Detective Harry Macmillan was in an office at Scotland Yard, who had taken an oath herself, to find the murderer of Willemina Winchester; she was analyzing some papers, they were the notes on how the body had been found, with a couple of holes in the neck, some of the funeral service agents and others said with fear; "It must be a vampire", "or some demonic being", those were the rumors that ran through the streets of the city, in the other bodies that had been found the marks were the same, he had his fountain pen between his lips and his nose, he thoughtfully read each one of those notes.
The night fog of London began to fall, and the cold that caused this began to soak to the marrow of the bones, in the fireplace that was in her office, the fire leapt happily between the logs that were completely lit.
I had seen this type of crime on one occasion in Surrey, two wounds in a main vein of the body, wanting to bleed the victim, removing every last drop of the vital fluid that runs through the veins of the body, almost all of them young women and beautiful.
Who are you? - Macmillan said to the green board that at that moment had it full of clippings and annotations, diagrams of possible assassin weapons, and a huge question mark in the middle of everything.
An officer entered the office, it was close to midnight, many of the guards would begin their rounds from King Cross to streets bordering the Thames, in the last nights, these men were accompanied by guard dogs, but always the man was more As smart as they were, some women left them alive but severely face marks, when questioning those women, they did not remember the face, since it was always covered with a ski-mountaineer to cover themselves from the cold of the London fog.
Detective Macmillan, sir, we have made our rounds, the streets are in complete calm, only a fight of drunks who were leaving the brothel, they were not taken to jail since they both belong to the crown guard- the watchman spoke - We have only seen that, my colleague delivers cargo at 8:00 a.m., so he can see his report, attacks are always reported after midnight, so we have the suspicion that the attacker acts between eleven and twelve o'clock the night, since many of the victims can still be found alive or even hot- spoke the man with red hair who wore his navy blue uniform with a large black belt.
Thank you, Grant- Macmillan spoke who was up looking at the blackboard, while he wrote down the information the man was giving him- tell me, Grant, have you found any clues in the places where the victims were found? - The man looked at the blurry photographs that were in front of him - something that is out of place - the detective's eyebrow was frowning.
Grant tried to recall some of the crime scenes and in none of them was anything out of the ordinary, but the man couldn't remember anything at all.
No, Macmillan, sir- Grant spoke- generally we rotate, perhaps my partner Campbell remembers something, he was on duty the day Miss Willemina Winchester appeared dead, so he realized the poor girl could not defend herself or at least she knew the person who attacked her, Grant commented.
Thank you, Grant, now go and rest, tonight you have done an excellent job - the detective told Grant and his colleagues on duty - see you tomorrow, it's time for me to retire to rest, tomorrow will be another day and we can think more clearly.
Meanwhile in the brothel, Sir Walker had Mary Christine Ford on his legs, he began to kiss her neck, the girl smelled of perfume, but not the cheap one that other prostitutes used, it was a fragrance clearly perceived French, none of The two girls with whom he had been in love, these gave him a kind treatment, well if he is kind, yes, but they did not admire him, on the contrary, sometimes they looked at him from top to bottom as if they were doing him a favor just by speaking to him.
You are very beautiful, Christine- she said while she kisses one of her hands- this place is not for you, I would like to be able to support you to leave this place; It is more give me a few days, I will pay for your freedom- said the man to the young woman, he had just met her, but he felt something special for her, perhaps it was her full lips like Anna's, or the shape of her eyes like Willemina's, he only knew that the girl needed help and he was going to give it to her.
My lord, that would be a lot, I hardly know him, and I am a prostitute- said the young woman with a sad face, the girl looked down with a feeling of shame, she remembered the time of medium opulence of her family, in which they had servitude
at home, but all of that ended when her father started gambling and she ended up there.
I will help you, you do not have to be ashamed, you are not like those spoiled little girls in London society, as the case of that Winchester girl, belonging to a good family and rumors say that she was murdered by a lover or that she was a prostitute, of course not like this place, if not within the society of royalty - I speak with a poisonous accent against the woman who had been murdered with cruelty.
Thank you very much, My lord- the girl took one of the hands and gently kissed the back of the hand of the man who smiled at such a caress, Mary Christine Ford was beautiful, it would serve to appease his carnal desires, since despite her status as a prostitute retained a certain degree of innocence that he liked so much.
Hours earlier at the Winchester mansion, Elizabeth and hers, her boyfriend Robert Jones, found her sister's diary; Lady Winchester with her fiancé began to take clothes from the deceased, Betsy as Robert called her, began to save dresses and other things that belonged to the girl, these would be kept in the attic of the mansion and the other smaller objects would be preserved In the room that had belonged to her in life, in one of her side cabinets, the girl kept a notebook bound in black leather, when Lady Winchester opened it she realized that it was the intimate diary of her little sister Willy, would it be prudent Read it? Would you say something about the murderer? Without further ado, he began to read it aloud so that Robert would still know what that little book said, which began like this:
Dear Diary:
I saw him today ...
Sir, I am enclosing half a kidney that I took from a woman and that I have kept for you, the other part I fried and ate, it was very tasty. I can send you the bloody knife with which it was extracted, if you wait a bit. "- Jack the RipperIt was the year 1899 in the capital of England, it was a rainy and cold autumn night, a shadow was walking through the cobbled streets, a carriage was heading home, the horses could be heard walking slowly, the imposing Big Ben marked twelve o'clock. The night and a heartrending cry broke the silence that until now reigned in the streets.The police officers immediately arrived where the scream occurred, on the scene there was an elegantly dressed woman, it was Lady Willemina Winchester, daughter of the Duche of Winchester, she had a cut on her neck that looked like two holes in the jugular vein, the blood ran from the neck to the beginning of the chest, her gray silk dress with garnet t
The cold morning of the English capital could be felt in all aspects, a funeral procession was followed by many people, the youngest daughter of the Earl of Winchester was to be buried, the family crypt, large, gloomy and cold, would be the last resting place of Willemina Winchester, her loved ones were preparing to say goodbye, just a few months ago their mother passed away from a heart attack, leaving the sisters heartbroken.The pain that Elizabeth felt, could not be described in words, her little sister, Willy, would never see her again with her beautiful sky blue eyes; the men dressed in black lowered the glass coffin, and she led her into the crypt, she would soon have to leave her in the coldness of that place.I promise you, Willy, I swear, I will find that person who killed you- Elizabeth said with tears in her eyes- I will make him pay, I will not rest until I see him sunk in jail paying for your death- the woman wiped her eyes wit
Harry Macmillan stood in the Winchesters' tearoom with a hat in one hand and in the other, clad in black gloves, he introduced himself to Lady Winchester and her boyfriend, Sir Robert Jones.Come in, have a seat, Sir Macmillan? -the woman offered him her place in front of her and hers promised hers, the living room could be heard murmurs that came from the kitchen, they were the employees who were fixing and cleaning the place.Can I offer you something? - Elizabeth questioned the newcomer - a tea, wishky? - The lady took a seat, the men were standing while they waited for her to take a seat; When they finished doing it, they proceeded to do the same action above.A Whiskey please, Miss Winchester, as I have told you upon my arrival I have come to speak about your sister and the murderer of midnight, I have also come to offer my services to solve the crime, but above all to do justice to your young sister and other girls
Night was falling on the London capital, the few lights that illuminated King Cross were beginning to turn on, some carriages pulled by beautiful horses of all colors were circulating on the king's road.A place began to show bustle and vulgar piano music, the smells of cheap perfume, hair oil and rouge were the mixture of the place, beautiful and not so beautiful women were working, vulgar laughter was mixed with other sounds; a man dressed entirely in black, from footwear to an old felt hat, looked like something out of a horror tale.That man looked carefully at each of the women in the place, he had a glass of port in his right hand and in the other a cane with a silver handle; He studied each of the women and people who were inside the place, the person in charge of the place approached him to ask if she was interested in any of the girls in the place to have a good time.If I like that one, the one with black hair
