Chapter 624 Ricin

Only then did Mr. Feng realize that Zhou Ning was strange, so he quickly put away his smile and thought for a while and said:
"We didn't know the mechanism at first, so we broke down one, and then found the mechanism. It can be opened normally, and there are indeed traces of opening here. Director Zhou, what do you think?"

Zhou Ning pondered for a moment.

"That's right, you know that we found other things in the hiding place in the cave, some were left by the Sapporo people when they occupied it, and some were left by the hidden people from the Democratic Progressive Movement before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since they can find here to carry out Hidden, didn't you think about opening these coffins?

And according to our analysis, the four tall porcelain bowls placed on the altar in the Buddha Cave were once placed there as offerings, and they are absolutely no less than those in the coffin. Why are these four bowls left? "

Feng Lao brushed his messy hair and sat directly opposite Zhou Ning.

"You said this, I also thought about it. I went into the cave of the Buddha statue and took a closer look later. The red cloak on the standing Buddha has been around for more than ten or twenty years, and it has been dilapidated. As for the cave of the Buddha statue, there are definitely more treasures. Exotic treasure.

The few waves of people you mentioned may have taken some of them in batches, but where is this?Our Chinese ancestors had a saying that it is better to believe what is there than to believe what is not, so even if you are doing tomb robbery for a living, you will not evacuate it, even if you leave something symbolically.

As for the coffins, these coffins are inlaid on the wall of the cave, and the bottom seems to be supported by wood. In fact, one is pressed against the other, and the design is very delicate. If it is not removed, even if the method of opening the coffin lid is cracked, The same is unable to open. "

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. This series of explanations said he was asking Feng Lao. In fact, Zhou Ning also hoped to get an answer, because he really couldn't figure it out, and he listened to Feng Lao's words.

Indeed, even if several waves of people came in and took away the precious funeral objects, opening the coffin was indeed a psychological challenge for non-professionals.

To put it bluntly, these people who came here are not poor enough, so there is no need to do such a desperate thing.

At this moment, Elder Feng went on to say:

"By the way, I don't know if you took samples from the surface of the coffin and the gaps in the mechanism?"

Zhou Ning paused, then looked at Da Zhao, who thought about it and said:
"On the surface of the coffin, we collected the first few, just wiped the colored paint on the top and sides. Is there any problem with this?"

"In our line of work, it can be said that there are some taboos. In fact, the cave of this tomb is partially preserved. There are usually organs or things left on this kind of coffin. After all, many people also have short lives because of this.

Before I came, I asked Director Cui to mail me the sample. Just now, our laboratory sent me the test report. Director Zhou, please take a look. Do you know what this thing is? "

Zhou Ning glanced at the inspection report, which was full of component analysis. In addition to paint and other substances, there were also amino acids such as arginine, aspartic acid, serine, and glutamic acid. The enlarged words read Ricin.

Seeing this, Zhou Ning was taken aback.

"The workers and everyone who touched the coffin, did they clean it up in time, and did they go for a medical examination?"

Old Feng smiled, and glanced at Director Cui, that look seemed to say look, I guessed right.

"Don't worry, the workers and all the people who have touched the coffin, just now we asked everyone to brush their hands carefully, and did blood collection and hand collection. I asked you and hope that all the people who have touched the coffin will be checked in time."

Zhou Ning nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're okay. Whether it's the first time we enter by mistake or we go to investigate later, we always wear gloves, and we also carefully disinfect our hands when we enter and exit. This is professional, but inspection is still necessary."

Da Zhao leaned over and looked at the report with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ricin, I know about castor beans. It seems that people in the past used castor beans to scramble eggs when they couldn't have children. They would give birth immediately after eating them. However, they all know that this is a powerful medicine. It cannot be used easily. Hurt people's lives, is this poisonous?"

"There is no impurity mentioned in the report. Obviously, the ricin is extracted very purely, and this thing soaks into the paint. People who don't understand touch it with bare hands, and then touch the food. The mild case is poisoned and diarrhea, and the severe case is poisoned to death. .”

Da Zhao subconsciously glanced at Old Feng. He was wearing two layers of latex gloves.

"That is to say, the toxin also accidentally protected the coffin. Even if someone who does not give up touches the bush, it is mild to vomit and have diarrhea after going back. In severe cases, he may die directly."

Elder Feng nodded.

"That's what I mean. Also, although the other six coffins have not been opened, I can conclude that the general form of burials inside is this way. After cremation, the ashes are placed in jars and placed in the coffin. The remaining space is full. It's a funeral object, and it may not have much to do with what you're investigating."

Zhou Ning nodded with a smile, he understands Mr. Feng's kindness.

"Investigating a case is actually a method of elimination. Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your help. At least you have helped me eliminate one factor. Then we will not disturb your research. Just give us the photo of the coffin after it was opened, which is required in the report."

Old Feng was not polite, he knew that Zhou Ning had other matters, so he asked Director Cui to send the two of them out, and Da Zhao started the car and sighed.

"I said that this is not a waste of work. After a round of tossing, it is full of antiques. It has nothing to do with the case we are investigating. How do you say that?"

"Don't talk nonsense, go to the laboratory, do you know the location of the local university?"

"Don't worry, just navigate there."

Zhou Ning ignored Da Zhao's thoughts.

The two followed the navigation and arrived at the local university. The car just stopped at the guard, and the security guard ran out directly. One was busy saluting, and the other went to open the gate, and ran over with a salute and a smile.

"You are experts from Qindao, right? Our school leaders have explained that you are here to go directly to the science and technology building on the east side. Other experts are in the laboratory on the east side of the second floor."

Da Zhao politely passed the gate, and he was relieved.

"I said, this level is a bit high. The school leaders and the guards have explained it so carefully. Obviously, the number of the car we drive has been notified. The work is so meticulous, which shows that the ability is not lacking, but the lack of development. opportunity."

Zhou Ning nodded.

"It's hard for a smart woman to live without rice, and this school is the same. The local people want to invest, but they are stuck because they don't have the money. The test scores should be better. I wouldn't choose to study here, so the students are basically from the province.

In fact, this is also an advantage. The school can adjust the direction of training. One is to improve the proportion of disciplines for local ordinary students, and choose disciplines suitable for local work and application. The other is to attract foreign students, so they must cultivate in the leading direction of advanced disciplines. "

Da Zhao looked thoughtful.

"I seem to understand the intentions of the leaders. The development of the Qinda Science and Technology Center has reached a bottleneck. It cooperates with other institutions to create an industrial chain of high-tech disciplines. From the research and development, manufacturing, assembly, and mechanized control of related equipment, Talent training in criminal investigation related disciplines.

If you really follow this routine and change the name of a high school here, it will really be the vanguard of industry, education and research. These coincide with the five-year plan. I say this idea is too good, right I remember that Qin University was going to carry out the scientific research project of robot bomb disposal, can it also be moved here? "

Before Zhou Ning could speak, a voice sounded from behind. The unsuspecting two people were startled. They turned around and saw a little old man with little stars in his eyes.

"You are from Qindao, right? This vision is really different. Welcome to Hexi College."

Zhou Ning was a little embarrassed, but Da Zhao was indifferent, rushing to shake hands with the old man.

"Thank you, sir. We want to go to the laboratory. Do you know where the experts we came here are?"

The old man pointed to the east side with a smile, and said quickly:

"Let's go, I'll take you there, and I happen to be going to deliver materials too."

The three of them came to the laboratory together. After pushing the door, Mr. Hu and the others all looked over. It seemed that they were a little surprised to see the old man, and Mr. Hu hurried over.

"Principal Wang, why are you here together?"
