Chapter 63: Artificial Ice Coffin
Suspicious about the time of death? In fact, in many strange cases, the murderer will manipulate the time of death in most cases, because in this way, he can create alibi evidence for himself.
And now, the results of the forensic examination are that the time of Tang Tianli's death was around 1 in the morning. And Bai Yiping had many eyewitnesses during this time!
Xu Jiaqi said: "What does Boss Tang mean, doesn't it mean that Bai Yiping has already done it when he sent Tang Tianli back to the room?" Otherwise, there is no way to explain the reason, because according to the hotel monitoring and the description of the hotel waiter, after Bai Yiping sent Tang Tianli back to the room, he came out in less than ten minutes, and after that, no one entered Tang Tianli's room again! Isn't it too difficult to kill someone quietly in ten minutes, and falsify the time doubt. ”
Tang Sen said: "It's not difficult at all, if you know that there is a freezer in Tang Tianli's suite, it seems that the problem will be completely explained." ”
Freezer, bathtub? Murderous plots that have appeared in previous film and television dramas and anime? In an instant, I suddenly understood what Townsend meant!
"Is it so?"
Townsend nodded affirmatively.
I'll it, a hotel waitress actually imitated the plot of some film and television dramas and created this murder! Looking at everyone's confused expressions, of course I understood that everyone wanted to know how Tang Tianli was killed immediately.
So, with a wave of my hand, I took everyone back to Tang Tianli's room.
At the same time, according to the information provided by Tang Minyun, the police investigated the scene for the first time and did not find any objects missing from the room, nor did they find any traces of fighting, nor did they find any signs of other objects moving.
Obviously, from the above statement, it can be seen that Tang Tianli either died unexpectedly, or even if someone wanted to kill him, it was not for money. So, Townsend and I both tend to die unaccidentally, so how did we die?
Townsend had opened the freezer, and at the bottom of the freezer, we could see a mold frame about the size of the freezer. Townsend and I both laughed, helplessly! This murderer can only be Bai Yiping!
"Why did you see the mold frame, the murderer must be Bai Yiping?" Xu Jiaqi blinked her eyes like a baby with curiosity!
Generally speaking, there is no possibility of a mold frame at the bottom of the freezer, because it is not needed and there is no such design. And now, this thing appeared in the freezer in Tang Tianli's private suite, there is only one explanation for this, someone deliberately put it in! And what's the point of putting the mold frame?
In many previous murder cases or bathroom homicide cases, there is a very classic case, which is to use the structure of the bathtub to create an enclosed space. And one of the best ingredients for enclosed spaces is ice!
This mold frame in the freezer in Tang Tianli has a top lid, and if the lid is covered and filled with water, it is easy to make a huge rectangular ice lid.
We can imagine that on the same day, after Tang Tianli was drunk, he was sent back to the suite by Bai Yiping. Because Tang Tianli trusted Bai Yiping very much, it was impossible to have a defensive mentality, and Tang Tianli took everything Bai Yiping did for granted. So, Tang Tianli didn't even know that he was not sent to bed by Bai Yiping, but directly placed in the bathtub.
After Bai Yiping tested that his brain was indeed unclear, she began to carry out her murderous plan. She completely put Tang Tianli's body into the bathtub, and then put in a part of the water. At that time, the water must not have passed through Tang Tianli. Even we can imagine that only half of Tang Tianli's body is in the water. That's enough, though.
Next, she pulled out the huge ice cubes that had been prepared in the freezer and covered them over the tub. Because quenching creates a certain amount of adhesive force, the ice cubes form a certain amount of adhesive force to the edge of the tub.
At this point, the ice cube and the bathtub form a closed body, or rather, it is a frozen ice coffin.
However, Bai Yiping didn't need Tang Tianli to die immediately, because if he died at this time, Bai Yiping would not be able to create time doubts. Therefore, she also opened a small opening at one end of the ice cube, which was just enough to allow air to enter and let Tang Tianli continue to survive.
At the same time, that small opening also has an important role, which is to let the water from the faucet enter the bathtub!
After everything was done, Bai Yiping turned on the faucet, left the room immediately, and never came in again.
When Bai Yiping left, Tang Tianli was indeed not dead. He had been sleeping in the bathtub, and he probably didn't notice anything unusual except for feeling the cold!
The water slowly flowed down the small opening, and after almost an hour, the water in the water tank happened to flood into Tang Tianli. At that time, because Tang Tianli was choked by water, he would immediately form an instinctive behavior of waving his hands and coming out to breathe.
But as we said earlier, because the ice cube and the bathtub have become one and the same. At the same time, the internal surface of the ice cube was extremely smooth, and Tang Tianli couldn't even control it completely with his hands.
And Tang Tianli, who was in a drunken state, was not sober, and he couldn't push the ice away in an orderly manner. You must know that there must be a certain weight of ice cubes that can cover a bathtub, and if you can't use the right force, the right direction, and the force is large enough, it is not only equivalent to wasting your physical strength in vain, but also consuming the few oxygen in it. At the same time, Tang Tianli is more likely to be choked by water when he is drunk and his brain is not clear, the water in the bathtub is constantly rising, and many of his behaviors are uncontrollable, for example, forced breathing, after the water is inhaled into the lungs and trachea, it affects his ability to follow. Tang Tianli was in this unconscious state, because he couldn't push the ice cubes on it, and he was constantly choked by the water, he lost his ability to absorb oxygen, and gradually lost his ability to move, and finally drowned in the bathtub by the water.
And when Tang Tianli died is still unknown. It's just that at least one thing can be known, because after Tang Tianli's death, the ice cube cover actually still exists, and with the ice cubes, it actually forms a shape similar to a cold freezer. In the bathtub, Tang Tianli's body happened to be frozen for a certain period of time, which made the forensic doctor's judgment of the time of death error again. When the medical examiner examined the body, the medical examiner identified it as a normal death, so based on the temperature of the body, the degree of decay and soaking, he speculated that the time of death was at 1 a.m. It's just that he definitely didn't expect that there would be these factors that interfered with his judgment.
Through the above analysis, we can also get two other speculations. For one, the timing of the ice melt can be controlled. This is because the rate at which the ice melts is determined by the temperature of the room. And to determine the temperature, you can have air conditioning control. When Tang Sen and Tang Lin were looking for clues in the room, they almost guessed the truth about the death of the bathtub, so Tang Sen found the remote control of the air conditioner as soon as possible. Sure enough, this air conditioner is more advanced and can be set to change at a regular time. Obviously, according to the speed of the water flow, Bai Yiping calculated that no matter what, by almost eleven o'clock, the water tank must have been full, and Tang Tianli must have died at that time. So, she set it up at the beginning, and before that, the air conditioner was extremely cooled to ensure that the ice did not melt easily. At about 11 o'clock at night, the air conditioner went into warm mode. After the warm air, the indoor temperature rises rapidly and the ice melts faster. until the ice is completely gone. And for about an hour, the room air conditioner automatically stops. However, because the central air conditioning of the whole hotel still exists, the indoor cooling mode continues to start!
In this way, through the control of indoor air conditioning and central air conditioning, Bai Yiping perfectly created evidence of alibi.
"Officer Tang, when your police were looking for clues, didn't you think about how the air conditioner in Tang Tianli's room was turned off?"
In the face of Xu Jiaqi's questioning, Tang Minyun was extremely embarrassed: "Our film police are indeed limited in ability, and sometimes we don't think about it so much, but now that I think about it, we did ignore a lot of things." The air conditioner in the room was indeed turned off, but we didn't think about it! But all the attention is on the bathtub death, and the water! ”
"This can't be blamed on Tang Minyun, the Tangjia Village Police Station basically deals with some simple emergencies between neighbors, and in the face of these strange cases, it is normal for them to ignore many suspicious points. After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and if you really want to deal with these cases, you should need someone from the serious crime team or the special criminal investigation team! ”
Although Tang Sen was explaining to his fellow villagers, Tang Minyun had already felt her shortcomings, and she shook her head and said, "There are still many things I have to learn!" It is indeed our own lack of ability that makes the doubts not completely summarized! After this case is clarified, I will mention to the director that all of us in the firm should strengthen business training! ”
In fact, this pot really doesn't need to be carried by Tang Minyun and the Tangjia Village Police Station. If the above reaction was a little more sensitive, it should have been analyzed by criminal investigation experts a long time ago!
Keep back to the case! When the waiters found Tang Tianli's body at noon the next day, all they saw was Tang Tianli drowning in the bathtub, and the faucet was dripping little by little. Such a terrifying and weird scene made these people have to think of the festival between Jixing and Tang Tianli, so the rumors of Jixing's ghost returning sprung up again.
"I'll go, there is still such a plot!"
Listening to my and Tang Sen's descriptions, Xie Lei was completely stunned. Tang Minyun opened his mouth even more, and he didn't know how to respond to us before and after. Xu Jiaqi was also enlightened, and she remembered that I had shown her such a case before. However, the murderer who operated like this before was a criminal with an extremely high IQ. However, no one would have thought that a hotel waitress could really complete such a manipulation.
Tang Minyun shook his head, sorted out his thoughts, and asked: "For Bai Yiping, it is simply incredible that she can complete such ideas and actions alone, and how are you sure that only Bai Yiping can do this?" ”
