Chapter 29: Don't look for it
"I also have another doubt," Tang Guo said after listening to Qin Cang's words, "Jin Yingqiu can endure for so long in order to kill Mei Qingzhuo, and she doesn't do it for a long time, just like we just said, her failure to do it may be that she didn't get the other party's instructions, then again, why did Jin Yingqiu kill Mei Qingzhuo so long, and who else killed Jin Yingqiu so anxious?" ”
"This interval is indeed a more interesting thing," Qin Cang smiled, although he didn't say it directly, it can be regarded as an agreement with Tang Guo's question, "So combined with these questions, it is obvious that all we can see is just one marionette after another performing, following the intentions of the people behind the scenes, but where are those invisible lines now, and what they are made of, we can't fully see through it for the time being, except for Jin Yingqiu, Jin Yingqiu's situation is very obvious, where is her hatred for Mei Qingzhuo, it is clearly poked there, we can't find it, maybe this is the fundamental reason why she was put in the first place and came out to take the lead, first give us a clear hatred relationship, and then wait until Jin Yingqiu completes the role transformation from the perpetrator to the victim, we will be easily misled by the kind of interest between Jin Yingqiu and Mei Qingzhuo, Automatically and spontaneously, I began to look for people around Jin Yingqiu who had a more tense relationship with her. ”
Tang Guo listened to Qin Cang's words seriously, she felt that Qin Cang should have thought of something in combination with the current situation, but he still had reservations now, and he was unwilling to say it directly, she was naturally able to understand the superficial meaning of what Qin Cang said, but she couldn't guess what Qin Cang didn't say for the time being, after all, she was not the roundworm in Qin Cang's stomach, let alone explicitly, even a hint Qin Cang didn't give it, if she could guess it, it would be a little scary.
"So let's start a large-scale investigation with the people around Jin Yingqiu, right? Can't it be limited to the kind of people who may have had conflicts with her in the past, and who had a strained relationship until she was killed? Tang Guo made a judgment following the meaning that Qin Cang had clearly expressed.
Who knows Qin Cang's reaction is to shake his head: "I don't have such a plan, a person, a person living in society, if you can't rely on the distance and proximity of the relationship, the wrong contradictions and conflicts as the main points to exclude, have you considered how big this circle will be?" You simply relied on checking the people around Jin Yingqiu who had dealt with her in the recent period of time, regardless of the whereabouts of men, women, and children, it is estimated that before you successfully investigated and locked the suspicious candidates, this person has already changed from a knife to a fish, so what's the point of us wasting manpower, material resources and energy to toss and investigate? ”
Tang Guo was stunned by what he said, of course she knew that what Qin Cang said was reasonable, although she lacked rich experience in investigating cases, but at least she still had the ability to reason logically, Jin Yingqiu because of the hatred and contradiction between her and Mei Qingzhuo, so under the instigation of the master behind her, she could suppress her hatred, she could endure it for so long before killing someone, and finally knew that disguising the body of the deceased as having religious overtones, even the paintings and photos posted in her home seemed quite deliberate, This seems to be Jin Yingqiu's plan at first glance, but when Jin Yingqiu himself suddenly became the second victim to appear in that posture overnight, Jin Yingqiu not only did not make a plan, but the fact that she herself was part of the plan was highlighted, and the disposal of Jin Yingqiu's corpse was obviously lacking some passionate ingredients, whether it was love but hate, or hate that went deep into the bone marrow, there was no, and the method was calm as if dealing with a handicraft, This broke the relationship between Jin Yingqiu and Mei Qingzhuo.
A series of cases that can't find a pattern to follow, if you want to stare at it to the death, it does take a lot of energy and time, and in addition to these two, you also need another more important thing, that is, luck, the right time, place and people, all of them are indispensable, and it is very likely that everyone is tired of investigating for a long time, and in the end they find nothing, and they will be led by the nose by the person who controls them behind the scenes.
But having said that, if you really don't do anything, it doesn't seem like a good fit.
"So what are we going to do next?" Tang Guo asked Qin Cang.
Qin Cang shrugged: "We are in the light, the other party is in the dark, if the other party wants to hold our nose and make us passive, it is too easy, so what we need to do is not give the other party such a chance." Jin Yingqiu's situation should still be understood, but I don't think we can gain anything, let me tell you bluntly, the understanding work we have to do is not so much to obtain information, but to show people who are secretly watching our every move. According to the current situation, Jin Yingqiu has transformed from the perpetrator to the victim, this will definitely not be a coincidence or an exception, the murderer of Jin Yingqiu should have now become a praying mantis that has just finished catching cicadas, and when will the yellow finch behind him beak is only a matter of time, so even if we don't go to this person, this person will eventually appear in front of us in the shape of a cross on his chest, and the hair on his body is shaved. ”
"Knowing that the murderer of Jin Yingqiu will also become a victim nine times out of ten, don't we spend the effort to find it?" Tang Guo felt that Qin Cang's analysis was the Tao, and she understood everything, but the final decision made her a little confused and very confused, "But if you don't look for it, won't there be one more victim and a new murderer?" We know that the intentions of the mastermind behind the scenes may be like this, but we don't do our best to stop it, will this ...... Will it be ......"
"Is it a dereliction of duty?" Qin Cang guessed what her concerns were, "Have you ever considered what the biggest difference between dereliction of duty and due diligence is?" Is it the process, or is it the result? You desperately search, if you find nothing, it is useless, you have done a lot of useless work, is it really considered to be dutiful? If you really find something, have a harvest, and catch some clues that are as sparse as clues, do you think the mastermind behind our every move in the shadows will want to see you get closer to the truth little by little? In order to barely be disrupted, what he will do is most likely to implement the next step in advance, which will be used to disrupt our investigation and turn all your progress into a dead end at once. The results of the investigation have become a dead end, which is secondary, and the most important thing is that the next victim will really be hopeless. ”
Tang Guo really didn't expect this, she heard Qin Cang say this now, and she also felt that there was a certain amount of truth, so she was silent for a while before asking: "If this is really the case, Jin Yingqiu killed Mei Qingzhuo, and then someone killed Jin Yingqiu, if we investigate a little clue, it is very likely that the person who killed Jin Yingqiu will immediately become the next target, so if we don't do anything, can we give this person's life safety an extra layer of protection?" ”
"I can't." Qin Cang replied very bluntly, "From the moment this person killed Jin Yingqiu, it is estimated that he has already been stamped and must die, no matter what kind of action we take, I am afraid that what can affect is only the sooner or later of this person's murder." The difference is that the mastermind behind the scenes is estimated that we will not sit idly by, so most of the plans are formulated in accordance with our normal investigation progress and efficiency as a reference, if we really do that, it is equivalent to cooperating with the pace of the mastermind behind the scenes, so that we are headless flies, the other party is step-by-step, who do you think has a better chance of winning? ”
"The other party's chances of winning are relatively large, on the other hand, if we don't advance according to the rhythm preset by the other party, the other party may need to adjust the original plan in a hurry, so that it is easy to show flaws and show the true face, I understand what you said, it's just ......" Tang Guo frowned, "In this way, some people are really helpless......
"These people who have been assigned to the other party's plan are already hopeless, and a few that can be saved can be regarded as a wasted pick-up," Qin Cang was more open to this aspect than Tang Guo, "In the hospital, when it is necessary to amputate a limb to save one's life due to illness, the amputated part is often far larger than we think, the purpose is to prevent the wound from continuing to be infected and necrotic if it is not treated thoroughly enough, and it will still endanger life in the end." What we have to do is the same, the mastermind behind the scenes is obviously designed a chain of crimes, one link after another, layer by layer, how long this chain is, how many links, how many people are involved, we are not clear now, and there is no way to grasp it, some people who have been 'infected', if they can save nature, it is good, but in the case of not being able to have both, sacrifice them, but protect the interests and safety of the vast majority of people, we have no way to make the chain that has been formed completely disappear, we can only make it shorter. ”
"So our main task next is to ......" Tang Guo nodded, although he was still a little unacceptable emotionally, but intellectually he had already agreed with Qin Cang's statement.
Qin Cang also nodded at her: "What we need to do most now is - don't look for it, don't do it." ”
