Chapter 520 Notes

Zhang Heng didn't know where Holmes went again, but he found some prostitutes who had a good relationship with the previous three victims, and from them restored the activities of the three victims before their death.

Zhang Heng finally set his sights on a man named Mark Cohen.

He is a Jewish doctor active in the Whitechapel generation, but he is not a qualified doctor registered by the Central Medical Board. Of course, real qualified doctors rarely serve prostitutes.

Not to mention those pampered physicians, among the three grades, physicians have always been the first rank, claiming to be a gentleman class, but with the rise of surgeons and pharmacists, physicians are constantly losing their leadership, especially when After gradually transforming into general practitioners, pharmacists are working with surgeons to actively promote the reform of the British medical system and fight for more rights... But even if there are general practitioners, there are not many in the Eastern District, let alone the most Served by lowly prostitutes.

It is also because of this that there is a living soil for people like Mark Cohen.

In a sense, his role is similar to that of a general practitioner. He basically treats all kinds of diseases, and is also in charge of delivery and some gynecological diseases. This is why Zhang Heng focuses his attention on him.

The prostitutes' evaluation of him is more complicated. On the one hand, his fees are very low. Although he can't be called a genius doctor, he can still play some role. However, many prostitutes said that when they are with him, they feel It will be very uncomfortable, especially his eyes, when his gaze falls on you, it is like being stared at by a snake.

Zhang Heng inquired about Mark Cohen's residence and rushed there before sunset.

The smell here is not very good, there is a pigsty not far away, there are chicken manures everywhere on the road, women are washing clothes by the sewage, a few men with black faces should be boilers in a nearby factory The workers are coming from afar.

It didn't take long for Zhang Heng to find the apartment of the prostitute doctor, but when he knocked on the door, there was no answer inside.

Zhang Heng took a look at the lock on the door, and found that it was the simplest kind, which basically could only guard against gentlemen, so Zhang Heng glanced around again, seeing that no one had noticed it, he picked it up quietly with the knife he carried. He unlocked the door.

The smell inside the door was even worse than outside the door. It was a special smell mixed with sweat and rot. Zhang Heng frowned and pulled out the revolver from his waist.

As a result, I saw a pool of blood on the ground within two steps. There was almost no furniture in the apartment, only a bed, a wardrobe, and a dining table. Socks and dirty clothes were thrown everywhere. Zhang Heng walked along the blood. A pair of boots can be seen through the gap under the curtain.

Zhang Heng didn't pull the curtain, but directly stabbed it with the knife in his right hand. The blade easily tore the fabric, but it was empty behind the curtain.

False alarm? The boots still didn't move on the ground, so it seemed that they were only placed here by its owner.

Zhang Heng quickly opened the curtain with his other hand, and saw a place similar to a simple consultation room, with two stools and a small workbench. bloody organs.

That's where the blood and the stench on the ground came from, and right now a swarm of flies was feasting on it.

Zhang Heng's first reaction was to find the part of the uterus and abdominal meat that Bernice lost in the third murder case. In this way, he locked the murderer, but the next moment when he walked to the table When I observed it carefully, I found that the shape and size of the thing above did not look like a human uterus, but more like that of some kind of animal.

Zhang Heng thought of the pigsty he saw on the side of the road before.

In addition, he also saw a note on the table. Zhang Heng opened the note, flipped through two pages, and found that the things recorded on it were fragmentary, most of them were trivial things in life, and there were also some medical research. , but when turning to the back, the content has changed, and it can be seen that the person who wrote the thing has become more and more impatient.

Not only the handwriting became more and more illegible, but also the content began to change. It was more related to those prostitutes. He was complaining that he made less money, and that those prostitutes always pretended to be pitiful to him. Judging from the notes A month ago, he seemed to have had a conflict with two prostitutes. One of them stole his pocket watch while he was seeing a doctor. Mark Cohen chased him out, and was tripped by another prostitute, and fell Lost a tooth.

Zhang Heng was about to read on, but at this moment there was the sound of the door opening behind him. Zhang Heng stuffed the notes into his arms, and someone also opened the door. Hearing the footsteps, it seemed that there were not only one person, but two.

This surprised Zhang Heng, but it didn't affect his plan.

Zhang Heng can just jump out of the window now, but when he cut through the curtain with a knife, he has already ruled out this path, because once Mark Cohen finds out that his residence has been moved, he will definitely be there in the first place. He ran away for a while, not to mention that Zhang Heng even took his notes.

So Zhang Heng simply chose to capture the target directly here and send him to the police station.

He hid behind the curtain, listened to the sound of footsteps approaching, and at the same time calculated silently in his heart, waiting for one of them to reach out to lift the curtain, his knife was also handed out, Zhang Heng could see the astonishment on the target's face and the horror in his eyes, so At the critical moment, Zhang Heng withdrew his hand.

Another policeman also immediately drew a pistol from his waist.

Zhang Heng raised his hand and threw away the weapon in his hand, indicating that he did not mean any harm.

…………

An hour later, Holmes also came to the police station. He tapped the floor with his cane, and looked at Zhang Heng behind the iron fence with interest, "They planned to let you out half an hour ago, but I told them to lock you up again." You for a while, so that you can experience what I felt before."

"Did you tell the police to arrest Mark Cohen?" Zhang Heng asked.

"That's right, in fact, before you went to that witch doctor's house, he was already caught by the police, and those two police officers were there to collect evidence." Holmes laughed, "It seems that this time the bet is still mine After winning, I can finally think about what to watch in the opera."

"I don't think so," Zhang Heng looked at Holmes and said leisurely, "You caught the wrong person."

"Wrong person?" Holmes raised his eyebrows.

"You haven't interrogated Mark Cohen yet, have you?"

"True, but I heard from Lestrade that he admitted to being the murderer as soon as he was pinned down by the police."

"It's useless for him to admit it." Zhang Heng took out the notebook from his pocket and shook it. "If you interrogate him, you will know that he has lost his mind."
