Chapter 425 The Answer? (Superior)
Mrs. Marple looked at Zi Liang as if he hadn't calmed down for a while.
After a while.
"Is it me?" She then asked, "Haha, you just woke up, I don't blame you, but I have to explain to you that I am an old woman and have been suffering from rheumatism for more than 20 years. Well, even when my legs and feet were strong, I could only move half a bag of flour at most, let alone me now. So, how could I move Sherlock's body to a place like this."
Marple was very smart, so she quickly and simply found a question that even a fool could think of and threw it to Ziliang.
However, Ziliang just smiled.
"Of course, you can't move it."
"Haha - it seems you just woke up now"
"Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet." Ziliang interrupted the other party: "I only said that you can't move the whole thing, but you don't have to move the whole thing. You can move the head first, then the arms, and then move the whole thing." Half of his thigh, at the end."
"Haha -" Mrs. Marple smiled and shook her head: "Okay, okay, you are saying that after I amputated Sherlock, I moved it away piece by piece, right?"
Ziliang nodded: "Yes!"
"Oh, in this case, there are too many questions involved. Where should I start? Oh, let's ask them in chronological order. First of all, how did I amputate his limbs? Did I use a knife? Okay, okay. , I know you can already name a method of amputating someone with a knife and then making the murder weapon disappear, but I always have a place to amputate, and what about the blood? Don’t tell me that I wiped it clean, ours There are carpets in the room, and it’s not easy to clean up with such a large amount of blood. Even if I can really clean it up, I can’t handle the smell in the room.”
"Of course, you can't handle it." Ziliang said: "But there is a premise for this, that is, the corpse bleeds a lot of blood. If the corpse does not bleed, or leaves very little blood, then the situation will not be the same. Same!"
Marple frowned: "What's wrong with you? Don't you have common sense? There is blood in the human body. How can I not bleed when I amputate my limb?"
"In one case, it's okay." Ziliang said lightly: "...when it's frozen!"
Marple stared at Ziliang without hesitation, as if waiting for him to continue. And Ziliang certainly did as she wished.
"Blood is a very magical thing. Although it is 90% water, the large amount of protein and blood cells makes its coagulation point extremely high. When the temperature is 10 degrees above zero, the isolated blood begins to gradually Coagulated, that is to say, when the human body temperature is below 10 degrees, the person is almost dead. When the temperature is minus 30 degrees, the blood clotting time is less than two minutes. If it is minus 100 degrees, The blood coagulates almost instantly.”
"So, you are saying that I froze Sherlock?"
"Yes, you froze him, and you don't need a knife to amputate the limb at all. That would waste too much time for you. You can just smash it. As I said before, blood is a very The magical thing is that it does not expand like water when frozen, but will form "fractured" ice crystals. To put it more clearly, when people are at low temperatures, they will become something similar to "hollowed out" ice crystals. 'Sculpture." Ziliang said, everyone must have seen on TV that after a person is frozen into ice, if he falls to the ground, he will be broken into pieces like porcelain. Although it is a bit exaggerated, but... at minus 100 degrees If a person is frozen instantly, then the person will indeed become very brittle: "So you didn't amputate the limb first, but smashed Sherlock after freezing it."
Marple took a deep breath: "Okay, okay, what you said makes perfect sense, but there is one problem you have to follow the facts. Recall, we all saw Sherlock appear when he killed Kudo Shinichi. Well, he was not dead at that time, and he was still hiding. How could I find him, kill him, freeze him, and then amputate his limbs between Kudo Shinichi’s death and now? The key point is that Sherlock was not amputated, he is lying here, a complete Sherlock!"
She pointed to the body on the table and said!
However, Ziliang shook his head.
"No, although we saw Sherlock, it was not the complete Sherlock!"
"What do you mean?"
"Obviously, what you see now is not the complete me. In fact, in our daily life, except in the bathhouse or in bed, it is difficult to see a complete person. You know what I mean, right - "
"I don't know!" Mrs. Marple's tone seemed to have changed slightly.
"Oh, are you still struggling? Look at me. Now, have you seen everything about me? No, you just saw my head and hands. Other than that, nothing else. The rest is me. Shirt, trousers, leather shoes, and this damn white coat." Ziliang said unhurriedly: "Let's take a look at Sherlock again. He is dressed about the same as me, except that he changed his white coat into a suit. How about it? Understand, that is to say, the Sherlock we saw at that time was not complete. He was actually just a head."
"Nonsense!" Marple immediately interrupted Ziliang: "Do you want to say that Sherlock only had these parts at that time? But you also saw that his clothes at that time were not empty. He was very real, and he was not Just a puppet with a few pieces of cloth attached to it!”
"Of course he is a puppet, but it is not just a few pieces of cloth connected together. His suit is also filled with something that seems very real, but is extremely light and can disappear in an instant." said Then, Ziliang pointed to the balloons next to the Christmas tree: "Didn't you notice that our holiday balloons are missing a few? Oh, let me think about it, there are exactly three round balloons and four long strips. Balloon, haha, if these things are put together, put on a suit, and put a head on it, what do you think is the chance that we can see his figure clearly in the interweaving of light and dark? More Not to mention that there was a fire burning right next to it."
"Oh, by the way, this seems to explain why Sherlock disappeared. In fact, he did not disappear. We just need to combine the previous methods of committing crimes. [Inspector Polo]'s cyanide - -【Kanada Yiyi】's fishing line--【House of Resentment】's amputation--and some balloons we saw when we went out. In addition, the killing tool you need--a small tank of liquid nitrogen is enough. ”
