Chapter 403 Mechanism

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Even if Chen Qiwei didn't say it, the captain and the others would do it.

I asked around the aborigines and passengers who stayed on the island last night. Many people were awake last night, and no one saw anyone hanging from the deck by ropes, or a murder weapon thrown out of the window.

The case once again reached a deadlock, and everyone returned to Room 9 to reorganize the clues.

"So, the current result is that Su Xinghuo, who left the room last, is still the most suspicious."

Fei Lian said: "No one has entered or left Room No. 9 after the time of Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening)."

"If Su Xinghuo is the murderer, how did he solve the problem that the heir died at the right time (two o'clock in the morning)?"

Singer Shi Yajing frowned and said: "The time doesn't match."

"This is not simple."

Fei Lian curled his lips and said: "He is a doctor and a trusted friend of Xia Yuanjia. Maybe Xia Yuanjia was already drunk and unconscious at that time.

Su Xinghuo took advantage of this opportunity and first took off the alarm talismans in the house that were about to expire. He placed the unconscious Xia Yuanjia on the bed, arranged the scene, and set up the timer.

Then put alarm talismans everywhere in the room, stick half of the alarm talisman on the door frame, and leave the room calmly to form a secret room.

And that timer is just an ice cube."

Feilian walked to the water stains on the ground, pointed at the ground and ceiling, and said: "He first took out two pieces of ice from the freezer and wrapped a thin string around the outside of one piece.

Then use something like a doctor's scalpel that you carry with you to cut another piece of ice into the shape of a guillotine, and tie the other end of the thin string.

The big ice cube was placed on the ground, the thin wire was hung in the air, passed around the nut of the bolt, and the icy guillotine was hung above Xia Yuanjia's neck.

Because Xia Yuanjia is already asleep and the quilt is tied with a drawstring, it will not move at night.

At the ugly moment, the big ice cube melted and the rope could no longer be fixed, and the thin line was pulled away.

The icy guillotine fell down and cut off Xia Yuanjia's neck on the bed. He turned to the left, fell out of the bed, and smashed the clock dial."

Fei Lian snapped his fingers and grinned: "Su Xinghuo has probably practiced many times beforehand and knows the melting rate of ice cubes.

I deliberately set aside a lot of time for myself."

"Wait."

After being briefly shocked, Su Xinghuo also reacted and retorted: "There are many loopholes in this speculation, isn't it? If there really was the mechanism you mentioned, the big ice cube would have almost melted,

How could the ice blade not melt?

Without the sharp blade, can you still cut the neck cleanly?"

"Just let the two pieces of ice melt at different speeds."

Feilian said: "For example, add salt to the ice cubes on the ground to speed up its melting speed.

Or lower the temperature in the room and let the wind charm blow against the ice blade to quickly blow away the melted moisture on it and slow down its melting speed, making it melt slower than the ice on the ground to maintain the sharpness.

These are completely achievable in theory."

Su Xinghuo couldn't think of a word to retaliate for a while, and was stunned in place, not knowing what to say.

"Meow."

His black cat stood in the aisle and couldn't help barking when he saw the scene in front of him.

Fei Lian seemed to be an arrogant and domineering noble boy, but he didn't expect that he would kill Su Xinghuo as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The question is, where's the thread?"

Li Ang coughed lightly and asked: "The skate mechanism is theoretically possible, but how to recycle the thin wire?"

Fei Lian sneered and said: "This is not simple..."

"You want to say, extend the length of the cord and go around the door, right?"

Li Ang interrupted in advance, "For example, use a three-foot-long or longer thin wire.

He only used a small section of the ice blade mechanism, and the remaining thin wire was taken out of the room by Su Xinghuo, wrapped around the door frame from underneath the door, and brought to his own room.

Su Xinghuo didn't sleep last night, but watched the movement of the thin thread.

Once the thin thread in his hand begins to shrink, he knows the mechanism has been triggered.

After the ice knife cut off the king's neck, he retracted the thin line and destroyed the traces.

Am I right?"

This time it was Fei Lian's turn to be speechless. What Li Ang said happened to be his guess.

"Then let's try it out."

Li Ang smiled slightly and said, "Dr. Su, you should be wearing surgical threads, right?"

"Bring it with you."

Su Xinghuo nodded and took out a few bundles of surgical threads from the medicine box.

Li Ang selected the bundle with the smallest diameter, placed the surgical thread on the ground in front of everyone, spread it under the door of Room 9, and spread it all the way to Room 11.

Then he closed the door and pulled the surgical thread hard, but failed.

He shouted again and asked the people at the door to pull the surgical thread, but they also failed.

The door of Room 9 opened, and Li Ang explained: "This door is very thick and closes tightly. Even the thinnest surgical thread cannot be pulled out."

"Could it be that the door was not closed last night?"

Sikong Ji, the guard of the Prince's Palace, said: "It's also a skate mechanism. The thin wire doesn't go around the door, but wraps around the door handle.

Before Su Xinghuo left Room 9, he only closed the door, but did not actually close it.

When the mechanism took effect, he pulled away the thin wire and closed the door at the end of the thin wire to form a secret room..."

Sikong Ji paused as he spoke. He also realized that there was a problem here. Once the door was closed, the thin wire would be tightly clamped. It was difficult to completely pull away the thin wire without leaving any flaws.

Close the door tightly.

"Maybe..."

Li Ang looked around the room, thinking about the possibility of the murderer achieving his murderous means.

He pondered, walked up to the clock, looked carefully, and suddenly saw a talisman lamp without a glass cover above the cabinet clock.

Wait, talisman?

Li Ang's eyes lit up, and he turned to ask Dai Xu, the Talisman Master on the Sea Charm: "Dai Xu, Talisman Master, why is there no glass cover on the outside of this talisman lamp?"

"Oh this."

Dai Xu said naturally: "Because the King Si doesn't like it. He thinks that a hollow glass ball is placed outside the charm plate, and the glass sphere is larger than the charm plate, which looks really unsightly.

In fact, the function of the glass cover of the talisman lamp is mainly to protect the talisman board from rust and prevent the talisman board from overheating and burning the furniture.

The talisman lamp in King Si's room is of the highest grade and will not cause overheating, so there is no need for a glass cover."

"Is it possible that the murderer used the talisman board to commit the crime?"
