Chapter 256 It's Like Walking Through Hell

After hearing Qin Ming's words, Holmes did not speak immediately.

He first lit the pipe in his hand, then took a puff, and then said:

“I joined this show for two reasons.

"First of all, I just want to catch Su Chen. I am very interested in him personally. His behavior always gives me a very special feeling - like I have seen myself in another time and space.

"Secondly, I decided to retire. This idea came to me before I joined the show.

“It’s just that I haven’t found a good way to end my detective career perfectly.

“Originally, my goal was to solve the Ripper case, but unfortunately I never got what I wanted.

"It wasn't until I found out about this program from your Dragon Country that I changed my target - after catching Su Chen, I would retire with peace of mind.

"So, arresting Su Chen is my only purpose now.

"If these materials need to be used in this process, I will not hesitate to take them out and make them public."

After hearing Holmes' words, Qin Ming realized why they didn't mind revealing the hidden office just now.

It turned out that apart from capturing Su Chen, they no longer cared about anything else.

Qin Ming looked at the information on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Holmes, everything is possible. What if they go to the Archives Bureau and catch Su Chen now, and you disclose half of the cases you have investigated early... Then Isn't it a pity that you didn't get anything? After all, Su Chen has a locator by his side now..."

Holmes said expressionlessly: "If this 'in case' really happens, then there will be nothing precious about 'capturing Suchen'."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming was slightly startled.

It seems that Holmes has a really high opinion of Su Chen, and he also believes that the Archives Bureau's plan to arrest Su Chen will definitely fail...

Although this sentence sounds a bit arrogant at first, it seems very objective to the great Holmes.

"Okay. Mr. Qin Ming, if you have understood what I mean, I will tell you the details of the Ripper case and the progress of my investigation. Please remember, because several other gentlemen in the hunting team also I need to know this information, and you may need to relay it when the time comes.”

"Okay." Qin Ming nodded, "This will be my honor."

(This serial murder case occurred twenty years ago.)

(There are approximately 6 victims, all 6 of whom are women from the land of fireworks. The reason why I say approximately is because the chain characteristics of these 6 homicides are the most obvious, and it does not rule out that there are other cases.)

(The crime locations are all around Whitechapel in London's East End.)

(The first victim was found near Whitechapel. He was stabbed 9 times in the neck and 30 times in the lower abdomen.)

(The second victim was found in the storage area near Whitechapel. His neck was cut and his abdomen was cut open. It was emphasized that this victim was pregnant.)

(The third victim was found outside Longkai's apartment near Whitechapel. His neck was cut and his uterus was missing.)

(After three murders, Parrot News received a letter from someone suspected of being the Ripper himself.)

Qin Ming looked at the photo of the letter and read the content.

This is a letter written in red ink.

The letter states that the writer himself is the murderer. If the police cannot catch him, he will continue to commit crimes, and his words are full of provocation.

(On the fourth day after receiving the letter, the fourth case and the fifth case occurred on the same day. The two cases were committed 1.5 kilometers apart. This day later became known as the Night of the Ripper’s Double Corpses.)

(The fourth victim was stabbed multiple times in the neck and had no other injuries.)

(The fifth victim had missing facial features, a cut neck, an open abdomen, and missing kidneys.)

(The next morning, the news agency received the same letter written in red ink as the previous one. The letter stated that it would do two more cases and described how it would deal with the victims. The description in the letter was similar to that of the victim. The characteristics of the bodies found were exactly the same.)

(These five cases have left a haze on the entire Parrot Kingdom. In order not to make things worse, the police at that time even mobilized the public and organized a vigilance committee.)

(But soon, the head of the committee received a letter from the Ripper. The ink of this letter was different from the previous two letters-it was black. But the letter sent also contained some broken kidneys. …)

(Half a month later, the sixth victim appeared again.)

(The sixth victim was found mangled in his apartment.)

………

"That's it for all the victim information," Holmes said.

After Holmes's introduction, Qin Ming finished reading the information.

Even though he was a professional forensic doctor, after experiencing Holmes's explanation and these materials, Qin Ming felt as if he had just come back from a tour of hell.

No wonder this case is so famous and has such a profound impact.

So... brutal.

This murderer didn't treat his target as his own kind at all...

Seeing Qin Ming's look, Wasen kindly filled Qin Ming's cup with hot coffee.

Qin Ming glanced at the coffee and his stomach began to churn.

"Mr. Qin Ming, are you okay?" Holmes put the pipe aside. "It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable. It is said that several senior coroners did not resist it."

Qin Ming waved his hand to show that he was fine.

Qin Ming adjusted his mood and asked, "Mr. Holmes, I'm fine, please continue."

"There are several speculations in the world."

Holmes pulled out a few papers at the bottom of the information and continued:

"First, the most popular one is the royal conspiracy theory.

"Many people think that this case involves the royal family of Parrot Country and their privacy, so they were killed and silenced, and the police have been unable to solve the case.

"But I think this speculation is very absurd and can't stand scrutiny.

"Other doubts aside, at least, making the case so "sensational" is contrary to killing and silencing.

"There is another speculation that the murderer is a butcher near Whitechapel.

"The reason for this speculation is that the butcher has experience in autopsy and he has a motive-because he got sick because of his relationship with these women, and he committed the crime in revenge.

"But I think this speculation is completely untenable..."

Speaking of this, Qin Ming continued, "Indeed. Although it can be seen from these photos that the murderer has some medical knowledge and is good at dissection, this dissection technique has nothing to do with butchers...Mr. Holmes, you are so sure of the absurdity of these speculations. In addition to your reasoning, is it because you have mastered some unknown information? Or secrets?"

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Holmes tapped the wooden box on the coffee table with his fingertips.

"Of course."
