Chapter 522

"You asked a friend to keep an eye on the Sacred Heart Church for you in the afternoon? Why, did you begin to doubt father Jacob at that time? "

In the carriage, Holmes looked a little surprised.

"No, I didn't doubt father Jacobs at that time, and it wasn't just for the Sacred Heart Church," Zhang Heng shook his head. "You said that the source of the letter was the church. Although we ruled out father Jacobs in the morning, I didn't completely abandon this clue. Instead, I asked a friend to help me to investigate several cases in the white church area in detail Church, in order to facilitate the identification of those churches for the attitude of jinu, she also specially made up as a jinu

"Miss Irene Adler?" Holmes's face showed a clear color, "in terms of makeup, she is really above me."

"That's right." Zhang Hengdao.

"You do look very interested in this bet, but I have to say," said Holmes. "It's not wise to put a beautiful lady in danger, especially when the White Chapel area is under the shadow of the most terrible serial killer."

Zhang Heng is also very frank, "the development of things really surprised me. I planned to join her after investigating mark Cohen, but I didn't expect to meet the police in mark Cohen's residence."

Zhang Heng has been mixing with Sherlock Holmes in recent months. Scotland Yard police officers like Gregson and Lestrade are familiar with him, but the police at the bottom know him very little. In fact, the police at the bottom don't know much about Sherlock Holmes.

Zhang Heng met two policemen at mark Cohen's residence, but he didn't know his identity at all. It was quite a while before the copy ended, and Zhang Heng didn't want to turn over his weapon with Scotland Yard because of a little misunderstanding.

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

After the investigation of mark Cohen, Zhang Heng was free to meet with the female singer. By this time, it was completely dark, but on the road, a carriage knocked over a fruit pulling cart. The coachman and the fruit farmer argued there for a long time. Zhang Heng and Holmes had to change another carriage. It was about 9 p.m. on the east side.

"Is it here that you and she agreed to meet?" Asked Holmes as he got out of the car.

They are now standing in a small square, which is relatively prosperous in the east side, but there is no Eileen Adler nearby.

Although Zhang Heng has been worried about female singers before, in fact, Irene's situation is not as dangerous as expected. In addition to the increase of police patrol after three homicides and the arrest of mark Cohen, no matter what the relationship between father Jacob and Jack the ripper is, he obviously wants to use mark Cohen to replace Jack the Ripper If so, mark Cohen is caught by the police and Jack the Ripper should be hiding.

But somehow, the female singer is still missing.

Was it because I had to wait too long to go home first? It's hard to say, because Zhang Heng arrived several hours later than the appointed time, and Irene Adler didn't look like someone who would stand in a place and wait.

However, with the intelligence of the female singer, even if she left, she would have a way to inform Zhang Heng who came here.

Zhang Heng is now worried that Irene Adler is a little too smart. He finds something unusual in father Jacob and tracks him down all the way to disturb the latter, so he doesn't plan to wait.

The Sacred Heart Church closed at eight o'clock, while father Jacobs lived in a small house behind the church. Zhang Heng and Sherlock Holmes rushed there, but from the window, the room was dark. Zhang Heng turned the window, Sherlock Holmes walked through the main door, and they surrounded the small house, but there was no one inside.

Only an old dog was lying on the floor, but it was so old that it could hardly move. When he saw a stranger break in, he didn't even bark.

Sherlock Holmes lit a candle. By the light of the candle, they quickly scanned the surroundings.

Unlike mark Cohen's bloody cottage, father Jacob's residence is a very normal one. The decoration is very simple. Beside the bed, there is a Bible which has been turned over many times. Besides, there is nothing else to pay attention to.

According to the description of the prostitutes, father Jacob's daily life is also very simple and regular, even rigid.

He's either in church or in residence, and he hardly goes anywhere else, so now that the church is closed, he's not at home, which in itself is very abnormal.

Holmes walked around the kitchen half a circle, opened his mouth to think about something, but in the end did not open his mouth.

Zhang Heng, on the other hand, can't care about the situation there. Irene Adler is missing, and father Jacob doesn't come back. These two things happen together, which makes the situation a little bad.In particular, the female singer is entrusted by him to get involved in this matter. If she encounters any accident, Zhang Heng can hardly forgive herself, so he must find father Jacob as soon as possible.

However, compared with mark Cohen, father Jacobs is much more rigorous. There is no mental journey on his desk. The only note is also related to theology.

The whole room can be described as watertight. Zhang Heng stood in front of his desk and closed his eyes. Half a minute later, he opened his eyes again, "church."

"Well?"

"No matter what the relationship between father Jacob and Jack the ripper is, it will not change the fact that he is a devout clergyman. Jack the Ripper gets information about those prostitutes from him, but as a priest, he has the obligation to keep secret of the confession. I don't think he intentionally divulges it, so Jack the Ripper should overhear it Zhang Heng finally concluded, "there is probably a secret room in the church, just beside the confession room."

"Below."

"Well?"

"The secret room is not next to the confession room, but below it, the basement of the confession room is empty." Holmes said, "this is what I found when I confessed. The sound on the floor is very obvious. I thought there was a cellar or something there."
