Lan Keer was missing for three weeks and was found in a water tower. Hotel guests drank corpse water for eight days. What was the cause of death?

In the 1930s and 1940s, the Cecil Hotel was extremely popular and represented prestige and wealth in Los Angeles. However, as time went by, the Cecil Hotel gradually became dilapidated and house prices also changed. It is very cheap, and it has become a paradise for some criminals, with several unsolved murder cases taking place.

One of the most famous unsolved cases is the "Black Dahlia" case. "Dahlia" Short was naked and dismembered. The murderer has not been found so far. The "Black Dahlia" case also reminds people of Blue Dahlia. Kerr incident.

Ke’er Lan is a Chinese-Canadian from Vancouver. Her parents are Chinese from Hong Kong, China. The 21-year-old Ke’er Lan is a student at Columbia University. On January 31, 2013, her family and Ke’er Lan After losing contact, they chose to call the police, and the American police immediately started investigating.

They discovered during the surveillance that the last place Lan Keer appeared was the Cecil Hotel in the slums of Los Angeles. The public security in this area was chaotic and there were many drug dealers gathered. They destroyed the surrounding surveillance cameras. The police had to look for Lan Keer from the hotel's surveillance system.

After two weeks of fruitless search, under pressure, the police released the videotape. The videotape was taken before her disappearance on January 31. The video is nearly 4 minutes long. In the video, Lan Keer After entering the hotel elevator, she pressed all the floors, and then hid in the blind corner of the elevator surveillance.

After about 10 seconds, the elevator did not move up or down. She walked out of the elevator carefully and stood outside for about 30 seconds. Then she returned to the elevator and pressed the elevator button again. But after a while, She walked out again, dancing and seeming to be shouting something.

What’s even more strange is that Lan Keer was folding her fingers as if counting her fingers. After about 15 seconds, Lan Keer disappeared. During these 4 minutes, the elevator door was never closed. Her various behaviors have aroused crazy speculation from all walks of life, and some people even believe that she encountered a "supernatural event".

Many people have come up with evidence. When Lan Keer pressed the elevator button, she did not press the 14th floor button. This shows that she was on the 14th floor at the time. Coincidentally, she was on the 14th floor in 1984. There lived a Ramirez nicknamed "Midnight Stalker" who killed 14 women. It was really chilling, but it was just a coincidence after all.

Just when the case was at a loss in the third week, a guest at the Cecil Hotel complained about insufficient water pressure, so the staff went to the roof to check the water tank. He found a body, which was Lan Keer. But what is even more puzzling is that the body usually floats after being in the water for a period of time, but Lan Keer sank to the bottom of the water tank with his head and feet.

Because the water tank was too deep, the firefighters could only drain the water and saw off the side of the water tank before taking out Lan Ke'er. According to the media, when they found Lan Ke'er, she was She was completely naked. Judging from the condition of the water tank, Lan Keer must have committed suicide because there was a lock leading to the roof. Forcibly opening it would trigger the alarm.

When Lan Keer’s body was found in the water tank on the 20th, it caused a panic among the hotel residents. One of the British tourists who checked in 8 days ago said that she felt that the water smelled weird at that time. But she thought the water quality in Los Angeles was like this, but she didn't expect that she drank corpse water for eight days in a row.

Since the Lan Keer incident spread, all major states in the United States have paid attention. Li Changyu, the Chinese police chief in Connecticut, has also conducted research. He believes that this is indeed a homicide, and the murderer is in In the Cecil Hotel, Lan Keer's various behaviors were all asking for help.

Because she may have been drugged at the time, but because each state has its own laws, Li Changyu could not intervene. Now that he has retired, he has no authority to investigate the matter, and the Lan Keer incident will always become a puzzle.
