Chapter 55 The Mystery of the Water Corpse
Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and, in terms of transparency, it is also second to none.From the surface of the water, you can even see the depth of 40 meters in the water.

Just one summer morning, a floating male body was found on the surface of Lake Baikal, and a small boat was overturned on the water and floating with the body.It seems that the boat was overturned by the waves blown by the wind during the boat tour, causing the boat to capsize and kill people.The presumed time of death was around [-] o'clock the night before.The deceased was a draftsman at a machinery factory on the southwestern shore of the lake, and lived in a single dormitory in a five-story building.His room was on the first floor because of his fear of heights.

"He can't swim!" The police went to his factory to learn about the situation from his colleagues.

"I often see him go swimming in the swimming pool of the gymnasium. He can swim like ordinary people. Therefore, when the boat capsized and fell into the water, he probably died of heart paralysis. Because the water temperature of Lake Baikal is very high even in summer. Low." The colleagues replied.

However, the police suddenly noticed something, and immediately concluded clearly: "Even if it is a drowning death, it is not a boating accident, but a homicide where criminals faked a boat capsizing accident."

So why is this?

[Answer] The police remembered that the deceased had a fear of heights and lived on the first floor of a single dormitory.People who have a phobia of heights are as afraid of looking down from high-rise buildings as they are afraid of taking a boat trip to the deep sea and lakes.When taking a small boat, as long as you look under the water from the side of the boat, you will feel dizzy and your legs will feel weak.A person with a fear of heights would never go boating in a lake by himself.
