"Of course I want to ask for help, do you know the theory of boiling frogs in warm water? By the time I felt it, it was too late. I've fainted. "There are a lot of strange things going on in the sauna, the doors won't open anyway, the outside world can't hear the inside at all, as if you're in a foreign land. But there is no way to mention this situation for more ordinary people, and even if it is said, it will only attract a burst of distrustful laughter.

The reporter jotted down my words in his notebook: "Well, well, so you basically don't know how the girl died?" ”

"Not bad." I nodded.

"Well, thanks." He folded his notebook and prepared to leave.

"Hey, you seem to have forgotten something!" I shouted.

"Oh, yes. Give you money. The reporter took out his wallet, took out a hundred yuan with two fingers, and handed it to me.

"It's not about asking for money, I just want you to answer a question for me." I took the money.

"What's the problem? I don't dare answer anything that goes too deep. Sure enough, he was worthy of being a reporter, and immediately limited the scope of his answer.

"That girl named Xia Xue is friends with the two girls who spontaneously combusted in the small dance hall and died suddenly on the pedestrian street, right?" I asked slowly.

Qiu Mu was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”

"Guess."

"How could you have guessed." He was clearly unconvinced.

"Then you should be my instincts." I asked nonchalantly, "Did the three of them participate in any weird activities together?" ”

Qiu Mu looked at me deeply for almost half a minute, and finally replied hesitantly, "I don't know." ”

Definitely a lie! Li Nuoyi and I looked at each other, and we both read the answer from each other's eyes.

"Okay, I'm busy with the return to the club. This kid, you're a little bit uneasy. After experiencing such a terrible thing, I didn't need to slow down, and my thinking was very detailed, which was really surprising. If there are any clues in the future, please call me. This guy probably knew that his answer was very perfunctory, so he forced me a business card and left in a hurry.

I looked at his back thoughtfully, then changed my clothes and went to the police station to give a confession. When he came out, he had a cowhide bag in his hand, and there was a thick stack of materials in it.

The stack of materials was given to me by the police officer who was in charge of making the notes, and the situation at that time was very funny. With a puzzled face, he handed me the information marked as classified at the commander's command, and he couldn't figure out why, his eyes were confused.

"Hehe, that handsome little guy who helped you make a note is so cute, I guess he is still guessing your identity." Li Nuoyi laughed as he drove.

This is the benefit of being organized, and through the social energy of the old man Yang Junfei, it is easy to get a lot of information that is difficult to get started.

I turned on the car's reading lights and slowly pulled out the contents.

Inside, there are autopsy reports and death investigations of nearly five people, arranged in chronological order. The most recent one is called Xia Xue, and she is also the girl who calls herself 'the queen of autumn' and has a strange personality. The scene photo was taken in the dry steam room, and her death in the photo was indeed horrible to see, even I was frightened at first sight.

I saw that her body was shriveled up, like a mummy weathered for hundreds of years. Her limbs were like dry branches, and her fingers and toes were burnt in color.

The photographs were taken from several directions, so the entire condition of the corpse could be recorded realistically. The hair of Xia Xue's corpse was sparse and only a few small tufts remained, the water in the whole body had evaporated, the skin was dry and clinging to the flesh and bones, the cloudy eyes were protruding, and the white eyes were frozen with the fear of death. It is very doubtful that she had heard or seen something before she died.

I habitually frowned and read the autopsy report. The report recorded that Xia Xue had no external injuries on the body surface when she died, and suffocation caused by high temperature and humidity was the biggest cause of death. And her internal organs were all steamed.

After a moment of silence, I looked up and asked Li Noyi, "Do you know who found us?" ”

"It's me." She replied, "You should have guessed that the person I asked was Xia Xue." At that time, I went to the changing room to call her with a mobile phone, but no one answered. So I'll go back to the sauna to look for you. When I opened the door, I found two people lying on the floor, and I was very anxious to pull you out, and I didn't care about the situation of the girl opposite. By the time the staff found her, Xia Xue had already died, and the bathhouse immediately called the police. ”

"How long did it take you from leaving to returning to the sauna?" I asked again.

"Five minutes at most!" Her answer was firm.

"Five minutes?" I smiled wryly. Sure enough, it was not normal, it was only five minutes, but it seemed to us inside that we stayed for at least half an hour. I'm afraid this is another supernatural phenomenon!

After thinking about it for a while, I thought of the key part of the matter: "When Xia Xue died, was it the condition of the photo?" ”

"Yes. I took a look and almost threw up. It's terrifying! Li Nuoyi was afraid: "Fortunately, you are only slightly burned and dehydrated, and there is no danger to your life." Otherwise, I don't want to live! ”

"Well, I know you care about me. But there's a question, I don't know if you've thought about it? ”

"What's the problem?" She was stunned.

"Xia Xue, that girl is only less than ten meters away from me, why is the water in her body completely evaporated, and even the internal organs are cooked. And I didn't have any, just a slight burn. I said in a deep voice that I wondered, "This is completely counterintuitive. The steam itself fills every square in a sealed environment according to its horizontal density, like water flowing from a high place to a low place, and only after filling the headspace does it move downwards and then distribute the temperature evenly. Since Xia Xue died tragically, I should never just be in a coma. ”

Li Nuoyi pouted, not very concerned, "Yes, what you said makes a lot of sense." It doesn't matter what he's doing so much, as long as you live well, I'm satisfied. ”

"What did the bath party say?" I asked.

They insisted that the sauna had never been alarmed, and that the technicians had checked it, ruling out the possibility of mechanical obstacles. But if someone dies inside, business will definitely suffer. Of course, the life and death of the baths are not our business. ”

Sure enough, the machinery was fine, and the dry steam room was probably back to normal after we were lifted out. No, I can't figure out if the dry steam room is abnormal. Maybe it's always been normal, but we're not normal.
