It was already dusk when the wagon arrived at the salvage site of the female body.

Gregson kept two hands to keep the body there, and they put the poor child on a blanket from the boatman, so that she didn't have to be exposed to the eyes of those idle guys all the time. What they can do now That's it.

The three stepped out of the carriage, and Gregson noticed that a reporter-like guy had arrived in the crowd, playing with a big camera.

"These guys, like fleas, can't get rid of them." Gregson muttered, not very happy, but this time the case has no clues. Maybe you can try to get the newspaper to find the victim. Family members, so he walked over to the reporter.

But Holmes on the other side did not rush to lift the blanket, but first talked to the police who found the body, and then wandered around for a while, then walked to the body in a hurry.

Zhang Heng has been covering his nose and looking silently.

The taste of the Thames is not very good. Before the 19th century, the river was clear and the fish and shrimp swarms, but after the industrial revolution, as the city expanded, a large number of factories were built along the river. Industrial wastewater and domestic sewage continued to flow. The influx caused the environment on the Thames to deteriorate drastically, and the floating garbage on the water surface has become a veritable ditch.

However, the government is clearly aware of the problems, and it has built interception-type underground sewage systems and a sewer that is parallel to the Thames. It tries to transfer the urban pollution to the downstream as much as possible. It must be acknowledged that this method has indeed played some role. effect.

Zhang Heng watched for a while, and like Gregson, he could see only a limited amount from this corpse.

Sherlock Holmes said it well, and his observation ability was also very good, but in the subsequent reasoning link, he needs to have sufficient knowledge to support it. In addition to Zhang Heng's lack of a brain case bank like Holmes, the biggest problem lies in his understanding of Victoria. In the era, the understanding of the city was limited to books and movies, or one or two BBC documentaries.

This knowledge may be enough as a layman watching a lively person, but it is obviously not enough to use this knowledge to solve the case.

For example, Holmes can judge the brand and origin of a cigarette by a person from the clothes or the ashes on the ground. Zhang Heng may also notice details that these ordinary people ca n’t notice, but he does n’t even know that there are What brand of cigarette naturally cannot complete the next reasoning.

Zhang Heng realized that he wanted to complete the main task. It was not an easy task. The competition between him and Sherlock Holmes was the most unfavorable thing for him. He was in the era of the other side. The copy of this round did not appear to be It was so dangerous before, but the difficulty was actually the largest of the copies he had ever experienced.

Fortunately, he has enough time to meet the challenge.

Holmes squatted on the ground and examined the body carefully. During that time, he took out the magnifying glass and checked the palms and hair of the lady, not even the nail seams. At this moment, he had no laziness before. , Looks like a well-trained hound, at the end he was almost stuck on the body, facing the face of the female corpse, his eyes moved all the way down, and he finally stopped for a moment on the neck of the latter .

Then he stood up again, patted the dust on his clothes, and asked Zhang Hengdao, "What do you see?"

"Well, it should be murder. The victim is a woman. She is 15 to 16 years old. She seems to be weak, and she may have a disease. The cause of death is not drowning, because her head was hit badly, and ... "The victim was likely to have been violated before his death."

"Not bad." Holmes smiled. "You're not a forensic doctor. It's not easy to see so many things. Take your time."

He was saying that Gregson on the other side had finally dealt with the reporter, took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and came over, "It's been talked about, that's the reporter of the" Echo ", wait for him Let's take a picture and post it on the front page, so if the child's family sees it, he should come to the police station to find us. By the way, how are you doing? "

"I don't know the child's name yet," Holmes said leisurely.

Gregson's emotions were a bit complicated. He heard both disappointment and faint rejoicing when he heard the words. He said, "Ah, this is also no way. In fact, I did everything I could before, but the victim was even clothes Nothing left. It's too difficult to find clues. It seems that we have to wait for the letter from the newspaper. "

"It doesn't have to be ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Holmes looked so funny, he lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and dispelled the smell floating on the river.

The sheriff heard the words and was there. "How do you say that?"

"If I were you, I would send someone to investigate the John Textile Mill, one mile upstream, where the child works. In addition, the killer is a man and an acquaintance of this child, but he has always had It ’s incredible. He is six feet tall, strong, and has scratches on his body, especially his arms. "

After Holmes had finished speaking, he resumed the lack of interest. To Zhang Hengdao, "Let ’s go, our work is done, it is just too late. How about going to dinner together? Just go to Houben Restaurant, The ham there has always been my favorite. "

"Respect is better to obey." Zhang Hengdao.

"We call the carriage ourselves, so you don't bother you to send us over again, sheriff." Holmes then said to the stunned Gregson, "What are you still standing for, now that you have the clue you want, Now, go and solve the case. "

…………

After half an hour, Zhang Heng and Holmes were sitting at Houben's dining table.

The waiter poured red wine before the meal for the two. The tragedy that happened on the Thames before was also diluted by the sound of the music.

Holmes held a wine glass and looked at Zhang Heng with interest, as if he had discovered something interesting. After a while, he said, "You are really able to calm down. I am more and more interested in you. , But that ’s okay. It ’s still a while before serving. If you have any questions, I ’ll know everything and everything. ”

"Then I'm welcome. How did you reason about where the girl works, and how do you know the general characteristics of the killer?" Zhang Heng asked at last.
