“The only lesson humans learn from history is that humans don’t learn from history.”
"Only when a bloodshed that shocks the world and makes the management feel pain and fear can the situation of the poor improve."
Duke didn't want to dwell on this issue, and with Holmes beside him, some words were inappropriate to say.
Therefore, after he said the above two sentences, he immediately changed the subject and said: "We found key evidence, but it is strange, it seems like something the murderer deliberately left for us."
"provocative?"
Lu Li calmed down, turned his attention back to the case, and thought about the entrance exam.
At that time, Jack the Ripper was afraid that others would not know his identity, so he sent a malicious letter telling the police that he would commit another crime next.
The most important thing is that there is evidence on the letter, a blood-red mark, which became the key evidence against the painter Sickert.
"should be."
Holmes was well aware of this morbid psychology and deliberately left evidence to the police in an attempt to play a cat-and-mouse game.
At the same time, a word crossed Lu Li's mind: histrionic personality disorder.
If the criminal suspect is an individual or a small gang, then their own situation must not be very good. They are ordinary and ordinary, but they are extremely fanatical in their hearts.
Of course, it is also possible that the childhood was not happy, or even abused.
Can……
The perpetrators are likely to come from a pagan religion, a group of fanatical believers who would find it difficult to reason using conventional logic.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Li opened the evidence bag.
When he first picked it up, he felt that it was a book. Now that he looked at it, it was indeed true.
[July 3: I bought a ferry ticket to London and decided to leave this sad place. Before I left, I placed a heart-shaped stone in front of his tomb to commemorate the love I had.]
[July 6th: If it weren’t for the thick fog and rain that persist all day long, I think I would be naughty and try to forget the sadness... By the way, his distant cousin Jerry came here to visit. He is a handsome young man]
[September 2: This is the third week that my cousin Jerry and I were together. We went to Hyde Park with him]
[September 16th: I met some lively new people at the salon organized by Mrs. Ax, and their faces were even more attractive than Jerry’s.
[September 17th: I spent a very pleasant night with the boys I met yesterday. Actually, there weren’t many, just three, but these three poor little boys are really rare boys!
Absolutely right.
But to be gentle and approachable, I have to be Jerry’s little cousin. Although I feel a little guilty, I enjoy this feeling]
As the pages turned, Lu Li's expression became increasingly strange.
What was the murderer's intention behind leaving this diary?
Was it to tell the investigators that the victim was a prostitute who deserved to die, or something else.
[September 23rd: My little cousin found out about this. He didn’t make a fuss or leave. He just said he wanted to buy a property in Westminster so that I could go there when I missed him, but he won. Shy, about three thousand pounds, not much...]
[September 26th: Mrs. Ivens held a dinner party and met two playboys. My ancestors were once rich. I paid a high price for fun, but it was worth it for such a lively boy.]
Unknowingly, Lu Li had turned to the middle of the diary, which was also the last page with writing on it.
[October 2nd: Mrs. Ax said she was going to Whitechapel District to have fun. There were many cute boys there, and I was a little moved...]
Contemplation?
In the end, he was targeted by pagans and became a sacrifice to the evil god.
Lu Li checked the diary carefully. Apart from the cover being slightly damp due to water, there was nothing special about it, including the smell.
There is only a faint smell of powder and powder on it, as well as the unique fishy smell of the soil in Whitechapel District.
"Now it seems that the goal of paganism has been clear. They hate, no, need to kill women who live an unclean life and use them as ritual sacrifices."
Lu Li felt that it was inappropriate to use a word like "disgust" that contained strong personal feelings. Changing it to "need" might be more appropriate and more rigorous.
As he spoke, he handed over the latest news from Scotland Yard headquarters while the two were away.
After a while, Holmes agreed with Lu Li's statement that the cult was obviously carrying out organized and premeditated killings.
Otherwise, there is no need for them to go to such great lengths to specifically select one type of person to attack.
"It always feels like the ceremony is entering its final stage."
Looking at the diary in Lu Li's hand, Duke couldn't help but remind him: "This corpse is different from the previous ones. Although the skin and muscles in most areas of the body were destroyed, the face was spared."
A sketch was handed over by the police officer.
He is about thirty years old, with flaxen curly hair, and round eyes, as if he is still staring at death.
"That organization has noticed that someone is investigating and deliberately left clues."
"Does this mean that they are about to complete their goal, and they can't help but want to scream..."
The statement may not be appropriate, but Duke does feel that the organization's approach is very similar to that of a villain who deliberately leaves some clues, especially after referring to the previous examples, which can't help but create a sense of urgency.
Honesty dies because of no last hit.
And the villain dies because he talks too much.
Thinking of this, Lu Li said solemnly: "Let's investigate along this line."
"The facial features are well preserved. He is widowed and very rich. He has just arrived in London a few months ago. His social circle has also been clearly defined in the diary. I think it will not take long to find out his identity."
"In addition, pay more attention to Mrs. Ax and Mrs. Ivens. Being able to play with this woman, or even play with her, must be unimaginable."
The last words were addressed to Officer Wensley. He came back without success, but the search team did not withdraw. Several police sergeants were still searching along the canal with important witness and suspect Katie in custody.
After spending a few minutes quickly reviewing the diary, Wensley's expression became extremely complicated, and his words turned into a sigh.
“In the end, something was gained.”
"Now that the murderer has given the opportunity, we must seize it."
After saying this, the young and promising police officer seemed to have forgotten his fatigue, and he immediately organized people to investigate.
Due to the insufficient number of police officers in Whitechapel and the fact that it was too far from Westminster Abbey, it was the General Office detectives who were responsible for the errands.
At this moment, what Lu Li could think of and take action for was protection.
Mrs. Ax.
Mrs. Ivins.
To be honest, their level of debauchery in reality is absolutely jaw-dropping. Even if the upper class circles are inherently dirty, those two must be among the best.
"It would be unjustifiable if the heretics didn't attack these two noble ladies." Duke said frankly without hesitation.
"So, after confirming their specific addresses, let's stay nearby and keep in touch with the police station by phone."
