Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 799 The newspaper seller at the bookstall

The industrial revolution in modern times brought great changes to the city.

Before the industrial revolution, the city was characterized by the primary industry, supplemented by the secondary and tertiary industries, and the level of urbanization was not high.

After the industrial revolution, industrial cities are characterized by a large proportion of the tertiary industry, agricultural modernization, high level of urban development, population concentration, and environmental pollution. The closer to the center of the spiral theater for anatomical performances, the more expensive the tickets.

Only when a plague breaks out, or a serial killer like Jack the Ripper appears, do people feel the downside of overpopulation.

The list of suspects listed by Scotland Yard is as many as a hundred people, and everyone looks suspicious. Later generations of murderers even included women in the list of suspects, and the basis of people's speculation is jealousy, because those prostitutes have given birth Pass.

Pomona also went through a miscarriage, and to be honest, she felt relieved, raising a child was really not an easy task, and dealing with Severus alone was enough.

She has helped other people look after their children for 30 years. Molly gave birth to six. Although it was very hard at first, Molly was free when they grew up.

Not every woman is so eager to have her own children. If conditions permit, she even wants to adopt Hermione, but Hermione may have more affection for her biological parents, and it is difficult for her to accept her former teacher as an adoptive parent.

Jack chooses his victims seemingly at random, and he will strike any drunken whore.

If the death of Anne Chapman made the dissecter understand the physiological structure of women, then the death of Catherine Eddos was already irrational. He was too heavy and had lost the sense of the scalpel precise.

It took five minutes for Jack to rip Catherine's face off. If he really killed Elizabeth a mile away on the night of the double corpse case and then ran to the protagonist's square to kill him, he must be exhausted blow.

It takes five minutes for a normal man to run a mile, five minutes to tear off his face, and five minutes to kill someone and flee the scene. How could he find Catherine Eddos in such a hurry and take her as a target in the dark street in the early morning? .

He singled her out, but the police stepped up their patrols and he couldn't be sure how much crime time he had.

A rational lunatic will not be as reckless as a chaotic lunatic. He will estimate the risk of being caught, and he will act only when he is fully sure.

To hide a leaf, it is better to hide her in the forest. It took 130 years for people to wake up from their obsession with Jack. Books about Jack's five victims, but not many people bought them, who cared about street women.

But is Catherine Eddos really a cheap whore?

After Catherine Eddos came to London from Wolverhampton, a city in the Midwest of England, she met Thomas Conway, an Irish homeless man. The two got couple tattoos and sold books around the UK.

Catherine, who could read and write, recorded the epic poems composed by Conway, and 500 family members attended her funeral after her death.

She was a respectable woman, otherwise so many family members would not have attended her funeral.

At that time, there were many men and women who left their hometowns to live in cities because of urbanization. They came from different places, where they met, knew each other, and fell in love with each other. London’s literary and artistic atmosphere can’t be supported by just a few celebrities, but also many street performers. Maybe Catherine is a teacher in the country. Not all of the 500 people who attended the funeral were her relatives and students, but everyone moved away. However, the school couldn't continue, so she had to go to the big city to make a living.

She should have something valuable, otherwise there would be no pawn, and that would be enough for her and Thomas to live for a while.

Not everyone who is engaged in literary creation can be as lucky as Mark Twain, who can make money by speaking. Thomas Conway is a poet, but his works are not popular. In order to make a living, he may sell books. Will sell some newspapers.

The appearance of Jack the Ripper made the devil of the fog city the headlines of big and small newspapers. Someone is complacent about his achievements and feeling the atmosphere of fear.

Maybe passing by by chance, maybe he bought a newspaper about himself from Catherine, and he heard the ragged country woman say: Jack the Ripper is really a shameless man.

London is a metropolis that judges a person's status by how well-dressed he is. Anyone who is despised by a beggar will feel very angry, let alone Jack.

If Catherine was the chosen target first, then Jack might be following her, but there were too many policemen, and he couldn't find a chance to do it until Elizabeth was killed and everyone rushed there.

He estimated the time for the patrolmen to pass by, and 15 minutes was a bit urgent, but it was worth the risk.

So what was the trajectory of Catherine's life like? Does she really have a newsstand? If so, where does she drive? Did anyone around see someone suspiciously stalking her?

This is only found in the police files of Scotland Yard. The detective asked many witnesses, but there is no fixed clue. Some people said that on purpose. They like and like this kind of scary atmosphere, and some people want to show off. He wants Jack to be what he sees him to be, a witness to the evidence and a novelist.

In 1888, the Sherlock Holmes detective collection A Study in Scarlet had been published, and an eyewitness even provided a strange man wearing a deer cap and a leather apron. The deer cap is almost the symbol of Sherlock Holmes , but Conan Doyle was not so well-known at that time, and this story was only published in Beeton's Christmas Annual.

This image was horrific, and later the newspaper referred to Jack the Ripper with a leather apron, so did the person who made the confession go to the newsstand opened by Catherine to buy this magazine?

At that time, the people who solved the case included two London police forces and the top detectives in the UK. Even Conan Doyle was invited to assist in the investigation. Jack not only won the Scotland Yard police, but also seemed to win Sherlock.

They don't really care about the dead, because they seem to have no value to society other than to show that their lives are a serial killer.

Because Jack even brought an industry and cultural symbol, there must be tourists who want to review the case of the year, just like Jack brought those female specimens to the crime scene to review from time to time.

This is his legacy. He became one of the ghosts and ghosts dressed up by children on Halloween. He went from a coward who couldn't hold his head up in front of women to a synonym for horror.

What was Catherine's fault for saying he was shameless?

She is a low-income person, but she has a regular lover, because she just came to London, one did not adapt to life in a big city, two did not find a job with a stable income, and could not rent a decent house.

The book Dracula was born in 1897, and 11 years have passed since the Ripper case. The vampire count has replaced Jack as a new symbol of horror and horror.

Why didn't Jack commit crimes again in order to save his reputation? Jack is not a zombie, he is just a mental patient, he got the plague and died.

Or he immigrated to the New World and continued his crimes in America.

Anyway, he escaped and escaped the sanctions of the human court, which gave many people a revelation: the police are not that smart, if they are smart enough, they can become a legend like Jack.

Pomona had hosted Winky, a house-elf with a drinking problem, and it never occurred to her to ask her how Buddy Crouch Jr. escaped Azkaban.

His mother died instead of him, and his father took advantage of his rights to sneak his son out of Beihai Prison, but arranged him in another prison.

Jack may have escaped prison and the gallows, but not the cage of marriage and family, spending the rest of his life playing someone else.

Maybe he couldn't bear to kill his wife in the end, and was put in jail by the police.

Another possibility is that he is so ordinary, so ordinary that no one can believe that he is the serial killer Jack the Ripper. Even if he admits it in public, others will think he is playing a joke.

He changed from Somebody to nobody again, as if nothing had happened. Even if he dreamed back at midnight, he thought it was just a weird dream.

She taught Cedric how to pretend, so that others would not feel jealous of him, but she seemed to be wrong.

It would be a shame if one day Cedric became a Death Eater like Buddy Crouch Jr.

What are you thinking? Severus smiled at her.

Jack the Ripper, she said honestly. And, do you want to be a poet or a prince?

Even if you told me what you were thinking, I wouldn't understand what you were thinking, Severus said. Where's your logic?

Buy me a drink and I'll tell you. She reached for his collar, it wasn't messy at all, and the shirt was white, but she did it anyway.

There was a light in his eyes.

I want to see what the bar in Padua looks like where the professor usually goes. She whispered I saw an evening dress in a Muggle department store. I want to wear it tonight. You don't want to wear this. dead.

What does it look like? he asked nasally, narrowing his eyes.

It's silk, and it's fastened at the back of the neck with two thin straps, and the whole thing falls off when you tear off the knot, she said. Do you like it?

I'm not sure you're dressed like that, I'll take you out. He stared at her dreamily.

But I want to get out. She squeezed his arm and said, Catherine's husband is a poet, and you are the Half-Blood Prince.

What? He was dumbfounded again.

So she started talking about her baseless reasoning.

How humiliating would a man in a leather apron be if he were caught by a housewife in a cloth apron? Best her reasoning wasn't right.

It's a pity that if you are too confident, you will be conceited. This kind of man is too common, and he is prone to negligence. Isn't that the case with Voldemort.
