Chapter 91. Summer Extreme Cold (1)

In the middle of summer in August, I lie on the big tree tirelessly singing the praises of summer, the most vibrant season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the Tianfu Building, the tallest building in the downtown area of the provincial capital, the dazzling sunlight outside the window scorched the office of the president of Brilliance Group on the high-rise like a microwave oven, and the whirring air conditioner continued to send hot air into the airtight office, if others walked into the house, it was estimated that they could not stand it even for a minute, but Zhang Huachen, president of Brilliance Group, was sitting in front of the air conditioner wrapped in a thick blanket at this time, shivering, and his face was already bloodless, and he stretched out his hand to pick up the phone on the desk for help.

His stiff arm was slowly raised, and a click was heard from the joints of his arm, as if ice had been squeezed into slag. A feeble sigh came from his frozen purple lips, like the sound of life, and his trembling arm was barely halfway up before it drooped weakly, never to be lifted again.

In the scorching summer and scorching heat, the rich have moved their families to cool places to escape the heat, while the poor families can only prepare electric fans and banana fans to endure the torment at home, waiting for the slightest short-term coolness of the night.

Edelweiss tea, is a necessary drink for the people of Cheongju to cool off, this tea is picked from the Edelweiss growing on the Snow Mountain of Cheongju, the sun-dried Edelweiss is soaked in the secret potion, the petals will be sucked dry, and then put into the ice cellar for storage, and the Edelweiss tea is frozen into an ice crystal state, the most famous summer drink in Cheongju is finished.

After drinking this tea, it can quickly release the cool cold in the body of the drinker, and completely expel the heat in the body, so that people instantly feel cool, and the effect is far better than the ice cream popsicle in our usual hands, therefore, this tea is very popular among the relatives of the Cheongju Emperor and the wealthy gentry, and my Tongling Tea House has also prepared some to put in the freezer for themselves to enjoy slowly, and our story today starts with this edelweiss tea.

A few petals of edelweiss that were frozen into ice crystals were put into the teapot by the moon dance, and the hot water instantly melted the thin layer of ice crystals on the surface of the petals, and I took the tea with a few white petals floating and drank it all, after the warm tea went down to the stomach, an incomparably cool feeling gushed out of the abdomen, and I was sweating profusely just now, and I instantly felt that my body was extremely refreshing, and the heat on my body was completely empty.

After Moon Dance poured me tea, she complained to me, "You said you, why don't you stay at the beach for a month longer, so you came back in such a hurry, I told Le Yannian that we won't go back for the summer vacation!" ”

I leaned back on the recliner with a nonchalant face, put my feet on the counter and shook comfortably, "We have been living in Wu Wenxuan's villa for half a month, enough money, my face is thin-skinned, I'm embarrassed to rely on others anymore, and if we can't go back, we won't go back, my grandfather and grandma have been tired lately, won't we become light bulbs when we go back?" ”

"Then we'll stay in the provincial capital this month?" Moondance picked up the towel and began to wipe the thin layer of dust off the counter

"Of course, let's start living on our own."

I yawned lazily and got ready for a good night's sleep, but I didn't want the glass door of the tea house to be suddenly pushed open, and Ding Lin, who was wearing a police uniform, rushed in in a hurry.

"The little shopkeeper helps, something is wrong!"

Ding Lin, who was sweaty, shouted at his throat and begged for help as soon as he entered the house, but as soon as I saw him, my head was big, and every time this guy came to me, it would be fine.

I pretended to be surprised and asked, "Officer Ding, what's the matter, so anxious?" ”

Ding Lin, who had a dry mouth, picked up my remaining half pot of edelweiss tea and drank it all, then gasped and said, "We have encountered a strange case again!" ”

I nodded, "And then?" ”

Ding Lin looked at me strangely and whispered, "There is a person who locked himself in the office on a very hot day and turned on the heating, and finally he was frozen to death in his office!" ”

I nodded, "I've seen this kind of plot in the movies, and then what?" ”

"Don't you think it's incredible, little shopkeeper, it's nearly forty degrees outside now! He was still heating up in his office, and he ended up freezing to death in a room that could heat people to death! ”

I continued to nod nonchalantly, "So what? ”

Ding Lin looked at me incredulously, "So what?" Don't you think it's too incredible, someone was frozen to death on this day! Moreover, the autopsy report said that the deceased's internal organs, cerebral marrow and blood, on the contrary, the body fluids of his whole body were frozen into ice slag anyway! ”

I blinked, and then asked lightly, "Officer Ding Linding, are you cold?" ”

Hearing my words, Ding Lin suddenly shivered, and then craned his neck and looked around, "Yes, it's a little cold, the temperature of the air conditioner in the small shopkeeper's store is too low, right?" ”

I glanced at Ding Lin angrily, "My shop hasn't installed air conditioning yet, my precious half pot of edelweiss tea has been drunk by you for a while, and now the cool air in the tea is rushing straight to your internal organs, you are also waiting to be frozen to death!" ”

Moon Dance handed a steaming cup of Pu'er to Ding Lin, who was shivering in a blanket, and Ding Lin gratefully accepted the hot tea handed by Moon Dance, holding the teacup tightly in both hands to draw warmth.

I poured the re-brewed edelweiss tea into the cup, and said slowly, "What's so strange about being frozen to death on a hot day, there are no wonders in the world, many things can't be confused by the surface, if you drink two more pots of my edelweiss tea in one go, you will end up with the person you said, and be frozen to death!" ”

Ding Lin, whose lips were purple from the cold, nodded vigorously, and then asked, "Little shopkeeper, did you say that the deceased also froze to death after drinking your edelweiss tea?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No way, my edelweiss tea is usually used for my own enjoyment and has never been sold." ”

"Could it be someone else who sold it?" Ding Lin still did not give up on his ideas.

I told him firmly, "Officer Ding, there are very few people in our business, and as far as I know, in the whole province of G, my family has this kind of edelweiss tea. ”

With a cup of hot tea in his stomach, the cold in Ding Lin's body eased slightly, and he walked to the counter tremblingly, looked at me and said, "Then can you help me solve this case?" This case is too mysterious for me to solve. ”

"That Hokkaido and Fan Hanlun, they can't handle it?"

Ding Lin sighed, "The people of Hokkaido went out to practice in the summer, Fan Hanlun, I have already looked for him, but he said that he has no clue, I can't help it, so I came to see if you were there, thank God, I didn't expect you to be still there during the summer vacation!" ”

I reluctantly glanced at Moon Dance, knowing that I would honestly return to Fuyun County.

There's no way, people came to ask me for help, and the case of the Nine Lives Cat Demon last time was also thanks to Ding Lin's help to clear Luo Tianyin's suspicions, and this favor is now a great opportunity to return it to him.

I left Yuewu to clean up in the tea house, and I followed Ding Lin to the office of the president of Brilliance Group on the upper floor of Tianfu Building, and when I walked into the office of Nuoda, I saw that the doors and windows in the room were closed, and I felt extremely hot standing in the closed air.

"It's so hot, why don't you turn on the air conditioner or open the windows in this office!" I took out a tissue to wipe the beads of sweat that kept popping up on my forehead.

"Oh, my lord, you're here, let's see if there's anything wrong with this house?" Fan Hanlun, who had been squatting in the room for a long time, greeted me excitedly when he saw me, and stretched out his hand full of dirt to grab my clothes.

I pushed Fan Hanlun away from me, "Why are your hands so dirty!" ”

Fan Hanlun pointed aggrievedly to the floor-to-ceiling air conditioner placed in the corner, "I just opened this thing and checked it to see if there were any clues inside." ”

"And then, do you have a clue?"

Fan Hanlun shrugged his shoulders and said regretfully, there was no clue.

Ding Lin smiled at me with his hands behind his back, pointed to the floor-to-ceiling air conditioner in the corner and said, "When the CEO of Brilliance Group was frozen to death in the house, the air conditioner was blowing hot air vigorously!" ”

I stood in front of the air conditioner and observed for a long time, and after seeing that there was nothing unusual, I asked Ding Lin where the deceased had been before he died.

Ding Lin picked up the report in his hand and said to me, "According to our investigation, the deceased has been living in the company and at home, and we have also sent people to investigate in his home, and nothing has been found." ”

I scratched my head and muttered, "That's weird, people can't just freeze to death so inexplicably?" ”

At this time, Ding Lin's mobile phone suddenly rang, and his assistant Yuan Bo's anxious voice came from inside Brother Ding, come to the team quickly, something happened again!

When Ding Lin heard that something had happened again, his brows tightened, and he quickly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Yuan Bo was a little nervous and said on the phone: "In the early morning, a fire broke out in a residential area in the west of the city, and one person was burned to char in his own home, but the autopsy found that the deceased was frozen to death!" Brother Ding, do you know that after the forensic doctor cut open the belly of the deceased, he found that the deceased's internal organs had become ice bumps! ”

Hearing Yuan Bo's words, I, Fan Hanlun and Ding Lin looked at each other blankly, this matter seems not simple.
