Chapter 24 Master's Secret

My master called me.He is not abroad, he should be sleeping soundly at this time, why did he think of looking for me?

I answered the phone.Master went straight to the point, asking if I went to see my father?

My first reaction was surprise, and I thought how did he know, but then I looked back at the mental hospital, and I understood, it must be the military commander, who gave me a small "report". In this way, Master and Jiang Shaoyan are together.

My heart is beating hard.

Master saw that I hadn't said anything for a while, so he guessed it, and asked me again, "Xiao Leng, what do you think of me treating you?"

I stuttered and admitted from the bottom of my heart that Master is really kind to me.After all, I'm a gentleman, and I can't lie about this kind of thing. In the end, I nodded and admitted, and even said that Master treats me like my own son.

Master smiled, and my answer made him feel emotional, saying that he has only had me as his apprentice in his life, and he only wants to have me as his apprentice.Then he changed the subject and said that it was not accidental that he went to the provincial office. There are many secrets in it, and he can't tell me now, but he emphasized that if I can't trust the crow, I should at least trust him. Don't make trouble at such a critical time. From tomorrow In the beginning, live as you want to live, and everything is normalized.

I savored it carefully, and a thought suddenly popped into my head, I wondered if Jiang Shaoyan was not a bad person?But what other cases in the province need to be followed up?The crow and my master are both playing a smoke bomb to let the living corpse case be closed first, but actually they are slowly following the clues to catch big fish?

My heart is itchy, because I am in a puzzle, and I am completely blind. If Master can explain it in detail, I will understand a little bit, and I will stop thinking about it.

But the master didn't want to say more, and told me that the crow gave me a gift these days, and I don't know if I took it or not. He hoped that I could study it carefully. If I really can't bear it, I can wrap it in tin foil Live, just keep it secretly.

I knew that this gift referred to the small tripod, but I didn't expect that Master also mentioned tin foil.

The master said that he was still working overtime, so he hung up the phone without further chatting.

For a moment, my heart was both hot and a little uncomfortable, and also cold and a little shivering.I stopped pushing the car, and parked on the side of the road. I sat on the curb, curled up in a ball, which made me feel better, and I smoked another cigarette to think about it.

I didn't have an idea in the end, but I felt that Master had already reminded me that it would be bad for me to "make trouble".Especially my father and I will definitely not be in danger of life. In this case, show a normal attitude towards life and wait and see.

With an "optimistic" attitude, I rode a bike to the suburban graveyard, trying to get Xiao Ding back.

I buried the tripod not long ago, especially at night, and no one stole it.But when I rushed to the designated place to take a look, I was stunned, and an accident happened.

The tripod was quietly placed in the pit, but outside the pit, surrounded by several big centipedes.I shone it with a small flashlight. The largest end was estimated to be [-] centimeters long and plump.

They are not standing still, they are crawling around violently, as if they want to rush into the pit.I don't want them to do this, otherwise how can I get the tripod?

I'm wearing platform shoes, who cares?He suddenly ran over and stomped on these poisonous insects.Press them into patties instantly with the sole of your shoe.

After these centipedes died, "water" came out, probably venom, and I didn't want to touch it, so I swept some soil with the soles of my shoes and buried them.

There were no poisonous insects on the small cauldron, so I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out my hand again, trying to hold it out.

I can't blame me for being sloppy. Just as I was holding the tripod, suddenly a little centipede crawled out of the tripod. It was so fast, whizzing, circled around the mouth of the tripod, and then retracted.

At this time, I am holding the flashlight in my mouth, so as to illuminate it.I can see clearly that this centipede is covered in black and purple, which is similar to the color inside the tripod. It must have huddled in a corner just now, deceiving my eyes by pretending.

I was taken aback. I was so excited that I almost swallowed my flashlight, but I also understood that this unusual centipede must be very poisonous. Those big centipedes didn't dare to come in because they were afraid of it.It didn't bite me, but I let go reflexively, letting Xiao Ding fall back into the pit again.

I have a headache, and with this black and purple centipede around, I dare not take the tripod.After much deliberation, I came up with a stupid trick. I took off one sock, crumpled it into a ball, and stuffed it into the mouth of the tripod, so that the black and purple centipede was trapped inside.

I quickly left the tripod again, put it in the basket of the bicycle, and just took it home with me.

Along the way, I also had a bold guess about tin foil.I also happen to have some tinfoil left at home, which I didn’t use up when I had a barbecue with my colleagues.

After I went upstairs, I wrapped the outside of the small tripod twice with tin foil, found some soil, small stones and fallen leaves, threw them into the glass jar where silkworms had been raised, and half-buried the tripod in it.

Because I know that poisonous insects like centipedes like this kind of environment, I plan to use this method to observe the purple centipede and Xiaoding for a while before talking.Of course, I took the time to pull out the socks, otherwise I would always be stuck on the small cauldron, and the black and purple centipede would surely be smothered to death.

After packing up, I went back to my bedroom and went to bed.I didn't sleep very well this time. On the one hand, I was thinking about Sun Jia's death. On the other hand, I would occasionally get up and run to the glass tank to have a look.

I found that wrapped in tin foil, the tripod lost the ability to attract insects, and those cockroaches did not appear in my house.

This makes me a little puzzled as to why tin foil has such a bizarre use, but I also believe that the answer will be clear sooner or later.

I didn't go to work the next day and stayed at home to take care of myself.In fact, the so-called nourishment is very simple, it is to sit around and watch TV when you have free time.In the evening, Xiaofan came to me with packed meals.

Of course we were not polite, so we ate and drank casually in the living room.Xiaofan told me something about today.

This time I was not here, brother Liu also died, there was a severe shortage of forensic doctors, team Zhang reported to the province, and in the morning a forensic doctor surnamed Li came to examine Sun Jia's body.

Xiaofan was in charge of recording. Judging from the results of the autopsy, a large amount of alcohol and a small amount of diazepam were found in Sun Jia's stomach, and there were no fatal injuries on the body surface. Combining these signs, Li forensic doctor concluded that Sun Jia died of poisoning. In addition, due to drug stimulation, she was also mentally disturbed before her death.

In normal times, I would definitely be dissatisfied with this conclusion, because I have seen Sun Jia's condition before his death, but now I have nothing to say, I just hum to Xiaofan to show that I understand.

Xiao Fan was willing to tell about Sun Jia, but he actually had some ideas. He looked at me incredulously, and asked, "Brother Leng, do you have anything to say?"

I shook my head and changed the subject to talk about something else.

Xiao Fan said one more thing, in fact, he really didn't take it as an important matter, just like telling a joke.He said that several colleagues in the police station today, including him, Captain Zhang and Yinyin, all received a strange call, but they didn't come to show it.

I was terribly shocked, and suddenly felt that this phone call was unusual.

Of course, apart from talking about these two things during this meal, I had a good time chatting with Xiaofan at other times.After that, Xiaofan said a few words of comfort, telling me to look away, and left.

I got another good night's sleep, woke up and went to work in a "normal" state.

For the next month, Li Forensic did not leave, and set up a team with me to be responsible for the forensic work in Wuzhou City.During this period, there were no strange cases, and those things were pressing in my heart, and they were slowly fading away.

At work, I seem to have returned to the previous track, but my family has changed a lot.

I caught the black and purple centipede, but I didn't expect it to be a female, it was already carrying eggs, it was really good, it hatched the eggs in the small tripod, and a bunch of centipede cubs were added to the glass jar.

I was influenced by Master in the past, raising wild silkworms blindly, although I am a layman compared with professional insect breeders, but I also know some common sense things.

I remember that it took a month and a half for the centipede to hatch from laying eggs, how could it take only one month for the black and purple centipede to get all these cubs out in the small cauldron?
In addition, the baby centipede should be milky white and look like a moth.Some of these young centipedes in front of them have other colors, some are pure black, and some are red.

I came up with an idea that these baby centipedes have mutated, and it should be this little tripod that can stimulate and assist them to mutate.

It wasn't long before I discovered the two uses of the small tripod.Master asked me to study Xiaoding more by name.I used to have a feeling of coping, but now I'm addicted.

This little tripod has a name, called X.I thought it was too ugly, so I changed my name and called it the magic tripod.

I remember that Master also had a house in Wuzhou, and he was still in the suburbs. I called him and asked him to lend me the key. I also made it clear that I wanted to use his house to catch and raise bugs. After all, it was close to the wild.

The master agreed straight away, and said to find a man named Iron Donkey and give me the key to his house.

I thought I didn't know the iron donkey, but one night, when the iron donkey knocked on my door and brought the keys, I found out that the iron donkey was the weapon to protect my father.

It was the second time we met, and Master must have said something to him. He was much more polite to me and even smiled.

People sent things all the way, and I couldn't receive the things, so I coaxed him to leave, and asked him if he wanted to come in for a drink.Iron Donkey shook his head, saying that he would go back immediately, this time might not be peaceful.

This injustice made me sensitive, thinking that something was wrong with my father.But he reassured me, and made a strange set of gestures.

He seems to be posing, using his finger as a flag or something.

I couldn't understand what he meant, he didn't explain anything in detail, left this mystery behind, turned his head and left.
