v2 Chapter 264： Father Jacob

The Sacred Heart Church opened on time at eight o'clock, and Father Jacob prepared two baskets of white bread for distribution to nearby homeless people.

Zhang Heng and Holmes took the opportunity to quietly observe Father Jacob.

"Your previous inference was wrong." Zhang Hengdao.

"It's impossible, even if there is a slight deviation in the details, it can't be so outrageous." Holmes flatly said, but he also seemed a little helpless.

What they said was an inference previously made by Holmes from the handwriting on the letter.

"Left-handed, male, between the ages of thirty and forty, is not strong enough and unstable, and traditionally conservative in thought."

Now it seems that apart from the male's inference, the left-handed and age inferences are not correct. As for the character, it is not strong enough and unstable, and at the same time, traditional conservative thinking has not been seen yet.

In addition, Zhang Heng also saw that Father Jacob's left shoulder seemed to be injured, but it should be an old illness. He has been holding the bread basket with his right hand, presumably because his left hand was unable to exert force, and his hair was combed. Be meticulous. Although the clothes on my body have a certain age, they are clean.

He was like a standard clergyman, looking a little old-fashioned and majestic, but also full of love.

Holmes and Zhang Heng glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubt in the other's eyes. The investigation was carried out here, and the suspicion of Father Jacob was undoubtedly the biggest. However, when he saw the real person, Zhang Heng found Jacob The possibility of the priest's committing a crime may seem small.

Apart from that, according to Holmes and his live simulation, the murderer should hold the victim's neck with one hand and cut the throat with a knife with the other, and Father Jacob's shoulder injury made Zhang Heng very Doubt whether he can do this.

So Zhang Heng grabbed a homeless man who was next to the bread and said, "Friend, ask you something."

"What is it?" The wanderer was a little wary and hid the bread in his clothes.

Zhang Heng pulled out a shilling, "Is there anyone else in this church besides Father Matthew and Father Jacob?"

The wanderer grabbed the shilling and shook his head. "There was a young deacon before, but I couldn't stand the life of the Eastern District and left, and now Father Jacob is alone."

"Does he have any family?"

"No, the priest has been alone. He was in this church more than thirty years ago. He didn't have a wife and no daughter, uh ... but I heard that he has a cousin, but he is not in London." Wanderer While talking, his eyes were always inseparable from Zhang Heng's pocket.

Zhang Heng knows what the other party is thinking. It ’s the Eastern District. Do n’t look at the day. Zhang Heng just gave this guy a shilling, but that shilling obviously couldn't satisfy him, so Zhang Heng pulled it a little. Coat with a revolver on his waist.

The wanderer immediately became honest. He realized that the guy in front of him was not a provocative master, and he could only put away his careless thoughts and mumbled away.

Sherlock Holmes, on the other hand, had already gone to Father Jacob.

"I sinned, Father."

"In life, everyone makes mistakes, my child." Father Jacob said, "The important thing is whether you are willing to repent."

"I want to confess my sins, the lies I've told me, the wrong things I've done ... These things torture me every day and make me feel guilty," Holmes said.

"Very well, it means your heart is still bright." Father Jacob nodded. "Come with me, boy."

Zhang Heng then saw Holmes walk into the confession room with Father Jacob.

About a quarter of an hour later Holmes walked out again, shaking his head without waiting for Zhang Heng to say, "You don't have to go, it's not him."

"Huh?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"He had proof of absence when the first and third homicides occurred." Holmes said, "especially the night of the first day, he was not in the Eastern District. In addition, his left shoulder injury was also true, with only one hand. It is impossible to complete a crime. "

"What about conspiracy?" Zhang Heng asked.

"This possibility cannot be completely ruled out, but I had asked him a few hinted questions during the conversation, and from his answers it was not clear what extreme hatred he had of those witches, and from the crime scene, I There are no signs of conspiracy. "

Zhang Heng is not too surprised with this answer. He originally asked a question. Serial killers are generally not conspired, because no matter what reason they set foot on this road, they obviously want to be in their own. The world plays the role of God, but God is always one.

Sherlock Holmes was not discouraged. It was not disappointing to see his appearance this time, and he said ~ www.novelhall.com ~ This proves that my previous description of the killer is no problem. Next, I just need to find more Clue, there is no problem in your general direction, as long as you can find the intersection between the three victims, the killer is among them. "

"I hope we have enough time." Zhang Hengdao.

…………

Although the path of the church did not go through, it did bring a lot of inspiration to Zhang Heng, and he soon turned his attention to the small clinic in the Eastern District.

In addition to the priest, there is a group of people who can easily contact these witches without causing any doubt, that is, doctors.

At this point in time, the famous fourth homicide has not yet occurred. In the case, the murderer dissected the victim's abdomen and removed part of the uterus and kidneys. All this was done in the dark. Because the patrolling police were very close this time, the killer only took less than nine minutes, and the technique was clean. Therefore, many people at the time suspected that the killer was a professional surgeon.

It is just that Laomi is from Sweden after all, and he is not very acquainted with other wizards. He has limited knowledge of the three victims, and naturally does not know which clinic they will usually go to. For information on this, Zhang Heng can only find other People understand.

Sherlock Holmes had already taken a step, and Zhang Heng looked at the Sacred Heart Church for the last time, only to find that Father Jacob's gaze was also cast in from the church. The two looked at each other, and then Father Jacob rushed at him. Nodded politely, picked up the mop aside, and continued to mop.

As Holmes said, there is a very quiet and calm power in his entire body. Zhang Heng does not think that such people will be related to the serial killers in the Whitechapel area.

He did not forget his gambling contract with Holmes, nor did he stop here any more, walking towards the tavern with more witches.
