A Weird Theater That Started In London Chapter 5

　　 After losing the eyeballs, the face of the corpse will be deformed, and the loss of teeth will exacerbate this phenomenon. Therefore, requiring nearby residents to come and identify the corpse is a time-consuming but effective method that absolutely does not work.

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

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

　　 The clothes all over his body were stained with blood, and his abdomen was eroded and turned black, and he couldn't bear to stare.

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

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

　　 "There are too many homeless people nearby. 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 one missing piece in the pocket, I am willing to accept any punishment."

　　 After he finished speaking, Lu Li put away the magnifying glass and asked bluntly: "How much money is there?"

　　 "Nine pounds and fifteen pence."

　　 This answer is not the same as expected.

　　 The bottom of the deceased's leather boots was severely worn, which shows that her financial situation was not ideal during her lifetime. How could she carry a large sum of money with her?

　　 You know, four pounds of freshly baked bread is only sold for six shillings, and one pound is equal to twenty shillings, or two hundred and forty pence.

　　 Judging from the memory he inherited, Lu Li estimated that a single lady could live well in London with an income of 60 pounds a year.

　　Because of this, it is very illogical that a lady who is dressed in ordinary clothes contains belongings that do not match her identity and status.

　　 read it here.

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

　　 The victim lay on his back, his face was **** and he couldn't see his appearance.

　　'S neck was almost severed. There should be a fatal wound here. Moreover, he was cut through a laparotomy. There was a long and deep inverted V-shaped wound on the abdomen, and the internal organs appeared black and red.

　　 "Silk cap?"

　　 Soon, Lu Li noticed an inconspicuous detail. The deceased was wearing a coal bucket-shaped soft hat with a few fake flowers dotted on it, which looked very delicate.

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

　　 But, he is now in the Whitechapel district, a slum filled with homeless people.

　　 was silent for a while, Lu Qiqi had a guess that could stand scrutiny.

　　 Wensley, who has been paying attention to Lu Li, saw his brows stretched, and immediately asked: "Mr. Detective, do you have any new discoveries?"

　　 "The deceased was a warbler!"

　　 "Due to professional needs, she tries to make herself as beautiful as possible every day, such as wearing a silk cap and lace inner skirt."

　　 Upon hearing this, the police officers nodded one after another. They have maintained law and order in the Whitechapel District for a long time.

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

When 　　 was halfway through, Winsley stopped his voice instantly, coughing lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

　　 Facing a rhetorical question, Lu Li emphasized: "The deceased was already dead in the early hours of the morning!"

　　 "Think about it carefully, at that time, what kind of talent would walk in the alleys."

　　 "Night shift female workers..."

　　 Winsley wanted to refute instinctively, but felt that it was unlikely to be a female worker. After all, who would wear a fancy hat to the factory for night work?

　　 As for the other police officers, they have been acting as background boards. As long as Mr. Detective does not ask questions, they will always remain silent.

　　 looked left and right, seeing no one to cooperate with him, Lu Li decided to continue the deduction:

　　 "At midnight, in a narrow and dark alley, the victim was looking for guests.

　　 At this time, a man with a cane appeared. This guy was very rich. Perhaps there was a carriage that symbolized financial resources parked behind him.

　　 Soon, the two talked about everything. The victim thought that he was lucky. After all, it is not common for a man to make a lot of money in the Whitechapel District.

　　 However, what happened next made her regret. The man raised his left hand, which had been hidden behind his back. The sharp blade flashed with cold light and passed by.

　　 In an instant, she lost consciousness, did not struggle or fight in the middle, because everything was too short to react. "

　　 The words fell, and everyone was silent in place.

　　 Based on facts, based on many tiny clues, analyze, guess, and even infer more clues, until all clues can form a complete logic.

　　 This is the basic deduction method!

　　 As long as it is ensured that the major and minor premises do not go wrong, and the logic is self-consistent, the conclusion will be infinitely close to the truth, and even consistent with the truth.

　　 At this time, Lu Li took another new move. He walked quickly to the old police officer, his voice rose unconsciously, "Can you give me the victim's money bag?"

　　 Upon seeing this, everyone felt a little restless. They wanted to know what kind of trick this famous detective would perform—

　　 In just half an hour, it sorted out the problems that all the elites of Scotland Yard could not solve. It was not a trick, but what could it be?

　　 When he thought of this, the old police officer was so excited that he couldn't hold on himself. He grabbed a purse from his pocket and sent it to Lu Li's hands.

　　 As expected, the starting point is very light.

　　 "Sure enough, the murderer made a lavish move, not a fat man with a swollen face."

　　 Lu Li sighed in his heart, then pulled the knot away and shook out a small handful of coins, nine of which were shining with dark golden light.

　　 "Nine pounds and fifteen pence, I guess, only fifteen pence belonged to the victim, and the other nine pounds were bait cast by the murderer to make her relax. UU reading www.uukahnshu.com"

　　 The old police officer looked blank. Where did he draw the conclusion? He looked around, his colleagues were like this, and he couldn't think of the reason.

　　 At this time, Lu Li put the deceased's belongings back in his pocket, and asked in a deep voice, "Officer Winsley, if you want to buy a valuable item, how would you pay for it?"

"what?"

　　 Wensley was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously wanted to ask the reason.

　　 As soon as he raised his head, he met Lu Li's probing gaze.

　　 It seemed that Mr. Detective was not joking. Thinking of this, Wensley lowered his head and seriously thought about how to answer.

　　 After dozens of seconds.

　　 "If I want to buy a brand new bicycle, I will probably save two months and save the shilling...that's it!"

　　 Before he finished speaking, this guy instantly figured out the key points and took the initiative to explain to Lu Li: "Everyone, the murderer uses savolin to pay for the prostitutes! Presumably, he must not be short of money."

　　 Since I can join Scotland Yard to maintain public order in London, it means that none of the people present are mediocre.

After Winsley gave the tips, they all wanted to understand: In London, most people use copper and silver coins to check out, for example, Florin (two shillings), Krona (five shillings); and Sha Flynn, made of gold, is small and easy to carry, equivalent to one pound, and is most suitable for nobles and wealthy businessmen who don't care about money.

　　 Unable to determine the identity of the deceased... Has progress?

　　 At this moment, the old police officer had a sense of unreality in his heart. He didn't expect that he would find a breakthrough in such a simple way.

　　 And Lu Li shook his head, embarrassed by Scotland Yard's ability to handle cases: They only paid attention to the corpse itself, but ignored the subtleties.
