"You go on." Qin Cang silently listened to Tang Guo's analysis, listening very carefully, and when Tang Guo stopped to observe his views on the analysis conclusions he had stated before, he simply said three words.

Seeing him say this, Tang Guo knew that this in itself meant a kind of recognition, so she was more confident, and she continued: "In the end, the third person who was killed was Shen Xiu, and Shen Xiu also had traces of being bitten by a dog, which is the same as Duan Xingyu's, it is full of ritual from this performance, as if it is to be related to the dog, so that people can see it, so they did it on purpose, so that people who see it will immediately associate this case with the previous two cases." I think that Shen Xiu's murder, judging from the situation of the corpse, is actually the most telling thing is that Shen Xiu's tongue was cut off and not discarded with the rest of the corpse. In the folklore of our country, there is a very famous 'eighteen layers of hell', one of which is called tongue pulling hell, isn't it that anyone who sows discord, slanders others, lies and deceives people, etc., in short, is a person who does wrong things because of his tongue, after death, he will go to the tongue pulling hell to be punished, and his tongue will be pulled out alive, although Shen Xiu was not pulled out of his tongue, but his tongue was cut off, but it is estimated that the intention is the same, and the person who killed him thinks that he caused trouble on his tongue, or that he caused trouble for others, Therefore, the corpse was disposed of in this way, as a punishment for Shen Xiu. ”

"You're right, you're not right," Qin Cang opened his mouth, "In addition to the meaning of causing trouble with tongues, in addition to the legend of tongue pulling hell you mentioned, there is another point, in ancient times, when education was still the patent of the upper class, there were not many people who could read and write, and sometimes in order to keep people absolutely secrets, do you remember some lines that are still used in martial arts dramas?" ”

"Only the dead can keep secrets?"

"Yes, there is another half of this sentence, you may not remember it so clearly," Qin Cang helped Tang Guo to say the complete version of that classic dialogue, "There are two kinds of people in this world who can keep secrets the most, one is mute, and the other is the dead, and the dead are safer than the dumb. ”

"So...... After killing Shen Xiu, cut off his tongue, which is a so-called 'mute removed', double insurance, and it is also a manifestation of punishment, because Shen Xiu offended someone on his tongue, or threatened someone, so he had to be killed. Tang Guo was immediately able to take Qin Cang's prompt, "Shen Xiu's personality is a more wilted type, not ostentatious, let alone domineering, he is half an outlier in the private high school that is known for its poor teaching quality and good family conditions of students, only accounting for the good family conditions, what he talked to you about that day, I have not specifically contacted him, in your opinion, is he out of place with other students in the school, alone, or ...... It was a good fit in"

Qin Cang shook his head: "Not really." He is the kind of embarrassing student in the marginal area, there is no way to get together with the top students from ordinary families who are recruited in the school just to support the façade, and there is no way to be regarded as the same kind by those students who have money but do not pay attention to learning, so he is like a bat in school, he has been trying to fit in, but he has been caught in the middle, and the situation is more embarrassing. Although Shen Xiu seems to be relatively quiet, he is not really the kind of character who is willing to be lonely, I can hear it in the conversation with him that day, he is bent on integrating, but he is suffering from the way, and what he is trying to integrate into is obviously the group that occupies a mainstream position in the school Although his academic performance is not good, but the conditions are excellent. It is not known whether this was done entirely out of his own volition, or whether it was instigated by the hints of his parents, and it does not matter to us now, the important thing is that he had such intentions, and naturally it is impossible for him to do nothing. ”

After listening to Qin Cang's words, Tang Guo couldn't help but shudder, she was originally a little unsure of eating, but now after Qin Cang's discussion with herself, she became more and more firm in the chilling thought in her heart, I am afraid this is the so-called evil of human nature before Qin Cang.

And she quickly realized another layer of connection in this, and hurriedly asked Qin Cang: "So, when we went to Shen Xiu's house to find him, was it an important factor that led to his murder?" ”

"You don't have to think like that, there's no need." Qin Cang shook his head at Tang Guo, "If you have to say what the important factors that led to his murder are, I can tell you very responsibly that it is his own conscience." So far, although it will make people feel a little surprised, but it is an indisputable fact that Shen Xiu has been involved, and it is very obvious now, although the so-called participation is probably just the role of a little minion, but if he has lost his humanity in his bones, he is willing to go along with others, and even enjoy it, then even if we go to the door to learn about the situation from him, he may not necessarily say anything to us, and even turn around and report to others, It is possible to collude to set us up. So to be optimistic, this shows that Shen Xiu is still a good person with a conscience in essence, but he was coerced by others so he went astray. Even from a pessimistic point of view, his murder may have something to do with the fact that we have found him, and that is because after we have found him, he can't stand the condemnation of his conscience, so he will eventually have the idea of retreating, and after being detected, he will be killed, as long as his conscience is not clear, even if we have not looked for him, he will choose to quit because he has no way to continue to bear that kind of mental burden, do you think he will be allowed to withdraw? ”

Tang Guo shook his head without thinking about it at all, no matter how righteous he thought he was when he did this kind of thing, but he also knew in his bones that what he did would have to pay a huge price, so in order to escape this price, all the risks of exposing himself must be avoided, no matter whether or not they went to Shen Xiu's move, as long as Shen Xiu retreated, he would not be able to escape the disaster of death. Combined with the conclusions of the causes of the murder reached by Duan Xingyu and Wu Xing through their analysis, as well as the modus operandi, killing one more Shen Xiu does not constitute any pressure at all for the criminal suspect they are looking for, in order to protect themselves, in order to escape legal punishment more safely, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Even so, she still felt a little depressed, and her heart was heavy, as if someone had put a lot of lead on her, which made her chest heavy, unable to breathe, and extremely depressed.

"What did Yan Lifu do when he came to look for you last night?" Qin Cang suddenly opened the topic and asked.

Tang Guo didn't come back to her senses at first, after all, the span of these two topics was too big, and no matter how much her thinking jumped, she might not be able to predict that Qin Cang would suddenly jump from the matter of the case to that question, so she was directly stunned, and finally came back to her senses, and felt embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide it, she thought she had avoided it yesterday, and then when she came out of the scene in the early morning, she left this matter behind, completely relaxed, and didn't think about it again, Who would have thought that at such a time, Qin Cang would suddenly bring up this matter again, it is really a pot that cannot be opened.

"It's nothing, he didn't say anything, just stopped by to visit......" Tang Guo spoke in a very small voice, like a mosquito humming, she didn't understand why she had to feel weak, but she really couldn't help but feel such a feeling of weakness, and didn't even dare to raise her eyelids, for fear that a single eye contact with Qin Cang would make him see his inner world clearly.

"It's not that I didn't say anything, it's that I went unfortunately, and I didn't have time to say anything, right?" Qin Cang smiled, but this smile was obviously a leather smile, because his eyes looked cold, "If you don't say it, I can probably guess what he will say to you, you ignore that, just treat it as if nothing happened, and don't have any contact with him in private, it's better for everyone." ”

Tang Guo originally wanted to say that Qin Cang would not be too lenient in this matter, no matter what, it was also his own private matter, and he and he were partners at work, he should not ask about his personal affairs, let alone interfere, but after thinking about it, if he protested, he would have to reason more with Qin Cang, which would mean that he would continue to talk about topics that made him feel embarrassed, and Qin Cang's suggestion did not have any resistance, so he simply kept silent and did not object.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qin Cang didn't care, he was just silent for a while, and then he spoke again and said to Tang Guo, "How is it?" This time, the emotions were adjusted from whether Shen Xiu was affected or not, right? ”

Tang Guo's eyes widened in some surprise, and he looked up at Qin Cang, who looked at her in surprise, smiled, and said to her, "Do you think that I am really so interested in Yan Lifu's affairs with you?" ”

Tang Guo was a little surprised, but Qin Cang's trick was really effective, and his emotions were really relieved from Fang Cai's guilt and self-blame that he couldn't listen to no matter how much he persuaded him.

"Okay, since you've eased up, let's discuss the other party's division of labor next." Qin Cang said, he looked at the time, "After the discussion, it's time to call Shen Xiu's mother." ”
