Chapter 562 Clues

"This damn weather."

Lu Li sighed while sitting in the carriage. His sense of smell could travel across the entire city to track down the murderer, even in a rainstorm.

Correspondingly, it takes more than ten times more time than normal.

"I feel that relying on the werewolf's sense of smell to locate the murderer is not reliable." Duke said while driving, "Justice Johnny's family has three hounds with a keen sense of smell, and they can also catch thieves in rainy nights, but this guy doesn't seem to We intend to take them to the crime scene."

"Yes, the case is not so easy to solve."

Lu Li lay on the backrest with his head up, and asked, "During the dinner in the Financial City in the middle of the night, you took away a newspaper. Are there any clues in it?"

"A certain image of the crime scene is worth pondering..."

Since Officer Wensley and Holmes were sitting in another carriage, the conversation between Lu Li and Duke was a little looser.

"I saw a heraldry-like logo, which was blurry and appeared through the reflection of standing water, and did not exist in that image itself."

"What does it mean?"

"The square part in the upper right corner of the coat of arms is too blurry to see what it means. As for the color, the whole picture is black and white, and nothing can be studied."

Driving the carriage with one hand, Duke took out a newspaper from the pocket of his trench coat, handed it to Lu Li, and added, "But the overall structure does look like a coat of arms."

After Lu Li took the newspaper, he quickly flipped it to the page introducing the case.

Below the hand-drawn drawing of the scene drawn by the artist, there is a black and white photo, but the body is not on it.

It is therefore almost certain that this was taken after Scotland Yard stepped in and inspected the scene.

As Duke said, there is a puddle in the photo, which reflects something, a bit like the outline of a person, who may have happened to pass by, standing on a high place waiting for a bus.

If the assumption is true, then there is still a coat of arms hanging on his chest.

As for more details.

Due to technical limitations, nothing can be seen. If he had to say something more, Lu Li felt that there were a lot of stripes on the coat of arms.

"What do the bars mean?"

"It refers to the wearer's ability to balance negative emotions with his own conscience, beliefs, and yearning for glory, mostly referring to violent and irritable passions."

"However, these can't explain anything."

As he said that, Duke continued, "It may be the error caused by the unclear photo, or it may be the murderer deliberately misleading, not to mention that the gentleman who left the projection is just passing by."

"You have to ask the newspaper office to know the specific situation."

After saying that, Lu Li shook his head.

Newspapers such as "Penny" and "The Times" are widely circulated in the upper class, so a lot of content will be deliberately avoided, but unscrupulous tabloids are different, they are shameless, vulgar, and even for the sake of sales, they don't care about promoting violence and Bloody, deliberately spreading panic to readers.

Because of this, tabloids are, in some ways, more informative.

Of course, the possibility of disappointment will be greater, after all, the prefix is: unscrupulous.

"Anyway, we got acquainted with Holmes successfully and are on our way to investigate the case."

"Yeah, I also met Pan Ming, who has been out of touch. He seems to have formed an ally with Johnny Justice."

"This is really a headache. If Officer Wensley hadn't introduced Holmes for us, forming an alliance with Johnny would be an option."

Obviously, those three subordinates were temporarily forgotten by the boss.

However, after Pan Ming found out who they were working for, he completely gave up the idea of ​​killing them.

suburbs.

The three of Bai Yu and his party had finally exhausted their last trace of patience. Since they couldn't get rid of the three beasts, they should take some trouble to kill them all.

This is what Johnny Justice has brought upon himself.

However, just as he was about to make a move, Pan Ming's figure gradually solidified, and he said in a deep voice:

"Hand over the things, I will explain to Lu Li and Duke."

Then, a paper book wrapped in cowhide was thrown over. During the whole process, Bai Yu didn't hesitate at all, because this was also their boss, even if it was the first time they met.

Almost at the same time, the three seemingly indefatigable hounds stopped walking and wagged their tails towards Pan Ming, as if to please him.

the other side.

The carriage drove hurriedly for about two hours on the empty streets in the rainy night, and finally arrived at the Whitechapel area.

Mr. Sheriff, who was in charge of the entire area, was called by Wensley for questioning.

"Sir, the neighborhood is extremely quiet tonight, and so far there hasn't even been a security incident."

"you sure?"

Don't look at Officer Wensley's humble and kind appearance in front of Lu Li and the others, but in front of his subordinates, he is indeed very imposing.

"Sorry, there was a fight between Liu Ying."

In the end, the half-haired sheriff chose to be frank, which did not attract Wensley's attention.

Warblers and tramps are the two groups that are most likely to fight. The former fight for customers, while the latter fight for food and waste paper.

Holmes bit his pipe, and interrupted:

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know." The sheriff shook his head, and stated the facts in a helpless tone, "Someone may have been slightly injured, and some may have died unfortunately, but people in their circle don't like to let the police intervene, so it's hard to tell the truth. "

"Let's do this." Looking at the torrential rain that showed no sign of stopping, Wensley said in a deep voice, "Send out all the brothers on duty in the police station, and don't miss any corner..."

Not far away, Lu Li warmed his hands with a cup of coffee, while Duke bought a serving of hot eels.

I have to say that the prices in the Eastern District are really cheap, and two pennies can warm you up.

"The weirdness of this world is hidden too deeply. If you don't investigate carefully, you won't see the clue at all."

"But there is no shortage of opportunities. Of course, the premise is to pay attention to current news."

The two chatted in low voices.

As Lu Li said, he was thinking about another case, the Tully Street fire case. This option was more difficult than the serial murder case, but at present, this case made them feel a little confused, let alone the latter.

"The fourth day is coming, and we still haven't encountered any danger." Duke gnawed on the eel meat, licked the soup on his lips, and said, "It's really unusual, as if holding back some big move."

Judging from past experience, this exam is indeed special.

It stands to reason that the difficulty would be unimaginably outrageous, and you will encounter danger almost at the beginning, but in reality, apart from collecting information and expanding contacts, the rest of the time is very leisurely.

"What are you talking about?"

At this moment Holmes approached, regretting that he had not brought a bottle of brandy or rum with him to keep him warmer.
