“It’s not really difficult,” Holmes said. “I honestly heard Griegson’s words and thought I had encountered a rarely seen incident, at least the kind that happened on Allen Island in 1832. I went to the site and saw that it was not a big deal. Let me talk about the John Textile Factory. “

Sherlock Holmes paused, “Remember what we chatted in the afternoon?”

“You are talking about the influence of professional opponents?”

“Yes, I have been doing research in this area recently, I have found many people from all walks of life in the city of London, including bricklayers, fishermen, cooks, typists, etc … I go out every morning and I have been slum area After the sun goes down, it took a lot of time to study their hands, compare with each other, and with other people in the same industry. The results are remarkable. I am planning to organize it into a paper. ” Holmes said, “Just by the river, I focused on checking the palm of the child and comparing her palm with my research results. Although her body had been soaking in the water for quite some time, there is no doubt that she I work in a textile factory, so your previous observations are no problem, because long hours of work make her physically weak, and she may still be ill at the time of the incident. “

“But there are many textile mills in London, why can you be sure what John textile mill she is in?”

“Good question,” said Holmes. “I tend to think that the place where the corpse was abandoned and the place where the corpse was found are very close. This is also a good explanation. The time when the corpse was found was during the day. Although the river was a bit foggy, the visibility was In fact, it 鈥檚 okay, plus there are cruise ships or cargo ships passing by from time to time. If there are corpses on the river, it is difficult to float too far to be found. 鈥?/p>

“Wait, but you said her body was soaked in water for quite a while.”

“Yes,” Holmes cunning smiled, “but I was also asked to pay attention to my wording. I said that her body was soaked in water for quite a while, rather than floating for quite a while.”

“Is there any difference between the two?”

“Of course, judging from the state of the corpse, the victim’s death time should have been yesterday night. The perpetrator accidentally killed her by mistake. Afterwards, the whole person was in a panic. He threw the corpse into the river and should have tied the stone and so on, so that it will not be discovered, people will only think that the child is missing, every day in this city, there are people who ca n鈥檛 get along, and especially for the lower class like her, not many people care about her Wherever you go, you must know that the police have completely different attitudes towards disappearance and murder. “

“Then why her body was found by the police again.”

“There are many possibilities. Perhaps the perpetrators are too nervous to fasten the rope. Maybe it happened that something broke and broke the rope …” said Holmes. “I’m not guessing, except for the time I said. In addition to the problem, I did find traces of being tied up by the rope on the victim’s wrist, so that things could be explained, her body was soaked in the water for a long time, but she was really out of sleep and was found. The place didn’t take long. “

“John Textile Mill is the nearest textile mill here in Shangluo. It is also the first place I suspected. In addition, I also found some blue crystals in her hair, which are copper sulfate 5-hydrate formed when copper sulfate meets water, and Coincidentally, the chance next door of the John Textile Mill is a chemical plant, which is the most important basis for my final inference. “Holmes said.

“100 is not as good as seeing it. This has raised the criminal investigation to a level close to sophisticated science.” Zhang Heng also expressed his heartfelt admiration.

Sherlock Holmes said that although the praise did not say anything, the expression on his face seemed to be very useful. Paused continued, “As for the inference about the perpetrators, there is nothing terribly frank about it.”

“Hope to hear the details.”

“We all know that the perpetrator wanted to take advantage of the victim, but was violently resisted by the child. She was brave and had been fighting each other, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too obvious, so she still did not Escaped, but the guy was not comfortable for too long, and the victim was scratched and the skin was broken. Although the body was soaked in the water for a long time, there is still some skin tissue left in the nail cracks, which is probably his fly into a rage out of humiliation, she strangled her in one breath. “

“Wait … you said your child was strangled?”

“Yes.” Holmes was affirmed.

“But wasn’t her head hit hard?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Like I said, there was a fight between the two. Judging from the traces of the wound, I tend to think that her head hit the table, but it was not fatal. It was suffocation, not water. I was suffocated, but my throat was choked, and there was bruise on her neck, but it was not obvious after soaking in water. The average person is not easy to find out. It 鈥檚 dark, if it 鈥檚 a man and a woman that I do n鈥檛 know, it 鈥檚 almost impossible to be in the same room. 鈥?/p>

“What about height, you said he was almost 6 feet tall, how did you infer it?” Zhang Heng asked.

“Well, it takes a little skill,” Holmes said. “I simulated their position at that time … Well, the woman is under the man and the man is up, and then you can determine the direction and angle of the palm against the bruise on the neck, and then The approximate height of the perpetrators is similar to mine. “

Holmes talked eloquently and finally sorted out all the previous inferences before serving.

In this world, many things are like this. When I first heard the conclusion, it felt amazing and incredible, but once I knew the inference process, it seemed to be less mysterious, like magic of a magician.

“Positive reasoning is easy. For example, when you see bread, you know it is breakfast, but the opposite is not true. This is also the ability of a detective to exercise. If you want to learn, you can start by guessing a profession, starting from a person’s sleeve, Shoes, cocoon skin of the thumb of the index finger, fingernails, shirts, expressions, etc. Guess what occupation he is in, such as the gentleman at the table behind you, just by observing me, I can know that he has just returned from Afghanistan and is a Military doctor. “

Zhang Heng hearing this For the first time tonight, a strange expression appeared on my face.

Sherlock Holmes thought Zhang Heng did not believe it, and opened the mouth and said, “We can make a bet to see who of us can say more about him accurately. Rest assured, I have never seen him before.”
