Chapter 370 Everything About the Ripper

It is not a wise choice to directly cover the flesh and blood with "iron plate".

The process is very painful and has a high mortality rate. This is not a technique used on nobles and upper-class people.

The "body" here means "body" in a literal sense.

Bart called it "Slave Armor" because it was a technique used on dead soldiers and slaves.

The slave armor is nailed to the human body and cannot be removed. After being removed, the only way is death.

The piece behind it is not a simple iron plate, but inside is a great creation of steam machinery.

The needle penetrates into the blood vessel and extracts blood as fuel, triggering a special resonance from the rest of the armor.

Let the dead soldiers move just like ordinary people, even faster, without being weighed down.

Of course, the most important thing about Nujia is its defensive power.

As long as the head is protected, it is enough to become a "man of steel" and protect the owner from danger.

A big shot would definitely not wear this stuff on his body.

However, there may be one or two bodyguards around them who will wear slave armor - the more formal name is blood pattern armor, so named because of the red lines on the iron plate.

These lines are caused by blood slowly seeping through over the years.

Baron Bart wears blood-patterned armor because he was not a big shot and had a tragic but inspirational past.

His rise in Lingtong only occurred within this decade.

Thirty years ago, Bart was a slave in the Colosseum who was equipped with blood-patterned armor and fought with other people and beasts.

Going from a war slave to the current baron is quite inspiring.

The blood-patterned armor on his body was a secret that his wife, who was born in a declining noble family, and his two children never knew.

In fact, even I have almost forgotten that unbearable period, which was only more than a year, not too long but extremely painful.

Today's Baron Bart has long lost the bloody courage he once had, and has become not much different from other "big men".

After figuring this out, Xia Yanzhen asked, "Don't you think I am Jack the Ripper, and you think of me as someone from the Colosseum?"

Bart gave Xia Yanzhen a strange look and replied: "That place was established by a big businessman. Later he went bankrupt and died."

"Ah, so you weren't killed?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"……no."

Baron Bart said after holding back for a few seconds.

The informal "Colosseum" closed down completely when its owner went bankrupt, and he regained his freedom.

This is not an exciting story about fighting your way out.

Of course, this does not affect the motivation of going from war slave to baron.

If Bart was really killed, he would not have his current status.

"Okay, then in Linton, are there many people like you?" Xia Yanzhen, who thought too much, asked, "I mean people who nail iron plates to their bodies."

"Not much. This technology was declared illegal twenty years ago." Baron Bart said, "But that's not the reason. It's not because it's an old method."

The death rate is too high, and it is more about improving defense, but not outstanding in other aspects.

Over time, the technology became obsolete.

Of course, no matter whether the technology is old or illegal, it cannot stop the big shots from placing one or two dead soldiers in their residences.

Baron Bart is considered a big shot in Lingtong. He doesn't have such a dead man because he has one himself and doesn't need any extra ones.

It is still very expensive to raise slaves and dead soldiers, and the bankrupt businessman must be aware of this.

"Well, tell me more about Jack the Ripper."

After learning about the slave armor technology, Xia Yanzhen turned his focus back to Jack the Ripper on the mission.

"Jack the Ripper...is a madman." Baron Bart thought for a while and said.

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know him," Baron Bart said, "but as long as he knew what he did, anyone would think he was a madman."

"How to say?"

"Just look at the people he killed."

"I have not read the case file, and there is no specific information about the victim in the newspaper. I only know that the identity is extraordinary. I don't know who he killed specifically." Xia Yanzhen said, "The newspaper did not dare to say it clearly. It seems that the person who died was indeed very special." important."

Added a sentence of my own analysis.

Baron Bart looked at Xia Yanzhen and finally couldn't help but ask, "Have you just come to Linton?"

"That's right, answer my question." Xia Yanzhen didn't bother to weave a suitable identity for himself.

"The seven dead include three old nobles and four new nobles." Bart explained in the most concise language, "The Ripper offended not a certain person or a certain group of people, but the entire Linton and the entire Inver."

In the upper echelon of Lingtong, the positions, identities, and factions of the big shots are quite complicated.

But if you want to simplify it, it is very simple, there are only two types - the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy.

The Ripper came with a "double kill". How could such a person not be considered a madman?

"I've offended the whole Linton, Inver, so have you caught any clues about him?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

Bart was silenced when asked directly, and he shook his head in silence.

"No? Not at all?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"So to speak," Bart said.

Others may not be able to give such a definite answer, but Bart and Grantfield are close friends.

He really knew the progress of the investigation of the Jack the Ripper case very clearly.

Progress is terrible.

Apart from identifying the other party's unique criminal methods, Granville didn't know much more about Jack the Ripper than "Once Upon a Time in Lington".

"Since you haven't caught any clues, why do you think I'm not Jack the Ripper?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

"If Jack the Ripper was as high-profile as you, we would have caught him long ago." Bart said.

Contrary to Jack the Ripper's fiery reputation, is the Ripper's own behavior.

He is a ghost in Linton. No one except the dead has ever touched or seen him.

It is even doubted whether it exists at all - if the seven deceased people did not die in the same way.

Jack the Ripper's elusiveness can be glimpsed from the places where the seven victims died.

The two deceased men died in their carriages.

According to the coachman's recollection, he was driving normally (home) at night, and the deceased was sitting alone in the carriage.

They smelled the smell of blood while driving and realized something was wrong. They opened the door and saw that the man had been disemboweled and dead.

He died quietly while the carriage was moving.

The doors were closed, and the coachman did not notice anyone getting in or out of the carriage.

There were two other deceased persons who died at parties, one was a dance party and the other was an ordinary party.

The place of death was the bathroom.

Before discovering the deceased, no one was aware or aware of anything unusual - except that the deceased took a long time to go to the toilet.

The other three deceased died in their beds at home.

If the carriage and dance party were outside, there was a possibility of outsiders approaching.

At home, the possibility of outsiders approaching is greatly reduced.

Especially these three dead people, the last three dead people.

After the death of four prominent figures, the upper class has begun to feel insecure.

The protection of your home is naturally at its best.

The doors and windows were locked, the windows were reinforced with iron plates, and there were bodyguards outside the room.

However, even in such a well-protected secret room, people are still dead. When you enter the room at night, you are full of life, but when you look at it the next morning, you feel cold.

There are carriages that never stop, parties and dances in full view, and secret rooms.

Three extremely difficult circumstances to commit the crime. Jack the Ripper left nothing behind except his body.

He is like a ghost, appearing suddenly, killing people, and disappearing suddenly.

Not to mention Grand Field, even if you can call the Grand Field police officers around, point at higher-ranking detectives and detectives, scold them, and tell them to stay away, because their presence brings down the entire street. The great detectives who have street IQ and affect their own thinking are all at a loss.

It's not just Grant Yard who's looking, it's the Detective.

Little detectives and third-rate detectives are also looking for it.

Linton's Bounty Hunter Market, Jack the Ripper is the only mission at the moment.

Gangs of all sizes also regard finding Jack the Ripper as their most important task.

Even ordinary people know that there will be generous rewards for providing clues about Jack the Ripper.

The entire Lington is like a huge machine, running crazily looking for Jack the Ripper.

But... half a month has passed, and there are still no effective real clues.

Before the name Jack the Ripper was coined in "Once Upon a Time in Lingtong".

Inside Grant Yard, he is known as "The Ghost."

Obviously, this title is far less eye-catching than Jack the Ripper.

After the old story in Lington began to be reported, the name Jack the Ripper was also used within Grant Yard.

Unfortunately, the change of title does not speed up the progress of the case.

Xia Yanzhen's acting style is completely different from that of the ghostly Jack the Ripper.

If he were really Jack the Ripper, Baron Bart would be laughing his ass off.

His close relationship with Glenfield is maintained by the current Chief Inspector of Grantfield.

But Jack the Ripper couldn't be caught, and the chief inspector couldn't keep his position.

The hereditary title does not play a very good role in facing the huge pressure of the "double nobles".

Emotionally, Baron Bart is tempted to believe that the mysterious man in front of him is Jack the Ripper.

Intellectually, I really can't.

Moreover, Jack the Ripper was related to the safety of the big shots, and it was impossible to find anyone to blame.

After hearing "all" about Jack the Ripper.

Xia Yanzhen became more interested in completing the task through detective methods.

"Lingtong...who has the strongest combat power in the entire Inver?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

He had a half-baked plan in mind and needed more information.

"The strongest combat power?" Bart didn't know why.

"Do you have anything like steam mechanical armor on you?" Xia Yanzhen simply changed the question.

"Yes." Bart replied.

"Is it strong? Well... can it block the bullets of that steam gun? The kind that explodes."

"The armor can block blood bomb attacks," Bart said, "but it can't block it all the time."

"I want to see it." Xia Yanzhen thought for a while and said.

You can't figure it out just by listening to the description, you still have to experience it yourself.

"Okay, I have some friendship with Earl Marvin." Bart finally let go of the mention, he probably won't die.

Although the other party is not Jack the Ripper, he is a madman no less than Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper is a silent ghost who steals people's lives silently.

And this... Bart was not thinking of individuals, but of disasters such as fires and hurricanes.
