Chapter 651: The Chamber of Secrets Case (Part 2)(1/2)
"I felt bad and wanted to cry. I was afraid of tears, so I kept drinking." Fiona tried to recall: "But I don't know what made me feel sad."
Liang Xi asked: "Did you go back to bed by yourself?"
Fiona shook her head: "I don't know."
Liang Xi asked: "Did you find out that Xiao Qing has another lover?"
Fiona still shook her head: "I don't know."
Liang Xidao: "Ashtrays, wine bottles, and classical cups are all placed on the carpet?"
Fiona said: "There is also an ice bucket."
"Ice bucket?"
Fiona said: "Definitely. How can people on Earth drink whiskey without ice?"
Romeo added at the door: "There is a small refrigerator in the hotel room, which is an independent power supply system. There is a small bucket of ice cubes in the freezer. The ice bucket is still in the refrigerator at the discovery site, but the ice cubes are gone."
Xiao Qing came out of the shower and tidied up briefly. He put the wine and glasses on the bedside table and put the ice bucket back in the refrigerator. Why did he leave the ashtray on the floor? The most likely reason is that Xiao Qing also put the ashtray back on the bedside table.
, was used as a murder weapon by Fiona. However, there were four cigarette butts and a lot of ash in the ashtray. Fiona picked up the ashtray and hit Xiaoqing, and the ash would scatter on the bed and other places.
The most likely scenario is that Fiona used the towel bag to take the ashtray, slowly approached Xiao Qing, and then smashed Xiao Qing to death. At this time, the ash was scattered, which is consistent with the scene. However, this behavior was considered murder, not injury causing death.
At this time, the technical department knocked on the door and delivered a test report. Romeo looked at the report and said: "In addition to some indescribable liquids, there is also water on the carpet."
Liang Xi asked: "What?"
Romeo said: "The evidence personnel took eight samples of the carpet, and the water quality of two of them was exactly the same, but they were not tap water or bathroom water."
"What kind of water is that?"
Romeo shook his head: "No comparison parameters were found. The evidence personnel have sent people to the hotel to collect toilet water samples."
Liang Xi's eyes lit up: "Let them collect an ice bucket of water."
"Ice bucket water?"
Liang Xidao: "The ice machines we usually see are usually directly supplied with tap water. Some hotels in the UK have certain standards. They will connect filters and other items to the water inlet of the ice machine, which will cause ice cubes and domestic water to be mixed with water.
The samples are different. If there are ice cubes on the carpet..."
"Wait." Romeo quickly stopped: "Let's go out and talk." He already knew what Liang Xi was thinking, and he couldn't let Liang Xi say it in front of Fiona.
…
If there are ice cubes scattered on the carpet, it means that Xiao Qing may have slipped and hit his head on the ashtray on the ground.
After having this hypothesis, or the only unexpected hypothesis, Romeo, Alvin and Liang Xi began to restore the scene. Based on the photos and physical evidence, they set up an identical scene. Based on the location of the refrigerator, Liang Xi put forward an explanation
, is also the only explanation that can exonerate Fiona.
Xiao Qing came out of the bathroom and saw the mess on the floor, so she put the wine bottle and wine glass back on the bedside table, then picked up the ice bucket and walked to the refrigerator to put them away. Xiao Qing was wrapped in a bath towel. She held the bath towel with one hand and cleaned up the debris with the other.
The last thing to do with the ashtray was to flush it out and take it to the bathroom. Xiao Qing, who came back from the refrigerator, didn't notice the ice cubes scattered on the ground. The carpets in the hotel were not homely furry carpets, but some hard carpets.
.Stepping on the ice with his bare feet and holding a bath towel in one hand, Xiao Qing lost his balance. He fell backward and hit his head on the ashtray...
Why is the ashtray 50 centimeters away from Xiao Qing’s head? Because Fiona moved the ashtray away when she checked at 5 a.m.
After Romeo and Liang Xi analyzed the location of cigarette ash, cigarette butts, and water stains, they all agreed that this possibility existed. At this time, the technical department came out with the latest report, proving that the two sample liquids were liquids after melting ice cubes.
.
At this time, four volunteer police officers recruited by Romeo arrived at the Criminal Investigation Department. Romeo followed his own plan and simulated the scene where Fiona was drunk.
Drinking and driving standards vary from country to country.
Usually 0.2%, 100 ml of blood contains 20 mg of alcohol, and the standard for drunkenness is 0.8. For example, the standard for drunkenness in the United States and the United Kingdom is 0.1%, and the standard for drunkenness is also 0.8%. At 6:30 in the morning on the day of the eucalyptus, the Philippines
Ona's blood alcohol concentration was 1.5%. Based on Fiona's gender, weight and physical condition, when Xiao Qing died at 0:30, Fiona's blood alcohol concentration exceeded 2.3% and was expected to be between 2.5% and 2.7%.
.Indicated that when Xiao Qing died, Fiona's blood contained 270 mg of alcohol in 100 ml of blood.
Simple calculation, two bottles of beer is 0.8%, which is the critical point of drunk driving and drunk driving. There is no pressure at all to kill people. 2.7% will cause speech disorders and movement disorders in the human body. If it exceeds 3.0%, people who drink regularly will become drowsy.
, people who don’t drink often will fall into coma. If it exceeds 4.0%, people who often drink will fall into coma, and people who don’t drink often will face the threat of death. If it exceeds 5.0%, proper alcohol poisoning, even if there is no death, will have a negative impact on the body and
Causes serious and irreversible damage to the brain.
With an alcohol content of 2.7%, could Fiona complete the murder? According to on-site analysis, Fiona would grab the ashtray with a bath towel, hit Xiao Qing on the back of the head, then clean the remaining cigarette ash on her body and rinse the bath towel
The steps need to be more careful. When rinsing the ash from the bath towel, you can only rinse a small area stained with soot. Therefore, the premise is to determine the divided areas of the ashtray. Hold the towel part of the ashtray firmly and rub it.
Just shake the area covered with smoke and dust.
The result of the test was that the four voluntary test subjects were unable to complete the procedure. They either could not hold the ashtray or could not find the dirty part of the bath towel. They were unable to perform the procedure after the murder in such a drunken state.
The situation is now favorable to Fiona. First, there is the possibility of Xiao Qing's accidental death. Second, Fiona does not have the ability to disguise the scene after the murder. Third, even if Fiona is not drinking, she seems to be unable to arrange the scene.
.
Of course, there is still the possibility that Fiona is the murderer.
Fiona didn't wrap the ashtray with a bath towel at all, she just hit Xiao Qing to death with the ashtray, and then went to take a shower. In theory, there would be some bruises on her hands, but Fiona hit her head, and Alvin hit the coffee table.
The strength of the shock response is different. Furthermore, the hands were not carefully examined during the physical examination.
What is the truth? To verify or reject Liang Xi's inference, we can only look at the last technical parameter. That is whether ice residue can be detected on the soles of Xiao Qing's feet. But ice is solid, Xiao Qing
Even if he steps on it, it may not leave any residue on the soles of his feet. The result of this parameter can only prove that Xiao Qing stepped on the ice and fell, but cannot prove whether Fiona killed someone.
To put it simply, since the composition of ice cube water is different from that of tap water, as long as there is this element on Xiao Qing's feet, it means that the last thing Xiao Qing's feet landed on was ice cubes. If it is not found, it is meaningless and cannot be explained.
Any questions….
Fortunately, the pure water detected by Xiaoqing's left foot was basically consistent with the pure water filtered by the ice machine. The minerals and trace elements were basically consistent with the two liquid samples obtained from the carpet, and it could be determined that Xiaoqing was pregnant.
Qing's left foot must have stepped on ice. The stepped area was about a centimeter below the gap between the big toe and the second toe. Technicians speculated that a small amount of ice chips were squeezed into the toe gap after stepping on it, and were eventually retained.
The next step is to test whether it can cause fatal injuries after falling. The probability is not very high. Only two fatal injuries are caused out of 50 times. But this is enough. Even if there is only one success out of 100 million times, it means that the possibility cannot be ruled out.
.
Romeo was still very cautious. Together with Liang Xi, he visited Fiona, Xiaoqing's colleagues and friends to understand whether there was a possible conflict between them. The conclusion was that there was no, they were all single and had no boyfriend or girlfriend in their daily lives.
Socializing is simple. However, during the investigation, Liang Xi noticed a small detail. Strictly speaking, Xiao Qing could not be regarded as Phil's cronies. On the night of the accident, Phil's cronies and subordinates were all at the villa, accompanying Phil to receive a distinguished guest, while Xiao Qing
Qing is working from home.
In this regard, people close to Phil explained that this was just a meeting and did not require the support of technical staff. Xiaoqing was still single, and Phil also hoped that Xiaoqing would have more private space to contact the outside world, so unless necessary, Xiaoqing would
Stay in the Defense Office. One of his confidants said Phil
He treats Xiaoqing as his daughter and takes good care of her in all aspects. They may not always take a holiday during holidays, but Xiaoqing will definitely take a holiday.
…
Basically, the dust of this story has settled. The last step is to re-examine all the physical evidence and verify all the materials. Romeo did not let Liang Xi go. The reason is that Romeo took Alvin to understand the job. With Liang Xi's assistance, Romeo could more easily become a teacher.
He also guided Alvin in the same way. Without Liang Xi, even if Romeo made an obvious mistake, Alvin might not have the courage to point it out.
Liang Xi is responsible for checking the mobile phone and computer. There is no way, he is the youngest of the three people here, and logically speaking, he should know these things best. The fact is that Liang Xi’s mobile phone is only used for making calls and surfing the Internet, and Liang Xi’s computer
He basically didn't turn on the computer, and he didn't even understand the difference between memory and storage. Even so, Liang Xi still looked at the computer carefully.
"How about it?"
Liang Xi replied: "Based on my years of technical experience, computers and mobile phones should not be murder weapons. Romeo, from your expression, it seems that you do not agree with the current results?" The current results cannot prove that Fiona committed murder, but Romeo has always
Fiona was not found guilty of murder.
Romeo said: "Don't you think there is one missing phone call?"
"Um?"
Romeo said: "After Xiao Qing receives Fiona and sends her to the hotel to settle down, should Phil call Fiona or Xiao Qing? Or should Xiao Qing and Fiona call Phil?"
Liang Xidao: "You don't understand people like them. Once you arrange a certain job for someone, you will trust the other person to complete the work. After someone receives the job and the work goes well, he will not make phone calls. It was late at night, Phil
After receiving VIP guests in the villa, Phil also had to rest. Didn't the technical department check the computer and mobile phone? No abnormalities were found. What do you want to do? Conspiracy theory? Someone deliberately framed Fiona to attack Phil.
?”….
Romeo shook his head and thought for a long time: "I don't know Fiona. When we told her the latest progress of the case yesterday afternoon, she was not happy or excited. She seemed to have expected that we would find ice water."
Liang Xidao: "Fiona has an emotional personality, and Xiao Qing's death had a huge impact on her in the short term. With the investigation of the case, her and Xiao Qing's privacy was dug out, which makes people unhappy."
.”
"It seems that I don't understand her." Romeo said: "Having said that, objectively speaking, Fiona does not have the ability to kill people. Even if she is not drunk, she cannot complete such a plan. I should believe her."
"That's okay, I'll leave first."
Romeo waved his hand: "The translation fee will not be less for you."
"Go up." Liang Xi closed the door and left Romeo's office with a smile.
Ai Wen came over and said, "Master, the evidence is complete and the prosecutor agrees with it. Why don't you sign the verdict for so long?"
"I don't know Fiona, but I know Liang Xi." Romeo said: "Originally everything was fine, but Liang Xi hid something from me. In other words, he discovered some problems, but did not tell me, and I
Not found."
