"Mr. Logan, I think you should have heard of the recent frequent murders near Whitechapel."
Wang Xu laughed immediately after hearing this: "It's not just what I heard..."
Cat Master signaled him with his eyes not to say anything, and then calmly replied: "Yes, I have paid attention to it."
Amberley said: "What are your opinions on this case?"
Cat replied: "Haha? Opinion? I can give you a list of suspects right away. There are dozens of people on this list, including two knights, a duke, several writers, and a weirdo
American autodidacts, porters, psychiatrists, painters, sailors, poets, even students of the occult and black magic, and of course a few doctors.”
"Please...please wait a moment...are you kidding me?"
"Of course it's not a joke, but this list actually means nothing. Until we see the truth clearly, these are just 'suspects'. Even if a woman or a famous celebrity in the literary and art circles appears on this list, it is not enough.
strange."
Amberley said slightly excitedly: "Oh! I knew it! Mr. Logan, such an unusual case must have aroused your interest!"
Wang Xu complained in Chinese: "That's..."
Mr. Cat added: "I remember this case was taken over by Sheriff Ethelney Morton, right? What? Amberley, you also participated in the investigation?"
Amberley did not shy away from anything. He said directly: "Chief Morton has reached a dead end. Everyone can see this. In fact, everyone wants to touch this case, even Inspector General Thomas Arnold."
We have all gone to see the relevant evidence, but no one dares to touch it. Alas... This is often the case with some difficult cases. People always want to take credit for the matter, but are afraid of taking responsibility."
Mr. Cat said: "Okay, Amberley, even if you say so, it is impossible to remove yourself from this kind of people. Let me say so... If this case is solved by me, a private detective, then
The face of the police will undoubtedly be very disgraceful, and you don’t want to see this, so there is a way to get the best of both worlds, that is, I help you solve the case, and you get the credit, and I just need some fun in solving the case. What do you think?
How about this proposal?"
Amberley said: "I really don't know what to say..."
Wang Xu sighed: "They say that we Chinese are hypocritical if we give half a thumbs up. It seems that these so-called gentlemen are almost the same as us at heart."
Master Mao turned around and said to him: "You are still a history major. You came from the 'Glorious Revolution'. That is the pride of the British. Even if you find a loser on the street, he can still look good."
You should try to behave like a gentleman. Every nation in the world has some bad qualities. You have to remember this."
Amberley didn't know what they were communicating in Chinese. He asked tentatively: "Mr. Logan? What we just said..."
Mr. Cat said: "Of course, just do as I say. I think you won't have any objections, but the condition is that I must share all the resources you can enjoy. I want first-hand information. I
I want to see evidence, handwriting identification, laboratory reports, whatever I can get."
Amberley said: "Don't worry, Mr. Logan, I will do my best."
"Then why are you still sitting here?" Master Cat asked.
Amberley suddenly realized: "Oh! I understand, sir. I will sort out all the information so far and come back. Well... you can see if you are free tomorrow night..."
Cat Master said sharply: "What did you say?"
Amberley immediately changed his words: "Tomorrow morning! Everything will appear on your desk tomorrow morning! Then I'll take my leave first!" He ran out of the room in a hurry, as excited as a child.
Wang Xu walked over and closed the door, then turned around and said, "I can't understand... You have such a bad attitude, but he still responds like a grandson."
Mr. Cat picked up the coffee cup and sneered: "Amberley is indeed a very capable detective. He has a reasoning mind, a keen sense of detail, and the courage to be calm. What he lacks is just profound knowledge and experience.
, when he possesses this last item, he will dare to think outside the box and become a very good police officer. But his best thing is that he is good at seizing opportunities. He has undoubtedly seen the benefits of promotion from this case.
opportunity, so even if I really ask Amberley to serve me like a grandfather, he will definitely do it."
Wang Xu sighed: "Hey...it seems that he will definitely be disappointed this time. According to what you mentioned to me, the Ripper case was not solved until 1892. The police were disgraced, and even the Queen of England was
People from all walks of life are criticizing them for their incompetence. Amberley's involvement in this case is simply a discredit to his career..."
Master Cat said: "It has nothing to do with me anyway..."
Wang Xu added: "By the way, have you ever thought about the impact that your involvement in the investigation of this incident will have on history?"
Master Mao shook his head: "My original intention of opening this detective agency is to make a name for myself as a private detective in London, and then let the police ask for my help. Generally speaking, a private consultant like me is unlikely to be hired.
Even if it is recorded in history, it is a general trend for names like Logan whose origin cannot be traced to gradually fade out of people's sight and disappear. Time and space will inevitably correct the extra names in this history. When it comes to our
In this era, there are no records at all, so... Brother is just a legend at best."
Wang Xu thought for a while and then said: "It seems that Elstein's appearance has shortened the process of the matter a lot. I didn't expect you to join the investigation of the Ripper case so soon."
Mr. Cat replied: "Don't talk nonsense. The Central News Agency will receive Jack's first letter two days later, and then the name 'Jack the Ripper' will be born. If you let it out now,
, he will be the number one suspect immediately.”
Wang Xu said: "Tch...I don't understand this. Since you know so much about the various developments of this case, why do you still want to share incomplete information from the police at the end of the 19th century?"
Master Mao snorted coldly and said: "Because the things I see in the future, except for some dates and death evidence, are useless. Only the most vivid evidence can allow the detective to see the nature of the murderer. Those in the future will be useless."
The conclusions drawn by the critics are nothing more than sensationalism. For example, a certain biologist in Australia, I don’t know if she is a feminist or a hothead, said with certainty that Jack is actually a woman based on DNA testing; others said
The Ripper was Prince Albert Victor, the grandson of Queen Victoria, who was the morgue caretaker, and Robert Mine, who was Lewis Carroll who wrote "Alice in Wonderland"; the most outrageous one actually said Churchill
His dad is the Ripper...
The conclusion drawn more than a hundred years later can be regarded as nonsense. Most modern people's minds have been so suffocated by fame and wealth that they have lost their reason and moral integrity. They always like to make a splash on some academic event and crush historical figures.
To achieve their own interests, they even dug out the so-called 'Cao Cao's Tomb' a few days ago, but they still don't say it is true, 'Green mountains are like waves flowing into Zhangzhou, and there are eight or nine hills west of Tongque Terrace'.
Haven’t read them all?”
Wang Xuxu said with eyes: "You have complained so much... all you want to say is that the real murderer can only be solved by you, right..."
Master Mao laughed conspiratorially: "But... I also have to thank history. No detective can bring the real murderer to justice at this time, and those speculations in the future can be ignored, so
, for the real murderer that no one knows, I can use private methods to make him disappear from this world..."
Wang Xu continued what he said: "And this will not have any impact on history... because the identity of the Ripper is actually unknown... You are really poisonous..."
Mr. Cat put away his smile: "But... I think this matter has other meanings. At the same time that the Ripper stepped onto the stage of history, London became a 'dark city', which shows that this person is not only responsible for
It has an impact on the human world, and it also has some special significance for the world beyond what we know..."
Wang Xu said: "What is that?"
A white stone was placed on the table, and Mr. Cat drank the coffee in one gulp: "Then you have to ask her."
