but…

"Did you promise too readily..."

"Officer Lestrade, don't you want to know why I did this?"

The other party agreed so readily that Lin Xinyi was not used to it.

If it was the professional supporter of the Mumu Police Department, he should pick up his words at this time and ask him about his reasoning.

And this Officer Lestrade...

"Master, what you say is what you say."

"I'll just do it."

He was completely in a state of fanatical superstition.

Lin Xinyi: "..."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you..."

He silently held back all the reasoning and analysis:

In fact, the clues are those few lines.

The few threads found under the hem of the dead Elizabeth's dress.

There is natural wool in these threads. The wool is soft, fine and slender, and it looks like it comes from a high-quality sheep breed specially used to make fine clothing.

There is also natural silk, a more precious textile material.

And Elizabeth herself was only wearing poor-quality cotton clothes.

Neither of these textile fibers came from the deceased himself.

That can only be her contamination from other places.

The part that is contaminated with silk and wool is still the bottom of the skirt, and generally only the part that touches the ground.

So, something that contains these two textile materials and will be in contact with the skirt of the deceased...

"It's the carpet!"

The first thing Lin Xinyi thought of was the Persian carpet on the floor of the high-end carriage he had just sat in.

This precious rug is woven from cotton, wool and natural silk.

Just in line with the composition characteristics of both wool and silk.

certainly…

In addition to high-end carpets, there are also some expensive silk sheets that meet this feature.

But it is very likely that Jack the Ripper had approached Elizabeth pretending to be the benefactor before the incident.

His purpose was to abduct this poor woman and kill her.

So of course he couldn't have brought Elizabeth indoors.

Not to mention really "making a deal" with her, so that under her skirt, there is a chance to touch textiles such as quilts and bed sheets.

As for... Could it be that Elizabeth got these threads at her own house, or from other guests?

It's unlikely—

With the financial resources of her and her guests, I'm afraid they can't afford silk clothes, carpets and bed quilts.

So Lin Xinyi made a bold judgment:

"The textile that Elizabeth touched during her lifetime was the carpet in the high-end carriage!"

"She was once abducted by a murderer pretending to be a wealthy guest, and tricked into his carriage."

It is very likely that Jack the Ripper came out to commit crimes in a carriage.

This happens to answer another question:

That is, how should the murderer return to his lair after committing the crime?

You must know that every time he kills, he doesn't leave empty-handed. He always cuts open the stomach of the deceased and takes away a lot of organs.

These bloody internal organs are not easy to handle.

And the traffic arteries on the streets of London are patrolled 24 hours a day.

If Jack the Ripper was walking on the road in the middle of the night with such a "big suspicious bag", wouldn't he be afraid of bumping into a patrolling policeman?

There can be two explanations:

One, Jack the Ripper's lair is right around here, so it won't be too far to take the goods home.

Second, Jack the Ripper is familiar with the terrain, can fly over walls, and has the confidence to bypass the patrolmen on the street.

Three, Jack the Ripper has a vehicle and can hide his "loot" in the car.

If it is a normal reasoning, Lin Xinyi cannot rule out the first two possibilities at all.

but…

"But it's a game."

"If the first two cases."

"How can players find the murderer in just a few hours?"

I don't know how many houses and rooms there are in this block.

If it is really a door-to-door investigation, and the residents are called out one by one to inquire about the situation, even if the investigation is not completed next week.

The game cannot be designed in such a way that people can't pass the level at all.

Lin Xinyi thought over and over in his heart for a long time:

can be deduced from existing clues.

It also allows players to hope to pass the level.

There is only this possibility left:

"Jack the Ripper came out in a wagon to commit crimes."

"As long as you find the carriage, there is hope to find him!"

Chapter 486 The Master's Magic Potion

Although there are many residents in this block, they all live in the middle and lower classes of the city who basically cannot afford a carriage.

From looking for people to looking for a carriage, the job suddenly became much easier.

It was not long before Lestrade's order was issued.

The Scotland Yard patrols who were in charge of searching the block brought back the results:

"We found a total of 8 carriages."

"These are all vehicles stopped from the road after we blocked the block-according to them, they just happened to pass by this block and didn't know what happened here."

"Inspector Lestrade, at your order:"

"We brought all these carriages and their owners here, please take a look."

"it is good!"

Lestrade nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at the carriages gathered in front of him under the surveillance of the police, as well as the nervous and bewildered owners and drivers.

Then he turned his head and cast an expectant look at Lin Xinyi.

Lin Xinyi naturally took over the command, and continued to ask the patrol officer in charge:

"Are these carriages covered with Persian rugs?"

"This..." the police officer thought for a while, "It seems that there are carpets, but we didn't pay attention to distinguish whether they were Persian carpets or not."

"Okay." Lin Xinyi continued to ask: "Among these 8 cars, how many of them can only find one 'occupant'."

A gentleman with a carriage usually doesn't know how to drive himself, and it stands to reason that he has to hire a coachman.

So to find a carriage, in theory, you should find at least 2 corresponding occupants.

And the patrolman replied:

"There are no passengers in these eight carriages, and only the driver can be found."

"Some of them said that they were drinking outside alone at night and were going to drive back, and some said that they were going to drive to the bar to pick up work, and they hadn't brought any customers yet."

"Anyway, they were the only ones in the car—and none of them had sufficiently reliable alibi."

"I understand." Lin Xin nodded:

The only Jack the Ripper they saw in the "opening CG" was alone.

This may be the game designer hinting to the players that the mission goal "Jack the Ripper" refers to a specific person, not an organization or a gang.

And think from the experience and logic in reality:

Serial killers like Jack the Ripper usually commit crimes alone, and there are few records of gang crimes.

Because like this kind of pervert who likes to dig out the intestines...

It is really difficult to find like-minded accomplices who can commit crimes with them.

Originally, Lin Xinyi wanted to further narrow down the focus of the investigation based on the number of passengers on the carriage.

Unexpectedly, only one coachman could be found in the eight carriages.

"I'm afraid this is not a simple coincidence..."

"It's an 8 to 1 puzzle that the game deliberately created for me."

Lin Xinyi was even more sure that he should have guessed the mind of the questioner correctly and found the right direction to solve the question.

Then he calmly told the police officer:
