Between August 7 and November 9, 1888 in London, England, a murderer killed five prostitutes in a row in the vicinity of Whitechapel in the East End of London. And during the crime, the murderer also wrote many letters to the news agency and relevant departments to provoke, and has not been brought to justice to this day.

Because the case took place in the area of Whitechapel, it was initially called the "Whitechapel Homicide", and later because the news agency received a provocative letter in which the murderer was signed "Jack the Ripper". So later the case was popularly known as the Jack the Ripper case

Jack the Ripper, who slit his throat and disemboweled, was brutal and bold in his murderous and arrogant personality, and he lurked in the thick fog of the London night, causing great panic in British society. Until now one of the most notorious killers in the West.

After Jack the Ripper kills his last victim, Mary Jane Carey, he disappears, and it is unknown whether he is alive or dead! Since then, there have been no similar cases in London. Because the London police have touched a large number of people, but still have not been able to solve the case, it has been criticized by all walks of life in the United Kingdom, including Queen Victoria.

Han Daring saw that the second victim of the throat cutting and caesarean section case did not apply fat powder to his face, and his fingernails were not rubbed with Kodan, and the clothes on the side were relatively plain, and the scene had been destroyed by the onlookers, so he did not see his identity at first.

However, after careful observation of the corpse, it was found that its physical characteristics were very similar to many drug addicts who were addicted to opium, so it was speculated that the identity of the deceased might be an artist from the Luozi Pavilion or an elderly and decrepit prostitute.

At this time, the identity of the deceased was also confirmed by onlookers, and it was indeed a prostitute nicknamed Lao Yu. The methods of the two throat-slitting disembowelment cases and the identity of the deceased immediately reminded Han Daring of Jack the Ripper in London, England more than 40 years ago.

Han Daring thought to herself, the modus operandi of the murder in front of her was similar to the chosen target, and even the foggy sky was similar to the Ripper case, except that this case had a sense of religious ritual, and it was almost the same. But one case happened in London, England nearly half a century ago, and the other is the current Tianjin Wei, is there a connection between the two?

Could it be that the reason why Jack the Ripper didn't commit the crime was that he left England? But even if he followed the trend of the mysterious East, crossed the sea together, came to the Huaxia Continent, and is now in Tianjin Wei, then does he still have the ability to commit crimes?

At the time of his crime in London, he was sophisticated and arrogant, and he should never have been a fledgling hairy boy, at least twenty-eight or nineteen to thirty-four or five years old, and if this was the case, he would have lived to be at least seventy or eighty years old. At such an old age, even if he has the intention to commit murder, I am afraid that he is no longer capable of committing crimes!

Moreover, there are some differences between the two cases after all, the murderer in this case, in addition to removing the organs, will also draw the appearance of religious ceremonies to mislead the direction of the investigation, obviously he is a cautious and careful person, although bold but not reckless. It is different from the arrogant personality of Jack the Ripper.

And for Westerners, if they want to mislead the investigation with religious behavior, the most likely thing is to choose the Western religion they are most familiar with, and in Tianjin, a place where there are many Chinese and Western mixed religions, it will not appear to be contrary at all, so it is unlikely to use the local religion that even many Chinese themselves may not understand.

It has been more than 70 years since the opening of the port of Tianjin, and the trade between China and the West, along with Western religion and various scientific knowledge and cultural information, has also been introduced to China.

Many people who have a Western-style education or care about current affairs can know a lot of news that happens on the other side of the ocean. Moreover, the story of Jack the Ripper has been circulating for more than forty years, and many people must have heard the story about this notorious killer. Therefore, if the possibility of pure coincidence is excluded, it is very likely to be a "parody crime"!

It may seem very abrupt to say that there are imitation cases in China by foreigners, but Tianjin Wei is different from other places, this is a city where Chinese and foreign people live in the Nine Concessions, and it is not uncommon for a British criminal "copycat" to appear here!

However, at the moment these are just speculations, and there is no empirical evidence. Except for the speculation in Han Da'er's heart, there were no useful clues found in the places where the scene was not destroyed.

With the opening of the meat market, fish market, and bird market, more and more people gathered after the Hou family. In addition, there are lively people gathered in the distance, three layers inside and three layers outside, noisy and shouting, which has blocked this place.

Han Daring asked Zhang Biao and Li Huan to finish collecting evidence, You Fei returned to Fan Tong to be responsible for visiting the surroundings, and Wang Zhen and Liu Fang returned to the Investigation Bureau to report and apply for a case. He followed the corpse truck and dragged the corpse to the epidemic prevention hospital.

This autopsy was basically the same as the last time, but it yielded fewer clues. The stains on the deceased's body are gone, and there is no physical evidence left in the nails, so it can be said that there is basically nothing to be found except for the cause and time of death.

After the autopsy was completed, Han Dada'er returned to the Investigation Department with the autopsy report, and just came back when he received a call from Mei Ruohong.

The unknown tiny fragments sent for testing, the talisman pigment powder, and the bristle have all come to fruition!

The tiny fragment was a shell fragment, which had been dyed, so it was dark, and the fragment was very flat except for the cracked stubble, as if it had been polished, and it should be a dyed shell button.

In addition to some human blood, there is also a sulfur chemical industry, i.e. cinnabar, which is different from ordinary landscape paintings or ink cinnabar, and also contains trace amounts of other additives and color carriers, which are commonly found in oil paints.

As for the bristles, they are not the bristles that have not been treated when the pigs are killed, and the bristles have been cut and glued after washing, and they are the hair material used to make oil paintbrushes.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Han Da'er's mind, and he suddenly brightened. He finally knew what the black stain on the female corpse was, it was the ash of the charcoal essence strip!

Charcoal strips, also known as carbon leads, are a type of charcoal pen that is specially used for drawing sketches.

It turns out that the murderer can draw, and it's a Western painting!

That night, when Han Dada'er was under the street lamp and observed the corpse, he found that the corpse had been placed by the murderer as a side bed, as if he was curled up and asleep. It turns out that it is out of place, a kind of broken beauty of death!

After the murderer cut his throat and committed the murder, he put the corpse in this way, and before hugging the corpse, he stood next to the corpse and drew the appearance of the female corpse with charcoal strips and sketchbooks.

Han Daring closed his eyes and quietly brought himself into the perspective of the murderer......

On a cloudy and moonlit night, a pitch-black figure came out of the fog, wearing a black dress with dyed shell buttons, flashing under the street lamp!

He walked in the alley and was confronted by a graceful woman. He had expected this woman to be here at this time, he knew that this woman would come towards him, but this woman did not know that she was walking towards death!

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in the hand of this black shadow, and he shot like electricity, cutting the woman's throat with a knife!

A mist of blood erupted from the woman's neck, and she felt like she couldn't breathe. She covered the wound on her neck with one hand, and kept scratching with the other, but she happened to grab the sleeve of the black shadow. The nails hooked the hairs of an oil brush on the body of a black shadow, and there was a fragment of the cuff of a man's shirt.

Her body gradually froze, her vocal cords were severed, and blood poured into her throat, making her unable to make a sound at all.

After taking a few steps back, the woman froze to the ground, the blood on her neck had stained most of her clothes red, but in half a minute, the woman had lost consciousness, and she fell to the ground after a few twists.

The black shadow dragged him under the street lamp, and since most of the blood had soaked into the woman's clothes and pants, there was not much blood on the ground except for the blood splatters on the wall.

At this moment, the black shadow stripped off the woman's clothes, shoes and socks, and put the naked woman in a sleeping position with her back hunched on her side. The dim light of the street lamp, scattered in the white mist, appeared hazy. In the light veil-like mist, the woman's corpse seemed to be asleep, as if immersed in a sweet dream. But the blood on his body and the deep wound on his neck carried a kind of poignancy of cold death.

The black shadow couldn't help but tremble, he couldn't hold it anymore, ignoring the blood on the ground, lying sideways next to the female corpse, gently hugging the female corpse from behind, at this time his body and mind got a huge sense of satisfaction!

He wants to keep this beautiful moment so that he can always reminisce about it. He stood up and took out his charcoal strip and sketchbook, and stood beside the corpse, under the street lamp, and drew what he thought was the most beautiful picture!

After closing the album contentedly, he reached out to move the woman's body, and he found that the body had begun to stiffen, and he was a little anxious, so he could only break the corpse's shoulders and arms.

In this way, the charcoal ash in his hand also rubbed on the woman's body. However, he was very cautious and did not want to leave any clues, so he hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped off the charcoal ash, although he felt that the charcoal ash had been wiped under the street lamp, but the charcoal ash mixed with human body oil in the sunlight would show patches of smudges.

The murderer took out a knife and cut open the chest and abdomen of the female corpse. He is good at painting and is good at human anatomy, so the position of the knife is very accurate. He disemboweled, and then used some blood that had not yet dried up, mixed with oil paint, and drew a huge charm on the wall with an oil paint!

After everything was finished, he took the woman's heart and left there in a hurry, and when he left, he reluctantly glanced at the corpse again, and the whole play ended.

The woman died in the corner of the alley, but the black shadow disappeared into the dark night!

In the detective department, everyone listened to Han Daring's personal interpretation and eloquent narration, and they couldn't help but feel creepy, Han Dada'er seemed to be still immersed in the murderer's world, his eyes were extremely excited and stared ahead, but he didn't say a word.

At this time, You Fei gently patted him on the shoulder, and Han Da'er reflected at this time, and his whole body was full of excitement, which frightened You Fei.

Fan Channel:

"Okay! Han Tou'er, we thought you were possessed! ”

Han Da'er suddenly said:

"The murderer is a man, he should be between twenty-five and thirty years old, from a wealthy family, with a good Western education, good at Western painting, drawing, sketching, oil painting, etc.!

He may have suffered abuse from childhood, had a mother-lover, and once killed small animals when he was a child, until he could no longer find pleasure in small animals, and began to attack living people.

His childhood may have been related to prostitutes, so he is very conflicted, that is, he hates these lowly women, but he wants to find maternal love in these women! It is very likely that the mother of the murderer is the woman in the Fengyue Field! ”

Everyone in the Investigation Bureau was stunned, the case analysis meeting had been held for a long time, but they had never heard Han Daring's immersive narration and such accurate speculation.

Mei said:

"Is what you're saying true, or is it a guess? There is no one to witness, what you say can be compared with the real thing! ”

Han Daring said:

"The basic situation should be like this, I can't analyze it in too much detail, looking at the murderer's method of committing murder, it is a special pathology, and ordinary reasoning methods cannot be used for this kind of person!

This method I used was also my first attempt, and it was a substitution method, which was to put myself in the situation of the murderer's crime. It is a kind of criminal psychology, and it is a psychological portrait of criminals!

Criminal psychology was put forward by German psychologists at the end of the 18th century, when the case of Jerka the Ripper in London, England, a doctor named Thomas was asked to analyze the murderer! ”

Fan Channel:

“…… What did you say...... We don't understand that! The one called the Ripper or something ended up caught? ”

Han Daring sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Mei said:

"Then this thing just doesn't work!"

Fan Channel:

"I don't know if it's useful, anyway, what Han Tou'er said must be reasonable!"

Mei glanced at Fan Tongyi and said:

"You're going to be a sycophant!"

Fan Tong rubbed his nose with his hand and muttered in a low voice:

"You're not the same!" But the voice was very small, and Mei didn't hear what he said.

At this time, You Fei said:

"Anyway, I still think that this matter has something to do with Huang Xiao......"

Mei said:

"After all, Huang Xiao is not active, don't make trouble for me!"

Everyone, you say a word to me, the case analysis meeting of the Investigation Bureau is in a mess, and they are all about to catch up with the vegetable market.

Although everyone expressed their opinions, and there were one or two old fritters who objected, everyone also knew that the number one case handling expert in the Detective Bureau was Han Daring, even if he didn't understand what he said, and I didn't know how he analyzed so many clues, but I was still most convinced by his words in my heart.

Mei was able to allocate manpower, spread all the people in the investigation department, and let everyone follow the clues given by Han Dada'er to visit everywhere and listen from all sides, but there was nothing to gain for a few days.

Who knew that that night, Wang Zhen, a police officer from the Investigation Bureau, and Liu Fang went home together, but there was an unexpected danger......
