Chapter 405 The Secret Room

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "How did the murderer commit the murder?"

Su Xinghuo asked hurriedly, suddenly waking up to a more important question, "Who is the murderer?"

"Haha."

The answer had already emerged in his mind. Li Ang calmly waved to the receptionist on the ship, gave him a few instructions and asked him to get something.

Then, Li Ang waved his hand and said: "To answer this question, we need to clarify something first.

This puddle of water on the ground next to the bed."

He came to squat next to the water stain and said: "After the ice blade theory was proven to be unfeasible, this water stain became even more suspicious.

Who caused the water damage? Why did it leave water damage?"

"The murderer...to cover up the traces?"

Singer Shi Yajing asked uncertainly.

"That's right."

Li Ang clapped his hands and said, "Before his death, King Si was lying on the bed fixed by the belt. The water bottles and cups were on the table far away. It was obvious that he did not scatter them on the ground for drinking water.

It can only be the murderer trying to cover up his traces.

So, what kind of trace is it?

If the murderer left fingerprints at the scene, he could just wipe them off with a cloth, making the iodine crystallized fingerprints visible and useless.

If the murderer left hair at the scene, he should pick it up and take it away.

If the murderer is injured and bleeding at the scene, he is worried that someone will use his blood to test his blood type and find out his identity. Then he should wrap up the wound and wipe off his own blood on the ground with a rag.

However, what was left at the scene was a pool of water. The blood stains remaining in the water did not come from the murderer's wounds, but from the victim, the heir apparent Xia Yuanjia."

"You mean, the murderer cleaned the murder weapon and left water stains?"

Sikong Qiu, the guard of the Prince's Mansion, squinted his eyes and asked: "But, why?

Since the murderer can come and go without a trace and enter and leave the secret room at will, why can't he take the murder weapon out of the room and clean it up? Or just throw the murder weapon somewhere where no one can find it."

"It's very simple, he can't do it."

Li Ang smiled and said: "Last night was the bonfire festival on the island. Even if there were strong winds and waves, there were still many aboriginals and foreign tourists on the island, sitting on chairs in the house by the light of the fire, watching the Sea Charm, drinking and chatting.

The talisman lights on the ship are bright, and when the murder weapon falls into the sea, it will make noise and be discovered.

What's more, the place where the Sea Charm docks is very close to the shore, so even if the murder weapon is thrown into the sea, it will be easily found.

Therefore, cleaning the blood stains on the murder weapon directly in the room is almost the best solution.

If I guessed correctly, the murderer originally hoped that the plasma gushing from the wound on King Si's neck would soak through the entire bed and drip down along the bedside, turning the water stains into a pool of blood, thus eliminating this flaw.
p>

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that the heir's life would be more luxurious than he thought. The bed sheets and quilt covers were so absorbent that they absorbed all the blood stains.

Let the water content in the water stains be much more than a few streaks of blood.

And this kind of behavior also means that the murderer is not as powerful as we expected."

Li Ang glanced over the faces of Fei Lian, Su Xinghuo and others, and said calmly: "He cannot enter and exit the room at will, and cannot disappear out of thin air. He must wait until the time when everyone from the Sea Charm lands on the island before he can carry out his murder plan.<

/p>

To be precise, he never actually entered the room."

Everyone said in disbelief: "Didn't you really enter the room?"

"How could you kill Yuan Jia without entering the room?"

Su Xinghuo said solemnly: "The alarm symbols in the room were intact, no spiritual fluctuations were detected, the doors and windows were not damaged, and there were no hallucinogenic ingredients in the wine. It is impossible that Yuan Jia was persuaded by the murderer to commit suicide.

Right?"

Li Ang smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed to the top of his head, "Everyone, please see, the only place in the entire secret room that is not sealed is on the ceiling.

That is, the holes of the eight bolts that fixed the bed in Room 3 upstairs to the wooden board."

"Rivet...holes?"

The captain was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "No, I have touched these eight bolts before.

Their nuts are firmly fixed and close to the ceiling.

In the upstairs room, it is impossible to tighten or unscrew the nuts through the wooden floor..."

"No, this is okay."

Before Li Ang finished speaking, the receptionist left and returned with a strange look on his face, holding two things in his hand, which were a set of bolts of the same type used in the VIP area rooms and a pile of mussels placed in an iron basin.

These mussels are the delicacies used by the island's indigenous people to entertain foreign tourists. They are constantly vibrating in the iron basin, making the metal basin clank.

"Trouble."

Li Ang expressed his gratitude to the receptionist verbally, reached out to take the bolt, and showed it to others, "Please see, the nut and screw of this bolt are firmly fixed together and are indestructible.

Without touching the nut, the bolt can be unscrewed through the mussel."

As Li Ang spoke, he took out the most energetic mussel from the iron basin and pressed its shell against the top of the screw of the bolt.

The mussels felt that they were out of the water source and trembled more violently.

The bolts are vibrated and vibrate at high frequencies.

And the nut unexpectedly loosened automatically, rotated, and moved toward the end of the screw.

Under everyone's incredulous gaze, with a snap, the hexagonal nut fell out from the end of the screw and hit the ground.

"The high-frequency vibration of the mussel is transmitted to the bolt, causing the nut and screw to vibrate at the same time.

The friction force that originally fixed the two was reduced. Finally, the nut broke away from the screw."

Li Ang said: "After the nut falls out, you can pull out the screw.

In this way, there will be a hole between the room upstairs and the room downstairs to pass through.

This is the first part of the Chamber of Secrets."

He silently added in his mind that if he had an electric toothbrush on hand, he wouldn't even need the alien mussel. He could just press the electric toothbrush on the surface of the bolt and the bolt would vibrate and separate.

Talisman Master Dai Xu's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously said: "Wait a minute, are you saying that Chen Qiwei, who lives in Room 3 upstairs, is the murderer?"

Chen Qiwei, like him, also worked on the ship. The two had known each other for several years, and the other party had no enmity with Xia Yuanjia. How could he kill him?

Before Li Ang could answer, Fei Lian squinted his eyes and asked, "Isn't that right? Even if you do this, you can loosen the bolts and create a hole in the two rooms.

But when we entered the room during the day, all eight bolts were firmly fixed on the ceiling, and there were no missing nuts.

Could it be that the murderer upstairs unscrewed the nut through the wooden board?

Did you tighten the nut again across the board?"
