Chapter 29 The Last Word
Hearing someone compliment him, Aaron laughed very happily. He feels that he is in a very good state now.
For him, when he killed the woman, he also killed a part of himself and was reborn as another person at the same time.
This feeling is like cutting the umbilical cord. The moment he cut his throat and destroyed his body, it meant that he cut the bond between himself and ordinary people. After defeating his former weak self, Aaron became more confident.
It's a pity that no one can empathize. Lu Li pretended to be happy and asked, "Tell me why you killed Martha. Was it at the instigation of a friend, or was it your own idea?"
After finishing speaking, Lu Li regretted a little. He still didn't master the skills of talking to lunatics.
However, Aaron Kosminski, who was indulging in his own world, actually answered, with an extremely excited tone: "If it wasn't for that gentleman, it might take me a long time to come up with such a good idea...huh...haha...my The knife is really sharp, it's so good, I really want to get to work as soon as I get the chance."
Aside from the smirk in the middle and the psychological monologue at the end, it is obvious that he was guided.
All the blame was pointed at Albert Victor. This guy had gathered some mentally ill people around him. Since the day before yesterday, he had begun to mutilate wandering warblers in an organized and planned way.
pat...
The sound of cups and saucers being smashed sounded not far away.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The old woman screamed and rushed forward, pushing Aaron away.
"Sorry, Aaron's brain is not working well recently, he always likes to talk nonsense, you two should leave first, and come back when his condition improves."
Lu Li shrugged his shoulders: "Your guests are up to you, but please tell me, who is the guest at home? Why don't you ask him to come out and meet you?"
"no guest."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, looking embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Our family is a Polish refugee with a bad reputation. The neighbors nearby don't want to see them, let alone friends..."
Lance pulled out Winchester suddenly, pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the old woman, and cursed: "Old guy, you'd better be honest, I've disliked you since you entered the door."
"Whose coat is on the visitor's coat rack? Don't tell us it's misplaced."
Clothes are also classed——
Workers usually wear suspenders, ordinary citizens and low-key people like to wear trench coats, as for the orthodox nobles, they wear a waistcoat over their shirts, the kind with exquisite texture.
On the coat rack at the door, the waistcoat with silver ornaments and gold thread is very valuable at first glance.
That's why Lu Li happily let Aaron Kosminski go upstairs. After all, with a big fish, who cares about a small fish.
"Hearing now, you should come out too."
After saying that, Lu Li looked up at the entrance of the corridor, and added in his heart: His Royal Highness Prince Albert Victor of Wales.
The old woman's eyes became more and more frightened, what is going on? Her third son suddenly got acquainted with a rich man, who not only often visited, but also brought valuable gifts every time.
Not only that, after the visit tonight, two plainclothes police detectives followed.
In fact, she already had the answer in her heart.
It's just that, out of the protection of the youngest son, he was still unwilling to admit it.
"Sir, I really don't have any guests at home, that dress is picked..."
The next second, her voice stopped.
"amazing."
In the dimly lit corridor, a tall man walked out slowly.
"As expected of a famous detective from the Far East, Your Excellency Lu Li, Sigurd must have been taken away."
"It seems that you are the final winner of this cat-and-mouse game."
Lu Li had never met Albert, but he felt that the heir to the royal family should have the following qualities: he didn't have to be handsome, but he had to be tall and straight. No matter what the situation was, he would try his best to maintain that decency instead of having a slumped face.
While speaking, the crown prince had already arrived in the living room. Lance was still holding the shotgun in both hands, but he slightly deflected the muzzle from facing the old woman to facing Albert.
For the common people, the royal family is still high above, but for some dignitaries, before obtaining permission, their mansions can be entered by wind and rain, but the king cannot enter.
Before leaving, Mr. Lasker told Lance to protect Lu Li, so no matter what, he would swear to the death to defend his loyalty to his master.
"Don't be nervous. I don't have any guards around me. After all, killing people with followers is either crazy or stupid."
Victor spread his hands, calm to an abnormal level, if Lu Li hadn't seen that he had no place to hide his gun, he would have taken cover a long time ago.
"So, you have decided to plead guilty..."
At this moment, Lu Li held the cane tightly, confirming that he could knock it down with one blow.
"It's just killing a few wandering warblers, what's the crime?"
"Who do you think can judge me? Which judge dares to judge me?"
When Victor answered, his tone was very calm, as if he was chatting with someone or drinking coffee. After he finished speaking, he stared straight at Lu Li, hoping to see something on his face, such as depression, anger.
However, no feedback of any kind.
Lu Li acted more calmly, and said in an outsider's tone, "The momentum is good, but unfortunately you found the wrong audience. I'm just a detective, and I'm not in charge of sending prisoners to the gallows."
After two full days and two nights of busy work, although there were twists and turns in the middle, he and Duke still handed in the most perfect answer sheet.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the help of Mr. Conan Doyle and even the irascible uncle George.
At this moment, Lu Li felt like a top student who finished the test papers ahead of time, and could spend the rest of the time as he wished, as long as he didn't waste his life.
In other words.
You do whatever you want, I am invincible.
Seeing this, Victor was silent, everything was different from what he had imagined.
After a long time.
"You, don't you have anything to say?"
Hearing this, Lu Li smiled generously: "His Royal Highness, what do you want to hear, I will tell you."
Isn't it just a desire to be decent, I will give it to you.
As a time traveler, no one in this era understands Versailles literature better than Lu Li.
At this time, no one knew what Victor was thinking. He straightened his clothes and said, "Mr. Detective, you are very interesting. I wish I had known you earlier. Maybe we can become like-minded friends."
"No, no, even if we met one hundred and thirty years earlier, we would not be able to get together."
After saying that, Lu Li was too lazy to say anything else, turned around and left, leaving Victor behind.
"Sir, wait for me!"
About two minutes later, Lance waved his horsewhip, and the carriage with the kerosene lamp on it drove in the direction it came from.
Historically, there have been different opinions about who Jack the Ripper is. Even in modern times, more than a hundred years later, the so-called murderer has been identified through DNA testing, but it is still difficult to convince the public.
ps. There was a saying that was popular in that era, and Crown Prince Albert was the murderer, because he was placed under house arrest in 1889 for unknown reasons. Two years later, the royal family announced that he died of a cold, which is the same as disemboweling The time for Hand Jack to stop committing crimes is basically on the same date. In 1894, Sir Wisgail revealed inadvertently: Inside the royal family, he did not want Britain to fall into the hands of a murderer and a psychopath, so he was dealt with. Immediately afterwards, while public opinion was stirred up, the jazz also lost his whereabouts.
