Chapter 517 Key Questions

"Noomi, I'm from Sweden," the girl replied, licking her lips.

Seeing that the other party was still a little uneasy, Zhang Heng took a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to her. The latter thanked her, but she didn't think of a question until she put the cigarette next to her lips, and said vigilantly, "You...how do you I know I smoke."

"This is a very simple question. Although you haven't smoked for a while, your teeth are yellowish, and there are small holes burned by soot on your clothes." Zhang Heng said, but he paused when he said this. After a pause, he realized that he had probably lived with Holmes for a long time, and now his way of speaking was more and more like the latter.

Of course, Sherlock Holmes was also influenced by him on the other side, and now he practiced rock climbing, and by the way, he also asked Zhang Heng for advice on fighting skills.

Laumi's exclamation brought Zhang Heng back to his thoughts, "Oh, what do you do, this observation is too keen."

"Detective." Zhang Heng said, "Actually, I came this time to investigate the accidental death of Bernice, oh, and the two before."

"Are you a detective?" Noomi seemed relieved, "No wonder you appeared there, but I heard from the man in the tavern that the police have already locked down the suspect, and they all said that the devil's good days are over. "

It is inconvenient for Zhang Heng to comment on this. This has always been Scotland Yard's usual practice. First release some vague scenes to stabilize the situation, because if you don't say that, you will face greater pressure from the public. , But in fact, only they themselves know how far the investigation has gone.

Therefore, Zhang Heng can only say, "I am just helping out. Before the murderer is actually caught, I advise you to pay attention to safety."

Laumi didn't care about this, "During this time, not only the girls in this industry are panicked, but also the number of customers has decreased a lot. Everyone hates that guy. Now it's not easy for me to get customers. How can there be so many air traffic control, of course, if everyone is as generous as you, our life will be much better."

Zhang Heng didn't say anything more, but chose to change the subject, "Do you know all three victims?"

Laumi hesitated for a moment, "As I said, prostitutes also have prostitutes. The first and third people are not familiar with me, but the second person, I live closer to her, and sometimes meet."

"Edna?" Zhang Heng quickly retrieved information related to the second victim from his mind, "What do you know about her?"

Noomi thought for a while, "I heard that she has an Indian boyfriend who works in a glass factory, but he is not nice to Edna, often drinks heavily, and beats Edna when he is drunk."

Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. This was a new clue. The police also found Edna's boyfriend, but they didn't know the latter's violent tendencies, nor did they know that there had been conflicts between the two, but Edna The possibility of Dena's boyfriend being Jack the Ripper is very small, because the police did a good job of their homework. On the night of Edna's death, Jack was fighting with people in the tavern, and there were more than a dozen witnesses.

But this is a good sign. It seems that his previous decision to contact prostitutes can indeed bring him help, so Zhang Heng continued.

"Is there any other information?"

Noomi shook her head, "Edna and I are actually not very close, and our understanding of her is limited. In fact, this industry is like this. Everyone usually has too much time to take care of themselves and has no time to take care of other people's affairs. Oh, yes, no Do you know if this counts... I heard that Edna had a child before she met her current boyfriend, but she sent her back to her hometown."

"Oh?" Zhang Heng was really interested this time.

Someone in later generations once summed up the common points among the victims of the Whitechapel serial murder case. Except that they were all prostitutes, most of them had moderate to severe alcoholism, had cohabitants, and had children .

In the three homicides that Zhang Heng is currently experiencing, although the names and ages of the victims have changed to a certain extent, the characteristics of alcoholism and cohabitation are still there, only the fact that they have children, the second victim are different.

But now the information provided by Laumi added this link.

Zhang Heng can now be sure that Jack the Ripper does not choose his targets just based on the difficulty of killing them. He does follow a certain set of strict guidelines when hunting, or at least in the early stage of committing crimes, his target They are all carefully selected, and he may relax certain standards after being forced to a certain level by the police later.

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

As Laumi said, even among prostitutes, there are territory divisions, and prostitutes in different territories are not familiar with each other, but the area where Jack the Ripper committed crimes is not small, let alone the second victim. Or Edna's child is not known to many people, or it only stays at the stage of rumors.

Prostitutes are at the bottom of society even in the Eastern District where fish and dragons are mixed. The men who live here need their services, but no one cares about what is outside of their bodies. Even if you see them every night, but for their Living conditions, family health, and relationships remain in the dark.

If a man had deliberately collected this information, it would be difficult not to attract the attention of others. Although the police officers at Scotland Yard are not as capable as Sherlock Holmes, they are not bad in terms of diligence. There is such a person, it is impossible not to be discovered by them.

interesting.

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

Seeing that Zhang Heng stopped, as if he was thinking about something, Lao Mi was a little apprehensive, and said, "Sorry, I'm rather stupid, and I don't have any friends. Could it be that I can't help you?"

"No, you've done a good job. Have you arrived at the place to eat? Let's have dinner first. After that, let's talk about your daily life instead of the murder case."

"My daily life?" Noomi was stunned. She has been in this industry for so long, and she has encountered all kinds of strange requests, but no one has ever been asked this most common question, but then she seemed to realize something , showing a look of sudden realization, "Oh, you want to hear me and other guests..."

"No, no, it's just your hobbies, the places you go every day, the people you meet, etc. I don't need the details." Zhang Heng explained that he just wanted to understand the group of prostitutes through Lao Mi living conditions, so as to find out the way Jack the Ripper chooses his prey.
