48 Hours a Day

After his visit to Holmes, Mr. Deputy Director left in a hurry to continue to cope with pressure from the media and Parliament, while others returned to their respective jobs, leaving only Lestrade as an escort.

While solving serial killings in the White Church is now a top priority for the police, it does not mean that other jobs and cases can be completely abandoned. As the largest city in Europe and the world, police work here is not easy at all. Especially now, because the murders in the White Church have made many of the otherwise untrue people feel foolish and, combined with the growing panic among ordinary people, police officers throughout London have now cancelled their leave.

Lestrade has been following the first murder since its inception, and he is also the most knowledgeable person in the round, leaving him to cooperate with nature is the most appropriate option.

The three men stepped out of the carriage, not far from the morgue, and to date three women have been killed, ranging in age from 34 to 50. The bodies of the first two victims have been handed over to their family and friends for burial, while the third was killed two days ago, plus no family members, and the bodies are still there.

Holmes was about to enter the door, but Zhang Heng stopped him, who told Lestrade, "Can you give us a moment? ”

The short officer made a gesture and then walked aside and waited patiently.

Zhang Heng said, “This case… I hope the two of us can solve it separately. ”

“Oh?” Holmes' face revealed a rather intriguing glimmer, “he asked. ”

“I want to verify what I learned during this time.” Zhang Hengdao.

Holmes looked into his eyes and Zhang Heng didn't know if they saw anything from it, but eventually Holmes just laughed and said, "Well, it would be even more interesting to have you on board, so this time we'll bet on who caught the killer first, the loser will have to offer two drama tickets to Queen's Theatre. ”

“… have you been addicted to opera lately?” But Zhang Heng didn't hesitate, so he agreed to the bet with pleasure.

The conversation between the two took less than a minute and was followed by a call back to Restaurant, where the latter began introducing the case.

“The deceased's name is Bernice, 46 years old, and, like the other two, is also the lowest geisha living in the East End. Her body was found in the fence behind the cheap apartment where she lived, and the first person to find her was a driver named Slater, who basically ruled out the suspicion. ”

The short officer lifted the shroud and continued, “The time of the incident, according to forensic sources, was around 5: 00 a.m., fatally wounded in the neck, cut open by a sharp blade, with the same technique as the other two murders we encountered earlier, and also tragically cut into the abdomen of the murderer after his death. When the driver found her, a section of his intestine was thrown onto his right shoulder. ”

Lestrade said while giving Holmes and Zhang Heng a photograph of the scene, "But the difference is that some of her uterus and abdominal masses were also cut off, which is the most confusing part of us, and I have no idea what the killer was doing with these masses. ”

Holmes' eyes lit up, but he wasn't in a hurry to say anything. Instead, he asked Zhang Hengdao beside him, “Are you coming or should I? ”

“You go ahead.” Zhang Heng is still looking at those photographs, including the two people who were killed before. He looked very carefully and tried not to let go of any detail, while also confirming each other with some inferences from future generations.

Zhang Heng knew that it was not very realistic to win a duel with Holmes on the basis of LV1's forensic skills alone. In this round of competition, he had little room for error. It was also a more tricky option to let Holmes play first, but he could also observe where Holmes observation was focused.

The big detective was completely unintended, and the rumor came out of his pocket, the magnifying glass he often used, and walked up to the body.

His whole person quickly incarnated into a agile hound, moving around the magnifying glass and putting his face on the body despite the unpleasant smell... Five minutes later, Holmes retracted the magnifying glass satisfactorily, indicating that it was Zhang Heng's turn.

Zhang Heng took a deep breath and walked to the corpse. Over the past few months, his gains have been considerable. As an investigator, he has made significant advances in forensic anthropology, forensic anthropology, and wound examination, so that he can get more and more information from a corpse.

Zhang Heng first noticed a poor alcoholic taste in the air, then he also found the victim's skin reddened, which was caused by dilated capillaries, combined with the previous alcoholic taste, indicating that the victim had a long habit of drinking alcohol. Then Zhang Heng noticed the fatal wound at the neck, which was obviously not only cleaved by one knife, the killer had a heavy hand, but also cut many knives, almost completely cutting off the victim's head.

Besides, beneath those wounds, there are obvious strangulation marks on the neck, Zhang Heng wrinkled his eyebrows. From those marks, it doesn't look like a rope, it's not a palm, more like a handkerchief? Zhang Heng remembered that Jack the Ripper was a woman, but it was too early to make the assertion with just one handkerchief.

Zhang Heng remembered Holmes' warning that detectives need to remain absolutely rational and objective when handling a case. Never be preconceived. The deduction method is reasoning, but this reasoning is more like using clues to shrink the collection, eventually finding the answer process. Once there is a subjective bias, then when gathering evidence, they will unconsciously be biased, and will most likely walk further along the fork.

Zhang Heng then set aside the information currently found and continued to check it.

In addition to the wounds on the abdomen and neck, the face of the victim was also painted.

“I can see the guy really hates the gorge.” Lestrade sighed beside him, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have done such a thing to a corpse. I've been a cop for years, and I've never seen anyone treat a corpse like that. ”

Zhang Heng couldn't resist, he leaned over his head, silently detailing the scratches, then looked down and finally came to the abdominal cavity position.

The uterus is a very special place, the origin of human life, where the foetus was conceived, and it can be seen that this serial killer also had a unique organ affair with this woman. In the first murder, the victim was merely slit throat, with dozens of knives in his body, and then the abdomen of the second victim was torn open and the uterus was stabbed, and to a third person, the murderer went further and cut half the uterus.

He, she was like an excited goldsmith, walking into a huge gold mine, digging a little bit of her inner desire.
