Chapter 5: The Taste of Formalin

was reprimanded by Director Liu, Yu Jin was a little unhappy, and kept muttering something along the way, Li Guozhi said: "You kid is really 'dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people'." ”

These words made me feel excited, and I hurriedly asked Li Guozhi: "Brother Zhi, what is that black thing?" Could it be toxic?"

Li Guozhi snorted coldly, I thought that he would say something earth-shattering next, but who knew that after sneering, there was no follow-up.

I'm not reconciled! In the past ten years, I often feel that I am a monkey pressed under Wuzhi Mountain, and every day I hope for a Tang monk master who can rescue me.

When I was in junior high school, whenever I saw my classmates' fathers go to school to pick them up on weekends, my heart would be pantothenic, and what was even more annoying was that when there were conflicts, people who lacked morality always liked to scold me for being a fatherless child.

In composition class, most of my classmates' dreams are to grow up to be scientists and actors, and my dream has always been to find my father.

At this moment, my mind was a little confused, but the stronger emotion was excitement, an excitement that was difficult to suppress.

Looking back on the events of that year, the sixth sense told me that my father's disappearance must have something to do with the black "briquette". Could it be that my father also came to the Yellow River back then?

No way! In any case, we must not miss the opportunity to hopefully find out the cause of his disappearance!

I tried my best to calm my pounding heart, got out of the car, Yu Jin and the others laughed and scolded back to the backyard, and I followed Li Guozhi to the courtyard where he lived.

"Is there anything else wrong with you?"

Li Guozhi just wanted to enter the door and found me following him.

"Hmm- I'd like to ask ......"

Before I could finish speaking, Li Guozhi opened the door and let me in.

Although Li Guozhi is in his 40s, he is single, and he has been living in the family home of the water conservancy station for more than a month since I came. Out of curiosity, I also asked Aunt Hu who was in charge of logistics and cooking in the station before, at first she just sighed, I asked again and again, and then told me that Li Guozhi originally had a gentle and beautiful wife, as well as a dragon and phoenix child, and the family of four was happy, which aroused the envy of many people.

The disaster happened more than ten years ago, and Aunt Hu didn't know the specific thing, as if that day their family of four rowed a boat to fish in the Yellow River, and soon after they came back, his daughter-in-law had a strange disease, and she grew yellow bumps the size of jujubes, and when it grew to a week, the pimples would burst, and an incomparably fishy green thick substance appeared, and then the skin of the whole body began to fester, and finally infected and died.

A pair of children also have the same fate, in just a few months, Li Guozhi has become a "lonely person" who everyone sympathizes.

In fact, Li Guozhi's parents are still alive, but the colleagues in the station don't know why, since that incident, he has cut off relations with his family, and in the past ten years, even if it is the Chinese New Year, he has not gone home.

This is the first time I have stepped into Li Guozhi's dormitory, the furnishings in the room are a little simple, basically the furniture that was popular in the 90s of the last century, I glanced at it, and my attention was attracted by a door on the left.

It's a security door, and it's the kind for banks and insurance companies. In fact, in this era, the security door at home is very common, but Li Guozhi lives in a unit dormitory, whether it is a house or the furniture in the house, there is a word "soil", this security door and the surrounding environment, it seems a little nondescript, and he should have nothing valuable.

"I'll eat here tonight, let's have two drinks, and I'll ask you if you have anything to say!"

After speaking, without waiting for my consent, he turned around and walked to another room, this room has no door, only a gray curtain hanging on the door frame, half a minute later, Li Guozhi raised a dirty rice cooker, turned around and took a bottle of wine and two glasses from the kitchen in the corner.

"Brother, the conditions here are poor, let's just eat hot pot!"

I rolled up my sleeves to help, but he refused.

"Sit down! There are a few magazines on the coffee table, so feel free to read them! After saying that, he turned around and walked into the room with the curtain on the door, and soon there was a rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables inside.

I picked up an old magazine and flipped through it for a few minutes, but I didn't read a single word, not even the name of the magazine.

In less than ten minutes, Li Guozhi brought out several plates of cut vegetables and two plates of dried meat.

In fact, I was very anxious, and when I thought about it, it would take an hour or two to even drink and eat, so it would be better to pretend that nothing happened. After waiting for a few more minutes, the dishes in the pot were finally cooked.

Li Guozhi didn't pick up the vegetables, but turned around and took out a black bowl from the chef in the corner, then scooped up most of the dishes, walked to the security door, stopped, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door and walked in.

Well? There shouldn't be anyone in there! Could it be that he has a small animal with a dog or a cat? It's impossible to think about it, because it's been half an hour since I entered the house, and I haven't heard the dog or cat bark at all.

Maybe it's a "dumb" bird of prey like a crocodile!

As soon as this idea came to me, suddenly I smelled a pungent smell, this smell is not strong, but it is very exciting, after smelling it I feel very familiar, and after smelling it a few times, suddenly the back of my head is numb, this is not the smell of formalin!

In an instant, my cold sweat came down, and my heart hung in my throat.

How can there be a smell of formalin in this room? This is not a school herbarium, let alone a hospital morgue.

The first time I smelled formalin was in my third year of junior high school, when my biology teacher asked me and a few male classmates in my class to go to the instrument room to help carry things.

The sound of Li Guozhi closing the door brought me back to my senses.

I saw that Li Guozhi's hands were empty when I came out, and I finally couldn't hold back, so I asked: "Brother Zhi, this dish is for ......"

Li Guozhi smiled slightly: "It's hard to say, hurry up and pour a full bottle of wine!" ”

He didn't want to say, and I didn't have the right to ask again, but my inner doubts grew more and more.

After a glass of wine, I finally asked about the "briquettes" in the black box.

Li Guozhi shook his head and said that he didn't know what it was. This time I was anxious: "What? You...... You don't know? Then how do you shout at Yu Jin and ask him to throw it away quickly? ”

"Brother, I didn't lie to you, before the salvage, Director Liu specially explained that the things salvaged this time are very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will cause death, at that time...... At the time, I thought it was a bomb left over from the war! ”

I see, the black, slimy, spherical object, from a distance, does look like an old-fashioned bomb.

Looking at Li Guozhi's expression, I believe that what he said is true, but he is still unwilling.

"How does Director Liu know that there is a black box under the river, and what is in the box?"

Li Guozhi smiled bitterly and drained the wine in the cup: "I said brother, you don't know the rules of our river patrol people, and besides, he is the deputy director of the dignified police station, so you have to explain to me what you do?" ”

I nodded, a little depressed, and took a drink from my glass.

It seems that I have to go to Director Liu!

After two glasses of wine, I realized that the dishes on the table looked a little awkward.
