I Have 48 Hours a Day

Mr. Deputy Director left hurriedly after visiting Holmes and continued to cope with the pressure from the media and the parliament. Others also returned to their respective jobs, leaving only Lestrade as an accompany.

Although the serial killings at Whitechapel are now the top priority of the police, it does not mean that other work and cases can be completely put down. London is the largest city in Europe and the world. The police work here is not easy at all. Especially now it is an eventful one, because the murders at the White Church have caused many people who are not honest to start to move, coupled with the growing panic among ordinary people, the police in London have now cancelled their vacations.

Lestrade has been following up since the first murder case. He is also the person who knows this round of cases best, and leaving him to cooperate is naturally the most suitable choice.

The three got out of the carriage, and the morgue was not far away. So far, three women have been killed, ranging in age from 34 to 50. The bodies of the first two victims have been returned to their family and friends. Bury, and the third person was killed two days ago, and there are no family members. The body is still there.

Holmes was about to enter the door, but was stopped by Zhang Heng, who said to Lestrade, "Can you give us some time?"

The short police officer made a beckoning gesture, then stepped aside and waited patiently.

Zhang Heng said, "This case ... I hope the two of us can be solved separately."

"Oh?" Holmes asked with a look of interest on his face. "Why?"

"I want to verify what I have learned during this time." Zhang Hengdao.

Holmes looked into his eyes. Zhang Heng didn't know whether the other party saw anything from it, but in the end Holmes just smiled and said, "Okay, it will become more interesting with you joining this thing. Since this time, Let's bet on whoever catches the killer first. If you lose, you will have to provide two tickets to the Queen's Theatre. "

"......... Have you been addicted to opera recently?" But Zhang Heng didn't hesitate, and readily agreed to this bet.

The conversation between the two took less than a minute and then called back to Lestrade, who introduced the case.

"The deceased was named Bernice, 46 years old. Like the two before, she was also a witch who lived at the bottom of the Eastern District. Her body was found in the fence behind the low-cost apartment where she lived. She was the first to find her. A driver, named Slater, can basically rule out the suspect. "

The short police officer opened the shroud and continued to introduce, "At the time of the forensic investigation, at about 5 am, the fatal wound on the neck was cut off by a sharp blade. The method and the two other murders we encountered earlier Similarly, at the same time, after the death, the murderer also had a laparotomy. When the driver discovered that she had a bowel on her right shoulder.

Lestrade said as he gave Holmes and Zhang Heng a photo of the scene. "But the difference is that part of her uterus and abdomen meat pieces have also been cut away, which is also the most confusing place for us. I can't imagine what the killer used to take these pieces of meat for. "

Holmes' eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything in a hurry, but asked Zhang Hengdao aside, "Will you come first or me first?"

"You go first." Zhang Heng is still looking through the photos, including the two killed before. He looked very carefully, trying not to miss any details, and at the same time confirming with some inferences of later generations.

Zhang Heng knows that it is not realistic to rely on the current lv1 criminal investigation skills to win a showdown with Sherlock Holmes. In this round of competition, he has no room for fault tolerance. It is also a more clever choice to let Sherlock Holmes take the shot first. He can also Watch as Holmes observes the point.

The detective was completely unconcerned, and Wen Yan took out the magnifying glass he used from his pocket and walked to the body.

He quickly turned into an alert hound. The magnifying glass moved left and right, and he put his face on the corpse despite the unpleasant smell ... Five minutes later, Holmes contentedly retracted the magnifying glass, indicating that it was Zhang Heng's turn.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath and came to the corpse. In the past few months, his gains were not small. As an important solution for criminal investigation, forensic anthropology and scar examination have made great progress. More and more information was obtained on the bodies.

Zhang Heng first noticed an inferior alcohol smell in the air. Later, he also found that the skin of the deceased was reddish, which was caused by the dilation of capillaries. Combined with the previous alcohol taste, it showed that the victim had a long-term alcoholism. Later, Zhang Heng noticed the fatal wound on the neck, which was obviously not only cut by a single knife. The murderer had a heavy hand and cut a lot of knives ~ www.readwn.com ~ Almost completely cut the victim's head. Came down.

In addition, under those wounds, there are still obvious striations on the neck. Zhang Heng frowned. Judging by the traces, it doesn't look like a rope or a palm, but more like a handkerchief? Zhang Heng remembered the saying that Jack the Ripper was a woman, but it was too early to make an assertion with only a handkerchief.

Zhang Heng thought of Sherlock Holmes' warning. Detectives need to maintain absolute rationality and objectivity when handling cases. They must not be preconceived. Deduction is reasoning, but this reasoning is more like the process of using clues to narrow the set and eventually find the answer. Subjective bias, then when collecting evidence, you will unconsciously bias, and eventually it is very likely to go further and further down the fork.

So Zhang Heng temporarily put aside the information currently found and continued to check.

In addition to the wounds on the lower abdomen and neck, the victim's face was also painted.

"It can be seen that the guy really hated the witch." Lestrade sighed. "Otherwise, I wouldn't do such a thing to the corpse. I haven't seen it for so many years as a policeman. Treat people like this. "

Zhang Heng said nothing, he tilted his head, silently looked at the scratches, then looked down, and finally came to the position of the abdominal cavity.

The womb is a very special place. It is the origin of human life. The fetus was born here. It can be seen that this serial killer also has a special interest in the organs unique to this woman. In the first murder, the victim was only The throat was cut, and dozens of knives were in the body at the same time. Then the second victim's abdomen was broken open, and the uterus was also wounded. When the third person went further, the murderer went further and cut away half of the uterus.

He's like an excited gold digger, walked into a huge gold mine, and dug into the desire of his heart and body.
