v2 Chapter 264： Father Jacob (1/2)

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.”
