Chapter 8: Phlogiston Theory
Ren Qiuling reached out to the big wooden box, and at this time, under the light of the fluorescent tube, the thin iron sheet tied to the wooden box flashed out. In that light floated a line of small silver-white letters:
"Dangerous goods, do not open them." It's not a spell, it's laser anti-counterfeiting technology. The use of this technique on a trademark allows the trademark to reveal hidden words at a certain angle. However, it is very rare to use it on the iron sheet of packaging - the main reason is that the machine required to achieve this effect is very expensive, not everyone can use it, otherwise there is no anti-counterfeiting meaning.
Ren Qiuling suddenly withdrew her hand, "Thank you for reminding me." "She's not stupid, why should she open something that looks dangerous?
Judging from the words on the wooden box, this thing has a certain relationship with Taoism, and she decided to ask Mei Laodao to take a look tomorrow.
There is another channel that can be checked, that is, the real estate developer who sent the things. The scale of the celebration was not large, and it was only attended by 100 people, so it was easy to find out.
Ren Qiuling took a few steps back, supported her chin with one hand, and looked at the big wooden box with interest. She thinks this wooden box is more interesting than the whole restaurant.
A pale hand reached out from behind her, brushed her hairline, and gently patted her shoulder.
Ren Qiuling was most annoyed that someone was disturbing her when she was researching the evidence, and said angrily: "Didn't you see that I was busy?" Do you know why you are disgusted by men? It's because you rely on your thoughts, and you always want to rely on this and that. She thought that the person behind her was Sister Zhao.
The hand jerked back.
Bai Xinruo stood behind Ren Qiuling, and half of her face exposed outside her hair stinked to the extreme. For the first time, she was downgraded by the people she wanted to kill, and the difference in mood can be imagined. After thinking about it, she stretched out her hand again and patted Ren Qiuling on the shoulder.
Ren Qiuling was really angry: "Are you still finished?" When he looked back, his anger immediately disappeared, "You're here, haven't you eaten, or I'll pour you a glass of water?" While talking nonsense, he retreated, went straight to the wooden box, and was held up by the wooden box before he stopped.
Bai Xinruo is of course more dangerous than this wooden box.
Ren Qiuling focused on studying the wooden box, and forgot about Bai Xinruo's stubble.
The back of her head hit the wooden box with a "bang" sound, which made her have a flash of inspiration, and she knew how to escape Bai Xinruo's pursuit.
"I love my wife so much." She said with certainty.
There are indeed a few people who escaped under Bai Xinruo's pursuit, because at the critical moment, they showed strong love for their wives. Maybe in Bai Xinruo's view, those who love their wives are good people, and even if they commit a big crime, they should be forgiven.
However, if the girl shows her strong love for her husband, she will definitely kill him resolutely. In her opinion, it is a big sin for girls to show affection, which is more serious than betraying the country.
Bai Xinruo looked at Ren Qiuling angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" β
Ren Qiuling suddenly remembered that she was a daughter, and she didn't even have a wife, how could she love her wife? knew a way to escape the pursuit, but she couldn't use it because of her own conditions, so she was so anxious that she was sweating.
Bai Xinruo saw Ren Qiuling leaning on the wooden box, and thought to herself: "She is desperate to protect the wooden box, is there something hidden in it?" With a wave of his hand, "You dodge!" What's hidden in this? I'm going to open it and take a look. β
Ren Qiuling shouted: "The things in here are very dangerous, look at the words here: dangerous items, please do not open them!" She said, pointing to the tin sheet.
Bai Xinruo looked at it and said, "Where are the words?" If you don't get out of the way, I'll burn you to death. "It turns out that the words typed by laser anti-counterfeiting can only be seen from a special angle. She opened her right hand, and the air was filled with the same pungent smell again, and countless small sparks converged above her palm, forming a fluffy fireballβtiny sparks elongated into silk and covered the entire fireball, looking fluffy.
Soon, the fireball condensed and formed, those tiny filaments disappeared, and the fireball burned happily above Bai Xinruo's palm.
Ren Qiuling hurriedly flashed away, "What then?" I'll get you a copy of the Kangxi Dictionary. She just wants to find an excuse to escape, where does it matter if Bai Xin wants "Kangxi Dictionary".
Bai Xinruo roared: "You stop! With his right hand outstretched, the fireball flew onto the plank. Her mind arson was magical, and the plank, which didn't seem to burn so easily, was roasted by the fireball, and a hole was immediately broken. A puff of green smoke poured out of the hole, drifted to the ceiling, condensed but not dispersed, and finally transformed into a middle-aged scholar in a long robe with a sad expression.
"Alas!" The scholar who made the cigarette said: "O people who released me, you must solve the copper serial murder case within nine days, or you will all die!" β
Bai Xinruo was surprised, "What the hell is this?" Usually when she says this, she just means to ask a question, and when she sees a fruit she doesn't know, she also asks, "What the hell is this?" But when she asked this question today, she really asked a biological question, which family, genus, class, and order of biology this ghost is, and what biological characteristics it has.
Ren Qiuling spread out her hand and said that she was very innocent, "I don't know ghosts?" β
The ghost made of smoke dispersed, leaving a large black character on the ceiling: "Jiu".
Ren Qiuling stared at the words on the ceiling curiously, and muttered in her mouth: "This word is beautiful, but the pen is softer, and it looks charming." "Handwriting psychology is also in the realm of criminal psychology, and the person's personality can be seen through handwriting.
Bai Xinruo said coldly: "I'm in a bad mood now, but you are still a detective I respect, and you can have a privilege, that is, to choose the way you die." Do you prefer to be hacked to death with an axe, or do you prefer to be burned to death by fire? I recommend you to choose a wooden stick, because I only need to crush your head in one fell swoop, and you will die without any pain. β
Ren Qiuling shouted: "Hey! Didn't you hear him say, we must solve the copper serial murder case within nine days, or we will die. Look at it, there are still words! She only hoped that if Bai Xinruo believed the words of the ghost, she would let herself go first.
Bai Xinruo said disdainfully: "Just him? Want to kill me too? Hum! Don't change the subject, hurry up and pick a way to die. β
Ren Qiuling got out in a hurry and said, "Think about it, one day in the future, when you fall in love, and you snuggle up in your boyfriend's arms, you will definitely say that you once saw a ghost made of smoke." He got interested and asked what the hell was that? You say, "Oh, I don't know!" At that time, I was in a hurry to kill someone, and I didn't find out what the hell he was. Your boyfriend is angry, so he doesn't want you. β
Bai Xinruo was said to be moved, it turned out that although she regarded human life as a mustard, she still had a tender side in her heart, and she was very eager to fall in love. "How can you have such a hateful boyfriend? He's so tasteless, why should I fall in love with him? As she spoke, she stroked her cheek with her hand.
Ren Qiuling said nonsense: "I'm talking about what if, what if the boy you fall in love with is so tasteless?" Seeing Bai Xinruo's disapproving look, he quickly emphasized: "A boy is a tasteless creature, which is very possible." β
Bai Xinruo thought about it seriously, "That's right! You have a point. Maybe when I fell in love with him, I didn't find him so bad when I was blind. "Love is blind, and Bai Xinruo doesn't dare to guarantee that he won't look at the wrong person when he is in love.
Ren Qiuling thought to herself: "Which boy fell in love with you, but he was really blind and didn't find you so bad." But the top priority is how to move Bai Xinruo and strive to live a few more days, "If there are any copper serial cases, we will also investigate." Anyway, you won't investigate the case, so I'll take care of it, okay? "In fact, as long as she survives tonight, Ren Qiuling plans to hide in Zhishouguan immediately. With Mei Laodao's mana, he should be able to protect himself. Saying this is just a distraction for Bai Xinruo.
Bai Xinruo was a criminal genius after all, she guessed a little bit of Ren Qiuling's thoughts, "Don't have a bad idea!" I'll check it with you! β
Of course, Ren Qiuling didn't want to be followed by the most dangerous murderer, but if she shirked it, Bai Xinruo would find out her true intentions, but fortunately, tonight's crisis has passed, and tomorrow she will find a way to get out when she arrives at Zhishouguan.
At this time, there was still red charcoal burned on top of the wooden box, and wisps of green smoke were still emitting. Ren Qiuling took a glass of milk to extinguish the fire, and said to Bai Xinruo: "I think so, I will arrange a top-level room for you in the restaurant, you can have a good rest." β
Bai Xinruo said with a cold face: "You have a lot of ghost ideas, I have to guard against you." I will go wherever you go, lest thou do evil. β
Ren Qiuling had no choice but to take her to the office - it turned out that the chairman's office of the restaurant was the office in front of the office, and there was a lounge in the back, with a bed, a bathtub, a large wardrobe, and an emergency escape channel.
After a simple wash, Ren Qiuling said to Bai Xinruo: "In this way, you can sleep on the bed, and I can make a bunk on the floor." β
Bai Xinruo jumped to the windowsill and sat down, looked at the night view of Binjiang and said, "No, I haven't slept for two years." I want to be quiet for a while, not to bother me. β
Ren Qiuling didn't dare to say more, so she had to put her clothes together and go to bed. slept until midnight and woke up suddenly, but saw Bai Xinruo still sitting on the windowsill, the night breeze blowing her hair, she raised her head slightly, quietly looking at the moon in the sky. Under the moonlight, her thin back was very lonely.
She is as strong and cruel as a fighter, but she is lonely.
Ren Qiuling sighed for a while, then wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and fell asleep.
Early that morning, she woke up much earlier than usual. As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately saw Bai Xinruo looking down at him. When she lowered her head, half of her severely burned face was exposed, and Ren Qiuling was so frightened that she stretched out her finger and pointed at Bai Xinruo, but she couldn't speak with her mouth open.
It took a while for Ren Qiuling to slow down, she was so scared just now that her heartbeat almost stopped, but now she felt so painful, she pressed her chest and said, "I'm sorry!" β
Bai Xinruo said: "You get up, I'll let you see something." β
Ren Qiuling was curious for a while, and she didn't know what Bai Xinruo would show herself, so she immediately got up.
Bai Xinruo took her to the windowsill, pointed outside, and saw a white cat sitting by the flower bed on the opposite rooftop. The cat had a majestic appearance and serious eyes, and although it was only a cat, it had the demeanor of a king. I don't know what it's thinking, but its expression is very serious.
"Today's chemistry was actually born from ancient alchemy, and today's heaven was actually born from ancient astrology." Bai Xinruo said, "Science has discovered some truths, but the world has not become clearer, but more mysterious." β
This is very much like what a person who has not graduated from high school said, but Bai Xinruo did say so. Ren Qiuling knew that it was normal for Bai Xinruo to say strange things if she had a strange experience, but she just nodded "mmmm".
Bai Xinruo said: "Some chemists once believed that combustion was because the air contained something called phlogiston. In fact, this perception of his comes from the ancient occult. Later, people discovered oxygen and felt that phlogiston was really wrong. In fact, phlogiston theory is a very wonderful doctrine, and there is nothing wrong with it. She stretched out her right hand and looked at the serious cat from a distance.
Ren Qiuling's scalp exploded, and regardless of the danger, she grabbed Bai Xinruo's arm and shouted, "What are you going to do?" No! β
Bai Xinruo glared at the cat sharply, "Boom"! The cat burned into a ball of fire, screamed and jumped up and down on the rooftop, and after only half a circle, it fell to the ground and lost its life.
Under Ren Qiuling's surprised gaze, the cat was burned into a ball of charcoal.
Bai Xinruo looked back at Ren Qiuling, "I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, if you make it bad, your fate will be the same as that cat." β
Ren Qiuling took Bai Xinruo's arm with one hand, and pointed to the coke that couldn't be seen in the shape of a cat with the other hand and said, "You say sorry to it!" β
Bai Xinruo looked at Ren Qiuling in surprise and didn't say a word.
Ren Qiuling's eyes were red in a hurry, "You say sorry to it!" Say it! β
Bai Xinruo's heart softened, and Ren Qiuling's reaction touched a soft nerve in her heart, "Okay, I'm sorry!" β
Ren Qiuling let go of her hand and said coldly, "I won't forgive you." β
The cat's scream woke up the house opposite, and the man went upstairs to see that there was only a dead cat, so he cursed angrily and went back to sleep.
