The crisp sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the midnight.

There are few people on the streets, and most of them are part-time workers, walking in a hurry and with a heavy tiredness. And this carriage roared past, which also made the passers-by on these streets frightened!

However, seeing the bright badge on the carriage, these people settled down again - the Royal Police must have happened again! But it's not surprising, after all, this is the East End......

But a carriage can only seat four people, and it seems that the case is not so big, is it necessary to be in such a hurry - people slander.

Only the people in the carriage knew how anxious their hearts were. Fred—at the moment, even on a late summer night, was by no means cool—draped in a blanket and shivered from time to time, and the more bloody the scene he felt, the worse the after-effects he foresaw.

But he did not hesitate to refuse the opportunity to stay, insisting on going with him. According to his own words, in retrospect, he always felt that the picture he foresaw was a little wrong...... But he couldn't state what was wrong, so he had to go with him to see if he could find clues at the scene.

Zhou Daoan didn't have the heart to laugh at Fred's "worrying about his life", in fact, his heart was still messed up - he was a ferryman, shuttling through various different worlds, completing one task after another, and it stands to reason that his position is a passerby.

However, staying for a long time and getting along with the characters of this world - if these characters are NPCs, they are also the same existence as real people - between this reality, you will be affected by these characters and give emotions. Unless you are the kind of person who is cold by nature, like the protagonist in some novels, who only puts self-interest first, but this situation does not belong to Zhou Daoan. Regardless of his previous life or future life, he is a person of flesh and blood, even if there is a little special part, his emotions are always indelible. This is the so-called human nature.

Therefore, Zhou Daoan has always been grateful to Dr. William and his wife, coupled with the long time together, integrated into many secrets of Dr. William, he has even regarded himself as a real member of the cheap clinic.

Although Mrs. William's guilt was not caused by him, he had a chance to save it, but he didn't experience it too much at the time, and put his mind on his own task, so this self-blame was lingering for Zhou Daoan.

In the midst of the complex changes in his inner emotions, the policeman's carriage has already crossed the streets to the docklands, and turned directly into Kane Street.

"Fourteenth, fifteenth...... Number seventeen! It's here! The detective who was following the car watched intently as he flew by through the window, reporting the house numbers one by one, and the speed of the carriage slowed down as it got closer! Finally, the number 17th was reported, the carriage stopped accurately on the side of the road, and with a "bang", the carriage door was pushed open, and the two detectives, together with Fred and Zhou Daoan, jumped out of the carriage together.

"That's right, this is it!" Fred threw the thick blanket back into the carriage and gritted his teeth, making sure that the doorway of the building in front of him was the same as he had expected.

To be honest, due to the urgency of the journey, the movement of the police appeared to be slightly louder, and it was difficult to say whether it would disturb the suspects. But what is the first priority of the police? Is it capture or rescue?

If it is an arrest, then the police should act quietly, do not shoot, and it is best to arrest the suspect at the crime scene, in the process of the crime, and when the facts of the crime have been determined! This is often a one-size-fits-all approach, but it also gives rise to the behavior of "fishing law enforcement", which puts the victim's personal safety at great risk.

If it is a rescue, then rushing to the scene as quickly as possible and ensuring the personal safety of the victim is the most important thing, and there are not many things to take into account. It would be ideal to have both, but that only exists when the police receive a tip in advance and have a defensive line in place. And in this kind of emergency, the police can only choose one. Obviously, Fred chose the latter! This shows that he is not a superior who sacrifices the interests of others for his own merits.

Another detective immediately rushed up the steps of the apartment building and began to unlock the door in a "simple and brutal" way. And Zhou Daoan looked up, the 4-story building, after midnight to the early hours of the morning, was already dark, except for a room on the left side of the 2nd floor, there was still a little light! But it was blocked by the curtain, and I couldn't see the scene inside.

In a few seconds, the detective in charge of unlocking had solved the rather old and uncomplicated lock, and the iron gate of the fence was opened, and the passage of the porch was displayed in front of the detectives without obstruction.

"Up!" Fred endured his physical discomfort, leaned on his cane, and gave the order directly.

Together with Zhou Daoan, the two detectives immediately rushed in and ran up the stairs.

A few seconds later, the three of them had reached the door of room two hundred and one. The wooden door is mottled, but it separates the interior and exterior.

"The Royal Police handle the case, open the door!" Most directly, the detective who had been leading the way in breaking down the door and unlocking it stepped forward and knocked on the door of the apartment.

Not to mention that the movement is enough for people in the room to hear, even the neighbors who go up and down the stairs can be woken up!

"Bang dang!"

The person who responded to the knock on the door was the crisp sound of the appliance falling from the room, and there was no need to think about it, it must have been the people inside the door who were disturbed by the violent knocking on the door, so that they overturned something!

But it also indicates that there is someone on the other side of the door! This made Zhou Daoan can't help but mention it in his heart! Is Elizabeth not yet killed, or is Mrs. William not yet gone?!

The detectives were even more hesitant, and they heard too much of the sound of the police coming to the door and causing the suspect to panic and miss. The detective didn't talk nonsense, and took out the wire bar again, ready to forcibly open the lock.

"Break the door directly!" Fred's voice came from the hallway, he was unable to move, although no one had arrived, but he was paying attention to what was happening on the second floor, and when it was time for the matter, he immediately gave the order.

So the two detectives took two steps back together, and then one accelerated a short distance and crashed straight into the gate!

"Bang!"

In a single moment, the wooden door, which did not look very sturdy, was immediately smashed into the latch. The door opens and the lights in the apartment illuminate the room in full view!

In the bedroom, where the living room leads, on a narrow bed, a woman is rigidly tied to her limbs and fixed to the bed in large characters. Another tall, thin woman in a long black dress, pale face, was standing at the head of the bed, holding in one hand an oil lamp that had no shade—it had been overturned—and in the other hand a scalpel that flickered with cold light. The blade was only a centimeter away from the side of the unconscious woman's neck at the head of the bed.

"Police, stop!" The roar of the two detectives at the same time.

"Mrs. William, don't! It's all a misunderstanding! This was Zhou Daoan's eager scream.

Sure enough, as expected, it was Liz William, the wife of Dr. William, who was about to attack Elizabeth who was unconscious on the bed, with a scalpel in hand at the moment.

Her face was not good-looking at the moment, obviously, she did not expect the police to break into the door, so in just a few seconds, she did not make any other movements, but subconsciously pressed the scalpel close to Elizabeth's neck, but did not make a move.

At the same time, there was a frenzied glint in her eyes, and it was clear that she didn't intend to stop there. She condescended, glanced at everyone present, and her brow immediately furrowed—

"What about John! Why didn't he come! Doesn't he dare see me! ”

The voice was sharp and hoarse, which obviously indicated that the speaker's inner emotions were far less calm than they appeared!

Zhou Daoan couldn't help but sigh secretly - Dr. William was still asleep in the effect of the anesthetic! The initiator of this is Mrs. William in front of her! But Mrs. William ignored this at all, and cried out to see her husband. What does this mean? It shows that Mrs. William is already schizophrenic, and her heart has been completely occupied by the one full of jealousy, and only a persistent thought of revenge fills her mind, and she has forgotten everything else she has done and what reality is.

"Listen to me, Mrs. William! Calm down, it's all a misunderstanding between you and Dr. William! ”

Zhou Daoan will not waste time explaining Dr. William's condition, the only thing he can do at the moment is to dissolve, at least weaken Mrs. William's hatred, so that there is still a chance to save Elizabeth under the threat of the blade!

"Mrs. William, your husband has not betrayed you—not even once! I know everything about him, and I can explain it to you one by one! This lady Elizabeth in front of her, she is just a patient, she made an appointment with Dr. William, it was for an abortion! It's not that there is any personal affection! Her child is Francis Thompson's! ”

Zhou Daoan spoke quickly, and he didn't care about Sir Thompson's privacy, so he told the truth directly!

It's a pity that Mrs. William, who is already stunned, can't hear much truth at the moment. Even if it is the truth, in the cognition brought about by her long-term "brain supplement", under her jealous mood, she will treat these truths as lies!

Because she thinks that everything around her is a lie, and the husband she values the most is the number one liar. And what about the rest of the irrelevant people? And, rather than saying that she didn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it anymore! All she needed was a revenge, a vent, a destruction......

So, she laughed wildly—

"Good, good! It's so good, John doesn't dare to face me himself now, just let you, a good helper and a good apprentice, lie to me? Since he has given up, I will give him this gift in its entirety! ”

This voice is the ghost of the night, and it is also the demon who urges life!
