Facilitators
Judging from the core temperature of the corpse, the time of Chris's death should have been around two o'clock in the middle of the night last night, and the freshness of the blood stains under his body and the degree of stiffness of the corpse after death also pointed to the same time, and the shape of the blood stains matched the direction of the wound formed by the screwdriver inserted into his body. It is worth noting here that these three indicators corroborate each other, in addition to fully confirming the time of death, it can basically rule out the situation that the body was moved after death. At this time, basically everyone has no alibi that can corroborate each other, after all, it is the time to sleep......"
In Liang Jingmo's room, a young man was talking. Opposite him, Liang Jingmo sat on the chair next to the desk, listening to the report while supporting his chin with his hand, nodding from time to time, looking thoughtful.
On the other side, Princess Jiang Le sat on the edge of Liang Jingmo's bed, her legs elegantly folded, but her hands on her knees were clenched a little nervously. She was also listening to the young man's report, but from time to time she would turn her head to pay attention to Liang Jingmo's expression to see if he had thought of something.
Nominally, as she had just claimed, she had brought the host of the matter to each person's room for a private questioning, and even the maid was left outside the door by her to keep it a secret. Liang Jingmo is the third stop she has walked to at this time, and everything is the same as the two Qin Qu Carlos who walked before. But in fact, this is just to create a reasonable opportunity for her and Liang Jingmo to communicate privately.
She wanted to listen to the other party's opinion, but Liang Jingmo had been listening quietly since just now, without saying anything.
But at this time, when he heard the young man say this, he finally had a reaction.
"What about the 'blood clots' in the body? For example, is there a problem with the location. He asked.
"This aspect has also been confirmed." The other party replied, "If the blood clot is also counted, it can be regarded as the evidence of the Quartet." β
"In this way, the room is indeed the scene of the first crime." Liang Jingmo let out a long breath.
Jiang Le was a little puzzled, "Wait, what do you mean by blood clots just now?" Is there blood under him? β
"Not this, princess." The young man patiently replied, "Blood clots are an important basis for determining the time of death. When blood stops flowing, it concentrates in the lowest part of the body, causing the skin to turn pink or red. The analysis of blood clots helps us understand the way of death, with a focus on paying attention to the location of the blood clot and the state of the body at the time the clot formed. The blood clots on the corpses I saw were in the same position as the prone position we found them, and we can assume that Chris was in this position when he died. β
Jiang Le nodded, "Understood." But there's one more thing I can't understand......"
"I mean the blood under him." Liang Jingmo nodded and snatched her words, "Yes, I'm also interested in this." Judging by the size of the blood stains, this is not enough to bleed profusely, so Chris obviously did not die of blood loss. β
The young man nodded, "Yes." β
"And what about the real cause of death?"
"I'm afraid it's 'poison'."
The young man said as he pulled out a test report. There are no special analytical instruments on the ship, and after this report, the young man has written a handwritten record after testing and comparing them one by one, which is densely packed with the name of the project and the proportion of the weight, which is dazzling, and the layman will feel dizzy for a few seconds.
Liang Jingmo took a look. He could understand most of the items above, but he still needed to calculate and combine them in his head, and he couldn't see the mystery for a while. On the contrary, Princess Jiang Le's face changed the moment she saw the page, and her brows were tightly furrowed.
"Is this 'h986'?"
"Yes. Worthy of ...... Princess. β
The young man glanced at Jiang Le with some hesitation, and then continued, "To be precise, this is a highly purified version of 'H986', and the effect is probably more than ten or even dozens of times stronger than that circulating on the market, and the reaction will be very intense. And it itself has a high lethality rate, and now it has been highly purified, and it enters the body directly from the blood, so it is conceivable that it will die. β
"What a logical statement." Liang Jingmo interjected, "Can you find someone to tell me now, what the hell is this 'h986'?" β
The young man glanced at Princess Jiang Le and was about to answer, but he didn't want the latter to wave his hand, and asked directly, "Have you ever heard of a drug nicknamed 'Demon Heart'?" β
Liang Jingmo's brows furrowed slightly, and he shook his head.
Jiang Le shrugged, "Don't bother with the details, it's enough for you to know that this is a drug." In some ways, the drug is as potent as the strongest stimulants...... No, it's much stronger than doping. In a short period of time after ingestion of 'H986', a person's heart rate is raised to an alarming level so that blood can flow to the brain and all parts of the body. This will give a strong feeling of energy and pleasure. Among them, it particularly strengthens sensory perception, which can theoretically make people's auditory vision become several times stronger than usual, this unprecedented sense of control over the surrounding world can simply make people have an illusion similar to 'god' in an instant, and their thinking and association abilities are greatly improved, but they will become paranoid, almost to the point where they are convinced of no doubt at the turn of their minds, which is simply crazy. Gods don't go crazy, only demons doβthat's where its nickname comes from. β
She goes on to explain, "Moreover, there is a time limit to this tremendous increase in ability. The short euphoria is followed by a slowdown in the heart rate and facial failure of the body's functions. If you use a large amount, you can't even lift a finger at this stage. Some people say that drugs are 'addicted to death', and this 'devil's heart' undoubtedly perfectly interprets this sentence......"
She stopped suddenly and glanced at Liang Jingmo, "It seems that you actually know this thing." β
Liang Jingmo smiled bitterly and nodded. Of course he knows this. The reputation of the drug "Demon Heart" in the underground world in recent years can be described as quite loud, and the limelight has even surpassed those old brands, which can be called a rising star in the drug industry. However, due to the difficulty of refining and harsh transportation conditions, it is also known as the most delicate "princess" in drugs, and although it has a great reputation, few people can actually see it. In most areas, it is basically in a state of priceless and no market.
The "H986" that killed Chris is the legendary "Demon Heart"? This was not really a big deal, but he was surprised to remember that the drug was in many areas monopolized by a powerful tycoon because of the difficulty of refining and transporting it. If he remembered correctly, the drug smuggling routes from Xifeng to Tianjing City in this large area should have been under the control of one person, and that person, he had seen in Xifeng's prison......
"Yes, the person who originally controlled the smuggling route was Luo Baichuan." Princess Jiang Le seemed to see through what he was thinking of at this time, nodded and explained without mind, "I also did this when I was under him, so I immediately remembered it as soon as I saw the data. β
Liang Jingmo frowned slightly, "However, since Luo Baichuan entered the prison, although the organization under his command has not fallen apart, it has basically stopped operating, in this case, this line can be regarded as broken, right?" β
"That's true." Jiang Le nodded, "As far as I know, Luo Baichuan didn't have an accident, but took the initiative to enter the prison, and before that, he had already arranged the operation of the organization in advance to ensure that he would not fall into civil strife because of his departure." But even with his control, he can only achieve the level of 'no internal strife', and it will be difficult for some strong people to continue to operate normally in the event of his absence. The 'H986' transportation line has very high requirements for time and temperature, and no mistake can be made in the middle of a link. β
Liang Jingmo nodded, "The people on this ship are either from Xifeng or from Tianjing, in other words, the 'demon heart' that killed Chris was either smuggled by the murderer from further afield, or it was obtained before Luo Baichuan's accident and has been preserved to this day...... Personally, I'm more inclined to the latter, so do you have any clue? β
"I'm not sure." Jiang Le shook his head, "Although I did this when I was under Luo Baichuan, I am not the person in charge, and many things are also secrets to me. What's more, I was imprisoned at the same time as him, and although the smuggling lines had stopped, there was still a little stock left in the organization. Not much, but more than enough to poison a few people. β
"In other words, it's unlikely that the murderer will be investigated through this thing." Liang Jingmo shrugged, "In this case, the problem in front of us now is a bit tricky." β
He turned to the young presenter, "If, as you said at the beginning, the windows in the room are closed and locked, there are no people hiding in the room, no secret passages or dark rooms have been found, and the door is indeed locked before it is forcibly broken...... In that case, isn't it a closed secret room! β
"That's right." The young man nodded helplessly, "I have searched several times, just to confirm the above key points." For the time being, the scene of the crime is really a secret room, and if there is a murderer, I don't know how he disappeared. β
Jiang Le frowned, "You mean, Chris locked the door by himself, and then stabbed himself in the stomach with a screwdriver coated with high-purity 'H986'?" β
"I know it's unreasonable." The young man replied lightly, "But according to the current situation, it seems that this is the only possibility." Of course, after the surveillance system is cracked, we will be able to see the video in the corridor, maybe we can get important clues from it, and even directly see the truth at that time. But the password set by Senderos is very complex, and although Bru and they have dealt with it, it is estimated that it will not be completed for a while. β
"At that time, I should have set out the password first." Jiang Le sighed, "I'm still not thinking about it. β
Liang Jingmo thought for a while, but asked the young man again, "I want to confirm one thing with you first." He said, "In your opinion, with the ability of the host, there is a way to open the anti-lock door without leaving a trace?" β
He had seen the blind host's ability to break down the door with his bare hands, and he had seen it himself, and agreed that there was no other way but violent destruction. But what if there was a way he didn't know? For example, relying on the support of some special tools to host people's various skills, is it possible to open the door?
Liang Jingmo looked at the other party, waiting for an answer from the other side. The young man, however, only gave him a strange look.
"Let's not say whether my answer is authoritative or not. Before I answer that question, I have a question for you. β
He said lightly, "Why would you choose to believe me? β
