Chapter 613 “The Ripper”

Compared with the United States, the security situation in the United Kingdom is much better, but the Whitechapel area has always been chaotic, especially during the Victorian era. Between August 7 and November 9, 1888, someone once brutally murdered at least five prostitutes in a row.

.

During the crime, the murderer wrote multiple letters to relevant units to provoke him, but he was never brought to justice. His bold crime method was repeatedly exaggerated by the media and caused panic in British society at that time.

That Jack is not at all as cute as the "Jack" in the Titanic movie. To this day, he is still one of the most notorious killers in Europe and America.

Whitechapel was a famous immigration center at the time, with tens of thousands of immigrants from as far away as Russia and Eastern Europe settling here. Due to the meager income, it had long become a hotbed of poverty and crime, with homeless gangsters and solicitors living on the streets.

Prostitutes. Although Scotland Yard established a city-wide patrol network in 1829, the weak police force was still unable to maintain security in the East End, where tens of thousands of prostitutes haunted the area every night.

He is like a devil in human skin, hiding among the crowd.

Magic has a natural affinity, just like blood has a natural affinity for vampires.

Herbert Varney began preying on women in London in the 1880s. He was killed by a task force sent by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures in 1889, and some believe he was the real Jack the Ripper.

When the real culprit cannot be found, someone must be found to take the blame. Vampires are nobles in Muggle literature, but they do not get along well in the wizarding world. They are "animals" and "alien". There is a vampire in London.

The Society for the Tolerance of Vampires, which has an office lit by candlelight, aims to improve the status of vampires in the wizarding world.

Vampire hunters refer to wizards who specialize in hunting vampires. According to the Code of Treatment of Non-Wizards and Semi-Humans, this kind of discrimination and prejudice is illegal. Article 12 of the Code prohibits wizards from killing vampires.

The now famous vampire Dracula is fictional. His prototype was Vlad the Impaler. This man later died and his body was quartered by five horses. It is said that his ghost still haunts a monastery.

The earliest vampires came from Ireland. This kind of black magic turned many local people into vampires, or a bloodthirsty disease similar to vampires. People stuffed stones into the mouths of those "patients" out of fear.

It was the Middle Ages at that time, and many documents have been lost. In the 19th century, due to the influence of Muggle literature, many wizards also believed that vampires came from Eastern Europe, so Varney was blamed.

One Halloween, Sirius dressed up as a vampire and attended the Halloween dinner, and the girls went "crazy" at that time.

His mother was also crazy, but she was just mad. How could the noble Black heir dress up as such an inferior inhuman creature? It was just that Sirius directly lit the roaring letter on fire. He would not be stupid enough to fight with Ron.

He opened it in public and listened to his mother's roar.

Through investigation, it was found that not all of the prostitutes killed by "Jack" were indolent or lazy and took the wrong path.

They were already very unfortunate, and they had to suffer hell-like torture before they died. What's even more strange is that there is now a Jack the Ripper tour in London, where tour guides will take tourists to take pictures of the crime scenes.

The place where Pomona is now is the old apartment building that is to be demolished in Roswell this time. Forklifts and excavators have already come in, and now Muggles and wizards are setting traps together.

Justin was so uninspired that he used devil's net again.

The double attack is a commonly used tactical move in Quidditch. The Slytherin team likes to use this move. The double attack is when two pursuers enter the scoring area and knock the goalkeeper aside, leaving the goal exposed to the third pursuer.

In 1884, the Department of Athletics began to stipulate that only the pursuer holding the Quaffle could enter the scoring area, prohibiting "pinch" behavior and classifying it as a foul.

This caused dissatisfaction among many fans and players. They gathered at the entrance of the Ministry of Magic and threatened to kill the Minister of Magic. Later, wizards from the Department of Law Enforcement dispersed them before leaving.

Every time the Premier League, European Cup and World Cup are played, "football hooligans" will come out to cause trouble, as an investigation by the British police found.

Most of the behavior of football hooligans is caused by psychological factors, such as the breakdown of family relationships, venting dissatisfaction, etc. There are also far-right elements who appear. These people are not necessarily civilians, but may also be well-dressed "gentlemen."

Violent conflicts in the stadium will even spread throughout the United Kingdom through broadcasts, and the British domestic media hailed them as "England's disaster."

People are not always right. Their behavior needs to be regulated and corrected. The Muggle government spends a lot of manpower and material resources to combat football-related violence.

The Ministry of Magic firmly believed that the riot caused by the double-killing was unreasonable, and they insisted on changing Quidditch, which they continue to do to this day.

The Minister of Magic in power at the time was Faris Spavon, who was the longest-serving and most verbose Minister of Magic in history. Because the Muggles wanted to transform the city, it seemed that the Leaky Cauldron could not be saved no matter what, so he used

I spent seven hours reading a speech to persuade everyone, and finally inspired all the wizards to help protect the Leaky Cauldron. They used many hiding spells to make the Leaky Cauldron unmarkable on the map.

Now, the wizards of the Snow Wolves are also casting concealment spells, making it easier for them to distinguish themselves from the Death Eaters now that the organization has a precise name.

The International Statute of Secrecy stipulates that magic cannot be used in front of Muggles, but no one at the construction site mentioned it. There were still four hours until dawn, and they had no time to delay. The excavator dug up the road, revealing 17

The underground sewers built in the century are filled with a stink, and this smell cannot be hidden from werewolves with a keen sense of smell.

"Concentrate." She patted her cheek to get herself back to where she should be.

If you want peace, you must prepare for war. The construction site looks chaotic but is actually very orderly. Everyone is working in an orderly manner. What is unexpected is that Ginny actually appears.

She was not holding a baby - James Risport. She was wearing a woolen coat and her fiery red hair was cut short. She looked very capable and very much like a "career woman".

"What are you doing here?" Pomona asked Ginny amidst the rumbling roar of the machine.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Ginny asked confused.

"You are Mrs. Potter. I think there are few people in the wizarding world who don't know you and your wife." Pomona said in a hurry, "I remember that your son seems to be less than one year old."

"It has nothing to do with you." Ginny said slightly rudely, and was about to leave.

"I'm not a star-struck fan. I just want to know why you came here if you didn't stay at home in the middle of the night?" Pomona said loudly to her back, "Your son needs you."

"My mother will take care of him, and now Harry needs me." Ginny stopped and turned around. When she wasn't smiling, her jaw line was very strong, and she looked like twins.

"What does he need from you? Into a fight?"

"You have always been asking me questions, and now I ask you, who are you?" Ginny took out the reporter's car and just needed a microphone to interview her.

"I hope you and Harry are okay, it's dangerous here."

"Thank you for your concern. We are fine. Just take care of yourself." Ginny said and turned around and left.

Pomona didn't expect others to appreciate her kindness, but she couldn't help but be angry about Ginny's attitude.

So, like a teenager, she stamped her feet in anger.

Some people say that falling in love will reduce one's intelligence, and that seems to be true.

She stopped caring about Ginny and started thinking about how to pretend.

Ordinary London streets do not have space reserved for planting street trees. There are trees everywhere on the streets in China. Maybe, she can plant some scented trees to cover up the stench of the sewer?

Even though she was used to using dragon dung as fertilizer, Pomona still couldn't stand the smell. It was so unpleasant that she almost vomited.
