Some rooms have holes in the ceiling to spray poison into the room and are soundproofed so no one can hear what's happening inside.
Others were installed with heat systems, capable of turning the room into a giant oven, quickly baking nine poor customers sleeping inside.
Some rooms contain a slide to move the corpse to the floor, where a crematorium, lime pit and acid bath are used to destroy the body.
