Raising Gu Notes

001 Fish Thief

"In order to solve the historical mystery of 'Guangxu's death' in the late Qing Dynasty, since 2003, leaders and experts from China Central Television, Qingxi Mausoleum Cultural Relics Management Office, China Institute of Atomic Energy, Beijing Public Security Bureau Forensic Inspection and Appraisal Center, etc. Formed the special research group of "Cause of Emperor Guangxu's Death in Qing Dynasty". The experts lasted for five years, started with Emperor Guangxu's arsenic, and used a series of modern professional Technical means, according to scientific calculations, Guangxu's hair section and clothing contained highly toxic arsenic trioxide, or arsenic, and the total amount of arsenic in his naked body was as high as about 200 mg. According to this speculation, Guangxu may have died of arsenic poisoning..."

"Arsenic poisoning?" Xie Lin, who had just returned to the dormitory, saw a newspaper on the ground as soon as he entered the door. He turned on the fluorescent lamp in the room, glanced at it casually, and found that the newspaper was mostly advertisements for diet pills or health care products.Only this news report on Guangxu's death aroused Schelling's interest.

It’s just that when Xie Lin saw the end of the article, he found that the article used the topic again and began to promote some kind of detoxification tea, saying that the food that everyone eats on weekdays is becoming more and more unhygienic and healthy. What melamine, what gutter oil, if everyone If you can insist on drinking a cup of this detoxification herbal tea every day, you will be able to expel the toxins in your body.The article also used the mouth of a certain expert to ridicule, saying that the arsenic in Emperor Guangxu may be a chronic poison. If he had also drank this detoxification medicinal tea at that time, maybe the arsenic in his body could also be discharged, and he would not have died so early. .

"That's okay too?" Schelling couldn't help crying and laughing, secretly sighing that the author of this article is really talented, and he can still describe the advertisement with such "connotation" and "depth".

He threw the newspaper into the trash can beside the bed, put down his backpack, and walked to the balcony.

The balcony is inside, so the so-called balcony is really just a big glass window.On the left side of the window, there is a small square table, on which there is a telephone and a glass fish tank.

There were a few goldfishes in the glass tank, and after Xie Lin counted them carefully, he let out a surprise, showing surprise on his face.

During the summer vacation, because Xie Lin was the only boy in the class staying at school, he sometimes felt bored when he returned to the dormitory. A dozen small goldfish have been kept in the dormitory ever since.He originally thought it would be cheap anyway, and he wouldn't feel bad if he died, so he didn't bother to take care of it except for changing the water and feeding it.

However, these few goldfish are quite competitive. Although their appearance is not good, and they seem listless all day long, and they don’t eat much, after more than a month, two of these goldfish died, and the other goldfish grew slightly. However, the size of a fingernail is now mostly half the size of a thumb.

But for some reason, in the past week, the goldfish he raised had problems one after another.To be more precise, these goldfish disappeared inexplicably one after another, and no bones were left behind.And every day, no more and no less, there will always be a goldfish missing, as if it disappeared out of thin air

After a week, there are only three small goldfish left in the fish tank.

Logically speaking, if the goldfish died of illness, it is impossible for the body to disappear, so Schelling wondered if there was a cat hiding in the dormitory and stealing the fish while he was away.So he searched in the dormitory, but found nothing.

Logically speaking, even if a cat enters the dormitory, it is unlikely to eat the fish in the water.And after discovering the inexplicable disappearance of the goldfish, every time he went out, Xie Lin would deliberately close the doors and windows tightly, so even mosquitoes could not fly in during the day, let alone cats.

But every night when Xie Lin returned to the dormitory, he would find that there must be one less goldfish in the fish tank.

This made Schelling puzzled and helpless.

But today, Xie Lin originally thought that there would be one less goldfish, but when he looked at it just now, he found that there were still three goldfish in the fish tank, and no goldfish disappeared like a few days ago.

Strange!Schelling murmured, stayed there for a few seconds, then shook his head, turned and went into the bathroom on the right, and started to shower.

Now is the hottest season of the year, especially in the south, August is the season of midsummer, and it is still very early before autumn.Although it is past ten o'clock in the evening, the dormitory and even the outside are still hot and sweltering. It is a long way from the library to the dormitory. Xie Lin was already sweating profusely, and he didn't bother to think about why no goldfish disappeared today. I just want to take a quick shower and cool myself down.

After washing his hair, Xie Lin was about to put some soap on his body, when suddenly there was a sound of bubbling in the toilet behind him, which sounded like boiling water in a kettle.

And the strange sound kept ringing.

Plop, plop, plop!Plop, plop, plop!flutter...

But Xie Lin didn't turn his head back, and the movements of his hands accelerated a lot. He wiped the soap on his body a few times, and immediately turned on the faucet to flush the water.

At this time, a strange smell came out of the toilet, as if the whole bathroom had suddenly become a sewer.

Xie Lin cursed in a low voice, didn't even care about the soap bubbles on his feet that hadn't been washed off, and ran out of the bathroom as if fleeing, closed the door of the bathroom again, then patted his chest, and said Exhale.

The flush toilet in Xie Lin's dormitory is different from the sitting toilet used at home, but a squat pit.In the past few days, the water under the squatting pit often suddenly churned, just like boiling water, making a sound of bubbling, and bubbling continuously, like a fountain.

And every time at this time, there will be bursts of strange smell in the squatting pit, like the rotten smell of dead rats, and like the smell of rotten eggs, in short, it is extremely unpleasant, as if the water in the sewer has flowed back.

For the first few times, Xie Lin was caught off guard for a while, and was so disgusted by the stench that he couldn't recover for a long time.

But Xie Lin lived on the sixth floor, which was the top floor of this dormitory building. Logically speaking, even if the pipes were blocked, it was impossible for the water from the sewer to flow back here.And when the water in the squatting pit was churning at the beginning, Xie Lin also suppressed his nausea and looked at the squatting pit, and found that the churning water in the squatting pit was still very clear, not sewage, so the strange smell was also very strong Strange.

Xie Lin also went to the school's logistics staff, but after hearing him that the toilet was not clogged, the other party suggested that he buy some toilet liquid, flush the toilet in time after defecation, and sent him back.

By now, Xie Lin was getting used to it, as soon as he heard the plopping sound, he would immediately close the toilet door and stay away from the toilet.

Afterwards, Xie Lin dried his hair, simply put on a pair of underpants, and left the dormitory to the balcony at the end of the corridor where the wind was blowing.

It is estimated that there are no more than one person living on the sixth floor, and it is almost time to turn off the lights, so the entire floor is extremely quiet, and no one bothers Xie Lin.

There was no wind on the balcony, and it was very hot, the sky was very dark, and dark clouds were gathering. The weather forecast said that there would be a heavy rain in the middle of the night. It was estimated that this was the last calm before the heavy rain.

Xie Lin stood silently for a while, waited until eleven o'clock, that is, when the lights of the school were uniformly turned off, and then walked back.

Just when he reached the door of the dormitory, he stopped suddenly.

Plop, plop, plop...

The sound like boiling water in the toilet has not stopped!

Xie Lin couldn't help being a little strange. A few days ago, the toilet usually returned to normal within three to five minutes, but now Xie Lin has been standing outside for half an hour. Logically speaking, the sound should have stopped long ago.

It's just that although the sound of splashing did not stop, the water in the squatting pit was obviously still churning, but the stench had dissipated, and the air had returned to normal, although the boys' dormitory could not smell so good Go, but Xie Lin usually cleans fairly diligently, and there is no unpleasant smell in the dormitory.

But Xie Lin hesitated for a while and still didn't rush into the dormitory. The water in the squatting pit kept churning, and there was no telling when the strange smell would come out again. Xie Lin still had lingering fears about the stench, but he didn't want to smell more .

After waiting another five or six minutes, the sound of plopping in the toilet still didn't stop, and Xie Lin also lost his patience and stepped in.

It's just that he just turned around and closed the door when the plopping sound in the toilet suddenly stopped, and the room suddenly became extremely silent.

But then, a strange sound suddenly sounded from the toilet, breaking the silence in the room.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

It was as if someone was washing their face or feet in the toilet.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Although the voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in this silent night.

Even though Xie Lin was bold, he still couldn't help the hairs all over his body standing on end. It seemed that the stuffy room suddenly turned cold, which made him feel an inexplicable chill.

"Who?" Xie Lin couldn't help asking.

As soon as Xie Lin made a sound, the buzzing sound suddenly stopped, and within two seconds, the sound sounded again.

Hush, huh, huh!huh huh huh...

The voice became more urgent and louder.

It was as if someone was stirring the water in the washbasin quickly.

Thieves?

But just now, Xie Lin didn't notice whether someone entered his bedroom at the end of the corridor.

After being stunned for a moment, Xie Lin held his breath and reached out to pick up the broom by the door, but just as he picked up the broom, he put it down again, picked up the chair closest to him with his backhand, and then quietly walked towards the toilet go.

If you really got into a thief, just a broom is not enough.

But at this moment, the sound of the water suddenly stopped, and the sound in the room immediately resumed.
