Chapter 22: Luring the Serpent Out of the Hole
Xue Wuwei suddenly patted his head very hard: "Oh, why am I so stupid!" ”
"In previous cycles, Mr. Holmes had obtained autopsy reports from several deceased people, which said that the injuries on the victims' bodies were caused by sharp cuts."
Werewolves have no reason after transforming, killing people by instinct, cutting with sharp weapons? It's as good as your own sharp and sharp claws!
"So you mean, the two werewolves yesterday were a coincidence?" Kong Qianyu also understood that this was a misunderstanding caused by them, as a member of the Xuanmen, who had done a lot of catching ghosts and subduing demons, encountered supernatural phenomena, and regarded the werewolf as a murderer for the first time.
"No, the appearance of werewolves is by no means accidental, I don't believe that there will be coincidences in this world, all coincidences, to put it bluntly, are inseparable from human traces." Xue Wuwei shook his head slightly.
"Then you mean, just after we packed up the werewolves and left the scene with their corpses, someone sneaked over to find the whereabouts of these two werewolves in vain, and killed Anne in anger?"
"It's also possible, but I think it's more likely that Anne told the murderer about our role in it, and then the murderer killed him." Xue Wuwei glanced in the direction of the river: "There are many legends about werewolves, but how many have you really seen with your own eyes?" ”
"It's a pity that you kid don't want to be a policeman."
With new clues, there was no need for them to continue to smell the pickled stench here, but they didn't expect to run into Sherlock Holmes as soon as they went out.
"Oh, dear Watson, you've been here, and I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Mr. Holmes, I wonder what you're looking for me?"
"That hateful murderer is doing murder again, we have to catch him quickly, or he won't stop."
"We also just heard that another poor girl died, and we also asked her to understand the situation before, but we didn't expect her to be killed too."
"What do you want her to know? Has she ever seen a murderer? ”
"We looked for a lot of people who were on the street at night, just to ask if any of them had seen the murderer, but unfortunately, Miss Anne said that she didn't see anything, I don't know why, she was actually killed by the murderer, could it be that she really knew something and didn't know it?"
The bird language that came and went, listening to the tedious and laborious, Kong Qianyu smiled on the surface, and the tears in his heart, and he had a deep urge to send the world map to the charming ancestor.
Just when she wanted to sneak away, Xue Wuwei beckoned to her: "Mr. Holmes, this is my countryman, Miss Kong." ”
"Oh, beautiful Oriental lady, it's an honor to meet you."
"I'm honored to know you, too, Mr. Holmes."
"Mr. Holmes is going to take us to the autopsy report from the doctor, please come with us."
Kong Qianyu nodded, it's okay, go openly, and save her the trouble of sneaking in.
At this time, there was no complete forensic department in later generations, and the work of examining corpses had to be done by doctors, as for the level of these doctors, just look at how many nobles were bled to death.
So before seeing the corpse, Kong Qianyu was negative and skeptical about the conclusions they had reached.
Due to the temperate maritime climate, London is not too hot and cold all year round, so there is no reason why the weather in August and September is not conducive to the preservation of corpses, right?
In the basement that stretched downward, the feeling of getting hotter and hotter and the stench of suffocation was getting bigger and bigger, even if they had already been mentally prepared, the moment they really saw the corpse, Kong Qianyu still felt that his throat and eyes were a little itchy.
The person in charge of the autopsy was a fat middle-aged man who couldn't even see his neck, the white coat on his body was dirty, and before he could speak, the smell of alcohol had already hit his face, mixed with the smell of corpses, and the smell was simply amazing.
"Oh, Mr. Holmes, I already know that you are coming, and I can tell you with certainty that the dead this time were the same murderer as the two before them. You see. He casually lifted the sheet covering the corpse and pointed to a few wounds.
Kong Qianyu also stepped forward to take a look, and after seeing the scars, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes.
She was accustomed to seeing all kinds of scars, and she knew what kind of sharp weapons were injured, and saying that these people were doctors simply tarnished the glory of the angels in white.
Anne died not long ago, and the scars on her body were best recognized, and the edges were indeed cut with sharp weapons, but the damage to the internal organs was not caused by sharp weapons.
To explain the point, Anne was injured by something first, and then someone cut off the skin at the edge of the wound with a sharp object.
This scar is deep in the bones, even the internal organs have been scratched, the wound is fragmented, how can it be covered by cutting off some skin, is this doctor blind?
She was not familiar with werewolves, and she didn't think that werewolves are generally a characteristic of group gathering, and it is impossible for a litter of wolves to have only two such a simple truth, and it was only after seeing the scars that she understood it.
Although I don't understand why this one can switch between wolf nature and human nature repeatedly, it doesn't matter, finding them, destroying them, and seeing if you can break the illusion is the most important thing.
For a long time afterward, the Whitechapel district was calm and there was no more murder, and even when Shu Huang, who patrolled the designated area every night according to the requirements of his superiors, began to slack off, Xue Wuwei squatted on the attic that had been vacated after Anne was killed, staring intently at a figure not far away.
Small streets and alleys, just standing at the mouth of the alley can be seen at a glance, it is really not a good place for Tibetans, and tonight, September 30, after half a month of hibernation, the murderer will ruthlessly take two lives on this day!
If you miss it, you have to wait another ten days, how can you bear it? Kong Qianyu disguised herself as a stumbling woman, leaning listlessly against the hidden door, waiting, inside the door, the real victim Elizabeth had been knocked out by them.
Forcefully lifted the old skirt that was a little exposed, and there was finally movement in the alley.
A tall figure appeared at the mouth of the alley, and his footsteps told everyone that this was a man, and he went to the alley famous for the gathering of women who lost his feet in the middle of the night, what else could he do?
The real women who lost their feet all began to scratch their heads and gestures, only Kong Qianyu tensed up, leaning against the door and not moving.
The footsteps stood still in front of her without accident, and Kong Qianyu stood up slightly straight, with exaggerated makeup on her face, smiled and asked, "Do you need service?" ”
The man didn't speak, grabbed Kong Qianyu's arm, and pushed her into the house, quite impatient.
"Oh, sir, please don't be in a hurry. Let's start with price." When the people around saw the guests being taken away, they were disappointed and could only envy, jealousy and hatred.
What they didn't know was that when they entered the house, the anxious so-called guest changed his appearance, and his hairy claws grabbed Kong Qianyu's delicate neck, and in just a few seconds, he could drink fresh blood!
However, Kong Qianyu was waiting for him!
Without dodging or dodging, the burning stick directly cut off the claws that he stretched out.
Not bad, no less damage than silverware, Kong Qianyu looked at the results of his move with satisfaction.
