A sentence flashed in Zhou Daoan's mind.

"Inspiration is the most precious gift God has given us...... Sometimes I rely on inspiration to solve cases......"

With this sentence, there is also the image of a person, which is very clear, and then blurred, and gradually coincides with the image of a film and television drama in Zhou Daoan's previous life in the depths of his memory - although the images of the two do not fit.

"The man who painted...... What does that strip look like? ”

The rat-bearded man listened, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Looks more beautiful than you!" It's too beautiful to talk about, like a woman! ”

Zhou Daoan bowed his head, indicating that he understood. The rat-bearded man added, "You're going to trouble him?" Do you know the rules? Don't reveal that I told you! Otherwise, I won't be able to ...... to mess with after three cannons."

"No, I didn't have a holiday with him. As you said, he is not only the head of the strip, but also the head of the strip, how can I fight with the official? Thank you for telling me this. Zhou Daoan smiled, and then seemingly casually flipped to the last of the stack of portraits in his hand.

On the yellowish rice paper, there is still a sketch of a portrait drawn with charcoal. The man in the painting is a man in his twenties and thirties, his cheekbones are slightly high, but his cheeks are deeply sunken, and the contrast is extremely striking. The sideburns on the temples are connected to the beard, and there is a long mustache on the lips.

His hair was already thinning, his hairline was high, the top of his head was thinly covered, and a faint line appeared on his forehead. Young and old, these two completely different styles are fully expressed by this painting, which shows that the painting has done a great job.

And this man's sunken eye sockets, high nose, and hair color outlined in black charcoal clearly show that this man is a Semitic tribe!

The most important thing is that although the eyes of the man in this portrait are looking obliquely at the upper right, and he does not "look at each other" with the person looking at the painting, the man's gloomy eyes and the depression between his eyebrows can make the viewer feel an unconscious fear.

Under the portrait of the person, there is also a line of scribbled small words - suspicion!

Needless to say, this means that the painter saw six human faces in the process of "taking drugs", and the last of them was the suspect!

Although Zhou Daoan looked at the painting, he had already set off a monstrous wave in his heart!

The man on this portrait is seven or eight points similar to the simulated portrait of the later life that he saw when he searched for "Jack the Ripper"! It's like copying a picture from the Internet! I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, in short, it makes Zhou Daoan look like a world away.

After being silent for a few seconds, Zhou Daoan suppressed the thoughts in his heart, raised his head casually, and put the stack of portraits back on the rat-bearded man's desk.

Then, he took a small bottle brought by the old man of the Naluo pot, put it in his pocket, and then said goodbye - this time the unexpected harvest is enough, Zhou Daoan needs to digest it well.

Regarding Jack the Ripper, on the earth where Zhou Daoan was originally born, researchers do not know how many, but there is still no conclusion. As for the suspects of the Ripper, there is also a long list of them. It was this case that could not be solved for more than 100 years in later generations, and it became the "world's first unsolved case".

There are many film and television dramas adapted from the story of Jack the Ripper in later generations, and even the anime - the protagonist is a little boy who never grows up and dies wherever he goes - also has a theatrical version of the Ripper Jack conjecture. In addition, there are several movies, which also impressed Zhou Daoan.

One of them, named after a letter from the Ripper - from hell, is played by the famous Hollywood actor Johnny Depp. Because of the age of this film, Johnny was still in the era of proper beauty and fresh meat when he played it, and he did not enter the later captain's weird style...... Therefore, although Zhou Daoan remembers some of the plots and pictures of this film, he has forgotten the name of the protagonist a little.

Originally, the name was not the point, and if you forget it, you will forget it. The point is that the protagonist in that movie (let's refer to it by the actor's name) has a very peculiar ability, which is "foresight"! He can inject "drugs" to allow himself to see something that will happen in the future when he is "high", or a fragment hidden in the shadows. It is with this ability that the protagonist finally finds the key to solving the case!

The portraits in front of me, according to the description of the rat-whiskered man, are exactly the same as the ability of the male protagonist in that movie! And it seems to be even more powerful, and it can actually make the "foreseeing" person directly draw the portrait of the suspect!

Moreover, although the appearance of this painter is quite different from Johnny's version of the male protagonist - the former has a beautiful style, and the latter has a handsome style, but in the dark, he has the same name:

Fred Ebolin! Yes, that's the name! When Zhou Daoan connected the two, the name of the male protagonist of the movie, which was originally buried in the ash heap of memory, also emerged, and finally coincided with the name of the current temporary person in charge of the police station!

All along, although Zhou Daoan passively accepted the adventures that happened to him, he also conscientiously completed the task of the ark. But he never gave up exploring the secrets of the Ark! What is the basis for these tasks given by the Ark? Is there a logical connection? Or is it haphazard? Similarly, what is the background of the world behind these missions? Was it created out of thin air? Or is it based on reality and adapted virtual? Or is it true and objective?

Fred Ebolin, who has the same name and similar "natural skills", from this point of view, it seems that there are traces of adaptation in the mission world of the Ark. But the place name and setting of this world are different from the real London! Why is that? If it's a magic change, wouldn't it be better to just apply the name of reality?

All right! It seems that the current Zhou Daoan is still not "graded" enough, and he knows too little information to spy on any trace of the truth. However, for the current foggy world, he is sure of one thing-

Sir Fred Ebolin, this lame youth, really has the ability to transcend reality! Perhaps, in this world, with Fred who can "foresee", it is really possible to catch the ripper!

But what role can you play in it? Zhou Daoan couldn't help but think of his task again. In the series of tasks given by the Ark, task one he managed to maintain the state of "meeting the standard", and task 2 still owed the police "recognition" or "favor". Therefore, Zhou Daoan's mind is a little active again.

Thinking along the way, Zhou Daoan had already walked out of this alley and returned to the corner of Chinatown.

No sooner had he looked at it than Dr. William walked briskly from under one of the eaves on the side of the road.

"Did it go well?" Dr. William asked with concern.

Zhou Daoan nodded, "I got the medicine, but the price is very high......," he said, and he took out the small glass bottle from his coat pocket. In the transparent bottle, there is a little bit of powder shaped like white flour.

Dr. William took it, looked closer, estimated the weight of this powder, shook his head slightly, and didn't say anything, just put it in his pocket.

The two got back into the carriage and returned to the cheap clinic. On the way, the sky gradually darkened, as if a heavy rain was brewing. Finally, before they could get out of the carriage and step through the gate, huge raindrops fell! In an instant, it became a curtain of rain.

In the clinic, today's "business" does not seem to be very good, and there is not a single patient.

Mrs. William just sat in front of the window, holding her head in a daze. It wasn't until Dr. William came in that she came to her senses, walked briskly forward, took Dr. William's toolbox as usual, and helped him take off his thin coat and place it in the crook of her arm.

"This dress is a little old, you see, the elbows are all fibre from you—you keep rolling up your sleeves when it's hot, right? The weather, in September, has not completely cooled down. ”

Mrs. William was chatting with each other, and Dr. William may have just finished talking about a lot of things on his mind today, so he also seemed absent-minded, and he didn't respond to them. The husband and wife maintain this strange harmony.

Zhou Daoan was also idle, he pondered the task in his heart, picked up a medical book in his hand and flipped it up. And just like that, time passed in the raindrops.

Since Lilith has returned to the country, there is no one to cook the meals and no one to take care of the chores. Mrs. William did not care about anything except Dr. William and her own clothes, which would be washed herself. When it was time for the meal, Mrs. William directly stuffed Zhou Daoan with a shilling and asked him to go to the deli on the street to buy some food.

Zhou Daoan knows that the clinic is still unable to make ends meet, and it is all supported by Dr. William's "extra money". Now he doesn't have abortions anymore, and the recent small coffers are rapidly decreasing. But he would not tell Mrs. William all this, so Mrs. William still did not notice it, and spent the money without moderation.

Zhou Daoan took the money, walked out of the door with an umbrella, and came to the street. When buying cooked food, he hesitated a little and chose a combination of vegetable cake and oxtail tomato soup. Vegetable cakes are no more expensive than white bread, and oxtail soup has no meat at all, just a bit of beef, which is a typical poor meal.

Although that shilling was enough to buy a meal with meat and vegetables, Zhou Daoan still chose to save money for the owner - if Dr. William went bankrupt, his job would be gone! He didn't want to lose his job before he was halfway through his mission! Therefore, he decided to take charge of the food in the clinic himself from tomorrow - in this era, cooking by himself must be cheaper than buying one.

When he returned to the clinic with a paper bag full of food, he heard Mrs. William's cheerful laughter, and Dr. William's words were filled with joy.
