Paranormal incident investigation notes
Chapter 221 Lewisite
Capital City, a laboratory somewhere.
Zhou Cheng was wearing a white protective suit and goggles, looking attentively at the bones in front of him. Although he is older, his hands are still very stable at this moment. Under his operation, a bit of bone fragments were scraped off and collected on a piece of glass. Then a drop of reagent is dropped and sent to the microscope for careful observation.
Those bone fragments eventually took on a pink color. Zhou Cheng sighed and shook his head.
Apparently, another attempt failed.
Po Dong'an has been dead for too long. Although there is a high probability that there are some clues on his bones, the clues are too few and difficult to obtain.
At least so far, Zhou Cheng has not found any useful clues.
He sat down in his chair and began to think again. After a long time, another attempt was started.
After countless attempts, he finally discovered something unusual.
This time he saw that the color of the reagent was a little wrong.
In addition to pink, it seems to be mixed with a little bit of other colors.
An idea immediately came into his mind. He experimented carefully and carefully separated certain things. Finally, something was confirmed.
There are traces of arsenic remaining in Dong'anpo's bones.
"arsenic?"
The oxide of arsenic is the famous arsenic. Arsenic is highly toxic. Arsenic was detected in Dong'anpo's bones, which may mean that her real cause of death was poisoning by arsenic or arsenic compounds?
However, Zhou Cheng knew that the owners of the bones in front of him were completely rotten when they died. However, arsenic obviously cannot cause the whole body to rot.
"Moreover, the arsenic content is too small. Such a dose of arsenic may not necessarily reach a fatal dose. It may be due to other reasons."
Zhou Cheng shook his head, jotted down this clue for the time being, and planned to continue investigating other possible factors. But suddenly, Zhou Cheng suddenly remembered something.
An organoarsenic compound.
2-Chlorovinyl arsenic dichloride is commonly known as Lewisite.
It is a colorless and odorless oily liquid. It is highly toxic and was even used as a biological and chemical weapon during the war years. This poison has strong skin and respiratory tract erosion toxicity.
After poisoning, the human skin will rot, and eventually death will occur due to respiratory tract and skin rot.
This is consistent with the symptoms of the owner of the remains before his death. Moreover, because Lewisite is an organic compound of arsenic, trace amounts of arsenic remaining in the bones can also be explained.
"Could it be..."
Having a clear target of suspicion means that the next step is pointed out. With direction, targeted follow-up arrangements and verification can be made.
Zhou Cheng immediately started further work and began to consciously verify this idea.
So after a few hours, he got clear results.
The owner of the remains in front of him... indeed died of lewisite poisoning.
"It's so much fun now..."
Zhou Cheng sighed slightly.
The person in front of me died of lewisite poisoning, and lewisite, a highly toxic substance, is strictly controlled by the government. This means that the murderer has the ability to synthesize and manufacture lewisite by himself, or steal lewisite from government agencies.
With the toxicity of this poison, not much dosage is needed. As long as it can be dispersed in crowded places such as subway stations, stations, pedestrian streets, etc., one can imagine the consequences.
That is something that will surely shock the world.
He immediately dialed Lu Qingliang's phone number and sent the relevant results.
A moment later, the video conference room. The four of them gathered together again.
"Mr. Zhou Cheng has the results. It can be confirmed that Dong'anpo did not die in a confrontation between gods. She was poisoned by Lewisite."
"Lewisin?"
Several people looked at each other.
The name is a bit unfamiliar. In fact, Lu Qingliang had just learned about this poison.
He sent the lewisite agent information to the video conference room.
After Lu Ming read it, his expression became uncertain.
Now that the real cause of Po Dong'an's death is known, some of the three possibilities that we had speculated before can be eliminated.
The first thing that can be ruled out is the possibility that "there is indeed some kind of supernatural force, and there is indeed a fight between Dong'an God and another evil god, which indirectly led to Dong'an Po's tragic death."
Dong'anpo was obviously poisoned to death. Although the death situation was a bit miserable and weird, it was still within a reasonable range, and there was no such thing as a god at all.
Another thing that can be ruled out is that "the actual occurrence of a small-probability event like a small storm is a miraculous thing."
This possibility seems to have nothing to do with Dong'anpo's tragic death. However, if Dong'anpo's death has nothing to do with some supernatural force, and the emergence of that small storm has a clear and reasonable explanation, then why should it be identified as superfluous? For something magical?
Do not add entities unless necessary.
Then... there is only one possibility left.
There are no supernatural forces at all. The so-called miraculous things do not exist at all. This small storm is a real coincidence. Dong'anpo only died of poisoning, and no supernatural power was involved.
In this case, the words that Dong'an Po told Lin Shiquan and his wife had lost their foundation. The logic doesn't hold true from the beginning.
Moreover, there is a high probability that Dong'an Po herself knows the truth. In other words, Dong'anpo knew that there was no "fight between Dong'an God and the Evil God" at all, and the so-called "taking the lives of Lin Shiquan and his wife as bait" was just nonsense.
She is just a goddess. Like other goddesses, she only knows how to cheat and rely on a little psychological skills and observation of words to deceive customers' trust.
He Wei looked uncertain.
"Looking at it now, Po Dong'an's real purpose was just to defraud Lin Shiquan and his wife of the one million donation promised. She knew that she had no ability to change Lin Shen's misfortune. In order to prevent Lin Shiquan and his wife from coming to trouble her again after discovering that it was ineffective, she Deliberately setting the stage in advance, claiming that if everything in the ceremony is correct, something "miraculous" will happen.
In fact, she had no idea that after Lin Shiquan and his wife held the ceremony, there would really be a storm due to coincidence. She never thought that Lin Shiquan and his wife would really die. "
Lu Ming murmured: "This may also involve some suicide psychology techniques."
"oh?"
"Even if you have already made up your mind to commit suicide, when you actually commit suicide, you will still hesitate, hesitate, and think about other ways to solve the problem without dying. Lin Shiquan and his wife must have been in this state at the time. They were in this kind of situation. In an ambivalent mood, he performed the ritual according to Dong'anpo's instructions, and then waited for something magical to happen.
So, if those coincidences hadn't happened, and the so-called supernatural things hadn't really happened... what would have happened? "
Lu Qingliang immediately said: "The two of them will never commit suicide! The two of them will survive and then think about what went wrong in the ritual they performed."
Lu Ming nodded lightly: "That's true. But there is another point. The two of them don't want to die at all. It's just their love for Lin Shen that rationally requires them to die. As a result, the so-called magical thing has not happened at all. The failure of the ceremony objectively gave the two of them a reason not to die but to continue living?
With this reason, the two of them can find a way to coexist between the two irreconcilable contradictions between their own unwillingness to die and their love for Lin Shen that requires them to die.
With this reason, the two of them can comfort themselves that we have done our best, and we don't even need to live. However, everything is God's will. We tried our best, but we really can't change the outcome, and there is nothing we can do.
And, after this kind of 'escaping from death', for an ordinary person, how can he have the energy to find out whether he was deceived before? "
Lu Qingliang nodded slowly: "In this way, Po Dong'an arranges for the two of them to experience life and death, which can effectively reduce the risk of being caused trouble by the two of them afterwards."
Zhang Dingshan whispered: "The only thing Dong'an didn't expect was that due to coincidence, Lin Shiquan and his wife actually committed suicide. But it doesn't actually matter. Anyway, they are dead, so they are even less likely to cause trouble for themselves."
Lu Ming felt that by now, most of the mysteries about Dong'an Po and Dong'an God had been solved.
At this moment, only two questions remain unanswered.
1. Who poisoned Po Dongan with Lewyth agent? what is the reason?
Second, why was Po Dong'an able to reveal the "truth" when Lin Shiquan and his wife came to see her for the first time: "Lin Shiquan and his wife had already dedicated their child to the gods before Lin Shen was born"?
——Regardless of whether this matter is the truth, at least Lin Shiquan and his wife think it is the truth. Because of this, the two of them tirelessly sought help from various masters and finally found Dong'an Po.
First of all, what can be determined is that there was no relationship between the two parties before Lin Shiquan and his wife came to visit her.
One is a goddess in a remote mountain village, and the other is a successful young entrepreneur couple. No matter in terms of blood relationship or social relationship, the two parties cannot be involved.
From this, we can draw a conclusion: Dong'anpo's judgment on the two people must have been reached through some kind of "logic". This is neither a coincidence nor a trick.
So, what is this logic?
Combined with reality, it is obvious that this seems to be the logic of some kind of supernatural power.
In other words, some kind of supernatural force caused what happened to Lin Shiquan and his wife. And Dong'anpo also has a certain understanding of this supernatural logic. Based on the same system, she can come to this conclusion and tell the "truth" in one word.
However, does this kind of logic based on a supernatural power system really exist?
Lu Ming expressed doubts about this.
After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly flashed in Lu Ming's mind.
A possibility occurred to him.
"Could it be like this..."
He considered the language and said slowly: "Perhaps, these are just the same theological schools."
"Um?"
Lu Qingliang expressed doubts about this.
"I mean, this may be the case. The sect that originally made Lin Shiquan and his wife make the decision to sacrifice their unborn child belongs to the same religious system as Dong'an Po.
There are relevant records and descriptions in this religious system. For example, there is a description of a sacrificial method of 'sacrifice an unborn child to the gods', which will bring certain benefits, but the disadvantage is that it will cause bad luck to the child after birth. .
Because it was based on the same set of religious logic, Dong'anpo was able to make that judgment immediately after Lin Shiquan and his wife described that Lin Shen had been plagued by bad luck since his birth.
This does not actually mean that supernatural forces really exist. At most, it only means that their religious logic is the same. "
Just like a certain religion, its theoretical system believes that all sufferings a person suffers in this life are due to sins committed in the previous life. The suffering of this life is to pay for the sins of the previous life.
Based on this theoretical system, a believer of this religion in a remote mountain village and a believer of this religion in a bustling city with no connection between them are extremely likely to have the same believer with a tragic life experience. They will make the same judgment, that is, you did evil in your previous life, so you will have a miserable life in this life.
In this way, we can get a reasonable explanation as to why Po Dong An revealed the truth in one word.
Zhang Dingshan nodded slowly. For a moment, Zhang Dingshan's expression suddenly turned cold.
"So, the person who killed Po Dong'an with Lewisite was the one who made Lin Shiquan and his wife decide to sacrifice their unborn child?"
Lu Ming frowned for a moment and was shocked.
"Indeed, it's very possible!"
He Wei couldn't help but said: "Why?"
Lu Ming looked at her and explained: "At least on the surface, Dong'anpo's behavior is to relieve Lin Shen's bad luck. And this kind of behavior will cause the sect that belongs to the same religious system as Dong'anpo Profits. In order to stop Dong'an Po, they have the motive to destroy Dong'an Po's ceremony."
You have sacrificed your child's fate to our gods, and now you are asking for help from others to take your child's fate away from our gods. This is unbearable.
We have no choice but to stop you.
Other so-called masters are not on the same path as us. Nothing we do will be of any use and we don’t care. But you actually found Dong'an Po - Dong'an Po is from the same sect as ours, she knows what's going on, and her ritual is likely to be successful. We just have to kill her.
Lu Qingliang asked: "Why kill Dong'an Po instead of Lin Shiquan and his wife?"
"Perhaps Lin Shiquan and his wife have some special significance in the eyes of that sect and cannot be killed?"
Lu Qingliang thought for a moment and nodded.
Some sects that tend to be cult-like may have many religious beliefs. These principles may violate logic and may seem ridiculous to outsiders, but for their followers, they must be regarded as principles and must not be violated.
Zhang Dingshan said slowly: "If this speculation is true, then... that sect must be monitoring Lin Shiquan and his wife, or monitoring Dong'an Po."
