After Wang Xu heard this story, he only asked: "What happened next?"
Mr.
Cat said: "Lucy died later.
She finally died of depression a month after getting married.
Driber didn't show any sadness, because he only married this woman to get Ferrell's family property, but it was his.
A group of wives and concubines were deeply saddened by the girl's death and kept vigil at her funeral in accordance with religious teachings.
What happened next was dramatic.
One night after Lucy's death, Hope suddenly appeared in the funeral hall.
He took off Lucy's wedding ring and said she must not be buried wearing it, and then Then disappeared again.
For decades after that, Hope had only one goal in his life, and that was revenge."
Wang Xu said: "Oh, that's right.
I have an impression of the later story.
Twenty years later, Hou Bo chased him through countless countries on two continents, and finally dressed up as a coachman in London and killed Druid.
After killing him, he used Germany.
The word rache was left on the wall, which means revenge.
Then Detective Sherlock Holmes appeared.
But what you said has anything to do with the Jack the Ripper case."
Mr.
Cat said: "What if I told you that some of the contents in this novel are true?"
"What?"
Wang Xu said in shock: "You said Sherlock Holmes is real?"
Mr.
Cat raised his eyes and said, "Hey, I really overestimated you."
"Bah, let it go quickly" Mr.
Cat said: "You have to pay attention.
In The Study of Scarlet, Hou Bo's method of killing was that he took the drunken Uncle Zi to an empty room with no one.
It was not until he entered the room that Uncle Zi recognized him. .
Then Hope took out two identical pills, one highly poisonous and one similar to vitamins.
He asked Driber to pick one first and then take the other.
Because Hope believes that the sky has eyes, and villains like Dribbe will definitely pick out the poisonous ones, and this is indeed the case.
Before Drip's death, he encountered the greatest fear, and his soul was undoubtedly full of resentment."
Wang Xu interrupted: "So Zhui Bo became an wronged soul."
Mr.
Cat said: "Don't interrupt, listen to me.
What you should pay attention to is that this killing method is actually a bit too idealistic.
There are many uncontrollable factors in it, so this paragraph is undoubtedly a novel.
I think there are at least seven Cheng may be fictional because the author wanted to make Zibo's death more tragic and give him the retribution he deserved.
Including the later mention in the novel that Hope said that on my way to kill someone, I saw the father and daughter walking in front of me.
They were on both sides of the horse, always leading me in front.
This somewhat insane statement, as well as the fact that Hope was not tried by the law in the end, but died in the detention center due to a ruptured heart aneurysm, are very idealistic.
But there are some things in this novel that are not fake, namely the story I told you before.
This story that happened in Utah is at least 90% likely to be true.
When I was reading it, I wondered why Mr.
Conan Doyle would spend so much time describing such an uncomfortable history. , although there are many adaptations with a strong literary flavor in this story, such as the numbers written on the wall, or the overly mythical abilities of the Avenging Angels organization, but overall, the main plot should be like that, and it really happened. of" Wang Xu asked: "That's just your personal opinion, right?"

Cat raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "So I went to Mr.
Conan Doyle today to confirm and verify my judgment."
"What" "Don't be surprised, he is not a celebrity now, he is just an ordinary writer.
In fact, he is still struggling in the stage between being unappreciated and becoming famous."
The corner of Wang Xu's mouth twitched twice: "So, he will tell you that this matter is true."
Mr.
Cat said: "Do you remember that Sherlock Holmes failed once in the study of the word in scarlet?
He let a guy pretending to be an old man defraud a piece of evidence from his hands, and that person never appeared in any of Conan Doyle's novels. middle.
The prototype of this man actually knew Conan Doyle in real life.
He was also a friend of Jefferson Hope.
It was he who told Mr.
Conan Doyle this story. " Wang Xu said: "You checked it really clearly."
Cat Master smiled confidently: "Of course, let's talk about Conan Doyle.
Although many critics in the world sneer at the literary status of detective novels, they have to admit that there are still some elements in many of Mr.
Conan Doyle's works.
Deep meaning exists.
The cases he writes involve various social realities in Britain today.
For example, the Four Signs objectively reflects the colonial plunder of India, the Red-Hair Club satirizes the current unemployment rate in Britain, etc.
These novels contain moral issues, Crime issues, but in the end, they are all about promoting humanitarianism and the spirit of retribution for good and evil.
In this study of Letters in Scarlet, Lucy’s story is undoubtedly intended to criticize polygamy and practices practiced through religion.
But there is also a terrible fact hidden behind it, that is, the two most critical figures both exist in reality, one is Jefferson Hope and the other is Driber. " Wang Xu crossed his legs and said, "Ah, let me think about it, what do we have on hand now?
A big revenge needs to be avenged, and Hou Bo, who finally suffered a heart attack, should have ascended, so in the end, we still come back.
Continuing with the question I just asked, Zhui Bo has become an unjust ghost."
Mr.
Cat said: "Yes, an innocent soul."
Wang Xu said: "Does this have anything to do with the Ripper case?"
Mr.
Cat sneered: "Well, I went astray in the first place.
Jack the Ripper is not a human being at all."
Wang Xu looked very confused: "Why not?
Even if you prove that a villain in a certain novel actually exists, you can't just put all the shit on his head."
Master Cat said: "I knew you would say that, but you and I have ignored the same point, a very important point, which is our existence."
There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in Wang Xu's mind, and he seemed to suddenly understand: "Are you talking about us?"
Mr.
Cat continued what he said: "We are a part of history, an indispensable part.
That's why we come back here.
It's not an accident, but an inevitability.
Historically, Jack the Ripper's last murder was on November 9th, and he has disappeared since then.
I have always been puzzled by the fact that the police could not catch him at all, and he did not seem to change his mind. , what made this madman stop?
Now I understand everything.
The people who stopped him are us."
Wang Xu nodded and said thoughtfully: "We are here because we are ghost hunters."
"After thinking about this, it suddenly dawned on me that our time-travel was on a mission and was of great significance, and it was most likely related to the case of Jack the Ripper.
If Jack were a human being, going back to 1888 It may not be us who can stop him, because there will definitely be many good detectives in the future who can complete this task.
But if Jack is not under human control and needs to be handled by ghost hunters, then our arrival will be enough.

Very well explained.
I didn’t know until this morning that I was not changing history, but correcting history.
Without our time travel, Jack would have continued to kill.
In order to keep history on track, we must stop the case after the November 9th case. he" Wang Xu asked: "Okay, assuming all your inferences are true, there is a force in the dark that brings us back to this point in time, and we are here to complete the mission of hunting Jack, then in what way did you do it?
It’s related to Zhui Bo’s wronged soul.”
Master Mao smiled: "It's a coincidence.
I was originally at a deadlock in the investigation of Jack's case, and then I wanted to do something else.
Sometimes changing the things at hand can also help with thinking. , so I took out a magazine and read it, and happened to read the novel.
Two things suddenly flashed before my eyes.
The first was Jack's letter, the letter with the kidney attached.
He claimed to be from hell; the other thing was that the targets he attacked were all prostitutes.
If you look at it with the simplest logic, these two situations show a very clear answer, coming from hell means that he is not human and only kills prostitutes because he hates them. " Wang Xu raised his eyebrows: "Oh, if you combine the two, you will find that this is a ghost who hates women."
"Then I thought about the issues related to this novel, and finally found that this guy Zibo fit these two characteristics very well, because he regarded women as tools and playthings, but in the end he died because of a plaything."
Wang Xu said: "But there may be many such innocent souls, and they may not be Zhui Bo."
Mr.
Cat sighed: "Haha, maybe we are all just pawns in the hands of God.
There is power somewhere that has already decided everything.
It is not a coincidence that I found that magazine.
It is a destiny that cannot be changed."
Wang Xu asked: "What do you mean?"
"Humph, use your spiritual sense to carefully look through the whole city.
Apart from this guy Zibo, are there any ghosts anywhere?
I think a few months ago, when the barrier in the sky first appeared , there is a powerful force unknown to us that gradually wipes out all supernatural things.
This stage was left just so that Jack the Ripper's show could be staged, and we are the ones responsible for the ending.
Haha, these guys are so thoughtful.
The blood sacrifice must be staged and it must end.
It's just that they threw the final work to Both of us. " After Wang Xu heard this, he immediately said unhappily: "If you had figured it out from the beginning and used your spiritual sense from the beginning, you might have saved a lot of brain cells."
Mr.
Cat sighed: "At least I solved the problem with reasoning at the last moment.
After I went to Mr.
Conan Doyle to confirm my deduction today, I also went to see Eyecone.
It looked exactly like the one described in the novel
.
"
Wang Xu stood up and walked to his room: "Then, tomorrow we will skin and remove this guy's bones and send him to the West
.
