The victim would be suspended and unable to sleep, because if they fell asleep and their head drooped, the prongs would pierce their chin and sternum."

I had the pleasure of using this method on a young woman who screamed very loudly at first, but soon became silent because she gradually realized that screaming would only accelerate the depletion of her physical strength.

He suddenly looked at Youjing fiercely, "You don't know how many days a person can go without sleep, right?"

"Three days!"

"That woman lasted three days!"

"I was just wasting time with her in a suburban horse farm, like a hawk. If she could outlast me, I wouldn't mind letting her go, but she failed! I saw with my own eyes her jaw being pierced by a double-headed fork. It was such a beautiful sight. Someone like you, who doesn't have any artistic talent at first glance, won't understand."

"There's also the Bronze Bull Punishment... You've definitely never heard of it, right? Do you need me to tell you about it?"

The expression Ukyo had just seconds ago froze on his face.

His senior detective had originally wanted to come in and warn him not to torture the prisoners casually, but now, veteran detective Sean excitedly stepped forward, punched him hard on the side of the face, spat on his nose, grabbed his hair, pressed it to his lips and said viciously, "So it was you! Berena, who lived near Whitechapel, died on the two-headed fork. Let me ask you, those rape and murder cases of women near Whitechapel were also committed by you, right?!"

"You still have the guts to deliver a provocative letter to the police station?!" Detective Sean patted Old Jack on the face. "Aren't you very capable? Why don't you scream?"

Ukyo's expression was shocked twice in a short minute.

It is hard not to think of the infamous Jack the Ripper when it comes to committing murders near Whitechapel.

This killer is mentioned in Conan Doyle's books, but in fact, he is not a fictional character in the book, but a real killer active in the East End of London in history.

He even arrogantly sent a letter written in red ink to the Central News Agency, stamped with his fingerprints, and signed it "Jack the Ripper", jokingly stating that he was the murderer of the prostitutes and claiming that he would continue to kill more prostitutes before being arrested.

From then on, he became obsessed with sending warning letters before each crime.

However, even though he explained the time and method of his crime in advance, the London authorities still could not catch him.

This became a disgrace to the police system in the late 19th century.

Youjing would never have thought that he would catch such a notorious murderer by chance.

He looked up, trying to see what the legendary criminal looked like.

However....

His appearance was far from being ferocious, and even looked very ordinary, no different from the image of middle-aged uncles that can be seen everywhere in the UK.

That's right, it's hard for a person who is born with a criminal's face not to be suspected. He was able to escape so many rounds of police searches perhaps because of this "ordinary" face.

However, there is no point in catching a fictional murderer in a fictional world. Ukyo has seen several murders committed by Jack the Ripper in this world. Although they are slightly different from the real historical world, they are equally cruel.

Now that he has been caught, he will definitely be hanged in public.

Before he is killed, Ukyo still has something to ask him.

"You're going to die anyway. Before you're hanged in public, you might as well tell me everything you need to know, such as why you killed so many women, and... why you attacked me."

Ukyo was answered by a long silence.

This arrogance made Ukyo's temporary criminal police superior Sean very angry. He punched Jack again and again, trying to vent his anger for the dead girls in this way.

But instead of saying anything, Jack began to describe how the girls died.

"The middle-aged prostitute was named Martha Tablin... I stabbed her thirty-nine times."

"Mary Ann Nicholas... I pulled out her two front teeth, cut her neck, then cut her open and dragged her out... Hahahaha~~ Guess what I found in her belly? An unborn baby girl! So I stabbed the child twice more!"

"Shut up!"

This one was called by Sean.

And Ukyo was loading bullets into his Beretta.

At the end of the 19th century, there were no Beretta rifles and no suitable bullets, so the bullets in this rifle were very precious. Ukyo had never been willing to use them. Even though he was a fictional criminal in a fictional world, he was still thinking about whether he should use Archduke Landau's stained blood bullets to bleed him?

But then he put the gun down again.

It's not worth wasting a precious vampire bullet on such scum.

He must first be sent to the torture chamber, and after a round of inhuman torture, he will be hanged in public. Only by letting the citizens of London watch him can he give an explanation to the people.

Ukyo felt that a criminal like him who had no faith would not be able to withstand several rounds of torture.

Even though he was shouting stubbornly, Sean's punches on his face and stomach were just that, painful, but not unbearable.

Once you enter the torture chamber, you will have to endure the branding iron and whipping first.

Volume 147: Chapter 4 Oh! Damn British Etiquette! (5k)

...

...

The torture chamber in the basement of the London Police Station was a little beyond Ukyo's expectations.

He thought this place had been abandoned for a long time, but the smell of blood lingering around his nostrils was very fresh.

Detective Sean was escorting Jack, and two young men holding batons were following behind with serious expressions, staring at him, fearing that this serious criminal would run away. At the same time, there was a hint of admiration and jealousy in their eyes when they looked at Youjing.

He is admired because he caught the Ripper, which brought shame to the entire London police force.

It is said that patrolmen had discovered traces of the Ripper more than once, but since two patrolmen were injured by the other party, many patrolmen became afraid. When they saw similar people, they only dared to take a detour and did not dare to rush forward. The average patrolman's monthly salary was only 20 shillings, so why would they risk their lives?

Even experienced detectives who often work with murderers feel angry and terrified when they hear this name. They are angry because the Ripper is shitting on the necks of London police officers, and they are terrified because they are afraid that his cruel criminal methods will be used on them.

Jack has long proven his skills to the outside world. He is not an opponent who can be defeated by sending a few more people and a few more guns.

But the new Asian man in the police station actually subdued Jack single-handedly.

They worshipped and greatly admired his personal strength and bravery.

But at the same time…the jealousy in their hearts was also because Ukyo caught the Ripper.

This matter has now been reported to the Commissioner, and will definitely be reported in the newspapers tomorrow. By then, he will become a hero known to all Londoners, and his future in the police department will undoubtedly be smooth. Having solved this major case that has caused social unrest, he will definitely be knighted by the Queen.

Since the 19th century, the awarding of honors and knighthood has not attracted as much attention as it did in the feudal period, but the British royal family represented by the Queen still has a lot of real estate and gold. The title is not important, and the real estate and gold bestowed by the Queen are what make these young people envious.

Human nature is so contradictory no matter where you are.

Admiration and jealousy can occur simultaneously in the same person.

... ...

...

Half a day later.

Old Jack's body was covered with red-hot iron marks and hideous whip marks.

The tiger bench crippled both of his legs. Now, he can only move his legs together naturally and has lost the ability to walk.

But even so, he still didn't speak.

He refused to reveal the identity of the employer who bought Youjing's life, nor did he reveal the whereabouts of the remaining missing women.

Yes, in "Greater London", Jack the Ripper committed a total of 18 atrocities, which were even worse than the serial killer in the real world. In addition, there were two missing women whose whereabouts were unknown. Considering that they disappeared in Whitechapel and were both female, the police attributed the culprit of these two murders to Jack.

Inside the interrogation room, Detective Sean was already feeling a little dry-mouthed.

He supported Youjing's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect him to be so stubborn. I'm going upstairs to get some water. You can handle the second half of the interrogation today. I'll come down after I've had a drink. You're a newcomer, so be gentle and don't kill the prisoner. I know this guy who wants you dead is a heinous person, but he hasn't explained his crime yet. We need to record his confession so that we can give the public an explanation."

Ukyo didn't know what Detective Sean had misunderstood.

Logically, a newcomer shouldn't have interrogation skills, so his advice should be, "Be brave. There's a first time for everything. This guy is not human. Don't be afraid to take action." Rather than, "Be gentle. Don't kill the prisoner."

That's what I said.

As if he were an experienced torturer.

Ukyo sat down on the only bench in the torture room.

In fact, the three torture instruments Sean used before are almost enough. As for the other cruel-looking ones, once they are used, the prisoner is basically close to death. The main purpose of developing those torture instruments is to take advantage of the criminal's fear and force him to speak.

But once the prisoner knows that the torturer's purpose is not to kill him, as long as he sticks to the core logic of "the torturer dare not kill me", these torture instruments will no longer be scary.

Rather than punishing a criminal as a way of venting his anger, Ukyo actually prefers to "chat" with him.

"You shouldn't be so stubborn."

In the silent interrogation room, Ukyo asked this question, and Jack listened quietly without answering.

"Only people with faith can be as firm as you. If you're just a sociopathic criminal, there's no reason for you to hide something."

“So you are actually a person of faith.”

"Are you a Christian?" Ukyo observed Jack, who was tied to the interrogation rack with blood oozing from his lips. His eyes did not change when he heard the word "Christian".

"Buddhism isn't very popular in London, but there are always surprises. Are you a Buddhist?"

"No, maybe Islam, or Judaism."

No matter what Ukyo mentioned, his expression never changed.

Faith does not necessarily have to be an established "religion", it can also be a real person, for example, some fans like to say that "brother" is their faith.

So.....

Who is the man who can convince London's most wanted criminal to believe in him?

He/she must be a professional criminal who is even more horrific than the “number one criminal”.

It's not difficult to guess that Ukyo is easily associated with someone.

"Maybe you have a good relationship with Moritia."

"What is he to you? A family member, a friend, a teacher... or is he the guide who pulled you out of the abyss when you were being insulted and beaten by a woman?"

Many criminal profilers have drawn a conclusion from the crime scenes committed by Jack the Ripper:

The reason why he treated women so cruelly was definitely because he had some kind of extreme hatred towards women as a group.

That's why Ukyo provoked him so much.

When those hidden scars are revealed, it is easy for the person to get angry.

Although Jack still appeared calm, the slight movement of his eyes proved that he reacted to the name "Moritiah".

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether he pleads guilty or not. The police station can always produce a transcript that satisfies the public. The "clerk" responsible for writing the transcript has made these fabricated transcripts more than once or twice. Each of them is a storyteller and can easily fabricate a logically consistent transcript, from birthplace to criminal motive, to final confession, everything can be arranged clearly for you.

"I just want to know who hired you to kill me. That shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"First of all, I can rule out Moritia. I'm his cash cow now. He hasn't practiced with me helping to fix matches. If my 20-game winning streak is ended, he can make a lot of money from it."

"So the person who hired you must not be him. If I die, I will be completely worthless to him."

"Since it has nothing to do with your master behind the scenes, there's nothing wrong with telling it."

“…”

Ukyo just kept wasting time with him.

Miss Irene's opera is about to begin, and they agreed to go shopping for clothes after the opera. Youjing doesn't want to delay this because of a scumbag.

Just as he stood up to leave, Old Jack's lips moved.

"The man who wants to kill you is called Bazhua... You... should know him."

"He used to be a thug, relying on his fists to make a name for himself in London. He had thousands of people under his command, including drunkards, hooligans, prostitutes... all the low-class people in London. He was in charge of them all! From Tower Bridge to St. Paul's Cathedral to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, his minions could be found everywhere on the ferry! That's why everyone called him Octopus because his minions were everywhere, like an octopus."

"Cough..." The seriously injured old Jack coughed up blood and his voice suddenly became excited.

"Until one day, Moritia showed up and annexed Octopus' gang with great fanfare. No one knew how he did it. Rumor has it that he didn't even have a gun at first, yet he single-handedly robbed a gang's boat across the Thames. He single-handedly defeated an entire shipload of gangsters in less than a month, and Octopus' legend was over."

"And now..."

"Octopus works under Professor Moritia. He was the ring overlord of the underground boxing ring at the end of last season. He will be your next opponent!"

"He wasn't sure he could beat you, so he paid for help!"

Old Jack had endured three rounds of severe torture and was exhausted. He spoke incoherently.

"You've been holding on to it, why are you suddenly willing to talk about it?" You Jing scooped up a bucket of cold water with a ladle and poured it on his head to sober up his fevered head.

"I just don't want to have to argue with that useless detective, but you're different. You're the one who arrested me. I admire you very much! With your abilities, you'll definitely do something big in London! Why are you hiding in this shabby police station?"

"I've only been a policeman for six days." Ukyo picked up the hot iron and pressed it next to his still intact belly button.

"What is your relationship with Moritia?"

"There was no connection, but I took orders from him and bought goods from him, such as double-headed forks and guns."

"So you're not an admirer of Moritia?"
