Chapter 519

The Sacred Heart Church opened at eight o'clock on time. Father Jacob also prepared two baskets of white bread and distributed them to the vagrants nearby.

Zhang Heng and Holmes took this opportunity to observe father Jacob quietly.

"You were wrong." Zhang Hengdao.

"Impossible, even if there is a slight deviation in the details, it can't be so bad." Holmes said decidedly, but he also seemed helpless.

What they said was Holmes' inference based on the handwriting on the letter.

- "left handed, male, between 30 and 40 years old, not strong enough and unstable, and conservative in thinking."

Now it seems that, in addition to the male inferences, the left-handed inferences and the age inferences are not correct. As for the character is not strong enough and unstable, at the same time, the conservative ideological tradition can not be seen for the time being.

In addition, Zhang Heng also saw that father Jacob's left shoulder seemed to be injured, but it should be an old disease. He had been carrying the bread basket with his right hand, presumably because his left hand could not work. In addition, his hair was carefully combed. Although his clothes had a certain age, they were washed very clean.

He is like a standard clergyman, looking a little bit old-fashioned and dignified, but also full of love.

Sherlock Holmes and Zhang Heng look at each other. They both see the doubts in each other's eyes. When the investigation goes on, father Jacobs is undoubtedly the most suspect. However, when they really see a real person, Zhang Heng finds that father Jacobs is not likely to commit a crime.

According to Sherlock Holmes and his scene simulation, the murderer should have strangled the victim's neck with one hand and cut his throat with a knife with the other. Father Jacob's shoulder injury made Zhang Heng doubt whether he could do it.

So after Zhang Heng grabbed a vagrant who received bread beside him and said, "friend, ask you something."

"What's the matter?" The vagrant was a little wary and hid the bread in his clothes.

Zhang Heng took out a shilling, "is there anyone else in this church besides father Matthew and father Jacob?"

The tramp snatched the shilling and shook his head. "There was a young deacon before, but I can't stand the life in the east side. Now father Jacob is alone."

"Does he have any family?"

"No, the priest has been alone. He was in this church more than 30 years ago. He didn't get married or have no daughter. Er But I hear he has a cousin, but he's not in London The tramp said while looking at Zhang Henggang's wallet.

Zhang Heng knows what the other party is thinking. This is the east side. Although it's day, Zhang Heng has just given this guy a shilling, but that shilling obviously can't satisfy him. So Zhang Heng slightly opened some overcoats and showed his revolver around his waist.

That tramp immediately honest down, he realized that the guy in front of him is not a easy to get into the main, can only put away his stupid careful thinking, mouth mumbling left.

On the other side, Holmes has already gone to father Jacob.

"I've committed a crime, father."

"In life, everyone makes mistakes, my child." Jacob said, "the important thing is whether you are willing to repent."

"I want to repent for my sins, for my lies and wrongs These things torture me every day and make me feel guilty. " Said Holmes.

"Well, it shows that your heart is still bright." Father Jacob nodded. "Come with me, son."

So after Zhang Heng saw Sherlock Holmes with father Jacob into the confession room.

About a quarter of an hour later, Holmes came out again. Without waiting for Zhang Heng to speak, he shook his head and said, "you don't have to go, it's not him."

"Well?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"He had an alibi at the time of the first and third homicide." "Especially on the night of the first day, he was not in the east side, and the injury to his left shoulder was real. It was impossible to commit a crime with only one hand," Holmes said

"Conspiracy?" Zhang Heng asked.

"I can't completely rule out this possibility, but I asked him a few suggestive questions in the conversation. From his answers, I can't see that he has any extreme hatred towards those prostitutes. Moreover, from the crime scene, I don't think there is any sign of collusion."

Zhang Heng is not too surprised by this answer. He just asked casually that serial killers are collusive. No matter why they set foot on this road, they obviously want to play the role of God in their own world. However, there is only one God.

Holmes didn't get discouraged. Looking at his appearance, he was not disappointed. He said, "this proves that there is no problem in my previous description of the murderer. Next, I just need to find more clues. There is no problem in your general direction. As long as we can find the intersection of the three victims, the murderer is among them."

"I hope we have enough time." Zhang Hengdao.…………

Although the way to the church didn't go through, it did bring a lot of inspiration to Zhang Heng. He soon turned his attention to the small clinic in the east side.

In addition to priests, there is another kind of people who can easily come into contact with these prostitutes without causing any doubt, that is doctors.

At the present time point, the famous fourth homicide case has not yet happened. In that case, the murderer opened the victim's abdomen and took away part of the uterus and kidney. All this was done in the dark. Because the police on patrol were very close, the murderer probably only took less than nine minutes, and the technique was neat, so it was also unusual at that time Few people suspect that the killer is a professional surgeon.

It's just that loumi is from Sweden after all. She doesn't fit in well with other prostitutes. She has limited knowledge of the three victims, and naturally doesn't know which clinic they usually go to. Zhang Heng can only find other people to know about this information.

Sherlock Holmes had already taken the first step, and Zhang Heng finally took a look at the Sacred Heart Church. It turned out that father Jacob's eyes just came to him from the church. They looked at each other. Then father Jacob nodded politely at him, picked up the mop and continued to lower his head and mop the floor.

Just like Holmes said, he has a quiet and steady power in his whole body, and Zhang Heng doesn't think that such a person will be related to the serial killers in the white church district.

He didn't forget his bet with Holmes, and he didn't stay here any longer. He went to the pub where there were more prostitutes.
