Someone nodded. "Yes, I just came in and saw your skirt and I loved it. It's a style I've never seen before, and the fabric looks silky smooth."
"This is because the fabric of this skirt is dyed into its current pink color using a special method. This pink color cannot be found on the market, and the fabric dyed using this method will increase its glossiness, making it look like silky satin.
When dyeing this kind of cloth, a dyeing auxiliary agent must be added. This dyeing auxiliary agent will remain on the fabric after dyeing. Of course, it is harmless and even has a pleasant fragrance.
However, its harmlessness is relative. This dyeing agent is usually harmless, but if mixed with another substance, it will have a huge corrosive effect and can directly rot human skin."
Everyone's faces changed when they heard this. It was too horrible to have the skin rot directly.
"How dare you wear this kind of cloth?" someone asked in surprise.
"That's nothing, because a chemical reaction only occurs when it's mixed with something else. This kind of thing is something we don't encounter in our daily lives; it's a special item.
Normally, not many people can get access to it, but people of Chief Ji and Mr. Zhang’s status should be able to get it.
I would also like to ask Chief Ji to help me ask if our chemical plant has gallium metal."
This was the first time Chief Ji had heard of this kind of thing. He thought for a moment and asked, "Is the director of the chemical plant here today?"
Someone stood up from the crowd and said, "Chief, Chief, I'm here!"
"Does your factory have the gallium metal Xiangnan mentioned?"
"Yes... but very little. This thing is very precious and the production is very small. We only get a little bit occasionally."
Xiangnan said, "You don't need too much, just a little bit will do, even a small fingernail will do."
Chief Ji asked, "What is the use of this thing?"
The director of the chemical plant quickly said, "Gallium metal isn't very toxic, but it's corrosive. If it comes into contact with aluminum, it will corrode into paper..."
"Is it so dangerous?" Mr. Zhang asked worriedly.
"No, no, no, it's not dangerous. It's very safe and can even be placed in the palm of your hand. I just don't know what this lady is going to do with it."
"I'm looking for the real culprit. Please help me get some gallium metal."
The director of the chemical plant nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give them a call and ask them to send some, but it's really just a little bit."
"A little is enough, a little is enough to rot that evil hand."
Ji Nini's face changed: "You country woman, what do you mean, you don't want us to touch this inexplicable thing, I don't want it, I won't touch it!"
"What are you afraid of? You didn't push me. If you hadn't pushed me, nothing would have happened. The one that got hurt was the sinful hand that pushed me."
The director of the chemical plant made a phone call and said that his employees would deliver it immediately on motorcycles.
Xiangnan took this opportunity to pick up all the paper cranes on the ground.
The girls who were about to be tested had some fear on their faces. People are always afraid of unknown things, let alone something so corrosive.
The employees of the chemical plant came quickly and brought a small bottle. Although it was not very big, it was enough.
Xiangnan took the bottle and poured the silvery-white gallium into her palm. The gallium rolled in her palm like a drop of water, and she was fine.
"Look, as long as you didn't push me and your hands didn't get stained with the substance from my clothes, you wouldn't be corroded by it. My hands have been washed, so there's no substance from the clothes on them, so I'm safe now.
But the person who just pushed me had not washed his hands, and there was something on his hands. Once they mixed with this cute water-like metal gallium, their hands would be corroded.
Like this..."
Xiangnan took a bottle of Jianlibao, a beverage for the banquet, from the table. She dropped a little bit of metallic gallium on the lid of the Jianlibao bottle, then gently poked the lid with her hand. The originally sturdy lid was thinner than paper, and a big hole appeared with the poke.
The faces of several girls changed. It was so corrosive. If the substance got on their hands, their hands would probably be broken!
Xiangnan gently shook the gallium metal in his hand and said, "Come here, you are so confident that you have never pushed me. Come over and take this gallium metal to prove that you really haven't pushed me."
Ji Nini took a step back: "I...I don't want it. Who knows if there will be any problems with this thing? If I accidentally touch your clothes, my hand will be broken."
"Don't worry, after you take it, just wash it and nothing will get on your hands. Even if you don't wash it, there won't be any residue.
Who dares to try?
No way, I, a country boy, dare to take something, but you city people don’t dare to take it? You don’t have this little knowledge, do you? Gallium metal is not dangerous. "
Chief Ji shouted, "Nini, take the lead. There are no cowards in our Ji family!"
Ji Nini snorted unwillingly: "I haven't done anything, why should I be tested?"
"Because this can clear you of suspicion. If none of you showed any corrosion reaction just now, it means that I fell accidentally. I admit my mistake."
When Ji Nini heard that Xiangnan could admit his mistake, she immediately said, "Okay, I'll do it."
She stretched out her hand with some fear, and Xiangnan turned his hand and poured the metal gallium in his hand into her palm.
Ji Nini said proudly: "I said I didn't push you, you fell down accidentally!"
Ji Nini felt that this thing was not scary. It was a bit similar to mercury. It could move in the palm of her hand without leaking out.
"Next, give it to the person next to you."
Seeing that Ji Nini was fine after taking it, the girls were no longer afraid and took the gallium metal one by one. When it came to Zhang Ying, she said with disgust, "Who knows if this thing is poisonous? I don't want it. How could I possibly destroy something that belongs to my family? Don't count me in."
Xiangnan said firmly: "You are the only one who hasn't tried. You must take it. If you don't, you will be the murderer!"
Zhang Ying tugged at Zhang Lao's sleeve and said, "Grandpa, you know I hate these dirty things the most. I don't want to touch them. Who knows what they are? I haven't even seen them."
Zhang Lao patted her hands and said, "Be good. Everyone can get it. Why do you need to be special?"
"I don't want it. Just think of it as me pushing her. Anyway, I don't want to take such dirty things."
"If you pushed it, it's yours. There's no such thing as you pushing it. If you don't take it, you're afraid it will corrode a hole in your hand!
Don't talk nonsense. You are the only one here who is precious. If others can take what you can't, then call the police!"
Xiangnan said bluntly that someone must have pushed her just now, and with great force.
Those girls are all fine, so the problem must be with Zhang Ying. Her unwillingness to take the gallium metal proves this.
She was quite good at pretending, and she was quite calm, not seeming panicked at all. Did she think that it would be okay just because she broke her grandfather's glass bottle?
