This was just a blink of an eye, but it made Luo Guo (hunchback) who led the way in front of him raise his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised by the self-control of this young man.

But he still didn't say a word, just silently led the way. In the room, he swam through the narrow hallway and came to the innermost room.

Luo Guo stepped forward and knocked on the door of the room, and soon, there was a sound of "enter" from inside!

The character is spoken in Chinese, but the accent is a bit more Cantonese.

Luo Guo directly pushed the door open, and then "please" with his hand, signaling Zhou Daoan to go in.

Walking into this room, the light finally brightened a lot, but it was not the natural light that the sunlight brought in, but the room was equipped with a huge light bulb, hanging from the roof, illuminating the room in detail.

A middle-aged man with half-bald hair and loose hair and two sparse whiskers of rat whiskers sits behind a large rosewood desk with a leopard skin rug underneath. The table was filled with all kinds of utensils, including smoking guns, cigarette bubbles, test tube beakers, alcohol lamps, and syringes......

His face was very ugly, and he didn't look at Zhou Daoan, so he muttered to himself: "You really can't save money...... The technique of the white-skinned pig is good, and if you lose your mother, I won't believe it......"

The words were said quickly and quietly, and Zhou Daoan only heard a few words.

Then, the ugly-looking middle-aged man raised his head, looked at Zhou Daoan, and said directly in Cantonese:

"Knight asked you to come? Let you pick up the goods? ”

Luo Guo behind him was about to translate in English, Zhou Daoan waved his hand directly, signaling not to, and then replied in Cantonese (in his previous life, Zhou Daoan lived in SZ City, Guangdong Province, and Cantonese was also a compulsory course):

"I'm not Dr. Knight's guy, it's just that he introduced me here to buy medicine."

"Lose, bashing the white pig! That's all I have here, he can't move what he wants, the rest is not enough to sell, and he has to take a lot of away, what can I give you? Fighting on the street, out of technology, I will suffer a big loss! I can't help it......"

The middle-aged man with rat whiskers was a little annoyed, grabbed a handful of hair, and spoke half to himself, but there was no substantial violence. Then he stretched out his palm, crossed his fingers and counted for a while before he said impatiently to Zhou Daoan:

"Can't give you too much! Otherwise, there will be problems with my supply here, and my reputation cannot be destroyed! Boy, you're unlucky, you just had a note to collect a lot of goods! So 1 pound and 1 gram will give you a maximum of 5 grams! If you want it, if you don't want it, you won't bargain! ”

Zhou Daoan has no objections, anyway, he is just an errand runner. So he took out from his pocket the three gold pounds that Dr. William had given him—according to Dr. William, these three gold pounds were enough to buy five grams of goods, but the rat-bearded man temporarily increased the price, and complained that whether it was true or not, there was certainly no room for bargaining. So Zhou Daoan didn't talk nonsense, he directly put out three big coins, stepped forward and put them on the rosewood table of the rat-bearded man.

"Three pounds? Then you'll get three grams! Lao Jie, go get the goods for this posterior! I don't know if I saw the money, the rat-bearded man's temper has improved, and the "boy" has become a "posterior".

However, just when the deal had been reached, the rat-bearded man raised his head again, and glanced at Zhou Daoan casually, but suddenly squinted-

Originally, Zhou Daoan was standing a little away from him, and he was wearing a hexagonal wide hat, which somewhat covered his face. This approached the rat-whiskered man, and under the light, the rat-whiskered man could clearly see Zhou Daoan's face.

"Wait!" The rat-bearded man stretched out his hand like lightning, and grabbed Zhou Daoan's hand that handed over the money - this rat-bearded man is extremely fast, and sure enough, like the Luo Guo man behind him, he has kung fu.

Zhou Daoan didn't dodge for a while, and subconsciously his scalp tightened, and he was about to attack. But then he immediately calmed down, because although the rat-bearded man's pair of "chicken feet" buckled Zhou Daoan's wrist like an iron hoop, he did not exert force, and although his skin was a little painful, it did not hurt his bones. It can be seen that this man has no intention of threatening his personal safety!

The rat beard man and the Luo Guo man behind him, I don't know how much the kung fu of these two people is, although Zhou Daoan has life-saving skills, but if he can not use it, of course he will not use it! Since the other party hasn't completely turned his face, you might as well listen to what he has to say first.

I saw that the rat-bearded man suddenly stood up from the chair (Chinese) next to Huanghuali's desk (Western-style), half-bent over, approached Zhou Daoan's face, looked at it for a while, and then opened his mouth to call the Naluo pot man:

"Lao Jie, come and see, is this posterior boy very similar to the portrait left by the strip just now?"

Luo Guonan was silent, walked directly to the rat-bearded man's desk, took out several sheets of pad paper from a large pile of utensils, and unfolded them one by one. Zhou Daoan peeked and found that on this piece of rice paper, they were all sketches of charcoal drawings, and from the perspective of line modeling, they were very skillful.

The first few are all women's faces, and at the beginning of the fourth, it is Zhou Daoan's face. The eyes and nose, including the frozen looks, are all vivid! Although there are only a few brushstrokes, it is obvious that this painting is Zhou Daoan!

Why is your portrait here? This is my first time here!

There are still a few portraits in Luo Guonan's hand, but since he turned to Zhou Daoan's one, he didn't continue to look back. Holding the portrait and comparing it to Zhou Daoan's appearance, soon, Luo Guonan also confirmed that the person on the portrait was Zhou Daoan.

"Hah! The strip that hit the street was not scribbled, and I thought he was just an artist! Old Jie, I'm suddenly a little curious about him now! ”

After saying this, the rat-bearded man actually let go of Zhou Daoan, and then waved his hand, ready to continue trading.

But Zhou Daoan is now full of doubts, and he naturally won't let go of this matter easily. So he asked very dryly:

"Excuse me, why is there my portrait here?"

"Oh, Hou Shengzi, I haven't fully figured this out yet! The portrait must have been left by someone else, and he didn't want it anyway, I was only going to use it as waste paper! I didn't expect you to come on the back foot, so I will see you familiar! If you come a few days late, I can't get rid of the portrait, where will I remember you! Relax, relax, no big deal! ”

Obviously, the rat-bearded man didn't want to talk about it more.

Zhou Daoan didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out the remaining change from his body, about six or seven shillings, and piled it directly on the table of the rat-bearded man.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Buy Messages? I'll tell you, there's no secret here! If you want to know, I'm afraid you'll regret it! The Rat Man said, fiddling with the coins on the table.

"Could you please tell me about it...... Also, can I take a look at these portraits? ”

The rat-bearded man thought for a moment, and suddenly pulled all the money on the table into his drawer, and said in a low voice:

"I see that you are also Oriental Chinese, and you were introduced by Knight, so it is inevitable that you will do a few more orders of business in the future...... I'm very righteous towards my partner! Well, I'll tell you! It's not a big deal anyway...... Just now—before you came, a note came to me and tried the new medicine that Knight had invented. Knight introduced you, you should know that I am only responsible for the production of this drug, but the production is very limited! Knight has to take some of it himself, and I only have a small amount to sell it......

"Although he is a strip, he is not here to make trouble. Since he wants to suck, of course I won't refuse! When he gave him the medicine, he immediately went into his room and got a needle. Soon, he's hilarious!

Then he began to ask for paper, and threw it! At first, I thought he wanted a large size, and gave him a few pieces of straw paper, who knew he was using it to draw...... He's drawing fast! It's the first time I've seen someone draw while taking drugs, and it's pretty good! But I thought he was just a character who came up out of thin air with a hallucination when he was high, but I didn't expect you to come, and I knew that this person actually drew real people!

"Of course, I'm also curious, and when he gets over, I'll ask him! He didn't stop answering, he just said that he was going to use this method to solve the case! I lost it, of course I didn't believe it! But he is an official, and we are the people! I can't find out if it's tied or not! However, now it seems that he is really a bit of a Taoist! Hey, do you know anything? If you want to know, you can tell me, I'm also curious! ”

Zhou Daoan couldn't help frowning when he heard Rory's rambling narration. He didn't answer, just picked up the stack of rice paper and looked through it.

At the first glance, his pupils contracted suddenly.

The first portrait is a middle-aged woman, who is the first woman to die in the Ripper case - Lisa! The second, unsurprisingly, is the second victim - Marlene. The third one, of course, is Anne Chaprey, who was killed a few days ago.

The fourth is a portrait of Zhou Daoan himself, and the fifth is Dr. William.

These pictures are all characters related to the Ripper case! Needless to say, the three victims were once suspects......

Zhou Daoan immediately noticed that on these papers, in addition to the simple and expressive portraits, there were also a few simple words written in charcoal.

The word "death" appears on the first three portraits of the victims.

"Exclude" is written on the portrait of himself and Dr. William, the difference is that in addition to the "exclusion" of Dr. William's portrait, there is a small exclamation mark!

Exclude? Zhou Daoan's first reaction was to "eliminate suspicion", and the meaning of the exclamation mark could not be speculated. Combined with what the rat-bearded man said before, these portraits were drawn by a "strip" after taking the drug, and it was also said that they were used to solve the case......

These clues originally appeared messily, but under this portrait, they were caught together by an invisible hand! Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Zhou Daoan's mind.
