V1.Chapter 18

A newspaper reporter claimed that George Lasker, the leader of the Eastern District Civil self defense force and a well-known man, was strong, ruddy and six feet tall. He had an elegant posture that he didn't care if the sky fell.

However, at this moment, he stood in his lobby and applauded.

Lu Li thinks this guy is a rare beast with extremely unique taste.

Wearing a multicolored camouflage jacket, corduroy pants and high leather boots, Mr. Lasker also hung a huge revolver on his ass with a belt, just like going to the battlefield.

However, the most wonderful thing is that he stuffed a colorful emerald scarf into his jacket.

By magic, the three people sitting on the sofa thought of a word at the same time: British farmers.

"If the goods are accidentally caught by the enemy when they go to the battlefield, they will probably be released, because they will think they have caught a farmer."

Duke, who was more jumpy, muttered softly. Previously, he heard passers-by say that George Lasker was a heroic commander.

However, he is completely inconsistent with the description.

"Hello, I'm Lu Li, from Baker Street. I've previously served as a special adviser to Scotland Yard."

Joking is joking. Mr. Lasker set up the civil self defense force and called on legally armed men to stand up and protect women. His every move is really admirable.

Therefore, Lu Li quickly got up and said hello to him, and Duke also introduced himself: "good day, I'm Duke, a medical professor of King's college, who once provided the most professional autopsy report for the police."

In fact, these words were discussed in advance by the two people. After all, only by showing their own value can they have the confidence to strive for more voice.

You know, it's really uncomfortable to be kicked away halfway through the case.

"I've heard a lot. When you two came, the servant sent a car to inform me," he said. He walked quickly, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand and shook them heavily.

Then he hugged Conan Doyle, obviously having a very deep friendship.

"Frankly speaking, even if you two don't come, I'm going to go to the west side myself and tie you up."

As far as the current situation is concerned, Mr. George Lasker is warm and does not put on airs at all. After a few polite words, he sat on the sofa with Lu Li and complained: "I have heard about you. Scotland Yard is really not authentic. I have informed several members of Parliament and asked them to impeach Harvard Vincent for inaction in Parliament."

Between words, there is a sense of common hatred.

"Anyway, catching the murderer as soon as possible is the most critical place, so we two would venture to visit."

As the leader of the duo, Lu Li took the initiative to show his attitude, and then raised his eyes to George.

"Yes, every member of our Eastern District Civil self defense force thinks so." the well connected middle-aged man finally gave up his social language and said frankly: "in that case, I'll send someone to inquire about the painters and doctors in the eastern district. How about starting the investigation tonight?"

"It is really important to make full preparations before launching the operation." Conan Doyle lit his pipe and took time to mention it.

"Also... Let's wait."

After hearing the speech, Duke nodded and survived the initial panic stage. He became calm and rational. After all, it was urgent to investigate the case.

Although it's not human to say so, the more victims, the easier it is for the murderer to expose his identity.

Besides, Jack the Ripper announced that he would kill two migratory warblers tonight.

The difficulty is not small.

Thanks to the hype of the newspapers, Jack has become a household name, which can almost stop children from crying.

Tonight, in East London, including Whitechapel, there will be hundreds of police patrols with police dogs, and countless people familiar with the terrain will stand guard at the entrance of each alley.

In this case, as long as he dares to kill, he will face the end of being searched and arrested by the whole city.

"Doctor, painter and barber, please focus on these three professions."

After talking with Mr. Conan Doyle, Lu Li had more confidence in his heart. After that, he added: "by the way, please don't ignore any suspect because of his age. The identity of a notorious thug like Jack must exceed the cognition of normal people."

"Yes."

George Lasker was very pleased. He had foreseen that the eastern civil self defense force caught the murderer in front of Scotland Yard. The whole city residents chanted "hang the villain, frustrate the bones and ashes."

Then there was a dispute among the demonstrators because some people felt that hanging was not enough and that the murderer should be tortured with the oldest criminal law.

Finally, it converged into one voice: Jack the Ripper can't die too happily, and himself, Lu Li and Conan Doyle, including Duke at most, will become a real hero.

Thinking of this, George became very excited. He waved his assistant over, ordered a few words to his face, and then invited Lu Li and others to the restaurant to chat for a while, and immediately tasted the craft of French cooks.

Soon, the golden goose residence became lively, and the air was filled with all kinds of fragrance.

Several kitchen assistants are cleaning silver plates, fruits and vegetables; The chef is carefully handling the textured beef on the table; The waiter in a tie is laying flannel on the table.

Finally, as the owner, George Lasker opened a bottle of red wine and said proudly, "Lafite in 1787 has a history of 100 years."

"Gentlemen, let's pray together and thank the Lord for his gift."

Under his leadership, Lu Li and Duke decided to do as the Romans do. According to the prayer in memory, they held hands and whispered:

"Thank the heavenly father for his care, conservation and gift all day.

On this day, if words and deeds offend the heavenly Father, please forgive and cover it with the Lord's precious blood. Please protect my sleep and rest at night. I am willing to lie in my mother's arms and in your arms like a weaned child. "

Just in time, a team of attendants brought up a sumptuous dinner, including dry fried sole, stewed veal in white sauce, roasted Camembert cheese, crispy onion soup

Lu Li looked at Duke quietly. Sure enough, the guy was secretly swallowing.

However, when he noticed that someone was looking at him, Duke quickly restrained his mind and said with a voice: "please protect me from the horror of the night or the flying arrows of the day."

"Lord Almighty, please keep me from thinking... I declare in the name of the Lord to reject the spirit of fear, the spirit of fear and the spirit of deception.

These prayers and announcements, in the name of the Lord, Amen! "

Then, there was a lot of noise outside the residence. Someone was howling loudly. It seemed that he had witnessed something terrible.

Bang!

The gate was knocked open.

Earlier, the servant who had received Lu Li rushed in with a blood stained package and staggered.

This is a package from an unknown source. Among them is a person's kidney. The sender wrote in the attached letter:

[what I share with you is the kidney cut from a woman. The other half has been fried and eaten. It's very delicious. I'll give you a sharp blade full of blood soon.
