Chapter 95: The Crazy Ripper (9)
When the carriages in front of them stopped, and the detectives and detectives inside rushed to the corpse, Wang Ziyang was indeed unhurriedly waiting for the arrival of the police officer who had come to report the news.
The officer had just gotten out of the car and was about to rush to the front like the detectives in front of him, but a hand grabbed him from behind.
The police officer stumbled and was about to curse, only to find that it was the famous Prince Yang who was holding him behind him. Because this police officer is a local police officer in London, he has also seen "Prince Young" help Inspector Lestrade solve the case before, so he didn't have a seizure.
"Mr. Policeman, don't panic to the corpse first, you can tell me about the situation before and after the report. Wang Ziyang said by the officer's arm.
"The body was found when I was on patrol with my colleagues, because the murderers of prostitutes have been so rampant lately, so we patrol every 15 minutes. When we passed by at half-past one o'clock, nothing unusual happened, but when we passed by again at one forty-five o'clock, we found the dead man lying in Bishop's Square.
After we found the body, I immediately went to a nearby hotel to call the headquarters to report, only to find that there was another homicide not far away, most of the police and detectives went there, so I asked the police department to send some of the remaining police force over, and asked my two colleagues to guard the body first, so that the people would not get close, and I would go to you alone to report the news. ”
That is, the deceased must have been killed between 1:30 and 1:45. Is there anything else abnormal?" Wang Ziyang and the police officers walked towards the corpse, and Wang Ziyang looked around at the onlookers. Because two murders occurred at the same time in one night, it was somewhat difficult to dispatch the police force at the police station, and a large number of police forces were on their way, so that dozens of people heard the noise outside, walked out of their homes, and surrounded the place.
Wang Ziyang glanced at the crowd of onlookers, and actually saw a few nobles, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, the commoners came with the mentality of eating melons, why do you nobles have to get up in the middle of the night to join in the fun?
"Actually, there's something a little weird. The officer said again.
"When I went to the hotel to report to the police, I saw a dark red coat in the corner of the wall a few blocks away, and there seemed to be a line of small white letters on the corner. But because he was in a hurry, he didn't stop long. ”
"Dark red coat?!That was most likely left by the murderer, dark red is not the color of the coat, but the color of blood. Take me quickly!" Wang Ziyang suddenly shouted loudly.
"What about the corpse, aren't you going to check it?" asked the officer, confused.
"It's enough to have Watson go and check it, now take me to the place where the clothes were discarded, it won't be good if someone picks them up!" Wang Ziyang pulled the police officer and began to run.
The police officer deserved to be a police officer, and he overtook Wang Ziyang in an instant and ran in front of him, Wang Ziyang could only be forced to shout:
"Why are you running so far, get in the car and lead the way!"
"Oh oh, sorry forgot. ”
Of course, the movement of the two alarmed the onlookers and the inspectors, who had just begun to examine the corpses. Seeing that Wang Ziyang and the police were about to leave after getting into the carriage, Watson didn't think about it and was about to run to Wang Ziyang, but fortunately he was stopped by Inspector Lestrade. The inspector said to Watson:
"Wang Ziyang must have found some important clues so he left in a hurry, but the corpse here can also give many important clues. You are a doctor, you are better than me in autopsy, and you are better at reasoning and finding details than me, so you stay here to continue the autopsy, and I will take someone to support Wang Ziyang. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Inspector Lestrade called two police officers to rush with him to the nearest carriage to support Wang Ziyang. Watson also calmed down when he heard this, turned around and squatted down, and continued to examine the body. As for the others, it was the two Inspectors who followed Lestrade with their men, leaving only the man who had laughed at Prince Young to remain here for the autopsy, and since Mr. Conan Doyle was also a doctor, he also chose to stay for the autopsy.
As the carriage had turned a few blocks, a dark red garment appeared in the corner in the moonlight. When Wang Ziyang turned over and got out of the carriage and came to the corner of the wall, he found that the dress was not an overcoat, but a lady's apron, but the original beige apron was stained with blood, and it turned dark red under the moonlight. After inspecting the blood-colored apron, Wang Ziyang raised his head again and studied the writing on the wall.
The font on the wall is a bit ugly, but it seems to have been seen again, and it is somewhat similar to the text on the previous four letters. The wall reads, "Jews are not to be condemned for anything." ”
When Wang Ziyan stood up, Inspector Lestrade and others also rushed here, and at the same time, some onlookers also shifted their positions and came here to watch strongly.
"What's going on?" asked Inspector Lestrade as he approached Prince Young.
Wang Ziyang didn't speak, just pointed to the blood-red apron in the corner and the white letters on the wall.
Inspector Lestrade hurriedly walked into the observation apron, then picked it up with a white glove and handed it to the police officer behind him who kept the evidence.
What does it mean that "Jews are not to be condemned for anything?"
It means that the murderer is a Jew or a racist. At this time, a gentleman of about forty or fifty years of age, dressed formally and with a kind face, Wang Ziyang remembered, was one of the nobles who had just appeared at the corpse to watch.
"Civilians should not interfere with the police's handling of the case, and please step away. Inspector Lestrade said coldly.
"It's okay, he's right, if these words were really left by the murderer, then there's a good chance that the killer was a racist. After saying to Inspector Lestrade, Prince Young turned to look at the gentleman in front of him, and asked:
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"I'm a college teacher, just call me James. Recently, I have been watching the newspapers report on how murderous this so-called 'Jack the Ripper' is, but I didn't expect to come home from work in the office today and really witness a brutal murder. ”
While listening to James's answer, Wang Ziyang summarized James's identity information in his mind.
"There were some ink stains stuck to the cuffs that hadn't completely dried, indicating that the person had just written something. The small bag in front of his chest did not contain a handkerchief, but a small notebook and a pen that had been used for many years, and it seemed that he was not lying about his education.
The hand is a little rough, and the front of the middle finger has a thick callus due to the perennial writing.
Well, I have two rings on my hand, one for men and one for women, and the one for women is slightly smaller, and she just wore it. ”
"Why do you have a female ring on your right hand?" Prince Yang asked coldly.
"That's what you say. As he spoke, James raised his right hand, showing some sadness, and said:
"My wife passed away just a few days ago, and in her honor, I put the engagement ring I gave her on my right hand, and when I saw it, I felt as if she hadn't left me, she was still with me. ”
"I'm sorry, but please mourn. ”
"It's okay, students often ask me why I wear a women's ring, I'm used to it. ”
While the two were chatting, the other two detectives also arrived.
"What about the writing on the wall?" asked Inspector Lestrade to Prince Young.
Before Wang Ziyang could speak, James spoke:
"I think it's better to wipe it off while no one sees it. The church district was inhabited by a large number of Jews, and if it were seen by the journalists and Jews at dawn, it could incite racial theories and lead to social unrest. ”
When Inspector Lestrade looked at Wang Ziyang again, Wang Ziyang just opened his mouth and did not speak.
"What are you hesitating about, this gentleman has a point, and quickly erase these words when not many people see them. As he spoke, the detective wiped out the first few letters with a wipe.
"Wait ......" Before Inspector Lestrade could finish speaking, Wang Ziyang grabbed him, shook his head, and said:
"It's all been wiped away, and there is some truth in what James said. ”
After that, James took off his hat and saluted, and said to Wang Ziyang:
"It looks like there won't be anything else going on today, so I'll leave first, and I have class tomorrow morning. I wish you a speedy arrest of the murderer. With that, James turned and left.
"Inspector, the two murder scenes today are so close together and, according to the officers, it took between half past one and one forty-five to commit the murder in Whitechapel. According to the murderer's usual arrogant and domineering style, it is very likely that he will return here again after he has lost this blood-colored apron, mingling with the onlookers. You jot down these people and go back and check them out to see if they have the characteristics of Jack the Ripper. After the information is collected, I will send me a copy of the deceased information this time and send it to 221B Baker Street, and it is estimated that the suspect will be locked up this time. ”
After looking around for a week, Wang Ziyang hitchhiked back to the scene of the crime, ready to listen to Watson's analysis.
When Wang Ziyang came to the corpse and saw the appearance of the corpse, he couldn't help frowning.
Seeing that Prince Yang was coming, Watson began to report.
"This time the murderer committed the crime extremely cruelly, and the deceased cut it like a pig in the market. Her throat was sliced to the spine, and the knife left deep marks on her backbone.
Catherine's face was completely disfigured, the tip of her nose had been cut off, her eyelids and one ear were slashed, and her cheeks were cut with triangular sections.
The face was so mutilated that it was impossible to identify the deceased based on public records, and it was only a pawn ticket found in Catherine's pocket that determined that the deceased's name was Catherine.
Catherine's facial wounds had been inflicted by random slashing for at least five minutes, and she had a long stab wound to her abdomen that went down from her sternum all the way down to her pelvis. In addition, the deceased's sub-go
G and the left kidney were also removed by the killer. ”
Hearing such a horrific technique, the people present couldn't help but gasp.
Wang Ziyan did not speak, but returned to the carriage with a cold face, and sat alone in the carriage thinking, until Watson returned to the carriage, and he called the coachman to take the two back to 221B Baker Street.
