Chapter 257 Now that You Are Here, You Have to Come in Even if You Are Not Allowed To!
Holmes put his hand on the wooden box but did not open it directly.
He looked directly into Qin Ming's eyes and said:
“Before this, I focused on a suspect.
"As a woman, her possibilities are very high."
Qin Ming was startled and asked: "Woman?!"
Holmes nodded and said:
"Yes.
“Before, I had been thinking why the murderer always targeted his neck every time he committed an attack.
"Later I figured it out...
"In addition to making the victim lose the ability to resist instantly, there is another important reason - height.
“The murderer is not tall and not very physically strong. He doesn’t want to cause too much trouble with these victims, so he always kills them with one blow.
"More importantly, being a woman can eliminate the vigilance of the victim when he first sees her."
Qin Ming reopened the photos of the victims and said:
"Indeed, judging from the wounds on the neck, the victims did not struggle or escape before being injured on the neck. Especially after the first case, the whole incident developed to the point where the entire city began to panic. , the victims are still not wary of it.
"Mr. Holmes, who is this woman you suspect?"
Holmes put his pipe to his lips and said:
"Beili, a midwife.
“Has medical knowledge and is good at anatomy.
"Five of these six victims had given birth to children, all of which were delivered by Beili. She was able to completely eliminate the vigilance of the victims.
"The most important thing is that there were witnesses who saw her near the crime scene."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming blurted out subconsciously: "Which one?"
"The fourth case was the night of the two corpses. Witnesses saw her appearing nearby with blood all over her body. Because of her profession, the witnesses did not take this seriously at the time." Holmes said.
"Mr. Holmes, is the order of this case correct?" Qin Ming asked.
"Yes, the order is exactly right."
"Then I'm afraid this witness's confession is invalid."
Qin Ming pointed to the photo of the fourth victim’s wound and continued:
"This victim was the only one of the six who was only assaulted in the neck.
"Please look at this wound. It is a puncture wound, not a slash wound. The wound is slanted inwards.
"From this angle, even if the carotid artery is cut, the blood will not be ejected because of the obstruction of the soft tissue outside...
“So, it is impossible for this situation to cause the murderer to be ‘covered in blood’.
“I don’t think there will be much blood splatter at the crime scene in the fourth case.
"This case happened on the same night as the fifth case, but the fourth case happened first and the fifth case happened later, so there is no possibility that the blood on her body was from other victims."
After hearing Qin Ming's explanation, Holmes nodded slightly.
He felt very satisfied.
At first, Holmes chose Qin Ming just because his profession was forensic medicine. It will be easier to accept the case information for the first time and your mentality will be better.
But Holmes didn't expect that this forensic doctor from the Dragon Kingdom was also good at reasoning.
"Very well, Mr. Qin Ming, you are very professional. This is one of the reasons why I did not identify her as the murderer in the end.
"Just when the investigation hit a dead end, I received this wooden box."
After saying that, Holmes removed his palm from the box and opened the wooden box.
The lid of the wooden box was lifted.
A complete set of surgical tools was displayed in front of Qin Ming.
"This is…"
"The murder weapon."
"What?!"
Holmes took a drag on his cigarette and said:
"Don't be surprised, Mr. Qin Ming, this is the tool used in these six cases."
Qin Ming couldn't bear to look away from the tool and said, "That's why you are so sure that if Su Chen is investigating the Ripper case, he will definitely come to you..."
Holmes said:
"Yes.
“I received these a year ago after I confirmed that the ‘midwife’ idea was incorrect.
“I tried to find the person who sent me the stuff but couldn’t find it.
"Although not many people know that I am investigating this case, the whole case involves too much. In order to investigate and collect evidence, not counting witnesses, but suspects alone, I have contacted more than a hundred people. Any of them Anyone can be the mailer.
"Can.
"Even so, I still found clues from this tool."
After that, Holmes pulled off the brocade cloth inside the lid of the wooden box, revealing a pattern.
"If Su Chen wants to solve this case, he must get this information.
“Unless he’s caught inside the National Archives.
"otherwise.
"He will definitely come to my level."
………
at this time.
Su Chen and the others have arrived at the National Archives Bureau of Parrot Country.
In front of you is a European-style building with a small independent courtyard outside the building.
Rather than being an archives office, it would be more appropriate to call it a church.
When I walked into the courtyard, I saw two guards standing at the door.
Since there are some real files with great influence stored inside, the inspection at the door is very strict, and real-name registration is required.
Seeing this situation, Su Chen said to Lao Qi, "How about you two wait for me outside?"
Both shook their heads at the same time.
Fake said: "Since we are here, I feel bad if I don't go in."
Lao Qi also said: "That's right, since we are here, we have to go in and take a look even if we have to pay for tickets."
"Okay, then you two will act separately from me. You two are normal identities, just register your information directly. I need to disguise myself, and we will contact each other by phone later."
"Okay."
………
Lao Qi and the other two registered and entered the hall smoothly.
After entering, the two were dumbfounded.
This building does not look very big from the outside, but after entering, they found that the hall alone is as big as half a football field.
This does not include the space around the hall where archives are displayed.
Looking up, there is a three-story circular corridor above, and the corridor is full of archives.
"It's so big! How can I find it..." Lao Qi looked around and sighed.
"Of course I asked the staff. Do I have to look through them one by one?" Fake said disdainfully.
"Good idea." Lao Qi patted Fak's shoulder, "Young man, you are quite handsome, this task is for you."
Following Lao Qi's gaze, Fak saw a female staff member not far away.
"Tsk." Fak shook his head, "Uncle, your glib words are useless to me."
"Why?"
"Because I don't care what the world thinks of me. As I said, my heart is old."
Before Fak finished speaking, Lao Qi waved to the female staff member.
"eikeizikuizi! Beauty!"
Lao Qi's fluent foreign language shocked Fak on the side.
The staff member looked at Lao Qi and pointed at himself with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes, yes, it's you. Please come here, this young man has something to ask you."
