Watson frowned slightly

"Doesn't it mean that the social status and influence of the Ripper's murder target are constantly rising, so it is not difficult to understand that the name of His Excellency Nightingale appeared in the trailer." Watson was just a doctor, but he explained it with his own point of view.

Sherlock shook his head: "You don't read the case file, so you may not know that the Mr. Ripper we are facing now is not actually a simple murderer."

At least, he's not killing for himself."

"What do you mean?"

"That's it. You know the original ripper, right, the one who murdered the prostitute, obviously, he was killing for himself, because he was venting in this way, in search of pleasure.

And the group after him, in fact, most of them were also for themselves, they slaughtered the nobles, killed those high clergy, some of them with obvious hatred, some of them were jealous and ambitious.

But now this ripper, he is not the same as the previous one.

He killed people for something very traditional and very clichéd.

He is defending the righteousness of his heart. ”

Watson's eyebrows furrowed even more, because he hadn't yet associated this kind of panic-causing murder with the word justice, but he knew Sherlock, so at this moment, he chose to be a qualified listener, without expressing any doubts, because he knew that Sherlock would explain.

Sure enough, the guy in front of him, who claimed to be the strongest detective in the whole empire, took the last puff of his cigarette, and then continued to say unhurriedly:

"When I'm idle these days, I've taken the time to look up the guys who have been murdered recently.

I found that none of them were good people in the traditional sense.

Take Pope Nadine Belu as an example, in fact, he has intersections with many gangsters in London, many guns, hallucinogens, and human trafficking incidents, there is its shadow, remember more than a year ago, Mrs. Hudson was kidnapped by a debt company, I only found out in the past few days, the clergy behind the debt company is actually a close confidant of Pope Nadine Beru.

Moreover, this kind-looking Pope consumes an average of three boys under the age of 14 every year, the kind that is well-behaved and cute, and has good skin.' The word 'consumed' means that after a few months of contact with the Pope Beru, most of them are sent to a feed production plant and then disappear. ”

Sherlock calmly recounted what the Pope of his city had done, tossed the cigarette butt to the ground, and watched it go out little by little in the wet morning:

"And the banker, he has been involved in economic fraud, debt crushing, embezzlement, money laundering and so on countless things, because of his factories that have closed down, displaced people and even committed suicide, over the years, it is estimated that no fewer people than the airship crash incident has affected.

As for the so-called stage actor. She has unsightly photographs of no less than 40 important government officials, she trains many poor girls to be the most obedient and then for others to vent and have fun, and her femdom skills and cruelty are said to be the best in the circle.

In fact, these three people who don't seem to have any intersection are actually a very complete industrial chain, the Pope is the backer behind the scenes, ensuring that everything is running, and the banker is responsible for the operation and squeezing of debts, and when the debtors are crushed and there is no way to repay, they will be arrested, sold, and the better-looking ones will be trained into toys for those who are successful, and their children will be sold to those who have special hobbies.

And now the ripper we have been tracking down has obviously found this industrial chain, and then wrote all the people on this chain on the murder notice.

People who don't know the inside story may not understand it at first, but those who know this industry chain will definitely get some rumors and become much more well-behaved, which is murder and deterrence.

Of course, it's not just these three people who have recently been killed, in fact, since a few months ago, until now, most of the dead who died by the ripper can be called bad, so I say that he killed for the so-called justice.

And this kind of person would not be able to write Miss Nightingale's name on the trailer. ”

Ripper

Started at midnight in London's Whitechapel district, and gradually evolved from a person to an organization, strangely forming a certain inherent way of working, from killing people out of desire, to now punishment and killing with a sense of justice, and finally, Nightingale's name has covered everything with a layer of fog.

So, what exactly did the original ripper come about? how that weird way of working is maintained; Who is the most powerful ripper now; How did the unbelievable murder method come about?

The puzzles seem to be solved in 24 hours.

For, at last, the sun rises in Shylock's slow and leisurely narrative, and tomorrow is the date of Miss Nightingale's murder.

In the villa, Nopa got up early, the tiredness of the past few days made her face appear an unhealthy pale, the large table in the room, there were some extremely complicated small objects, she stretched her waist, came to the table for the final adjustment.

She didn't know what her young lady would face tomorrow, but she would do her best to be by her side, of course, she wouldn't put these words on her lips, because that would make her seem like she was asking for credit.

In the makeshift office, Hopkins walked out, and the darker and thicker dark circles under his eyes made him look a little depressed, but under the dark circles, those eyes looked radiant, like a warrior waiting to set foot on the battlefield and sacrifice his life.

Captain Gregerson took one last look at the arming map around the villa, wiping the revolver in his hand and burying himself in the smoke from his cigar.

The steps of those patrolling were extraordinarily firm, and the backs of those standing guard and looking at were extraordinarily straight, and even the most unobtrusive team members became unsmiling at this time.

This is a very delicate atmosphere, oppressive, apprehensive, fearful, but also expectant, resolute, just like the solemnity before the battle, but no one knows what the enemy is about to face.

And no one noticed that around this secluded villa area, a broken figure slowly appeared in the corner of an inconspicuous bush in the morning light.

It was a homeless man, badly wounded at first sight, barely able to support his old linen garment, his cuffs swaying in the breeze.

Did he sleep here last night?

So how long has he slept here?

If you are a homeless person, you should mostly live in a busy street with more pedestrians, because then you can reach more people and naturally have more opportunities to beg.

In a villa like this, although there are more wealthy people, it is difficult to meet people who are willing to give alms.

Whatever.

After all, it's just a bum
