Chapter 153: The Reasoning Theater of the Red-Eyed 'Ghost God' Act II: Re-entering the Phantom Hell II
Now, Luo Yifan was the only one left in the red room, and he could hear his heart pounding loudly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
No longer needs helpers, no more people to participate in his judgment, Luo Yifan is not a policeman, he does not have so many rules and regulations.
Thinking of the murderer's harm to Xiao Yun, Luo Yifan wanted to retaliate, but he couldn't, because his impulsiveness would ruin his and Xiao Yun's future lives.
If he does what he wants, he just needs to find the murderer and take him to the police station.
But the criminal police don't think like him, and the laws of the country should not be taken lightly. The characterization of a crime relies on sufficient evidence, as well as the testimony of witnesses.
Jiang Xinlong and Lu Huimei saw the sin, but they didn't see the complete process of the sin.
Of the remaining dead, only that person is left to use, and he must find his whereabouts and get what he wants to know.
However, Luo Yifan was not sure whether he knew everything and could prove everything when he thought of the so-called witnesses.
So there is a very crucial step, which is to enter the terrifying phantom chamber again, hoping that there will be time to get what you imagined.
There was one more thing left to do in the red room in front of them, which had caused them to panic at first.
Luo Yifan felt the mask stick tightly to his face, as if there was an extra layer of skin. Sweaty, sticky, his own skin is about to assimilate with him.
But now is not the time to care about that, if the person he imagines is indeed not dead, then this mask can be very useful.
glanced at Wei Guigui's corpse, which was lying on the ground almost like a puddle of flesh. Luo Yifan's heart throbbed for no reason.
In the end, this man paid a terrible price for his greedy, cunning life. Luo Yifan didn't know what he had done in the past? However, there are some things, such as repeated frame-ups, Luo Yifan can still get a glimpse of one or two.
is really easy to be used by others as a popular star.
Sighing and sighing, Luo Yifan quickly bypassed Wei Guigui's corpse and moved the only floor sofa on the ground that was not connected to the wall to the blood-red big bed.
The large bed was pressed against the wall at the edge of the balcony, some distance from the beam where the body had been hung a few days ago.
Luo Yifan shifted the position of the sofa back and forth on the bed, and the dirty sheets on the bed had been torn off by him and thrown to the ground.
It wasn't until he stood firmly on the bed that Luo Yifan stood up.
He wanted to see if he could reach the thick beam on top and climb to it.
Of course, this is not because of the speculation of the two people just now: the first bloody scene in the red room should be an illusion, maybe there is something like projection equipment on the beam of the roof.
Since the murderer was able to transfer the two corpses in the room that might have left evidence, even if there was a projection device on the roof beam, it must have been disassembled and taken away by the murderer.
As for the traces left on the dust, just wipe them with your hands. Wipe all the dust off the entire beam and you won't leave fingerprints or anything.
As for wiping it too clean to arouse suspicion, it is not for the murderer to worry about, anyway, this is not enough evidence, it can only form a vague guess.
So why did Luo Yifan climb on top of the beam?
Because he had to take another path into that bloody phantom chamber.
The passage on the balcony did not need to be entered at all, and the two internal doors must have been blocked.
After the previous secret room suddenly changed shape, Luo Yifan noticed that the change in form might cause the way into the secret room to be blocked.
Before, they entered the secret passage from the balcony, and after pushing the partition, it was divided into two rooms, large and small.
The first to enter is the narrow rectangular room, and then on the far right of the wall separating the small room from the large room, is the small door that leads to the large room.
After the 'Phantom Clone of the Wall Technique' secret room was activated, the wall in the middle (that is, the paper wall guessed by Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong at that time) collapsed, wasn't the door frame missing?
At the time, they could not guess why the door frame, apparently made of wood, had disappeared with the collapse of the wall.
But now, Luo Yifan can already guess its mystery, all he needs is to go back inside to confirm.
The door frame did not disappear or retract into the wall, but returned to the beams of the roof.
In fact, the wooden door frame itself is part of the roof beams.
The chamber was clearly located between the white and red rooms. Depending on the structure of the roof of this house, the main beams must be connected.
The house itself is an old-fashioned timber-framed house, and Lo Yifan knows something about timber construction, where beams are the intermediate support that carries the floor and roof joists.
The beams must be thick and strong, and they must be made of solid wood and run through the entire roof.
So the beams in the chamber and the left and right rooms must be connected. The wooden door frame that connects the two chambers is actually only on the side of the paper wall.
And the door opened from the side of the paper wall to the side of the reflective wall, so they all thought that there were door frames on both sides, which led to a serious error in judgment.
Now that I think about it, the upper door frame is one of the keels that connects the beam, and then a piece of wood connects to the keel and extends straight down at 90° until it touches the ground.
It is not connected to the ground, but is supported entirely by the keel above, on which the surrounding walls are built with cardboard, part of which covers the top 1/3 of the downward extension of the wood.
The remaining 2/3 is the door frame they see, which feels crazy when you think about it, layer upon layer of deception, layer upon layer of concealment, the person who built the house must have spent a lot of energy and physical strength.
The wood that replaced the door frame must have been a living piece of wood, which was held in place by the wall, and if the wall collapsed, the wood instantly bounced horizontally back to the roof and became one with the keel.
This was the first reason why Luo Yifan wanted to try whether the beam could climb into the secret room.
The second reason is the person who spoke above the roof after the 'Phantom Clone of the Wall' chamber appeared.
That secret room, Luo Yifan guessed, should have only a single passage, how to say it? That is, when entering, the passage out is closed.
After the shape of the secret room changed, the entrances and exits also changed, and the original passage was sealed. Then the passage out is opened inside the wall.
Although it is not directly opened, it is still a form of opening.
It may be a bit confusing for me to say this, so let's retell the structure of the time.
The balcony of the red room is located at the northernmost end of the house, and after entering the secret passage, it is equivalent to climbing from north to south.
That is, to climb from the red room to the white room. Narrow passages run beneath the floor of the red room. That is, between the floor of the room on the second floor and the roof of the living room on the first floor.
The compartments around the passage must have been blocked during the construction of the house, leaving only the narrow passage they had passed through.
Once inside, the bottom of the passage is covered by a small loose plank that is not locked or sealed, but can be easily opened with a gentle push.
Then enter a small rectangular room, which should be between the red and white rooms. Through the door of the small room, enter the room behind it with a refrigerator with a bomb.
Now that I think about it, those bombs were also set up to cause panic, and they definitely couldn't be time bombs, but they weren't completely deceiving.
If they do touch the pull-back mechanism set up by the killer, the refrigerator with the alleged bomb will slam into the wall.
Explosions are certain to happen, but it is possible that the package of the suspected bomb is only contained explosives taken from ordinary firecrackers, and this explosives will not damage the entire chamber or even the structure of the house.
However, it will also cause a certain amount of trauma to the people and walls near him, achieving a more frightening and panicked effect.
Of course, this is still Luo Yifan's guess, but he feels that his guess should be correct, just enter the secret room and remove the package to confirm.
Bombs aside, let's move on to the structure of the chamber.
After the 'Phantom Clone of the Walls' chamber was activated, the two rooms merged together. Visually, the small chambers are one section shorter than the larger ones in the east-west direction, but why did the chambers merge into a single square after they were activated?
That's because the short section is not a solid wall, but just a cover like a secret passage, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hidden door like a wall.
Behind the hidden door, there should also be a rectangular compartment.
Here is the secret of the disappearance of his companions other than Jiang Xinglong at that time.
The place where the men had gathered was the space on the east side of the small room, very close to the hidden door.
Why should people who are talking from the beams go out of their way to attract their attention? Maybe it's because he has another companion hiding behind the hidden door in the small room,
At that time, the 'Phantom Clone of the Wall' secret room had just been formed, and the people on the roof were hidden in the dark (it is also possible that the beam on the top of the secret room was partially sealed with a wooden plank, so Jiang Xinglong stood on Luo Yifan and touched the top plate, not the beam).
The killer hides above the rooftop, deliberately using a strange tone and bomb threats to attract the attention of the two men.
Then his accomplices, somehow stunned the others, pulling them one by one into the space behind the hidden door.
Luo Yifan guessed that this method might be the same as the method of stunning him outside the door of the red room, when his brain was in a mess and he couldn't react to anything, and he didn't even feel a corpse in his arms.
It is enough to prove that the fragrance he smelled at that time (here is also Luo Yifan's speculation, he thinks that the culprit that caused him to become in this state should be the special fragrance he smelled when he first entered the red room) may also come in handy here.
Regardless, the killer and accomplice accomplice achieved their goal, pulling the others into the hidden third of the space in the small room.
But at this point, it still doesn't solve the problem of why the walls of the two rooms merge into a square after the change of the shape of the secret room, which is completely unaffected by the difference in size and length?
Luo Yifan continued to think as he struggled to climb the beam of the red room, feeling that his reasoning about the secret room of the 'Wall Phantom Clone Technique' was getting closer to the truth step by step.
The only thing to do is to find evidence that can validate his reasoning.
His hands were already up to the beam, Luo Yifan obviously felt that his physical strength was a little unsupportable, and his hands that grabbed his body and pushed it up hard, sore and soft for a while, and he might not be able to hold on and relax at any time.
Gritting his teeth, it wasn't until his elbows completely hugged the thick beam that Luo Yifan was able to separate his brain cells to connect with the reasoning he had just made.
So why do the hidden doors on the east side of the small room and the 1/3 of the hidden space inside disappear?
It is very likely that the hidden door has become a wall, which is what Luo Yifan thought of as 'two small rectangular rooms with right angles to each other and 1/3 of the overlapping space'.
You can imagine a rectangle in an east-west direction and a rectangle in a north-south direction. At the intersection of two rectangles is a small square of space, which means that they share 1/3 of the space.
The east-west rectangle has a hidden door like a wall that covers the common space, which is considered the fulcrum of the hidden door at the north wall of the east-west rectangular room 2/3.
It is equivalent to a corner of the shared square space, this hidden door of the fake wall is opened to the inside of the hidden space, and when it is fully opened, it happens to become the partition wall in the small rectangular room facing north and south, so that the secret room here becomes a large square.
And those who were taken away were hidden in the two-thirds of the space where the small rectangular room facing north and south was instantly hidden. The 1/3 space that was originally hidden and overlapped with the east-west side room is now part of the merging chamber, which is part of the large square.
Speaking of which, the disappearance and reorganization of the door frame and walls of the secret room, as well as the trickery of the companions who disappeared inexplicably, have been preliminarily explained.
So the next thing to explain is: how exactly is the exchange of entrance and exit done?
As we mentioned earlier, the 'Phantom Clone of the Wall' chambers should be one-way access. Although he has both an exit and an entrance, the exit is closed when the entrance is opened, and the entrance is closed when the entrance is opened, which means that there is always only one passage to enter and exit.
What's going on here?
Moreover, there is a puzzling question involved: where is the bewildered female corpse that Wei Guigui and his wife, who were the first to enter the passage of the secret room, saw?
Also, where did the branches of the unknown plant with a strong fragrance that spread around the body of the female corpse at that time go?
The space of the secret room can be said to be a completely closed space, so it is difficult to exude such a strong fragrance, why did the people who entered later not see the female corpse and plant branches at all, nor did they smell a little fragrance at all?
Here I want to state one thing first, it is impossible for the female corpse to be hidden in the part of the space I just said that hid Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong's other companions.
Because when Bian Benyi and his wife woke up later, they didn't see any corpses at all? Let's not forget, although it was dark at that time, the small room where Bian Benyi and his wife were locked up relied on the loosening and flipping of the floor to allow them to escape, and Bian Benyi touched almost every inch of the floor and every inch of the wooden wall in the space in order to find a way to escape.
Therefore, if they were in what I am talking about as a hidden space at the time, then it would be absolutely impossible for the female corpse that Wei Guigui saw to be hidden inside.
Of course, the female corpse and the scent, as well as the problem of plants, we have to put it aside now.
First of all, the structural reasoning of Luo Yifan's phantom secret room, how is the alternation of the exit and entrance of the secret room done?
After the murderer completed the 'Phantom Clone of the Wall' secret room, at this time, the entrance to the entrance should have been sealed.
Luo Yifan, who now has climbed the solid wood beam with his entire body on the beam, continues to speculate: the entrance to the secret passage should be a small mechanism connected to the prosthetic wall, because the position of the secret passage entrance is close to the edge of the prosthetic wall.
When the wall of the implant closes from west to north like a door, it is possible that a wooden board of exactly the same size as the entrance to the secret passage will pop out from behind it and seal it.
When the prosthetic wall is opened from north to west, the small wooden planks that pop up will be retracted inward, opening the entrance to the red room.
It was entirely possible, and since the original owner was able to make such a wonderful secret room, it was not difficult to put a telescopic plank in the wall.
You just need to smash open that part of the wall to see what is going on.
We don't need to describe the opening of the exit here, you can refer to the previous chapters 20 and 21, how Luo Yifan and Jiang Xinglong got out of the phantom room, you will understand how the exit should be opened.
I just want to add one more point here, and that is that the opening of the exit is entirely dependent on the formation of the Phantom Chamber, and if the shape of the wall does not change, there is no chance to notice the direction of the exit.
At this point, Luo Yifan's preliminary reasoning about the secret room of the 'Wall Phantom Clone Technique' has been formed, although many of them still need further verification.
But we can believe that most of these reasoning he made should be true.
Who would have thought that in a seemingly ordinary room, there would be so many different kinds of mechanisms hidden? It's no wonder that 20 years ago, the police couldn't find the wealth and secrets hidden in the house.
Twenty years ago, the wealthy merchant who built this house, who was also a serving official, was able to secretly build such a wonderful and treacherous house here when he had money and power.
The charges announced by the police are gambling and tax evasion, but in fact, there are serious corruption, bribery and abuse of power.
So at the beginning, I described a wealthy businessman who built the Luoque House, and Xie Yunmeng and Mo Haiyou, who had seen the investigation of the archives at that time, mentioned the word corruption in the exchange.
There is indeed a lot of hidden wealth inside the Bird's House, which should have belonged to the state. But time and time again, greedy people want to take it for themselves.
