48 Hours a Day

“Interesting.” Holmes closed the note in his hand, "Mark Cohen did have an issue with the goblins, so he brought himself into the character of Jack the Ripper to get pleasure, but he gradually lost himself. ”

“It is clear from his notes that he began to fantasize that the murderer was his own after the first murder, and by the time he saw the letter in the newspaper, Jack, the Ripper in his soul, had completely defeated himself, and eventually he had no idea who he was. ”

Zhang Heng had already come out of the other side of the iron fence at this time, moved his wrist and wrist, "and the uterus you retrieved from his residence, just a quick look to find that it was not human, he also had an alibi at the time of the first case, that night he was delivering a gorge, just find the one named Clarissa. ”

Holmes had a pipe and didn't know what to think.

It happened that Lestrade came running from the other side of the corridor. "I contacted several newspapers. The director meant to publicize this time, not just the police, but you, together as a special adviser at Scotland Yard, helped us solve this strange case...”

“Wait a minute,” Holmes said, interrupting the short sheriff's words, “we haven't caught the killer yet, let's not celebrate or anything, just make the real killer laugh in the dark. ”

“What are you talking about?” Lestrade is somewhat mysterious, "the prisoner has just confessed and described the process of his own assault. ”

“His assault process is based on newspaper reports that the uterus on the table was removed from the pig,” Holmes stretched a lazy waist, "Lestrade, I always thought you and Gregson were some of the best officers in Scotland Yard, and if you'd spend more time gathering clues instead of busy showing off your accomplishments, that's far from it. ”

The short officer shook his head, "I've been working at Scotland Yard for so many years. Whatever the case is, it's almost over. I think you're just a little worried. The reporter should be here in half an hour anyway. The director is going to see the queen in the early morning to report the good news. He will also tell the queen about your work and that of your Eastern friends here. ”

“Have you forgotten the Thames case so quickly? Are you going to cooperate with the media to bring out the real killer's code again, and the people won't have to pay the bill back?” Holmes shook his head.

“This is a matter that the Director has decided, and nothing can change.” Shorty officer, stand down, "unless you can turn me into another prisoner now. ”

And Zhang Heng suddenly said, “Can I meet Mark Cohen? ”

“You want to meet Mark Cohen? Well, that's not quite the rule, but I can still help you with that little favor for all the work you've done for the police this time.” Lestrade Road.

He took the two men outside the interrogation room where the doctor was being held, and said, "I've tried him once, I'm not going in, and I'm going to deal with the reporters. ”

When the short officer left, Holmes touched his chin and thought, "Don't you think Mark Cohen's psychotic abnormality was an accident? ”

Zhang Heng nodded, "It can be seen from his notes that he did have some mental illness, but I don't think it was by chance that his mental illness deepened during this time. The police were looking for Jack the Ripper, and he just came to the door. ”

“Interesting guess.” Holmes Road.

Zhang Heng noticed that the words Holmes used were speculation rather than reasoning, and Zhang Heng himself had to admit that, after both events, he also realized that it was almost impossible for him to defeat Holmes if he only gave him what Holmes gave him.

In the framework of the deduction, he could not play Holmes' lv3, and even if he tried again, he would only tie up with each other, so he needed to find another way to win this round of competition, in other words, he needed to be more aggressive and bold in the absence of evidence.

Holmes said it was a big taboo for detectives, because if they went the wrong way, they would probably stick their heads in the dead end, but now Zhang Heng's situation is different, because he only needs to win once, as long as the bet is right once.

And Zhang Heng is not completely blind.

He saw Mark Cohen sitting there in the interrogation room, who looked quiet and did have a few doctors' temperaments, except for those tiny, bulging eyes.

Zhang Heng sat across from him, "Were all three previous murders in Bai Church District related to you? ”

“Yes, I killed them.” Mark Cohen nodded without hesitation and admitted that he had a nervous smile on his face, "I love the way they looked at me the moment before they died, the purest fear of not doping any impurities… beautiful. ”

“Really?” Zhang Hengdao said, “Aren't you worried God will punish you? ”

Doctor Geisha moved his butt and looked a little angry, "God punish me? No, no, no, I'm just doing the right thing. Wrong with those women, God told me to punish them, they deserved it, I listened to God, his voice... it was always in my ear. ”

“Did you hear the voice of God? ”

“Yes, he said he would reward me and call me his son.” Mark Cohen was proud.

“One last question,” Zhang Heng stared at the female doctor's eyes, "which church do you usually go to for worship? ”

And yet Mark Cohen suddenly shut his mouth and stopped talking, staring into his tiny eyes and staring at the ceiling, as if a door would suddenly open to get him out of the world.

However, his move has given Zhang Heng the answer he wants.

Zhang Heng rose up and left, Holmes listened quietly all the way, didn't say a word until he walked out of the interrogation room and he said, “Interesting, so you suspect Father Jacob influenced his spirit? ”

Zhang Heng nodded, he didn't have time to answer. Instead, he hurried out of the station, waved a carriage, and Holmes followed him to the carriage, “Even if you suspected he needed to be in such a hurry, and my question was not over, there were only two priests in Sacred Heart Church, among them Father Matthew and Lady, I'm sure Father Jacob wasn't the murderer, so the question came, why did he convince the mentally troubled Mark Cohen that he was Jack the Ripper? ”

“I'm sure the real killer must have something to do with him.” Zhang Hengdao, “as for why I was so anxious, I was worried about the safety of a friend. ”
