The steam age did not transition to the electric age, but traveled further on this road.

Various black, thick, riveted steel monsters, or extremely exquisite mechanical creations are a unique landscape in the world.

The city called Wynton is the center of the country Inver.

After entering the steam age, it continued to expand outwards, as if it were the country of Inver, the only one.

In the city, tall chimneys emit gray-white smoke all day long.

The sky is always covered with thick clouds.

There are seven days in a week, three days are cloudy, three days it rains, and one day is shrouded in thick fog.

Humidity and coldness are a characteristic of Lingtong.

Windbreakers, hats, handbags, and umbrellas have almost become standard travel accessories for people who can afford them.

In Linton, you can enjoy the most wonderful song and dance performances, taste the most delicious food, and enjoy the most luxurious houses.

Here are gathered the most noble nobles of Inver - His Majesty the King, the richest businessmen, the most talented artists, the most miserable poor people, and the craziest thugs and criminals!

The best of times, the worst of times.

The best city, the worst city.

This is Linton.

And Xia Yan's true identity, Munster Xia, is a patrol officer in Grant Field, the police station in Lington.

The patrol officer is the lowest-ranking police officer in Grand Yard, and his daily job is to patrol outside.

There is no distinction between day and night, and there are no statutory holidays - the various festivals in Linton are the busiest and most tiring times for patrol officers.

Munster Xia's job is the "night patrol" among police patrols.

I have a day off every day, and there are twelve hours of working time from 6 o'clock in the evening to 6 o'clock in the morning the next day.

The most "miserable" position in Grant Yard is patrolman.

The most miserable thing among patrol officers is the night patrol.

For no other reason, it is easy to get injured and die easily.

At night, this huge city plunges into darkness, like a dangerous giant beast that may swallow people at any time.

Every morning, in a stinky ditch or some dark corner in downtown, slum area.

There are always people screaming when they find a dead body.

People are dying all the time in this city, and at night, even more people die because of killings.

Including patrol officers are no exception.

The only good thing is that the patrol officers do not need to go to the "ghetto" of Linton for night patrols.

At least it will be a little safer.

As long as you don't meet those crazy serial killers.

Right now, there is a "famous" and "hot" serial killer in Warrington - Jack the Ripper.

This title comes from the newspaper "Lingtong News".

Although it is called "Old Things", it is all news.

Jack is a popular name, just like Zheng Guo's Zhang Wei, and has no special meaning.

The Ripper was his modus operandi.

Known as the most dangerous criminal in the history of Lingtong.

The reason is not because he killed a lot of people or his methods were rough.

From Jack the Ripper's "debut" to now, excluding some imitators, he has killed a total of 7 people.

This quantity is not much.

Not much.

Among the murderers in Lingtong's history, he is not even a number.

In the history of Lingtong, the mad criminals who committed the most murders were a couple who ran a hotel. Because of the convenience of their profession, eighty-two people were definitely killed by them.

Including those who are not sure, there may be more than a hundred people.

Of course, the official statement was even more exaggerated, with more than 200 people - obviously some unsolved cases were directly deducted from the top reward.

There is also a "torture chamber" in the basement of the hotel, and the method is much crueler than disembowelment.

The second one was a doctor. In the end, he was caught and more than fifty people died in his hands.

Seven people? Not even double digits.

Just open the barrel?

Compared with those crazy demons in history, they are basically younger brothers.

The reason why Jack the Ripper is so "famous" lies in "quality", not quantity.

The hotel couple's hotel is located on the border of "slum area" and "midtown".

Those who died in their hands were all foreigners who came to Linton and wanted to find a new life.

No one in Linton knew them.

That doctor is the "barefoot doctor" in the slums. The deaths of the poor are as commonplace as the rain in Linton.

The people Jack the Ripper killed were the middle class in the middle city, the rich and even the aristocrats in the upper city.

The life of one rich man is worth hundreds of poor people.

And the life of a nobleman cannot be compared with that of thousands of poor people.

A nobleman died.

How could this Jack the Ripper not be "hot"?
