48 Hours a Day

“Loomi, I'm from Sweden.” The girl replied, licking her lips.

There was some unease when she saw him, Zhang Heng took a cigarette out of her pocket and passed it to her. The latter thanked her, and she didn't remember a problem until she put it on her lips, and cautioned, “How did you... know I smoked? ”

“It's a simple question, though you haven't smoked in a while, but your teeth are yellow, and there are small holes in your clothes that have been burned by ash.” Zhang Hengdao, speaking of which he paused himself, found himself living with Holmes for a long time, and now he is speaking more and more like the latter.

Of course, Holmes on the other side was also influenced by him, and now practiced rock climbing, and asked Zhang Heng to teach him how to fight.

Loomi's exclamation pulled Zhang Heng's mind back, “Oh, what do you do, this observation is too sharp. ”

“Detective.” Zhang Hengdao, "I actually came to investigate Bernice's accidental death, and, oh, there were two others. ”

“Are you a detective?” Loomi seemed relieved, "no wonder you were there, but I heard the man in the tavern say the police didn't lock the suspect up, they all said the devil's good day was over. ”

Zhang Heng did not find it convenient to comment on this, which has always been the usual practice in Scotland Yard, first releasing some ambiguous scenes to stabilize the situation, because if he did not say so, the pressure from the people would be even greater, but in fact only they knew that the investigation had taken place.

So Zhang Heng could only say, “I'm just helping out. Before the killer really falls off the grid, I'd like to advise you to be safe. ”

Loomi didn't feel comfortable about it. “Not only are the girls in this business panicked, but there are many fewer guests. Everyone hates that guy for itching their teeth. Now it's not easy for me to get to the guests. There are so many pipes. Of course, if everyone is as generous as you, our lives would be much better. ”

Zhang Heng did not say anything more, but chose to change the subject, "Do you know all three victims? ”

Loomi hesitated, "Like I said, a gorgeous woman is also a place with a gorgeous woman. The first and third people don't know me, but the second person, I live closer to her, and sometimes meet her. ”

“Adena?” Zhang Heng quickly retrieved information about the second victim from his mind, "what do you know about her? ”

Loomi thought about it, "I heard she had an Indian boyfriend who worked in a glass factory, but he wasn't good to Adena, he used to drink a lot, and when he got drunk, he hit Adena. ”

Zhang Hengyang raised his eyebrows. This is a new clue. The police also found out about Adena's boyfriend, but did not know about the latter's violent tendencies or that there had been a conflict between them. However, Adena's boyfriend was unlikely to be Jack the Ripper, because the police did a good job. On the night of Adena's death, Jack was working in a pub with a dozen witnesses.

But this augured well, and it seemed that his earlier decision to contact the group of gorges could indeed help him, so Zhang Heng continued.

“Anything else? ”

Loomi shook her head, "I'm not really familiar with Adena, and I know her only very well. In fact, this is the way it is. Everyone can't help themselves and take care of other people's business. Oh, yeah, I don't know if this counts... I heard that Adena had a child before she met her current boyfriend, but she sent her home. ”

“Oh?” Zhang Heng really came to be interested this time.

In future generations, people had summarized the commonalities between the victims of serial killings in the White Church, and the vast majority, with the exception of women, had moderate to severe alcoholism, cohabitants and children.

In the three murders that Zhang Heng is currently experiencing, although the name and age of the victim have changed somewhat, the characteristics of alcohol abuse and cohabitant ownership are still present. Only having children is different for the second victim.

But now the information provided by Loomi adds up to that.

Zhang Heng can now determine that Jack the Ripper is not just looking at the difficulty of picking targets. He does follow a strict set of guidelines when hunting, or at least in the first period of the operation, his targets were carefully chosen, and he may loosen certain criteria after being forced by the police to a certain extent in the later period.

So the question is, how did he get the information about the target?

As Loomi said, there is a division of territory even among the gorges, and the gorges are not familiar with each other, and the area in which Jack the Ripper operates is not small, not to mention the fact that Adena, the second victim, has a child, does not know much, or stays only at the rumoured stage.

Even in the mixed east of the fish dragons, the women are at the bottom of society, and the men who live here need their services, but nobody cares about anything outside their bodies, even if you see them every night, but they still know nothing about their living conditions, their family health, their relationships.

If men had knowingly gathered this information, it would be difficult not to attract the attention of others. The officers at Scotland Yard, although less capable than Holmes, were hard-working, and they were careful enough to find out that if such a person really existed, it would be impossible for them not to find out.

Interesting.

Zhang Heng realized that if he could solve the question himself, it might not be far from finding Jack the Ripper.

Looking at Zhang Heng stopped, he seemed to be thinking about something. Loomi beside him was a little grumpy and said, “Sorry, my mouth is dumb and I don't have any friends, can't you help me? ”

“No, you're doing great. Are you in the dining room? Have dinner first, then we won't talk about homicide, we'll talk about your daily life. ”

“My daily life?” Loomi was stunned, she did this for so long, the demands she encountered were strange, but nobody was asked this most common question, but then she seemed to realize something and reveal a glimmer of enlightenment, “Oh, you want to hear me and other guests...”

“No, no, no, it's just your hobby, where you go every day, meeting people and stuff, and I don't need the details.” Zhang Heng explained that he was just trying to find out the way Jack the Ripper picked his prey by learning about the state of life of the Buddha group through Loomi.
