48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng threw Holmes a gold coin worth half a pound, which the two of them had previously bet on.

The latter took the gold coin and put it in the pocket, while that angular face revealed a rare and relaxed smile, "Don't be discouraged, my Eastern friend, you've made a lot of progress compared to a few months ago, but like I said, all you lack is an understanding of the city, and this kind of thing is not urgent, as long as you live in London for three or five years, similar experiences and common sense can naturally be made up for. ”

“But if you want to reach your level, I'm afraid it's not three or five years away.” Zhang Hengdao.

“It's something I've always been interested in.” Holmes broke the rest of the sandwich into tiny pieces and threw it at a bunch of pigeons not far away, "and you seemed obsessed with going beyond me or beating me. Does this matter mean a lot to you? ”

“For climbers, climbing the highest mountain peak should be everyone's dream. ”

Holmes laughed, “I'm flattered to hear you say that, my Eastern friend, compare me to the highest mountain in the industry. ”

Just when Zhang Heng thought the guy had turned, he heard the latter add, "Although I can't find anyone better in this line of work. ”

“ ………… ”

Zhang Heng wanted to defeat Holmes, of course, not for some man's desire to conquer, just because the main task was so, this is the one he couldn't make it to. Speaking of which, he has come to this copy for over a hundred days, the original game period has long passed. Good thing the extra 24 hours on him came into effect, providing him with another 240 days of game time, yet so many cases have come down that he still can't defeat Holmes even once.

The great detective of Victorian times is truly famous.

However, stripping Holmes of his many halos, this period of cohabitation has also made Zhang Heng realize that there is a more real and three-dimensional Holmes. Holmes is also a man who is not a god, but a man who makes mistakes and has weaknesses, but it must also be acknowledged that there is indeed a certain gap between the two in the case of fair competition and in the other's home.

But Zhang Heng doesn't think he really doesn't have a chance at all.

Holmes' pride makes sense. As he himself put it, he is the most worthy peak in this era of detectives' business, but Zhang Heng is not weak on the other side. They already have a lot in common, acute observation skills, excellent reasoning skills, and equally calm minds.

Beyond that, after so many rounds of replica experience, Zhang Heng was not the previous simple student, and the gap was not insurmountable. He estimated that Holmes' forensic skills were probably at the top of the LV3, but when his skills broke through to LV2, with Eileen's help, he didn't try to lose the power of World War I.

Zhang Heng estimated that touching the real competition would start then, but he didn't expect his chances to come earlier than planned.

“Look at the news,” Holmes handed the newspaper in his hand, with great interest, "it seems our boring lives are about to end again. ”

Zhang Heng picked up the newspaper and just stunned when he saw the title.

- The White Church serial killer wrote to provoke Scotland Yard, and the public looks forward to the police seizing the killer soon!

Zhang Ziheng, who saw the serial murder in the White Church, couldn't help but think of an unsolved case in future generations. If you read it again, the newspaper records coincide with his memory.

What was the most famous case in London at the end of the 19th century? Not Jack the Ripper.

In just three months, there have been six murders of women around the White Church in the East End of London (five of which are commonly believed to be related to Jack the Ripper), all of whom are women, the perpetrators of which are extremely brutal in their modus operandi, and the lack of evidence has kept the case pending.

Until today, Jack the Ripper remains a mystery, with all sorts of statements, but unfortunately too long to prove.

However, if Zhang Heng remembers correctly, Jack the Ripper started his activities in the fall of 1888, but now he is in the blood study case in 1881. Zhang Heng had no idea that he would hit this famous homicidal maniac seven years earlier.

However, Zhang Heng immediately realized that this was most likely an opportunity of his own.

Despite centuries of passing, the interest of future generations in the serial killings that took place near the White Church in 1888 has not diminished, but has grown stronger and stronger. Jack the Ripper is like a hot IP, surrounded by piles of related film and television novels.

Both the police, detectives and fans have followed the clues in their minds to find out who they believe to be the real killer, but no one can convince anyone. Zhang Heng has also briefly understood some of these statements, which also means that in this case, he and Holmes are finally drawn closer to the starting point, Holmes has the advantage of home, and he has all sorts of strange speculations about future generations.

However, Zhang Heng was also very clear that this round of copies would not be as simple.

In the case of the victims, it is understandable that the age and name of several of the victims killed today are not the same as in the original case, because Jack the Ripper's goal is random in itself, and because the crime was committed seven years earlier, many of the people in the original case will naturally not be killed again if they have not even begun to engage in the trade.

Moreover, the interval between the murderers' crimes was considerably reduced.

To date, however, three people have been killed in just half a month, and the newspaper has received its first letter, beginning with "Dear Boss”.

Scotland as a whole was shaken by the aggressive attitude of the murderer, of course more people did not think it was written by the murderer himself, while panic was spreading in the East Side, with women, especially those living alone in a certain profession, beginning to risk themselves, and the public beginning to complain about the disadvantage of the police.

No wonder Holmes sees the news and says that boring lives are about to end.

The two did not continue in the park, Holmes called a carriage at the first hour, and when he returned to 221B Baker Street, he saw two other carriages parked on the side of the road.

“Looks like we have a lot of visitors today.” Holmes knocked on the door as he spoke.

Mrs. Hudson pulled the door open, her face looked very sluggish, obviously she had not seen this situation, saw Zhang Heng and Holmes outside the door took a sigh of relief, “Thank God, you two are back, I have not seen so many cops come to visit in my life, Zhang I am not worried, he has always been a good and respectful man, but Mr. Holmes, are you not messing with anything outside? ”

“Don't worry, it's just some work thing.” Holmes laughed, and said, “And your eyes are truly uncalled for. Our Eastern friend is not as harmless as you say. Mrs. Hudson, you've never seen him on the ring. He's a real beast. ”
