Chapter 483 Master Huiyuan is also uncertain
"An easier way to pass the level?"
Everyone was refreshed.
Only Conan, the child, paused and turned around reluctantly:
"Hey, hey. Is there an easier way than asking Holmes for help?"
"That's Sherlock Holmes!"
"With the help of this legendary figure in the history of detectives, wouldn't it be easier than finding Jack the Ripper ourselves?"
Conan was very excited.
He looks like a passionate fighter fighting for the truth.
But Miss Haiyuan didn't even raise her eyelids and said to the point:
"Detective, now is not the time for you to chase stars."
"I" Conan's face turned red: "I am definitely chasing stars."
"But no matter how you think about it, there is no simpler way than asking Holmes for help, right?"
"some."
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Haiyuan Ai's mouth:
"There may be someone better than Sherlock Holmes in dealing with Jack the Ripper."
"Who?" Conan was unconvinced.
"Me." Haiyuan pointed at himself.
"And us."
“Those of us time-travelers who can predict the future.”
"Prophecy?"
Lin Xinyi on the side realized something.
He is an old time traveler.
First it ran from 2020 to 1996, and now it has reached 1888.
As a "worst time traveler" who has been thinking about how to return to China and make a fortune by trading stocks and real estate and become a Brahmin, but has no choice but to be trapped in Tokyo and work as a wage earner, he knows very well how to take advantage of time travellers.
"Xiao Ai, do you know?"
"When and where will Jack the Ripper commit his next crime?"
Lin Xinyi asked tentatively.
As expected, Hui Yuan Ai nodded.
But she did not give a direct answer. She just pointed to the female body at the crime scene and explained pointedly:
"Look at this body—"
"Do you think her death was a little too peaceful?"
"Huh? Peaceful?"
Everyone looked at the corpse:
There were no other external injuries visible on the body.
But there was a deep gash on her neck.
The head was almost cut off entirely from the neck.
Blood spurted out for several meters.
Not to mention the road, even the walls on the roadside were stained with a blinding scarlet blood curtain.
Conan, Mao Lilan and Lin Xinyi, the three adults who had seen strong winds and waves, all felt that the victim died too tragically.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and other real elementary school students were even more frightened and trembling.
Can this also be called "dying peacefully"?
"Of course he died 'peacefully'——"
"I mean, compared to Jack the Ripper's other victims."
Haiyuan Ai gave an explanation in a leisurely manner, and then asked in that indifferent tone that was never annoying:
"You don't know where the title 'Jack the Ripper' came from, right?"
"This" Lin Xinyi quietly realized something:
He studied criminal psychology, and the course included psychological analysis of some real serial killers in history.
So he also had a vague understanding of the Jack the Ripper case.
Although I can’t remember the details, I can still recall the general facts of the case:
Jack the Ripper was called "The Ripper" because of his extremely cruel methods of committing crimes.
As if killing someone every time was not enough, they had to cut open the stomach of the deceased with a knife and dig out some "souvenirs" to take back.
For example, kidneys, intestines, bladder, etc.
There are also some female police officers who will be blocked if they type.
In one of the craziest crimes, Jack the Ripper even cut open the entire abdomen of the deceased and dug out almost all of her internal organs.
Thinking back to this, Lin Xinyi couldn't help but complain again:
What is going on in the minds of game developers? ?
Are primary school students allowed to try this kind of game? ?
And both Kudo and his son are so interested in this kind of story—couldn’t this be a dominantly inherited perversion, right?
"Then, Xiao Ai"
Lin Xin recalled his thoughts and looked at Haiyuan Ai:
"What does this have to do with today's case?"
Compared with other victims who were brutally murdered by Jack the Ripper, the death of today's victim was indeed a little more "peaceful" relatively speaking.
But this was because he was caught by witnesses while committing the crime.
The witness said "murder", which not only alarmed the nearby residents, but also attracted two masters, Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan.
As a result, Jack the Ripper was naturally unable to continue committing crimes and complete his iconic "disemboweling" process.
The death state of this corpse will naturally be different from other victims.
“That’s where the relationship lies.”
Haiyuan Ai explained in a calm tone:
"Jack the Ripper cut open the abdomen of his victims every time he committed a crime."
"But there was one exception:"
"September 30, 1888, one o'clock in the morning."
"In the Whitechapel area, a coachman discovered the body of 'Elizabeth Stead' near her home."
As a genius scientific girl, Haibara Ai has the ability to remember things since she was a child.
Even if she wasn't as interested in the story of Jack the Ripper as Conan was.
She can still clearly remember every detail of the case in the story she read at random:
"Unlike the previous two cases, this 44-year-old Swedish prostitute had her throat cut but was not caesarean. She died of excessive blood loss from the left carotid artery."
"The most important reason why Elizabeth's death has a different meaning is that there are witnesses to this case."
"Jack the Ripper was caught while committing the crime, so he had no time to disembowel the deceased and was forced to flee from the scene of the crime."
Haihara Ai spoke in detail about the details of this real case in history.
The details of this case are almost exactly the same as the "opening CG" that Lin Xinyi and others just experienced.
Even the appearance and cause of death of the deceased were exactly the same.
what does that mean?
"This means that Jack the Ripper in this game world restores real history to a certain extent."
"And if the crime process completely follows true history:"
"Then we can be sure that the deceased we met today is the 44-year-old Swedish prostitute, Elizabeth Stead, who was killed by Jack the Ripper during his third crime."
Haibara Ai remembers all the details of Jack the Ripper's crimes in real history.
Now it is confirmed that this is his third crime.
So
"Then we just need to set up an ambush in advance according to the time and place when Jack the Ripper committed his fourth crime in real history."
"He will show himself!"
Lin Xinyi completely understood what his girlfriend meant:
This is similar to Master Lin's method of "predicting" and saving people.
Moreover, the details are richer and the operation is simpler.
No wonder Haihara Ai said this is the easier route
No matter how powerful Holmes is, can he be more powerful than "Master Haiyuan" who can predict the future?
Thinking of this, Lin Xinyi immediately asked Haiyuan Ai impatiently:
"Then when will Jack the Ripper commit his next crime?"
"In about half an hour."
Haihara Ai gave a surprising answer:
"September 30, 1888, 1:45 in the morning."
"The body of 46-year-old prostitute Kathleen Eddowes was found in Bishop's Square."
"Since the patrolling police officer claimed that there was nothing unusual here at 1:30, it was determined that the deceased was killed between 1:30 and 1:45, and his abdomen was cut open."
"Because two women were murdered in succession on September 30, it was called 'Double Corpse Night' by the London media at the time——"
"It is precisely because of the huge panic that this 'Night of Two Corpses' brought to London citizens that Jack the Ripper's notoriety further spread across the country, and even became famous for future generations, becoming the material of the game that now traps us."
Haiyuan Ai leisurely told the details of the case that he knew.
This made everyone excited:
The next time Jack the Ripper commits a crime, only such a short time passes?
Then this game can be cleared immediately?
"No, one more question:"
Conan still has some concerns:
"This is a game world after all."
"Will the details of the case that happened in real history be 100% restored here?"
"You'll know after you try it."
Huiyuan Aifeng replied calmly:
"Anyway, it will only be a waste of half an hour at most."
"If you can't catch Jack the Ripper, it won't be too late to go find your Mr. Holmes."
As soon as he said this, Conan had no objection.
"and--"
"There is another way to indirectly verify my guess."
"That's confirmation of the time we're in now."
"If the time of the crime is the same as the time when Jack the Ripper committed the crime in real history, it can roughly prove the correlation between the game and history."
Saying that, Hui Yuan Ai took the initiative to walk aside and stopped an NPC who was watching the murder scene.
"Auntie, what's the date today?"
No one can ignore the cute little Miss Haiyuan.
The same goes for NPCs:
"No. 29. Oh, no, it's already one o'clock in the morning."
"Little miss, it's September 30th."
