Early the next morning, I drove Big Eye to the store and went directly to the Chicco Information Investigation Center. Last night, Zhang Ling had just returned from Beijing. She said that the appraisal results had come out and asked me to come to her company early this morning. I asked what the appraisal result was on the phone, and she said that she couldn't tell everything on the phone before meeting.
When I arrived at the Chicco Investigation Center, only Xue Xiaomei and Lao Chang were there, and I was waiting for Zhang Ling in the negotiation room alone. Zhang Ling didn't come to the company until the ass I was waiting for was almost worn out on the chair.
She put the stone and two small transparent bottles on the table and said, "I'm sorry, because something was delayed suddenly, so I came late."
I was busy and said: "It's okay, I know you are busy."
Labels are attached to two small transparent bottles, one with A and one with B. I can't tell the difference between the half-blind witch water and the blood of the footless old woman.
I asked: "How is the appraisal result?"
Zhang Ling sat down, picked up the small bottle with the A label, and said: "This is witch water provided by a half-blind man. The ingredients are the same as those in the old woman's body, it's all plasma."
I asked in astonishment: "Why is there no color if it is blood?"
Zhang Ling said: "It's plasma, not blood. What we usually call blood is composed of blood cells and plasma, collectively called whole blood. Blood cells are suspended in plasma and are subdivided into red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. So what I said is not. Whole blood, but plasma."
"Is there no color in plasma?"
"Plasma is equivalent to the intercellular substance of connective tissue. It is light yellow**. In addition to containing a lot of water, there are also inorganic salts, fibrinogen, albumin, globulin, enzymes, hormones and many other components. These substances are not necessarily But they all have important physiological functions."
"But why the old woman's plasma is transparent instead of light yellow"
"Listen to me first. The composition of the plasma provided by the old woman and the half-blind man is 99.98% similar to that of normal plasma. It can basically be regarded as plasma in science. As for why it is transparent, it is probably the difference. 0.02% up."
"Then does this mean that the old woman and Su Meng are not the same kind?"
Zhang Ling shook his head and said, "You can't say that, because human blood is red because blood cells contain red blood cells. We
Now there is only the old woman's plasma, but there are no blood cells that affect the color. "
I hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I took out the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart from the old woman's mummy, Su Meng must be of the same kind as the old woman."
Zhang Ling nodded in agreement with my statement, and then said, "But there is one thing I don't understand. How can a half-blind man have the same plasma as a footless old woman. What is his purpose for giving the plasma to Li Tianyou."
I guessed: "The purpose should be related to the experiment on the living dead. As for why the half-blind man has plasma, I guess he should have found a mummy in Fetus Channel. Because Jin Gan once told us that we must be careful. blind."
Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that Jin Gan knows something about the half-blind man, but he didn't tell us."
"Yes. It's a pity that he has been caught now, otherwise you can ask him. Are you a private investigator related to public security?"
Zhang Ling smiled and said: "Jin Gan committed a felony of tomb robbery and is likely to be sentenced to death. I don't dare to use it if it matters."
I think so too, if you get involved, you might still be considered an accomplice.
I sighed and asked, "Is this dark yellow stone really a stone?"
Zhang Ling put down the small bottle in his hand and said: "The main ingredient is silica, which means it is indeed a stone, and it is basically of little value."
I sighed again and said, "It seems impossible to find clues from this stone."
Zhang Ling smiled and said, "Although it is an ordinary stone of no value, I know where this stone was produced."
I immediately regained my spirit, looking at Zhang Ling expectantly and wishing her to continue speaking, because as long as I know the source of the stone, I can basically know where the corpse of unknown origin comes from, or that he has been somewhere.
Zhang Ling continued: "After the identification of the stone came out, I found a lot of senior stone collectors who loved it. They said that this stone is a Lop Nur Gobi topaz."
"What Parshi?"
"The Lop Nur Gobi topaz. This kind of stone is produced in Lop Nur, Xinjiang. Lop Nur is a lake located in the southeast of Xinjiang. Because of its shape like a human ear, it is known as the ear of the earth and also called the sea of death. Detailed introduction about Lop Nur You can go back and check the information. This kind of stone is produced in the Great Gobi of Lop Nur
. "
I said to myself: "Could the corpse come from Lop Nur in Xinjiang?"
"What did you say?" Zhang Ling asked.
"I said the mummy with only nine ribs would come from Lop Nur."
"Probably."
"why?"
"Because Lop Nur has many unsolved mysteries and weird legends. It is known as a piece of the'devil's triangle' on the Asian continent. When the Eastern Jin Dynasty monk Fa Xian traveled west and passed by here, he once wrote: There are many evil spirits and hot winds in the Shahe River. Those who meet will die, and there will be no one. Many people die of thirst not far from the spring."
Seeing that I was silent, Zhang Ling asked again: "Do you want to go to Lop Nur to find traces of the blue blood man?"
I nodded and said, "Yes. Because I signed a contract with the ghost, I must do my best to find the Qiqiao Linglongxin, or I will suffer retribution."
"Are you going to go by yourself?"
"Wu Zhengping went to Gezaoshan, wait until he comes back, he said he would help me."
"If you really want to go, remember to call me, I also want to visit Lop Nur."
I couldn't help but stunned, and asked: "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Ling asked playfully: "Why can't one more person help you?"
"No, I'm just curious why you want to help me."
"It's not so much to help you as it is to say that I am also very interested in the Blue Blood Man and Qiqiao Linglongxin."
"Are you afraid of danger?"
"Dangers are all relative. In other words, safety cannot be guaranteed anywhere. There may be a car accident when you go out, or the house may collapse when you stay at home. Anyway, the detective agency is not busy now, so I should go out for relaxation and travel adventure.
One more person has more strength, Zhang Ling can accompany me to Lop Nur, I naturally can't ask for it, after all, I admire her for her profound knowledge when she was a baby.
I said from the bottom of my heart: "How do you make me thank you?"
Zhang Ling smiled slyly and said, "Do you really want to thank me?"
"Of course. You are such a friend, I don't know how to express my gratitude."
"It's easy if you really want to express your gratitude to me."
"You said, as long as I can do it."
"You can definitely do it, but I'm afraid you can't bear it."
I smiled and said, "As long as you don't want my life, I will be willing to do anything."
Zhang Ling said disdainfully: "Who cares about your life. If you really want to thank me, then give me that portrait."
