"Can anyone give me some information! Give me some TMD information about the victims! Haven't you found out yet? As soon as Inspector Harold spoke, he showed that he was in a pretty bad mood.

"Here ......" As Harold shouted angrily, a police officer dressed as a patrolman held on to his helmet and hurriedly came to Harold with an elderly man dressed as a coachman and a man who was equally old in pajamas, and heard him say—

"The body was found by him, and according to him, the place where the woman died, was in the backyard of his cheap apartment......"

The patrol officer pointed to the scene of the crime, which is No. 29 Hamberning Street, which is the so-called second half of the apartments, which are all older buildings and are also low-cost apartments. People here tend to live in a small house with a few people, such as the old coachman in front of him, who rents it with two of his peers. These three coachmen, they jointly purchased a carriage, and the three of them also agreed to drive the carriage in different periods to make money, which is a characteristic of this era, and the nature of two or three drivers in later generations to charter a taxi.

It just so happened that although the body was found by the old coachman who happened to be on the night shift, one of his "roommates" and also his colleague happened to know the "elderly" woman who sold herself, so after being awakened in the middle of the night, he recognized the victim as soon as possible.

"Anne Chapry, yes, that's the name. Why do I remember it so clearly...... Because this lady was all the rage in the East End for a while—yes, yes, she was a hot beauty more than twenty years ago, and she rode in my carriage...... After that, it disappeared for about seven or eight years! I heard that he married to another city - it is rare for someone in this business to find a city man to marry. I don't know if it's because people in other cities don't know about this side of things, but in short, she disappeared like a 'star retirement'......"

But one day, she reappeared in the old place, still doing her old job. Listening to other people's discussions, it seems that she has been abandoned by her man, child...... I don't know if there is, anyway, at this age, if she comes out to work again, the business will not be the same as before. You see, in the past, it was someone else who invited her, and she had to pick a guest. But now, even I can take care of her business, but ...... You know, when I'm older, it feels completely different from when I was younger, and I don't need to spend money to make my dreams come true—there are completely younger ...... at the same price."

"Oh, what ethnicity she is, you ask? Yes, that's right, she's a Semite, and a Semitic beauty—at least when she's younger. This status wouldn't be particularly desirable if it wasn't particularly beautiful...... But there's something wrong with the hair color, it should be that her hair is a lot whiter now, so it's dyed brown and red......"

The coachman, who knew the victim, was very chatty, and his speech was also in a strong local accent. However, no one dislikes these anymore, and the key information in his words has clearly revealed the characteristics of the victim-

The same Semites, the same elderly, the same pregnant or pregnant...... is still in line with Zhou Daoan's inference - this is the prey that the ripper likes. But in the same way, the suspicion of "Dr. Thomas" was completely denied.

Because when the prostitution named Anne was killed, Dr. William was well in the police station - this is the strongest alibi. As for whether Dr. William committed the crime in advance and was then arrested? Obviously impossible, at that time, all the police officers were on this street, and they would never be unaware of any movement. No matter how early it is, there will still be pedestrians on this street, and it is impossible to commit a crime.

Of course, the good news is that Zhou Daoan's own suspicion has also been ruled out......

Subsequently, the forensic doctor also arrived in a hurry, and after some examination, he came to a conclusion that was even more unacceptable to the police force:

The deceased must have called for help before he died, because there were traces of running a few steps - one of the shoes had run off, not far away; There were bruises on his throat and mouth, and he should have been covered and strangled until he was suffocated and unconscious, and then he was put to the ground by the murderer.

The killer then turned to the front of the victim and cut his throat with a knife.

What does this mean? Explain that the earlier police action - the arrest of "Dr. Thomas", not only did not find out the murderer, but gave the murderer the best opportunity to commit the crime!

As a result of this operation, Inspector Harold mobilized almost all of the police force in the area to arrest the suspect, and the attention of the entire police force was focused on the first half of Hamberning Street. As for the second half, it is ignored...... It's about dark under the lights.

Half a street away, and the real murderer is missed. Even, the murderer may have been secretly watching these policemen go about their work.

Then, with the "success" of the arrest operation, all the police officers withdrew from Hamberning Street and returned to the police station. After escorting Dr. William into the inquiry room, Inspector Harold took a break to reassign his duties and return the patrol officers to their normal duties.

And for fear of startling the grass, Inspector Harold even asked the patrolmen of other districts not to approach this street when they were moving, so as to create a relaxed environment, causing the patrolmen of other districts to avoid Hamberning Street far away tonight...... By the time the patrolmen returned to their posts, a gap of nearly two hours had been created. This undoubtedly gave the murderer an opportunity. So much so that the deceased once called for help briefly, but did not receive the help they deserved, and did not even attract any attention (in the early hours of the morning, the nearby residents were sleeping again, and a few short cries for help did not make any ripples at all).

Knowing this, everyone's emotions hit rock bottom.

"Let's close the team......" When he spoke again, Inspector Harold's hoarse voice startled everyone, but then they all understood how helpless the anxious detective was at the moment.

"Before it's quite dawn, take the corpse away! Don't cause panic among the people. Other than that...... Report it for real! ”

After Inspector Harold finished speaking, he turned and got into the carriage without looking back.

Everyone who returned to the police station fell into a silent situation. Inspector Harold locked himself in his office, while Frank hung his head and lost interest in the breakfast brought by the police department's support staff.

Zhou Daoan sighed inwardly, he also knew that although this operation did not expect to catch the murderer at once, people's hearts will always change with time and the difficulty of the task increases, and the subconscious will infinitely magnify the expectation. Once it falls short, this gap is unacceptable.

Taking a step back, even if the capture of Dr. Thomas did not give them any practical benefit, the fact that the real murderer jumped out and committed the crime again in a playful way is undoubtedly the heaviest blow that destroys the psychological defense of the police.

I guess I can't count on my own mission...... At least until the real murderer is caught, even if the detective does not blame himself from a rational point of view, it is impossible to improve his favor and achieve recognition.

Next, will they let themselves "come up with a plan" to catch the ripper? Zhou Daoan himself is not sure, even if he has some information that he has in advance in later generations, not to mention that his own mission time limit is only more than 90 days, and the time when the ripper seems to commit the crime in Wudu will only last until early November, and then he will disappear without a trace, making this case a famous unsolved case. In other words, the murderer does not have much time left for the person to solve the case - this is not a modern society, where various information and technological means work together to solve the case, and the efficiency is greatly improved. In this era, there is no fingerprint verification, no DNA identification...... Just relying on some preconceived information? I really underestimated this fog ripper.

In addition, Zhou Daoan's first task here is to find a job for himself to settle down, and the second is to gain recognition from all sides. These missions are all directed towards "survival", not solving crimes. If Zhou Daoan has to spend a lot of time in order to solve the case, what about his work? You can't stay on leave or join the police all the time, right?

Oh yes! Now that Dr. William has also been arrested, even if he is not the murderer, the illegal abortion alone is enough for the old man. Will his clinic still be able to open? Is it the person who caught the employer with his own hands, and still has the opportunity to continue working?

Thinking of this, Zhou Daoan couldn't help but be big. In order to complete task two, gain the favor of the police, and clear his suspicions, he threw himself into the case at once. In addition to the mission instructions, in fact, there is also a little bit of desire for him to "uncover the unsolved case of the century". For these reasons, he seems to be passive, but in fact actively participates.

And now it seems that this kind of "dedication" of his will lead to the failure of his mission.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dao was shocked! On the second mission, he is no longer a "novice", but he is still a rookie! But due to the success of the first mission, and after I arrived in this world, everything went well, so that I somewhat ignored the identity of the "ferryman".

The essence of this identity is to survive the tasks given by the Ark and complete the missions. Everything else, it's just a feeder. If you do a good job, you may be rewarded, but if you don't do it well, it is nothing more than a mediocre income. But once the main task fails...... Zhou Daoan could already abstract the cold system prompt sound in his mind-

"Failed task, punish accordingly......"

Almost put the cart before the horse!

Fortunately, only about a quarter of the way through the mission, there is still room for adjustment! This reflection could not have come at a better time!

But at the same time that Zhou Daoan was secretly reflecting, the police station suddenly became lively - not because the sun was rising, the city was busy again, and the police had to start "serving the people". It's because a large group of uninvited guests surrounded the eastern district of the foggy capital, St. Mary's Cathedral area, and even blocked the gate of the police station.
