Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

Which kind of tragic ending?

Kelsey didn't answer the question in advance.Changing from the fancy bartending just now, she opened the wine bottle in a gentlemanly manner, measured the wine, poured it into the bartender glass, and then gently melted the wine with a bar spoon.A set of movements is smooth and pleasing to the eye.

After a while, a cup of orange-red gradient and another cup of black-blue gradient were brought to Balk and Darcy. "The 'mystery' and 'tragic ending' of the two. "

Balck fell in love with "mystery" at first sight.The orange-red gradient is like the afterglow of the setting sun, dusk is ambiguous, and anything can happen after nightfall.

Slowly pecking, first triple sec liqueur mixed with rum.The orange flavor blends with the thick taste of rum, and a fresh story of sour and sweet begins.

After drinking it again, the ice cubes brought a bit of coldness, which washed away the beautiful illusion that had gathered rapidly.I want to explore in detail, but only the last few are left.Drinking it up in one gulp, it is sweet and slightly bitter, and the story has come to an abrupt end.

"It's very strange, like an encounter. It started in a haze and ended soberly. Looking back and thinking about it, everything seems to exist and it seems to be just a dream. This is the smell of mystery."

After thinking about it for a while, Balk heard Darcy put down his glass as well. "How about your 'tragic ending'? "

Darcy pursed his lips, took a sip of wine and started the story.The opening is always similar, just in time, caught off guard.

But by the end everyone was disillusioned, bitter, heartbroken, disappointed, exhausted.They were all still alive. ①

This ending is different from Shakespeare's, no one dies, but no one sees any hope of being alive.

He will never be so tragic, he can only glimpse the heaviness of the tip of the iceberg.Perhaps, with this cocktail, one can be sure that bartending is more than pompous virtuosity, but nothing more.

"Go ahead." Darcy withdrew from the bar area.Coming here tonight is just to care about my own industry, just to be a spectator.

Balk raised an eyebrow at Kelsey.

For the first time in years, seeing Darcy retreat silently, it was a pleasure to be his friend.

"Professor S, forgive my ignorance, may I have the honor to know which famous writer wrote the second tragedy ending? He can compete with Shakespeare."

Balk looked forward to it undisguisedly, please let Kelsey talk freely, and it's best to get into it so that Darcy's face will change again.God forgive his bad taste.

How would Kelsey say that the second tragic ending is Chekovian.If Chekov existed in this world, he would be just a ten-year-old child in Russia.

Swear to Hans Gross (the founder of modern criminal psychology), she has always been easygoing.What's more, in the face of a bonus of one hundred pounds, just be a quiet and beautiful 'man'.

Kelsey smiled at Balker, "Before you praised mystery, let this be a secret. Secrets are the most mysterious. And, we should talk about business."

"Perhaps you are right. Secrets make one look forward to the future."

Balk nodded helplessly, and drank the wine. It's time to go to medical school.

The Fat Boss had told him that Kelsey and Lestrade from Scotland Yard had come for the coroner's report. "Let's go now."

**

Let the three leave A.

It was Lestrade driving again, driving into Cambridge University at night and stopping in front of the medical building.

Balck outlined the autopsy process. The victim's body was first sent to the mortuary, and then he was responsible for transporting it to the anatomy laboratory of the medical school.

"I hope you won't be disappointed. I did the autopsy. Professor Connard doesn't focus on forensics. He will give me some advice. As you know, the professor's inspection is a necessary procedure."

Lestrade was indeed a little disappointed, he believed in the professor's authority even more.But remembering that Kelsey said that those who participated in solving the case are valuable, Balker should be thanked for taking over the autopsy for nothing. "Thank you very much for your help. I believe in the level of Cambridge University."

While the two were talking, Kelsey took a short tour of the lab and determined that the time difference between the two centuries led to a huge difference in the level of science.

Still, Balck did his best.For the autopsies of the first three victims, he did all the tests that can be done in this era.

Kelsey read the autopsy report first, condensing it into four points.

First, there was no obvious toxicological reaction, and second, there were two fatal injuries, namely a knife in the abdomen and a cut throat.Unable to determine the sequence, no more than 1 minute between two knives.

This coincides with Mary's murder. The Ripper first stabbed Mary and was smashed when he was about to continue committing crimes.

Third, the victim was disembowelled from top to bottom.The knife marks on the external injuries were sharp, and the murderer cut the knife quickly and ruthlessly.

The damage to internal organs is different. The knife is still fast, but the organs that have been cut away remain, and the location of the knife is not precise enough.

Balk motioned for the two to take a look at the dissected tissue remnants. "The fourth is the determination of the murder weapon. Fruit knives were used in the first three crimes. According to the stabbed internal organs, it is basically determined to be the same size knife. It is consistent with the size of the murder weapon left at the scene today."

"But Jason had more than one knife with him." Lestrade was referring to the second murder case this morning. "He dropped one knife, and he could find another one to kill."

It is frustratingly difficult to trace the origin of common knives.

It could come from anywhere, bazaars, second-hand markets, knife shops, burglaries, etc., even from the lower levels of the black market.If Jason was an immigrant, the murder weapon might have been brought from another country, anywhere in continental Europe.

Lestrade sighed, "Gentlemen, I'm sorry, the buying and selling market is chaotic now, and the more expensive the item, the easier it is to trace the source. For example, there is only one custom-made shop in London that can make a top hat worth several hundred pounds." .However, ordinary fruit knife, no special trademark, no one cares where it comes from."

The search for the murder weapon stalled.

Kelsey has already focused on the way he used the knife. "The murderer cut the knife neatly, but did not completely remove the internal organs. Although it cannot be ruled out that he deliberately confused the police, it can be presumed that he does not have a medical background."

"Is this good news?"

Lestrade, and the majority at Scotland Yard, thought from the outset that the chances of the doctor committing the crime were low. "There are no practicing doctors in the whole Whitechapel area, no one there can afford to study medicine."

"Of course it's good news." Kelsey pointed out that the murderer had no medical background, and she could determine his age range corresponding to the points she analyzed in the carriage before.

"The dark environment when committing a crime requires the eyesight and strength to hit a single blow, and the physical strength required to run from one crime site to another. After excluding the proficiency of the medical background, it is roughly estimated that Jason's age is sixteen. Between thirty."

According to this age group, another key criminal psychology can be corroborated.

Previously, based on the fact that the victims were all over 40 years old and their kidneys and wombs were taken away, Kelsey speculated that the cause of the murder was probably related to the role of the mother.

Now, referring to the last two lines of the autopsy report, the victim did not suffer any sexual/aggression, and there was no specific injury to the chest and lower/yin, further excluding the relationship between the crime and sex.

"As mentioned above, the murderer's crime is related to the role of the mother, and the upper limit of his age can be lowered appropriately."

凯尔西提出很简单的减法。一般欧陆女性结婚生子年龄在20岁以上，下层劳工也少有早于17岁，而被害人基本42、43岁。“凶手的年龄上限很可能在25、26岁。”

Lestrade tried to restrain himself from being dumbfounded.

These investigative directions used to be like a mess of wool, but now Kelsey simply sorted them out.

'Snapped!Snapped!Snapped! '

Balk was excited, Criminal Minds was a novel angle to solve the case, "Very good, now that we have narrowed down the age, we can continue to narrow down the scope of investigation. By the way, I haven't said that EE is my anatomy assistant."

"Wait a minute." Kelsey asked the previous question, "What is EE's real name? The fat boss said he couldn't remember."

Balck was about to blurt out 'rest...', but swallowed the words again. "Fat Neil didn't lie to you, he is really not good at remembering people's names. I can't imagine that after being a neighbor to him for more than ten years, he would still get my name wrong.

Later, Fat Neil came up with a trick, and used nicknames when he met people who were interested.The strange thing is that he can remember any nickname no matter how complicated it is. "

Balk smiled back at Kelsey's curiosity. "I would rather say that in the pub we celebrated the mystery rather than uncovering the mystery of the tragic ending.

Now I'm going to keep it a secret too, so let's keep EE's real name a secret for now.One person, one secret, Mr. Bennet, do you agree? "

Lestrade's hand slipped when he was taking notes seriously, and a crooked ink mark was left in the notebook.is there time?He wanted to take back what he said he believed in Cambridge teachers and students.

Can the people of Cambridge still be okay!Either he has name amnesia, or he is so naive that he needs to win a round that day - just for the so-called 'mystery and secret'.

Kelsey smiled slightly, "Okay. Life that can be seen through at a glance is less fun, and the unknown is very interesting."

"Hey! You two, are you sure you're okay? If someone can accurately predict who the murderer is, I would really like that kind of knowledge."

Lestrade hated the unknown, and it would be perfect if he had the ability to recognize the real murderer at a glance. "So, back to the case. Dr. Balker, you just said that EE was an autopsy assistant, and then?"

Balk turned back to the case investigation, "EE found something unusual about the victim. Want to guess?"

"Please let me go, I'm not good at guessing riddles."

Lestrade had guessed a lot about Jason, and now it seemed that the Ripper's true face was being revealed layer by layer, but there was still a layer of fog in front of him.

Kelsey likes to guess riddles, and thinks of a possibility in connection with the threatening letter that first appeared a week ago.

"Did EE find out that an item did not belong to the victim, but belonged to the murderer, and it was found beside the third victim, Biska."

Wait a minute, what does this mean?

Lestrade instinctively disbelieved that Kelsey's guess meant that Scotland Yard had mixed up the evidence at the crime scene.

He carefully recalled the investigation scene eight days ago, and there was nothing wrong, so he hurriedly asked Balk, "Could EE make a mistake? This time, Mr. Bennet made a mistake in his judgment?"

Balk blinked: Inspector, what are you talking about?You wake up.
