v2 Chapter 257： Whitechapel serial murder

Zhang Heng tossed Holmes a half-pound gold coin, which was the gambling capital when the two previously made a bet.

The latter took the gold coin and put it in his pocket, and at the same time, a rare relaxed smile appeared on that angular face, "Don't be discouraged, my oriental friend, your progress has been great compared to a few months ago. , But like I said, what you lack is just an 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. "

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

"This is also something I've always been interested in." Holmes shuffled the remaining sandwiches into small strips and threw them to the pigeons not far away. "You seem to be obsessed with overtaking or defeating me. Me, does this matter mean anything to you? "

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

Sherlock Holmes smiled. "You are really flattered by what you say. My friends in the East liken me to the highest mountain in this field."

Just when Zhang Heng thought that this guy had changed sex, he listened to the latter and added, "Although I can't find any better person in this industry than me."

"........."

Zhang Heng wanted to defeat Sherlock Holmes, of course, not for the conquest of men, but because the main task is so, this is the Kaner he can't step forward. Speaking of him, he has been in this copy for more than a hundred days. Fortunately, the extra 24 hours of his game began to take effect, which provided him with an additional 240 days of play time. However, in so many cases, he still could not beat Sherlock Holmes even once.

This great Victorian detective is indeed well-deserved.

However, stripping away many auras of Holmes, the cohabitation life during this time also made Zhang Heng realize a more real and three-dimensional Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes is also a person, not a god, but a person will make mistakes, have weaknesses, but must also get It is acknowledged that in the case of fair competition, it is also the home court of the other party. There is indeed a certain gap between the two.

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

Sherlock Holmes's pride makes sense. As he himself said, he is the well-deserved pinnacle of detectives in this era, but Zhang Heng on the other side is not weak either. The two men already have a lot in common. The ability to observe, excellent reasoning, and the same calm mind.

In addition, after so many rounds of copy experience, Zhang Heng was not the simple student before, and the gap is not insurmountable. He estimates that Holmes' criminal investigation skills are probably at the top of lv3, but when his skills broke through to lv2, with the help of Irene, there is probably no battle.

Zhang Heng estimated that the real competition would start at that time, but what he did not expect was that his chance came earlier than planned.

"Look at this news," Holmes passed the newspaper in his hand, with interest. "It looks like our boring life is over again."

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

Letters from the murderers of the Whitechapel serial murder provoked Scotland Yard, and the public hopes that the police will arrest the killer soon!

Seeing Zhang Ziheng's serial murder case, Zhang Ziheng could not help but think of a pending case that has not been detected in the later generations. When he read it, the newspaper's records overlapped with his memory.

What was the most famous case in London in the late 19th century? It was Jack the Ripper.

In just three months, a total of six female murders occurred in the Whitechapel area of ​​East End (five of them are generally thought to be related to Jack the Ripper). His method was extremely cruel, and the case was still pending due to lack of evidence.

So to this day, the identity of Jack the Ripper is still a mystery, and there are all kinds of claims. Unfortunately, because time is too long, there is no way to prove it.

However, if Zhang Heng remembers it correctly, Jack the Ripper started his activities in the fall of 1888, but now he is in the case of the blood word research in 1881. Zhang Heng had not expected that he would run into this seven years in advance. Famous murderer.

However, Zhang Heng immediately realized that this was probably an opportunity for himself.

Although a hundred years have passed, the interest of subsequent generations in the serial killings near the White Church in 1888 has not weakened, but has become stronger. Jack the Ripper is like a fiery ip, and there are a lot of things around , Related film and television novels are mushrooming.

Whether it is the police, detectives or fans from all walks of life, they have followed the clues in their hearts to find the true murder they have identified, but no one can convince them. Zhang Heng has also briefly understood some of these statements, which also means that at this time In the case, he and Sherlock Holmes finally got closer. Sherlock Holmes had a home advantage, and he had all kinds of weird conjectures in later generations.

However, Zhang Heng is also very clear that this round of copies will not be so simple.

Take the victims, for example, the age and names of the victims who were killed today are not the same as in the original case, which is quite understandable, because Jack the Ripper ’s goal is random in nature ~ www.novelhall.com ~ At the same time, because the time of the crime was seven years earlier, many people in the original case have not even started working in this industry, so they will not be killed again.

And the time interval between the murders was 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 is shaken by the murderer's arrogant attitude. Of course, more people do not think that this is what the killer himself wrote. At the same time, panic is spreading in the East. Women, especially women living alone who are engaged in a certain business, have begun their own lives. At the same time, the public began to complain about the police's unfavorable affairs.

No wonder Sherlock Holmes said that the boring life was over when he saw the news.

The two did not stay in the park. Holmes called the carriage for the first time. When he returned to 221b Baker Street, he saw two other carriages parked on the side of the road.

"It seems we have a lot of visitors today." Holmes knocked on the door as he said.

Mrs. Hudson opened the door, her face looked very embarrassed, and apparently she had never seen such a situation. She saw Zhang Heng and Holmes outside the door and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, you two will come back. I haven't seen so many policemen come to visit me in my life. Zhang I'm not very worried. He has always been a good and courteous man, but Mr. Holmes, wouldn't you have caused anything outside? "

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of work." Holmes laughed, and said, "And you can't really compliment your eyes, our Oriental friends are not as harmless as you say, Mrs. Hudson, You haven't seen him perform on the boxing ring. He is a real beast. "
