Chapter 568 Arrest (2)

"Katie? Come out."

The sound of the door opening awakened the drunk man, but the drunkenness on his body was still there. He turned over, hugged the worn-out blanket, and continued to sleep soundly.

And Katie shrank back instinctively. She didn't want to accept the interrogation, because this was the first step on the gallows, and she couldn't get out anyway.

However, just like when they came in, amidst howls, two burly police officers took the obscene woman out.

In addition, in order to prevent Katie from attacking the two officers due to madness, after entering the interrogation room, an experienced detective put a pillory on her.

It was an upright stick with an iron plate on which were fitted holes for the arms and the head of the prisoner.

The principle is extremely simple, as long as the pivot is slightly moved, the prisoner will turn several times in panic.

Katie had seen this kind of scene before. While laughing, she secretly lamented that if she went up by herself, she would definitely not be able to withstand the double torture from both mental and physical.

"You are only three steps away from the death penalty."

Police Officer Wensley held his breath, sat on the seat in front of him, looked at Katie, the whore who killed single mothers and may bear several lives, and said word by word:

"Transfer to the judiciary, conduct a final trial, and confirm the sentence."

"Then, when they parade through the streets with this instrument of torture, the public will use things like dead cats and dogs, internal organs, potatoes, feces, mud, etc. to express their disdain for the executed prisoners."

"Amidst the sound of spurning, the executioner erected the crossbar and the noose to end a sinful life."

This is a fact.

Every Londoner knows that every Monday morning at eight o'clock, outside Newgate Gaol or Stabler's Road Gaol, some of the most heinous people are executed to appease popular anger and deter mobs, unemployed imperial soldiers and unruly workers class.

"Sir, I am not guilty..."

The voice of this elder sister who dominates the Liuying world is hoarse. She bears several lives and is vulgar and arrogant, but she just ignores the lives of others.

When she was put on the torture device and faced with the most severe reprimand from the police officer, Katie faltered. She tried to beg for mercy, but found that her hands and head were firmly fixed, and she could not move at all.

"Not guilty?"

Sullen flashed in Police Officer Wensley's eyes. He slapped the confession on Katie's face and looked straight into the other's pretendingly pitiful eyes. .”

"During the period, a single mother was threatened with a little girl to give up resistance and stoned her to death."

"It's not premeditated murder, what is it?"

At this moment, Officer Wensley looked more like an angry red bull than a good old man.

Although Lu Li had discussed with him in advance and asked him to be responsible for putting on a bad face, it was indeed too much. It's not that these words were wrong. Katie should be sentenced to death, but not now.

Why would a person who knew he was going to die cooperate with the investigation? Therefore, she had to be coaxed into giving her the illusion that she could commit crimes and perform meritorious deeds in order to obtain a reduced sentence.

"With so many witnesses, do you feel wronged?"

Lu Li didn't offer comforting words immediately, but analyzed the situation for Katie, who was bewildered, "As for the physical evidence, as long as the police put in the effort to investigate, they will definitely find something."

At this time, Wensley also adjusted his emotions, and he stated the facts in a cold voice:

"Does he know about the dismemberment case of James? Did he think that if he hid the corpse in various urban areas, he would not be discovered? If he confessed what happened at night, he might be able to get a chance to reduce his sentence."

Obviously, Officer Wensley stole the show, playing both blackface and redface.

However, it will do as expected.

In the next period of time, Katie, the eldest sister, was very well-behaved and explained everything that happened at night, including the role played by the mistress.

This guy takes care of the aftermath.

After Katie's murder, he negotiated with the gangsters in the next block; after Newberry's body was found, he disposed of all traces.

"You are the first person to come to the morgue after the murderer. Please describe the situation at the scene in detail."

"Chop wounds all over the body, poor Newberry must have been abused, her liver, spleen, part of her intestines was placed between her legs, as well as other parts."

"Arranged in a strange order, isn't it?"

Lu Li reminded me.

"That's right, the people in the next block are too bad. I just killed a whore by accident, but they retaliated like this..." Katie couldn't help raising her voice.

them?

Lu Li shook his head, the circumstances of his death completely corresponded to the previous forty cases, this case was not the kind of retaliatory crime that Katie thought.

"Where is the dumping place? Don't tell me it was done by the concubine, you don't know at all."

"It's hidden in a boat at a pier on East Street. Silvis plans to find a suitable river and throw the body into it."

"Sylvis?"

"My man."

So far, the interrogation work has come to an end.

Maybe there are many old things worth digging out, maybe there are other crimes involved in this group of wandering warblers, but these are not things that need to be investigated right now.

"Come on, take us to that pier."

Lu Li got up and folded the testimonies by his side. The progress went very smoothly, but he didn't know what happened to Duke and Holmes.

In fact, the work he did just now did not have much technical content. An experienced grassroots police officer can also get things done, but there must be someone watching.

At the same time, two police officers took Katie off the pillory and helped her off the shelf.

"Don't stop the interrogation, and don't let the person go. That man named Silvester lives on the second floor of the 'Queen's Head' tavern. Take a few guys to search."

Wensley explained something.

Then, follow Lu Li to the pier.

The time is early morning.

Two four-wheeled carriages with the logo of the police station stopped, and the surrounding area of ​​the pier was extremely silent.

Three police officers wearing cockscomb helmets came out first with umbrellas. Considering that Katie still had value, she was also taken care of so that she would not stand in the rain and freeze.

"Which one?"

Lu Li's gaze swept across the river, and there were nearly a hundred boats parked on it, including small boats, medium-sized wooden boats, and various steamboats.

Katie looked around in a panic. She wanted to do meritorious service, she wanted to reduce her sentence, and then exhausted her savings to hire a good lawyer to defend herself against manslaughter, so that she would not have to die.

"Go forward, look carefully." Wensley said sullenly.

After sniffing, Lu Li discovered a cruel fact. There was no smell of blood in the air. Perhaps the man named Silver had already left and went to other rivers to dump his body.

"Sir... there is a situation over there."

Suddenly, a police officer in charge of holding an umbrella spoke.
