Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

It is really unheard of for a former suspect to ask the police to monitor him nearby.

Lestrade had been in the police force for three years, thinking he had enough experience to be promoted to captain, but he didn't expect that at the age of 25, he was still too young after all.

His face was stiff, "Mr. Bennet, your suspicion has been released. For safety reasons, you should not touch this case again. Please..."

Before Lestrade could finish speaking to Kelsey, there was another rushing sound.

"Captain, the situation is not good. Another corpse was found on Wanda Street. Like Jason the Ripper, the corpse had its internal organs removed."

The police came in a hurry.Based on the footsteps of normal adult men, Wanda Street is about half an hour away, and it takes about 10 minutes to get there by jogging.

"This way."

Lestrade came to the side and whispered to the police, and learned that the second body had just died.

Combined with the on-site statement, the Whitechapel District Inspection Team No. 06 passed Wanda Street at 30:[-], and there was no abnormality at that time.At this time, it was the time when old Tom discovered Mary's death.

After seven o'clock, several laborers went out to get to work, and found the victim on Wanda Street.Blood flowed all over the floor. It was also a prostitute in her early forties. Linda's abdomen was cut open, and internal organs such as kidneys and uterus were taken away.

It can be assumed that when Jason was about to cut Mary open, he was interrupted, and he pretended to run away, then turned around and hit Kelsey who interrupted him.

Probably hearing Old John's footsteps, Jason ran away in a hurry again.When passing through Wanda Street, Linda was found alone. Less than half an hour later, he committed crimes twice, and the second time he carried out the entire disembowelment.

This kind of killing speed is crazy, even more rampant!

After hearing this, Lestrade frowned. He was unlucky enough to be involved in an unprecedented case just after he was promoted.The letter addressed to Scotland Yard was first sent to the London News Service before being passed on to the police.

The news was spread by good newspapers, and now all London knew that there was a disemboweling maniac targeting prostitutes in the Whitechapel area.

It must be admitted that Scotland Yard did not pay much attention to crime in the slums at first.After all, there is death here every day, and those who die are prostitutes. Many people feel that since they fall, sooner or later they will be plagued by all kinds of bad luck.

However, the murderer's provocative letters to the police and the publicity of the newspapers changed the situation.People are also worried that Jason the Ripper is too brutal and may escalate the killings.

Since five days ago, Scotland Yard mobilized a large number of police forces to search the Whitechapel and the surrounding area.

Regrettably, it is almost impossible to complete the investigation of tens of thousands of migrant workers with hundreds of police officers in a short period of time.The few suspects found so far have all been proven to have no time to commit crimes, and all of them have been released from suspicion.

"Inspector Lestrade, I wonder if we can continue the topic just now."

Kelsey looked casually at the entrance of the alley. It was difficult for a third person to hear the whispers between Lestrade and the police, but she got the general idea by reading her lips.

"There is a second body here. According to what you said, for my safety, the police should provide more guarantees, shouldn't they?"

"Mr. Bennet, believe me, if you are willing to go back to the West End, there is nothing near Buckingham Palace that is safe."

Lestrade held back his anger, "There is no safer place in London than the West End. With my ability, I can't provide a safer place to stay. Unrelated people should not stay at the crime scene, please leave immediately!"

Kelsey glanced at Mary's body. In fact, she was lucky enough to be able to live again. As for the power to handle the case, she will get it back step by step.

Immediately, he made a gesture of invitation to Lestrade, signaling him to take a step to speak.

"What else do you want to say?"

Lestrade could not hide his impatience.No matter what, he will not provide a foothold, there has never been such a rule.

Kelsey's tone was exceptionally gentle, "It's nothing special, just remind the inspector. If I leave with nothing, maybe there will be a report in the newspaper tomorrow.

For example, "Scotland Yard made a major mistake and misidentified enthusiastic people as suspects. Captain L was self-willed and refused the enthusiastic people to provide ideas for solving the case. When will the Ripper be arrested? Will you be the next to die?" Inspector Lestrade You just became the captain not long ago, right?Can you keep your seat? "

"You! Despicable!"

Lestrade clenched his fists, and was furious, his right hand was raised unconsciously.

Kelsey took a step first and directly pinched Lestrade's wrist joints, "Don't be impulsive. I know you want to shake hands. This is not a standard action. In fact, there is no need to refuse my participation in solving the case. Our goals are the same, both Find Jason the Ripper.

As long as the case is solved, the newspaper will read "Captain L is in command, solve the biggest serial murder of the century in ten days. Scotland Yard's elite star is rising." Isn't it good? "

West Siders are cunning because capital never sleeps.

The most difficult thing to deal with a case is to meet the powerful, and they always have many secret methods.

Lestrade had heard a lot of arguments about it, but he didn't expect to experience it himself today.His anger came quickly, but was suppressed again.

Looking deeply at Kelsey, a detective who can pretend to be a poor boy and go deep into the Whitechapel area, people dare not bet on what he will do.

If he succeeds, he may not be praised in the newspapers, but if he is used to being rejected over others, the result will not be beautiful.

"Up to ten days. You should know the bad influence caused by the threat letter. Now let you participate in it. If any news leaks out, how much pressure will I have to bear?"

Lestrade had never doubted Kelsey's identity, and never would have imagined someone so bold.

He explained the bottom line, "Mr. Bennet, for ten days, I will give you a room to stay. Even if you fail to solve the case, you must stop here. Don't do anything to protect your reputation, and don't be tempted to catch it with your own hands. The pride of a murderer. On your honor, dare you?"

"Okay, ten days. I swear on my honor, if ten days can't solve the case, I will never bother you again."

Kelsey gave a solemn assurance that she needed a temporary foothold, but intervening in the case was definitely not for honor and pride on the surface.

The real reason is simple - life should never be trampled on like this.

Kelsey studied many unsolved historical cases in her previous life, among which Jack the Ripper in the 19th century was notorious.

From August to November 1888, Jack the Ripper committed crimes continuously and wrote provocative letters more times, but he never fell into the French Open.Even in the 8st century, the identity of the murderer was still not identified before she died.

It's April 1870, and a serial killer in London calling himself Jason has killed four people by disemboweling him.If Mary, whose autopsy was not completed, is included, five people have been killed.

Kelsey compared the memory of the original owner and determined that the historical process of this place is [-]% similar to her previous life, but there are also many differences.

Some celebrities have never appeared, and some important events have been different, so although it is not precise, it can be called a parallel time and space.

You cannot choose what time and space you live in, but how you live can be chosen.

Like catching a criminal like the Ripper, even if Jason is not the same as Jack in the previous life, the killing must be prevented.

It was Kelsey's choice, it was, it is, and it always will be.

This choice was alien to Victorian values, enough to be called heresy.

In this era, women are proud of being dignified and virtuous, and society and families have instilled in girls a concept of absolute supremacy—marry a good man while they are young.

Although upper-middle-class women study and learn skills such as dancing, playing the piano, riding a horse, tasting tea, and knitting, they don't need and should not have independent thinking.

The lower-class women have to go out to work in order to make a living. It is ridiculous that the same job pays the same amount of labor, and the salary of women is only half or one-third less than that of men.If you want to change your life, you can only find a man with good conditions to marry.

No matter what class, women must respect and obey their husbands, just as after a woman gets married, her rights are legally handed over to her husband, and the wife has no property rights.

To give birth to a boy, keep in mind the existence of the limited succession law.Daughters can inherit part of the family property, but only men have the right to inherit certain family lands.If there are no sons, the ancestral property falls into the hands of side branches.

Kelsey deeply understands this ridiculous rule, because the original owner is the biggest victim.

The original owner was the youngest child of the Bennet family in the north, and had three older brothers.She and her third brother are twins, and they looked almost exactly the same when they were young.

As if by some kind of curse, the Bennet boys in the north died of various causes.

Seven years ago, the original owner was nine years old, and the third brother unfortunately died of influenza.Driven to the brink of madness by the deaths of their three sons, the parents chose to replace their youngest daughter with a replacement.

The third son was registered as the youngest daughter and died, and then the daughter was asked to cut her hair short, abandoning all female habits and living as the third son.In order to ensure that there is no newborn boy, the couple can still keep their ancestral property.

Did you save it in the end?

The mother of the original owner was unable to conceive again in the next few years, and her father became addicted to gambling during the period, and eventually had to sell the ancestral property and land to pay off the debt.

Later, old Bennet died of alcoholism, and his wife also died of depression three months ago.

After burying his mother, the original owner lost his place of residence and had only one hundred pounds left, but he failed to keep the last settling money.

She has a crush on Paul Goodman, a soldier who came to the country, and because she is now a 'male', she can't show a little love, but she doesn't know how to change her identity safely.

In the entanglement and pain, the original owner chose to come to London with Goodman as a good friend, and spent the last hundred pounds on Goodman in just half a month.

Ten days ago, Goodman had no news.The original owner tried hard to find out and heard that he had gone to sea, but the ship was submerged by the storm of the Atlantic Ocean, and no one survived.

Just when the original owner fell into the great grief of the death of his crush, he realized the cruel reality - it is impossible to move a single step in London without money.

The upper-class dignitaries have land, and they can wait to collect rent if they don’t do anything for a long time.Most middle-class occupations are lawyers, pastors, doctors, scientists, university teachers and government officials, all of which require strong professional knowledge.

The original owner did not need to study such majors when she was a daughter, and her parents never arranged such courses for her when she was a son.

I could still do some small business, but the principal of one hundred pounds was spent.He also wanted to join distant relatives in the past, but the relatives cut off contact when his father owed gambling debts.

Later, the original owner did not know how she ended up having to work as a low-level laborer to make money, but she was even less good at dock workers, miners, manufacturers, transporters, cleaners and other hard and dirty jobs.I can only barely do some temporary work as a newspaper boy, and the wages are not enough for the rent.

As a man, it is still difficult to move forward, and lower-class women can choose fewer jobs, mostly in the laundry and clothing industries. It is not difficult to understand why some people become prostitutes when they cannot make ends meet.

Although the death of the original owner had its own reasons, it was also a tragic epitome of this era.

Kelsey sighed for the original owner, but she is currently empty-handed, so she can only make mistakes and continue to disguise herself as a man.

When not strong enough, learn to use the rules reasonably.When one day is strong enough, don't forget to create new rules that you originally wanted.

This time, after Kelsey and Lestrade made an agreement, they first investigated the five crime locations so far.

In an era without road monitoring, DNA and blood screening, and various trace detection equipment, it is difficult to find valuable on-site clues in the chaotic Whitechapel area.The streets are full of sewage and garbage, and even the footprints cannot be extracted, let alone the particles left on the dead bodies.

"Even so, five points can be clarified."

Kelsey returned to Mary's rented house to change the bloody clothes after finishing the survey.After a little cleaning, the eyebrows and other disguises were slightly changed, and changed into the only set of clothes left by the original owner.

Lestrade was inspecting Mary's rented house, a small two-bedroom house, a small one and a big one.Mary lives in a large room by herself, and puts some simple kitchen utensils and damp flour and other food, but there are no valuable clues.

He paused when he heard it, and found five things in such a short period of time?Why does he have no idea at all?

Lestrade turned around to ask specific questions, and saw Kelsey opened the door, as if meeting a prince who came from a fairy tale to reality.

To be more precise, it is a charming prince dressed poorly, wearing a shirt with a yellow collar, a plaid waistcoat, and a worn thin woolen jacket and trousers, and a bowler hat.

It's okay to be down and out, the prince in the fairy tale will always get rich again, no wonder many people yearn for the life of the prince and princess.

Pooh!

Lestrade cursed himself for being blind, because fairy tales are all lies.In reality, he didn't meet the prince, only met the devil.Listen, the devil has spoken again.

Kelsey asked the key point, "Before you go into details, you need to provide an important piece of evidence. What about the autopsy reports of the first three people? How did the murderer get the knife? Did he cut the internal organs? Is he more proficient each time? Or is it proficient from the beginning?

Has Scotland Yard now established a forensic department?Or have you invited foreign aid?Don't tell me, you judge the cause of death for yourself. "

It's his fault too?

Lestrade was helpless, he was just a captain.There are not many doctors who are capable and willing to perform autopsies, and most of them work in universities or hospitals.Where is the police department going to get the money to build a new department?Therefore, most murders are the detective's deduced cause of death.

"Fortunately this time, Professor Conrad in Cambridge was invited for an autopsy. The other two bodies will be sent there this afternoon. I just received a note saying, "Contact H at Bar A at Cam River Wharf for dinner." .Strange, how are they all abbreviations. "

Lestrade waved the note gratefully, so that he would not be ridiculed again.

The aura between the damned people is always one suppressing the other.

He didn't know how he was suppressed by someone he had known for less than five hours.Self-comfort is the devil, and people can't fight the devil, so they can only admit it.It's never unlucky to meet a second devil. "Mo, oh no, Mr. Bennet, do you plan to go together after lunch?"
