"Actually, it's quite easy to speculate." He walked over to the corpse again and pulled one of the female corpse's arms: "Look, the whole arm is hard like a wooden stick, and it is slightly bent outward, this is not a zombie, but a manifestation of the armpit tendon being severed, which can make the corpse's arm completely incapacitated." ”

As he spoke, he also pointed to the corpse's legs casually: "The lower limbs also cut off the medial muscles with the same technique, so that the deceased was completely paralyzed on the ground, and the murderer was allowed to dissect slowly, unable to struggle, or even scream, because the murderer used a hook through the throat to destroy the deceased's vocal cords and glottis......"

His tone was the same as that of a chatter, but between the lines he could express a kind of extreme despair and pain.

"And this method is a long-standing way of eating beef in Rochester town."

"How to eat beef?" Catherine couldn't help but wonder again.

"That's right, in order to ensure the freshness of the meat, their people deal with live cattle like this, while cutting the meat, while using the juice of the squirt flower to stop the bleeding, the body of the cow is still twitching, very interesting, but more than 20 years ago, it was banned by the local councillor in the name of animal cruelty, what a nosy...... But if you want to try it, I can introduce you to a couple of good underground restaurants, which are a bit pricey. Sherlock said to Catherine with a smile.

"Focus on your case!"

"Okay." Sherlock continued: "In short, the murderer is so skillful, it is certainly not a day or two to practice, if the arteries under the brachial plexus are broken, the victim will soon bleed to death, the murderer has an extremely patient experience in this, and it is estimated that he still enjoys it;

However, the underground restaurants in London do not provide the necessary environment for this kind of training, and the murderer should have his own way, or simply raise his own large livestock, which I prefer because it is more secretive...... The juice of the squirt flower can stop bleeding well, but long-term contact will make the skin itchy and hair lossy, and the close-fitting cotton shirt can effectively relieve this itching.

And the mouth of the deceased, as I said earlier, the murderer destroyed his glottis, because there was a clear tear mark on the mouth, you should know that when destroying the glottis, the hook needs to be pressed down, right, it is difficult to reach that angle without breaking the mouth. ”

No one responded to him, probably because he didn't keep up with the conversation, or because he was ...... Who would know about such a thing.

Sherlock didn't care, and his voice sped up a bit: "In short, during the autopsy, the deceased's face became extremely distorted due to pain and a tear in his mouth, but the murderer took the trouble to return his facial muscles to normal after that.

As I said, it was about five or six o'clock in the morning, and the murderer still insisted on doing it during this time, probably because he had some kind of obsession with the face of a beautiful woman, similar to 'a bad woman is not worthy of being killed by me', and even did not hesitate to leave witnesses for it.

Such a person, no matter how superior his family background is, he either often invites beautiful women to live happily at home, which is a vulgar solution, and the elegant one is to collect some portraits of beautiful women, and I even think that he himself may be very good at painting, anyway, he can satisfy this hobby, and he can also get it on the table, these two methods are the most common. ”

"But what you said has no evidence at all, it's just wishful thinking." Catherine seemed to want to contradict the other.

"I didn't say I had proof." Sherlock smiled: "This is just the most reasonable speculation at this stage, you might as well work in this direction, I don't think you are the kind of guy who has to have conclusive evidence to arrest people."

Oh, by the way, the murderer had a wound on the right rib, I'm sure of that, because there were obvious signs of confluence on the corpse's sternum incision, and his arm was a little shaky and his muscles were sticky when he made fine movements laterally. ”

Sherlock gestured to a knife to cut something.

This large explanation actually contains a lot of content, but the time it takes to say it is very short, only about a minute.

Sherlock spoke in a clear tone, but at a speed of three times, and poured out all his breath, regardless of the feelings of others; It's as if he doesn't want people to follow his train of thought and sighs about it, but just treats this ability to reason and analyze as a very sparse and ordinary thing.

That's right, detectives, some reasoning skills are reasonable, just pestle at the scene of the crime for a while, and take in all the information that can be guessed, this skill is not worth showing off and praising at all.

But the crowd around doesn't seem to think so.

For example, Catherine, her expression changed from indifferent and cold at the beginning, little by little to contemplation, and finally became very wonderful;

And Deacon Badr, who had been standing silent, also changed his expression back and forth between frowning and stretching......

Honestly, this was a bit of a surprise to Sherlock.

Because according to his inherent impression of the group of people in the Adjudication Division, he thought that they were the kind of bloody combatists who only needed to know the name of the murderer to directly carry out a brutal hunt, but he didn't expect that he would listen carefully to his own reasoning.

Even at the end, he nodded slightly, which showed that he had kept up with his train of thought, and after digesting a lot of information, he gave a positive statement.

Instead, it was the young sheriff wrapped in steam armor outside the alley, with a blank look on his face, but he just knew that his mouth was wide open.

"Judging from the scene, it should only be surmised to this extent, so I said that I am no longer needed here." Sherlock finally brought the conversation back to where it began: "Then I will take some unresolved questions home and think slowly, which is the most helpful behavior for the case at this moment." ”

Catherine hesitated for a moment, her gaze flickered back and forth between the corpse on the ground and Sherlock, and finally landed on Deacon Badr's face, pausing for a few seconds, as if reading the mind of the bereaved man.

After a short while, she spoke slowly:

"Remember, you have less than 20 hours left, and if you succeed, you will naturally be thanked by the church, but if you fail, then you will also be punished as you deserve."

"Punishment?" Sherlock's tone didn't have too many doubts: "With all due respect, you have given such harsh conditions to solve the case, in fact, it is reasonable to not find the murderer, why is there a punishment?" ”

"Stress makes people more focused on their work." Catherine gave this sentence lightly.

This shows that she knows that these requests are unreasonable, but she doesn't care, there is no need for any reason to punish a civilian, in fact, Sherlock thinks that if she gives herself a knife at this moment, she can make the murderer appear, then the people here will not hesitate to chop themselves to death.

However, such an unreasonable, even close to reckless behavior of human life, is so reasonable in the eyes of everyone.

Because this is a kind of crushing gap in the social structure, so that it completely transcends other factors such as ethics and morality; No one would question why the clergy of the church would chop an innocent person to death with a knife, as if they had stepped on a weed while walking, and no one would care if the weed was condemned to death.

Of course, Sherlock must not have been too lazy to judge the merits of this social level, he was just an ordinary detective, so he smiled politely:

"That'...... Can you ask for a carriage to take me home, Baker Street, Downtown...... It's quite far. ”
