Chapter 209 Crazy Rainy Night(2/3)
In this downpour, he will continue to look for targets to attack.
After listening to Luden's analysis, although Detective Lei didn't fully believe it, he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
If it were true as Luden said, Jack the Ripper would have gone completely crazy!
Carrying out multiple murders in one night will undoubtedly put Inspector Lei under a lot of pressure!
Watching Luden walking towards the carriage, Detective Lei caught up and asked,
"Mr. Luden, where do you plan to go?"
"I'm going to stay in the security team's dungeon."
After getting on the carriage, Luden hung the kerosene lamp in his hand on the carriage and said seriously,
"I know you suspect that I am related to Jack the Ripper. If he commits a crime like this tonight, he will get into trouble.
And I, a law-abiding member of the Kingdom of God, have decided to cooperate with your work to the greatest extent possible."
Luden said it very seriously. Detective Lei felt that he was provoking.
Because Luden is indeed provoking.
"Provoking me is not an option, Mr. Dean!"
Inspector Lei stuffed the radioactive flashlight back into his waist, got on the carriage,
"However, you really can't go back tonight. How about we go back to the security team, have a cup of hot tea and play poker?"
He decided to use a gentler method to monitor Luden.
How to identify a man’s true face?
Two tables: wine table and gambling table.
Of course, this is not a good place.
However, the true nature of a man can best be seen at the wine table and gambling table.
Luden asked, "I thought playing poker was illegal."
"It is indeed against the law for you Chinese people to fight."
Inspector Lei corrected,
"What you are doing is vulgar gambling, and what we are doing is just entertainment for the people of Wudu."
Can entertainment and recreation be called illegal?
Luden had a new understanding of the flexibility of law enforcement in Fog City.
Under the darkness, the carriage drove towards the security team again.
Detective Lei sent his team members to search the streets and alleys to see if they could find more bodies and verify Luden's bizarre theory.
And he made an appointment with two friends to play cards with Luden in the security team.
Luden could not leave his sight for a moment. Even if he went to the toilet, Inspector Lei would follow him.
Soon, Inspector Lei regretted this decision.
In three hours, the three detectives lost a total of 45 pounds, which was equivalent to their entire income for three weeks!
Luden's wealth accumulated to nearly seventy pounds in one breath!
This amount of money is enough as start-up capital.
One of the detectives knocked down the cards in his hand and shouted dissatisfied,
"Damn it, Ray, where did you find this guy!"
Luden is so capable of winning!
Another detective also threw his cards into the pile,
"No fight!"
They were very sure that Luden was not a cheater.
The reason is simple. They can't defeat Luden even if they try to cheat.
The enhanced eyesight allows Luden to easily identify the opponent's cheating behavior, and he will control his losses as if he had never seen through it.
Luden has always been very good at acting.
The detectives did not ask Luden to get back the 45 pounds they lost.
Mainly because I can't afford to lose that person.
Moreover, although Luden won money, he was not an annoying guy.
It can even be said that Luden is very lovable and exudes charm, even for a man.
It's a pity that he is from the Kingdom of God.
One of the detectives yawned and asked,
"Mr. Dean, how do you plan to spend this huge sum of money?"
Luden said modestly, "I'm going to try my luck at Fu Bao Contract Exchange."
Yes, the Fu Bao Contract Exchange he established back then still exists today.
"Hahaha, believe me you will lose all your money there!"
"That's right, no smart person can make money from the blessing contract, even if you are 'Mr. Ludden'!"
"."
Inspector Lei is the most depressed person.
However, during this time, there has been no bad news.
There is no news, but for Detective Lei, it is the best news.
This shows that Luden’s previous inferences were all wrong!
The two detectives propped up the bed, lay directly on it, and fell asleep soundly.
They have worked the night shift and can receive a substantial allowance to make up for the loss tonight.
Inspector Lei was staring at Luden, while Luden was reading the newspaper leisurely, listening to the sound of rain, and drinking hot tea, feeling very comfortable.
Time passed by minute by second, and Inspector Lei not only did not feel tortured, but even felt relieved.
In the second half of the night, the rain gradually stopped.
At the same time, a faint light began to emerge from the east, and dawn was about to arrive.
Inspector Lei thinks it’s time!
"Mr. Ludden, your extraordinary reasoning ability has always left a deep impression on me. I once thought that you were the mastermind behind Jack the Ripper. Even if you are not the person, you are not involved."
Inspector Lei said slowly,
"But you finally made a mistake!
To be honest, it is better to be wrong than to be right. If you reason wrongly, it means you are still reasoning. If you are wrong, it means you have nothing to do with Jack the Ripper."
Listening to Inspector Lei's long speech, Luden couldn't help but ask a question,
"What if I made a mistake on purpose to clear myself of suspicion?"
What if I predict your prediction?
Inspector Lei:
Before he could speak, Luden shook his head and said to himself,
"Unfortunately, my reasoning was correct. You don't have to worry about this happening."
This time, it was Inspector Lei's turn to be confused.
He emphasized,
"Mr. Ludden! So far, my team members have not found the second body. Your reasoning is obviously wrong. Jack the Ripper did not kill the second person!"
Luden asked a question on an unrelated topic,
"How much do your team members get paid per week?"
Inspector Lei was stunned for a moment and subconsciously said,
"Four to eight shillings."
Luden continued to ask,
"When you were a member of the team, would you search for a body in a heavy rain that might not exist for this little money?"
This time, Inspector Lei was silent.
He may do it because he has ambition, ideas, ability, and wants to climb up.
However, most of the team members will not do this.
To be continued...
