Chapter 8 Can only remember the words in the middle
Qu Mingcong took out a rubber glove from the backpack behind him, put it on his right hand, and then bent down and squatted down.
He raised the phone with his left hand to turn on the video mode, and gently pulled the dead cat out of the trash can with his right hand. He then gently rubbed the cat's fur with his thumb and index finger. It felt moist.
"Can you tell the cause of death?" Qiao Yueying asked.
"It's very difficult." Qu Mingcong slowly turned over the body of the dead cat and said in a deep voice, "There are wounds made by tools, but there are not many, and there is not much blood. It should not be a fatal injury. Unless you find a professional veterinarian to do an autopsy, it will not be fatal."
The cause of death cannot be determined."
Qiao Yueying thought for a moment and then said, "Let me see if there are any plastic bags or storage boxes in the trash can."
Qu Mingcong followed her instructions and pointed his cell phone camera at the inside of the trash can.
There were several bags of garbage inside. The garbage bags were tied. In addition, there were two express cartons. Some foam and waste paper were stuffed in the cartons. It seemed that the remaining space inside the cartons was not enough to hold the dead cat.
.
Qu Mingcong vaguely understood what Qiao Yueying meant, "...someone threw the cat here, but didn't leave anything to contain the cat?"
"It's strange, isn't it?" Qiao Yueying said, "If you were a cat abuser, no matter how unscrupulous you were when disposing of the cat's body, you would at least put it in a plastic bag and throw it into the trash can with the bag.
That's right, now it's more like letting people find out on purpose."
Qu Mingcong thought for a moment and asked: "Is it possible that the container containing the cat still has use value? When the proprietress of the fruit shop just threw away the rotten fruit, she used a foam box to pack the rotten fruit. After throwing it away, it would be a long time to take the foam box back to the store.
Then use it.”
Qiao Yueying shook her head, "A dead cat is different from rotten fruit. It will leave blood stains and cat hair. These traces will increase unnecessary cleaning costs, and carrying a bag in your hand is far better than holding a bag with both hands."
The box is more concealed. In addition, the cat's body is wet, which is also strange. Doesn't the wet dead cat need to be put in a container? Where is the plastic bag or box with residual moisture? Why should it be taken away in the extra effort?
?”
Qu Mingcong was silent after hearing this. After a while, he let out a sullen breath and said: "Maybe it's like you said, the other party did it on purpose, without covering it up, and deliberately wanted everyone to see the dead cat, and then looked at it from people's faces.
Get satisfaction from the frightened expression. Nowadays, there are many perverts, and there are all kinds of people. If they can do such things as cat abuse, they are mentally abnormal."
Qu Mingcong threw the dead cat back into the trash can, took off the rubber glove on his right hand and threw it into the trash can as well, feeling a little upset.
"I hope nothing happened to those two cats," he said.
Qiao Yueying couldn't help but be curious and asked him: "Are you worried about the safety of those two cats, or are you worried that you won't get paid?"
Qu Mingcong: “…………”
He gave her a cool look.
"What are you doing? It's just a casual chat. If you don't want to answer, forget it. Why are you showing off~" Qiao Yueying was very dissatisfied, "It's okay even if it's just pretending. As your girlfriend, I'm helping you investigate the case now. You always
This attitude towards me really hurts my subjective initiative."
Qu Mingcong keenly captured two words: "Girlfriend?"
"Yes, your sweetheart girlfriend." Qiao Yueying mentioned the name of the game with great magnanimity.
The corners of Qu Mingcong's mouth twitched slightly.
"I guess you must be worried about not getting paid, right?" Qiao Yueying smiled, "I know you are short of money."
Qu Mingcong sneered silently, "...Very good, a novice gift package has made you hold a grudge until now, and you have decided that I only have money in my eyes, right? Although I am not a compassionate person, I don't like to see animals being killed for no reason. I don't have that."
A perverted hobby."
Qiao Yueying's eyes widened slightly, her eyes flashing with surprise.
Qu Mingcong twitched the corners of his mouth and asked with a cold face: "Is it so unbelievable?"
Qiao Yueying replied in a very surprised tone: "Did you notice that you rhymed just now?... Killed for no reason, you don't have that kind of perverted hobby~ You made a rhyme!"
Qu Mingcong: “…………”
Crazy!!!
"Brother Ming!——"
A crisp voice came from the distance.
Qu Mingcong turned around and saw a young girl standing across the street waving to him.
Qiao Yueying also saw her. She was wearing a sweatshirt with graffiti and tight jeans, her hair was in brown wool curls, and she was carrying a super exaggerated sherpa bag. She was a fashionable girl with a full street sense.
"Her name is Xu Xinqi, and she is Wang Wei's former girlfriend. When the firm first opened, Wang Wei pulled her over to help him. Later, the firm's business was not doing well, so she found another job, but she was free.
I’ll still come over and help when I need help.”
While Xu Xinqi was walking this way, Qu Mingcong finished the introduction in a few words.
Qiao Yueying asked: "Why do she and Wang Wei both call you Brother Ming? Why not Brother Qu or Brother Cong?"
This question caused Qu Mingcong to fall into a brief silence.
Then he replied: "Because when I first met them, they could only remember the word in the middle of my name."
Qiao Yueying: "Wow..."
How should I put it? It's a bit unexpected, but it's also reasonable.
"Brother Ming! Wang Wei said you asked me for help. Why?" Xu Xinqi walked over briskly with a cheerful smile on her face.
"Wang Wei didn't tell you?" Qu Mingcong couldn't help but frown.
Xu Xinqi said: "He asked me to go to a beauty salon to do a project, and he also said that you would reimburse me for the expenses. Is that true?"
Qu Mingcong: “…………”
"What, he's talking nonsense again?" Xu Xinqi saw Qu Mingcong's expression and knew that Wang Wei was fooling her again, but she was used to it and said with a smile, "This Wang Wei should really be called Wang Shitan. He talks nonsense all day long.
,Fortunately, he and I broke up early."
Qu Mingcong closed his eyes and sighed.
"Actually... that's more or less what it means." He took off the mobile phone hanging from his neck and handed it to Xu Xinqi together with the data cable, "You can go into the beauty salon later and pick a project to do, and then you can use the excuse that the mobile phone is about to run out of battery.
, plug your phone into the computer at the front desk of the beauty salon, and the phone will automatically search for information on the computer. When you hear the phone ringing, you will find an excuse."
Xu Xinqi took the phone and said with a smile: "This is simple, just wait for my good news."
She threw her cell phone into a large sherpa bag and turned around to walk to the beauty salon.
Qu Mingcong stopped her again: "Xiao Qi..."
Xu Xinqi looked back at him: "Huh?"
Qu Mingcong hesitated to speak - it was a very common sentence that he had told Xu Xinqi before, but now that there is Qiao Yueying on the mobile phone, why has it become difficult to say it?
"Don't choose expensive items for beauty salons." Qu Mingcong said to her with a dull face.
"Don't worry!" Xu Xinqi chuckled, "I'll just do deep skin care and remove blackheads. It won't be too expensive!"
After saying that, she happily walked into the beauty salon carrying a large cashmere bag.
