Chapter 92: Ice Reasoning

"Are you making shaved ice?" Bailey asked Eric with a glare, pointing to the freshly carved hole in the ice.

"Well, you can understand that, too. Eric argued, "You can take it as a good thing that I prefer your town's cold drinks, and you should welcome us as warmly as the rest of the town." ”

"Fart. Bailey poked Eric on the shoulder and sneered, "Detective boy, I'm not going to be as blindly enthusiastic as the other residents, you know?

"It seems that there is still a sober person in this town. Eric and Caitlyn looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"Well, Grand Officer Bailey, let's make a deal. Eric threw out an "olive branch".

"Oh, I don't make deals with assholes. Remember, I'm a police officer!" Bailey didn't buy Erik's account at all.

"But, Grand Officer Bailey, don't you want to know what we're doing?" Caitlyn stepped forward.

"I don't have to trade, I know, don't forget, you're on my turf right now. Bailey smiled smugly, as if he had won the battle.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the victory was exchanged for an unexpected experience for Bailey. Caitlin suddenly stretched out her right hand and grabbed Bailey's shoulder, and when she squeezed it, Bailey immediately bared her teeth in pain, and half of her body bent down in pain.

"You, you're attacking the police!" Bailey gritted his teeth and pulled out the gun on his waist, but before his hand could touch his waist, Caitlin's left hand had quickly swept over Bailey's waist, and in the blink of an eye, Bailey's pistol was already in her hand.

Caitlyn expertly unloaded the magazine, and the bullets tinkled on the ice. Bailey watched himself being easily toyed with by a woman, and he was immediately ashamed and annoyed.

"My instincts are right, you two, no, none of you are good people. Bailey's eyes reddened.

"Quite the opposite. Eric motioned for Caitlin to release Bailey, "We are the saviors of your town. ”

"Savior? And as soon as you came, the Thomas family was slaughtered. Bailey rubbed his shoulders and asked, "I suspect now, maybe you are the murderers of Thomas's family!"

"Bailey, you should know better than we do. Eric laughed.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Bailey's eyes drifted to one side.

"I remember you saying that there had never been a murder in the town before we came, before the Thomas family was murdered. Eric repeated.

"No, that's not wrong. Bailey took a deep breath.

"So, what's the matter with Miffy's child? You picked up his child out of the water. At this point, Eric was already anti-guest.

"Well, that's an accident! Miffy's child was a complete accident, not a murder! And Mayor Soros has already clarified that it's global warming!" Bailey's voice gradually lowered.

"Can you believe it!" Eric kicked the ice, "If you believe it, you didn't hesitate to come over when I beckoned to you just now, aren't you afraid that global warming will put your next step into an ice hole?"

"Y-what proof do you have that Miffy's child was murdered, and who would kill a nine-and-a-half-year-old child?" Bailey argued.

"Come down with me, I'll show you the evidence of the murder now!" said Eric, who voluntarily landed on the ice.

"I'm not going to be an idiot like you. Bailey turned his head with a look of disdain. But Caitlyn didn't let him go. She kicked Pele into the knee socket, and Pele fell on the ice with a thud.

"See that piece of impurity in the middle of that ice?" said Eric, using his flashlight, illuminating the ice 40 miles below the ice.

"It was a fragment of a leaf, a dwarf birch leaf endemic to alpine regions. Bailey turned his head and didn't look at it, but Eric explained with great interest.

"Look at the ice a little bit below, it's the leaves of the alpine alder bushes. Eric upside down his flashlight to let the light shine deeper into the ice, "and then a little deeper, the leaves of dwarf birch and alpine alder bushes appeared at the same time. ”

"What do you want to explain?" Bailey didn't know when, he was already glaring at the cut of the ice mouth.

"Didn't you notice?" said Eric as he stood up and pointed to the northwest of the glacier, "The glacier runs northeast-southwest, with a grove of dwarf birch trees on the northwest bank and an alpine alder grove on the southeast bank. As he spoke, Eric pointed to the southeast side of the glacier.

"What does that mean?" asked Bailey, as if he didn't understand.

"The trees grow on the banks, and the wind blows the leaves onto the river, and according to the principle of air convection, the same river can only have one direction, and it is impossible for a northwesterly wind to blow at the same time a southeasterly wind that is completely opposite to the northwest. Therefore, the top layer should have a northwest wind when it appears, the middle ice layer should have a southeast wind when it appears, and the bottom ice layer should have two kinds of leaves because the ice layer has collapsed, and the leaves of the middle ice layer are dissolved and fall to the bottom of the ice. Moreover, the three ice layers are interlaced with dwarf birch leaves and alpine alder trees, so these three ice layers should not have formed at the same time. Caitlin had understood what Eric meant.

"If you Mayor Soros say that global warming is causing the ice to break, then there will only be two types of ice at most, either all birch leaf ice, or birch leaf ice at the bottom, and the second layer is alpine alder leaf ice. There will never be such a stratification as it is now. Eric continued.

"Then why are there three different types of ice here? Bailey asked without confidence.

"It's very simple, someone thinned this ice layer in advance, estimated to be about 3 centimeters thin, so the bottom glacier still retains the initial birch leaf ice, but what the man didn't expect was that he had just thinned the ice, the northwest wind turned into a southeast wind, and the alpine alder leaves were blown here, and after seven or eight hours of snow and snow freezing, an intermediate ice layer about 5 centimeters thick was formed, and Miffy's child walked into the middle ice, and the ice broke, and the alpine alder leaves in the middle layer fell to the bottom birch leaf ice, so the phenomenon of two kinds of leaves appearing at the same time。 After you pick up the child, after the lowest layer of ice is frozen, a southeast wind blows, and the alpine alder leaves blow here, and then the new snow is all frozen, forming the middle layer. Then the birch leaves brought by the northwest wind sealed the last layer. Eric used the wind direction and foliage to reconstruct the formation of these three ice formations.

Bailey listened dumbfounded to Eric's reasoning, and finally stammered, "Really, really not global warming?"
