Chapter 30 Chapter Fourteen Mysterious Toxin

In the dead of night, outside the mysterious air-raid shelter, I suddenly found a figure hiding in the darkness.I think the other party must not be full, that's why he came for a walk in such a gloomy place! Zhen Zhen also saw this sneaky figure, but perhaps because she still had lingering fears about the hidden mirror ghost, she didn't rush directly to catch him as usual, but picked up a small stone on the ground and threw it over. The stone sank into the darkness, and the screams sounded immediately. The voice of the other party made me feel familiar, and I knew who the other party was after a little thought.Zhen Zhen didn't seem to be able to distinguish the other party's identity, but at least she was sure that the other party was a person, not an ethereal ghost, and immediately rushed into the darkness.

After a while, Zhen Zhen walked out from the shadow of a tree with a crying child in her hand, and said, "It's so late, why are you here to play and not go home?" When the child appeared under the hazy moonlight, my guess was confirmed—he was Jianqin. Jianqin took Zhenzhen's hand and walked over, weeping as he walked, "I'm sorry, I was just playing for a while, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." "Why do you keep apologizing to me? I threw stones at you, so I should apologize to you." Zhen Zhen had a guilty look on her face. Jianqin didn't seem to hear what she said, and kept saying "I'm sorry".When they came to me, I wanted to squat down and talk to Jianqin.Just now in the air-raid shelter I got four claws from the ghost of the hidden mirror. Although the effect of the neurotoxin has disappeared, the wound is still painful, so I managed to get down on one knee.

"Jianqin, don't cry, the police sister didn't know you were hiding behind the tree, she thought it was a thief, so she threw the stone over." I patted his little head to comfort him. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just playing for a while..." He was still repeating what he said just now, making me wonder if he was overly frightened. "Where did my sister throw you, did you hit your head?" He kept covering his forehead with his hand, so I wanted to remove his hand to see if he was seriously injured.If Zhen Zhen throws a concussion, it will be in big trouble.

Although his left forehead was swollen a lot, but he didn't bleed, so I don't think the problem should be serious.However, when he removed his hand, he found that his palm was stained with oil.I immediately grabbed his hand and asked seriously, "Did you touch the rope tied to the tree at the entrance of the cave just now?" Like an electric shock, he suddenly withdrew his hands and backed away quickly, perhaps because he was too panicked, he accidentally tripped.As he fell to the ground, a yellow lighter fell out of his trouser pocket. Zhenzhen stepped forward to help him up, and said to me in a reproachful tone: "Why are you losing your temper with Jianqin again, you will frighten him like this!"

I walked forward with difficulty, picked up the lighter that Jianqin dropped, and waved it in front of her: "The reason why he kept saying 'sorry' to us is because he was the one who lit the rope." Zhen Zhen froze for a moment, then put both hands on Jianqin's shoulders, and asked nervously: "Really? You set fire to the rope tied to the tree? Why did you do that?" Jianqin burst into tears suddenly, Zhenzhen realized that she had lost her composure, and immediately comforted him gently.After Zhen Zhen patiently comforted him, his crying finally subsided, and he told us what happened while sobbing.

It turned out that he remembered what happened in the afternoon, and came over quietly after school, and found that we hadn't left yet, so he wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on me.The "revenge" he mentioned certainly didn't mean wanting my life.All he wanted was some shit for me to step on, or grab a caterpillar and throw it at me. He then caught a bug in the woods, only to run back to find us about to enter the dugout.He thought it would take a while for us to come out after entering the hole, so he ran to play first, planning to come back to "revenge" after a while.

However, when he came back from playing, he found that the worm was missing. It was already dark and it was not easy to catch another worm.When he was thinking about how to get revenge on me, he noticed the rope tied to the tree at the entrance of the cave. In fact, he had no intention of burning the rope, but he thought that after lighting the rope, the flame would only burn along the rope and finally burn to me, which scared me a lot.So when he found out that the rope had been burned, he was very panicked, afraid that we would be like the fourth brother and the others, unable to come out.

He knew that he had caused a catastrophe, and he was afraid that he would be beaten and scolded by his father when he returned home, so he didn't dare to go home, and kept hiding behind the tree, hoping that we could find a way to leave the air-raid shelter. "So it's like this, don't cry, we'll be fine now." Zhen Zhen gently comforted Jian Qin who was still sobbing. I looked at the lighter that fell from Jianqin's trouser pocket and thought about a crucial question.Maybe this question can be answered by Jianqin, but he is very afraid of me now, and only answers my question with howls.In desperation, I had no choice but to send him home first, and wait for a chance to ask him tomorrow.

After sending him into the house, his father, Wang Liang, scolded him and apologized to us. "Don't blame him too much. It's common for children to make mistakes. Teach him to distinguish between right and wrong, so just don't do it again." I offered Wang Liang a cigarette, but he politely declined and said he didn't smoke.I took out the lighter that fell from Jianqin's body and showed it to him, and asked, "Does this lighter belong to your family?" He shook his head and said, "No, there is a lighter on the shrine at my house, and I use it to burn incense to my ancestors in the evening. You must not belong to my house." His answer verified my doubts.

When I left Jianqin's house, Zhenzhen asked me what to do now, because Jianqin was the one who broke the rope, not Mr. Lu whom we suspected before, which means that the information Xiaoxiang gave us was probably false. "He provided us with false information. He didn't have a ghost in his heart, what could it be?" Zhen Zhen's eyes had a firm light, but at the same time, there was a trace of worry. "We can't be sure that Xiaoxiang lied to us yet." I smiled back at her. "You're so sentimental, it's impossible to find out the truth." Her worry had turned into reproach.

She was worried that I would not be able to accept it for a while, and that I would be deceived by the most trusted accomplice, which is why I was so nervous.Although I did feel confused because Xiaoxiang was involved in this case, now I can analyze every problem rationally. The Xiaoxiang I know is a person who will not lie casually.Integrity aside, one of the main reasons he doesn't lie is because no matter how perfect a lie is, there must be loopholes, and more lies are needed to plug the loopholes.However, more lies inevitably lead to more mistakes and omissions, which is an endless vicious circle. The best way to deal with this thorny issue is not to lie, or to tell only part of the truth.This is often the case in the world. Even if there is evidence for what is said, it does not mean that what is said is the whole truth.Telling only part of the truth can sometimes have the effect of lying without being exposed.For example, if I only say 1+1, the other party will definitely think that the answer is 2. Although 1+1 is a fact, it is only a part of the fact. If the whole of the fact is 1+1=1, then the answer will be completely different. If it is illustrated with examples, the most common example is the entertainment industry.For example, if a male movie star says that he is not married, fans will subjectively think that he is single.But in fact he is not only not single, he has even given birth to several children.But he wasn't lying, because he wasn't married to his partner.However, not registering a marriage in the legal sense does not prevent him from being the husband of his partner and the father of his child. This is the "art of lying" that Xiaoxiang taught me in the past, and I don't think he will forget it so soon.Therefore, I believe what he said is true, and Mr. Lu must have a problem.However, whether Teacher Lu is related to the case we are investigating is another matter. "Don't worry, I won't be emotional anymore." I showed Zhen Zhen the lighter that Jianqin dropped, "Do you have any impression of this lighter?" She took the lighter and glanced at it casually, then said: "It's just an ordinary lighter, you can buy it in any convenience store, so you won't have any impression." "That's because you didn't pay attention." I took the lighter back and lit a cigarette for myself, "This lighter has been used for a while, and there is not much gas left in it, and it is yellow. Think about it Where have you seen it?" After frowning and thinking seriously for a long time, she seemed to have noticed the clue, and replied solemnly: "I didn't expect that." I almost fell to the ground, and said angrily, "We just met last night. Doesn't Mr. Lu use the same lighter when he lights cigarettes?" "Really? I didn't notice these details." She frowned again, "Even if it is, what does that mean?" "You are so stupid." I tapped her on the head, "We borrowed the rope from Mr. Lu, and he said that he accidentally poured the oil on the rope, but this is just a one-sided statement. Except for him, No one can tell whether it was an accident or on purpose. And only he knows that we went into the air-raid shelter to search, if Jianqin got the lighter that lit the rope from him, don't you think it's strange?" "It seems that there is really a problem..." She nodded with a vague understanding. I continued to analyze it for her: "Jianqin doesn't have a deep hatred with us. If it weren't for a combination of many factors, he wouldn't be able to burn the rope. At least he wouldn't run home to get a lighter just to burn the rope." "So, Teacher Lu ordered Jianqin to burn the rope?" She finally figured it out. I shook my head lightly: "It can't be said to be instigating, at best it's just inducing. But one thing is certain, that is, he created this condition." "Then let's question him now." She said righteously. I shook my head again: "It's not enough now, firstly, we didn't understand why he wanted to harm us; secondly, this ordinary lighter alone can't do anything to him, after all, this kind of lighter can be seen everywhere." "We can take it to the technical team and let Yuetong do the fingerprint identification!" She was still righteous. I waved the lighter in front of her eyes, and said angrily, "Look carefully, what did Jianqin do to this lighter?" The lighter was covered with oil and mud, obviously Jianqin got it there while playing, and his fingerprints may have been destroyed long ago.And even if it wasn't destroyed, there might not be Teacher Lu's fingerprints on the lighter.Since he was able to induce Jianqin so carefully, he would definitely not make such a low-level mistake. He should wipe off his fingerprints before handing them over to Jianqin. "Can we just let him go?" She said unconvinced. "Of course not. I just explained to Wang Liang that when Jianqin calmed down, he would ask where Jianqin got the lighter. As long as Jianqin proves that the lighter was obtained from Mr. Lu, everything will be fine. That's easy." She said with a smile: "That's good, let's go home and sleep first, and then go to Teacher Lu to settle the score tomorrow!" "Sleep at your house, or at my house?" "Screw you!" She kicked me suddenly, I'm a wounded man with bruises all over my body! The next day, Wang Liang called early in the morning to inform that Jianqin had admitted that the lighter was obtained from Mr. Lu.Jianqin also said that Mr. Lu was very strange last night, he was not allowed to play on the basketball court, and drove him to the open space behind the school. With such a reply, I can already confirm my inference - Mr. Lu deliberately induced Jianqin to burn our "life-saving rope".Although I really want to arrest Teacher Lu immediately and interrogate him why he harmed us, but I have more important things to do, so I have to put this matter aside for the time being. Zhen Zhen and I went to the forensic office to look for Liu Nian again. The difference from yesterday was that it was me, not Zhen Zhen, who was going to check the wound today. Last night, Zhen Zhen originally wanted me to come to her house and ask her father, Uncle Xia, to help treat the wound.But I know that if Uncle Xia is caught, he will definitely take the opportunity to test whether I am interested in his daughter.So I didn't dare to go to her house, but did some simple treatment on the wound after returning home. Fleeting Nian frowned after checking my wound, as if he was thinking about a serious problem.I thought he was just planning to tease us, so I gave him a blank look: "What the hell are you thinking?" However, things were not as I expected. He frowned and said seriously, "Your wound doesn't show any signs of inflammation." "Isn't this great?" Zhen Zhen's face was full of joy, "As long as the wound is treated in time, it won't be inflamed, just like what I did the night before." "You are different." Fleeting Nian shook his head, "After you were injured, you immediately asked someone to disinfect the wound, while Amu treated the wound after returning home. It took nearly two hours from the time of injury to the treatment of the wound. A period of time is enough for bacteria to infect the wound. More importantly, his body is not as strong as yours, unless it is disinfected immediately after the injury, it will definitely become inflamed." "Then what is the reason why my wound is not inflamed?" I asked the point directly. "I don't know." He shook his head in confusion, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll give you a detailed physical examination." "Are you worried that we will be poisoned?" I asked in amazement. He nodded and said: "Caution is the most important thing. A ghost like Cangjing Ghost is an inconceivable existence. I am worried that her claws contain some kind of even more inconceivable toxin. The reason why your wounds are not inflamed may be It is caused by a mysterious toxin in the blood." "But aren't we fine now? How could we be poisoned?" Zhen Zhen asked puzzled. "You can't just look at the surface." Fleeing Nian said seriously: "It is not necessarily a good thing that you have no inflammation. It may be that the toxins in the blood are too strong to kill all the bacteria that infect the wound, or it may be that your immune system has been damaged. The destruction of toxins can't fight bacterial infections like normal people. Either way, it's not a good thing." When he said this, Zhenzhen and I couldn't help but feel uneasy, so we had to let him do a detailed examination from head to toe, including blood pressure, body temperature and conditioned reflex, and only short of measuring height and weighing .But we worked all morning at the medical examiner's office, and the result was that everything was normal. However, looking at the results of the examination, Liu Nian not only did not relax his brows, but frowned even tighter: "Everything is normal on the surface, which only shows that this toxin is highly combined with the body and is not easy to be detected, but Ah Mu's wound is not. Inflammation is enough to indicate the existence of the problem. I must test your blood samples in detail to determine whether there is any problem with your body." His words made me faintly uneasy. The unknown is often more frightening than the known danger.However, just when I was feeling uneasy, my mobile phone rang suddenly, and it was a call from my boss: "Where did everyone go? Someone died in Wangcun Primary School, a teacher surnamed Lu died!"
