The police investigated and questioned the residents of the building.

The deceased went to Miss Christina who lived on the third floor that night, and was killed after leaving. "

"So this Miss Christina was the last to see the dead man."

Xu Ming's eyes flickered.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the murderous little lolita of Jack the Ripper was most likely responsible for this case, but he couldn't say it because he couldn't tell.

You are a foreigner, why do you know so many inside stories?And said you were not an accomplice.

So he could only find a way to guide Holmes III to find the real culprit as soon as possible.

Irene glanced at him, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she quickly calmed down.

She nodded.

"Yes, and the two also had some conflicts over business matters.

Theoretically speaking, Christina had sufficient motives and was the last person to see the deceased, so her suspicion was the greatest.

but……"

"After on-site visits, I quickly ruled out her suspicion.

First of all, the murderer was precise and professional in his knife, obviously engaged in surgery-related occupations.

Secondly, the two of them have similar physiques, and the sound insulation effect of that building is very poor, so it is difficult to kill each other without alarming anyone.

Finally, in the previous two murders, Christina had an alibi.

So, in the end I ruled her out as a suspect. "

Then Irene suddenly looked directly into Xu Ming's eyes, her eyes were sharp and energetic.

"You don't seem surprised at all."

Xu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

This woman is so sharp!

He replied calmly:

"I just don't think anyone is stupid enough to commit such a high-profile crime on their own doorstep."

Irene gave him a meaningful look, didn't delve into it, and continued to say:

"That's true, and of course it doesn't rule out that the murderer took advantage of the police's blind spots.

So the key lies in the connection of the three cases. "

Erin said and pointed to one of the photos.

"First of all, these three cases all happened near the White Church in the East District, and the murderer brutally opened the chest of the deceased and cut off part of the internal organs.

The first case occurred on the evening of August 8. The deceased was Eddie Liz, 7 years old, whose stomach was cut off by the murderer.

In the second case, on the evening of August 8, the deceased Kelly Moira, 8 years old, had her gallbladder removed.

In the third case, on the evening of August 8th, that is, last night, the deceased Jacqueline Chatterley, 9 years old, had her intestines cut out.

And all three of them are related to that special profession. "

Erin concluded.

The location of the murder, the method of killing, the special habit of taking internal organs, the occupation of the deceased...

Xu Ming was taken aback suddenly.

He does know some inside information, and if these clues are connected again, the 'puzzle' hidden in the mist seems to be gradually complete.

"Why does it sound like the ghosts of babies discarded by these special workers are taking revenge on their mothers?"

Xu Ming muttered casually.

He knew very well that Jack the Ripper was a combination of foundlings and ghosts.

But he couldn't tell Irene that directly, he could only induce her step by step.

"That's right! Some important connections are missing!"

Hearing Xu Ming's soliloquy, Irene's body shook suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she immediately started to read the file.

A large stack of files was flipped through by her.

After a while, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, we did miss an important key."

As she spoke, she opened the file in front of her to one of the pages.

"Eddie Liz once gave birth to a girl, but the child died due to lack of care, and the doctor finally found that the child was starved to death.

The police took Eddie Liz back to the police station for interrogation. Eddie Liz confessed directly that she was very hungry at the time and only cared about eating for herself, but forgot to feed her children.

The court was planning to give a heavy sentence, but the jury considered her poor family and objective factors, so they only sentenced her to dereliction of duty as a guardian, and she was released after six months of detention. "

A strange look suddenly appeared on Xu Ming's face.For such a ridiculous reason? !

Irene ignored Xu Ming's expression, she directly turned the file back a few pages, then pointed to the file and said:

"Then there's Kylie Moira, who was doing well and then lost her job and sold her house because of laziness.

So she began to engage in special work.

She is said to have been seen throwing the baby into the Thames.Because no body was found and the witnesses were not very sure, the matter was left alone. "

"Finally Jacqueline Chatterley.

She is said to have thrown women into the Thames who tried to escape her grasp, several of whom were pregnant..."

The inside story of the case learned from Irene made Xu Ming more certain of his opinion.

What he faced was not a living murderer, but a ferocious ghost made up of countless baby spirits!

She is currently torturing and killing women who have killed babies, children, and engaged in special jobs according to a certain pattern.

Perhaps in her eyes, this is just a fun game, a 'little game' that not only punishes 'mother', but also entertains her!

"What do you think of the law of the murderer killing the three of them? Mr. Xu Ming."

Erin asked suddenly.

"It really is that one."

Xu Ming said with a serious face.

"I think so too."

Erin's expression also became serious.

"The Seven Deadly Sins!"*2

The two said in unison.

I saw Irene pointing to the photo of the first deceased.

"Eddie Liz, Stomach, Gluttony."

Then her finger slid to the second picture.

"Carrie Moira, Gallbladder, Sloth."

Finally Erin's fingers landed on the picture she had just pinned.

"Jacqueline Chatterley, Gut, Greed."

But Irene soon showed distress again.

"But there are tens of thousands of women engaged in special jobs in the Eastern District alone. How can we identify the murderer's target from this huge crowd..."

She subconsciously put her index finger into her mouth and bit her nails lightly.

Xu Ming didn't bother her for the time being, but began to browse this world-famous study on his own.

After a while, Irene sighed, as if accepting her fate.

"No, there are still some necessary clues missing..."

There was a little unwillingness in her eyes, and she murmured to herself in a low voice:

"Damn it! If grandpa is still here..."

She shook her head violently, took a long breath, resumed her indifferent posture, and then looked at Xu Ming.

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

Xu Ming waved his hand.

"It's okay, I can understand. After all, a great ancestor will bring more pressure to future generations."

Erin's eyes softened a little.

"Thank you for your understanding."

But soon she changed the subject suddenly and pointed the finger at Xu Ming. "However, Mr. Xu Ming, can you explain why you know that the murderer is related to abandoned babies?"

Xu Ming couldn't help but thumped.

Sure enough, the induction just now was a bit deliberate, and people immediately saw the flaws.

He couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart.

Sure enough, it's too bad for a person like him who only has a small brain to deal with a real smart person.

Although Irene had obviously suspected him, Xu Ming still didn't intend to admit it, he decided to play dumb.

"happen!"

"happen?"

Erin frowned slightly.

"That's right! It's just a coincidence!"

Xu Ming insisted.
