Chapter 512

Zhang Heng threw Holmes a gold coin worth half a pound, which was the money they had wagered before.

The latter took the gold coin and put it into his pocket. At the same time, a rare relaxed smile appeared on his angular face. "Don't lose heart, my Oriental friend. Compared with a few months ago, you have made great progress, but as I said, what you lack is your understanding of the city. This kind of thing is not urgent, as long as you live in London for three or five years Similar experience and common sense can naturally make up for it. "

"But to reach your level, I'm afraid it can't be achieved in three or five years." Zhang Hengdao.

"It's something I've always been interested in." Holmes broke the remaining sandwiches into small strips and threw them to the pigeons nearby. "You seem to be very determined to surpass me or defeat me. What's the significance of this to you?"

"For climbers, climbing the highest mountain should be everyone's dream."

Holmes laughed. "I'm flattered that you say that. My Oriental friends compare me to the highest mountain in the industry."

When Zhang Heng thought that this guy had changed his mind, he listened to the latter and added, "although I really can't find anyone better than me in this field."

“…………”

Zhang Heng didn't want to defeat Sherlock Holmes for the sake of a man's desire to conquer. It was just because the main task was like this. He couldn't get past it. It has been more than 100 days since he came to this copy, and the original game deadline has already passed. Fortunately, the extra 24 hours on his body began to take effect, providing him with another 240 days of game time, However, in so many cases, he still failed to beat Sherlock Holmes even once.

This Victorian detective really deserves his reputation.

However, taking away the aura of Sherlock Holmes, the cohabitation life during this period also made Zhang Heng realize a more real and three-dimensional Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is also a human being, not a God, but a human being who will make mistakes and have weaknesses. However, it must be admitted that in the case of fair competition, they are at each other's home court, and there are certain differences between them The gap.

But Zhang Heng doesn't think he really has no chance at all.

Holmes' pride is reasonable. As he said, he is the highest peak in the detective industry in this era, but Zhang Heng on the other side is not weak either. They have a lot in common. They have keen observation ability, excellent reasoning ability and the same cool head.

In addition, after so many rounds of training, Zhang Heng is not the only student before, and the gap is not insurmountable. He estimates that Sherlock Holmes' criminal investigation skills are probably at the top of LV3, but when his skills break through Lv2, with Irene's help, he will not have the strength of the first World War.

Zhang Heng estimates that the real competition will start at that time, but what he didn't expect is that his opportunity came earlier than planned.

"Look at this news," Holmes said with great interest, handing over his newspaper. "It seems that our boring life is coming to an end again."

Zhang Heng took over the newspaper, but when he saw the title, he was stunned.

A letter from the murderer of the White Chapel serial murder case provokes Scotland Yard, and the public hopes that the police will arrest the murderer as soon as possible!

Seeing the serial murder of Bai church, Zhang Heng can't help thinking of a unsolved case in later generations. When he reads on, the newspaper records coincide with his memory one by one.

What was the most famous case in London at the end of the 19th century? Jack the Ripper.

In a short period of three months, there were six female murder cases in the area of white church in the east end of London (five of which were usually considered to be related to Jack the Ripper). The identity of the victims were all prostitutes, and the perpetrators were extremely cruel. At the same time, due to the lack of evidence, the case has been pending.

So until today, Jack the Ripper's identity is still a mystery, there are all kinds of statements, but it is too long to prove.

However, if Zhang Heng remembers correctly, Jack the Ripper started his activities in the autumn of 1888, but now he is in the year of 1881 when the blood character case was studied. Zhang Heng did not expect that he would run into this famous murderer seven years in advance.

However, Zhang Heng immediately realized that this might be an opportunity for himself.

Although a hundred years have passed, the interest of later generations in the serial homicide near the White Chapel in 1888 has not weakened, but has become stronger and stronger. Jack the ripper is like a hot IP. There are a lot of movies and novels around him.

No matter the police, detectives or fans, they have been chasing the clues in their minds to find the real murderer, but no one can convince anyone. Zhang Heng also has a brief understanding of some of the statements, which also means that in this case, the starting point of him and Holmes has finally been drawn closer. Holmes has home advantage, while he has all kinds of strange conjectures of later generations .

But Zhang Heng is also very clear, this round of copies will not be so simple.Take the victims as an example. The age and names of the victims are different from those in the original case. It's easy to understand that Jack the Ripper's goal is random. At the same time, the time of committing the crime is seven years ahead of schedule. Many of the victims in the original case have not even started to work in this industry, so they will not be killed again.

Moreover, the time interval between the murderer's crimes has been significantly shortened.

But so far, three people have been killed in just half a month, and the newspaper has also received the first letter starting with "Dear boss".

The whole of Scotland was shocked by the murderer's arrogant attitude. Of course, more people didn't think it was written by the murderer himself. At the same time, panic is spreading in the east side. Women, especially those who live alone and are engaged in a certain business, begin to worry about themselves. At the same time, the public also begins to complain that the police are not good at doing things.

No wonder Sherlock Holmes said that his boring life was coming to an end when he saw the news.

They didn't stay in the park any longer. Holmes called a carriage at the first time. When he got back to 221B Baker Street, he saw two other carriages parked by the side of the road.

"It seems that we have a lot of visitors today." As he spoke, Holmes knocked on the door.

Mrs. Hudson opened the door. Her face was very worried. Obviously, she had never seen such a situation. Seeing Zhang Heng and Holmes outside the door, she sighed with relief. "Thank God, you two are back. I haven't seen so many police visiting in my life. I'm not very worried about Zhang. He has always been a good man who abides by the law and is polite But Mr. Holmes, you're not going to get into trouble outside, are you

"Don't worry, it's just something at work." Holmes said with a smile, and then added, "and your eyes are really not flattering. Our Oriental friends are not as harmless as you said. Mrs. Hudson, you have never seen his performance in the ring. He is a real beast."
