Chapter 562 Clues

"Damn weather."

Lu Li sighed as he sat on the carriage. His sense of smell could span the entire city to track down the murderer, even on a rainy day.

Correspondingly, the time required is more than ten times longer than normal.

"I don't think it's reliable to use the werewolf's sense of smell to identify the murderer." Duke said while driving the car, "Justice Johnny's family has three hounds with sensitive sense of smell, which can also catch thieves on rainy nights. However, this guy doesn't seem to be

Plan to lead them to the crime scene."

"Yes, the case is not that easy to solve."

Lu Li lay on the backrest with his head raised and asked, "When we were having dinner in the Financial City last night, you took away a newspaper. Are there any clues in it?"

"About a certain image of the crime scene, it is worthy of scrutiny..."

Since Officer Wensley and Holmes were sitting in another carriage, the conversation between Lu Li and Duke relaxed slightly.

"I saw a heraldry-like logo. It was very blurry and reflected through the water. It did not exist in the image itself."

"What does it mean?"

"The square part in the upper right corner of the coat of arms is too blurry to clearly see what it means. As for the color, the entire picture appears black and white, so nothing can be learned."

Duke drove the carriage with one hand, took out the newspaper from the pocket of his trench coat, handed it to Lu Li, and added: "But the overall structure does look like a coat of arms."

After Lu Li took the newspaper, he quickly turned it to the page that introduced the case.

Below the artist's hand-drawn drawing of the scene, there is a black-and-white photo, but the body is not on it.

Therefore, it is almost certain that this photo was taken after Scotland Yard intervened and inspected the scene.

Just as Duke said, there is a pool of water in the photo, which reflects something, a bit like the outline of a person. He may be passing by by chance, standing on a high place waiting for the bus.

If the assumption is true, then there is a coat of arms hanging on his chest.

As for more details.

Due to technical limitations, nothing could be seen. If he had to say more, Lu Li felt that there were a lot of stripes on the coat of arms.

"What do the bars mean?"

"It refers to the wearer's ability to use his own conscience, beliefs, and yearning for glory to balance negative emotions, which mostly refer to irritable and irritable passions."

"However, these don't mean anything."

With that said, Duke continued, "It may be an error caused by the unclearness of the photo, or it may be that the murderer deliberately misled. It is not ruled out that the gentleman who left the projection just happened to be passing by."

"You have to ask the newspaper company to know the specific situation."

After finishing speaking, Lu Li shook his head.

Newspapers such as "The Penny" and "The Times" are widely circulated among the upper class, so a lot of content is deliberately avoided. However, unscrupulous tabloids are different. They are shameless, vulgar, and even do not care about promoting violence and violence for the sake of sales.

It is bloody and deliberately spreads panic among readers.

Because of this, tabloids are, in some ways, more informative.

Of course, the possibility of disappointment will be greater, after all, the prefix is: unscrupulous.

"Anyway, we got acquainted with Sherlock Holmes successfully and are on our way to investigate the case."

"Yes, I also met Pan Ming, who has been out of contact. He seems to have formed an alliance with Justice Johnny."

"This is really troublesome. If Officer Wensley hadn't introduced Holmes to us, forming an alliance with Johnny would be an option."

Obviously, those three subordinates were temporarily forgotten by the boss.

However, after Pan Ming figured out who they were working for, he completely gave up the idea of ​​killing him.

suburbs.

Bai Yu and his party finally exhausted their last trace of patience. Since they couldn't get rid of those three beasts, they had to use their hands and feet to kill them all.

This is the fate that Johnny Justice brought upon himself.

However, just when he was about to take action, Pan Ming's figure gradually solidified and said in a deep voice:

"Hand over the things and I will explain it to Lu Li and Duke."

Then, a paper book wrapped in cowhide was thrown over. During the whole process, Bai Yu did not hesitate at all, because this was also their boss, even if it was their first meeting.

Almost at the same time, the three seemingly tireless hounds stopped walking and kept wagging their tails towards Pan Ming, as if to please him.

the other side.

The carriage drove quickly on the empty streets in the rainy night for about two hours, and finally arrived at the Whitechapel district.

The police chief in charge of the entire area was called over by Wensley for questioning.

"Sir, the neighborhood is extremely peaceful tonight, and not even a single security incident has occurred so far."

"you sure?"

Although Officer Wensley acted humble and kind in front of Lu Li and others, he was indeed very imposing in front of his subordinates.

"Sorry, there was a fight between Orioles."

In the end, the silver-haired police chief chose to be honest, which did not attract Wensley's attention.

Wanderers and homeless people are the two groups most likely to fight. The former fights for customers, while the latter fights for food and waste paper.

Holmes bit his pipe and interjected:

"What's the big deal?"

"I don't know." The police chief shook his head and stated the facts in a helpless tone, "Someone may have been slightly injured, and someone may have died unfortunately, but people in their circle don't like to let the police get involved, so it's hard to tell the truth.

"

"Let's do this." Wensley looked at the heavy rain that showed no sign of stopping and said solemnly: "Send out all the brothers on duty in the police station, don't let any corner go..."

Not far away, Lu Li was holding a cup of coffee to warm his hands, while Duke bought a piece of hot eel.

I have to say that prices are really cheap in the East District, and you can keep yourself warm for just two pennies.

"The weirdness of this world is so deeply hidden that if you don't investigate carefully, you won't be able to find any clues at all."

"But there is no shortage of opportunities. Of course, the premise is to pay attention to current news."

The two chatted in low voices.

As Lu Li said this, he was thinking about another case, the Tully Street fire case. This case was more difficult than the serial murder case, but the current case left them feeling a little confused, let alone the latter case.

"The fourth day is coming, and we are still not in danger." Duke chewed the eel meat, licked the soup on his lips, and said, "It's really unusual, as if he is holding back some big move."

Judging from past experience, this exam is indeed special.

It stands to reason that the difficulty would be unimaginably outrageous, and you would encounter danger almost immediately at the beginning, but in reality, apart from collecting information and expanding contacts, the rest of the time is very leisurely.

"What are you talking about?"

At this moment, Holmes came closer, regretting that he had not brought a bottle of brandy or rum with him to keep himself warmer.
