Tiger Police

Chapter 589 Insecticides
Li Jinrong had been frightened for a long time, and he kept screaming: "No! There is really nothing else, just rice and soybeans."

Hu Pingtao sternly shouted: "You have to be responsible for what you say. Let me tell you, this is a murder case, and more than one person died. If you continue to hinder our investigation, the consequences will be very serious. When the time comes, you will be blamed and sentenced. The same is indispensable."

"I...I...I really didn't talk nonsense!" Li Jinrong beat his chest and stamped his feet, and swore anxiously: "If I talk nonsense, if there are other things in the warehouse, I...I was hit by a car when I went out, and was struck by lightning while walking. , I must die!"

Judging from his appearance, it seems that he is not lying.

Ding Jian felt the same way listening to him.He leaned close to Hu Pingtao's ear: "Well, I'll take the forensic team in first. We have protective clothing, and it's okay. You stay outside and don't let anyone come in. I'll go around and see what is it. Something went wrong."

Hu Pingtao thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay! Be careful and be safe."

……

Ding Jian led the people into the warehouse.

The protective clothing is bright yellow. In order to distinguish it from the health inspection department, there are police badges on the top of the helmet and on the left arm.This is a one-piece suit, with two layers inside and outside. Wearing a helmet, you cannot speak and communicate normally, so you can only hold a recorder to shoot the whole process.

Li Jinrong's grain warehouse had a new foundation.Floor drains, the rest of the plot has a five centimeter drop from the surface.This ensures dryness and less chance of the buildup being saturated with water and becoming wet.

Ding Jian walked around the warehouse and found that Li Jinrong was not lying—a large amount of grain was piled up here, all of which were polypropylene woven bags with light green trademarks.There are two specifications: 25 kg and [-] kg.Judging from the trademark, it is indeed imported from Siam.

Polypropylene packaging has poor effects on insect protection, moisture resistance and freshness preservation, but its benefits are also obvious, mainly in terms of stretch resistance and strong load-bearing capacity.

In the south corner of the warehouse, Ding Jian saw dozens of small vacuum-packed bags filled with soybeans.Compared with the Siamese basmati rice, which covers a large area, the number of these soybeans is small, almost negligible.

During the inspection, the electronic detector kept sounding the alarm.This shows that the phosphine content inside the warehouse is seriously exceeding the standard.Ding Jian didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. He searched carefully for suspicious objects, but he didn't find any dangerous objects that matched his knowledge.

Soon, Ding Jian noticed that there were many small paper balls wrapped in newspaper scattered among the stacks of rice.

These paper balls are only the size of a fist, and the wrapping method is very random.

Ding Jian picked up one casually, opened it slowly, and found a kind of off-white powder inside.

Seeing this, Ding Jian's heart tightened immediately.

As a medical examiner, he is familiar with most toxic substances.The powder in front of me is very similar to aluminum phosphide in terms of color and basic characteristics.

He quickly walked out of the warehouse with the paper bag, came to an open place, first took a sample of the powder, and then sealed it for safety, then took off his helmet, brought the sample to Hu Pingtao, and lifted the sample bag up.

"I guess it's the problem with this thing." Ding Jian turned his gaze to Li Jinrong who was standing aside, and asked seriously: "I found this in your warehouse. Tell me, what is this?"

"This... this..." Li Jinrong was dumbfounded when he saw it, and opened his mouth, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

It was obvious that he was filled with fear.Hu Pingtao secretly speculated that Li Jinrong should be afraid of taking responsibility.After all, two people died in the Cao family. They thought it had nothing to do with him, but the police opened the warehouse for inspection as soon as they arrived, and found this directly.

"Tell me! What is this?" He continued to ask the same question as Ding Jian, with a serious expression: "Even if you don't tell me, we can test the chemical composition of this thing. But if you tell us to find out, the nature is It’s different. One is voluntary confession, and the other is police investigation. The former can be counted as surrender, but the latter directly submits the evidence to the court, and how long the sentence should be when the time comes.”

When Li Jinrong heard this, his face changed suddenly.He panicked and kept waving his hands: "This matter has nothing to do with me, it really doesn't matter!"

Hu Pingtao's tone was cold and serious: "Whether it matters or not is not up to you."

"I really didn't do it!" Li Jinrong was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, but it was obvious that he had a ghost in his heart.

Hu Pingtao stared at him with cold eyes: "Then tell me, what exactly is this newspaper holding?"

"I..." Li Jinrong muttered for a moment, turned his head to one side, and muttered reluctantly, "I bought this to kill insects."

"Insecticide?" Ding Jian heard it clearly, and frowned subconsciously: "How come I have seen this type of solid insecticide? Tell me, where did you get it?" ?”

Li Jinrong was so forced that he couldn't help it. Now that things have become serious, he knew the seriousness of the relationship and was so frightened that he shivered: "I used to collect rice in the countryside, which is new rice, and transport it to the city to sell. Once I stockpiled There were too many worms in the rice, and I lost a lot of money. Later, I saw that the rice collected by a colleague never had worms. I was curious, so I asked him what happened. He told me that as long as Just put some of this outside the rice bag."

"It's called "Anti-Insect Net". Of course, it may not be called that, because this product has no outer packaging, and you can't find it for sale outside. Every time I need it, I ask an acquaintance to ask for a relationship. The first time I bought a big bag for me, I took it back and put it in the newspaper, wrapped it into a ball and stuffed it in the middle of the grain bag.”

"This "grain and insect net" is really useful. In the past, there were bugs everywhere in the warehouse, not to mention spiders and cockroaches. The most troublesome thing is the weevil. It eats up several bags of rice every year. Later, I used it After more than two years, the rice has never had worms, not to mention cockroaches, not even flies and mosquitoes in the warehouse.”

The more Hu Pingtao heard it, the more angry he became. He yelled angrily: "There is no packaging, no production license, and no label. How dare you use this kind of thing? It's so toxic, don't you have a clue?"

Li Jinrong quickly defended: "I know it's poison, but it's very effective! I'm busy in business all year round, and I earn a lot of hard money. People are tricking me now! Seeing that there are worms in your rice, don't take them all away." Yes, even if you have already bought it back, you have to take it back and return it. I drive every day to deliver and buy goods, and it’s really not easy. I don’t want to have insects in the rice! But I can’t help it, I can’t owe everything Is it all on my head? So it's normal for me to take some medicine."

"Besides, I didn't directly mix the medicine into the food. There was a layer of bags and newspapers on the outside. These two layers of protection are double insurance. I'm not bragging. I used this food to clean the insects. I have never had any problems with the grain I sold, let alone dead people."

The anger in Hu Pingtao's heart could not help welling up.

Li Jinrong is obviously shirking responsibility.

Ding Jian leaned over and lowered his voice: "I took a look, and it should be aluminum phosphide. As soon as he mentioned Liangchongjing just now, I realized that I had handled a similar case before, and it was also Liangchongjing poisoning. This thing It was widely used in the past, mainly when the grain was collected in the countryside, and there were rice dealers. It cannot be placed directly in the grain, but it can be wrapped with other things, such as newspapers, placed next to the grain pocket, and killed by fumigation. insect."

Hu Pingtao asked puzzledly: "Fumigation? Will the fumigated food not be affected?"

"How is it possible." Ding Jian shook his head: "It's been said that this is aluminum phosphide, which is highly toxic! Even if it is fumigated, the toxin will penetrate. Let alone city people, even a cow can be overthrown. But the words Then again, regardless of the quantity, the results are all hooligans, even if it is rice that has been fumigated with poison, you have to eat a certain amount to be poisoned."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly, already having an idea in his mind.

He called two police officers and pointed at Li Jinrong: "Cuff him and take him to the car. Take him back to the police later."

Li Jinrong was terrified when he heard it. He was terrified and screamed repeatedly: "This matter has nothing to do with me! I...why did I...you can't wrong good people!"

The scene was chaotic, and Hu Pingtao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and ordered the police to take him away first.

When Li Jinrong was taken away, he turned to Ding Jian and said suspiciously: "I know a little about aluminum phosphide. Li Jinrong was here just now, so I can't say something in front of him. This thing is very cheap, and the granary is fumigated. They all use this. I used to have a friend at the grain station, and the main ingredient of the fumigation sheets they used there was aluminum phosphide. I don’t think there are many of them thrown away in the warehouse, only one or two sheets per square meter, which is the same as that in the usual pharmacy. Bought about the same size."

Ding Jian explained: "I understand. The kind you are talking about is a special insecticide for granaries. The aluminum phosphide content in it is usually around 50.00%. The appearance is similar to the calcium tablets we ate when we were young. The reason why the above is strict about this thing Control is mainly to prevent accidents.”

"Think about it, your friend works at the grain station. Where is the grain station? Have you been there?"

Hu Pingtao replied subconsciously: "Of course I have."

Ding Jian raised his finger to the warehouse with the open door in front of him: "What's the difference between the granary you've been to and this one?"

"There's a big difference!" Hu Pingtao didn't understand, but he answered honestly: "After all, the grain station is controlled by the state, with a large space and high environmental requirements. It is especially important to keep it dry. The other thing is that it is clean. debris, and must be ventilated and checked regularly.”

"As for Li Jinrong's warehouse...there is no comparison between the two."

Ding Jian laughed and said, "Do you still remember the symptoms of Cao Zhong and his five members being poisoned?"

"I remember." Hu Pingtao nodded: "Dizziness, headache, nausea, chest tightness, and weakness."

Ding Jian added: "Then there are different degrees of coma. This is the most basic feature of inhaling phosphine. This shows that the toxin has caused myocardial damage to them, and mental disorders have also appeared. If it is oral phosphine poisoning, there will be Produce more intense gastrointestinal symptoms, including…”

"Wait, wait a minute!" Hu Pingtao quickly interrupted, and asked puzzledly: "This is talking about aluminum phosphide, what are you talking about about phosphine?"

Ding Jian said: "The five members of Cao Zhong's family were poisoned by inhaling too much phosphine."

Hu Pingtao suddenly realized: "You mean, the source of the phosphine that poisoned Cao Zhong's family was the aluminum phosphide in Li Jinrong's warehouse?"

"Yes." Ding Jian's answer was very positive.

Hu Pingtao said while thinking: "I remembered that aluminum phosphide must be in a dry environment to maintain its structural stability. When it encounters acid or humidity, it will react violently and release phosphine. When the temperature exceeds At [-] degrees Celsius, it will spontaneously ignite in the air."

Ding Jian explained: "So I just asked about your friend's grain station. Only large-scale granaries that are strictly controlled and meet the conditions in all aspects can use aluminum phosphide fumigation to kill insects. Why does the country strictly control this aspect and put aluminum phosphide Listed as a prohibited product among the people? It is because of its strong toxicity, and a little negligence will cause catastrophe."

"Li Jinrong bought aluminum phosphide through illegal channels. The reason is understandable. But look at the warehouse he rented. It is old and old. I guess he hasn't repaired it since he rented it. It should be because of the rain. That leads to humidity, and the aluminum phosphide turns into phosphine."

This analysis makes sense, but Hu Pingtao still frowned: "You are right, but the problem is that there is a wall between Cao Zhong and his house and the warehouse. The two sides are solid, even if the warehouse When exposed to moisture, aluminum phosphide produces phosphine, how does this poisonous gas pass through?"

Ding Jian replied: "Let's wait and see! I asked them to open all the doors and windows of the warehouse. When the poisonous gas inside dissipated, we went in and took a closer look at the structure of the house. It will be clear then."

……

There are always fans and motors in the wholesale market.Because of the special situation, several units were urgently transferred, placed in the warehouse with full power, and blown back and forth for more than an hour.

Ding Jian led another inspection to confirm that the residual toxins could no longer pose a threat, so Hu Pingtao led the inspection team into the warehouse.

After a search, the source of the problem was quickly found.

"Look, this warehouse was rebuilt." Hu Pingtao pointed to the beam above his head and said to Ding Jian: "This should be the trace left by the old house. In fact, the house only has the outer circle, which is built by Cao Zhong. The direction of their house. The part that Li Jinrong is renting now was expanded by relying on the wall later, which is commonly known as "one wall and two rooms". This kind of house is not stable, but the main upper floor will not be expanded, and it will be light. Corrugated tiles, corrugated steel, and plasticized materials are barely usable as roofs.”

Ding Jian said "hmm", walked to the corner, pointed to the ceiling and said, "Look here, this is an old-fashioned corrugated tile, with such a big gap in the middle. Not to mention cockroaches, even mice can get through."
