Chapter 405 Agency
Even if Chen Qiwei didn't say it, the captain and the others would do it.
Asked around the aborigines and passengers who stayed on the island last night. Many people were awake last night. No one saw anyone hanging from the deck by ropes, or a murder weapon thrown out of the window.
The case reached a stalemate again, and everyone returned to Room 9 to sort out the clues again.
"So, the result now is that Su Xinghuo, who was the last to leave the room, is still the most suspected."
Fei Lian said: "After the hour of Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening), no one has entered or left Room No. 9."
"If Su Xinghuo is the murderer, how did he solve the problem that the heir king died at the ugly hour (two o'clock in the morning)?"
Singer Shi Yajing frowned and said, "The time doesn't match."
"It's not easy."
Fei Lian curled his lips and said: "He is a doctor and a friend who has won Xia Yuanjia's trust. Maybe Xia Yuanjia was already drunk and unconscious at that time.
Su Xinghuo took advantage of this opportunity, first took off the alarm talisman that was about to expire when the house was full, put the unconscious Xia Yuanjia on the bed, arranged the scene, and set up the timing mechanism.
Then paste alarm symbols all over the room, stick half of the alarm symbols on the door frame, and leave the room calmly to form a secret room.
And the timing mechanism is ice cubes. "
Fei Lian stepped to the edge of the pool of water on the ground, pointed to the floor and the ceiling, and said, "He first took out two pieces of ice from the freezer, and wrapped a thin thread around one of them.
Use the doctor's scalpel or something 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 thread.
The big ice cube was placed on the ground, and the thin wire was hung in the air, bypassing the nut of the bolt, and hanging the ice guillotine above Xia Yuanjia's neck.
Because Xia Yuanjia was already asleep, and the quilt was wrapped with a belt, so she wouldn't move at night.
At the moment of uglyness, the big ice cube melted, and the rope could no longer be fixed, and the thin thread was pulled away,
The ice guillotine fell in response, cutting off Xia Yuanjia's neck on the bed. And flipped to the left, fell off the bed, and smashed the clock face. "
Fei Lian snapped his fingers and said with a grin: "Su Xinghuo probably practiced it many times in advance and knows the rate at which ice cubes melt.
Deliberately set aside a lot of time for myself. "
"etc."
Su Xinghuo also reacted after being shocked for a short time, and retorted: "There are many loopholes in this guess, isn't it? If there is really the mechanism you mentioned, the big ice cubes will almost melt.
How could the skates not melt?
Without the sharp skates, can you still cut the neck cleanly? "
"Just let the two pieces of ice melt at different rates."
Fei Lian said: "For example, adding salt to ice cubes on the ground accelerates their melting speed.
Or lower the temperature in the room, let the wind talisman blow on the skates, quickly blow away the melted water on it, slow down its melting speed, and melt slower than the ice on the ground to maintain the sharpness.
These are fully achievable in theory. "
Su Xinghuo couldn't think of counterattack words for a while, and was stunned in place, not only what to say.
"Meow."
His black cat stood in the aisle, seeing the scene before him, couldn't help but let out a cry.
Fei Lian looked like an arrogant and domineering noble boy, but he never thought that he would put Su Xinghuo to death as soon as he opened his mouth.
Li Ang coughed lightly, and asked, "The ice skate mechanism is theoretically possible, but how do we recover that thin wire?"
Fei Lian sneered and said, "It's not that simple."
"You mean, the length of the extension cord, to get around the door, right?"
Li Ang interrupted in advance, "For example, use a three-foot or longer thin wire.
It only used a small piece in the ice skate mechanism, and the remaining thin wire was taken out of the room by Su Xinghuo, around the door frame from the bottom of the door, and brought into his own room.
Su Xinghuo did not sleep last night, but observed the movement of the thin thread.
Once the thin thread in his hand began to shrink, he knew the mechanism had been triggered.
After the ice blade cut off the heir king's neck, he retracted the thin thread to destroy the traces.
Am I right? "
This time it was Fei Lian's turn to be speechless, what Li Ang said happened to be his conjecture.
"Then let's experiment."
Li Ang smiled slightly, "Doctor Su, you should be wearing surgical thread, right?"
"Bring it."
Su Xinghuo nodded, and took out a few bundles of surgical wires from the medicine box.
Li Ang selected the bundle with the thinnest diameter, put the surgical thread on the ground in front of everyone, and spread it under the door of Room 9, all the way to Room 11.
Then he closed the door and tugged at the surgical wire, but failed.
He yelled again, asking the people in the door to pull the surgical wire, but also failed.
The door of Room No. 9 opened, and Li Ang explained: "This door is very thick and closed tightly, even the thinnest surgical thread cannot be pulled out."
"Could it be that the door was not closed last night?"
The guard of the Prince's Mansion, Sikong Ji, said: "It's also an ice skate mechanism, the thin wire doesn't go under the door, but wraps around the doorknob.
Before Su Xinghuo left Room No. 9, he only closed the door falsely, but did not actually close the door.
When the mechanism took effect, he pulled out the thin wire, and the end of the thin wire closed the door to form a secret room."
Sikong Ji paused while talking, he also realized that there is a problem here, once the door is closed, the thin wire will be firmly clamped, it is difficult to completely pull out the thin wire without leaving any holes, Close the door tightly.
"Maybe."
Li Ang looked around the room, thinking about the possibility of the murderer realizing the murder method.
He pondered, walked to the front of the clock, observed carefully, and suddenly saw the talisman lamp without a glass cover above the cabinet clock.
Wait, Fu Deng?
Li Ang's eyes lit up, and he turned to ask Dai Xu, the talisman master on the Sea Charm, "Master Dai, why is there no glass cover on this talisman lamp?"
"Oh this one."
Dai Xu said naturally: "Because the King Si doesn't like it. He thinks that a glass hollow ball is covered outside the talisman, and the glass sphere is a circle larger than the talisman, which looks really unattractive.
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 lights in King Siwang's room are of the highest grade, and there is no problem of overheating, so there is no need for a glass cover. "
"Is it possible that the murderer used the talisman board to commit the crime?"
