Ask Sword

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

I asked around the aborigines and passengers who stayed on the island last night. Many of them 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 current result is that Su Xinghuo, who was the last to leave the room, is still the most suspected.

Fei Lian said, After Haizheng (ten o'clock in the evening), no one has ever 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.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xinghuo 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 that timing mechanism is ice cubes.

Fei Lian stepped to the edge of the water stain on the ground, pointed to the ground 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.

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 thread.

The big ice cube was placed on the ground, and the thin thread 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 he couldn't move at night.

At the moment of ugliness, 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 how fast the ice cubes will melt.

Deliberately set aside a lot of time for yourself.

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 ice 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 speeds up the melting rate.

Or lower the temperature in the room, and let the wind talisman blow on the skates to quickly blow away the melted water on it, slowing down its melting speed, which melts slower than the ice on the ground, so as to maintain the sharpness.

These are completely achievable in theory.

Su Xinghuo didn't think of words to counterattack for a while, and was stunned in place, not only what to say.

Meow.

His black cat was standing in the aisle, seeing the scene in front of him, he 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.

The question is, where's the thread?

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 go around the door, right?

Li Ang interrupted in advance, For example, use a thin wire that is three feet long or longer.

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, and went around the door frame from the bottom of the door, and brought it into his own room.

Su Xinghuo didn't 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 knife 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 try it out.

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 threads from the medicine box.

Li Ang selected the bundle with the thinnest diameter, and 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 thread, 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?

Sikong Ji, the guard of the Prince's Mansion, said: It's also an ice skate mechanism, the thin wire doesn't go under the door, but gets wrapped around the doorknob.

Before Su Xinghuo left Room No. 9, he just closed the door falsely, without actually closing 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's murder.

He pondered, walked to the front of the clock, observed carefully, and suddenly saw the amulet lamp without a glass cover above the cabinet clock.

Wait, rune lamp?

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.

Dai Xu said naturally: Because the King Si doesn't like it. He thinks that a glass hollow ball is placed outside the talisman plate, and the glass sphere is a circle larger than the talisman plate, 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 lamps in Si Wang'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?
