The scene was extremely silent.

From time to time there was the sound of turning pages of files.

Superintendent Wensley was pacing back and forth, appearing a little anxious. Colleagues can testify that during this period, his thick gray hair was thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his hairline was also quietly growing.

shift.

What the hell got into London?

He subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at the group of detectives in front of him. The feeling of having to ask for help was really terrible.

In contrast, Mr. Vincent looked particularly calm. He leaned on his cane and waited patiently for a certain detective to speak first to break the silence.

"As long as all the murderers can be caught and London can regain its former peace, it doesn't matter if Scotland Yard loses face."

Vincent sighed in his heart.

Since last week, a total of more than 40 vicious homicides have occurred in East London, with surprisingly consistent methods: cutting throats and strangulation.

If it were so simple, it wouldn't be a difficult problem, but the murderer seems to have serious psychological problems and likes to play with corpses and carve complex, disgusting patterns on them.

Gang crime?

Scotland Yard police officers firmly believe that a perverted gang is targeting this cosmopolitan city.

[The victim was lying on his back with his skirt lifted to his waist]

[The neck was almost severed. According to forensic identification, this was a fatal injury]

[The caesarean section after death was a long and deep inverted V-shaped wound]

Jack the Ripper?

An old acquaintance.

Lu Li was not the only one to take the lead; Duke and the other actors all had smiles on their faces.

"Don't get excited, things are not that simple."

Sensing that Duke wanted to speak, Lu Li immediately stopped the guy and shook his head under his gaze.

Crown Prince Albert Victor.

British painter Walter Sickert.

Polish hairdresser Aaron Kosminski.

All the actors present knew that the three of them were the murderers. Based on the answers, it would be easy to deduce the process, or use some psychological warfare and tracking, to solve the case.

But, will the principal be so kind?

There are a total of ten actors present.

If this case was really simple, there would be no need to make such a big fuss.

[Number of victims: 42]

After seeing this small print on the dossier, everyone calmed down.

During the entrance examination, there were only a few real victims, which did not reach this exaggerated number.

At the same time, Mr. Vincent couldn't help but frown as he watched the private detectives change from commotion to silence. He thought that these people had discovered something, but now that he saw it, it didn't look like this.

Just like that, about two minutes passed, and someone suddenly spoke up and asked a question loudly:

"Sir, is this the only information Scotland Yard has collected?"

The speaker was a stranger whom even Duke had never met before.

So...indigenous?

Lu Li looked at the man carefully. He was of average height, but very strong. His muscles bulged out of his shirt, and the wrinkles around his eyes were obvious, indicating that he was not young, at least forty years old.

"This is Johnny Justice."

Apparently, Officer Wensley knew the man and whispered something in Chief Vincent's ear.

Unfortunately, this little trick cannot be hidden from all the actors present, because they all have five senses and abilities beyond ordinary people's imagination.

This strong man is called Johnny. He has been working as a detective in the East District for more than twenty years and has sent hundreds of criminals to prison. He is extremely experienced.

In addition, the nickname "Justice Johnny" came from the mouth of a certain felon. Since then, it has become famous far and wide.

After listening to the introduction of his capable men, a smile appeared on Mr. Vincent's face.

"We have collected a lot of information about this huge serial perverted murder case, and the files fill up an entire archives room."

"It is neither in line with the rules nor practical to show them all to everyone."

At this time, Officer Wensley took over the conversation and said in a gentle tone: "We will select some of you to participate in the operation."

filter?

As expected.

Lu Li put away the files in his hand that only recorded three murder cases in detail, and waited patiently for the next chapter.

"The documents in your hands are exactly the same. Although they are not complete, they also contain a lot of important information..."

As Officer Wensley was talking, Justice Johnny's highly recognizable voice sounded again, ruthlessly interrupting him:

"Extract key information from it and find out the direction of investigation, right? If you are not qualified, you will not be qualified to participate in the next operation."

"If you understand it that way, it's okay."

The old man did not blame this reckless behavior. He coughed twice and said concisely: "Let's start now. If you have any ideas, just say it."

If you want to establish a cooperative relationship with Scotland Yard, you have to show some skills.

Therefore, everyone can understand it.

But as a result, some actors who fished in troubled waters encountered difficulties.

Although they had participated in the copy of "Death in the Twist", they had not investigated the Jack the Ripper case. They had only seen the final results in newspapers or campus forums, and there was no analysis process.

"Based on the photos of the corpse provided in the file, it can be judged that the murderer performed the knife very professionally and accurately avoided the rectum and bladder."

This time, it's Duke's turn.

When the industry leaders who once shouldered the responsibility of forensic medicine in the foggy city gave up empiricism and only analyzed photos of the scene, the gap became apparent:

"The photo of the second corpse also confirms this statement. The victim's entire thigh was skinned, but the muscles and blood vessels were not damaged at all..."

"I guess the murderer should have received relevant training. He might be a doctor or a butcher. Considering the situation in the slums, he must be a barber."

"Of course, painters and engravers are also suspects. They understand the structure of the human body and have dexterous hands."

Finally, Duke also combined his past experience to give an investigation direction.

Before Mr. Vincent could express his position, another soft female voice sounded in the conference room.

The scene is very much like answering questions in a classroom.

It's just that everyone obeyed the rules and didn't interrupt others' speeches.

"Without any exception, the victim's skirt was lifted up to her waist. This action is quite contradictory, revealing but not naked. This state expresses the inseparable relationship between the perpetrator's motivation and [sex]."

Yang Yuanyuan seems to have reviewed the Jack the Ripper case, and even studied criminal psychology. She analyzed: "If the criminal wants to violate the victim, stripping him clean is the most thorough way to express his intention, and the skirt is lifted up to the waist.

Time is a critical state."

"One possibility is that the murderer is only satisfied with this. He or they pursue control of the victim, but do not bother to have a more progressive relationship with the victim. If you want to follow this line of investigation, you must collect as much information as possible

Corpse identification.”

"Another possibility is that the murderer does not have this ability, but it needs to be considered that this may be a gang crime."

Hearing this, Officer Wensley's eyes lit up. It was a very novel statement. They had always believed that the murderer targeted women because they had little ability to resist.

Now it seems that it may be related to identity.

Hatred?

The old man pondered in his heart: Although the murderer cut the victim's face to pieces, as long as a large number of police forces are mobilized to visit the platoon, something will definitely be gained.

Almost at the same time, several other small groups began to express their own opinions. There was no way, if they didn't say a few words, they would be eliminated directly.

Unfortunately, due to limitations of one's own level and the fact that someone else caught on to the relatively obvious areas first, elimination is a foregone conclusion.

Thinking about it from another angle, there are actually not many people. After all, three of the actors chose to join Lu Li's side.

In a small group of five people, plus Yang Yuanyuan who was fighting alone, at most four unlucky guys were eliminated.

Of course, local detectives don't think so. They rarely see colleagues with such quick thinking, and they always appear in groups.

Frankly speaking, Justice Johnny couldn't help but wonder if these people were connected to criminal organizations.

"These three on-site photos all point to one organization: Paganism." Johnny said with certainty in his tone.

After hearing the new term, Lu Li turned his attention to the man next to him again.

Whether it is Duke, Yang Yuanyuan, or others, they all use scientific analysis methods to speculate on the characteristics of the murderer.

If it were put on the entrance exam, there would be absolutely no problem, but it is different now...
