Volume 2: The Red Lotus Case of the Ancient Temple Chapter 36: The Secret of Spontaneous Combustion
"I, I'm ......" Jinghui's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't know what to say with her mouth open.
"Amitabha, could it be that the Spiegel Division solved the case by relying on intimidation and threats?" Jingxin said in a deep voice: "If you want to think that the little monk is guilty, please come up with evidence." ”
"Haha." Duan Ming stared at Jingxin for a long time, then suddenly laughed and patted Jingxin's shoulder: "Why is Master Jingxin so serious, I'm just joking." Besides, isn't solving a case a bold assumption and careful verification? ”
"Amitabha." Jingxin smiled slightly and did not speak.
"Okay, I'm very happy to meet Master Pure Heart, but I still have something to do, I'll talk to Master another day." As he spoke, Duan Ming patted Jingxin's shoulder, then turned around and left.
"Amitabha." Jingxin looked at Duan Ming's departing back, pronounced a Buddha name, and his eyes slowly narrowed.
Duan Ming didn't go to the other monks to say anything, but went directly to the independent wing of the north courtyard, and at this moment, the body of the pure law was placed on a wooden bed.
Walking into the room, Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and there seemed to be a faint pungent smell in the air.
Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he came to the side of Jingfa's corpse and examined it carefully.
"Mr. Duan." After a long time, Xing Qianqiu walked in from outside and saw Duan Ming sitting next to the corpse in contemplation.
"How? Did you find anything? Duan Ming looked up at Xing Qianqiu.
"We questioned the monk again, but we didn't get any clues." Xing Qianqiu sighed: "However, the gold, silver and jewels brought by the master of the Forgotten Machine Hall were indeed searched from under the bed of the Pure Law, and someone from the Spiegel Division saw it at that time. ”
"It's nature." Duan Ming nodded and led your head: "Pure Fa and Pure Heart, as the leaders of the Pure Character Generation, have a lot of power, there are always some channels to make profits, and it is not uncommon to have those gold, silver and jewelry. ”
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "I just saw you come out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and I directly found the Pure Heart, did you find anything?" ”
"Those who kill the Dharma-purifying are not purifying their hearts." Duan Ming said directly: "But the person in the red dress that day was seen by the Pure Law was him. ”
"How?" Xing Qianqiu said suspiciously.
"The mind of the pure heart is thoughtful, and the joy and anger are invisible, and it is not easy to investigate." Duan Ming said: "But those people around him who are pure characters are far less profound than pure hearts. ”
"At that time, when I asked Pure Heart whether the Pure Law was killed by him, there was no trace of panic on Pure Heart's face, only Jinghui argued."
"This shows that either the pure mind is very confident in his own killing methods, or the pure law is not killed by the pure heart."
"And at that time, the look on Jinghui's face did not seem to be fake, and he should really believe that Jingxin was not a murderer."
"Jinghui is the most powerful assistant of Jingxin, such a treacherous method of killing, if Jingxin does it, the latter will definitely be able to find clues, or this matter must be arranged for Jinghui to do."
"That being the case, if this case was done by Jingxin, then Jinghui would not have made such an expression."
"There is some truth, but in the end it is just speculation." Xing Qianqiu nodded.
"That's right." Duan Ming said: "But guessing is enough, lest we put too much energy into this." ”
"Then why do you say that the person in the red dress you saw on that day is a pure heart?" Xing Qianqiu asked again.
"I mentioned that I saw the pure heart in the red dress when I was in the purification of the Dharma that day, and the monks around me didn't even have a trace of surprise on their faces." Duan Ming said: "This shows that maybe the monks in the red dress have already heard about it, and even people like Jinghui are very likely to know about it completely." ”
"But I sent people to search the abode of the pure heart, and found nothing red." Xing Qianqiu said.
"For such a large temple, it's not unusual to have any dark rooms." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "With a pure heart, I am afraid that it is very well hidden. ”
"Indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "By the way, when I just came in, I saw what you seemed to be thinking, did you find anything?" ”
"Come and see." Duan Ming nodded, then pointed to the corpse of the Pure Law: "Have you smelled anything?" ”
"Yes, indeed." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "This seems to be the smell of garlic, I also smelled it when Jingfa's body was on fire before." ”
"Do you feel unwell?" Duan Ming asked.
"Not really, what's wrong?" Xing Qianqiu shook his head.
"I have a guess, but I can't confirm it at this moment." Duan Ming said, "You said before that the pure Fa body was burning with a dark green flame? ”
"That's right, I've never seen a flame like that, and it looks terrifying." Xing Qianqiu said.
"The faint green flame and the smell of garlic ......" Duan Ming nodded: "It seems to be caused by the burning of white phosphorus." ”
"White phosphorus?" Xing Qianqiu frowned: "What is that?" ”
"A terrible substance with a very low spontaneous ignition point, and the normal body temperature of the human body can ignite it." Duan Ming explains: "When white phosphorus is burned, it produces a dark green flame with the smell of garlic. ”
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu said: "Do you have any questions? ”
"Yes." Duan Ming said: "The smoke produced by the combustion of white phosphorus is actually phosphorus hexoxide or phosphorus pentoxide, both of which are extremely toxic. ”
"Judging from the situation inside the Mahavira Treasure Hall, you and those monks who are very close to the Pure Dharma are bound to inhale this substance, and you should be nauseous and vomiting at worst, and you will be comatose or even life-threatening."
"But so far, you don't have any problems."
"Ahh Xing Qianqiu nodded, but his expression was blank.
"Forget it, that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out." Duan Ming pondered, "Unless there was something in the Daxiong Treasure Hall at that time that neutralized the toxicity of phosphorus hexoxide or phosphorus pentoxide, but I didn't know that this substance existed. ”
"Of course, there is another possibility." Duan Ming said: "The Daxiong Treasure Hall has been burned, and it has been riddled with holes and damage, so the air circulation in the hall is relatively good, and you have not inhaled much phosphide. ”
"But this, while reasonable, can also explain why I didn't ask about the strong smell of garlic in the main hall when I came later."
"But that's not too high. If that's the case, you're all in luck. ”
"I don't believe in luck either." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"No, no, no, I believe in luck." Duan Ming said: "But before I believe in luck, I must be sure that it is real luck!" ”
"And what are you going to do?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"Dissect the corpse!" Duan Ming said: "As long as the corpse of the Pure Law is autopsied, all the truth will appear in front of us!" ”
