I Have 48 Hours a Day

"You asked a friend to help you stare at the Sacred Heart Church in the afternoon? Why, did you start to suspect Father Jacob at that time?"

In the carriage, Holmes seemed a little surprised.

"No, I didn't doubt Father F. Jacob at the time, and it wasn't just for the Sacred Heart Church," Zhang Heng shook his head. "You said before that the source of the letter was the church, although in the morning we excluded Ya The suspicion of Father Kubu, but I did not completely give up this clue, but let a friend help me to investigate a few churches in the Whitechapel District in detail. In order to facilitate the identification of the church ’s attitude towards the witch, she also made up herself Become a witch. "

"Is this Miss Irene Adler?" Holmes's face was clear, "She's really above me when it comes to makeup."

"Yes." Zhang Hengdao.

"You do seem to be very enthusiastic about this bet, but I must say something," Holmes said. "It is not wise to put a beautiful lady in danger, especially when the Whitechapel area is shrouded. In the shadow of the most terrible serial killer. "

Zhang Heng is also very frank, "The development of the incident did unexpectedly. I originally planned to meet with Mark Cohen after investigating it, but I did not expect to run into the police at Mark Cohen's residence."

Zhang Heng has been mixed with Sherlock Holmes in recent months. Police officers from Scotland Yards like Gregson, Restrid, etc. are more familiar with him, but the police at the bottom know him very limited. In fact, the bottom Police officers didn't know Sherlock either.

When Zhang Heng met two policemen at Mark Cohen's residence, he did not know his identity at all, and it was quite a while before the copy was over. Choose to hand over the weapon directly to him.

Originally thought that he would naturally meet acquaintances when he arrived at the police station, but when he told the police who took care of him about his situation, he caught up with Holmes and made jokes with him, and no one released him.

Later, after investigating Mark Cohen, Zhang Heng was free to meet with the female singer. At this time, it was completely dark, but the road accident happened and the cart collided with a fruit-pulling cart, the driver and the fruit farmer. After arguing there for a long time, Zhang Heng and Holmes had to change another carriage, and it was about nine o'clock at night in the Eastern District.

"Did you and her agree to meet here?" Holmes asked after getting off the car.

The two are now standing in a small square, which is a relatively prosperous place in the Eastern District, but the shadow of Irene Adler cannot be seen nearby.

Although Zhang Heng had been worried about female singers before, in fact Irene's situation was not as dangerous as expected, except for the increase in police patrols after the three murders, and because of the arrest of Mark Cohen, regardless of Father Jacob What's the relationship with Jack the Ripper, he obviously wanted to use Mark Cohen to replace Jack the Ripper. In that case, Mark Cohen was caught by the police, and Jack the Ripper should have been concealed.

But somehow, the female singer is still missing.

Is it because you waited too long to go home? This is not very easy to say, because Zhang Heng arrived hours later than the agreed time, after all, Erin Adler did not seem to be standing in a place silly and waiting.

However, with the cleverness of the female singer, there must be a way to notify Zhang Heng who came here even if she left.

Zhang Heng was now worried that Irene Adler was a little too smart, and discovered the abnormality of Father Jacob, and traced it all the way to startle the latter, so he didn't plan to wait any longer.

The Sacred Heart Church was closed at 8 o'clock, and Father Jacob lived in a cottage behind the church. Zhang Heng and Holmes rushed there, but the room was dark from the window. Zhang Heng flipped the window, Holmes walked through the main entrance, and the two surrounded the hut, but there was no one inside after entering.

There was only an old dog lying on the floor, but it was so old that it was almost impossible to move. When it saw a stranger breaking in, it didn't even bark.

Holmes lit a candle, and by the candlelight they quickly glanced around the situation.

Unlike Mark Cohen's **** hut, Father Jacob's residence is a normal priest's residence, with simple decoration, and beside the bed is a Bible without knowing how many times it has been turned. There is nothing else to note in the outbuilding.

According to the witches' description, Father Jacob's usual life is also very simple ~ www.readwn.com ~ can even be called a stereotype.

He is either in the church or the residence, and he will hardly go anywhere else, so it is very unusual that the church is closed, but he is not at home.

Holmes walked around the kitchen half a circle, opened his mouth to think, but ended up not speaking.

And Zhang Heng was completely indifferent to the situation over there, with the disappearance of Irene Adler, and the return of Father Jacob, the two things happened together to make the situation a little worse.

In particular, the female singer was entrusted to this matter again because he was entrusted with it. If she encounters any accident, Zhang Heng will also find it difficult to forgive herself, so he must now find Father Jacob as quickly as possible.

However, Father Jacob is obviously much more rigorous than Mark Cohen. There is no mental journey on his desk. The only note is also related to theology.

The entire house can be described as leak-proof. Zhang Heng stood at the desk, closed his eyes, and opened his eyes again after half a minute, "Church."

"Ok?"

"Whatever the relationship between Father Jacob and the Ripper Jack, will not change the fact that he is a pious priest. Jack the Ripper receives information from him about those witches, but as a priest, I have an obligation to keep the content of the confession confidential. I don't think he leaked it intentionally. In this case, it should be overheard by Jack the Ripper, "Zhang Heng paused, and concluded," there is probably a secret room in the church. , Right next to the confession room. "

"below."

"Ok?"

"That secret room is not next to the confession room, but below, the underground of the confession room is empty." Holmes said, "This is what I found during the confession. The sound of stepping on the floor was obvious. I thought it was there. There's a cellar or something. "
