"Then I'll leave it to you."
With such a guide, it would be like opening a panoramic map, and Scotland Yard would have no secrets at all.
The little beggar who was often arrested for stealing brought Sakaki Makoto and Kid to the small door on the side of the courtyard:
"Prisoners have to enter through the main gate and are sent to the prison after being interrogated. This is where their civilian staff work and come in and out. Occasionally, you can see someone smoking here, but once it's midnight, you can't see anyone... For convenience, the door is usually not locked."
As he spoke, the little beggar twisted the handle and his face froze.
Locked.
"let me."
Sakaki Makoto was in charge of keeping watch while Kidd stepped forward, pulled out a wire from the belt buckle, inserted it into the keyhole, and twisted it slowly.
Click.
In less than 10 seconds, Kidd pried open a door lock that the little beggar was helpless against. His technique was so skillful that it was even faster than having a key.
This is also one of the reasons why Makoto Sakaki insisted on bringing Kidd along.
Pick the lock with a slingshot...
He is much stronger than Conan and others.
The corridor was pitch black. It was nearly 4 a.m. and there were only a few police officers on duty in the civilian area. The kerosene lamplight flickered in the room, and the figure bent over the desk could be vaguely seen reflected on the wall.
"Shh..."
With the help of moonlight, the four people walked forward in the dark and followed the little beggar.
The bright moonlight cast a layer of silver on the ground. A quarrel between police officers could be heard not far away. Sakaki Makoto and his companions held their breath and tried not to make any noise.
Once discovered...
You can't escape even if you have wings.
Fortunately, these police officers never expected that someone would be bold enough to invade the police station, so Sakaki Makoto and his companions arrived in front of the morgue.
Standing outside the morgue, the air around them seemed to have become much colder. The little beggars shivered and said tremblingly:
"I...we won't go in, you guys try your best..."
"Thank you, you can go now."
The little beggars returned the same way, and Kidd stretched out his hand and was about to push open the door of the morgue...
"Jack the Ripper was a horrible person."
"Yes, it's not enough to just kill people, they also have to disembowel the already dead bodies... People like this should be hanged alive!"
There's someone inside!
Startled, Sakaki Makoto and Kid pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the sounds inside.
You and I were talking back and forth, accompanied by the crisp echo of metal objects touching each other. It seemed that there were only two people in the morgue, discussing the results of the autopsy.
Hearing this...
Sakaki Makoto immediately felt relieved, pointed at his police uniform, and winked at Kid.
Then, he pushed open the door of the morgue and strode in:
"Gentlemen, any results?"
As he expected, there were only two doctors in white coats in the morgue. They were surrounding the corpse lying on the cold iron bed, with a warm light bulb lit above their heads, and were performing an autopsy.
Seeing Sakaki Makoto and the other man, they immediately stopped what they were doing and replied, "Mr. Patrolman, after our examination, the cause of death of these two bodies is very similar to the method used by Jack the Ripper in his previous crimes. It is preliminarily inferred that the murderer is the same person."
"Thank you for your hard work. Officer Lestrade asked us to take a look at the situation."
Kidd spoke nonsense without hesitation, completely putting himself in the role of a policeman. He adjusted his high helmet, stood straight, and every move he made was full of confidence.
“You’ve worked hard, too.”
The two doctors quickly said politely:
"Jack the Ripper committed two consecutive crimes tonight, killing two middle-aged women at 1:00 a.m. and 1:45 a.m. respectively."
"But the strange thing is that the Swedish-American woman who died at 1 a.m. died of excessive blood loss caused by a sharp knife cutting her left carotid artery, but she did not undergo a cesarean section..."
"That's not in keeping with Jack the Ripper's style."
"Don't worry about that."
The brim of his hat dropped down, covering half of his face, and Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"When Jack the Ripper was committing the crime at 1 a.m., he was discovered by someone, causing him to flee in a hurry and unable to carry out the next step of disembowelment."
"I see!"
The doctors suddenly realized:
"If that's the case, I guess I have no more questions."
"Thank you, gentlemen. You can go back now. I will take care of the rest."
Without any suspicion, the two doctors took off their gloves, handed the autopsy record board to Makoto Sakaki, and left the morgue talking and laughing.
Squeak...
The door closed, and only Makoto Sakaki and Kid were left in the morgue.
“Finally succeeded.”
Taking off his high helmet, Kidd breathed a sigh of relief:
"Scotland Yard's defenses are so poor. No wonder the crime rate is so high. It's almost catching up with Beika Town!"
"That's how London was in the late 19th century. Come and lend a hand."
After casually flipping through the autopsy record, Sakaki Makoto didn't find any useful information, so he threw it aside and planned to put the two iron beds together to get a more intuitive view.
"Here I come."
Rolling up his sleeves, Kidd put all his strength into moving the iron bed with Makoto Sakaki. During the process, they could not make too much noise, otherwise it might attract the police.
After everything is done...
Sakaki Makoto put on his gloves and looked at...
On the bed on the left was a Swedish-American woman who died at 1 a.m. This was the body Conan discovered. The deceased's name was Elizabeth Stead.
On the bed on the right lies the female body found in Bishop Square. The time of death was 1:45 and her name was Catherine Eddowes.
The first body was intact, with no organs missing. There was only a narrow, black cut on the left side of the neck. Apart from that, there were no other injuries. The cause of death was unmistakable - excessive blood loss.
The second body was different. Perhaps to vent his anger, Jack the Ripper killed Catherine Eddowes by slitting her throat and then cut open her body. The twisted intestines even fell to her right shoulder, part of her uterus and kidneys were missing, and a strong stench and smell of blood was emitted.
Seeing the corpse, Kidd's face turned pale and blue, and he couldn't accept it.
Makoto Sakaki's face also turned pale. He had only heard about Jack the Ripper from hearsay, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel and would not hesitate to use extremely brutal methods to dismember the body.
No wonder he was named 'the most evil man in the country'.
"It's a good thing I didn't bring her here."
Covering his mouth and nose, Sakaki Makoto examined the body and said:
"It's better for us to bear this kind of corpse ourselves."
"...If I dress up as a woman, can you let me go, brother?"
Kidd couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned his head away:
"If you encounter such a brutal murder case again, please treat me as a woman, thank you."
"Okay, if you go to Thailand, I will treat you as a woman."
Glancing at him, Sakaki Makoto said expressionlessly:
"I am very tolerant. To me, there are only three kinds of people in the world."
"Which three types of people?"
