Huang Xiaotao said: "But, we are already surrounded by ants!"
"Don't be afraid, I have a magic weapon here!"
I grabbed a large amount of white granulated sugar and sprinkled it into the corner. No matter what kind of ant it was, I couldn't stop sugar.
The bullet ants that struck like a tide immediately retreated from us and ran towards the white sugar, where a big bag immediately bulged. I just saw the illusion of a woman's head bulging in the blood because I sprinkled a handful of white sugar.
I dragged Huang Xiaotao out of the room. Bullet ants were everywhere in the corridor. I pulled away the whole bag of white sugar and threw it at the end of the corridor to distract them.
If it weren't for Wang Dali's careless purchase of a bag of white granulated sugar, we might really be here tonight!
As I ran downstairs, I saw Wang Dali rolling on the ground, covered with red bullet ants. I quickly took off my coat and knocked it off for him, and put a pill of clear heart into his mouth. Wang Dali was shocked: "It's not fire!"
"Hurry up!"
We ran out of the villa in one breath and sat slumped on the ground with exhaustion.
Huang Xiaotao looked at her finger and said distressedly: "Will this leave a scar?"
I almost vomited blood. The first thing I did when I escaped from the dead turned out to be concerned about this. Wang Dali sighed, "Are you okay, look at me, here, here, and here..." Show us the trousers. I quickly stopped it. Wang Dali was indeed worse than us. There were injuries everywhere on his body and his appearance was broken.
I said it doesn’t matter, this is formic acid, so go back and wipe it with alkaline water. The scabs will heal after a few days.
Huang Xiaotao is about to go in and take the evidence. I said wait for tomorrow, now the ants are fierce! Both of them are very curious about how we think of bullet ants as flames and blood? In fact, I have guessed seven or eight points in my heart, but I haven't confirmed it yet. I just said that everything will be announced tomorrow.
We came here the next day to investigate and collect evidence again. The technical team opened a brick wall and found that there were dense nests of ants underneath, but they were all in a semi-sleepy state. Xiao Zhou took a few of them back for testing.
I asked him to scrape some wall paint at the same time and take it back for testing. This can be said to be a major omission of mine. The house is obviously dilapidated, but the wall paint is new! I didn't notice it before. It can be seen that there are some things that you can't learn in books, and you have to rely on practice.
Xiao Zhou compared the formic acid on the bullet ants with the acid found on the deceased, and confirmed that the deceased was indeed killed by the bullet ants.
Some suspicious ingredients were analyzed on the wall paint. Xiao Zhou didn’t know what it was. I wrote him a prescription and told him to follow the prescription. Then I compared it and it turned out to be a few Chinese medicines on the prescription. .
It's noon after all the work is done. Huang Xiaotao was stunned for a whole morning. She raised her chin and asked, "Song Yang, can you tell the answer now?"
I smiled and said: "You still owe me a meal!"
Huang Xiaotao beat me: "I called the whole group together and listened to your opinions by the way, but you can be worthy of this meal!"
"Sure!" I smiled and nodded.
Huang Xiaotao picked a restaurant nearby. After everyone was seated, I explained: "The bullet ant lives in South Africa and is one of the ten most poisonous creatures in the world! It can secrete a very powerful formic acid. The appearance of a human body killed by formic acid is almost the same as a burn. This case was almost blinded to me because my ancestors did not encounter this poisonous insect from Africa."
Huang Xiaotao said: "It's OK, everyone already knows this. We want to know how the hallucinations come from?"
"There is a drug called Nightsickness." I replied.
"Not homesick at night?" Everyone was shocked.
I explained that Nightsickness is a secret perfume used by ancient prostitutes-women. It is said that the perfume is actually colorless and tasteless, and has a strong hallucinogenic effect. Why is it called ‘no homesick at night’, because this medicine does not work during the day and only works late at night.
Xiao Zhou inserted a sentence: "Probably the chemical composition of this medicine is extremely unstable. When the temperature is normal, it will decompose into harmless water and carbon dioxide. It will only work when it is cold!"
Huang Xiaotao scolded: "Don't interrupt!"
I went on to say that after being homesick at night and causing hallucinations, people's spirits will become very fragile and very vulnerable to psychological cues. In fact, the ghosts we saw were all hallucinations. Wang Dali should still remember one detail. When I went downstairs before, I didn't see anything. When he reminded me, I suddenly saw a female ghost in white standing behind Huang Xiaotao.
Actually, the ghosts we saw last night scared ourselves and hinted that we ‘appeared’.
Wang Dali saw fire, and Huang Xiaotao saw blood, because the two had contacted different information in advance. Like most people, Wang Dali thought that there had been a fire in that house. However, Wang Yuanchao later investigated, and the fire was only an error. Huang Xiaotao and I knew about this, but Wang Dali did not.
Since the pair of uncles and nephews are trial residents in the haunted house, they should have investigated before, but they can only find out from their channels that the house had been on fire before, so when a large number of bullet ants came, their eyes changed. Become a raging flame! They ran from room to room in a panic, were blocked at both ends, and finally burned to death.
Wang Dali breathed a sigh of relief: "So, that house is not haunted anymore?"
I laughed and said: "I dare not make a statement if it is not haunted. I can only say that the ghosts we saw last night were fake."
Huang Xiaotao patted the table: "This is a carefully planned murder, but Song Yang, the murderer never showed up from start to finish, how can we catch him?"
A ray of wisdom flashed in my eyes: "This is simple, let the bullet ants take us to find it!"
"Bullet ants?" Huang Xiaotao didn't quite understand what I meant.
I explained that the reason why the killer can manipulate so many bullet ants is because the ants all have queens. They regard the queen as the king and swear to guard the queen to the death. It is certain that the queen was on the killer. The car was parked nearby last night. There should be a queen in the car. The queen was trapped. After the large group of bullet ants received the distress signal released by the queen, they went crazy. .
Huang Xiaotao asked the team members if they found the car. Everyone shook their heads and said there was no gain. All the 4S shops in the city sent people to stare at it.
I said: "Let the police officers sent out come back to rest, just the three of us will come forward."
Wang Yuanchao said lightly: "I will go too!"
Huang Xiaotao stood up and shouted: "I don't eat anymore, go now!"
I said: "Don't be so impulsive. Bullet ants live in Africa. They are too hot during the day, so they are active at night. Let's go at night."
Huang Xiaotao said uneasy: "Then what if they attack us again?"
I said, "You help me find something." Then I whispered a few words to her.
Huang Xiaotao was shocked: "This thing is illegal! Fortunately, you told me that if you do it yourself, I must catch you."
I begged again and again: "Please, please!"
When the police officers saw me whispering to Huang Xiaotao, they smiled maliciously. Huang Xiaotao blushed and slapped the table angrily: "Don't laugh, we're talking about business!"
That night, the four of us came to the murder house. In order to prevent the trick of not homesicking again at night, I asked each of us to take a pill of Mingxin. Then I used a plastic bottle cut into a shovel shape to shovel a few bullet ants from under the wall tiles that were pried open during the day.
There is no order issued by the queen. Although they have resisted, they are all individual actions, and there is no ant colony. Nevertheless, after being bitten by a snake for ten years and fearing the ropes, Huang Xiaotao and Wang Dali were still worried when they saw me operating!
We came to the place where the car parked yesterday and put the bullet ants on the ground. They immediately crawled in one direction automatically.
Huang Xiaotao was surprised: "There is one thing I don't understand. Why don't they leave the villa to find the queen by themselves?"
I said: "I have thought about this problem. I just smelled the surroundings of the house carefully and found that there was a smell of camphor. This should also be the murderer's work, the purpose is to trap them in the villa."
Huang Xiaotao took a breath: "What a cunning murderer!"
