The piercing police whistle sounded closer and closer. The dwarf pulled Jack and left Whitechapel before the witcher arrived.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. They have been exposed. If they continue to stay, it will only increase the risk.
The dwarf didn't know what happened to Jack, but the cruel methods of the other party really frightened him. Killing the corpse and then disemboweling it couldn't really be called normal methods. Only a perverted murderer would do this!
On the way back, the dwarf had been wary of Jack, fearing that he might get angry and hurt someone. Fortunately, Jack, who was covered in blood and still clutching half of his intestines in his hands, sat there with dull eyes and remained motionless as soon as he got in the car.
Early morning, new experimental base.
"What? The witcher sent a team to protect the grocery store? Didn't that happen before?"
"I thought so too. I relaxed my vigilance and was almost discovered. It seems that Nicholas and the others have stepped up their vigilance." The dwarf said quickly: "Master, just Jack and I can't defeat the Demon Hunter team. Those who killed Nicholas von Manstein under personal protection, I can feel that they have opened the realm of immortality 24 hours a day."
"I can." Jack standing aside suddenly said.
The dwarf turned his head sharply, jumped like a dog whose tail was stepped on, and shouted: "Can you? What can you do? Kill an innocent woman? I haven't had time to tell you!"
"What happened?" Mr. Butler didn't know the situation on Jack's side yet.
"That's it, Master"
The dwarf patiently finished telling the story, glared at Jack fiercely, and then complained: "Those damn doctors must have installed the wrong soul in him. Look at the ghost he looks like now. Jack, can you take half of the soul in your hand?" Lost your intestines? That’s disgusting!”
Looking at Jack who was behaving strangely, Mr. Butler frowned deeply and asked, "Jack, are you feeling unwell?"
Jack shook his head: "It's not uncomfortable, it's just."
"Just what?"
"There is just a voice that keeps ringing in my head." Jack said: "The soul fusion is not complete enough. The new soul is a bloodthirsty madman. He hates women, especially prostitutes, because he is an orphan who was born and abandoned by a prostitute."
There were two voices in his head, which affected Jack's own will, which caused him to become ferocious. He dragged a prostitute to Whitechapel and then brutally killed her. This was not a good sign. Losing control was something the butler did not want to see.
"Your current condition is not suitable for performing tasks, so you should go and rest."
"I can." Jack didn't move: "Give me a chance, Master."
"Anyway, I don't want to go anymore!" the dwarf shouted before Mr. Butler could say anything: "I have been discovered by them. If I go any further, I will die!"
Mr. Butler also had a headache. Things were not going well. How could he explain to Colonel Moran?
Ma Wei, who is protected by a team of demon hunters 24 hours a day, is no longer a target that ordinary assassins can covet, unless
There is the blessing of external objects.
After pondering for a moment, Mr. Butler opened the drawer and took out an iron safe box on the bottom floor. After opening it, there were two palm-long daggers inside, which looked a bit like scalpels.
"Maybe this is tailor-made for you."
Hesitating, Mr. Butler looked up at Jack: "This is an extraordinary item sent from the headquarters. It is a weapon once used by the ghost doctor. It is very powerful, but it will affect the user's sanity. I have never taken it out. Since Jack, you That being said, I think this weapon is just right for you.”
Jack reached out to pick up the scalpel, but was stopped by Mr. Butler: "I must remind you that this weapon has been infected with the ghost doctor's will. Anyone who used it before will be affected by the ghost doctor, and the ghost doctor and your body His soul is the same, he likes killing and torturing.”
Mr. Butler doesn't know what will happen if Jack gets this weapon.
It might create a lawless monster, or it might completely split Jack's soul.
But Jack has already died once. His soul was wiped out by the Kungunir thrown by Ma Wei, leaving only fragments. Now, he is more like a murderer who has obtained the memory of Jack's soul than Jack. magic.
Under the nervous gazes of Mr. Butler and the dwarf, Jack picked up the two scalpels in the box. The moment his fingers touched the handles, two pieces of black mist like earthworms flew out from the handles and wrapped around Jack's palms. , got into his body.
Jack's face was expressionless, as if nothing had happened. He waved the scalpel and it felt very smooth. He nodded with satisfaction and inserted the weapon into his waist.
"Master, I will kill Nicholas von Manstein."
"Pay attention to safety and don't force yourself."
"yes."
Jack got an extraordinary item, a ghost doctor's weapon, which made the dwarf a little jealous, but he also got an extraordinary item rewarded by Mr. Butler. This time Jack went to assassinate Ma Wei, which in the eyes of the dwarf was a disaster.
Whatever, it's better to be dead.
In the morning, the sun rises.
The cool morning breeze blew into the kitchen, mixing with the noisy voices on the street. After Ma Wei cleaned up the charcoal ash in the stove, refilled the charcoal and lit the fire, boiled a pot of hot water on the stove and brewed black tea.
He woke up very early today, mainly because he didn't know what was going on. There was a lot of noise in the street. Ma Wei didn't like to join in the fun, so he got up and cleaned up, took back the newspaper that was wet with morning dew, and put it on the stove. While waiting, you can drink a cup of hot black tea and eat two butter cookies. After doing this, it's time for Yunia and the others to get up.
Soon the water in the pot boiled, and the scalding water rushed into the tea cup. The dry and curled tea leaves stretched out delicately in the water, and the mellow tea soup dripped out, steaming.
"What a beautiful morning."
After blowing on the hot air, Ma Wei took a sip of black tea, feeling the slightly hot tea sliding down his throat, moisturizing his dryness after a night. Then he ate a cookie that Yunia secretly hid on the top of the cabinet, not to mention how delicious it was.
Recently, Ma Wei discovered that Yunia likes to hide things, not to hide money, but to hide her favorite treasures such as snacks, such as the butter handmade cookies bought from the palace pastry shop the day before yesterday, Yunia I made a lot of noise and asked Ma Wei to buy a big bag. I ate a few pieces when I came back. Then I found a big tin can and hid it in the corner of the kitchen cabinet while everyone was not paying attention.
Ma Wei really didn’t know at first, but it was Muir who told him. Despite being curious, Ma Wei couldn’t figure out what Yunia was thinking. What was she hiding so well?
Is this a sign of insecurity?
Did someone sneakily eat her snacks before?
Mawei threw cookies into her mouth and thought: She is not guarding me, right? How much can I eat? Two or three pieces are enough.
As a person who doesn't like sweets, Ma Wei rarely eats biscuits and candies, that is, he only eats two pieces of cake when drinking tea. He doesn't touch them on weekdays, and it is impossible to compete with Yunia for snacks.
Besides, how could he not know what kind of character Yunia is? A few snacks, even if I felt a little distressed, I couldn't complain to him as my father.
It’s okay to ask or not when she comes. Who doesn’t have some secrets yet? Gotta give her some private space
Just when Mavey was thinking wildly, Edward flew into the kitchen through the window and turned into a human body. He glanced at the cookie tin on the table: "Isn't this the snack hidden by the goddess? Why did you eat it secretly? "
"Do you also know about Yunia hiding things?"
"Everyone except you should know." Edward said calmly: "The night before yesterday, she was tiptoeing to put the tin can on the cabinet. It took a lot of effort. I almost wanted to go up and help."
See it through but not reveal it. After Muir knew about it, he only told Marvey. Edward knew about it but didn't tell it. He didn't tell it until Marvey discovered it himself, mostly out of curiosity.
"Why did she hide the snack?"
"It's because of Muir." Edward said, "Didn't you notice that the food at home has been decreasing very quickly recently? Many of them were eaten by Muir, including many of the goddess's snacks."
Ma Wei frowned: "It's not a good thing to be too selfish. It's just a snack, and the shelf life is not long. Muir can just eat it. Can't he just buy it again?"
"The goddess hasn't accepted Muir yet." Edward said, holding a cup of blood that was just 'picked' in the morning: "Besides, the goddess's mental age is still a little girl. Father, when you were a child, weren't you selfish at all?"
Hearing this, Ma Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Yeah, who am I to say anything about her? When I was a child, I didn't like sharing things with others. Even if I didn't say it, I would feel uncomfortable in my heart."
"Not only that, the goddess also divided these snacks into eating times." Edward grinned: "What you are eating now should be the goddess's snacks from morning to noon. It is very annoying to have the plan disrupted."
"Is that so?" Ma Wei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Yunia, who was thinking about what to eat all day long, would actually plan snacks. It was really...
better.
"By the way, it was very lively last night." Edward suddenly said: "There were several groups of customers around the grocery store."
"Thief?"
"Two groups of thieves and one group of assassins were all dispatched by the demon hunters."
When he heard about the assassin, Ma Wei immediately cheered up: "The assassin came last night?"
"It's the dwarf I saw last time. He came, but he was scared away by the witcher before he could knock on the door."
Edward, who does not need to sleep and can distinguish human beings through his sense of blood, watched the show all night. Apart from the witcher, he is probably the one who knows what happened last night best: "And the Jack you killed, he was killed yesterday." Killed a prostitute near Whitechapel in the evening."
Jack, whose soul was wiped out by Kungunir, is essentially dead. He is not his original self at all, he just inherited some memories of his original self.
"Aren't they here to assassinate me? Why did they go to kill prostitutes?"
"have no idea."
"Let's go over and have a look."
After drinking the black tea, he realized that it was still early and it would be some time before Junia and Levin got up. Mavey decided to go near Whitechapel to see what happened.
Taking Edward with them, they left the grocery store through the main entrance. Whitechapel was very close to Flower Street, only two or three blocks away. When Mavey arrived, many people had gathered near the church, standing on the cordon set up by the police. Looking outside curiously.
Although there was a sign stating that no one was allowed to approach, Ma Wei still used his identity privileges to enter the crime scene. He didn't even need to reveal his identity. He just walked over and the police officers took the initiative to open the cordon to let him in.
The police have invited the demon hunter and Holmes to assist in the investigation. Seeing Mavey's arrival, Holmes nodded: "I was just going to find you."
"What are you looking for me for?"
"The murder happened near the grocery store. I suspect it may be related to the grocery store." Holmes said bluntly. He did not doubt that Ma Wei was the murderer, but he suspected that the murderer might be related to Ma Wei: "So I want to find out about the situation from you."
"Um"
After looking around, Ma Wei led Holmes towards a deserted place and whispered what he knew.
"Pretty much what Captain Marshall said."
Marshall was the captain of the Witcher team who was in charge of protecting the grocery store last night. When it was time to change duties this morning, the Tagis team took over the escort duty. Marshall, who was fine, told Holmes about the dwarf.
Coupled with the female witnesses last night, Holmes was already certain that the murderers were the dwarf and Jack. This was an extraordinary case and could only be handed over to the witcher.
While talking, Ma Wei and Edward also saw the disemboweled body of the woman behind the church. The strong fishy smell was extremely pungent and made people frown.
"How does it feel like being bitten by a wild animal?"
"According to eyewitnesses, the tall and thin murderer was cutting the body of the deceased with a dagger, using cruel methods."
Holmes said solemnly: "To be honest, in all my years of investigating cases, I have rarely encountered such a crazy murderer who dismembered the body at the scene of the crime. This is no longer a simple homicide, the murderer is enjoying the fun of killing. This Very similar to a murderer I once met."
"Is it famous?"
"The murderer of the Seventeenth Day Serial Murders, Ghost Doctor Doolittle." Holmes said, "You should have heard of him."
Ma Wei nodded: "Thirteen years ago, a murderer appeared in the Birmingham area. In seventeen days, he killed thirty-six people in a row. Each of the victims was disemboweled, their hearts and lungs were removed, and their skin, muscles, and The bones and organs were arranged as neatly as in a textbook, like cattle and sheep cut by a butcher in the market. The murderer turned out to be their family doctor, a highly skilled surgeon who was nicknamed the 'Ghost Doctor'."
"That's him." Holmes took a sip from his pipe and said faintly: "When he committed the crime, I happened to be abroad. When I heard about this incident and rushed back, he had disappeared. I have been looking for him for thirteen years. , but there is no news at all.”
"Maybe he is already dead. It is impossible for a perverted murderer like him to change his mind."
"I don't want him to die." Holmes narrowed his eyes and said, "If he dies, who will be responsible for the thirty-six lives?"
"I know Jack's location." Mawei said, "Should we deal with him directly?"
"Are you sure he is in the new experimental base?"
"I have to ask that."
Ma Wei knew the location of the new experimental base, but he didn't know if Jack was inside. He had to find Xiao Hei to confirm.
"He is here for you. He should be operating near the Whitechapel area. As long as the murderer's activity range is locked, the arrest will be half successful."
Holmes said solemnly: "If there is a chance to kill him, I will not let him go, but for a perverted murderer like him, I don't think he will stay in the base to wait for death."
"You want to use me as bait to lure him out?"
"That's right!"
