Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Secret Room Cracked

"Battle...... Throw one’s weight around? Han Yu was very angry, Zhou Erya usually didn't mention his identity as the son of the overseer, he was always gentle and elegant, and a gentleman was like jade, but this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky was arrogant.

Zhou Erya smiled faintly, stopped the angry Han Yu, and said to Ji Meiyun: "Miss Ji, it's a pity that you didn't have a chance to meet the bullying Zhou. ”

The implication is that Zhou Erya doesn't bother to bully a little girl like her, and there is no need to bully herself.

"Then you give me evidence of murder!" Ji Meiyun pouted at Zhou Erya, her eyes were full of waves, more like being coquettish to him.

"As you wish." Zhou Erya was unmoved, as if she was a bodhisattva who did not touch fireworks, and she couldn't be surprised by the hundreds of colors and charms in the world, so she only said lightly, "Everyone must be very puzzled, although a soft and weak woman like you, although she has a fierce personality, how can she easily do it when you really say killing?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Erya looked around at everyone with a scrutinizing gaze, and said word by word in a judgmental tone: "You, everyone is guilty. It is the evil in your heart that makes a life die. ”

Everyone didn't dare to come out, they all had their own thoughts, their expressions were very empty, and they could only endure silently in the face of such accusations.

Because Zhou Erya is right, in this murder, no one is completely innocent.

Zhou Erya nodded to Han Yu and continued:

"First of all, let Ah Yu show the secret room mechanism that killed Miss Li Baozhu, this is the first suspicion in this case."

Li Baozhu died in his dressing room, the door locked.

If she hadn't hanged herself, it would mean that someone had designed a mechanism to strangle her to death, and then took it away through the crack in the door.

To be honest, making this machine is not too difficult in the professional field, but it has far exceeded Ji Meiyun's knowledge level.

Han Yu stepped forward and said to everyone, "Wait a minute, I've already done the mechanism and brought it over." ”

Although it can be done more perfectly, it completely replicates the murder scene, but today the jewelry, gold and silver were stolen, and Zhou Erya wanted to come to the Peace Hotel to solve the case, so Han Yu had to come over with the appearance he had made now.

He pushed a small cart into the door, and on top of it lay a heavy machine, covered with black velvet, under which a long, thick wire lasso was exposed.

As soon as Zhong Qing saw the lasso, his already bleak expression turned even paler.

When he saw the flannel lifted, revealing the transmission rod and rocker with large and small gears, he trembled like a pendulum, and his expression of horror was as if he had seen hell.

Of course, this is not the instrument that killed Li Baozhu, it is just a copy made by Han Yu.

But...... How similar the principles are!

"It's not hard to say."

Han Yu complicated the problem at first.

He always wanted to design a perfect machine to solve all the problems, but in reality such a device did not exist, and he wanted to completely manipulate the soft rope lasso to capture Li Baozhu's neck about three meters apart from the door, and then retract the embedded wire after strangulation.

It must also be small or easy to assemble to keep people out......

- The complexity of this machine is staggering.

However, he later discovered that it didn't need to be that complicated. Because a lot of work doesn't necessarily need to be done mechanically.

β€” but the human heart.

When Zhou Erya lifted the layers of veils and made the ugliness in the darkness undetectable, Han Yu understood that in fact, this secret room mechanism did not need to be too complicated.

"What I've been thinking about before is Li Baozhu who is in a sober state. Later, I thought that Li Baozhu, who the murderer was going to deal with, may not have been so sober at that time. ”

He began to shake the handle, and the wire at the far end tightened abruptly, making a clicking sound, and the diameter of the wide ring of wire at the other end narrowed by half at once.

Airplanes!

The wire ring made a concussive sound and tightened abruptly.

Everyone was stunned, even if they hadn't seen anyone at the scene, they couldn't help but think of Li Baozhu who was strangled in the secret room, and their hearts were cold.

After about a minute of tightening, Han Yu looked around, bent down, broke the crank to the other side, shook it in reverse, the middle of the ring was disconnected, and the wire was completely retracted with a whoosh.

"I completely follow the distance between the dressing room, and the length of the reserved wire, about the total length is about seven meters."

Han Yu skillfully demonstrated, refastened the ring, and then shook the handlebar, recreating the purpose of a killing mechanism.

"You're still not right." Boss Jin came back to his senses first, gritted his teeth, and retorted, "You mean to say that the other party first put this ring around Li Baozhu's neck, and then left the dressing room and killed Li Baozhu outside the door?" But don't forget, the powder room door is locked......"

"That's right." Han Yu nodded, "The door of the dressing room is locked, so of course it is impossible for the murderer to operate indoors, but to arrange the mechanism in advance, thread the wire into the rope loop, and do it outdoors, and put it on Li Baozhu's neck." ”

He shook the device from side to side, and sure enough, the wire ring at the far end began to shake and flip, fluttering on the ground like a writhing viper.

Ji Meiyun grew her mouth, then turned her head, and seemed to snort silently, no longer looking at the wire.

Zhong Qing also gritted his teeth and turned his head to look at the fan in Zhou Erya's hand.

"This can only be twisted on the ground, but the human head and neck are much higher than this, how can it be enough? Is this machine not done well? ”

James asked curiously.

He had the news of the loss of his relics, at least he didn't have to worry about carrying the black cauldron, and at this moment he felt that he had put down a big stone in his heart, and looking at the panicked people, he inevitably had a sense of superiority, and he was a lot more relaxed.

"It's not." Han Yu shook his head, "If you want to be able to lasso in the air, this accuracy and operation requirements are too high." In fact, there is no need at all, because what this noose has to be tied up is only Li Baozhu who fell to the ground. ”

"Down?"

Everyone looked at each other, only Zhong Qing was even more embarrassed, with cold sweat on his forehead, unable to say a word.

Zhou Erya knew that she could rest a little, so she whispered a few words to Adjutant Cai and asked him to order some more desserts and send them in.

Han Yu's gaze turned to Zhong Qing and spread his hands: "Everyone should be able to see that among several suspects, only Young Master Zhong Qing Zhong can make this machine." Although he is a gentleman, he is a young man in the watch industry after all, and he has been learning to repair clocks and watches with his father since he was a child, and he has a superficial understanding of the use of gears and machinery......

Everyone suddenly realized that this long-range lasso is not too complicated machinery, but to make it yourself, at least you must understand the simple mechanical principle, and have enough materials and tools in hand.

Indeed, among so many people, only Zhong Qing can do it.

Zhong Qing didn't argue, just sat on the chair blankly, as if he had seen a ghost.

How can these people do it?

Even the machinery made by himself can be reproduced almost perfectly-Mingming...... It should have been demolished a long time ago!

"As for Zhong Qing's original murder plan, let's let Brother Zhou tell me?"

Han Yu turned sideways and continued to leave the stage to Zhou Erya.

Because although he knows the principle, the details can never be as detailed as Zhou Erya's.

Zhou Erya was waiting for her dessert and didn't want to say more: "Now, you can guess the beginning and the end, just tell them." ”

But Han Yu shook his head stubbornly, feeling that what he said was the most perfect: "You were the first to discover the truth, it's up to you to tell it." ”

It was precisely because of his lack of ideas at the beginning that he couldn't do it, but thanks to Zhou Erya's reminder, now after listening to him tell everyone's motives, the truth is even clearer.

"Well, if I'm right, here's the truth." Zhou Erya glanced at Zhong Qing and said, "Actually, Young Master Zhong's plan is very simple, Li Baozhu has the habit of taking a nap, and there are few people in Paramount during the lunch break, as long as she is drugged in her flower tea, it is easy for her to faint in the dressing room alone. If he moves fast enough, no one will notice him. ”

Boss Jin was shocked, and his face was surprised: "This method is completely feasible, isn't it Zhong Qing who did it?" ”

Zhou Erya shook his head and shook his fan: "If it is a person with strong execution, of course he has the ability to kill Li Baozhu independently." It's a pity that this Young Master Zhong has no courage to come, and secondly, he is rough in his work, and he wants to kill people alone, so he has nothing to do except make this machine hidden in the utility room. ”

These words can be regarded as clearing up Zhong Qing and proving his innocence, but Zhong Qing only felt that his face was hot, and he almost buried his head in his chest.

If it weren't for the fact that he really wanted to know the truth, and he was still in a place of suspicion and couldn't leave, and it was Zhou Erya standing opposite, I'm afraid Zhong Qing would have brushed his sleeves away.

He felt that he had been most insulted.

Li Baozhu played with his feelings and brought him a green hat, he wanted to kill and take revenge, but in the end he didn't dare and couldn't do it.

- He's not a murderer, he's just a cowardly and incompetent man.

"So, it was Zhong Qing who built the killing machine?" James was curious and kept asking, "So, who used this killing machine?" Be...... This young lady? ”

His gaze turned to Boss Jin's red-card dancer, Ji Meiyun shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and wanted to deny it: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence......

"Yes, there is no evidence, so it would be too abrupt to ask." Boss Jin was still speaking for his cash cow at this time.

"There's no need to rush." Zhou Erya looked calm, walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, "Let's investigate first, if Zhong Qing didn't do it, then who drugged Li Baozhu's flower tea and made her faint in the room?" ”

Boss Jin was suddenly dumbfounded, he avoided Zhou Erya's gaze in panic and stopped talking.

"Who can easily enter and exit Li Baozhu's dressing room, and easily get the medicine, so that she can drink it without suspicion?" Zhou Erya continued to remind everyone.

"Yes...... It's you? ”

Yin Xiuxiu, who had been watching this ridiculous and terrible murder case without saying anything, looked at Boss Jin in surprise.
