After the loss of eyeballs, the body''s face will deform, and the loss of teeth exacerbates this phenomenon. Therefore, requiring nearby residents to come to identify the bodies is a time-consuming but effective method, which will never work.

    However, it does not prevent Lu Li from making the most basic reasoning.

    Judging from the body shape of the deceased, she was an adult woman with a slightly plump body.

    His clothes were stained with blood, his abdomen was eroded and blackened, and he couldn''t bear to die.

    "The letter said that the deceased''s money was not lost, so where is the money bag?"

    Lu Li''s voice trembled, but none of the people present dared to laugh. After all, their performance was not much better.

    "There are too many tramps nearby. In order to prevent accidents, I put them away first."

    For fear of being misunderstood, an old police officer with a beard quickly added: "all colleagues present can testify. If there is a penny missing in the purse, I am willing to accept any punishment."

    When he finished, Lu Li put away his magnifying glass and asked bluntly, "how much is it?"

    "Nine pounds and fifteen pence."

    The answer is different from expected.

    The bottom of the deceased''s leather boots was seriously worn, which showed that her economic situation was not ideal. How could she carry a huge sum of money with her?

    You know, four pounds of freshly baked bread costs only six shillings, and a pound equals twenty shillings, or 240 pence.

    Judging from his inherited memory, Lu Li estimated that a single woman could live well in London as long as she had an income of ￡ 60 a year.

    Because of this, it is illogical for a woman in ordinary clothes to have property in her purse that does not match her identity and status.

    Remember here.

    Lu Li slowly bent down and continued to examine the unknown female corpse in front of him——

    The victim lay on his back, his face blurred and his appearance blurred.

    The neck was almost cut off, which should be a fatal injury. In addition, he was cut by laparotomy. There was a long and deep inverted V-shaped wound on the abdomen, and the internal organs showed black and red.

    "Silk bonnet?"

    Soon, Lu Li noticed an inconspicuous detail. The deceased wore a coal bucket shaped soft hat dotted with several fake flowers, which looked very exquisite.

    Generally speaking, such small objects are very popular with ladies. They can be seen almost everywhere in Baker Street.

    However, he is now in the white church area, a slum crowded with tramps.

    With a little silence, Lu Li had a speculation that could stand scrutiny in his heart.

    Wensley, who had been paying attention to Lu Li, saw his eyebrows stretch and immediately asked, "detective, do you have any new discoveries?"

    "The dead is a wandering warbler!"

    "For professional needs, she will try her best to make herself beautiful every day, such as wearing a silk bonnet and a lace skirt."

    Hearing this, the police officers nodded one after another. They have maintained law and order in the white church area for a long time. More or less, they have heard of some unseemly things.

    "But you can''t make so much money by soliciting customers? If I remember correctly..."

    In the middle of the conversation, Winsley suddenly stopped and coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.

    Facing the rhetorical question, Lu Li stressed: "the dead died in the early morning!"

    "Think carefully about what kind of people would walk in the alley at that time."

    "Night shift women..."

    Winsley instinctively wanted to refute, but he thought it was unlikely to be a female worker. After all, who would wear a fancy hat to work at night in the factory?

    As for several other police officers, they have been acting as a background board. As long as the detective doesn''t ask, they will always remain silent.

    Looking left and right, Lu Li decided to continue to deduce:

    "At midnight, in the narrow and dark alley, the victims are looking for guests.

    At this time, a man with a walking stick appeared. The guy was very rich. Maybe there was a carriage symbolizing financial resources behind him.

    Soon, the two talked about everything. The victim thought he was lucky. After all, it was not common for rich men in the white church area.

    However, what happened next made her regret. The man raised his left hand, which had been hidden behind him, and the sharp blade flashed past.

    In a flash, she lost consciousness and didn''t struggle or fight halfway, because everything was too short to respond. "

    The words fell, and the people were silent.

    Based on facts, analyze, guess and even deduce more clues according to many small clues until all clues can form a complete logic.

    This is the basic deduction!

    As long as the big and small premises are guaranteed to be correct and the logic can be self consistent, the conclusion will be infinitely close to the truth and even consistent with the truth.

    At this time, Lu Li made a new move. He walked quickly to the old policeman, and his voice rose involuntarily: "can you give me the victim''s money bag?"

    Seeing this, the people were slightly agitated. They wanted to know what kind of tricks the famous detective would perform——

    In just half an hour, I sorted out the problems that all the elites in Scotland Yard could not solve. It''s not a trick. What can it be?

    At the thought of this, the old policeman was so excited that he grabbed a money bag from his pocket and sent it to Lu Li.

    As expected, it''s light.

    "Sure enough, the murderer was generous, not a fat man."

    Lu Li sighed in his heart. Then he opened the knot and shook out a handful of coins, nine of which were shining with dark gold.

    "Nine pounds and fifteen pence, I guess, only fifteen pence really belong to the victim, and the other nine pounds are the bait dropped by the murderer to make her relax her vigilance."

    The old policeman looked blankly. Where did this come from? He looked around. His colleagues were like this. He couldn''t think of a reason.

    At this time, Lu Li put the deceased''s belongings back into the money bag and asked in a deep voice, "officer wensley, if you want to buy a valuable item, how will you pay?"

    "Ah?"

    Wensley was stunned at the speech and subconsciously wanted to ask the reason.

    As a result, as soon as he looked up, he met Lu Li''s eyes full of exploration.

    It seemed that the detective was not joking. At the thought of this, Winsley bowed his head and seriously thought about how to answer.

    Dozens of seconds later.

    "If I want to buy a brand new bike, I''ll probably save two months and save shillings... I see!"

    Before he finished, the guy immediately figured out the key hole and took the initiative to explain for Lu Li: "gentlemen, the murderer used saffron to pay for whoring! Presumably, he must not be short of money."

    Since we can join Scotland Yard and maintain law and order in London, it means that none of the people present is mediocre.

    After Winsley gave the hint, they all figured it out: in London, most people use copper and silver coins to pay their bills, such as Florin (two shillings) and Krone (five shillings); Shafflin is made of gold. It is small and easy to carry. It is equivalent to a pound. It is most suitable for aristocrats and rich businessmen who don''t care about money.

    An unsolved case that can''t identify the dead... Is there progress?

    At this moment, the old policeman had an unreal feeling in his heart. He didn''t expect to find a breakthrough in such a simple way.

    Lu Li shook his head and lamented the handling ability of Scotland Yard: they only focused on the body itself, but ignored the nuances.
