Chapter 25 Answers to the Mystery?
"Where did you just say? Oh, yes, you met that person, and... according to the rules, you should also get a murder prop, and what you want... is like what I just said - a can of liquid nitrogen."
"And when you get liquid nitrogen, you quickly come to Sherlock's room again. At this time, Shinichi was still dealing with Sherlock's body, but I guess he would not have started to dismember himself in Sherlock's living room like before. After all, it was already midnight at that time. Shinichi repeatedly used his previous methods, and I think Shinichi was not embarrassed to cut the corpse naked in front of you. This is not a question of your age and age, but it is acceptable to do something like [naked dismemberment], but it will definitely be a little embarrassed to do it in front of an old lady."
"So, I guess Shinichi will put the corpse in the bathtub, pierce the carotid artery, bleed, and let the blood flow into the sewer. This won't take much time, because the corpse has just died and the blood pressure has not completely dropped. The amount of bleeding from the large rupture of the artery is enough to spray more than 70% of the blood in the human body within a few minutes. At this time, Sherlock's corpse is frozen and is in a [very crisp] form."
"And the method of freezing is also very simple... Do you remember when the body of [Kudo Shinichi] was ignited, did I go to find a trash can to fill water? Actually, at that time, the first one I entered Sherlock's room, but it was strange that there was no trash can in Sherlock's room. I was still very strange at that time, but now I understand, because the trash can in Sherlock's room was for you to use, your method is to insert a small hole in the bottom of the trash can with a knife, and then... you pour liquid nitrogen into it.
In the trash can, let it form a "funnel" and water it slowly and evenly on Sherlock. After all, liquid nitrogen may be frostbite as long as it is touched on the skin, so it is safer. After that, liquid nitrogen flows into the sewer. I guess, there is still no completely melted ice crystals in the sewer now. Oh, as for the barrel filled with liquid nitrogen... plastic will harden in an environment of minus 40 degrees Celsius and become as crisp as porcelain. I guess it has long turned into plastic pieces now."
"Haha, all the talks are theory, there is no evidence at all. What about the plastic pieces? Did I let me eat them?" Marple said with a smile.
"Oh, my words may have made you misunderstand. Being broken is naturally not the final destination of the trash can." As he said that, Ziliang took out a small piece of thin slice from his pocket that seemed to have been burned: "This thing was found next to the Christmas tree when I was checking Xinyi's body, so you finally burned the trash can. I guess you thought, anyway, there are decorations hanging everywhere on the Christmas tree, and it doesn't matter if someone found a piece of small plastic."
"But......"
"Okay, I know you want to say that this is not evidence, but there will always be evidence, so please don't interrupt me." Ziliang continued: "And after Sherlock was frozen, Shinchi Kudo began to smash his body open. This is not difficult for a young and strong high school student. As for the tools, I think it should be something on the dining table. Even if you can't find a suitable one, it will be enough for you to frostbite on the spot. Anyway, those things will disappear afterwards."
"And after that, it was what I said before, the 'collection of murder methods'. You two first stuffed balloons into Sherlock's clothes and pretended to be like a body inside. Oh, don't ask me how the clothes are intact. When the corpse is dismembered, no one could chop them together with the clothes. So at that time, Shin-kyung had stripped Sherlock's clothes long ago, and then you put his head on the 'fake body'. In this way, a very lightweight 'Sherlock' was completed. Finally, you imitate the previous death of [Kinda Ichi] and hang Sherlock's body in the air and fix it with a thread. In this way, as long as the thread is broken, or simply wait for the flames to burn, Sherlock's body will be blown from the sky."
"And because his body weight is very low, we saw that he looked like he was coming down, and there was a strange feeling of 'this guy flying'! As for why he suddenly disappeared, it would be better explained. As long as you hold the rope in your hand and wrap it on the second floor fence, because the lights were flashing at that time and the flames suddenly ignited, even if you have a good vision, you can't notice your strangeness in that situation. So, you just need to keep pulling it. Don't say that you can't pull it, how heavy a head can be."
"And when our eyes were attracted by the flames, and looking at the sky, looking for Sherlock, and then running back to find something to fill water, you poked the balloon in the shadow, then put the clothes under the blanket covering your legs, and it would be fine. At that time, I thought Sherlock was still alive, who would go through an old lady's blanket, right?"
"Okay OK, please forgive me for having to interrupt you again." Mrs. Marple said, "But I discovered a loophole in your words, that is, if you go to Sherlock's room first when you look for a container of water...whether is his body? You said Sherlock's body was disguised with balloons, then, what about his remaining body?"
“Beneath your wheelchair!”
“What…what?”
"Don't be so surprised, just under your wheelchair, there is usually a small space under your transportation wheelchair, which is usually used to hold some bags, or the vegetable baskets you bring during a walk in the morning. I also saw it, and yours is indeed with you... I remember when Sherlock disappeared, I felt a cold breath, but at that time there was a burning flame next to it, and there was no coldness coming out, but I thought I was scared... Now when I think about it, I realized that it was the temperature emitted by the frozen corpse, because at that time, Sherlock's corpse was next to us, and even if it was wrapped in a tablecloth, I could still feel the coldness."
"Hu——" Marple exhaled heavily: "Young people nowadays have such a big idea." As she said that, she pointed to Sherlock's body that was still on the table: "If Sherlock's body was not intact here now, I really thought what you said was true..."
