Extra Sixteen Chapter 361
Matthew is dead...or in a back room! ?
This made Eve, who had just found some clues, feel a bit of a headache. Was it murder?But how to kill in a closed and locked bathroom?
Eve tightened her hand holding the phone, and said quickly: "I see, I'll rush over right now, don't touch anything in the bathroom, and the environment must be protected."

Qin Jinhui also came out at this time, and seeing Eve's expression turned ugly, he asked, "What happened?"

"Matthew is dead." Eve pinched the center of her brows, "According to what Yan Yunying said, this should be a murder in a secret room. I'll go and have a look first."

With that said, she turned back to the autopsy room to get some needed tools, and left in a hurry.

Not long after Eve arrived at Matthew's room, researchers from the Jefferson Research Institute rushed to the cruise ship with equipment. Eve had no time to arrange for them and asked them to go directly to Qin Jinhui.

After placing the equipment, Qin Jinhui immediately asked them to do a DNA comparison, which was the dander tissue in An Qi's nails and the DNA sample Jian You took from Thomas.The second is to compare whether the blood of the other person in Wei'an's room is Matthew's.

Qin Jinhui was in charge of testing the chronic poison in the two people's bodies.

On the other side, Eve stood at the door of the bathroom in Matthew's room, glanced at the situation inside, and finally fell on Matthew's body.

The bathroom is not big, you can see it at a glance.

As soon as he entered the washbasin on the left, the toilet was in front, and the glass-separated bathroom was on the right. There was a sealed circular window on the bathroom wall, and Matthew fell to the ground next to the toilet.

"He died when you came in?" Eve asked Yan Yunying next to him.

"Well, I went there immediately after the door opened to make sure," Yan Yunying's face was a little ugly, after all, the accident happened under her nose, "I took a quick look, and there was no trauma on his body, look at him like that , I suspect that he died of poisoning."

Eve looked at the bathroom again, but there was no entrance or exit.

There is an exhaust vent above the head, but it is not big enough for an adult to enter and exit. The door was locked at the time, and Yan Yunying was guarding in the living room outside. It is impossible that someone has entered and exited without her knowing.

A typical secret room murder technique.

How did the murderer kill Matthew?
Eve put the tools in her hand on the sink, put on gloves, approached Matthew's body, and squatted down to check.

As Yan Yunying said, Matthew didn't have any trauma on his body. He was curled up on the ground, holding his throat tightly with his hands, his head slightly tilted back, and there was a secretion similar to vomit at the corner of his mouth. He seemed to have died of suffocation.

Eve removed the dead man's hand from the neck, and there were a few scratches on his throat, and a small amount of flesh and blood under his nails, which seemed to be scratched by himself.

"Help me lift his hand." Eve said without raising her head.

Yan Yunying immediately went over to catch Matthew's hand, and Eve got up and took a test tube and tweezers, and put the flesh and blood from the dead man's ten fingernails into a small test tube.

Passing the test tube to Yan Yunying, Eve poked open the mouth and nose of the deceased to take some secretions.

After finishing all this, she turned on the recording pen and said calmly: "The deceased, Matthew Humphrey, male, died 15 minutes before the preliminary determination. The cause of death was...asphyxiation."

Yan Yunying stood behind Eve, staring closely at Matthew's body, and asked, "What caused the suffocation? Poisoning?"

Eve was checking the dead man's cerebral cortex to see if there was any wound. When she heard Yan Yunying's question, she didn't turn her head and said briefly: "It's not clear yet, maybe it's poisoning, maybe it's a sudden illness."

"I'll send someone to adjust his medical records immediately." Yan Yunying said as she was about to rush out.

"and many more!"

Eve suddenly called to her, "Bring me a magnifying glass."

Yan Yunying didn't doubt that he was there, stopped and turned around and handed over the magnifying glass, "What did you find?"

"There is a small wound on the top of his head." Eve pointed to the top of Matthew's head, and used a magnifying glass to shine on the place. "There seems to be some blood here."

That spot was covered by Matthew's thick brown hair, and if Eve hadn't taken a magnifying glass to take a picture, Yan Yunying wouldn't have been able to see that little bit of blood at all.

"Could it be that he accidentally bumped it when he fell down?" Yan Yunying asked uncertainly, "Or was it injured before?"

There was no one in the bathroom, so it couldn't have been injured by the murderer here. Moreover, the wound was so small that it was probably touched by something the size of a pinhole. Could it be fatal?
Eve shook her head, "If it was hit when it fell down, it should have hit the forehead or the side of the head, and it's impossible to hit the top of the head. Secondly, the wound is still fresh. Look at the blood, the time of injury and the time of death Very close, it should have been caused a few minutes before death."

"The cause of death is really this wound?" Yan Yunying's eyes widened in disbelief, "It's probably a needle prick, and a single prick can kill a person? Moreover, the inside is airtight, even if someone hid here before. , after killing Matthew, that person can't escape!"

No matter how she looked at it, it was impossible to hide a big living person here. If someone killed Matthew here, how did he get in and how did he get out?
Eve didn't answer Yan Yunying, but looked up at the top of the toilet, then closed the toilet lid, and said to Yan Yunying, "Sit on it and let me have a look."

Yan Yunying: "..."

That's what Matthew sat on before he died!
Looking at Eve's stern face, Yan Yunying bravely sat up, although she felt a little nervous, "How is it? Did you find anything?"

Eve stood up, looked up at the exhaust vent and Yan Yunying's head, and curled her lips, "This is where the needle should have fallen and stuck into Matthew's head."

Hearing this, Yan Yun's image jumped up like a spring, and looked at the exhaust vent above with horror, with lingering fear in his heart.

Patting her heart, Yan Yunying glared at Eve, obviously doubting that she would let her sit on it so naturally, wouldn't she be afraid that another needle would fall and let herself die unexpectedly?
After calming down, Yan Yunying asked suspiciously: "You said the needle fell from above, but where is the needle?"

She just looked through the magnifying glass. There is only a little blood on Matthew's head, and the surrounding area is still wet. I don't know if it is sweat or water. Besides, there is no needle. Where is the needle?
Eve's expression remained unchanged, "We couldn't find the needle because the needle had already melted."

Yan Yunying opened her mouth, and it took her a long time to find her voice, "You mean, that needle is made of ice? But, how could the murderer calculate that Matthew will enter the bathroom at that time ?”

The ice will melt, and it may melt later, so the plan will not succeed at all.

Eve's eyes fell on the mobile phone next to Matthew, and she said, "Did Matthew answer the phone or check the phone before going into the bathroom?"

Yan Yunying froze for a moment, thought about it and said: "A few minutes before entering the bathroom, he did answer the phone... You mean, it was the murderer who called him to lure him into the bathroom? But it's not right, what happened to the ice needle?" Is it arranged here? Matthew and I have been in the room all the time, and no one has come in during that time. It has been so long, even if the ice needles were placed early in the morning, they would have melted long ago."

"It's very simple," Eve said, stepped on the toilet, looked up at the vent, and looked in through the gaps in the louver, "Wrap the ice needle with dry ice first, and calculate the time to wait until the dry ice Let Matthew come in when it's almost melted, and let him sit on the toilet."

Yan Yunying was taken aback when she heard that, it's that simple?
"But, how did he make Matthew sit on the toilet?" She still couldn't understand this point. After all, Matthew is not a robot, and he doesn't just do what you want him to do by simply giving an instruction.

Eve rolled her eyes towards the sky, "I'm not a god, how could I know everything."

Yan Yunying: "..."

You are not a god and you are not an ordinary person, okay?Otherwise, how could so many things be guessed at a glance.

Dry ice, ice needles, once melted, there will be no traces, and the wound on the top of the head is only as big as a pinhole, and the blood is only a little bit, don't you also notice it?
At this time, Eve had already removed the shutter of the exhaust port and handed it to Yan Yunying, "Put this away and take it to the laboratory for testing."

Yan Yunying was a little dumbfounded, "After the dry ice melts, carbon dioxide remains. Can this be tested?"

"..."

Eve really wanted to hit her on the head with the blind in her hand, to see if she could be knocked smarter.

She said patiently: "It's not carbon dioxide detection, but the dust on it. No matter how hard the hotel staff cleans it, they won't clean the exhaust vent every day, so the dust will accumulate on it. Be sure to disassemble the vent and put it away. As long as he moves through the vent, the dust inside will be swept away. And, even if he wears gloves, there will be fingerprints of gloves on it."

After hearing this, Yan Yunying suddenly realized, took the blinds and turned around to run, "I'll go right away."

Eve called out to her, "Wait! Take the phone and check Matthew's call records before he died."

After Yan Yunying left, Eve squatted back on the ground, untied Matthew's clothes, and roughly inspected the body. As expected, there was no trauma, and it was confirmed that he died of poisoning.

All that was left was to determine what poison he had.

She collected some liquid near the wound on the top of Matthew's head with a cotton swab, put it into a test tube, and prepared to send it to the temporary laboratory.Then he called Jiang Xuhan to send several trace inspection experts over to collect evidence.

After the forensics was over and the photos were taken, Eve ordered Matthew's body to be brought back to the temporary autopsy room for further examination.

Back in the autopsy room, Eve also received Matthew's medical records, which confirmed that Matthew had no sudden illness and the possibility of sudden death was zero.
