Chapter 18: Like a Dog, Not a Dog

Qian Yuanbai rinsed his mouth, put the wine back, sat down opposite Qiu Gubo, and said solemnly: "The thing you brought back is not a dog." ”

Qiu Gubo was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the corpse of the strange dog placed on the iron case: "What is that not a dog?" ”

Qian Yuanbai shook his head: "Let's put it this way, I've never seen this kind of thing, and I haven't seen it in books, like a dog but definitely not a dog." ”

Qiu Gubo frowned: "You take your words well, and then tell me clearly, I have a headache, what does it mean to be like a dog and not a dog, yes, no, no." ”

Qian Yuanbai pondered for a moment: "When I went to Japan to study, I listened to the lecture of Mr. Ishikawa Sadaichi of the Japanese Metropolitan Police Department, and he was the author of "Practical Forensic Science", the original name of this book was "The Latest Handouts for Criminal and Civil Examination and Appraisal in Eastern and Western Countries", and this ......"

Before Qianyuanbai finished speaking, he saw Qiu Gubo already lying on the table, and he deliberately snored.

"I'll be brief." Qian Yuanbai sighed.

Qiu Gubo finally raised his head: "Big brother, you know that the thing I hate the most is to listen to people talk about things that I am not interested in at all, you can talk about it, and I will talk about it when I have insomnia, okay?" ”

Qian Yuanbai nodded, and said seriously: "In short, from the books I have learned in the past, I have never seen this kind of animal, you come and see." ”

Qiu Gubo wiped his mouth with his hand and followed Qian Yuanbai to the iron case.

Qian Yuanbai pointed to the head of the strange dog: "The head of a dog is rarely in this shape, the shape of this head is closer to that of a bear, although the limbs are no different from those of a dog, but the joints are too thick, not so much a claw as a palm." ”

Qiu Gubo looked closely at the so-called dog paw, and found that the dog paw did look similar to the bear's paw, but it was much smaller, like the bear's paw.

"Look at the tail again." Qian Yuanbai walked to the back of the iron case, "Although there is a little bit, it is almost invisible." ”

Qiu Gubo crossed his arms and watched: "What does this mean?" ”

Qianyuanbai looked at Qiu Gubo and said: "...... in ancient Rome"

As soon as he finished saying a few words, Qian Yuanbai saw that Qiu Gubo looked drowsy again, and immediately said: "If you don't listen, I won't say it, you find someone else." ”

"Okay, okay!" Qiu Gubo immediately returned to his usual appearance, "You say, I'll listen." ”

Qian Yuanbai took a breath and continued: "In ancient Rome, it was believed that cutting off the tail of a dog could prevent the dog from going crazy, that is, it could prevent rabies, but it was later found to be wrong, and the probability of a dog with a severed tail going crazy was much higher than that of an ordinary dog. ”

Qiu Gubo frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Qian Yuanbai explained: "You and I both know that if the dog wagging its tail at someone, it means that the dog is happy and likes, if the dog is holding its tail, it means that it is afraid, and if the dog's tail stands up, it means that it has the intention to attack." ”

Qiu Gubo nodded and said, "Yes, everyone knows this." ”

Qianyuanbai said: "So, I carefully observed this tail and found that it was cut off by someone, so I said that this thing looks like a dog and is not a dog." ”

Qiu Gubo choked, spread his hands for a long time and asked, "Brother Bai, what is this thing?" ”

"I don't know, you're a scout, it should be your job." Qian Yuanbai also spread his hands, "Of course, I will also find a way to find out what this thing is, but it will take time and your cooperation." ”

Qiu Gubo nodded: "There's no way, then let's do it first, eh, by the way, what about the other corpses sent today?" The ones that were fished up in the sea, and the ones in the inn. ”

Qianyuanbai said: "It's the same as what you told Wu Liu, the two corpses in the sea were shot by rifles from a distance, and the people who fired the shots were all aimed at the neck, plus they soaked in the sea water all night, and their heads were almost separated from their bodies, as for those in the inn, there is no doubt, the cause of death is a throat cut, and the attack is very fast, it should be done by professional killers." ”

After hearing this, Qiu Gubo was about to leave, and remembered something: "By the way, is that strange dog poisonous?" ”

"If you don't say it, I'll forget." Qian Yuanbai put on gloves, broke the mouth of the strange dog, pointed inside, and said, "This monster has a poison sac in its mouth, it is not its own, it is put into it, when attacking, as long as it bites through the poison sac, the venom will penetrate into the mouth, and the person bitten by it will also be poisoned to death, of course, this monster itself will die." ”

Qiu Gubo suddenly realized: "So, even if I didn't shoot at that time, this monster wouldn't have lived long?" ”

Qianyuanbai said: "Cai Dangjia can't live." ”

Qiu Gubo nodded: "I understand, the purpose of the owner of this monster is to kill people and destroy the mouth, no matter what, Cai Dangjia will die, it seems that the person who started it should be from the Black Cloud Sect, okay, I know how to check, hard work, I'll go first." ”

"Wait!" Qian Yuanbai stopped Qiu Gubo, "Before you came back, your father came to me and said that you would definitely come to me, let me convey you, go to his office, and discuss something with you." ”

Qiu Gubo looked puzzled: "Something?" The old man is now starting to care about the case? The sun came out in the west. ”

Ten minutes later, Qiu Gubo knocked on the door of his father's Qiu Yishan's office and found Qiu Yishan standing at his desk with his back to him, holding the phone, bowing his head slightly, and constantly answering "yes" there.

Qiu Gubo looked at the office that was in a mess, as if it had been robbed, sat on the sofa, grabbed a book and flipped it, and was about to fall asleep after a few pages.

Just when Qiu Gubo was about to fall asleep, he clearly heard his father Qiu Yishan say there: "It's over, it's over, it's big this time." ”

Qiu Gubo opened his eyes and watched Qiu Yishan sitting at his desk, patting his head with a sad face.

Qiu Gubo hurriedly stepped forward, glanced at the phone, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Qiu Yishan raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Gubo: "It's not one thing, it's several things, something big has happened, and it's going to be a fucking war again!" ”

Qiu Gubo frowned: "War? Who's with whom? ”

Qiu Yishan glanced at the door and said in a low voice: "You must not tell anyone else, this is confidential." ”

Qiu Gubo walked to Qiu Yishan's side: "Who is it?" ”

"Fu Guodong!" Qiu Yishan said in a very low voice, closing his eyes after speaking, and he couldn't wait to sink his eyes into his sockets.

Qiu Gubo said: "Fu Dashuai!?" He's the overseer of our Yongcheng, so it's our Yongcheng that is going to war? ”

Qiu Yishan shook his head, and finally nodded: "He didn't say it explicitly, he just asked me to prepare some fishing boats, both large and small, and the more the better." ”

"Oh-" Qiu Gubo straightened up, "he's going to sea to fight pirates, right?" ”

Qiu Yishan shook his head: "a fart pirate!" He's a pirate at all! ”

Qiu Gubo smiled: "Dad, don't talk about people, every year when you celebrate your birthday, the big and small pirate leaders in Zhoushan have to give you gifts." ”

Qiu Yishan's face changed: "That's not the same thing, I'm here to maintain the balance of power in the local black and white, and he's purely for blackmail, let me tell you, going to sea to suppress bandits should be their military's business, how many people am I?" It would be nice to be able to maintain local law and order. ”

Qiu Gubo walked back to the sofa and sat down: "What about other things?" Didn't you say several things? ”

Qiu Yishan walked to the door of the office, suddenly opened the door, looked around twice, then closed the door, walked to Qiu Gubo and sat down: "Don't investigate last night's murder." ”

Qiu Gubo was stunned: "Why?" No, why? That's my case, you said you wouldn't investigate it if you didn't investigate it? ”

"I'm your son! Or your top boss! Qiu Yishan said sharply, and after speaking, his voice returned to the appearance of a loving father, "I'm doing this for your good!" If you don't check it, don't check it! ”

Expressionlessly, Qiu Gu Bo pulled out his gun and pointed it at his temple.

Qiu Yishan looked anxious, stretched out his hand to grab the gun, Qiu Gubo got up, while hiding, he cried and shouted there: "Mother, my son is not filial, I haven't let you hug my grandson, and I can't give you any more filial piety, you can forgive me for being an unfilial son." ”

After saying that, Qiu Gubo was there howling, but there was not a single tear.

Qiu Yishan sat down: "Okay, okay, you threaten Lao Tzu with suicide every time, you know that Lao Tzu feels sorry for you, and you also know that Lao Tzu is just a son like you, let me tell you, that is, your little mother's stomach is not angry, otherwise, you would have died hundreds of times!" ”

"That's your own problem, don't blame my little mothers." Qiu Gubo put away the gun and sat down again, "Say, why can't you check it?" ”

With the anger that he couldn't investigate the case, Qiu Gubo came to the gun hangar alone, sat there wiping the gun, thinking.

This is his way of thinking, and only in the arsenal, next to these cold killing tools, will he completely calm down.

Qiu Yishan told him that since the afternoon, there have been phone calls into his office, and people have personally visited him, and these people from all walks of life in Yongcheng have been doing nothing else, just to stop him from investigating the series of murders that happened last night.

"Why?" At that time, Qiu Gubo stood up after hearing this, and asked angrily, "So many people died, those two killers are fucking forgotten, but what about the innocent dead in the inn?" How do you explain to the people of Yongcheng? ”

Qiu Yishan looked at Qiu Gubo and said seriously: "The husband and the people can't start with worry, but can be happy." What do the common people know? Even if the case is solved, for them, it is just an after-dinner conversation. ”

Qiu Gubo looked at Qiu Yishan seriously: "Dad, although I don't like to read, but I have also read "Zizhi Tongjian", I still remember that the "Book of Songs" said 'those who win people prosper, and those who lose people collapse', if one day the people of Yongcheng no longer believe in you, even if they can't do anything to you, the overseers and marshals above can do it to you by calming the anger of the people, you can do it yourself." ”
