"It's not really difficult," Holmes said. "Honestly, I thought that I had encountered a rare and unusual case when I heard Gregson, at least the kind that happened on Allen Island in 1832. As a result, I went to the site and found that there was nothing remarkable. Let me talk about the John Textile Factory first. "

Holmes paused. "Remember what we were talking about in the afternoon?"

"You're talking about the impact of professional opponents?"

"Yes, I have been doing research in this area recently. I have found many people from all walks of life in the city of London, including bricklayers, fishermen, cooks, typists, etc ... I go out every morning just after dawn, and have been When the slums stayed in the sun, they spent a lot of time studying their hand shapes, comparing them with each other and with other people in the same industry. The results were remarkable. I am planning to organize it into a dissertation. " Sherlock Holmes said, "I was by the river just now, and I checked the palm of the child, and compared her palm with my findings. Although her body has been soaked in water for quite some time, there is no doubt that she She works in a textile mill, so your previous observations are no problem, because long hours of work made her physically weak, and she was probably sick when the incident occurred. "

"But there are many textile mills throughout London. Why can you be sure what John Mills she is in?"

"Good question," Sherlock Holmes said. "I tend to think that there is a very close distance between the place where the body was abandoned and the place where the body was found. In fact, it is OK, plus cruise ships or cargo ships pass by from time to time. If there are dead bodies on the river, it is difficult to float out too far to be found. "

"Wait, but you said that her body was soaking in the water for quite some time."

"Yes," Holmes smiled slyly. "But please also pay attention to my words. I'm talking about her body soaking in the water for quite some time, not for a long time."

"Is there any difference between the two?"

"Of course, from the state of the corpse, the victim's death time should have been last night. The murderer accidentally killed her by mistake. After that, the whole person was very panic. He threw the corpse into the river, and he should have been tied with stones. In this way, people will not be found. People will only think that the child is missing. Every day in this city, people who ca n’t get around come and go. Especially for the lower class like her, not many people care about her. Where it is, you know that the police ’s attitude to disappearances and murders is completely different. "

"Then why was her body discovered by the patrol officer again."

"There are many possibilities. Maybe the perpetrators are too nervous to fasten the rope. Maybe there is something going on and break the rope ..." Holmes said, "I'm not guessing, except for the time I said. In addition to the problem, I did find traces tied by the rope on the victim ’s wrist, so that things can be explained. Her body was soaked in water for a long time, but she was really out of trouble and was caught. The place is not long. "

"John ’s Textile Mill is the nearest textile mill here in Shanghai, and it ’s also the place where I first suspected. In addition, I also found some blue crystals in her hair, which are copper sulfate pentahydrate formed when copper sulfate meets water. Coincidentally, the next door to the John Textile Mill happened to be a chemical plant, and this was the most important basis for my final inference. "Holmes said.

"It's better to see it all. This way, criminal investigation has been raised to the level of precision science." Zhang Heng also expressed his sincere commendation.

Holmes didn't say anything when he heard the praise, but the expression on his face still looked very useful. He paused, "As for the inference about the perpetrator, it's nothing terribly clear."

"Appreciate further details."

"We all know that the assailant wanted to take advantage of the victim, but was fiercely resisted by that child. She was brave and had been fighting with each other, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too obvious, so she eventually did not Escaped, but the guy did n’t feel comfortable for too long, and the victim scratched his skin. Although the corpse was soaked in water for a long time, a part of the skin tissue remained in the nail seam, which was probably his shame. For some reason, she strangled her in one go. "

"Wait ... you said your child was strangled?"

"Yes," Holmes was sure.

"But hasn't her head been hit hard?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Like I said, there was a fight between the two. From the marks of the wound, I tend to think that her head hit the table, but it is not fatal ~ www.readwn.com ~ It really killed her. Still suffocation, not suffocation in the water, but choked her throat, there is bruise on her neck, but it is not obvious after soaking in water, it is not easy to find by ordinary people, as to say that they know is normal, in At that time, it was already dark, and it would be almost impossible to be in the same room with men and women who do not know each other. "

"What about that height? You said he was almost six feet tall. How did he infer it?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Well, this requires a little skill," Holmes said. "I simulated their then ... wow, position, the woman was down and the man was up, and then you could determine the direction and angle of the palm by comparing the bruise on the neck, and then Calculate the approximate height of the perpetrator as mine. "

Holmes talked arrogantly, and finally cleared up all the previous inferences before serving.

Many things in this world are like this. When I first listened to the conclusion, it felt very magical and incredible, but once I knew the inference process, it didn't seem so mysterious anymore, it was like the magician's magic.

"Forward reasoning is easy. For example, when you see bread, you know that it is breakfast, but not vice versa. This is also the ability that detectives need to exercise. If you want to learn, you can start by guessing your career, starting from a person ’s sleeves, Shoes, index finger thumb cocoon skin, fingernails, shirts, expressions, etc. Guess what profession he is engaged in, such as the gentleman at the table behind you, just by observing I can know that he has just returned from Afghanistan, is a Medic. "

Zhang Heng heard that for the first time tonight, a strange look appeared on his face.

Holmes thought Zhang Heng didn't believe it, and then he said, "We can make a bet and see who can tell more about him accurately. Rest assured, I have never met him before."
