white night syndrome

Chapter 197 165. Why do these sneaky things? (seeking a monthly ticket)
Shirai's arrogant tone and defiant appearance annoyed the three people present, especially Li Ming, but at the same time they wondered whether this Shirai Kuranosuke was also a white dream patient, just pretending to be an NPC to tease them.

Things have come to this point, they can only do what the old man named Shirai Kuranosuke said, because the primary purpose now is to escape this white dream, not to be disturbed by other factors like Shirai in the final outcome.

As for what he said...

It's not something they want to consider now.

"Since Professor Shirai is so impatient, I would like to ask, what did you sort out here just now?"

Li Ming's sharp-edged face was full of coldness, and one hand was already reaching for the non-existent gun at his waist - he forgot to bring it before going out.

"I think everyone has been so honest with each other. Anyway, Professor Shirai, you also know that the rules of this world don't apply to me, so if you dare to play tricks with me, my muzzle has no eyes."

"Interesting performance." Shirai raised his eyebrows, and sat back on the desk casually, crossing his legs, "I'm just sorting out some materials that Professor Shan Baimeng borrowed from me before his death."

He had a natural expression and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

For this octogenarian, the psychology of microexpressions has lost its meaning.

"Are you sure?" Li Ming emphasized his tone, trying to get some extra clues from it.

"Shan Baimeng never puts important things where others can touch them." Baijing pursed his lips, tapped the table with his fingers a few times, with a natural expression on his face when he was caught in memories, "I am Shan Baimeng's first classmate, once studied together in the life science major of Shangying University..."

Then, Shirai changed the topic.

"Since that time in 1955, when Professor Yamashiro and I returned from our investigation in South America, I went on to study for a doctorate in entomology, and he and I have almost parted ways since then."

"Investigation in South America? What did you find?" Yuan Qingyu asked suspiciously.

"It's just a very ordinary biome." Shirai still smiled cheerfully, and slumped on the seat carelessly.

"Snapped!"

Seeing this, Li Ming immediately patted the table vigorously, trying to frighten the old man in front of him... no, it's an old thing.

Shirai didn't seem to pay attention to the people in front of him at all, he responded with a smile: "If I find anything, then I'm probably the one sitting here."

"Let's trust you once, then why did you come into contact with Shan Baimeng?" When Li Ming said this, there was ambiguity in it, because he wanted to overwhelm the other party in his heart, "No, why did you know each other?" Mountain Baimeng?"

"I, recently, I'm researching something called "biopheromone dye" with Mr. Sanshiro. Shirai spread his hands, "To be honest, this thing has no commercial value. If you want to know, I will be happy to explain the results of these labors to you. "

Then, Shirai involuntarily took out a few sheets of A4 paper from the stack of white papers on one side, which were covered with clear and recognizable black handwriting, and handed it to Li Ming who was facing him.

The beginning of the white paper is an important part of the daily experimental report, which is the summary of the title "biological pheromone dye".

"Biological pheromone dye is a chemical substance that can develop color for specific molecular structures in biological pheromones. It only needs a small amount of aqueous solution to develop color for a wide range of biological pheromones, and it can also Differentiating the aggregation, warning, marking, and tracing of these pheromones by color can provide a lot of convenience for entomological research.”

"It's an astonishing research result." Yuan Qingyu took the white paper from Li Ming's hand, his eyes widened as he looked down, and finally he sighed in surprise, "Then what is the synthesis method of this dye? I I think... if the results are put in the contemporary biological academic circle, it will definitely cause a sensation."

"This is a secret, don't say it."

Shirai chuckled lightly, dropped his legs, stood up, and stretched himself.

"Okay, guys, I've spent enough time in Mr. Shanbai's office, and it's time for me to do my own thing, so guys, see you next time."

Yuan Qingyu wanted to stop Bai Jing, but was stopped by Li Ming.

What Shirai said is right, even if he is stopped at this time, the gears of fate will eventually start to turn in an orderly manner. Since he can say such words with such assurance, it must be closely related to his preparations.

It is possible that he has already planted the foreshadowing in some places, and it is also possible that he has his own followers and will operate it when the time is right.

So if you do something to him now, it will actually increase the obstacles for the demining later.

Really old stuff.

I continued to search in Shan Baimeng's office, but found that I couldn't find any more clues and key points, which was incomprehensible.

Seeing that it was getting late, Kurosawa, who had been on the edge, came back to his senses and suggested finding a hotel or going directly to the Kurosawa chaebol to rest. In the end, everyone chose to go to the hotel.

After all, going to the Kurosawa chaebol to rest now may cause some unnecessary conflicts.

Finally, there was a little episode when the room was allocated...

There was only one big bed room and a single room left in the hotel, as if on purpose, Yuan Qingyu took the lead in choosing the single room, leaving only Heisawa and Li Ming looking at each other, and in the end they could only be forced to live together.

After the [-]th line was drawn, the two covered the same quilt, speechless.

After going through the first day of investigation, both of them may have some thoughts in their hearts, but...

"Li Ming, are you asleep?" Kurosawa's calm but trembling voice came from behind.

Since the bed in the big bed room is not wide enough, if two people want to communicate face to face, one of them will touch the other person's body parts when turning around. The relationship between the two was awkward before, but now it is even more embarrassing when encountering this scene.

So Li Ming didn't make a sound, but continued to pretend to be asleep.

"I know you haven't slept at all, I just want to ask you a question... What do you think about family affection?" Kurosawa said to himself, "A relative who grew up with you, on a certain day Sudden disappearance...I haven't seen it for three or four years, do you have the idea of ​​giving up?"

"Stop talking nonsense, go to sleep now, I know you're talking about the Black Ze watermelon, since you've entrusted me, then I will definitely do my best." Li Ming stared at the bloodshot eyes, carelessly answer.

"I really feel like I can't hold it any longer...I'm confused and blamed myself, I really don't know what to do...I actually found myself thinking of giving up. Is this despair? ?”

"Things that have been in vain for a long time, it is human nature to want to give up in the end. You don't need to blame yourself, let alone atone for your sins." Li Ming sighed, "I will tell you one last time, since you have entrusted me to find your sister's For the sake of money, I will definitely do my best, if in the end even you have the idea of ​​giving up, then no matter how much I do, it will be in vain."

"Hey..." Kurosawa's voice weakened, "Sometimes I really wonder... am I being too sensitive?"

"Stop talking nonsense, go to sleep!" Li Ming frowned.

"The future of the Kurosawa chaebol is on my shoulders. I used to think that my brother Kurosawa Umegusa gave me the succession because of his caress and affection for his sister as an older brother. Now it seems that he just threw all the burden on me. On me, he freed himself."

Kurosawa's voice sounded a little crying, she said softly.

"The Kurosawa Zaibatsu, my father Kurosawa Naoki was involved in a murder case three years ago in this white dream, my elder brother Kurosawa Mei Huicao has not been home for a long time, and my younger sister Kurosawa Suigua is even more so. My whereabouts are unknown, what should I do to make myself..."

Li Ming clicked his tongue and sighed, he adjusted his posture a little bit, turned around and faced Heisawa in front of him.

Kurosawa was still crying, and it was only at this moment that Li Ming realized that this Miss Kurosawa, who was going to be strong all her life, was also a girl in essence.

"Really."

Li Ming lightly placed his right hand on Heisawa's shoulder, it was a little warm, but his callused big hand wrapped around Heisawa's delicate shoulder, and with another force, Heisawa's body was already full.

"Who said you faced this alone? Don't you still have me?" Li Ming lowered her head and whispered in her ear, "For the sake of the commission you gave me, I will Reluctantly be your follower once."

"Itch..." Kurosawa's weeping voice was mixed with her tender voice, dodging the young man's soft kiss on the ear.

"Cough cough."

Li Ming desperately suppressed the fire of desire in his heart, and coughed a few times.

The two of them just kept this posture and fell into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, that is, the morning of the [-]th, Li Ming felt his neck itching in the mist, as if someone was stroking his throat.

Suddenly he woke up from the nightmare, and when he stretched his hand to his throat, he found that there was nothing there, and the girl was still in his arms, but at this moment, the girl's legs were already on his body, and the two of them were even closer. Like the helices in the gene sequence, they cross and blend with each other.

"It's time to wake up."

Li Ming gently shook the body of the girl in his arms, calling softly, then he gently put the legs on his body back to their original position with his right hand, touching the delicate and smooth skin, Li Ming felt his heart A little itchy.

Quickly flipping off the bed, Li Ming went into the bathroom, brought himself a cup of cold water to wash his face, and finally calmed down completely.

"Really..."

Li Ming clutched his forehead, trying to recall whether he had done anything outrageous to the girl last night, but a burst of alarm bells disturbed his mind.

I turned on the phone and saw that it was a message from Ms. Okamoto. It should be a feedback on the test results of the unknown substances seen at the crime scene yesterday.

"Good morning, Li Ming, regarding the unknown substances collected at the crime scene yesterday, I have obtained some due results."

"The bathroom of Mr. Shanbai's villa has dripped, and there are white traces. The traces contain sodium carbonate. Sodium carbonate has another name, which is baking soda.

According to the official explanation... Sodium carbonate is a white powder, tasteless and odorless, easily soluble in water, the aqueous solution is strongly alkaline, it will absorb moisture and agglomerate in humid air, and part of it will become sodium bicarbonate, etc. About For the explanation of sodium carbonate, you can find relevant answers on search engines, so I won't go into details here. "

"As well as the white powder around the corpse on the laboratory floor, the main component is sodium carbonate, and it contains a small amount of sodium oxalate and sodium formate. Sodium formate will be decomposed into sodium oxalate by heating, and further decomposed into sodium carbonate. The powder probably started out as sodium formate."

"I don't know the concept of so much sodium carbonate in Mr. Shan Baimeng's room. You need to analyze this point."

"I recommend that you go to the scene of the crime and watch it again after you get up in a while, because I just received a call from there, and it seems that the scene of the crime has changed again. It should be that Yamashiro Taro raided in the middle of the night. "

"Although I really don't understand why you want to target Mr. Yamashiro Taro like this, I think you should have your own reasons for doing this. After all, you are the policeman in charge of this case."

"Then that's all for now. I wish you a smooth investigation."

"By the way... when will you invite me to dinner?"

Why do you remember to invite me to dinner...

Li Ming laughed to himself, and after hastily washing up, he came out of the bathroom, and he saw Kurosawa who had already changed her clothes, but her face was slightly red.

The two walked out of the hotel in silence, and joined Yuan Qingyu who was having breakfast.

"Did anything happen to you two last night?" Yuan Qingyu asked while eating ramen, and then he smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was really sleepy last night, so I allocated a room When it was time, I didn't think about it at all, I just took the key and went to sleep."

"Nothing happened, it's just that I lay on the bed all night without moving, and it's just a little numb." Li Ming moved his wrist and neck, and glanced at the reddish-faced Kurosawa Mika, "Hey, Miss, what do you want to eat?"

"Soba noodles are fine." Kurosawa coughed softly.

"By the way, Ms. Okamoto sent me the test results just now, and also informed me about the change of the crime scene, so when we start the investigation today, let's go to the crime scene and have a look again." Li Ming suggested.

"The scene of the crime? What's changed?" Yuan Qingyu asked vaguely, "Isn't someone going to search for something in the middle of the night when you are not around? It seems that Yamabaitaro can do something. things."

"You can't be so absolute. After all, he is the eldest son of a well-known scientist. How could he do such sneaky things?"
