Thirteen prisons

Chapter 21 Spontaneous Combustion
Lu Ming's expression made Zhou Yuan understand that he was not joking.Lu Ming and Hu Dongdong have two completely different personalities. Lao Hu is thoughtful and decisive when it comes to cases, but he is usually careless and informal.Lu Ming is different. No matter what he does at any time, he is strict and serious in dealing with people, but it is very rare to be so serious and serious.

For the first time since seeing Lin He burning up in front of his eyes, Zhou Yuan really felt fear.Because he saw that Lu Ming's hand holding the paper was visibly shaking, which is not what a young and promising doctor should do.The only explanation is that Lu Ming is very nervous.

What are you nervous about?That piece of paper was just an ordinary facial tissue that Lao Hu had just pulled out from the paper box on the table.Zhou Yuan can be sure that there is nothing wrong with this box of paper. It was bought by his parents when the supermarket was on sale, and more than half of it has been used by now.Why is Lu Ming so cautious, even a little afraid?

If you are facing a big enemy?Such a word suddenly popped up in Zhou Yuan's head, and he immediately felt it was very real. This is indeed the feeling Lu Ming gave him at this time.

The atmosphere in the room became silent because of Lu Ming's seriousness.

Neither Zhou Yuan nor Lao Hu spoke, knowing that the answer lies in Lu Ming's next actions.But Zhou Yuan was still wrong, he thought there was something wrong with that piece of paper.But Lu Ming rubbed the paper casually and threw it into the ashtray.

Then, Lu Ming took out something from his bag.

Zhou Yuan recognized it at a glance, he was very familiar with it, it was a test tube containing blood samples.Lu Ming used this to hold his blood samples in the hospital before.At this time, the translucent glass tube that Lu Ming took out still had half a tube of blood in it.

"Whose is this?" Zhou Yuan asked, although he knew that there was an 80.00% chance that this tube of blood belonged to him.

As expected, Lu Ming said, "Who else could?"

Zhou Yuan suppressed the doubts in his heart and stopped talking.Seeing that Lu Ming carefully tilted the blood in the test tube, the movement was extremely cautious and slow, as if doing something dangerous, he carefully controlled the test tube to fall towards the ashtray on the ground.Lu Ming controlled it very well, only one drop of blood dripped down the mouth of the test tube, and then he quickly closed it back, and then pressed the cap of the mouth of the test tube tightly.

"What the hell are you doing?" Zhou Yuan couldn't stand the solemn atmosphere.He saw the drop of blood dripping from mid-air onto the toilet paper curled up in the ashtray, and soon soaked a red trace. For some reason, all of this suddenly made him feel panicked.

Lu Ming put the test tube into his pocket, then looked at him and said, "See for yourself."

After saying this, Lu Ming pursed his lips tightly, still looking nervous, but there was more expectation in his eyes.A few minutes passed, the paper and blood remained unchanged, Zhou Yuan's eyes were sore, he raised his head to look at Lu Ming, he was still staring at that position nervously, without blinking his eyelids, and Lao Hu even more so. Patience, he squatted next to the ashtray. He was tall, and it was an uncomfortable position to squat forward, but Lao Hu didn't move.

Zhou Yuan was panicked and irritable, and his mood was very complicated due to the intertwining of several emotions, but seeing that they were so patient, he could only continue to watch.

Maybe a few more minutes, or ten minutes?Zhou Yuan couldn't remember exactly how long it was, but suddenly, something really changed!
The paper in the ashtray moved.

"Huh?" Lao Hu called out immediately.But then shut up again.Because he soon discovered that the paper was only moving because Lu Ming crumpled it too tightly when he threw it in the ashtray, creating a stretching effect.Zhou Yuan felt a little relieved, and just wanted to make a joke about Lao Hu's fuss, but immediately his mind was all focused on the scene in front of him: a puff of smoke came out of the ashtray.

"Fuck!" Lao Hu took a step back suddenly, but forgot that he was squatting, and fell to the ground, but his eyes did not leave for a moment.Under the non-stop gaze of the six eyes of the three people, the smoke on the toilet paper in the ashtray suddenly became thicker, and then a ball of bright flames burst out, followed by a small crackling sound. The paper burned in a billowing flame right before their eyes.

A piece of facial tissue is very thin, and the burning time is very short, and the fire is completely extinguished in a dozen seconds.Watching the ashtray turn into a pile of curled gray-black matter.The three of them involuntarily increased their breathing, and the pile of paper ash rolled gently under the air of breathing.

No one spoke, because they didn't know what to say. For a long time, they all kept their postures and didn't move.

"I don't believe it." Zhou Yuan finally spoke first.He couldn't believe that blood could set a Kleenex on fire, even though it was happening right in front of his eyes.

Looking at Lu Ming, Zhou Yuan felt cold all over.Lu Ming's image seemed deformed in his eyes at the moment, and Zhou Yuan had an unreal feeling that he was having a nightmare.

"Lu Ming, what did you do?" Lao Hu suddenly snatched the test tube from Lu Ming's bag, and unplugged it.

Lu Ming immediately shouted: "Be careful, don't touch that blood!"

"Don't worry." Hu Dongdong turned around and hid, quickly took another piece of toilet paper from the carton and pressed it into the ashtray, and then he dripped a few drops of blood from the test tube.

The blood dripped on the paper, leaving a trace as quickly as before, spreading red on the paper.Maybe it was because of the large amount of blood, this time the fire started faster than before, within ten minutes at the most, the flames sprang up on the piece of paper, faster than the first time.

The smell of burning tissue paper is not pure, and I don't know if it is a psychological effect. There is a fishy smell mixed in the smell produced by burning, and Zhou Yuan suddenly feels like vomiting.

In this situation, he had no choice but to believe everything in front of him, he believed in Lu Ming.

This is no joke.

Zhou Yuan looked at Lu Ming, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't ask a word.He knew in his heart that this had nothing to do with Lu Ming, but at this moment he resented Lu Ming, because everything he showed had completely defeated the luck in Zhou Yuan's heart.

The scene of Lin He's death was played back in front of his eyes. He was burned into a ball of fire, crying and rolling, just like this piece of paper.Desperation and fear made Zhou Yuan tremble all over.

"Zhou Yuan, I don't believe it either, but the facts are the facts. The blood and the paper are all real." Lu Ming stood there and said, I don't know if it was an illusion, Zhou Yuan felt that there was some light in his eyes at such a moment

"What did he say to you on the phone?" Old Hu's face was livid.Although Zhou Yuan had heard about the scene of Lin He's spontaneous combustion, he was also greatly shocked to witness the shock, even though it was only a piece of paper that burned.He believed in Lu Ming that the test tube was just blood, not a trick.

"It's that third party." Lu Ming wiped his face, "I don't know how he found me. He called me directly and asked me to bring a blood sample to find you. Then he asked me to do this burning experiment just now. This In the end, I was just like you, seeing it for the first time. I... I... don't know what to say."

Lu Ming couldn't continue.Like Zhou Yuan, he was also overwhelmed by the facts before him.At this moment, the scientific and rational world view that a highly educated doctor has admired all his life was subverted by the facts in an instant.And all the previous speculations finally had a living proof!
The phone rang again, Zhou Yuan trembled all over, and suddenly there was a tinge of anticipation in despair, since this person knows so much, does it mean that he can cure me?

Zhou Yuan almost rushed to grab Lu Ming's cell phone and let out a hello.

"See? Mr. Zhou." The voice asked.Without waiting for Zhou Yuan to answer, he immediately continued in a stern voice: "This matter, you must not let other people know! Otherwise, you will have countless troubles. Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course Zhou Yuan understands that if the fact that blood can burn paper is known to the public, they will definitely regard him as a monster.His words are not so much a warning as an advice, because this is the naked reality.

"I won't say it, but please tell me the reason why you did this. I..." Zhou Yuan wanted to ask him how he found Lu Ming, and asked him to tell him how much he knew?I also want to know what happened to me.There are too many questions, and I am at a loss for words when I am in a confused mood.

"A fire broke out in your hospital today, how do you think the fire started?" the other party said suddenly.

"What do you mean?"

"It was you who started the fire."

"How is it possible?" Zhou Yuan subconsciously denied loudly.Lao Hu and Lu Ming watched him yelling into the phone, but they couldn't help. They looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

"Your body has changed. Lu Ming gave you bloodletting treatment. This method is very correct, but he was too careless, and your blood was stained on the sheet."

"How do you know..." Zhou Yuan was extremely surprised, as if he saw it on the spot.

"I am very clear about what you did in the hospital. The facts are right in front of you, do you still have doubts? You are an adult, and you should know the consequences of arson and this strange disease being known to the public." The other party said There is some impatience in the words.

He was right.

Zhou Yuan immediately figured out the details of the fire: the quilt was stained with Zhou Yuan's blood, and after they left, the quilt was taken away by the laundryman, and the blood burned, igniting the quilt and causing the fire.Thinking about it this way, it is so logical.

"Come to me, I will tell you everything you want to know, and treat you." The person on the phone said, "If you don't come, you will be like Lin He, how to choose, you make the decision, I will just wait You two days."

"Looking for you? Treat me?" Zhou Yuan's heart was beating wildly. The temptation of these words was no small matter to him, but Zhou Yuan was not completely dizzy and didn't agree right away. He wanted to ask more questions, at least Find out who he is and what his purpose is.

But the other party didn't give this opportunity and hung up the phone directly.

Zhou Yuan called back immediately, but it was always a blind tone, and he couldn't get through to this number no matter what.After putting down the phone, he only felt limp all over. This series of events made his mind and body seem to be sucked away by something, and he was extremely exhausted.

A minute later, the phone rang again.A text message came from that phone number.
