Chapter 27 Chapter 26 Strange Poison Killing

Luo Fei almost ran all the way to the cave, but he seemed to be a step too late. Zang Junyong was staggering out of the big hole connected to the tiankeng, his posture was as if he was drunk, and he might fall down at any time. The stone steps where the exit of the tiankeng is located are three or four meters high from the ground, and there are no artificial steps to go up. Although the stones on both sides of the wall are scattered, climbing is not very difficult, but now the situation is critical, and Luo Fei has no time Thinking about it, I could only stand under the stone steps and shout: "What's wrong with you? Be careful where you step!"

Zang Junyong seemed to have heard Luo Fei's voice, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted hoarsely: "She said I was a coward... I was greedy for life and afraid of death, I am not, I... I am the bravest person on Mingze Island People!" His voice was deep and terrifying, with the feeling of sobbing, he seemed to be justifying, but also seemed to be crying, but one thing was obvious, this so-called "bravest man" was in an extreme state at this time. of fear and despair. "Dangerous! Just stay still and wait for me to come up!" Luo Fei said as he came to the stone steps and got ready to climb.

But Zang Junyong's emotions were obviously out of control, and he took two steps forward in a daze, and finally his feet were empty, and he fell straight to the ground. Luo Fei took a step forward, using all his strength to block this heavy body falling from the sky.With a muffled "plop", he felt his eyes go dark, and his chest seemed to be hit hard, and then he fell down on the hard ground, his bones almost falling apart. After a while, Luo Fei regained his composure, gently pushed away the body that was pressing on him, and stood up grinning.Fortunately, the clothes were thick, otherwise two or three ribs would have been broken, even so, now the joints are also in severe pain.But his suffering seems to have been worth it: Zang Junyong, who fell down the stone steps, appears to be intact, with no obvious trauma.

But for some reason, this burly man closed his eyes tightly and lost his sanity.Luo Fei hurriedly put his hand under his nose, it seemed that he was still breathing.Seeing this situation, the former could only give up the first-hand inspection of the scene, set up Zang Junyong, and struggled to walk out of the cave. Zang Junyong is tall and heavy, and is in a state of complete coma. It is not an easy task to carry him to walk.Luo Fei ran all the way, his physical strength was insufficient, and he was so tired that he was about to collapse when he reached the entrance of the cave.Fortunately, at this moment, he saw Li Dong walking quickly along the mountain road.

Li Dong originally came to diagnose Zang Junyong's condition, but when he heard that Zang Junyong and Luo Fei had gone to the cave one after another, he was worried, so he followed him to check, and sure enough, he encountered an abnormal situation. "Officer Luo, what's going on?" He hurried to the entrance of the cave and asked anxiously. "First...don't ask so many questions." Luo Fei panted heavily, "Quick...see, is he still... still saved?" Li Dong simply took Zang Junyong's pulse: "I'm still breathing, but it's already very weak. My medicine box is left at Zang Junyong's house, so I have to carry it there immediately for rescue."

"Then hurry up!" Luo Fei gritted his teeth and propped himself up, and Li Dong lifted Zang Junyong one after the other. Fortunately, Zang's house was not far from the cave, and within a few minutes, the two arrived at their destination. The mother and son of the Zang family realized that something was wrong, so they went forward early, and everyone rushed to carry Zang Junyong to the bed in the east room. Li Dong immediately opened the medicine box, took out the medical equipment and started first aid, while Luo Fei was exhausted. Damn, I slumped on a chair for a long time and couldn't relax.

Judging from Li Dong's expression, the situation seemed to be getting more and more serious. He had been busy for five or six minutes, then shook his head helplessly, and put his hands aside. Wife Zang realized something, looked at Li Dong blankly, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Doctor Li, you have to save him, I beg you, please save him!" Li Dong could only answer sadly: "The person has passed away... I can't do anything..." For the next half an hour, Li Dong and Luo Fei were busy comforting the grieving family members.After finally persuading the mother and son to leave the scene, they were finally able to calm down and analyze the case.

"What's the cause of death?" This was Luo Fei's first concern. "Poisoned." Li Dong replied confidently, "And the poisonous substance is the poison used to exterminate rats on the island - tetramine." "Are you sure?" Luo Fei looked at Li Dong in amazement, it seemed inconceivable that he could make such a precise judgment on the cause of death so quickly. "Very sure——however, it's not because of how powerful I am, but because the facts are right in front of you. Come and see here." During the first aid, Li Dong had already noticed some abnormal phenomena, and now he asked Luo Fei again. As soon as he pointed out, he first opened the nostrils of the deceased with a pair of tweezers, "Do you see the nose hairs inside? There is white powder on them, although not much, but it is still very obvious. Look here again, on the beard and even the lips I am familiar with these powders—and I did a simple drug identification just now—it is Tetramine.”

Luo Fei nodded, expressing his approval of Li Dong's analysis, then he pinched his chin puzzledly: "How did the tetramine powder appear in his nostrils and mouth? Could it be that someone forced him to swallow it?" Soon, Luo Fei shook his head and denied his own judgment. With Zang Junyong's physique, if he wanted to force him to take poison, it would be difficult for only one or two people. Li Dong also scratched his head in puzzlement.It stands to reason that no matter whether it is taken by mistake or poisoned by someone, the poison must be dissolved in water or mixed with food. In short, it should be difficult for the poisoner to detect.The poisonous substance appeared so clearly in the mouth and nose of the deceased, and such a strange way of poisoning was really unheard of.

With doubts, Luo Fei leaned in front of the corpse to observe carefully, and soon, he found something else, pointing to the cuffs of the deceased and said to Li Dong: "Look here, there are also his front, knees and elbows, these The place has also been stained with tetramine, but because of the color of the clothes, it is not so obvious. Well, when we moved him just now, it also fell off a lot. However, you can still find the clues if you look closely." Indeed, at the locations Luo Fei pointed out, traces of tetramine powder remained vaguely. "It's strange, then how did he get poisoned? Could it be that he used to lie on a lot of tetramine?" Li Dong said with a self-deprecating wry smile. Although this speculation is consistent with the residual poison, it is also It's so exaggerated and completely illogical.

Luo Fei was silent for a moment, and whispered to himself: "It seems that if you want to find out the answer, you must go to the scene to take a look." "The scene? Where is the scene?" Luo Fei's eyes flickered, and he said two place names in succession: "Tiankeng, Guiwangpo!" When the "Ghost Shadow" disappeared from the "Ghost Watching Slope" not long ago, Luo Fei already suspected that there would be a hidden cave connected to the "Ghost Watching Slope", but there was no way to guess the more detailed situation.After learning that Zang Junyong was going to the cave, Luo Fei immediately realized that the entrance to the passage connecting "Ghost Watching Slope" was in the cave.At the same time, he also understood the purpose of the "ghost" appearing during the day: Zang Junyong, as the owner of the cave, must know the secret path leading to the "Ghost Watching Slope". Will go to check, which gives the other party a chance to do harm. Although Luo Fei deduced the causal relationship, everything was still done according to the other party's plan, which made him feel extremely annoyed.He originally thought that he had controlled the situation and that he was sure of victory, but it was this mentality of underestimating the enemy that allowed the opponent to succeed again.From this point of view, the death of Zang Junyong will undoubtedly make Luo Fei fall into a deep self-blame. From another point of view, Luo Fei secretly admired the opponent's performance.So far, this mysterious "ghost" has not only taken the lead every step of the way, but also accurately cut off the clues Luo Fei is looking for time and time again, and its methods are not ingenious: according to the different psychological weaknesses of the victims, they use different methods to solve the problem. Not the same.This time, only Zang Junyong would go there rashly for his appearance and temptation, and all of these were accurately counted by him, and his thoughtfulness was so meticulous that it was daunting. However, today's actions also cost her opponent a heavy price. She appeared in broad daylight, and she exposed too many things.In order to prevent the exposure of the truth, she has almost reached the point of desperation, why is this?What kind of motivation is supporting her? Annoyance, awe, confusion, all these emotions will only have one effect on Luo Fei: to arouse his fighting spirit even more.He arranged for Li Dong to continue studying the corpse, while he himself took a flashlight and went to the tiankeng in the cave to inquire about the unsolvable mysteries. After entering the entrance of the tiankeng, Luo Fei found that the situation was more complicated than he imagined.In addition to a straight passage upwards, there are two natural openings in the pit, and the depths lead to nowhere.Fortunately, Luo Fei's sense of direction has always been good. He calmed down and judged carefully for a while, and felt that the hole on the right was more likely to lead to the direction of "Ghost Watching Slope", so he leaned forward and walked in. The cave is winding and winding, sometimes steep and sometimes slow, but there is always an upward slope.Luo Fei moved forward all the way, using both hands and feet when difficult, and his speed was not slow.After walking about two to three hundred meters, the passage gradually became narrower. At first, you could bend down and walk, but then you could only crawl on your knees. Going forward, I saw a small section of the cave that was only the size of a wellhead. It seems that we can only crawl forward. Of course, such difficulties could not frighten Luo Fei. With the flashlight in his mouth, he bent down and burrowed into the hole.After climbing two steps, I only felt a dull pain in my knees and elbows, and my cheeks involuntarily rubbed against the cold stone wall.Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, he realized something, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat! At this moment, he understood the way the other party poisoned Zang Junyong and saved his own life. Zang Junyong didn't lie on top of a pile of tetramine, but climbed over a pile of tetramine! His knees, elbows, front collar, mouth and nose, etc. were stained with tetramine, which were also the parts of his body that were in contact with the stone wall now.It is conceivable that the poison came into contact with the victim during a similar crawl! Luo Fei quickly held his breath, and searched the nearby stone walls with a flashlight.Soon, he found that there was a piece of white powder scattered about 30 centimeters in front of his forehead. The powder had obviously been touched by someone, and there were traces of spreading to both ends. Luo Fei's heart was beating rapidly, and he said secretly: "It's dangerous!"That pile of white powder was naturally the poison rat that killed Zang Junyong.If I hadn't been vigilant in advance and crawled all the way, I would have sucked a lot of deadly poison powder into my mouth and nose! Sprinkling rat poison on such a necessary path and letting the anxious walker inhale it during breathing is indeed a clever way of poisoning.It can be said that when Zang Junyong stepped into this cave, he stepped into the gate of hell.And Luo Fei himself narrowly escaped death. But despite being shocked, Luo Fei can now be sure that he is on the right path.He took out the white gloves he carried with him from his pocket, carefully collected the powder, then took a deep breath, and crawled across the "dangerous zone" holding his breath.Afterwards, the cave gradually opened up again. After walking for a while, he vaguely felt a cool breeze blowing by. Luo Fei was overjoyed, knowing that he was close to the exit. Sure enough, after turning a corner, a little light appeared in the cave, and after walking for a while, the light became stronger and stronger, and the entrance of the cave finally appeared in front of us. Luo Fei walked to the entrance of the cave, and saw that he was standing on a steep mountain wall. Looking out, he saw the East Village at the foot of the mountain.And not far below the entrance of the cave, the eagle-beak-shaped rock is impressively visible, and this is indeed "Ghost Watching Slope"! An old tree is rooted in the cave, but it grows meanderingly, and leans out tenaciously into the sunlight outside the cave. Obviously, this is the branch where the "ghost" stayed just now. The sea wind whizzed past outside the cave, and the vines growing on the rock wall twisted with the wind, and now they happened to cover the old tree.Everything in front of him is verifying Luo Fei's previous conjecture. It's just that the ghost was nowhere to be found. According to Zang Junyong's last words, he had encountered a "ghost" before, so where did this guy who has never seen the end of the dragon go? Luo Fei thought of another hole at the entrance of the tiankeng. Obviously, he would not be reconciled if he didn't explore there. Half an hour later, Luo Fei appeared in another cave. Contrary to the cave leading to "Ghost Watching Slope", the slope of this cave is all the way down, and it is always spacious and easy to walk.There are even several "melting halls" like rooms on the way.In some "melting halls", there will be one or two forks in the road. Luo Fei didn't think about it carefully. The eyes opened up, and they came to a huge cave again. Luo Fei was surprised at first, but when he calmed down and took a closer look, he realized that this was still the cave discovered by Zang Junyong, but he turned around and drilled out from the bottom of the cave.Looking around again, there are more than a dozen similar openings on the mountain wall of the cave. Luo Fei was stunned for a moment, and finally smiled wryly in his heart: That's it. Inside the mountain, with the large cave discovered by Zang Junyong as the center, there are countless passages and small caves extending in all directions and connecting with each other, forming an intricate natural geographical wonder! It is almost impossible to find a hidden "ghost" in such a world.Luo Fei frowned tightly, he had to come up with a better way.
