Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

Chapter 117: Alternatives to Luminol Reagent

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately looked at Shen Wuming, after all, this old painter was quite famous in Cangzhou City.

Even Li Bi couldn't help but say: "Lord Shen, this painting is very close to Yuan Detai's true appearance."

"It can even be said that it is 99%. You have to believe in Mr. Zhang's ability. There will be no problem."

The old painter's face was even more arrogant when he heard such flattery, "Go down, young man."

"Don't let me waste time."

Shen Wuming said lightly. If it was normal, he would not be so eager to show off.

But this time it was related to solving the case, and he only had five days in total, and now there were only four days left.

So he didn't have any patience, pushed the old painter away, and began to write on the paper.

Li Bi was about to speak but stopped, and the old painter was even more angry and laughed, "Okay, young people are so sharp."

"I want to see what you can draw... I'm putting my words here."

"You invited me here today, and I've painted the portrait for you!"

"If you mess it up again later, I won't repaint it."

The others sighed when they heard this, and they were still complaining about the Lord from the Governor's Mansion.

It's really stupid!

Why are you being so irritable at such an important time? What are you doing?

Looking at the whole Cangzhou, there are not many people with the level of the old painter, and it's not that you can invite them just by asking.

If the painting is dirty and the old painter is mad, what will happen then?

But Shen Wuming's identity is here, and they can't say it directly, but their faces are gloomy.

Although Song Nanzhu is worried about her father, she still believes in Shen Wuming's strength. This guy seems to know everything.

So at this time, he just clenched his fists and took a deep breath, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.

Shen Wuming drew a few strokes, and the original portrait did not change much, but the feeling was different.

It was the feeling of changing from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, as if in that instant, the person came alive!

"Hiss..."

The first person to discover this problem was Li Bi, who was standing in front and had the most contact with Yuan Detai.

At this time, he saw the clues at a glance and couldn't help but gasp, "This... is too similar."

"No, no, no, it's not a question of whether it looks like it or not, but it's lifelike, as if the person is really alive."

He exclaimed, and the others gathered around, and even the indignant old painter couldn't help but step forward.

Then, the indignation on his face turned into amazement, and the original dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

Turning to look at Shen Wuming, the old painter took a deep breath and then laughed at himself.

"Sir, you have such great painting skills, why did you ask me to come and show off? Really..."

The old painter immediately looked resentful, shook his head, and bowed to Shen Wuming.

"I just spoke rashly, please forgive me, may I know your name?"

"My name is Shen Wuming." Shen Wuming sighed, "I'm not trying to embarrass you, I just want to solve the case as soon as possible."

"I was rude first..."

Shen Wuming apologized, then pointed at the portrait, "Can you restore Yuan Detai now?"

"Absolutely." Li Bi said firmly.

The other generals also nodded repeatedly. There is no doubt that Shen Wuming's painting skills have completely restored Yuan Detai.

Then, in the eyes of the old painter who saw a god, Shen Wuming asked someone to send him back.

And a hundred taels of silver were given as a reward, but the old painter refused and refused to accept a penny.

It is said that seeing Shen Wuming painting, this time he gained a lot, and he should be given a tuition for apprenticeship.

After the old painter left, Shen Wuming went to Li Bi's tent again.

He actually had a public house in the General Manager's Mansion, but he lived in the army most of the time.

But whether it was a public house or a military tent, he checked it carefully and found no useful information.

Especially the bed sheet, which Song Huai'en emphasized, it should be stained with blood and thrown away.

But at this time there was no trace of blood, and it was not washed... because you can still smell sweat.

There was also some oil on the pillow, which was obviously used, which made people very strange.

"Should I believe what Song Huai'en said?"

Shen Wuming was very skeptical about this, but after thinking about it, he decided to take a look.

"Maybe this bed sheet is the key evidence."

Shen Wuming thought of the detective drama he had watched before, and predecessors such as Di Renjie, Song Ci, and Bao Zheng all said a truth.

That is, do not ignore any factor, even if it seems unimportant, it may save lives at a critical moment.

Just like programmers cannot modify the shit mountain code casually, something that seems useless may be found useful after a hundred lines.

"To detect blood stains, it is best to use luminol reagent, but this condition... most of the time it cannot be produced."

"Instead, there is a substitute, benzidine."

Shen Wuming saw it when he was watching short videos before, and benzidine can also be used for blood testing.

Later, it was proved that it had a carcinogenic risk, so it was no longer promoted, and luminol reagent was usually used.

At present, it is too difficult to make luminol reagent, while benzidine is much simpler.

First, extract benzene from coal, that is, coal tar burned by graphite, and then use nitric acid and sulfuric acid to make nitrobenzene.

After further processing with nitrobenzene, zinc powder and sodium hydroxide solution, benzidine can be obtained.

Zinc is not difficult, it is used in the production process of brass, and it has been developed by the Mo family.

As for sodium hydroxide solution, it is actually caustic soda water, which can be purchased on the market.

"Fortunately, after having the system, all previous memories have been strengthened!" Shen Wuming secretly rejoiced.

"Otherwise, just watching a short video and doing a junior high school chemistry experiment, how can I remember so much."

Shen Wuming recalled the principle of production, and then asked Li Bi to purchase materials quickly.

When the materials were in place, he drove everyone out and started the experiment.

After all, these materials need to be purified in order to be fully put into use, and there is a risk of experimental failure in the middle.

He didn't want to be disturbed.

Song Nanzhu stayed and helped him. After all, there were too many materials to purify, and one person was too slow.

I have to say that although this girl's brain is not very useful, her movements are really standard.

In terms of operation, even the scientific researchers that Shen Wuming saw when he went to the summer camp at the university were far inferior to her.

"If it were another world, Song Nanzhu might become a scientific research master!"

Shen Wuming sighed secretly, and then began to focus on preparing benzidine.

At the same time, a guard suddenly hurriedly found Li Bi and whispered.

Li Bi stood up in shock, and then hurriedly asked him to notify the other generals to come to the outside of the mansion together.

A man in the official uniform of Xiezhi, surrounded by many guards, has arrived at the door.
