"You'd better tell the truth."

In the interrogation room of the Homicide Section, the knight stood at the table with his hands supporting his body, and at the same time, he had the expression of a black man's eyes wide after being angry, and he was extremely fierce.

Julianne sat next to the knight, and Ted was across from them.

It was a difficult interrogation, and they felt that they were interrogating a foreigner who did not speak the same language, but the foreigner spoke English......

……

About two hours ago, a police call slipped a case into the Homicide Section of the Los Angeles Police Department, and the caller, who was a taxi driver, said: "This lady got into the car and felt that the seat of the car was hot, and then her whole body was wrapped in flames, and the blue flames began to burn rapidly in the car. Seeing this scene, I chose to call the police, but after calling the police...... By the time I dared to take a look around the window, the woman had turned into a pile of ashes and two feet! ”

Julianne had dealt with Adam in a homicide case caused by arson, and she knew that a normal fire scene would not be able to burn a body to ashes, so she immediately notified the fire department, and when the fire department's experts arrived, the knight and Julianne got an almost crazy answer!

This is a case of spontaneous combustion caused by no ignition source!

Spontaneous combustion??!!

That is, not murder?

Before Julianne could define the case, the taxi driver immediately gave a new clue, that is, the woman had been in contact with a man, and the man also wore a suit over the woman. The reason why he remembered these things was because the man was so weird that he couldn't be forgotten, and no one would mention topics such as roast pigs, temperature, and human nature when dating a woman. Right. That man definitely said that the human body spontaneously combusted!

Hear this. Julianne seems to have a direction, could it be that this is a fire caused by the use of chemical elements?

After asking the experts of the Fire Department and all the colleagues of the Forensic Bureau to re-investigate the scene, she drove to the 'first crime scene' with the taxi driver, and didn't the taxi driver say that the suit that the other party was wearing on Amanda fell to the ground? If this was a chemical fire, then there must have been a residue of chemical congestion on the ground, even a little bit to qualify the case.

What they didn't expect happened again after they returned to the 'crime scene'. They saw a man sitting there playing with seashells on the reef by the sea, and the sharp-eyed driver recognized him at a glance: "It's him, it's him who put his clothes on that woman!" ”

"Hands up and lying there!" Julianne got out of the car and took out a gun and shouted at the beach, she didn't expect this case to be solved so smoothly, if she caught the murderer directly, and went to check the suit that might be the murder weapon when the other party did not destroy the evidence, then this case, hasn't it been solved?

"SIR, IS IT ILLEGAL FOR A MAN WHO HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED FROM PRISON TO LOOK AT THE STARS BY THE SEA?"

The man lay down on a huge reef without the slightest resistance, and added, "SIR." I had a shell in my hand, not a gun. Do you think I'm better to throw it away now, or just grab it? I don't want you to pull the trigger for a dangerous move, and I know you can shoot if you think your safety is at stake. ”

This criminal is too calm, isn't he?

Julianne had been thinking about Ted all the way back, and her mind had never stopped, she had never seen such a calm criminal.

After returning to the place where the fire occurred, Julianne handed over the scene to the experts of the Forensic Bureau and the Fire Department, and she and the knight took Ted and the taxi driver to the Homicide Bureau for interrogation, before the interrogation, they checked each other's files a little, and when Ted's record of six years in prison and not being released on parole appeared on the computer screen, Julianne had an inexplicable panic when she took all the initiative.

She didn't tell the knight about the panic, which had preceded Adam's death and was a very bad omen.

"Ted, what's your relationship with Amanda?"

Under the incandescent lights of the interrogation room, Julianne sat with the knight to begin the first round.

"The customer and the dancer, but I haven't had anything to do with it yet, I'm just a man who has just been released from prison, and I'm looking for a place to legally look at a woman who looks at the fart-stock, is there a problem? Or is it that strip-dance-club without a license? Ted's cooperation made the knight who was about to roar unable to get angry, as if he didn't intend to hide anything at all, these things had no need to hide at all, and he could fully grasp them by conducting an on-site investigation.

The knight asked, "Where is it?" Did you talk about anything along the way? ”

After being a policeman for so many years, the knight has his own interrogation ideas, he knows that criminals will hide some key things, all of which are pointed, and some things may not be associated with the case even if they are said, but criminals still won't say, because of fear, they are afraid of 'what if'.

"We talked a lot, mostly in the prison library, where the writer H.P. Lovecraft once said, 'The oldest and strongest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the unknown.'" I saw the unknown in a book in the library that frightened me, and I wanted to discuss it with that beautiful lady. Well, I'm sorry, maybe I've been in prison for so long that I've forgotten how to communicate with women, and maybe that's why she has accompanied me to the beach and refused to accompany me to see the stars. ”

The knight seemed to have caught something: "Be specific!" ”

The knight felt that this Ted had begun to conceal it, otherwise how could he have said it so unclearly.

"Are you sure you want to listen?"

Julianne answered him with a determined gaze.

"Okay."

Ted sat elegantly, without the violence of a murderer, and he explained in a nonchalant tone: "I discussed with the lady about 'spontaneous combustion of the human body,' and I liked the topic as if we knew enough about the structure of the body and the structure of flame formation but still couldn't explain why the human body spontaneously combusted. ”

Julianne and the knight shuddered when they looked at Ted's expression, and watched the attitude of enjoyment that they couldn't extricate themselves from being caught in it!

"You must know the basics of combustion, right? When the combustible substance and oxygen reach a certain temperature, due to the increase in temperature, the movement of oxygen molecules is getting faster and faster, and they collide with carbon, and in the case of this high-speed reaction, the reaction of carbon and oxygen produces carbon monoxide and continuously produces heat, this stage is called 'incomplete burning'. ”

Next, carbon monoxide continues to react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, which further releases heat. When the combustion phase has progressed to this point, this phase can be called 'complete combustion' and the reaction is over. The heat generated during the reaction heats the carbon and the oxygen around it, thus initiating a further reaction, and because of the heat generated during combustion, the combustible material emits a flame, and the flame generated from the solid combustible material is usually high and ......bright."

"This is the formation of flames, but what about the human body? Fat in the human body is an excellent fuel, once the flame ignites the fat, the clothes outside the body will form a kind of 'wick effect', that is, the body fat will not be burned out in the case of the clothes are not burned out, which is the phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body. But the key problem is how to make the human body spontaneously combust without an ignition source. This question has puzzled me for six whole years, and I have spent six years thinking about these ...... in prison."

Syllable!

Julianne slapped the table with a fierce slap and roared angrily, "You---tell me English!" ”

She didn't understand much, what carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide......

"SIR, I MEAN, DIDN'T I GO OUT OF MY WAY TO TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT THESE THINGS AFTER I walked out of the prison gates?" In fact, Ted is saying, "The phenomenon of spontaneous combustion of the human body is a worldwide mystery, and no one can say that this is murder without solving this mystery!" ”

The knight also roared with Julianne's anger, and he was about to suffocate to death: "You'd better tell the truth!" ”

When, when, when.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the interrogation room, and Julianne and the knight looked at each other before getting up and walking out.

They couldn't talk to the guy in front of them who didn't know what material composition was, and they didn't seem to speak the same language.

Outside the door, the experts of the forensic department sighed at the two men who came out of the interrogation room in white coats with the report in their white coats, and said in frustration: "We did our best, and nothing related to chemistry was found on his suit except for the residue of shells." ”

Julianne glared at the knight angrily: "Let go!" ”

"Julian, his mouth can be set on fire by a quick rub, and you decided to let him go?"

"Evidence, we don't have evidence!" (To be continued......)
