One of the “The Great Tigers” wrote about a murder in a suspicious room, with a brain burn, when he was in L.A., and the killer was in front of him.
The reasoning in this case is very impressive. Uncle pulled him over and shared the case with you.
During his time in office, my grandfather had encountered a very strange murder in a secret room, and every time he mentioned it to us, the concussion of the brain caused a chill on his back.
The case occurred in the outskirts of our city in the 1960s, although nominally it was a suburban village, but because of the construction of a State-owned factory, where the workers had reached the town’s standard after settlement, my grandfather, Tau, was a public security officer in the commune where the village was located.
One morning, the local prison captain, Han, received a report from an old woman that her home had been thrown into a small group of paper last night, which stated that cheap beef was being sold in the grass shed by the river. Her son, Don, who thought it was probably a communal cow who died, had been secretly killed for sale, and then came to the appointment, and did not return one night.
At that time, resources were so scarce that it was difficult to buy meat with money, and only major holiday units could make a little bit of a tooth offering. Besides, the cattle were used as a labour force in those years. Who has the guts to kill them?
The captain found the incident very strange and brought the old woman who had called the police and another member of the ward, looking all over the place near the place where the note was written, but there was no trace of Tang.
After looking for them for a while, the captain of the ward thought that there would be no leads near the shed, and then began a large-scale search in the village until he was transferred to a relatively remote abandoned warehouse nearby.
This warehouse, which was previously used to store food, was, unfortunately, half blown up during the war years and is now in danger, and has been abandoned for so long.
However, there were still a few rooms in it, and during the natural disaster some of the deserters came to the village for food, where they had lived for some time.
Captain Han felt that the possibility of hiding people was extremely high and immediately instructed his men to search the area. After entering the warehouse, Captain Han pushed several doors and found no anomaly. As everyone was about to withdraw, his young man suddenly found a door in a house that had been locked and tightly surrounded with barbed wire.
Captain Han immediately knocked on the door and shouted loudly, and a few minutes later, there was a response from inside, when they broke the locks with their tools and rescued the people inside.
There are three people trapped inside, and the missing Don Chiu is among them. He’s intact, and there’s another Zhao Chiu who is a teacher at the primary school.
However, the third man trapped was a dead man. He was hit in the head with a brick, and blood and brains were spilled.
The murder was a major event in our small town, and the police immediately intervened to investigate it.
It was established that the deceased, who was trapped in the warehouse, was an officer of the factory and that he and the son of the woman who had warned the police, Don Chiu, and the primary school teacher, Zhao Chi, were deceived into selling beef. Upon arrival in the herb shed, people suddenly fainted with the drug and woke up and found several people trapped in a secret room.
According to the statements of Don and Zhao, the three men woke up in a state of panic and exchanged information with each other, finding out that they had no contact and had not offended anyone, and wondered why they had been stunned into the place.
The three without a clue started planning to find an exit escape. The door had been touched for half a day because there was no light in the room, but after several attempts it could not be opened, it was found that it had been locked from the outside.
The doors of the warehouse, though wooden, were thick and could not be forcibly destroyed, soundproofing was good and no one could hear the screams.
The struggle continued into the middle of the night, and several people were afraid and sleepy and had to go to sleep.

Several of them were in the slumber phase until they were rescued by the captain. The surviving Don Chiu and Zhao had not realized that the man was dead at first but thought he was still awake.
When the two men were rescued, the matter went to hell quickly, and neither Don or Zhao wanted to put their lives to trial, accusing each other of murder.
The house, which used to be the data repository of the warehouse, had only one place to enter and exit from the gate, with two broken-down wooden racks opposite the wall, with bricks left behind by flowers for cooking and some of the burning oranges and rags left behind. The murder weapon is the brick on the ground. After the hostages were rescued, Captain Han saw the key to the murder: Since the door had been strangled with wire from the outside, it was possible that the kidnappers had quietly opened the door while some people were asleep and killed some of them. If there is such a possibility, why would Don and Zhao kill each other?
Captain Han immediately questioned the two men, Don and Teacher Zhao, for their statements that the warehouse was an old-fashioned building built at the end of the day, and that the door was an old-fashioned door, which they found in the dark when they were looking for an exit.
As several persons had been abducted, the kidnappers had not yet appeared and there must be external threats around them. Fearing that they would fall asleep, they would be quietly opened up and killed, and after some discussion, a wooden stick was removed from the frame and placed on the inside of the door.
When plugged into the door, even when an outsider comes into the door by force, it makes a clear noise and wakes them up. It was not until the following morning that Captain Han discovered what had been done to identify him that Tang withdrew the doorblock inside.
In conclusion, the case took place in a double-secret room where the people were unable to get out and the people outside were unable to enter.
New leads have been obtained, but the situation has become more complex. In those years, there were many cases of robbery and killings in the countryside, but for the first time such a strange case had been encountered.
After the task force was in place, my grandfather and the police officers used the same wooden stick to get the expert to do a number of experiments in order to prove that the outsiders were unable to do so.
The wooden door was very thick and was unopened, and there was an error between the side of the door and the door frame, and it could not be inserted directly with a knife, wire, etc.
As a result, the case entered a cycle of death, with two survivors inside accusing each other and outsiders being denied access. In order to solve the case, the task force identified two problems that could not be resolved:
First: In addition to these three individuals, there is a fourth suspect, who was tricked out and stunned to the kidnappers in the house. Does this fourth person have anything to do with the murder of Division? If it does, how did he get in? If it doesn’t matter, why did he kill a man in such a difficult way?
Second: It is true that three people in the house have no interest in it, and if it was not a fourth person outside the house who killed, then it must be one of the two living men who killed, but what is his motive?
When the experts asked questions, they began to prepare for the break-up, and their first suggestion was to see the blood spray on the bodies of the two survivors.
Following tests, both men bore blood from the stars, with no particularly visible spray or spatter signs, and there was little difference in blood traces.
My grandfather suggested that it might have been the killer who smashed him with a brick while sleeping with someone else. The blood stains on the two persons are difficult to distinguish because of the closeness of the three persons, the fact that they rest on their backs against the wall, the head up and the blood is not sprayed directly on the killer.
After the first attempt failed, the task force began a second test. The second method was to examine fingerprints on the murder weapon bricks, but something surprising had happened again, with both fingerprints remaining on the bricks.
Tang and Zhao acknowledged that they did touch some bricks before sleeping in order to prevent the kidnappers ‘ surprise attack because of the dark environment.
Numerous investigations were conducted and, although direct evidence was not found in the case-solving techniques, the suspicions of the two men remained unattended.
At the time, a higher education teacher was more familiar and sent a letter to the experts saying that it could be that the killer had a psychological problem while he was in a claustrophobic situation, causing mental disorder and passion.
That statement had been accepted at that time, but the idea had been abandoned because it was impossible to tell who was in trouble.
Soon, my grandfather raised the idea of whether it was possible that this part of the night, when he went to bed and slipped to the ground, that the temple had just hit the bricks and accidentally died.
However, it was examined and rejected that there were at least two injuries to the head of the deceased, apparently caused by two blows, which could not have been accidental and must have been intentional.
The police have also raised the question of whether the two were the ones who murdered the victims and then accused each other of deliberately leading the case to a deadlock that would prevent it from being solved. The answer is clearly not.
In the case of co-murders, there is no need for them to admit that they were in the house, so that the murder could be blamed on the fourth person outside the house. That is a more reasonable and risk-free answer.
Another question was raised as to whether of these three, the fourth person outside the house was an accomplice. He quietly opened the door and let the fourth person outside the house in.
However, that assumption made little sense, and if the partner in the house did so, he would in fact have put himself in the hands of a suspected murderer.
Then turned around and looked for the fourth person who had stunned them, but the so-called notes were gone and no handwriting was found. Find out who can get the chloroform and get nothing.

The case appears to have reached a dead end, and it is difficult to deal with two survivors. There is no conclusive evidence to convict them, but who is responsible for the lives of the dead?
The public security officers took a hard hit and tried to make it easier. But no matter what the trial, the two men were dead and they were determined not to admit their crimes.
Release them, the crowd and the leaders agree, and it is clear that the murderer is in there, and that his social danger must be a danger.
Both had to remain in custody, and the PSP looked forward to new evidence.
Soon after, another letter came from a university teacher who had raised the fear of claustrophobia. He suggested that the two parties should be taken back to the scene, that the door should again be locked, and that they should be left inside to recover, to see if they could remember anything.
The public security officers found it feasible to return the two men to the secret room immediately as planned and to close the door with wire. That was a useful move, and both of them did recall some details.
According to both accounts, the part of the murder appeared to be more emotional and panicful than the two of them, and had been shouting in their throats that someone was trying to harm him.
Tang Chi added that there was a feeling that someone was touching his feet, but it was not clear whether it was a dream or real, because the drug effects were still working.
Although new discoveries have been made, these are unheavy details, and breakthrough leads to solve the case have still not been found.
The case was delayed for another two months, generating great public interest. Although the modus operandi of the case was not as brutal as it was, it was complicated by the particulars of the case, which were particularly strange and difficult to explain.
The views of those involved in the case and the public opinion at the time largely excluded the killing of a fourth person outside the house. That means that one of the two survivors must be the killer.
The case has been thrown into the province, and a special academic discussion session has reportedly been held to study how to deal with two of the most serious allegations of complete equality of opportunity.
The two were workers, one was a teacher, the other was a human being, social relations, physical and psychological treatment, none of which showed any problem, and both of them killed each other.
Several rounds of meetings were held, several experienced interrogation specialists were replaced, and even a number of psychological tests prepared abroad were undetected.
And the man who started the mystery, it gave rise to speculation. The man acted with great care and took three men without leaving any clues. He also has the ability to obtain chloroform and to understand its anaesthesia, which shows that he has some social status and cultural qualities.
Now that chloroform is industrial material, it’s for hospital anaesthesia when it’s poor, and it’s more controlled. How does he do that?
Nobody knows why he did it. If he wants to kill someone, why don’t he just do it? If he wanted to transfer the murder suspect to two other people through the secret room, the door would be locked by the door of the three inside. How did the killer get in?
Finally, two months later, when my grandfather and his grandfather visited the scene again, they found a small crack!
The wall behind the wooden shelf where the data was kept had several rectangular holes, such as nails.
Because the walls were bare bricks, the holes were not deep enough to reach the outside, and there was no possibility of damaging the secret room, so the previous inspection had not been too careful.
But my grandfather found these holes very strange. This nail hole is a lot bigger than the normal one, and it’s hidden behind the frame, so my grandfather thought these little holes might be the key to solving the case!
He strung these nails together with chalk and found their shapes, like a door!
There were two other public security officers and experts who did not respond. My grandfather, looking at this chalk-stamped door, was the first to recall a testimony by Don Chi that someone seemed to be messing with his feet.
If this memory of Don is true, then it’s linked to the clues of those nail holes, and my grandfather came up with a frightful plot!
My grandfather assumed that the house was not a real secret room from the moment Don was awakened, and someone had nailed a fake door to the wall.
When they first found the exit, Don and others found the door in the dark, but it felt as if it had been locked from the outside because they had found the wrong door and the wrong frame on the wall.
Because there was no light in the house, and the emotional panic and despair made both men less rational, it was not possible to distinguish it from a false door.
And where is the real door? It’s right in front of them. However, the person behind the scenes had moved the data shelf, which had been located at the front door, to the front door.
After some time, Don seemed to have touched the door, but mistakenly thought it was part of a wooden shelf. And at this point, the real door can be opened!
When I thought about it, my grandfather had a cold sweat. But he’s still incomprehensible. Why would he do that?
Soon my grandfather came to the conclusion. At that time, the killer was among the three of them.
Before they were sober, the fourth person who drew them out with beef placed the real part in the courtyard and then pretended to be part of it, hanging out with the other two, constantly misled them and convinced them that they were trapped in a secret room.
At the same time, he deliberately put a wooden stick on the inside of the door to keep everyone safe, in fact, to convince the other two that the house had become a secret room that no outsiders could enter.
When the killer finds out that Don and Zhao are asleep, he starts his next move. He again used chloroform to put the two men to sleep, and then pulled out the fake door, moved the frame of the datawood opposite, moved back to the original door and opened the real door.
At the same time, he needs to turn the sleeping Don and Zhao 180 degrees, which is the only way to make sure that when they wake up the next day they don’t look the other way.
That’s why Don found someone touching his feet.
The killer then moved in some of the equally ill-satisfactory parts of the goods, slapping them with bricks, closing the real doors, strangling them from the outside with wire and sneaking away.
It’s a trap. It’s a trap. However, the layout went to the last step, and one of the most crucial details sold out the killer!
The killer had convinced Don and Zhao that the door had been locked from the inside, but when he left the scene, he would no longer be able to do so from the inside of the door, and the double secret room could not continue.
In other words, when the killer left, the door was simply a single-heavy room locked outside.
In order to convince the two men inside that it was still a double-locked secret room, both inside and outside, the killer had a good idea.
When he left, he did not pull out the wooden stick, but instead hung it on the side of the bolt and did not fit it in the other side of the trough.
In that case, if they were awakened the next day, the two of them would know that they were about to be rescued, and the first reaction would necessarily be to pull the stick outside.
In the dark, they simply cannot tell whether a wooden stick has been inserted into the trough, and as soon as it is pulled out, the only crack in the double-secret room disappears.
They will only remember that last night it was bolted, and this morning it remained on the door.
This is a clever way to eliminate the double-collar breakdown, but at the same time it brings another break:
If the outsiders open the wire, break into the door, and the insiders wake up and unplug the wood, then the outsiders will find the door unplugged!
So, the man who opened the wire outside was so important that he had to wake up the people inside and let them do the embolism and then open the wire himself.
In this way, the whole layout will be perfect.
Having made this assumption, my grandfather invited a number of people to experiment, and they found an amazing conclusion: almost all of them, driven by a sense of salvation, discovered that the doors were tied to barbed wire and that the first reaction was to open the wire, rather than to awaken it for a few minutes.
At the time of the incident, the rescuers first beat the door, shouted the name of Tang-chi inside, and then opened the door after a few minutes when Tang-chi was able to react.
So it’s possible that the last person behind this case is this rescuer, Captain Han!

However, all this is in fact speculation, without any real evidence. My grandfather didn’t say anything. He just wrote it down.
In order to find evidence, my grandfather deliberately informed Captain Han to open a seminar in the commune and then stormed his house.
The Emperor has no heart! Under the mackerel that store food on the upper floor of Han’s house, it’s a wooden door that’s a piece of wood from the crime scene! They also found other tools like big nails and chloroform!
In the face of iron-like evidence, Captain Han finally confessed to the crime.
It turns out that Captain Han and some of his men had conspired to steal a few cattle from the neighbourhood during the three-year disaster and to profit from it. Later, the economic situation of one of the Koreans gradually improved, while one of the Koreans continued to steal in the factory, and one of the Koreans feared that if he was arrested, he would confess his previous scandal.
At that time, the theft of cattle was a serious crime that undermined agricultural production, and the theft of a few of them was punishable by death.
Fearing that someone else had told him about the theft of cattle, he decided not to kill him directly, otherwise Han would be the first suspect once the public security had traced it.
After his hard thinking, he finally set up a scene of a secret room killing, so that he could be completely locked up in Tang and Zhao’s two scapegoats, and no one would suspect him.
Although he had much to say in the same room as Don Joo, he had played a part of the night in which he was nervous and, naturally, his voice was very different from the usual, and he was still undetected when he turned to solve the case in his capacity as head of the prison.
Later, he was asked why he had to use two instead of one. There might not be a debate now.
Captain Han said that if there was only one person in the house, he could totally deny that the secret room had been stung from the inside, so that the suspicion could still be attributed to the outsider, and the two had a very different effect.
Tang and Zhao knew that they had not killed and that anyone who lied that the door had not been locked would be considered a murderer, so that two people in the room could only kill each other, leaving the case in an almost incomprehensible cycle of death.
After the first hit, Han found the idea to be good, safe and effective, and could be used again. Moreover, only two of the suspects were locked in a secret room and would not have been searched at all, so that no false doors had been destroyed.
In addition, Han, in his capacity as head of the health care unit, had been involved in the theft of a hospital, where he was very familiar with the location of chloroform and the measures taken to prevent it, and had taken a few vials along the road.
When the case was closed, everyone was convinced by the killer’s head. Such a sophisticated mind is not used to maintain public order. Every time Grandpa talks about it, he can’t stop groaning. Case number: YX11b9M0lLn
I don’t know.
Keep your eyes on the road.
