Chapter 96 The Scarlet Tentacle of the Insect Body

Although Ma Baoguo's performance was somewhat exaggerated, it was not unexpected.

Looking at the extremely anxious Ma Baoguo, Li Tianque certainly knew what he was thinking.

The case was at an impasse, and Ma Baoguo naturally wished that the scientific research team would leave quickly, so he would naturally transfer the case to his superiors for investigation.

When the murder case first happened, because Li Tianque himself was a suspect, Ma Baoguo was confident that he could solve the case in a short time.

At that time, he thought that he was a blessing in disguise and could handle a major case before the end of his term of office.

But now that the case has taken a turning point, the most important suspect has been released on bail to participate in solving the case together, which is troublesome.

If any accident happened to the scientific research team at this time, then he would naturally have to bear a lot of responsibility.

However, Ma Baoguo's objection could not play a decisive role.

Whether the scientific research team leaves tomorrow or not, it still has to follow the leader Lu Zuzhi's wishes.

Lu Zuzhi didn't express his opinion on Li Tianque's suggestion immediately, but fell silent.

He stroked the black ball in his hand, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

Li Tianque could feel that Lu Zuzhi's breathing seemed a little heavy, and he didn't calm down after a while.

Li Tianque looked at him, smiled and said:

"Professor Lu, in the current situation, I suggest that we leave later. After all, it's not safe to leave here rashly before the investigation is clear."

But Lu Zuzhi didn't listen to Li Tianque's words at all, thinking about it on his own.

After a while, Lu Zuzhi said:

"That's how it is. Transfer the day after tomorrow. I'll give you one day. It would be better if you can solve the case. If you can't, we don't have time to stay here."

Two days were missing, but Li Tianque didn't intend to bargain, so he replied straightforwardly:
"Okay, that's it."

"Hey... What do you mean you just made a decision? The superior has already arranged for someone to pick up the scientific research team tomorrow, so you can make a decision?" Ma Baoguo was anxious again.

"Then let them wait for a day, if it doesn't work, I'll tell them." Li Tianque said seriously.

Before Ma Baoguo could refute, Li Tianque said to Lu Zuzhi:
"Professor Lu, you must also know that this Chuerwu is very dangerous. In order to ensure your safety during the experiment, I think it is necessary for us in the laboratory to protect you."

When Lu Zuzhi heard this proposal, he immediately shook his head and said:

"No, I can handle it.

I can judge that most of the Chu Erwu in this black ball should have died, and only one or two survived, which is easy to deal with. "

After speaking, Lu Zuzhi put the black ball on the experimental table, looked at the two of them, and said softly:
"If you are still not at ease, I can also open it now."

Ma Baoguo doesn't know what this Chuerwu is, but because he also participated in the investigation of the bizarre case of Siweiweihe before, he is also a little afraid of this legendary monster.

Lu Zuzhi was about to release Chu Erwu, but Ma Baoguo took out a pistol and held it in his hand, looking very nervous.

Li Tianque didn't object, although he could directly remove the black ball and absorb it back into the black organization.

But Li Tianque didn't want to expose her ability to this scientist.

Li Tianque had already received secrecy training. Without the ability to deal with public opinion well, he had to hide his ability and nuclear worm-related information as much as possible.

After listening to Lu Zuzhi's previous description, the so-called Chuerwu seems to be an insect called "Velvet Tiger Beetle", not a nuclear worm.

That's why Li Tianque handed Chu Erwu to him. It would be better if the other party could confirm it. If not, he could learn more information from him.

Lu Zuzhi first lifted the black ball, and then used a flask holder to put it on top of a glass jar, and poured two viscous transparent liquids into the glass jar.

There was a pungent smell in the air, and Lu Zuzhi stirred the two transparent liquids with a glass rod.

Normal insect specimens are prepared by pin insertion, dipping or sealing into glass slides.

However, judging from the equipment and solution used by Lu Zuzhi, he obviously wanted to make the velvet tiger armor into artificial amber, and the material he used was epoxy resin glue.

Li Tianque frowned slightly. Although he didn't have a deep research on insects, he knew at least one thing:

The insect specimens produced by this method will definitely be damaged by their own structure, and it is not conducive to scientific observation.

But after all, Lu Zuzhi is an expert. Since he wanted to do this, he might have his own reasons, so Li Tianque didn't dissuade him.

In this way, Lu Zuzhi then sealed the top of the glass box with a partition, and then cut a hole under the black ball with a long and narrow scalpel.

After the black ball cracked, Lu Zuzhi quickly pulled out the knife, and then completely sealed the glass box.

In this way, along the opening, the corpses of two downy tiger beetles were squeezed out.

Only then did Li Tianque see clearly the true face of this terrifying bug.

This kind of weird bug is black all over, with a flat and soft carapace, covered with a thick layer of black fluff.

The short legs of the velvet tiger beetle look a bit like black gnats at first glance.

However, the velvet tiger armor that fell into the liquid is still very different from ordinary insects.

Li Tianque found that these insects were not only very large in size, but also had some red granulation on their bodies.

Looking closely, I found that these granulations are a bit like the red tentacles in anime.

Although the two velvet tiger beetles are dead, the red tentacles on their bodies are still trembling, like bulging shoots, making people uncomfortable to watch.

"Do these black bugs have this kind of thing on them?" Li Tianque asked.

Lu Zuzhi was obviously stunned for a moment, and he said after a while:

"No, it may be infected with some kind of mold..."

Li Tianque observed carefully, but of course he didn't believe the mold.

The corpses of these two velvet tiger beetles were slowly submerged in the transparent liquid, and a long and narrow dark red tentacles quietly appeared in the gap between the black balls.

The tentacles probed outside, seemingly hesitating.

Then, that weird laugh came from the black ball again:

"Hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee..."

This laughter was very sharp, and Li Tianque was no stranger to it.

"Professor Lu... If those tentacles can be explained by mold, then these strange sounds may be difficult to explain."

"Is this thing making this laughter? It's too human-like, it's just a woman's laughter!" Ma Baoguo also felt very incredible about this.

Professor Lu didn't take it seriously, and explained solemnly:

"This is normal. This velvet tiger beetle has the same structure as a cicada. It has a vocalizer in its abdominal muscles. The structure of a cicada's vocalizer is a bit like that of a drum. There is a hollow space between the cover plate and the tympanic membrane.

However, the sounder structure of the velvet tiger armor is a bit like a flute, so the sound it makes is relatively thin.

By the way, this sound also has a hallucinogenic effect. Many people who have been in contact with this insect have experienced auditory hallucinations. "

Lu Zuzhi looked at Li Tianque meaningfully.

Li Tianque was slightly taken aback, recalling the experience by the river, he really felt that those voices at that time were very strange, as if they were directly generated in his own brain.

When the three of them continued to observe, the velvet tiger armor hidden in the crack had protruded a front foot.

It still seemed hesitant to come out.

At this moment, Lu Zuzhi pulled hard, and then slapped the back of the black ball violently.

"Puff dong..."

Lu Zuzhi's slap had an effect, and the velvet tiger armor couldn't support in the larger crack that was torn under the impact force, and soon fell down.

Its abdomen and legs hooked indiscriminately, trying to hook the final point of force, and the sickle-shaped upper jaw swayed violently.

After struggling, it quickly sank into the epoxy glue in the glass box.

It was also at this time that a mass of dark red mist began to spread from its abdomen.

After the dark red substance spread out, several tentacles gradually separated out, and stopped after a few wriggles.

The sharp laughter also stopped abruptly.

Lu Zuzhi poured all the remaining insect corpses in the black ball into the glass box, and then said to Li Tianque and Ma Baoguo:

"Okay, now I don't want to be disturbed by anyone. If you have any other questions, please leave me a message on WeChat."

With that said, he pushed Li Tianque and Ma Baoguo out of the door.

At this moment, Li Tianque suddenly saw an incredible scene in the glass box!
