Chapter 65 The Strange Death of a Musician

The capital of Sweden, Stockholm, is the birthplace of Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.One day, a strange explosion occurred in its city.A single musician had just returned home from outside. When he was practicing his trumpet in the room on the second floor, an explosion occurred in the room, and the musician died instantly.

When the police inspected the scene, they found that there were some thin glass shards mixed with the shards of window glass. It may be that a glass containing gunpowder on the table next to the music stand exploded.Oddly, there was no source of fire in the chamber, and no fragments of the timed detonation device could be found.If it is not a time bomb, why is the timing detonated so accurately?It's incredible, according to the testimony of neighbors, the deceased was practicing playing high-pitched tunes with a trumpet before the explosion.

As a result, the police immediately saw through the criminal's methods. They really deserved to be the police in the hometown of Nobel, the king of explosives!

So, do you know how it detonated?
[Answer] The criminal sneaked into the house when the victim was out and no one was at home, and mixed a mixture of ammonia solution and iodine into the gunpowder.If iodine is added to the ammonia solution, it is safe and harmless in the wet state.But once dry, its sensitivity is even higher than that of TNT explosives, and even a high-volume vibration will cause an explosion.

Therefore, the moment the victim played the high-pitched tune with the trumpet, the sound shook the explosives in the beaker and caused an explosion.
