Chapter 192 Part 1: Sequence of Murder
Without saying anything, Chen Xiaolian placed the woman’s driving license into his pocket.
“Hey, return it to me!” said the woman. She appeared agitated.
“Enough! Stop yelling!” said Chen Xiaolian who went over and grabbed her arm. He continued, “Now, come with us. We suspect that you… en…”
He was not familiar with the laws of the UK.
As a forensics expert, Colombo quickly chipped in, “We suspect that you are engaged in making illegal transactions through indecent behaviour. Now, come with us!”
“No! You cannot do this! I did not do anything! You have no right to… Damn it! Unhand me, you bastards!”
Chen Xiaolian ignored the woman’s struggles and he seized and shoved both her arms to her back.
Colombo was stunned and he was at a loss at what to do. He said, “That, are we really going to take her…”
Chen Xiaolian struck the woman’s neck with a palm strike, knocking her unconscious. Then, he swung her over his shoulder and said, “Carry her bag!”
“… … eh? Oh oh oh, all right!” Colombo stuttered and he quickly picked up the handbag that was left on the ground.
Seeing Chen Xiaolian carrying the woman over, Phoenix and Dr Mu emerged from the clump of bushes.
“What are you doing?” asked a frowning Phoenix.
Chen Xiaolian pointed upward toward the sky and said, “Did you not see that the sky is getting brighter? It seems that the killer is not coming… we might as well bring her back with us.”
“Bring her back?”
Chen Xiaolian shook his head and answered, “This is not a good place to discuss this. Let’s go!”
After saying that, he carried the woman and ran out of the park.
Phoenix quickly contacted the other members and they met up by their cars.
Chen Xiaolian shoved the woman into the back of the car. He also produced a rope to tie up the woman’s hands. Turning around, he glanced at Phoenix and said, “What are you staring at? Come help out!”
Phoenix narrowed her eyes as she inspected the rope that Chen Xiaolian was using to tie up the woman. She blurted out, “Black Widow’s spider silk?”
Something akin to a smile flashed through her eyes and she said, “You sure know how to make good use of everything.”
As she spoke, she produced a blindfold and proceeded to blindfold the woman.
“Out with it, what exactly are you planning?”
After hearing Phoenix’s question, Chen Xiaolian pointed up to the sky, exhaled and said, “We may have made a mistake.”
“What?”
“You see, we have been observing the trunk and waiting for the rabbit to come [1]. In the end, the rabbit did not appear,” Chen Xiaolian pursed his lips to the side and continued, “What is the problem?”
“Maybe Jack went to kill someone else,” Phoenix answered after giving it some thought.
“That is possible,” said Chen Xiaolian who nodded his head. Then, he said, “However, there is another possibility… maybe, we’ve been found out. Do not forget, the Jack created by the system might be the same one as in history… we’ve seen him before. He could go through walls. He might be a ghost or some spirit entity. Hell only knows that he is.
“He might have noticed us back when we were running over to set up the ambush. We were able to hide ourselves within the bushes. But, he might have a stronger hiding ability. Perhaps, he could even become invisible… those are all possible.”
“If so…”
“So, if merely observing the trunk and waiting for the rabbit won’t work, I want to cut down the trunk and bring it home!” Chen Xiaolian grinned and continued, “That way, the rabbit will come to us!”
…
Lun Tai, Bei Tai and the others had already returned.When Chen Xiaolian told them about his plan, both Lun Tai and Bei Tai was shocked. Then, Lun Tai laughed, “This idea is quite interesting.”
“Idiot!” Naturally, the one who objected was Dagger. It was questionable as to whether he was simply born with a ridiculing face or if Chen Xiaolian had a hate-inducing aura around him. Looking at Chen Xiaolian caused a feeling of dislike to rise within him and he spoke out harshly, “To think you would suggest such a stupid idea. What if the killer chooses to give up on this target and chooses to go after a different person? What a joke!”
Chen Xiaolian ignored him and asked Colombo, “Mr Colombo, there are five victims recorded in history. Last night, the first victim had fallen. Now, we have the second victim with us… now, I need the information of the other three victims.”
“Eh? Oh…” Colombo combed through his mind and said, “The other three victims are Annie Chapman, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly.”
“Good, the location?”
“Err… Annie Chapman was killed in Hanbury Street while Catherine Eddowes died near Bishop Street. As for Mary Jane Kelly, she was found dead in her apartment at Dorset Street,” answered Colombo. As expected of one who had researched up on this case for years, he was highly knowledgeable about those information. Pausing for a moment, Colombo then said, “The third and fourth victims died in outdoor areas. Only the fifth victim died in her own home…”
“Map! I need a map!” Chen Xiaolian hastily said.
Colombo quickly produced his mobile phone and opened up a map of London.
“We need to take advantage of the time!” Chen Xiaolian quickly said, “The fifth victim died in her own home… in that case, I believe the system will let the story progress in the similar manner. There should be an exact address for the fifth victim, just like in history! Thus… we’ll now split up. One group will go find the fifth victim and bring her back!”
