A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 18: unscrupulous tabloids

Soon, an article caught Lu Li's attention with a long title - "Scary Silhouette, Another Deformed Corpse Found! ":

On the morning of October 4th, the residents of East Street in the Hoban district were greeted by a shockingly horrific sight.

In an alley near the workhouse, homeless people found the body of a woman. It is reported that the woman suffered great pain before her death. Like an animal, she was cut open by the murderer, and her thighs were even skinned.

……

Soon, the neighbors recognized her identity, Becky Feldman, a young and beautiful Jewish warbler, the men had a good impression of her, and they all called her, and because of her good looks, several men Willing to pay for her.

Lu Li raised his brows.

As expected of an unscrupulous tabloid, a vicious murder case that is insane can be described so beautifully.

However, there is still a certain degree of authenticity in the content. The caesarean section, the skinning, and the strange order of organ placement all correspond to previous cases.

Since the dishes hadn't been served yet, Lu Li pressed his thoughts and continued to read the rest of the newspapers:

Becky doesn't need to go to the streets late at night to solicit customers like most sluts. Therefore, we have reason to believe that this is an acquaintance committing the crime.

The coroner declared that Becky's cause of death was mechanical suffocation.

Another point that must be mentioned is that in the past period of time, nearly forty female corpses in the Eastern District have shown this extremely strange state, but the panic only spread in the Eastern District, especially in the Whitechapel District.

Obviously, the authorities have blocked relevant information, such as The Times and The Penny, and these large newspapers have turned a blind eye to this. Therefore, the gentlemen of Westminster Abbey still live in peace and tranquility.

Seeing this, Lu Li raised his eyes and swept to his side. At this moment, Wensley was staring at the tabloid with a particularly complicated expression on his face.

"In fact, Mr. Vincent has dispatched a large number of police forces to the East District to be responsible for night duty and guard work, but it doesn't help."

"That criminal group is like a ghost, haunted, and the latest case will be reported every morning."

In order to confirm his statement, Officer Wensley added: "On average, there is one police officer stationed every two streets, plus hundreds of plainclothes undercover police officers, still unable to prevent homicides from happening, there is really nothing we can do. ."

"I think Scotland Yard can ask the clergy for help. These cases may be the work of the devil." Duke said half-jokingly.

But Wensley bowed his head and fell into deep thought, as if considering the feasibility of this proposal.

Paganism, so what are the gods that this group of people believe in?

In an instant, Johnny Justice's words came to the police officer's mind. He often heard that there were terrible legends in the Eastern District, but those were just rumors without actual evidence.

And now, with a series of unresolved bizarre events, Wensley began to wonder:

Is there really a power that transcends worldly understanding and manipulates everything in the dark?

While the police officer was thinking about it, Lu Li read the rest of the content in one breath:

This newspaper was fortunate to interview several witnesses. Although they did not directly witness the whole process of the murder, these citizens, who did not want to be named, unanimously claimed that they had seen a strange silhouette around the crime scene. Able to move quickly in an abnormal way.

By coincidence?

How about the same law, is it a fabrication, or is it true.

Lu Li handed the newspaper to Officer Wensley and asked in a deep voice, "Can I check this newspaper?"

With the chief executive Vincent as his backer, Wensley said confidently: "Of course, I'll send someone over immediately after dinner."

"It's best for you to lead the team yourself, ask the names of those witnesses, and confirm whether this is a lie deliberately fabricated by unscrupulous media people to gain sales."

"Ok."

At the end of this article, there is a picture attached. The newspaper company paid a lot of money to hire professional painters to outline the scene of the crime with skillful skills.

The slashes spread all over the body, making people think of Ling Chi, an ancient word.

At the same time, the artist did not forget to add a "horrified" expression to that **** cheek.

"etc."

In order not to frighten the little guy, Lu Li folded the newspaper and prepared to throw it into the bucket next to him.

But Duke suddenly stopped Lu Li. He took the newspaper and carefully examined the picture.

Heraldry.

As time passed, Duke remained silent until a waiter in a vest came to deliver the meal.

"Can I buy this newspaper?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then said cheerfully: "You can just take it away. Our store will buy newspapers from all over London every day and update them in time."

It's almost late at night, and it's raining heavily outside. There won't be any more customers coming in to enjoy the service. Therefore, it's nothing to send out a newspaper that is about to expire.

Besides, the pennies were nothing compared to the meal money.

"What's new?" Officer Wensley couldn't help but ask before Lu left the exit.

"Not sure, I need to study it again."

Duke shook his head ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and looked at Lu Li at the same time, and confirmed, "Should we take the case file?"

"Well, number 41."

"That's fine, let's eat first."

Duke seemed to have found something, but he didn't want to say more, and began to greet everyone to dinner.

Of course, in order to prevent Officer Wensley from thinking about it, he added: "When it is confirmed, Scotland Yard will be notified naturally, and now it's just a few eyebrows, and it's probably an Oolong.

What's more, Scotland Yard is a dominant employer, and we can't deliberately hide anything. "

Most private detectives take over official cases purely for bounties.

But Wensley doesn't think Lu Li and Duke are such people. They are more like "enthusiastic citizens" and "gentlemen" who actively maintain order in London.

Charlotte Holmes.

This name flashed in the mind of the police officer, who also lived in Baker Street and was a warm-hearted and unrequited detective.

After dinner, stop by for a visit?

Thinking of this, Wensley put a modest smile on his face again, and said, "Then I'll ask the two of you. After dinner, I would like to introduce a colleague to meet you."

Duke nodded, acting disapprovingly.

On the side, Xiaomi Gao was holding a knife and fork, just waiting for the guests to eat first.

Under Lu Li's curious gaze, Wensley said in a very relaxed manner while cutting the lamb chops:

"Mr. Holmes, like both of them, lives in Baker Street, and has an interest in the oddest cases."

"He's a very interesting detective."
