Entrances and passages are hardened with concrete. Four or five meters into the passage, there is an iron door. The cramped space was completely sealed by this iron door. But when Li Zhudao and Lu Kai came in, the iron door was not locked. This shows that the people who came out from here at that time should be in a hurry.
Pushing open the iron door, there is a different world, with two rooms behind it.
The first room has a space of more than twenty square meters. There is a wooden sofa placed against the wall directly opposite the iron door. There is a very strange-looking chair in the middle of the room, and in front of the chair is a table. The front of the chair is opposite to the sofa.
It is a large, simple, heavy wooden chair with straps on the armrests, backrest, seat and legs. The chair legs are firmly fixed to the ground. The leather strap on the chair leg close to the ground has a layer of sponge inside and a wire connected to the outside.
There is a leather hood on the table. The inside of the hood is also a sponge, and a wire is fixed on the outside.
The wires from the hood and chair legs lead to another room inside. In that room is the electrical control system, with two wires connected to it.
Examination confirmed it was an electric chair.
Contrary to popular belief, electric chairs are not energized and current does not pass through any part of the chair. Therefore, any sturdy, non-conductive chair can be used as an electric chair to administer shocks or executions.
When you sit in the electric chair, you become part of a closed circuit. The human body is only used to connect two electrodes to allow current to pass through, that is, input from the head through the headgear, output from the wire at the ankle, and finally return the current to the power source.
When delivering an electric shock, the sponges on the headgear and chair leg straps will be soaked in water to ensure that the current is evenly input and output to the human body. At the same time, remove leg hair from the ankles.
But it is not the voltage that tortures people, or that can cause death.
Voltage is like a pump that pumps electricity, electricity is like water in a pipe, wires are the pipes, and the bigger the pump, the more water moves through the pipes. When delivering an electric shock to a person, what is fatal is actually the amperage, that is, the intensity of the current passing through the human body. Just one ampere can kill someone.
So how is the electric chair used to torture people and how to cause death?
Basically all the batteries in the human body will be depolarized, which means ordering the human body to work.
If one neuron in the brain is responsible for inhaling and another neuron is responsible for exhaling, stimulating these two neurons at the same time will cause confusion in the "instructions" of inhaling and exhaling, making the human body unable to inhale and exhale.
The functions of the heartbeat and other body systems are the same. Activating these neurons in the brain at the same time will cause various "instructions" to be confused and the entire system to be completely overloaded. Just like the computer's CPU suddenly issues all instructions, it will naturally cause the system to be overloaded and cause chaos, leading to a crash or downtime.
This is also the reason why people who suffer electric shocks in many movies and TV shows have scenes such as drool, nose, tears, foaming at the mouth, and incontinence of urine and feces.
In short, the electric chair tortures or kills people by completely overloading the human body and causing confusion, causing the brain to short-circuit and eventually the heart to stop beating.
In some countries, when statutory electrocution (the death penalty) is implemented, two shocks are administered.
The first wave of high-voltage electricity stops the brain and nervous system. These nerves lead to the brain, heart, arms, internal organs, and mouth. This usually causes permanent brain death, but it may not be enough to stop the heartbeat. In some people, the heart will continue to beat. , the muscles will still contract and the face will be distorted.
The forensic doctor at the scene has to wait until the victim's heart stops to declare death. Therefore, a second shock of lower voltage and current is administered. This can cause heart fibrillation, causing the muscles to lose rhythm, causing a heart attack. Some people may die immediately due to cardiac arrest, while others may suffer for a while, but their final result is only one: until the heart stops beating, completely until death.
The design intention of the electric chair is "good". The designer believes that this method of punishment is more "merciful" and the execution method is more "humane". Its designer and inventor is the famous Edison.
Behind the room with the electric chair is a larger underground space. There is a wall between the two, and there is a doorway, but there is no door.
The most eye-catching thing in this room is the horizontal
There was a huge long table placed in the center of the room. The tabletop was uneven and had many small cracks made by knives and axes. The blood stains in the cracks had turned black. It looked like a butcher's table where pigs were killed and sold. Wider, longer and thicker than a butcher table.
There are seven or eight arc-shaped iron hooks hanging on the table. In the vegetable market, the legs and feet of such large livestock are often hung on the vendors selling pork, beef and mutton. The iron hooks here are exactly the same as those used to hang the legs and feet in the vegetable market.
There are several large drawers under the desktop, one of which contains a variety of knives. There are broad, sturdy machetes that look exactly like the "pig-killing knives" used by "Ling Lingqi"; there are bloodletting knives with sharp tips and streamlined blades; there are skinning knives with raised blades used to separate skin and flesh; There are thick boning knives; there are boning knives with shorter blades and sharp tips used to separate bones from meat; and there are thinner and wider meat cleavers.
The middle drawer contains a few small hammers, a leather whip and a small steel ax; there is also a transparent plastic box containing thin iron picks with sharp ends that look like toothpicks; and There was a leather whip and a small steel ax; there were bottles and jars of salt and paprika.
The last drawer contained only one thing: a chainsaw.
Under the "butcher table" is a sewer, paved with hollowed-out miniature cement slabs. There are obvious human hairs in the hollows of the cement boards and the small joints connecting each other.
There is an electric pot for stewing soup in the lower right corner of the "butcher table". It has been opened and contains a skull and two palm bones. This seems to mean that the "murderer" put the head and palms of the "victim" into the pot to stew soup.
This also quickly reminded Li Zhudao of "White Earth Copywriting". In order to destroy Wang Fang's face and fingerprints, Li Haidong stewed her head and palms into a pot of soup.
These two methods are exactly the same, what does it mean? Was it the work of the same person, or was it just a coincidence?
The hair, skull, and palm bones made Li Zhudao and Lu Kai basically confirm that this should be a dismemberment site.
Who was the dismembered person? Is it Wen Zhong or someone else? If it was Wen Zhong, who would be the murderer? Could it be Li Haijun? If the victim is not Wen Zhong, then the murderer is most likely Wen Zhong.
This ghost place has complete water and electricity equipment and good ventilation. People will not feel the discomfort of breathing difficulty in it. It has all kinds of "torture instruments" and equipment for torturing people, killing people, and dismembering corpses. It looks like it was specially set up. This place belongs to Wen Zhong. Who is Wen Zhong?
In addition, there are two wooden frames against the wall on the left and right sides. There are all kinds of strange things on the wooden shelves. There are maces, soldering iron awls, coal stoves, buckets and towels, chain handcuffs, thick rope wires, sticks, etc.
This underground space is now filled with criminal police officers from Qinghe City, taking photos, collecting fingerprints, collecting biometric information, and sealing items at the scene.
"Is this Wen Zhong a military commander?" Lu Kai stood in front of the wooden frame and muttered. Then he looked at a roller covered with iron nails on the wooden frame and muttered again in confusion: "The bucket and the I can understand the towel, which is to put a towel on a person's face and then pour water on the towel to make people feel suffocated. But what is this iron roller used for?"
Li Zhudao was also baffled. Although he was well-informed, when he saw these messy "torture instruments", he felt as if "Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden."
Xiao Wu rolled his eyes and said, "This is the 'Wearing Ma and Wearing Miao'. I saw it when I was traveling in Zhazi Cave. The tour guide said that it is a round thing covered with iron nails that is used to roll on people's bodies." , pierce the body, then put a salt water cloth on it, and then remove it after the cloth is dry."
Seeing Li Zhudao and Lu Kai both take a breath, Xiao Wu continued: "This Wen Zhong must have received a lot of inspiration from the military commanders of the past. Many of the equipment in his basement are somewhat similar to the Zhazi Cave. The one I just mentioned, 'Wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning, the electric chair outside..."
Then he pointed to the middle drawer under the "butchering table" and said, "There are also the thin iron picks and chili powder there. They are all the creepy things in the Zhazi Cave."
West. "
Lu Kai took a few steps forward and looked at the neatly arranged iron toothpicks in the transparent plastic box in the drawer. He was still quite puzzled: "Chili powder is used to make chili pepper water and is sprinkled on people's wounds. This iron toothpick is made of Come to stab someone?"
Xiao Wu suddenly felt itchy on the tips of his ten fingers. He kept waving his palms in front of Lu Kai's eyes. After he finished, he spread out his ten fingers and faced Lu Kai with the back of his hands, letting him see his nails: "There is a Punishment is called 'piercing nails with bamboo sticks'..."
Lu Kai couldn't help but waved his fingers.
Unsurprisingly, Wen Zhong's discovery in the basement shocked the Qinghe police and attached great importance to it.
On the surface, Wen Zhong, who seems to be just an ordinary businessman, does what exactly does he do? And why did it "disappear" out of thin air for no reason? Is Li Haijun, who is his business partner, related to his "disappearance"?
Of these two people, one disappeared and the other died in a car accident. Qu Lulu, who seemed to have a "relationship" with both of them, immediately became the focus of great attention from the police. No matter whether it is true or not that the story about you, Qu Lulu, was cheating on you, let’s first get to the bottom of your past.
Therefore, the Qinghe police took a multi-pronged approach. On the one hand, various technical analyzes were carried out on the biological information collected in the basement, including fingerprint identification and DNA detection and comparison, and at the same time, the details of Wen Zhong, Li Haijun and Qu Lulu were dug into. On the other hand, Qu Lulu was summoned immediately.
Further in-depth cooperation between Qinghe police and Li Zhudao and his party has become inevitable.
