A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 30: arraignment (2)

"Katie? Come out."

The sound of the door opening woke the drunk man up, but the drunkenness on his body hadn't dissipated.

And Katie shrank back instinctively, she didn't want to be interrogated, because this was the first step on the gallows, and she couldn't get out no matter what.

However, just like when she came, in the wailing sound, two burly police officers took the lewd woman out.

In addition, to prevent Katie from going mad and attacking the two officers, after entering the interrogation room, an experienced detective put a pillory on her.

It was an upright stick with an iron plate on it, with holes for the prisoner's arm and head.

The principle is extraordinarily simple. As long as the pivot is moved slightly, the prisoner will spin several times in panic.

Katie had seen such a scene. While laughing, she secretly sighed that if it were herself, she would definitely not be able to withstand the double torment from both the mind and the body.

"You are only three steps away from the death penalty."

Officer Wensley calmed himself, sat on the seat in front, and looked at Katie, the prostitute who killed a single mother and who may have carried several lives, and said word by word:

"Transfer to judicial organs for a final trial and confirmation of the sentence."

"Then, take this torture tool to the streets, and people will use dead cats and dogs, internal organs, potatoes, feces, mud and other things to express their disdain for death row prisoners."

"In the spit, the executioner erected the cross column and the noose, ending a sinful life."

This is a fact.

Every Londoner knows that every Monday morning at eight o'clock outside Newgate Prison or Horseman's Road Prison, the most heinous people are executed to quell public anger, while deterring mobs, unemployed Imperial soldiers and unruly workers. class.

"Sir, I'm not guilty..."

This eldest sister in the arrogant world murmured. She bore several lives and was vulgar and arrogant, but she was only ignoring the lives of others.

When she put on the torture tool and faced the most severe reprimand from the police officer, Katie persuaded her. She tried to beg for mercy, but found that her hands and head were firmly fixed, and she couldn't move at all.

"Not guilty?"

Officer Wensley's eyes flashed with anger, he slapped the confession on Katie's face, and looked directly into the other side's pitiful eyes, "In order to compete for territory, you deliberately created conflicts and fought with the warbler in another block. ."

"During the period, the little girl was used as a threat to get a single mother to give up her resistance and stoned her to death."

"This is not intentional murder, what is it?"

At this moment, Officer Wensley looks more like an angry Red Bull than a nice guy.

Although Lu Li had negotiated with him in advance and asked him to be responsible for the black face, this was indeed a bit too much. It wasn't that those words were wrong. Katie should be sentenced to death, but not now.

Why should a person who knew he was going to die cooperate with the investigation? Therefore, she had to be coaxed first, so that she would have the illusion that she could make meritorious deeds in order to obtain a commutation of the sentence.

"With so many witnesses, do you think you are wronged?"

Lu Li didn't speak to comfort him immediately, but analyzed the situation for Katie, who had nothing to do with it. "As for the physical evidence, as long as the police station makes an effort to investigate, they will definitely find something."

At this time, Wensley also adjusted his emotions, and he stated the facts in a cold voice:

"Does James know about the dismemberment case? Did he think that if he hid the corpse in various urban areas, he would not be found? If he explained what happened at night, he might be able to get a chance to reduce his sentence."

Obviously, Officer Wensley was stealing the show. He played both the black face and the red face.

However, it is enough to achieve the desired effect.

In the following period of time, Katie, the eldest sister, was extraordinarily well-behaved, explaining everything that happened at night, including the role of the concubine in it.

This guy is in charge of the aftermath.

After Katie kills, he negotiates with the gangsters in the next block; after discovering Newberry's body, he disposes of all traces.

"You are the first person to come to the morgue after the murderer. Describe the situation at the scene in detail."

"There are cuts all over the body. Poor Newberry must have been abused during her lifetime. Her liver, spleen, and part of her intestines were placed between her legs, and so were other parts."

"In a strange order, right?"

Lu Li reminded.

"That's right, the people in the next block are too bad, I just accidentally killed a prostitute, and they retaliate like this..." Katie couldn't help raising her voice.

them?

Lu Li shook his head. The death form completely corresponds to the forty or so examples above. This case is not the kind of revenge crime that Katie thought.

"Where is the dumping ground? Don't tell me it was done by a concubine, you don't know at all."

"At a pier on East Street, hidden in a boat, Silves intends to find a suitable river section and throw the body into it."

"Silvis?"

"My man."

At this point, the interrogation work has come to an end.

Maybe there are a lot of old things worth digging up, and maybe there are other sins involved in this group of warblers, but these are not things that need to be investigated right now.

"Come on, take us to that pier."

Lu Li got up~www.readwn.com~ and stacked the testimonies he had written down beside him. The progress was very smooth, but he didn't know what happened to Duke and Sherlock Holmes.

In fact, the work he did just now wasn't very technical. If he changed to an experienced grass-roots police officer, he could also get things done, but someone had to keep an eye on him.

At the same time, two police officers removed Katie from the pillory and helped her down the shelf.

"Don't stop the interrogation, and don't let anyone go. That man named Silves lives on the second floor of the 'Queen's Head' tavern. Bring a few guys to search."

Wensley explained something.

Then, follow Lu Li to the pier.

The time is early morning.

Two four-wheeled carriages with the logo of the police station stopped, and the area around the pier was extremely silent.

The three police officers wearing cockscomb helmets took the lead to hold umbrellas. Considering that Katie still has value, she was also taken care of so that she would not stand frozen in the heavy rain.

"Which one?"

Lu Li's eyes swept across the river, and there were nearly a hundred boats parked on it, including small boats, medium-sized wooden boats, and various steamboats.

Katie looked around in a panic. She wanted to make merit and reduce her sentence, and then exhausted her savings to hire a good lawyer to defend herself for manslaughter, so that she would not have to die.

"Go ahead and look carefully." Wensley said with a sullen face.

Lu Li sniffed and found a cruel fact, there was no blood in the air, I am afraid that the man named Silves had left and went to other river sections to throw his body.

"Sir... there is a situation over there."

Suddenly, a police officer in charge of holding an umbrella spoke up.
