A True Story of a Wizard's Life

Gabriel's choice of waiting for Holmes' arrival was very correct. The police arrived soon, led by a thin and strong man. He was older than Holmes. His face was slightly yellow, but his eyes were so rare. , as soon as he appeared on the stage, he calmed down the crowd who were originally chattering and gossiping.

Gabriel guessed that this was Lestrade, whom Holmes mentioned briefly as a barely qualified detective.Although there was no compliment in Holmes' tone, it was not easy to be remembered by Holmes.

"Come on, Mr. Lessinger, let's take a look at this victim together. I really don't want another one to appear."

Lestrade has a good feeling for Mr. Lessinger, whom he just met today. This is a well-known detective recommended by the above. Of course, it is normal that he has never heard of Lessinger’s name before. Just returned to Europe.

Mr. Lessinger assists the police in investigating cases from time to time in the United States. This is his hobby, and his job is a chemistry teacher.Lessinger's father was an Englishman who traveled across the ocean to develop in the United States, which allowed Mr. Lessinger to grow up in the United States, marry a wife and have children. However, because his wife died of illness last year, he took his daughter away from the sad place and came to Europe for vacation. There are also plans to resettle in London.

Mr. Lessinger said that he originally wanted to meet the famous Sherlock Holmes, but it was a pity to hear the news of Holmes' death.With the Jack the Ripper case, he wanted to do his part to keep London safe and orderly.Mainly for his daughter's consideration, he doesn't want her daughter to live in danger at all.

Lestrade didn't know why he got along so well with Lessinger. He obviously only knew each other for three or four hours, but it seemed like an old friend who had been with Lessinger for many years without any sense of distance.Lestrade inevitably compares this Mr. Lessinger with the dead Holmes. Holmes is really his old friend (although neither of them admitted this before Holmes was alive), but getting along with Holmes is really not the same. It's an easy thing to do, you have to suffer from his IQ crush, and his unreasonable disregard for many rules.

Lessinger has a completely different personality. He is willing to listen, is kind to others, and never makes people feel the slightest embarrassment.Should it be said that this is the benefit of being a teacher?Lessinger said his career taught him the tricks of including students.

But in terms of detective profession, Lessinger is not bad at all.

At noon, Lestrade had already exchanged their views on the case with Lessinger.To Lestrade's surprise, Lessinger guessed many things they had missed after looking at the police evidence.

"As we expected, this Jack the Ripper can no longer remain mysterious. Since he walked out of the Whitechapel area, he has walked on the road of falling into a trap."

Holmes carefully observed the new victim. From the details of the woman's clothing, it could be seen that she was the owner of a bakery. There was still a trace of flour between her fingers, and she was about 40 years old, scattered all over the place. Maybe the bread I bought was going to be given to some customer. I should be no stranger to the small road here, but I didn't expect to encounter Jack the Ripper while walking through it.

She died after her throat was slit, and she was stabbed seven times in the stomach and made a big cut. If you ask why the victim's internal organs were not taken out, it is because this place is different from the Whitechapel area. In the central area of ​​London, the police force is more distributed, and the flow of people is also dense, so Jack does not have enough time to commit crimes.

Lestrade also extracted a man's shoe print from the pool of blood, "Same as your analysis, judging from this shoe print, the murderer is indeed a man. He is about eight feet tall and can easily subdue a single woman. I think He fled in a hurry this time, and there may be witnesses to see him."

However, Holmes already felt a gaze staring at him, and he was not surprised to see Gabriel here.Gabriel wasn't one of those kids who waited at home for their daddy to come home. "Gal, why did you come here? You sneaked out again. I told you to stay at home to have dessert!"

Lestrade saw Lessinger running nervously towards the crowd, and then Lessinger bent down and touched the head of a little girl.When Lestrade saw this scene, how could he not understand that it was Lessinger who had captured his daughter and sneaked off to the scene of the crime.

Lestrade saw the little girl's pale face, and knew that she might be frightened, which was inevitable.But the little girl really doesn't look like Lessinger, maybe she followed her mother more.It's just that although the father and daughter don't look like each other in appearance, they are very kind in character.

Even though the little girl was frightened, she still obediently said hello to him and tried her best to smile, which was really cute.A detective like Lestrade, who was used to seeing blood, softened a little. It was difficult for him to maintain a cold attitude towards innocent children.

Gabriel said hello to the approaching Lestrade, but he grabbed Holmes by the corner of his clothes, as if he was still in shock.

Holmes grasped the small hand that was holding onto the hem of his clothes, and said to Lestrade apologetically, "Inspector, you see, we have seen all the clues here, why don't we send the body to the morgue first, I'll look for you at the police station later."

Lestrade really wanted to arrest Jack the Ripper immediately, but besides asking the people around him for confessions, there was no critical progress. Of course, he was willing to let Lessinger go first, and appeasing the children was also an important thing.

Lestrade even thoughtfully told Lessinger to call a carriage to take the child home, instead of walking home on the noisy street.

Of course Holmes agreed, but the warmth on his face disappeared as soon as he entered the house.Said directly to Gabriel, "You saw the real murderer, don't talk, let me describe. He is a man of about 40 years old, not British, he has white hair, about eight feet tall, and his body Physically strong, mentally a little abnormal."

Gabriel really couldn't see the face of the murderer who was running away, so he couldn't judge the last mental state, but the previous ones were all correct.

"Everything else is in line. Is there a problem with my mental state? I haven't been able to face it head-on, so I don't know. But when I saw the clothes he was wearing, they were obviously not high-end fabrics, and they were stained with blood. He was holding a scalpel all the way. Run away."

"You were right in not catching up." Holmes heard Gabriel confirm his guess, but he didn't feel much pleasure in solving the case.

"This is not a clever murderer. If there were more police in London, he would not be able to escape the pursuit. I have already determined who the other party is. He is an immigrant from Northern Europe. The eyes of those policemen are really scary. Practice more, and you can see his different language habits from the provocative letter he wrote.

He has lived in Whitechapel for a long time. He has a medical background. That is his safe range of activities. He can grasp many things. It is just that he left the familiar area and came to central London. There are many clues left on the victim, which can basically delineate the range where he settled.

It's just that even if you have a general range, it's not easy to find a murderer. The other party can hide. Before you catch someone, I sincerely suggest that you'd better read a book at home and don't go around breathing fog.The murderer wasn't very smart, but that didn't mean he wasn't brutal. "

Gabriel wondered, could she tell Holmes not to cast a wide net, she had already located the murderer.

This is a matter of habit. Although he didn't meet Jack the Ripper head-on, Gabriel smoothly cast a tracking spell on Jack the Ripper, and now he can see the specific address.

I'm really sorry, she found the murderer faster than my dear father, this is definitely not cheating.
