The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 270 Boiler Room Hole

"It seems that there is nothing in the warehouse." He Nan didn't want to look at the disgusting microwave food any more, and turned his eyes to the canned fruit to calm his frightened heart: "Let's go to the boiler room."

"Yeah." Shirley came out with a smile: "I don't know if there is anything in the kitchen for the mice to eat."

"Probably not... Rats originally lived in human homes and ate the food obtained by them. Once the humans left, they only lived here because it was safer. All the food and drink should be taken care of by themselves." He Nan walked towards In the boiler room, I could vaguely hear other rats calling inside: "Listen? It's like a meeting with rats... Why are there so many rats living in? It's likely that there is a hole leading to the outside world. Then there are many Rats got in and lived. If there are more rats, even the evidence at the scene may be destroyed..."

"Well, yes." Shirley nodded in agreement, "I don't know how big this hole is..."

"Anyway, be mentally prepared."

"It's okay, no matter how big a hole is, it won't scare me."

"I mean there's probably a lot of rats in there! Don't freak out."

"...Since when have I been afraid of mice?" Shirley said with a slight grin.

That's true... He Nan thought about it, and sighed silently in his heart.

Shirley didn't seem to have much to fear.

Why did she see fog in the fear inkblot...

Is it some kind of imagery?
...But what does this image represent?
He Nan has always been puzzled by this.

…Speaking of which, I now see what the fear inkblot will show.

Will it become a smiling shark?
No, probably not... I can only say that it is indeed terrifying, and it only has the effect of mental pollution.

To say that I directly turned it into a deep-seated fear would not show at all.

Thinking of this, He Nan took a deep breath, and slowly opened the door of the boiler room.

Fortunately, the scene inside was not as exciting as he had imagined.

Although there were indeed many mice, the total number was barely close to ten.

Moreover, they were very timid, and when they were illuminated by the flashlight, they immediately scattered and hid.

This really made it hard for He Nan not to imagine the mental journey of the mouse that was running away from them just now.

I haven't seen anyone for half a year, and I'm probably going to be scared to death.

Maybe it was because of fear that he hurriedly fled into the storage room to hide for a while.

Unexpectedly, these two people followed him in again, and they must have left an indelible shadow on it.

"Go in and have a look." He Nan walked into the boiler room, irradiated the surroundings with a flashlight, and found a mouse from time to time, frightened it so that it ran away immediately.

"It's a very old-fashioned boiler..." Shirley looked at the boiler, and then at the pile of coal with a shovel next to it: "Hmm... Coal-burning... A lot of coal is severely damp."

"And it's also mixed with rat feces." He Nan frowned, looking at the black particles everywhere on the ground: "Hey, they are the source of spreading diseases... If someone lives with rat feces every day, he If you don’t know how to clean like a mouse, then this person is likely to be infected with an infectious disease. The most dangerous thing about mice is this.”

"And a large group of mice can come directly to eat people." Shirley complained.

"Hmm..." He Nan observed the surroundings carefully, and slowly walked in: "...that feeling is really miserable. Rats usually don't eat the living directly, the dead are different. In fact, seeing so many rats, I couldn't bear it." Almost making an assumption based on coincidence... but since the report states that the wire was cut, forget it."

"You mean the wire might have been bitten off by a mouse?"

"If it didn't state that the incision was smooth and made with a sharp tool, of course I might think so." He Nan said in a low voice, "In that case, there should be traces of rodents biting the wire. But the forensics department may be trying to save trouble." Didn't check carefully."

"We can go back and check." Shirley suggested.

"Of course. That's exactly what I planned." He Nan nodded: "I just took a cursory look at it just now, and I'll take a closer look later. There is no photo attached in the file... Otherwise, just by looking at the photo, you can know whether to take it or not. exclude."

He Nan and the two then walked deeper.

Under the light of the flashlight, they found an extremely eye-catching breach in the corner of the boiler room.There are mice running out of it in a hurry because they were discovered.

"Hmm..." Looking at the gap in the corner of the wall, Ho Nan frowned, "This size...is enough for an adult to crawl in."

"I don't know when it was broken." Shirley looked at it and said calmly: "If it was damaged when the crime happened, then there may indeed be a murderer who crawled in from here. It is the so-called sixth person. "

"Yes." He Nan carefully observed the breach again: "Well... Although it is a basement, the outside leads to the outside... So it's actually better to call it the negative floor. The outside is full of grass... the weeds are so thick High, it is easy to cover this entrance. Judging from the degree of moisture and decay of the damaged part, it has been a while. At least it cannot be damaged within 45 days. This time span is too long, and it is really impossible to determine whether it is a case The hair was already broken."

"That's right, from the pieces of wood around the damaged part, it's impossible to tell whether it was five months ago or six months ago...it doesn't make any difference." Shirley held the flashlight, frowned slightly, and looked at the They said softly, "Go and ask Tom if he knows anything."

"Wait a moment." He Nan squatted down, picked up a magnifying glass and observed it carefully, and after pondering for a moment, he said again: "It can be seen that this hole was artificially broken."

"Oh?" Shirley became interested: "Let me see."

So, He Nan handed her the magnifying glass and stood up by himself.

After Shirley claimed to observe for a while, she also agreed and came to the same conclusion as He Nan.

"Indeed, judging from the fracture texture, the fragments are caused by being hit by a blunt object...and the blunt object is not too big." Xueli said so, handing the magnifying glass back to He Nan, and whispered: "So... ...the entrance was artificially smashed out..."

"I think the so-called blunt weapon is likely to be kicked out like this." He Nan raised his leg and gestured, but he didn't really kick the wall: "The wooden walls here are not strong at first, and later they were damaged by damp. It's getting more fragile...it's easy to open with a hard kick."

"It makes sense." Shirley nodded: "Then, this place can be used as an invasion point... We must carefully consider the existence of the sixth person."
