Chapter 14 Dialectics (2)

"In addition, I think the murderer was most likely born in a single-parent family and was abandoned by his mother at an early age, or he was a man who lost his son."

Duke was a little surprised. This conjecture seemed to be taken for granted. Where did it come from?

"sure?"

Being looked at with questioning eyes, Lu Li did not immediately explain, but instead asked a question: "How do you think a madman who lives purely for killing would commit a crime?"

"He will damage and destroy the victim to the greatest extent. The wounds will be all kinds of strange, like poking, poking, cutting, whatever happens, and there is no pattern to be found."

Lu Li started asking and answering questions.

At this moment, as his thinking deepened, he became more and more certain of his conjecture.

"Have you ever heard of basic deduction? It is a science that pays attention to logic. The conclusion must be deduced from the premises. There is an inevitable connection between the two and there is no possibility."

When it came to the professional field, Duke looked confused and felt unclear, but he also heard the implication: I'm afraid Lu Li really found some valuable clues.

"But, from a logical point of view, another method called profiling is just the opposite."

"It deduces the premise from the conclusion, and based on various signs of the murderer's behavior, the person's psychological state, such as his character, is derived. The probability is relatively high, and deviations from the facts are allowed."

Duke nodded slowly and couldn't help but think about these three philosophical questions: who am I, where am I, and where will I go.

"Brother, can you speak human language?"

He was thinking this in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only endure it.

At this time, Lu Li also realized that he had taken the topic astray, and apologized: "In other words, my guess may be slightly different from the truth. It can only ensure that the logic is consistent. Are you willing to take a gamble with me?"

?”

"There's not much time left."

After speaking, he stared directly at Duke.

This placement test is related to the future of the two of them. Once something goes wrong, it will be too late to regret it.

Main God Space, failure to obliterate...

Involuntarily, Duke thought of the classic plot in the novel and shuddered in his heart: In the same way, the so-called inferior class should not be a good place to go.

"Do you remember what it said on the blackboard?"

As he said that, Lu Li lowered his head and glanced at the iron pot not far away. White bones were churning in it, and he changed his words and reminded: "It should be cooked, take it out and take a look."

"Oh, I see."

Duke came to his senses and hurriedly looked for tools to retrieve the pelvic bone from the pot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Li continued: "At that time, it was written on the blackboard that the difficulty level of this exam was extremely low, the time limit was five days, and the candidates were required to choose between the lawful and chaotic camps."

"Obviously, the two of us were automatically assigned to the lawful camp, and our mission is to assist the London military police in maintaining law and order, punishing evil and promoting good."

"Since it is about punishing evil and promoting good, why do you have to keep an eye on Jack the Ripper? In this foggy city where countless hooligans and evil criminals gather, is there only one evil person? With your ability, you can find out the truth of other cases, that's not it.

Is it within reach?"

After the words fell, Lu Li said no more. He had never thought about these words beforehand, he just said them suddenly.

While there is still time, give up the investigation quickly and use quantity to make up for the deficiency.

A very wise choice.

In fact, he himself was a little moved.

"The victim has given birth and is aged between 26 and 28 years old."

Duke scooped a bucket of water and extinguished the charcoal fire. The sudden embers illuminated his cheeks, and he said to himself: "During delivery, the ligament attachments between the pubic bones are stretched, causing the bones to

A strain or ligament is embedded in the bone, and when the ligament disappears and is steamed away, what appears is a groove.”

"Okay, the last result is out, you can continue to analyze."

After hearing what he said, Lu Li felt quite surprised. Duke did not answer the question directly, but actions are always more convincing than words——

Obviously, he is willing to continue to cooperate and insist on pursuing the Jack the Ripper case.

"Getting back to the subject, Jack the Ripper had a deep obsession with the victim's abdomen, with an inverted V-shaped wound, implying contempt."

As he spoke, Lu Li made a V-shaped gesture, and then reversed it: "If you do this to a stranger, will he think you are provoking?"

"certainly."

Duke nodded.

"So why does Jack despise the dead?"

"He declared in his letter of provocation that he hated vultures the most in his life, but there were so many vultures in Whitechapel, why did he have to pick those who had given birth to them?"

"Actually, what Jack hates and detests are people who drown children. In order to vent his dissatisfaction, he destroys the corpse a second time."

behavioral evidence.

At this time, Duke thought of a word.

Before that, he had always thought that evidence referred to items placed around the corpse that could be helpful to the case, or perhaps a professional report issued by a forensic doctor.

Therefore, he believed that the profession of detective was somewhat redundant, but he did not expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

"Damn it...it turns out...he didn't kill people randomly at all!"

With the knowledge of a professional forensic doctor, Duke quickly understood:

If Jack is regarded as a hunter, then he has undoubtedly chosen a good hunting ground. The East End of London in the Victorian era was a large slum, where there were flocks of wandering warblers, and his prey was everywhere.

However, this guy likes to be picky about food!

"Are there any other directions for investigation?"

The feeling of hugging his thigh was so good that Duke became excited instantly: "If not, go to the street to investigate now."

"I suspect that Jack the Ripper lived in East London. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he could avoid witnesses every time he committed a crime."

"That's right..."

After being inspired by Lu Li, Duke was able to draw inferences from one instance and put forward his point of view:

"I have never been to the scene of the first murder, so I will use the second murder as an example."

"Until now, the location of the first crime scene is still a mystery, but the place where the body was removed is Brady Street, which is an important breakthrough."

"Although that place is remote, there will definitely be people passing by, such as night shift workers, homeless people, drunkards, and even people from the East District Citizen's Self-Defense Force. The murderer took risks to remove the body and destroy it, so he definitely has something to rely on."

"It seems that Jack the Ripper must be very familiar with the street conditions. It is very likely that he lived in East London himself."

At this moment, Duke seemed to be possessed by Sherlock Holmes, with confidence in his words.

People who didn't know the truth saw it and thought he had deduced the whole process.

But Lu Li, who had been guiding this guy's thoughts, was not so excited and said coldly: "Calm down, I just pieced together a self-supporting explanation based on trivial details. I can't say whether I can be sure."

"There is hope, as long as there is a direction for investigation. After tonight, Jack kills two more people, won't we be able to judge whether your reasoning is valid?"
