My years as a menswear boss

Jiqiu finally saw the assembled female corpse in the morgue.Only the face is intact, the body is like a rag doll.She always felt as if she had seen this woman somewhere.

"Nicole Kelly may have worked as a Filipino maid in addition to being engaged in a special industry." Ji Qiu picked up the pale arm of the corpse. Hands that do rough work.

"But as far as we know, she only has that one job, and her second job has not been found." The young police detective flipped through the records.

Without a word Holmes examined the assembled body.

"I've seen her." A strange face flashed in Jiqiu's mind, "When I was investigating David Hockley, she was the proprietress in the hotel in the deep alley."

It stands to reason that she didn't have much impression of these western faces, but the woman in the dilapidated hotel gave her a weird feeling.

Even though his appearance is unrecognizable to everyone, Jiqiu still remembers that face because of his nervous behavior.

"It's so strange, she is obviously the proprietress, why did she become a prostitue?" It was only four months since that first encounter, but her identity has completely changed.

Jiqiu carefully explained the location of the hotel and the process of the first meeting to the detectives of Scotland Yard.

"Why don't you ask David Hockley? He lived there temporarily and knew far more than me." Jiqiu suggested after finishing the transcript.

"David Hockley committed suicide in his cell half a month ago." The detective replied in a low voice.

"Suicide?" This is too coincidental.

"He sharpened his nails on the wall and cut his arteries. When he was found the next day, he couldn't die anymore."

An apparently disorderly case, but because of some just-right coincidences, the case has become a bit confusing.

"The clue is broken again." Jiqiu patted himself on the head in frustration.

"Unusual phenomena can always provide some clues. As long as it is not a case with no features, it will not be so difficult to detect. We have to go to the hotel one step ahead of Scotland Yard." Holmes' opinion is opposite to that of Ji Qiu. So complicated.

"I always feel that there is someone behind the murderer who has been promoting the development of the matter." Jiqiu glanced at Holmes, and she thought of a criminal whose IQ was no less than Holmes. Did he intervene in this case?

"Why are you looking at me?"

No, I'm looking at the sun! " Jiqiu didn't expect such a veiled sight to be caught, and immediately refuted it back.

The two looked up at the gray sky together. London, polluted by heavy industry, had fewer sunny days than later generations. Obviously, Jiqiu made a lame excuse.

"He will continue to commit crimes." Holmes burst into words without beginning or end.

"At least in a short time, probably not." Jiqiu didn't want to face the famous Jack the Ripper at all. "Scotland Yard should remind those ladies."

"From the time he killed the first person, he has tasted the thrill of killing. From the second poor woman he killed, it can be seen that the method is simply a leap. He will not stop."

"Are you so sure that the two cases were committed by the same person?" Jiqiu's guess was only because he was familiar with Jack the Ripper's name.

"The depth of the knife edge, he has a habit of stabbing the knife into the victim's abdomen first, and then cutting to the chest cavity, even the first victim is like this, in order to vent his excitement of committing the crime for the first time, so he chose to dismember him Nicole Kelly.

When it came to the second victim, he was going to be more agile. He didn't torture the victim a second time, it was more like a wolf occasionally giving a tooth sacrifice. "

The expression on Holmes's face was still very calm, Ji Qiu couldn't imagine what kind of case could make this genius' face change, even if it was such a bloody case, he described it as a trivial matter.

"Sir, I'm curious. What kind of criminal will make your expression change?" Jiqiu asked the doubts in his heart.

"Have I not shown enough interest in the case?" asked Holmes.

"But you look the same as you always have."

"No, compared to those cases that sound like injecting drugs, it is enough to attract me."

"Even if you said that, I wouldn't let that kind of thing appear in 221B."

Jiqiu interrupted her boss's unrealistic fantasies expressionlessly. Having experienced the education of her previous life, she hated that kind of contraband deeply.

Although Holmes can control himself, Jiqiu still doesn't want him to rely on that kind of thing.

"It stimulates your brain, you know, I'm always chasing the mental high."

Holmes stopped talking halfway through, because Bai Dianzi looked at him like he looked at those heinous criminals in prison, "Well...if there are more interesting cases."

"Oh, man." Jiqiu sighed and climbed into the carriage by himself.

holmer who stayed put

There was a rare second of blankness on Si's face. He must have been ridiculed by his assistant. He lifted his long legs and boarded the carriage, "Gary, your pocket money for this month is gone."

"Oh, I don't care." Ji Qiuwo adjusted a comfortable posture in the corner of the carriage, with her hands clasped together. Unlike Holmes, who always likes to run outside, she prefers to be outside in the wet and cold weather. Organize documents in the apartment.

"You are teething now. I will tell Mrs. Hudson and Watson not to bring you those sweet and greasy food." Holmes raised the brim of his hat.

"You're cheating!" Jiqiu couldn't calm down for a while, accusing angrily.

"You are too naive."

The deep alley can only accommodate two people passing side by side, and the coachman glanced at the people in the carriage with a troubled expression.

Jiqiu jumped out of the carriage first, paid the money, and gave him some tips to wait here. There are very few carriages passing by in this kind of place. She doesn't want to walk two streets to catch a carriage in the cold wind.

This is the third time Jiqiu has come to this alley, but each time she has bad memories. The first time she just came to this world, she was so hungry that she rummaged through the garbage to eat, and the second time she met the suspect. , the third time because of the victim.

Earth-shaking changes have taken place in her body, but this alley is exactly the same as when she first came here.The stench of decay and gray rats burrowing from the sewers.

The door of the hotel was locked with a brass lock, and the dust on the window glass showed that it had been unoccupied for some time.

"Hey, kid over there." Ji Qiu caught a figure poking his head by the wall, and took out the usual tip from his pocket, "If you can tell where the boss here is, the five shillings are yours gone."

The little waif in the corner originally wanted to run away, but when he saw the five shillings in Jiqiu's hand, he couldn't help running over, "...the old man Pukins moved away a month ago."

"What about the lady boss here?"

"She always messed with the guests of the hotel when Pukins was away, and Pukins finally found out and called her out."

The clue was broken again, and Jiqiu felt a little annoyed, "Do you know where Pukins went?"

"Sorry, sir. I don't know."
