The policemen blocked off the alley as Lucy and the Inspector walked closer towards the body , "there's blood and guts everywhere" said the Inspector as he examined the crime scene. "Yes , something tells me The Shadow of Whitechapel enjoyed murdering this particular woman" said Lucy , suddenly the police sergeant arrived at the crime scene , "sir we found a head impaled on the fence just over there" said the sergeant as his pointed towards the edge of the street.
"I'm on my way sergeant" said the Inspector as Lucy looked around the crime scene , as she examined the area around the body she noticed something laying on the ground beside it. "What is that?" thought Lucy as she held her nose to block out the smell of death , she reached her arm out and picked up the item , "a policeman's whistle...oh dear the Inspector will not be happy" thought Lucy.
A few minutes later Lucy told one of the police officers to call the coroner and then walked towards the edge of the street towards the Inspector. "Ugh , there's blood on my shoe" said the Inspector as he examined the fence where the severed head was impaled on , "Inspector I need to talk to you in private" said Lucy , "very well" said the Inspector , they walked across the street and stood beside the closed shops.
"What is it Lucy?" Asked the Inspector , "I found this next to the body" said Lucy as she took out the police whistle out of her pocket. "Bloody hell...that is a police whistle" said the Inspector , "yes it appears one of your officers could be the Shadow of Whitechapel" said Lucy , "if the press found out about this it would make us look very bad" said the Inspector , "yes Inspector it would" said Lucy.
A moment later as Lucy handed the Inspector the police whistle Matthew had come around the street corner , "ah hello Inspector and Lucy too , what is going on?" Said Matthew. "The Shadow of Whitechapel has claimed another victim" said Lucy as she looked at him , "we nearly had him this time , the woman was murdered a short time ago" said the Inspector as swiftly stuffed the police whistle into his pocket.
Several minutes later the coroner had arrived to take the body and the head away as the fog cleared a little , "I think your suspect list has changed now Inspector" said Lucy , "yes I shall need to question every officer that was around this street , I must go now" said the Inspector , a moment later the Inspector walked across the street and called to the sergeant and his fellow police officers to head to the temporary headquarters near the train station.
"What was that all about?" Asked Matthew , "I found evidence at the crime scene , unfortunately it implicates that a police officer may be The Shadow of Whitechapel" said Lucy. "Yes that is unfortunate but I have confidence that the Inspector will find the murderer" said Matthew as he stared across the street towards the alley where the body was found.
"Hmm something is wrong here , The Shadow of Whitechapel has been very careful and very smart , he leaves no traces and no evidence but now suddenly we find something?!.." said Lucy. "Hmm well I'm sure The Shadow had a reason for leaving evidence behind or maybe he wasn't careful enough this time" said Matthew , "yes I suppose he could have been a little careless but something feels wrong.." said Lucy.
"I'm sure you and the Inspector will figure things out" said Matthew as he placed his hand on Lucy's shoulder , "I hope so , he must be caught soon before he kills again" said Lucy. "As you said he is smart and he has avoided being caught so far" said Matthew as Lucy looked at him , "have you cut yourself shaving again?" Said Lucy , "no why do you ask?" Said Matthew.
"You have a little blood on your sleeve" said Lucy , "oh yes I was preparing some meat for breakfast earlier , I thought I would make my own sausages" said Matthew. "I have not made those for a while" said Lucy as she and Matthew began to walk through the streets , "I saw something odd earlier before arrived on that street" said Matthew , "oh what did you see?" Asked Lucy.
"I saw the police sergeant acting strangely and he had a handkerchief sticking out of his pocket" said Matthew , "what is odd about that?" Asked Lucy. "I swear it had a little blood on it" said Matthew , "you think he murdered those women" said Lucy , "if he did then the Inspector will find out" said Matthew as he and Lucy had arrived outside her house , "well time to get some rest" said Lucy.
"Yes me too , I have a busy day tomorrow" said Matthew , a few moments later he kissed her in the cheek and then walked towards home. Lucy went inside her home and headed towards her bedroom and began to undress , "I wonder how the Inspector is doing questioning his own officers" thought Lucy as she finished undressing herself and climbed into her comfy bed.
Meanwhile at Scotland Yard , police headquarters...
"Alright men empty your pockets now!" Said the Inspector , the police officers emptied their pockets one by one and held their items in their hands. "Show me your whistles" said the Inspector , one by one the officer's showed the Inspector their whistles , "where is your whistle Sergeant Wayne..." Said the Inspector as he looked at him suspiciously , "I'm sure it's here somewhere sir" said sergeant Wayne as searched his pockets.
A moment later the Inspector took out the police whistle Lucy has found beside the dead woman's headless body , "is this your whistle Sergeant?" Said the Inspector as Sergeant Wayne grew nervous as the other police officers looked at him , suddenly Sergeant Wayne ran away as fast as he could through the police station , "arrest him!" Shouted Inspector Abberline.
The police officers chased Sergeant Wayne throughout the building until they cornered him in Inspector Abberline's office , "there is nowhere to run Sergeant" said the Inspector. Sergeant Wayne looked around for an escape and then suddenly he charged towards the window , "what the!?" Said the Inspector as he and his fellow police officers watched as Sergeant Wayne threw himself through the office window.
The Inspector ran towards the shattered window and looked out of it , he watched as Sergeant Wayne ran away and then vanished into the fog. "Damn!! , he's escaped , one of our own officers broke the oath" Said the Inspector and then sighed , "don't worry sir he won't escape from us next time!" Said Constable Wilson..
