Chapter 2 Jack the Ripper
Aaron jumped up from the carriage and slowly exhaled a breath of white breath. The cold air lifted his spirits. The freedom of leaving the interrogation room made him jump for joy. The starry night sky made him feel even more happy.
But soon, Major Taylor left the carriage, walked to his side, lit a cigarette, and reminded the young man of his current embarrassing situation - a poor extraordinary person who was threatened and prostituted by the military.

"Marlboro, would you like one?"
"I don't smoke." Aaron shook his head, rejected the cigarette offered by Taylor, and looked at a church not far away, "Where is this?"
"Leitz district."
"Major Taylor, can you tell me about the case now?"
Taylor held a cigarette in his mouth and began to narrate: "In the past month, five female victims have appeared near the church in Leitz District. Each victim's throat was cut and then disemboweled by the murderer. The method was extremely cruel.
.Among the five victims, there were four special professions and a poor and unlucky priestess. The murderer even wrote to Scotland Yard to provoke him, but those rubbish at Scotland Yard have not found any useful clues so far."
"...Jack the Ripper?"
"What, do you know the murderer?"
"I don't know! Of course I don't!"
Aaron quickly denied Taylor's idea. He just thought of the famous mystery case before he traveled through time. But this world is completely different from his original world. There is extraordinary power in this world. Even if the Jack the Ripper case is moved here intact,
, it can only be regarded as an ordinary criminal case.
If nothing else, the serial murder case in the Baker area eight months ago was much more serious than Jack the Ripper's "A Little Fuck".
"Can't we just let Scotland Yard investigate this kind of case? Why does the military need to intervene?"
"Nonsense!" Taylor raised his voice a little irritably. His real character was slightly different from the publicized image of Wei Guangzheng. "Normally, this kind of case would not be thrown at me, but... it involves
Xihuo Church, do you understand? Extraordinary!”
He emphasized the word "extraordinary".
Aaron immediately understood what Taylor meant.
The church pastor who was killed was probably an extraordinary person, so this incident was not just an ordinary madman killing someone, but a madman with extraordinary power killing someone, and he also killed the church.
The Parliament, the nobility, and the church are the three most powerful forces in the empire. They are intertwined, influence and compete with each other to maintain order in the city. This incident aroused the anger of one of them, which is naturally much more important than the murder of ordinary civilians.
, so this case received a higher level of treatment than the Baker Killer - direct involvement of the military.
As an outstanding representative of the recent military, Major Taylor was named by the Sunfire Church to investigate and handle this case.
"Major, I don't think you need me. What you need is a Sherlock Holmes." Aaron suggested sincerely.
"Oh, you're talking about that novel character who's been particularly popular recently, right?" Taylor rolled his eyes, took a long drag on his cigarette, and then exhaled the smoke while retorting: "How could a character like that be so smart that he could see the devil actually exist? ?I suggest you not to look for reality in a world of fantasy."
"But I won't be of any help to you in investigating the case." Aaron shrugged, "I'm just a fool who doesn't understand anything. I have neither investigated a case nor know how to do it, and I have never had anything to do with this incident. Intersection. Major, I can’t even shield you from the gun, can I?”
"I know, I just think that if I take you with me, we will soon be involved in accidents." Taylor said casually: "After all, you are the unlucky guy who can encounter seventeen accidents a year. Scotland Yard The idiots have been keeping an eye on you since half a year ago, expecting you to lead them to success and make a fortune."
Aaron: "?"
"Just kidding." Taylor grinned, "Mr. Hill, I believe in your ability very much."
Aaron scratched his head and was about to say something, but at this moment, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood. In the intense daily life of the past year, he had long been familiar with this unusual smell. We are used to it - smelling this scent often means the beginning of an unexpected event.
Taylor also smelled the bloody smell at this time. He turned around and smiled at Aaron. Aaron saw a little bit of "I'll tell you as soon as you see it" in his narrow smile.
Aaron's face darkened, and he took the first step towards the direction where the bloody smell came from. Taylor quickly followed up, and the two of them walked into an alley one after another, and soon He quickly followed the smell of blood and found an extremely fresh corpse.
This older woman was wearing some revealing clothes, but no normal person could still feel desire after seeing her current situation - her throat was cut open with a sharp blade, and blood was splattered on the small area. All around the alley, her stomach was disemboweled and her intestines were thrown over her right shoulder.
Major Taylor frowned and stepped onto the wall without hesitation. Then he climbed to the top of the wall in three or two steps, standing on the top of the wall and looking around.
About ten seconds later, he fell back to Aaron's side and concluded: "We are too late, the prisoner has escaped."
Aaron stared at the corpse in front of him silently.
There was some change scattered around her, which might be the reward for her hard work for half a night. This poor person was forced to choose this profession because of life. After all, she never found her happiness in her life, but died here. , will gradually turn into a cold corpse.
Extreme misfortune enveloped her short life, leaving her struggling with no relief.
"Perhaps, it's not too late." Aaron turned to look at Taylor and suddenly began to explain his abilities: "My extraordinary ability will keep my luck above the designated target, but it will always be only a little higher - you
I was very lucky, and I used extraordinary abilities to push the situation to extremes in the interrogation room, so I had incredible luck before. If the target was an unlucky person, I would also become an unlucky person."
Having said this, Aaron paused for a moment before asking Taylor another question:
"Major Taylor, who do you think is the 'most' unlucky person here and now?"
"Me? Who else could it be?" Taylor asked with a puzzled look on his face: "There are only two of us here."
"No." Aaron shook his head and pointed at the body in front of him, "It's her."
"Ah? Do dead people count?"
"Of course, the loss of life is one of the greatest tragedies in the world."
Under the beautiful night sky, Aaron turned to look at Taylor and showed a smile that the latter could not understand:
"Then the question is, can you protect me, Major Taylor?"
