.
