Chapter 797 The dissected Venus

Others travel to historical sites, or to find local food, but Pomona and Hermione like to go to the library.

As an ancient school, the University of Padua has a great reputation in medicine, psychology, agronomy, and engineering, especially the School of Medicine. It is the second highest school in Italy in financial allocation, the first is the University of Bologna, if it is not because of Vero The Nana campus is independent, and the medical school of the University of Padua is even stronger. There is a yellow house in the botanical garden, which stores all the books of the botanical school. It is only open to students of the medical schools of Padua and Bologna. There is a kind of wooden book in it, and each book only introduces one kind of plant. It not only contains text content, but also plant specimens, which are very clearly classified.

Many books in the medical school are as old as antiques. In this way, holders of a doctorate in restoration of cultural ancient books can borrow books from any branch library in the university, even those precious manuscripts. In the 15th century, Ander On the cover of "The Structure of the Human Body" published by Ray Vesalius, the hall of the classical building is full of people, they whisper to each other, they look towards the hall, there is a skeleton sitting on the railing and looking at the sky, strangely, No one seemed to notice it, and no one seemed to panic because of his presence, many of them were peeping at the woman lying on the dissecting table.

Medieval European doctors have always been curious about the female body but incomprehensible.Because it is unpredictable and confusing.Because of this confusion, many wonderful remarks have been derived.For example, some doctors believe that the female body is just a deformation of the male, while others suggest that the inside of the uterus is actually divided into seven small rooms, which are related to whether the mother will give birth to a boy or a girl.

There is another reason for the mystery of women's bodies. In traditional societies, it is mostly women who provide other women's medical services, such as midwives.Although the medical profession has long had a set of views on gynecology or obstetrics, in actual implementation, men still rarely participate.In other words, men have no way of understanding or commenting on the body knowledge that women have passed down from generation to generation, and are excluded from the knowledge network.

But starting around the 15th century, a new attitude emerged in medical knowledge about the female body.The female body remains mysterious, but no longer inexplicable.On the contrary, male doctors in turn have to question the knowledge in the female world.In their eyes, that oral knowledge may be nothing more than unreflected and fallacious speculation.

It is against this background that Vesalius’ anatomy scene emerges. When women can only rely on conventional wisdom, men begin to use dissection to explore women’s bodies; Printed his own medical philosophy into a book.Knowledge that has been written down has achieved the status of absolute authority.

They become objects of observation by the male doctor and no longer have their own knowledge, or the right to interpret their body, even though it is her own.

Are there really seven chambers in a woman's womb?The first victim, Martha Tubb, was stabbed 39 times, but she was not disemboweled. On August 8 of the same year, another prostitute, Mary Ann Nicholas, was found dead in the stocking area near Whitechapel. , She was disemboweled and her intestines were pulled out, but the problem was that she was pregnant, and the baby girl was also stabbed to death with a knife. Such a uterus cannot confirm whether it is the same as the legend.

Eight days later, Anne Chapman was discovered. The uterus and bladder in her pelvic cavity were cut and taken away by the murderer, and the incisions were very neat, which should be done by a person who is proficient in anatomy. In "On the Structure of the Human Body" "In this book, many drawings depicting the human body are attached to explain the structure of the human body.They come in a variety of poses, brooding, waving their hands, or twisting oddly from being suspended.But they have one thing in common - they are all men, but on the cover is a dissected woman.

It's like someone buying a Playboy-like women's swimsuit magazine only to find it's full of men's swimsuits.

Female corpses are hard to come by. Smart girls know how to protect themselves. There are dissection theaters in many places in Europe. It is a performance that is both entertaining and educational. The supply of corpses is beginning to exceed demand. The supplier either goes to the tomb, or even It is common for people to kill people to provide the general situation, which makes the anatomy gradually full of controversy. Against this background, Italy hired the excellent wax figure artist Susini to make a large number of Human anatomy wax figures, trying to create a human encyclopedia made of wax, while avoiding the messy mess that is easy to occur when dissecting corpses, let alone using corpses as the main material of human anatomy knowledge, which leads to theoretical disputes , In Padua's Anatomy Theater, there is also a wax figure of a woman who was disembowelled. Not only does she have delicate white skin, silky long hair and blurred eyes, but she is also different from the general anatomical display that mostly uses male corpses as the main body. Not only the organs, but also the blood vessels and ligaments around the intestines are simulated very delicately. Wax can vividly imitate the elasticity and luster of human skin, hair and eyelashes made of human hair, eyeballs made of glass, fine The organs, circulatory system and open abdominal cavity are like a real human body. She lies peacefully on the silk in the glass coffin, wandering between life and death as if her soul is out of her body.

It is said that the dissected Venus placed in Florence is so fine that it can open seven layers, take out organs layer by layer, and finally observe the fetus in the womb, which is several months old.

Men's curiosity about women has changed from taking off their clothes to opening their bellies to see what's under the skin, women will feel disgusting looking at that wax figure, but there's no guarantee any pervert will be right It fascinates, and they also let her wear a tiara and a pearl necklace, and give the living woman, let her exchange some food, so that she won't live on the streets, wouldn't it be better to be targeted by Jack the Ripper?
It is not so much liking something as liking a certain desire.

Jack the Ripper is not necessarily a person. This does not mean that a gang commits the crime, but that each time the case is executed by a different murderer. The first one who killed Martha Tubb with 39 knives may be to vent his anger. Rejected, or received some kind of humiliation from a woman, there happened to be a drunk woman, the surroundings were so dark and no one was passing by, there were no cameras at that time, and no one knew about killing her, why not do it?
The link between the second and third victims is the cut uterus, which may have been used for research, and those "Venus" wax figures, one with a large intestine still tied with a bow of ribbon, placed in the Middle Ages. In the famous Venetian glass coffin, their uterus may also have been collected by the murderer to make specimens and placed in a certain glass container.

Both men and women despise prostitutes very much. No one cares about them, and no one understands why they have fallen to that point. They have nothing but their female bodies. In Gone with the Wind, Melanie can be equal Mrs. Warren has to be treated, that is the real saint, Pomona just wants to find the truth of what happened back then.

The serial killers in The Fog gave some people an opportunity to hunt humans and blame "Jack," who medical examiner Patsy Clark believes killed three of the victims , in the double corpse case, Elizabeth Stead was not disemboweled, and killed two people in 45 minutes, the "cooling period" was too short, Pomona preferred another inference, when the Ripper made London panic , the police stepped up their patrols, and it was not so easy to do it. It happened that Elizabeth's body attracted the attention of the police at this time. Throat slit, intestines thrown to the right breast, part of the uterus taken away, her kidneys were missing, and her face and nose were cut off, and there was a big chevron, some thought it was a masonic symbols of.

But in the anatomy theater, they saw "human face masks", those are deformed and distorted faces, they should be real human specimens, not wax figures like anatomical Venus, if "Jack" intends to put Catherine Eddos's face was completely torn off, so her identity could not be confirmed, unless the police at that time had the current facial restoration technology.

Due to the extent of the facial disfigurement, it was impossible to identify the deceased based on public records.In the end, it was the pawn ticket in Catherine's pocket that was recognized by a friend before it was confirmed that it was Catherine.Catherine's facial injury was randomly hacked for more than 5 minutes, and there was a long jagged incision in her abdomen, all the way down from the breastbone to the pelvis.With this incision, Jack the Ripper removed her uterus and left kidney.

"Jack" only had 15 minutes from impromptu start to escape. It took at least 10 minutes to take the face and dissect it. The remaining 5 minutes had to escape and kill. Leaves marks on the cartilage of the spine.

The most prone to mistakes in the hectic, maybe Jack was a resident near the Bishop's Square at that time. After hearing that Jack the Ripper appeared again, he came out to watch the fun. After he realized that everyone ran to Elizabeth, the bishop who came and went The square became an "empty city", so he improvised to kill the drunken Catherine.

He should have turned his back to her, otherwise the blood from the cut throat would be all over his body, and walking on the street with so much blood would easily be spotted by the police.

If you live nearby, you can run back home after killing in a hurry, close the door, make his "trophies" into specimens and store them up, and continue working the next day pretending not to know.

Someone once speculated that "Jack" was a foreigner, perhaps a refugee or an envoy from another country, but no one thought about studying abroad.

He studied abroad for a period of time, enjoyed the free air, and returned to the oppressive environment in the UK. He wanted to maintain a decent appearance of having received higher education, but in private he was very eager to "understand" women.

If you live alone, you can take them home and torture them slowly, instead of dissecting them on the street. The last victim, Mary, was completely dissected, but this time the kidneys and uterus were not taken away, and Mary’s young heart was replaced. This is the subject of Jack the Ripper's next research - what is in a woman's heart? Others, such as the same attack on women, but three people ganged up and failed to kill the target are counterfeiters. The victims said one was a minor.

Demons do exist, but they are usually imprisoned by law and morality, and they will run out to revel when they have the opportunity.

Venetians love to party in masks, Jack may or may not have, but it doesn't matter anymore.

He listened to the devil's trill, and if it weren't too obvious to tie a bow on the intestines, he might have tied one to the victims too.

Women usually kill with guns and poison. Only men kill with their own hands and knives.

Nietzsche said: Say important things three times.

Men are afraid that women will look down on them, and women are afraid that men will kill them.

Men are afraid that women will look down on them, and women are afraid that men will kill them.

Men are afraid that women will look down on them, and women are afraid that men will kill them.

Smart girls should know not to sneer at a man casually, their self-esteem is extremely fragile, a cat has nine lives disemboweled, and its intestines are taken out to make violin strings, not to mention a woman has only one life.

"What are you thinking?" Severus asked suddenly behind her.

"I was thinking, why does that violin have five strings." She put the book back on the shelf, and then gestured for the posture of holding the violin. The thumb does not participate in the performance, only the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger vibrato.

"Maybe the man has six fingers," Severus said, and then he fell silent.

"what happened?"

"I was wondering how many fingers Pete Pediru has." He stared at a point in the void. "If he had an extra finger, Black's 12 years in Azkaban would have been wronged."

Normal people have 5 fingers, and six fingers are deformed and need to be cut off.

But for a violinist, the ability to play more complex music with six fingers is a gift.

She sighed. Forensic doctors often dissect female corpses, so he didn't think of this. The police don't dissect corpses and don't understand medicine. He only read autopsy reports and didn't think of this.

If Pomona had been in England, she would not have noticed that there was an anatomy theater in the world.

"What a freak show." She whispered, a twisted soul would have such weird thoughts, Jack is not a wizard, but he also has a hairy heart, if any woman marries him...
