Chapter 120: I'm Not a Thief!
Although Vickery's request seemed very simple to everyone, Kosmsky was very embarrassed and questioned: "Officer, didn't that Jack the Ripper just kill people, when did he steal and defraud?" ”
"How do you know he's not stealing or cheating? Do you know him? Or are you Jack the Ripper? Vickery asked rhetorically.
Kosmsky was immediately stopped by this sentence, and it took several seconds before asking, "Mr. Officer, are you sure that as long as I shout that sentence three times, you will dispel the suspicion of me?" ”
To be honest, Vickery was originally a little skeptical of Monet's test method, but now seeing Kosmisky's reaction, he has basically determined that this guy is the "Jack the Ripper", after all, this request is so simple, if other people have already run out and shouted, how can it be tangled like this?
So Vikri nodded playfully and replied, "That's right, as long as you shout it!" ”
Kosmsky did a long day of psychological construction, and then he made up his mind to say to Vikry: "Okay, then I'll go out and shout now!" ”
But when I got to the center of the street, I just shouted half a sentence: "Jack the Ripper is a despicable and shameless thief, a liar......"
was interrupted by Vikry: "Mr. Kosmisky, I just told you, you have to shout loudly, you are so small that I can barely hear it, can it be regarded as shouting?" ”
"You!" Kosmsky glared at Vickery, his chest rising and falling violently with excitement, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you, shout with the loudest voice!" ”
Then he opened his throat and shouted: "Jack the Ripper is a despicable and shameless thief, liar, murderer!" Jack the Ripper is a despicable and shameless thief, liar, murderer! Jack the Ripper is a despicable and shameless thief......"
But when he said it for the third time, he couldn't help it, grabbed Vikri's collar, and scolded viciously: "You despicable and shameless policeman, you dare to slander my reputation, I, I'm going to strangle you!" ”
Vickery, who was watching the play with great interest, and the policemen beside him had already been mentally prepared, so they restrained Kosmsky and asked him with a smile: "Mr. Kosmisky, now you admit that you are Jack the Ripper?" ”
"That's right, I'm Jack the Ripper! I'd rather be imprisoned by you than allowed to tarnish my reputation!" Kosmsky roared frantically.
However, the two police officers ignored him, as long as he admitted it, Jory (the police officer who came with Vickery) said to him with admiration: "Vikri, you have done a great job this time, I really didn't expect this barber to be Jack the Ripper!" ”
Vickery replied modestly: "Actually, the biggest credit is to Tony - Mr. Monet, I only saw him before I put my mind on the barber, we have been investigating the doctor before, but we have forgotten that the barber can also dissect the human body." ”
In European culture, the barber can be said to be the grandfather of the surgeon, which is not a joke, because before the establishment of the Western medical system, all the work related to the current surgery, such as bloodletting, was done by the barber, probably because the barber's razor was very sharp......
At the Tenth Lateran Council in 1215, it was officially established that a barber should be a surgeon at the same time. In 1462, King Edward IV of England founded the first Barbers' Guild, officially granting its members a monopoly on barbering and surgery in London.
Later, with the continuous progress of medicine, many real surgeons felt that it was ridiculous to use the barber's dirty razor to perform surgery, so in 1514 they established the Union of Surgeons, but unfortunately the influence was too weak at that time, so in 1540 King Henry VIII still merged the Barbers' Guild and the Surgeons' Union.
It wasn't until 1745 that the two were officially separated, and the organization of surgeons was still called the Union of Surgeons (renamed the Royal College of Surgeons in 1800), but there were still many barbers doing the work of surgeons in private!
"And this method of testing Kosmisky was also prompted to me by him, so I plan to apply to the director when I go back and write a thank you letter to Mr. Monet!" Vickery added.
But Jory frowned and persuaded: "But Vikri, if you do this, then your credit will be less!" ”
Vickery waved his hand and said, "This credit itself belongs to Mr. Monet, and after receiving my letter, they also sent me a telegram at great expense, and if I take the credit of others, my conscience will be disturbed!" ”
"Oh, Vikry, you're such a nice man!" Jory said helplessly.
So a few days later, Monet received a thank you from the London Police Department, and at the same time, several newspapers in London also began to report on this incident in a big way, firstly because "Jack the Ripper" was a major case that caused a sensation throughout London, and secondly, because the process of solving the case was so amazing that it was actually provided by an American writer who was far away across the ocean.
After Albert learned about this, he immediately ran over to Monet to apply, saying that he must take this magical process of solving the case as his first article, and even went to London to collect materials for this purpose......
At the same time, Wendy curiously asked Arthur beside her, "Honey, how have you enjoyed reading this book lately?" ”
Arthur replied casually, "Because it's so interesting!" ”
"But in my opinion, isn't this "New China" similar to Monet's "Little Tom Roaming the Future" written before?" Wendy asked, puzzled.
Arthur originally wanted to explain, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "It's about the same, but there are too few people who write about the future and have such a sense of reality, and there are only two books at present, so it's still worth taking a good look!" ”
PS: In the past two days, I have been watching "When the Doctor Opened a Plug-in", and my book friends who are familiar with me know that I am an accountant in the hospital, but I almost never read medical texts, one is because I don't understand many terms in medicine, and the other is that almost all of the people who write medical texts are doctors, so there are almost no good things to say about logistics administration, and even there is a kind of thinking that seems strange to me, that is, we think that our logistics administration is for their medical services, what are you kidding? Is it good that everyone is serving patients?
