I slowly brewed tea, thinking in my heart how to answer, thinking about it, I felt that we were not familiar with each other, and the position was unclear, so it was better not to talk to him too carefully, so I simply said: "I didn't look for him specifically, I just encountered some biological problems, and I wanted to find someone to consult, I have no acquaintances in this field, and I only have a little relationship with Professor Lin Qiliang, so I want to ask him." It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me where he is, so do I ask you. ”

He lowered his eyes: "Aren't you very familiar with the police in Qianzhou City?" They definitely have outside help in biology, so why not ask them for help? ”

I pursed my lips and smiled: "There are some things that it is inconvenient to ask acquaintances." ”

He was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "You say come and listen." ”

I said, "No hurry. I have other questions to ask. ”

He looked a little upset.

I smiled and asked him, "Is it a coincidence that we met in the Qianzhou café today?" ”

He asked me, "What do you mean?" ”

I asked him: "You went to Qianzhou to listen to a lecture, met Liu Yunge, drank coffee with her, and then ran into me again, is this series of things a coincidence?" Or did you plan it? ”

His face was even more gloomy, but he smiled and replied, "Pure coincidence." I don't know Liu Yunge, when I listened to the lecture, she took the initiative to sit next to me and talk to me, and the conversation was speculative, so we went to have a coffee together, and there was no plan. ”

After saying that, he asked a little sharply: "What do you think I'm planning?" ”

I pursed my lips and shook my head: "I don't know, I always feel that something is not right." The way you looked at me when we met at the café made me uncomfortable, and-"

Suddenly paused in the middle of the conversation, and then looked at his right hand, the ring on his ring finger looked quite simple, a white gold ring, with a few broken diamonds on it, but the setting of the broken diamonds was too casual, and the distance between them was not equal, no matter how you looked at it, it would not be a wedding ring.

He realized that I was paying attention to his ring, and his fingers involuntarily shrank back.

I asked him, "Your ring is unusual, isn't it?" ”

He doesn't ring.

I asked again what the function of the ring was, but he put his hand directly under the table, and completely avoided the topic in one sentence: "Industry secrets, can't be said." ”

I can't say that I won't ask, although I care about the ring, but I don't have to get to the bottom of it, so I nodded and said I'll leave it at that.

Then the conversation returned to the "Human Skin X Case", and I asked him to tell me about the specific situation.

But he shook his head again with a gloomy expression: "I can't say it, confidential." ”

I asked again and again, Lou Mingjiang used "confidential" to block back, and it was very boring, so the little smile I originally hung on my face disappeared instantly, and I looked a little angry with my expression, and the subconscious meaning was very clear, I drove all the way and told me that it was confidential when I asked you two questions in a row, which was too polite.

Of course, I did this on purpose, so that he felt a little guilty about it, and then asked a few less sensitive questions, and he would answer honestly, which was also a little psychological trick.

I used to be too idle, and I would flip through all kinds of books, and when it was really useful.

When Lou Mingjiang was a little cramped and apologetic, I immediately lowered my posture and asked softly: "Is there a major biological problem in the "Human Skin X Case", the police asked you for professional assistance, and you have a confidentiality agreement with them, so you can't tell me anything?" ”

He immediately nodded, "Yes." ”

I refilled his cup of tea and asked, "Is there some special herb involved?" ”

His hands trembled, his face changed, he straightened up and stepped back, almost knocking over his chair, and looked at me with a gaze that looked like he had seen a ghost, and his voice was hoarse with nervousness, and a little trembling: "What do you know? Who are you?! ”

I looked up, grinned widely, and smiled dryly, and replied to him with a vengeance: "Privacy, can't be said. ”

You can see that he is trying to control his emotions as much as possible and racking his brains to think of a countermeasure.

It's a pity that I've made up my mind, no matter how much he asks, he won't tell him much information about me, so that after he goes back, he will tell the police in Jiangcheng who are in charge of investigating the "Human Skin X Case" about me, and they will check on me.

As long as they use a snack, they will find out that I am a woman who died more than twenty years ago, and they will be amazed, and then they will definitely come to me.

This trick is called "luring the snake out of the hole".

I don't think about whether doing this will bring disaster to myself for the time being, because it's useless to think too much, and if you want to talk to important people, you have to be willing to let yourself out.

In order to ensure that the "snake" behind Lou Mingjiang can be lured out, I have to put some more fierce materials, and as for whether I can give the right medicine, it depends on luck.

I looked at Lou Mingjiang gently and smiled, telling him not to be so nervous, and to sit down and talk slowly.

He sat down hesitantly, apparently feeling that he was a little too frivolous, a little embarrassed in front of a girl much younger than me, so he lowered his face and drank his tea, and did not speak for a while.

I slowly played with the purple clay pot in my hand, in Liu Yimin's words, called "raising the pot", and suddenly felt that what he said was very reasonable, Kung Fu tea is indeed a stable thing, I am not in a hurry, firmly have the upper hand, not only to set out more possible inside information, but also to ensure that he can report today's meeting to the Jiangcheng police who cooperated with him after he goes back.

I feel that I can open a door to my mysterious background from the "Human Skin X Case", so Lou Mingjiang and the people behind him are very important to me.

Neither of them spoke.

After a while, Lou Mingjiang probably thought that I had nothing to say, so he coughed lightly and prepared to speak.

But I spoke before he did.

It was another small behavioral psychology trick to thwart the emotions he had built up so hard to keep me in the upper hand of the conversation.

I'll use this trick over and over again if necessary, and he shouldn't be able to play me in that regard.

I asked him if he knew of a herb called the Silver Shell Terrier.

Lou Mingjiang's two eyes widened and widened, and they widened to the point of being dumbfounded, this expression gave a clear answer, he not only knew the existence of that herb, but also knew its medicinal properties and growth environment and other things, and even knew that he had seen it.

So, the chip is thrown right.

I told Lou Mingjiang that I knew a little bit about the Yinbei Terrier, but not too much, and I hadn't seen them with my own eyes. But as far as I know, that kind of thing has very high requirements for the growing environment, especially the air, not to mention the metropolis, even in the countryside, no one has ever seen it, and it is generally only in the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, and it must be in a damp place near a living spring.

He swallowed his saliva and looked at me with difficulty, unsure whether to answer my words or not.

I don't mind him being silent and continuing to talk to himself: "So I don't know what it is like to smell the silver shell terrier in the city. ”

After saying that, he paused for a few seconds and added, "That's the question I want to ask." ”

As I said this, I stared straight into the eyes of the man across from me and saw his pupils suddenly dilate, and fine sweat oozed from his skin.

It was time for him to have to speak.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his throat was as dry as a fire, and the voice that came out was hoarse and unpleasant, which startled him, and he quickly drank two cups of tea in a row to extinguish the fire in his throat, and then anxiously asked me where I had smelled the silver shell terrier.

I said, "It's not convenient to disclose it for the time being." ”

He asked, "Is it in a special cultivation room or in a cultivation dish?" ”

I shook my head, "No." It's in the fields of the suburbs. ”

He shook his head more than I did, and said, "Impossible." No way. It is absolutely impossible for the Silver Shell Terrier to survive in the city, and not in the suburbs. What you just said is correct, they have very high requirements for the environment, temperature, humidity and the content of oxygen and hydrogen in the air, and they may not be able to meet their requirements at all times in the deep mountains and old forests, and most of the silver shell terriers may not live to adulthood even if they germinate. ”

I nodded and said "but".

"However, their seeds have tenacious vitality and can be preserved for decades or even hundreds of years in any harsh environment. In addition, their growth period is about three months, and once they are past the growth period, they also become tenacious after they really bloom, and it is said that they can be raised for about half a year by folding their flowers and taking them home to arrange a vase, and raising them with only clean water for about half a year. ”

Lou Mingjiang was dumbfounded again and had to nod.

I know these characteristics of the silver shell terrier, so after the police at the scene of the "disembowelment case" have removed the body and the traces of the scene, I will go back there again, trying to find out if there are seeds or flowers of the silver shell terrier nearby, not only did I not find it, but I didn't even smell the smell of the silver shell terrier again, so I don't understand, I have to consult the expert in front of me.

I told him about the situation, but I omitted the murder, and only said that I went back to the same place and searched carefully, and there were no silver shell stalk seeds, no flowers, and no smell. Ask him if there is any other possibility.

He asked me if I could be sure I really smelled the Silvershell Terrier.

I replied solemnly: "Sure, 100% sure, although I have never seen the normal silver shell stalk before, I have seen its seeds, and the dried flowers that have been specially treated to make specimens, are very well preserved, have its original smell, my sense of smell is sharper than ordinary people, and my ability to distinguish different smells is very strong, so I can't be wrong." ”

He looked at me incredulously for a moment before asking, "When you smell the smell of the silver shell terrier, was there anyone around?" ”

I nodded.
