In the dark alley filled with water vapor, two people separated from the unknown female corpse one by one.

    "The cause of death has been determined. Come here quickly."

    Just as Lu Li folded up pieces of paper and meditated silently, Duke suddenly urged him to come over, with excitement in his voice, as if he had made some important discovery.

    "What''s going on?"

    "Unlike the last victim, she didn''t die of cutting her throat. Look here!"

    Posted so close, even wearing a mask, Lu Li still felt the stench unbearable.

    However, when he saw where Duke pointed, his expression suddenly became focused.

    "The wound on the neck is very deep, almost around the neck, but the edge is not neat. What do you think is the trace left by something?"

    Hearing the speech, Lu Li couldn''t care about his nausea. He reached out and pressed it. The wet touch came from his fingertips and approached to observe - there were some dandruff on his gloves.

    "The rope, or the iron chain, maybe she was controlled before she died. She was moved here after she died."

    He felt a little uncertain. After all, detectives are not surgeons and can''t be omniscient.

    So, after saying the guess, Lu Li raised his eyes and looked at the ground, hoping to find some clues to support his statement.

    Duke never stopped checking the body.

    At the same time, he said to Lu Li in a very firm tone: "not only, except for the Le marks on his neck, all the other wounds were abandoned. After that, the murderer deliberately left them. This guy is definitely an extreme performance personality disorder."

    With that, he pinched the closed eyelids of the female corpse again, and a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared.

    "The typical characteristics of mechanical death are hyperemia in both eyes, incontinence of urine and urine, and dark red blood."

    When Duke finished, Lu Li also noticed the water stains on the corners of the deceased''s skirt. At first, he thought it was fog condensation or rain.

    It seems that, as mentioned in the letter, he kills people because he likes to kill people. He kills the victims cleanly first, and then maliciously destroys the bodies in order to attract people''s attention.

    At this point, Lu Li shuddered. If he didn''t stop the murderer, I''m afraid two innocent lives would die tomorrow night.

    "Pass me a pair of tweezers."

    Duke is busy checking. He can''t do anything else. He can only ask Lu Li as an assistant.

    "Well, Jack the Ripper announced that he would kill two more people tomorrow night. The message was written on a piece of paper. I found it just now."

    After handing over the tweezers, Lu Li said again.

    At present, the investigation has officially entered the track. After all, forensic on-site identification is absolutely an indispensable link in the detection of criminal cases.

    That''s why he doesn''t have to hide.

    "Well, if there is no accident, we can find out important clues the day after tomorrow."

    the day after tomorrow?

    Lu Li frowned. He understood Duke''s implication. There were not enough clues. He needed to wait for the guy to kill two more people before he could extract more key information.

    "You see, visceral congestion is obvious, indicating that the asphyxia lasted more than five minutes."

    At this time, Duke lifted the peritoneum with tweezers and showed it to Lu Li——

    Under the light, the frightening scene inside made the scalp numb and Lu Li almost wanted to vomit.

    "You did it on purpose."

    "Don''t be so dark. It''s a long night. Isn''t it refreshing to see these?"

    Duke said nothing, then continued to examine the body, while Lu Li watched and chatted with him.

    "How do you know if the wound of the deceased was suffered before his death or was maliciously cut after his death?"

    "Generally speaking, the skin and fat injured before death will be stained with blood, the wound will be red, and the skin and fat injured after death will be yellow."

    The land quietly wrote down these things, and then quipped, "well, you keep on working, tonight is the home court of forensic medicine, and my detective is a bit redundant."

    "Really, why don''t you invite me to have a meal afterwards? I haven''t eaten two corpses in a row. I''m so hungry." Duke stopped and took a serious look at Lu Li.

    "As long as you have an appetite..."

    "Gentlemen, the inspector sent someone to say that he has mastered important clues that can lock the murderer. Why don''t we go back first and transport the body away later."

    Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance of the alley and followed the prestige. I saw Winsley coming here quickly.

    How is that possible?

    Is Scotland Yard so efficient?

    Duke blankly put down his tools and felt incredible. It is reasonable to say that this case is still pending until more than 100 years later.

    Is there an accident in the trend of the case in this specious era?!

    "Don''t think about it. You continue to dissect. I''ll go and ask."

    Lu Li stood up and walked towards Winsley. He knew Scotland Yard very well. It was just a group of hounds with a bad nose.

    A few minutes later, a carriage drove out of the alley.

    There were only three people left near the morgue. In addition to Lu Li, there was a police officer in charge of security.

    At this moment, the atmosphere is a little dignified.

    "Why did officer Winsley leave?"

    Seeing Lu Li''s gloomy face standing aside, Duke had a bad hunch——

    While examining the body, he seemed to hear a quarrel, and then things turned out like this.

    Once they lose the support of the police, even if they find any clues, it is difficult to make a difference.

    You know, London in the 19th century was a huge city with a population of one million. If they lost their official power, whether they were looking for people or catching people, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

    "It is said that three witnesses saw the murderer, and the tramp who sent the provocation letter was also caught. The senior figures of the police station think they can change this line to track down."

    "In other words, we can only act alone next..."

    At the moment, Lu Li didn''t want to say more. He was just a special adviser and had no right to order Scotland Yard, and Winsley didn''t deliberately embarrass himself. The inspector felt that relying on detectives for everything would make the law enforcement department lose their share in front of the public——

    Unscrupulous writers claimed in the newspaper that taxpayers raised a group of waste and provoked the relationship between private detectives and Scotland Yard.

    "So, what should I do next?"

    Duke immediately panicked. He is now a medical professor. In addition to being good at examining corpses and having a higher social status, he has no other role and no interpersonal relationship to use.

    "Don''t worry about this. After recognizing the reality, some people will be unable to sit still."

    With that, Lu Li flashed a trace of guilt. He wanted to cooperate with the police to arrest Jack the Ripper before he committed the crime again.

    But so far, we can only use the public opinion pressure of the two people who will be killed tomorrow night to force some high-level people to bow their heads.

    "Three days left, enough..."
