Ch.1- The First Part of Puzzle
[Scotland/Glasgow- March 10, 1872]
Detective Arnold Lewis
What's the results of your examination on the victims' body..?
(Took the paper which had his notes on it and started to read with a clean voice..)

Forensic Expert Wilfred Quenton Yale
The victims' hands were most likely cut off with a knife or sword, down to the carpal bones - which was found to be silver. The victims' knee joints were stitched together with wire, again made of silver or a silver-based alloy. These procedures were performed while the victims were still alive by paralyzing their hands and feet with a type of tropical poison/********. The common cause of death is blood and limb loss. The first three of the victims were soaked in water for a long time after the listed procedures, which caused some abrasions and swelling in their skin. As a signature, the killer dressed all victims in white satin nightgowns that extended to their knees and brought down white gloves with English embroideries over their joined knees. The mittens corresponding to the left little finger are cut to the end of the finger. The mouths of the victims are tightly sealed with some kind of resin. The victims were filled with blood from their stomachs to their oral cavity. As a result of the tests, it was understood that it was human blood. My guess is that this procedure was performed by collecting blood from the wrists and legs of the victims. Powder or some type of white pigment was applied to the foreheads and noses of the victims. In all of the victims, the hair was fixed by combing back and tightly. A resin similar to that used in the mouth can be applied. The victims' canines were removed. The removed teeth were placed on the middle fingers of the gloves on both sides. Their positions are placed with the pointed end forward.
Detective Irene Udela
(She rubbed her fingers between her eyebrows..) It's quite a complicated method..
Detective Irene Udela
(To Detective Lewis..)Where do you think we should start researching..?
Detective Arnold Lewis
Let's start with the glowes and silver blades since it appeals to wealthy class, we can find a hint about the murderer..
Forensic Expert Wilfred Quenton Yale
That's a good point but, you should also research for the chemicals which murderer used on the victim's body..
Detective Irene Udela
Why did you especially emphasize the chemicals..?
Detective Arnold Lewis
Is that some kind of unique mix or something like that..?
Forensic Expert Wilfred Quenton Yale
Yes, and I can't even understand the compound of that mix..
[United Kingdom/Leeds- March 20, 1872]
[In the private laboratory of the Dr. Anderson Ellis Bram..]
Barnaby Valera Moon
Hm..that's a really complicated method of killing someone..don't you think so too..?
Dr. Anderson Ellis Bram
(Not responding to the question and continue taking notes of his new test..)
Barnaby Valera Moon
You're quite but actually really interested in that case, right..?
Dr. Anderson Ellis Bram
(Raised his head from the papers and looked directly at the eyes of Barnaby..)That's a case we shouldn't involve in..
Barnaby Valera Moon
Why..?
Dr. Anderson Ellis Bram
(sigh..) You'll see it with time..
