Volume 1: Linzhou Talented Case Chapter 4: The Source of the Fog
"Screams and paddling sounds?" Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu, and then asked Yu Laowu: "Do you still know what the river god's name is?"
"Hehe, that's right." Yu Laowu nodded proudly, and then whispered: "To tell you the truth, when those two talented men died some time ago, we also heard that sound."
"Then why didn't you tell me when the Mirror Division asked before?" When Xing Qianqiu heard this, he finally couldn't help it and scolded him sternly.
"What are you..." Yu Laowu was stunned for a moment and looked at Xing Qianqiu doubtfully.
"Hey, brother Yu, don't mind, my brother has a problem with his head." Duan Ming hurriedly winked at Xing Qianqiu.
Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming's expression, frowned, and held back what he wanted to say.
"Continue, continue, Brother Yu." Duan Ming patted Yu Laowu's shoulder and said with a smile.
"What are you going on about? Come on, don't delay my sales." However, Yu Laowu stopped talking, waved his hand to Duan Ming, and directly issued an eviction order.
"What else are you talking about? Half of what you say is just unsatisfactory." Duan Ming pinched Yu Laowu's shoulder.
"That's all I know, I don't know anything else." Yu Laowu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Okay, then I wish Brother Yu a prosperous business!" Duan Ming knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he picked up a fish from the chopping board, then pulled Xing Qianqiu away.
"He must know something else." After staying away from Yu Laowu, Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "I will send someone over soon to inquire carefully."
"Something else, nothing else!" Duan Ming waved his hands repeatedly: "Commander Xing, if you still want to solve this case, don't do anything."
"Why?" Xing Qianqiu was very puzzled.
"Hey, Commander Xing, do you, the Mirror Division, only know how to arrest people and interrogate people, and never think from the perspective of ordinary people?" Duan clearly understood what Xing Qianqiu meant and sighed: "To tell you the truth, in
In the hearts of the vast majority of ordinary people, one thing is always better than one thing less. They would rather stay away from those troublesome things and just want to keep their own life peaceful and stable."
"So, they won't tell us the truth?" Xing Qianqiu frowned.
"That's right, I told you the truth, just like me. Apart from filling in a lot of trouble, is there any benefit?" Duan Ming nodded: "Why, you can also award the 'Best'
Isn’t it possible to win the Citizen Award?”
"Then you ask, why did you just say it?" Although Xing Qianqiu didn't understand what the "Best Citizen Award" was, he also understood what Duan Ming meant.
"It's natural. How can interrogation be the same as bullshit?" Duan understood and took a look at Xing Qianqiu, feeling that the Mirror Division was just one-sided, incomparable to those Jin Yiwei in the movies: "Let me tell you, there is something.
, the common people have nothing to say to the government, but the common people just talk to each other casually, this is called talking."
"So, sometimes, if you want to collect clues and hear more news, you have to throw away your Mirror Department style, blend in with the common people, chat with them, and you will get clues.
"
"I've learned a lesson." Xing Qianqiu nodded, feeling that what Duan Ming said did make some sense.
"But what the common people said is that some are exaggerated, some have been deleted several times, and some have been changed to make them irrelevant." Duan Ming pointed his finger: "We need to pay more attention to this here and analyze the contents."
"Thank you." Xing Qianqiu clasped his fists again: "But, having said that, you treat me as a money bag. What happened to the fifty copper coins?"
"Hey, hey." Duan Ming smiled and scratched his head: "You don't understand, this is called necessary intelligence investment. If I don't give him the fifty copper coins, Yu Laowu will always be thinking about the money I owe him.
In fact, it’s impossible to tell me that.”
"So, the reason why you deliberately asked me to bring money before you came out was to take me for granted?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"I've said it before, it's a necessary investment!" Duan Ming said with a smile, and then without waiting for Xing Qianqiu to speak, he pulled Xing Qianqiu to the shore: "Commander Xing, can you get a boat? Let's
Go for a walk on the river?"
"That's no problem." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and then took Duan Ming directly to find a boatman. After showing him the token of the Mirror Division, the boatman didn't dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly pulled the boat.
The two of them drove towards the other side of the river.
Sitting on the boat, Duan Ming did not speak anymore, but kept observing the river.
Since today was the River God Festival, apart from Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu's small boat, there were only a few official boats still sailing slowly on the calm river.
When Xing Qianqiu saw this, he didn't bother him and just observed it as carefully as Duan Ming.
When the boat reached the center of the river, Duan Ming suddenly threw the fish in his hand into the water.
I saw this fish flopping in the water a few times, then quickly floated back to the surface, and died soon after.
"Is the water poisonous?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"It's not poison." Duan Ming shook his head, with a complicated look on his face. He reached out and touched the lake water gently, then raised his head and said to the boatman: "Okay, let's go back."
Xing Qianqiu was puzzled, but he also understood that this was not the time to ask more questions, so he had no choice but to accompany Duan Ming back to the Mirror Division.
Sitting in Xing Qianqiu's room, Duan Ming kept frowning. Xing Qianqiu was not in a hurry, sitting beside him and waiting silently.
"Sigh." Finally, Duan Ming sighed and looked at Xing Qianqiu: "I know what the fog is about."
"You know?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming in shock.
"Dian Bing, I wonder if you have heard of it." Duan Ming looked at Xing Qianqiu with extremely serious eyes.
Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "What is this?"
"Dry ice is solid carbon dioxide. When solid carbon dioxide changes from solid to liquid, it absorbs a lot of heat, causing the moisture in the air to condense into small water droplets, and these small water droplets become mist." Duan Ming explained.
"Fog? You mean that the sudden heavy fog is due to the effect of dry ice?" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly.
"Yes, the water temperature of the Sulin River is very low now, and there are even some small pieces of ice, which proves this possibility." Duan Ming nodded: "Also, do you remember what Yu Laowu said, the river
First there were small water bubbles that emerged, and then the heavy fog came. This was caused by the liquefaction of underwater dry ice."
Then Duan Ming frowned again: "But dry ice shouldn't be something that can be created in this era."
"Ah?" Xing Qianqiu glanced at Duan Ming: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. Although the manufacturing process of dry ice is simple, it is also very difficult..." Duan Ming said solemnly: "Forget it, you should investigate this aspect first. Dry ice should not be made from Linyang City, otherwise I would
It’s impossible not to know at all. So the dry ice must have been shipped from outside recently.”
"The transportation and storage of dry ice are very particular. There should be a large amount of ice cubes used for cooling during transportation..." Duan Ming said.
"I understand. The ice should be transported by water. I will send someone to check it out." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Let's see if there is an ice ship coming to Linyang City recently."
"Well, also, I want to see the body now." Duan Ming said... This chapter has been completed!
