A Weird Theater That Started In London

　　 "Sieger is a painter, born in Munich, his mother is an Englishman, not only has several properties in France, but also has a residence in the East End of London, so this guy often travels between the two countries."

　　 Hearing this, Lu Li's mind suddenly flashed. He thought of the provocation book sent to the police station last night.

　　 There is an inconspicuous erythema on the letter, and I didn't care much at the time. I preconceived that it was because the murderer deliberately dripped blood stains from the victim in order to satisfy his own morbid psychology.

　　 Now that I think about it, the color is not right.

　　 Maybe the paint used by the painter when drawing?

　　 "In the afternoon, our informant bought Sieg’s neighbors. The old woman claimed that he was in disorder, often having fun with some warblers until late at night, and painting some vulgar works."

　　 "Therefore, the informant bought a few pictures from Sieg's personal gallery."

　　 As he said, Linnaeus stopped reading, opened the briefcase under his arm, took out a few sketches from it, and handed them to Lu Li and George.

　　 Is this a tribute to the masters of the Renaissance?

　　 "Venus of Urbino"

　　 Lu Li frowned. He felt that Sieg’s painting seemed to imitate this world-famous painting, but the color was darker, the rain hit the glass windows, the moon was hidden behind the clouds, and a woman was lying on her back on the bed.

"shameless!"

　　 At this time, George sitting on the side slammed his fist. It seemed that he was affected by the paintings in his hand.

　　 "Mr. Detective, I feel that this guy is the most suspicious, so let's go to his residence first."

　　 said, he stuffed three paintings to Lu Li.

　　 The first picture, even the name!

　　 "Murder in an Unknown Town, 1"

The interior is dimly lit and the atmosphere is gloomy and silent. On the iron bed, lies a sleeping woman. She wears hair curlers on her head and turns her face to the wall. Her face is a little ruddy, and she seems to be drinking slightly. On the edge of the bed, there is a woman sitting. The well-dressed man clasped his fingers and bowed his head in thought.

　　 Murder?

　　 From a detective's point of view, Lu Li felt that this should depict the murderer was struggling psychologically before the incident, and the victim had fallen asleep without knowing it.

　　 As expected, when he turned his gaze to the second painting, he was stunned for an instant.

　　 "Murder in an Unknown Town, 2"

In another secret room, a neatly dressed young man in a deerstalker hat sits on the edge of the bed with his arms folded, looking at a blonde woman, while the woman's hands are bound and struggling, her expression is very hideous, as if her soul is shaking. , And spots of blood were soaked on the sheets.

　　 Obviously, this description is that the murderer is torturing the victim, with a posture like a superior judge.

　　 "Murder in an Unknown Town, Three"

The scene changed again, still on the iron bed. The woman was lying on her side by herself, her legs curled up, and her body seemed to have no wounds, but her face was painted a little vaguely and indistinctly, and the white sheets were also unknowingly changed to red. , The man also disappeared.

　　If this painting hadn't been dubbed the murder case, Lu Li would think it was normal, but the painting style was a little bit curious.

　　 However, based on the progress of the first two paintings, the last one is definitely a killer!

　　 But, in the painter's pen, this strange woman seems to sleep peacefully, everything seems to be a dream.

　　 Could it be that the murderer's spiritual world is implying? The man committed such a crime on impulse, and when he calmed down, he had no guilt and felt that he had done a good thing, and the woman was sleeping peacefully in the cradle of Heavenly Father.

　　Well, the last item is purely Lu Li's personal guess. Anyway, the mental model of pathological artists and mental patients cannot be brought in by normal people.

　　 "Mr. Lask, don't make decisions with preconceived thoughts. The whole night is enough for us to visit one by one."

　　 Lu Li put the four paintings back into his briefcase, then leaned against the soft cushion, and took a long breath, as if he had been stimulated.

　　 Frankly speaking, he thinks that the two known suspects are not good things. Even if it is not Jack the Ripper himself, they must be doing murder and arson secretly.

　　 "Mr. Linnaeus, please continue to talk about the last suspect."

　　 "Okay, several informants who participated in the interview work agreed that this man named Aaron Kosminsky is very suspicious."

Um?

　　 Lu Li straightened up. He hated others' preconceived look at problems, especially in the job of informants. You should definitely not bring in private goods. It is best to describe it objectively, so as not to interfere with the judgment of detectives and the police.

　　 However, Mr. Lask’s informants are very clever, and he can dig out any hot news, details and trivial matters, which makes him inevitably raise some expectations.

"Aaron Kosminski, born in Korodawa, Poland, under the rule of the Tsar, emigrated to London in 1881 due to the economic depression and fear of the Tsar’s butcher’s knife. Soon, it was the same fleeing. The other Jewish refugees who came and made their homes in the slums of the Whitechapel District."

　　 "It is reported that one of his older sisters and two older brothers also left Russia to live in the Whitechapel District. Since then, the widowed mother has also emigrated."

　　 "During this period, Aaron has been working as a hairdresser, claiming to be proficient in medicine, and often providing paid services to other refugees around him."

　　 The barber provides medical services?

　　 sounds magical, but it does exist. Although modern medicine has started, the concept of bacteria has been proposed, and even masks have emerged.

　　 However, in this era, there are still many faithful believers in the bloodletting therapy advocated by ancient Western medicine.

　　 What’s even more absurd is that today, barbers have developed a complete set of tools and operating systems. In addition to shaving, shaving, pulling teeth, and bleeding, they can also do the work of a surgeon.

　　 For example, amputation.

　　 Lu Li felt that this description was a bit inappropriate. It should be said that the barber is the originator of the surgeon.

　　 "Is there any evidence that he is extremely suspicious?"

　　George was a little impatient. Hearing it now, he felt that the emperor's grandson was more suspicious than this refugee, even if this guy had a suspicious origin, his family's reputation in Western countries was extremely poor, but there was no substantive evidence, everything was nonsense.

　　 "Well, the neighbors claimed that he was a normal person two days ago, ahem, albeit with some bad habits..."

　　 When Linnai said these things, Lu Li saw him behave a little bit convulsively, repeatedly hesitated and stopped, and couldn't help asking: "What is it?"

　　 "Uh, that's the kind of handwork that hurts the body, and picking up trash to eat."

That's it?

　　 Lu Li curled his lips, speechless, he thought it was an important clue.

　　 "It is worth noting that this guy has often been hiding in remote corners recently, talking to himself, saying something not to eat me, seeming delusional and afraid of being eaten by others."
