Looking in the direction of the police officer's finger, Lu Li noticed a man.

To be more precise, it is a family of four.

The husband holds an umbrella with one hand and sits upright on a public bench, holding a sleeping baby in his arms. The wife rests her head on his shoulder. On the woman's lap, another half-year-old child sleeps with his head on it.

.

At this moment, the man was looking at the undulating river, thinking intently.

It was not a good thing for a man with his family to sit next to the Thames on a rainy day. Even Lu Li, who was new here, knew the answer.

"Bring someone here and watch the child."

Lu Li ordered.

For a city, or even an era, personal power is really limited.

Mr. Holmes rescued Aisunen and promised to find her a decent job.

And Lu Li planned to lend a helping hand to a family that was slipping into the abyss within his ability.

At the same time, Katie shook her head in despair and said solemnly: "The ship has left."

"Ask that man." Officer Wensley said helplessly: "They have been sitting here, they should know the clues."

"What does the boat look like?"

"The three-masted sailing ship is very old."

In a few words, the male homeless man who was about to commit suicide was brought over. He left his wife and children on the bench, under the care of a police officer.

"Sir...what's the matter?"

Looking at the uneasy man in front of him, Lu Li suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and asked, "Did you see an old three-masted sailboat leaving the dock?"

"As you can see, we are pursuing a serious case, and enthusiastic citizens who can provide key evidence will receive a generous reward."

When he heard about the bounty, Saber's gray eyes finally brightened. In fact, he had been unemployed for two weeks. The day before yesterday, his family was kicked out by the landlord again and became homeless. Then there was another heavy rain.

…

"I was sitting here two hours ago, and in the meantime there was only one ship leaving the dock, and as you said it was old and had three masts."

"Which direction did it go?"

"Going from west to east, heading towards the North Sea."

The moment he got the answer, Lu Li took out his wallet, leaving only one pound for himself, and gave the other gold coins and change to Saber.

"Take it, it's what you deserve."

Firstly, the poor man had no reason to deceive the police, and secondly, Lu Li just wanted him to accept the donation with dignity.

This amount of money is enough for two adults and two children to live in the East End for two months.

Of course, they can also buy tickets to escape this cannibalistic city and return to the countryside.

"I will recruit manpower, let the fleet chase, and recover the body."

While Lu Li was looking at the river in deep thought, Officer Wensley secretly decided to apply for a large amount of activity funds for them. It was within the scope of his authority to express his gratitude and guilt.

Why feel guilty?

Probably because of all the misfortunes that happened in Fog City, Wensley, as a public official, felt uneasy, even though he was conscientious and abided by his duties.

Tick...tick...

Rainwater flowed down the umbrella, and the man who provided the clues took the child away with a smile on his face, and his voice came from far away.

"Come on, let's go eat. Let's eat stewed elbow first, and then dip the soft bread into the gravy..."

There are various signs that the investigation is on track and moving towards the truth.

the other side.

Castle Street, Queen's Tavern.

In a lively tavern, a group of workers in ragged clothes and covered with cinders were drinking heavily and swearing, while a few wandering warblers were wandering among them.

"Some strange old gentleman."

"Nothing can bring them down."

"almost everyday."

"All crawling across the city."

"Looking for prey - I mean young girls."

"Lead them astray."

"Take away their comfort and happiness."

Along with the cheerful tunes, several workers sang songs, mocking the nobles who did not work but had no worries about food and clothing, and were idle all day long.

The workers couldn't understand that they opened their eyes and started working, hungry and working hard, but in the end they didn't even have a decent place to live.

Where did all this wealth go?

Zhou Tian can answer this question, and so can Du Quan.

That's right, the two brothers are reunited and ready to do big things.

In fact, the owner of this tavern is Zhou Tian. Most of the actors, including Lu Li, received an initial trial capital of nine pounds and fifteen pence, but he was different. He started a tavern that became a hit.

"Gentlemen, today's 'Judge and Jury' night is about to begin. The theme is 'The Ripper Serial Murder Case' and several ladies are needed to appear."

Zhou Tian has a good business acumen. He integrated the role-playing game into the entertainment program of the bar. He appointed himself as the "Judge Baron" and presided over the mock trial, while the guests served as the jury.

Over the past few days, Zhou Tian has figured it out. The most popular topics are divorce cases, emotional alienation between husband and wife, and various vicious cases.

Generally speaking, only men can participate, and pay a one-shilling entrance fee, and purchase designated drinks and low-quality cigars.

But today is different. Zhou Tian and Du Quan set up a new plot based on their own understanding——

The Ripper arrives at the case and accepts the verdict of the Justice Court. During this period, several women are needed to act as actors.

"I regestrated."

“Why not spend a few shillings to experience it?”

"I never thought I would be a jury member one day."

Soon, the room used for the performance was filled, and the guests sat in the jury box, whispering to each other. Of course, they sat upright to make themselves look more like noble lords.

After all, everyone hates capitalists and everyone wants to be them, and Boss Zhou gave the working people a chance to experience it.

Under the gaze of hundreds of eyes, the person responsible for performing Jack came on stage. He was in ragged clothes, with fierce eyes, and was wearing worker's clothes.

Then, Liu Ying, who had received relevant training, appeared on stage one after another and performed in his true colors.

Under the design of the genius screenwriter Du Quan, Jack became a butcher. He worked hard every day to support his wife and children. Until one night, he came home from get off work an hour early and saw a maddening scene:

His wife cheated on her, and in order to satisfy herself, she even engaged in obscene activities, but for the sake of the poor child, Jack endured it.

However, as time went by and the son grew bigger, neighbors began to whisper that the child looked nothing like Jack.
