From mid-September to the end of the month, Jiu Mu kept thinking about how to die.One day, I suddenly remembered a casual sentence that my old friend Kawabata once said: i have a big pile of potassium cyanide in there Kawabata is Hisaki's high school classmate, who studied science and engineering in college, and now works in the laboratory of the Environmental Analysis Center in Iidabashi. They met at the class reunion last fall.Although we haven't seen each other for another year, we had the best friendship in high school, and we are still good friends who have something to say. Hisaki made a phone call first, and Kawabata said that the laboratory would be free in the afternoon.

Jiu Mu made an appointment with him on the spot and said that he would go to see him, but it would be a bit unnatural to come to the door without anything to do, so he excused that there was a novel written about dealing with poison, and he didn't know whether it was appropriate or not, so he wanted to ask for advice. Kawabata's major is analytical chemistry; now he is the chief researcher, and Hisaki goes directly to his personal office on the third floor when he goes. haven't seen you for a long time Kawabata, who was wearing a white robe, welcomed Jiumu with ease, and after chatting about some acquaintances, Jiumu asked a question.

What he asked was that he wanted to poison the other party with potassium cyanide, so if the poison was put in black tea, would the victim feel that the tea tasted abnormal?If so, what drink is better to mix it with? Kawabata thought that Hisaki was still working in the publishing house, so he answered truthfully without any doubt: Black tea with poisons will have a sour and bitter taste, which is easy to detect. It is better to put it in strong coffee or sweet juice.Hisaki then said: If possible, can you show me the cyanide?Kawabata readily agreed, and took a small bottle ten centimeters high from the medicine shelf in the corner.

Probably for shading, the label of this tea-brown bottle has the words of the test drug and the name of the drug ∥Potassium Cyanide written on it. I'll get some out for you to see! Kawabata put a piece of paper on the table, and on the paper was a medicine wrapping paper. Putting on plastic gloves, he opened the bottle cap, tipped the bottle slightly, and poured out two balls of medicinal powder the size of red beans and a small pile of white powder. These servings can Because of its high purity, a teaspoon is enough to poison four or five people. Jiu Mu stared at the white powder in front of him.

It looks normal, and you can't tell whether it's salt or sugar powder. It is said that as long as you get a little bit of it on your fingertips and lick your mouth, you will die. Where is the magic hidden in this beautiful white powder?Jiu Mu watched timidly, when the phone rang, Kawabata got up to answer it. The room was separated by a screen, Hisaki was sitting on the reception sofa as soon as he entered the door, while Kawabata was on the phone inside. Suddenly, Jiu Mu wanted to steal the white powder. Just a little bit, wrapped in a tissue and taken away. If you want to steal, you can take advantage of it now, but you are still too scared to do it.

Kawabata came over after calling and said: I will go to the laboratory next door, please wait a while. Maybe there was something urgent to do. Kawabata walked out of the room. After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Hisaki made up his mind to put on plastic gloves like Kawabata did. Wrapped in several layers of tissue paper, he stuffed it hastily into his pocket. Then he smoked a cigarette as if nothing had happened, and waited for Kawabata to come back. Sorry to keep you waiting here. After Kawabata finished speaking, he said that this is okay!Pour the white powder back into the bottle.

He didn't seem to notice that Jiu Mu had tampered with it. Hisaki pretended to be calm and asked: Is it possible to buy this thing? Ordinary people can’t buy it. We need to use it as a test drug for work, so as long as we ask the manufacturer, they will bring it. The label said twenty-five grams and the name of the factory that made it. What if it is swallowed by mistake? No, but some people did not pay attention to get it on their hands when they were doing research experiments, and they accidentally licked it and died. So easy to die? This is the strongest poison among the poisons, it attacks the respiratory center, and he either dies instantly or dies within a minute or two.Listening to Kawabata's narration, Jiu Mu couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly got up to leave.

Sitting in the corner of the coffee shop, Hisaki quietly touched the inside of his shirt. In the inner pocket of the suit was the paper package stolen from Kawabata just now, and he reached out to touch the small bulging thing.Kawabata said that a small spoonful can easily poison four or five people, and now the amount in hand is enough to poison ten people. Thinking that he was carrying such a highly poisonous poison, Jiu Mu felt frightened and wanted to stop for a rest before rushing into this coffee shop.I don't know why I came to this bustling Ginza, maybe I want to be surrounded by bright, bright and laughing crowds to make myself feel at ease.

Jiu Mu took a sip of coffee to calm himself down, but immediately recalled the situation when he went to the laboratory just now. Would Kawabata find it strange that he hurriedly left after stuffing the paper bag into his pocket?Kawabata didn't say anything when he poured the rest of the white powder back into the bottle, thinking he probably didn't notice it, but maybe he felt that Jiu Mu walked unnaturally. However, after doing such a big event, he couldn't chat leisurely with Kawabata anymore. To be honest, Jiu Mu himself was surprised that such a dangerous thing was so easy to obtain.Of course it's because my good friend didn't set up guards. As long as I have the courage in this regard, it shouldn't be difficult to get a little more.

Because it is a highly poisonous substance, Kawabata naturally thought that no one would like to take it, so as not to endanger himself if it is not done well.Moreover, people who actively want to die are not found everywhere, so it is not unreasonable for Kawabata to be negligent. However, after the death of himself and Rinko, will Kawabata be blamed? No, he didn't even know that Jiu Mu had taken away potassium cyanide, and Jiu Mu didn't plan to say it out, so as not to cause trouble for him.Even if people know the cause of death, as long as the source of the poison is unknown, how to get it is buried in darkness forever.

The more Jiu Mu thought about it, the more restless he became, and he stood up holding the bill. It was exactly six o'clock when I walked out of the store, and the street was already decorated with colorful neon lights, making it even more gorgeous. Just as Jiu Mu was about to walk to the subway station, he suddenly changed his mind and hailed a taxi. If you ride a train with such a dangerous thing on your body, if someone bumps into it and the paper bag is torn, it will be a disaster.And since he has already made up his mind to die, there is no need to save those few car money. He got into a taxi, stopped at the supermarket on the way, bought gloves and a small container with a lid, and went back to his room in Shibuya. I got something important. Hisaki pretended to be casual and told about the process of going to the research institute, and opened the paper bag on the table.
