Chapter 165: The Anomaly of Freezing to Death
Mo Zitong did not answer directly, but explained carefully: "The possibility of freezing to death naturally is very low in today's society. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info It is usually due to the combined effect of wind, snow, humidity and cold that can lead to severe frostbite or freezing to death. Most of these situations occur when a mountain climber, traveler, survey, or ship is shipwrecked, gets lost in a snowstorm, or falls into icy water.
Of course, if the cold is not enough, even if you are exposed to temperatures above zero for too long, it will lead to freezing to death. This is especially true in winter and spring in cold regions. But now this season, there is almost no such possibility.
In addition to low temperature, there are two important factors that are the main conditions for freezing to death, that is, wind and water. Wind is the decisive factor in freezing to death when exposed to air, as wind energy accelerates the dissipation of heat and promotes a decrease in ambient temperature. The higher the wind speed, the faster the heat will be dissipated, so the wind speed is directly proportional to the drop in body temperature.
Another decisive factor is water, or a very humid environment. This is due to the fact that water itself conducts heat 25 times more than dry air, and heat dissipates much faster in water than dry air at the same temperature. So it freezes to death much faster in water than in dry air at the same temperature. A normal person may still survive for a few or even ten hours if exposed to zero-degree air, but if a person is immersed in zero-degree water, it only takes less than half an hour to freeze to death.
It's like, you can't die standing on an iceberg, but if you fall into the sea near the iceberg, you'll quickly freeze to death. If these students were not engaged in any kind of work of a special nature, I can almost infer that they froze to death in the water. ”
Mu Sen had been listening carefully, but when he heard Mo Zidi's conclusion and looked at the photos of the deceased, he still felt a little puzzled. If these people were frozen to death in the water. So why doesn't anyone see it?
Of course, Mo Ziqi saw Mu Sen's confusion at a glance, so he explained: "In cold enough water, a person can freeze to death in less than half an hour. So there were no signs of severe frostbite on their bodies, and there were no obvious corpse spots. In the case of a person who freezes to death, frostbite is bound to occur on the body. But in the water it's different, it's normal to have no frostbite. ”
"That'...... If you are a murderer. How do you get these people to freeze to death instead of drowning? How can people not see the signs of their immersion in ice water? Mu Sen looked at Mo Zidi and asked.
Mo Ziqi said naturally: "Give oxygen." They can breathe underwater, but it restricts their freedom of movement. That way, they won't die of suffocation or drowning. In that short period of time, the more emotional the victim is, the faster the time for their death will be. The whole process is simple, quick, and not bloody, and as long as there is enough and enough ice water, even dealing with the murder scene saves a lot of trouble. ”
Mu Sen pondered Mo Zidi's words, and after about two minutes, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "What about the clothes?" How to interpret clothes? If they have ever been immersed in ice water. Clothes should be soaking wet. But if you are naked and immersed in ice water without clothes, and you only wear clothes after death, then it is impossible to have abnormal undressing. "Mussen is trying to find out all the unreasonable, and when they can explain all the unreasonable, the rest will become reasonable.
Regarding Mu Sen's question, Mo Ziqi just asked disapprenously: "Do the clothes on their bodies have to be their own?" What do the families say? Did you notice that you were dressed abnormally? ”
"This ......" Mu Sen was stunned, he really didn't think of this possibility. Because the deceased's death was not peaceful, the abnormal undressing behavior also made the clothes messy. As a result, no one notices whether they are wearing their own clothes or not. In addition, their family environments are relatively special. For example, people like Liu Sheng's mother. She probably didn't even know what her son was wearing when he went out!
Seeing that Mu Sen was stunned, Mo Zitong nodded and said, "It seems that they are all children who lack love." Well, if there are any corpses that have not been cremated, you can check if there are any special strangulation marks on their faces. For example, the marks caused by things like diving masks. If they've all been cremated, take a closer look at the photos! I just took a look, and judging from the information you brought, there is something wrong with the clothes of several of them. How could a child in that fairly wealthy family dress so shabby? There are not only signs of wear and tear on the cuffs. And it seems to be relatively short. It's understandable if it's a poor family, but the rich family shouldn't be very good, right? Also, don't you think it's unnatural to see that the victim named Zhang Hai wore such a thick scarf in this season? ”
When Mo Zitong said this, Mu Sen hurriedly took the stack of materials and looked at it carefully. Jin Yu on the side was already stupid just by listening to what Mo Zitong said, and kept staring at Mo Zidi, occasionally glancing at those profile photos, but he still didn't have the courage to lean over and take a closer look.
Under Mu Sen's careful observation, there were several close-up photographs of the deceased's face that did find faint marks, just on the cheeks. There is also Zhang Hai mentioned by Mo Zidi, the thick scarf looks like it is used in winter, and it has to be used by a genius in the wind and snow, in the current season, it is really weird to wrap around the deceased.
After looking at it for a long time, Mu Sen raised his head and said, "Zidi, say so...... It was someone who first froze them to death in the water, and then changed them into clothes that did not belong to them after the abnormal stripping zombie had formed. This kind of changing clothes is a compulsive and uncontrollable behavior. Because if the murderer just wanted to change the deceased into dry clothes, there was no need to wear that thick scarf. ”
"yes, so, those clothes are the key. The owner of the clothes may be the reason why the murderer killed. Mo Zitong said.
"However, the bodies are all cremated, and the clothes may not be there." This is the most anxious thing for Mu Sen at the moment, there is no body, no evidence, no autopsy traces, even if they deduce the whole murder process, it seems to be useless.
Mo Ziqi thought for a while and asked, "Is it normal that there is no guardian among them?" ”
Mu Sen and Jin Yu opened their mouths almost at the same time and whispered a name: "Li Muzi......"
Yes, if it is said that the character state of the guardian is simple, maybe Li Muzi's grandmother is the most normal. It's just that at her age, she has been stimulated so much, and Mu Sen has always been reluctant to stimulate the old man again. But now it seems...... In order to get to the bottom of the case and give an explanation to the dead and the living, I may have to disturb the poor old man who was lonely. (To be continued.) )
