Chapter 153: A Hypothesis

"This ...... Xiao Du, you asked me if the disappearance of the population has anything to do with this python...... Frankly, I don't know. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Indeed, with just a snake skin, you ask Shen Guoguo to give a conclusion, which is obviously difficult for some strong people.

However, it was difficult for Shen Guoguo to make a decision, but Tang Hongxi said with a straight face: "Whether the missing person has anything to do with the Sen Python, I think we might as well make an assumption." ”

"Hypothetical? What assumptions? Du Guolong asked in surprise.

Tang Hongxi replied: "It's reverse reasoning, let's assume that this matter was done by Sen Python." ”

"Don't sell it, say specific!" Du Guolong said impatiently.

Shrugging his shoulders, the corners of Tang Hongxi's lips skimmed out a curvature: "Okay, then Officer Du, let me ask you a question first, what is the first thing you consider when you handle cases every day and want to infer whether a person is related to the case?" ”

"Nature is the motive, we have to see if this person has a motive to commit the crime!!" Professional questions Du Guolong is handy, just ......, "What are you asking for?" Now we're talking about snakes, how did you get to that point? ”

With his eyebrows raised, Du Guolong questioned.

Tang Hongxi ignored Du Guolong's questioning, and he naturally gave an explanation: "Whether it is a human or an animal, as long as you live in this plane, everything must have a motive. That being the case, you might as well consider whether this python had a motive to kill these missing humans? ”

"You're not talking nonsense! Snakes eating people is nothing new, it can kill whenever it wants! ”

"Good! So why do snakes eat people!? Tang Hongxi asked immediately.

Du Guolong spat angrily: "Phew, where does Lao Tzu know what beasts think, he is hungry, it is full, its head is kicked by a donkey, it is ......"

"OK," raised his hand to interrupt Du Guolong's "irritability", Tang Hongxi stopped the former's meaningless venting, turned to look at Shen Guoguo, and then continued: "Dr. Shen, you are an expert in this field, do you think we found that this snake has a motive for committing the crime?" Or is it possible that it ate these missing persons? ”

seems to be an ordinary question, but in fact, Tang Hongxi is already subtly guiding the topic.

Hearing this, Shen Guoguo dragged his cheeks and pondered for a while, and replied: "If you really want to say that you are looking for a motive, hiss~ Don't say it, there really is!" ”

"Really? Then Dr. Shen may wish to tell us more about it. Tang Hongxi continued to guide.

Pointing to the plastic bag containing the snakeskin, Shen Guoguo swept his eyes over the three people in front of the table: "Everyone, pay attention, this snake skin is a small piece of the snakeskin that has been removed from the python's body, judging from the condition, it is very new!" It should have just been shed recently. Snakes, on the other hand, often fast for a period of time before molting in order to be able to shed their skin smoothly, so as to ensure that the molting process is not hindered by the bloated body. ”

Unconsciously taught everyone another lesson, but then Shen Guoguo changed his words: "So, after molting, the snake is in a state of relative hunger, plus the consumption of the molting process, if someone appears in front of them at this time, and they happen to have no food, then it is not impossible for the snake not to attack people." ”

What Tang Hongxi needs is Shen Guoguo's words: "OK, that is to say, snakes will eat people because they are hungry, so this should be regarded as the motive for snakes to attack missing persons!?" ”

"Uh...... That said, yes. ”

"Good! Then let's move on! Regardless of whether others had anything to say, Tang Hongxi said to himself: "Now that the snake has the motive to attack people, does he have such an ability?" Or can it kill people easily? ”

Turning his gaze, Tang Hongxi fell on Shen Guoguo unexpectedly.

Professional questions are naturally convincing to be answered by a special person, Tang Hongxi immediately spoke: "Dr. Shen, you still have to tell us whether this snake has the ability to kill." ”

"Well, snakes attack their prey, and there are usually two means, one is venom, and the other is winding. This uses venom as a method of attack, and is usually a small snake with a small body, or a medium snake. And like what we now call the Sen python, he is a large python of the family of large snakes, it does not have fangs and venom glands. Because it does not need these auxiliary means to attack its prey, their hunting steps are simple and rude, that is, relying on the explosive contraction force of the spinal muscles to entangle the prey, squeeze, and suffocate the opponent to death. ”

Hearing this, Bai Muya's body couldn't help but tremble, obviously the picture of the woman's brain made her shudder.

And Tang Hongxi and Du Guolong are much more indifferent.

Tang Hongxi confirmed: "So, this python has the ability to hunt humans, am I right to say that, Dr. Shen?" ”

"Yes, you don't need to question this, there is no problem for a large hunter like the forest python to want to kill people." Shen Guoguo replied with great certainty.

"If that's the case, then could those missing people really have something to do with this python?" Don't want Tang Hongxi to guide her, Bai Muya was quite cooperative and put forward a consultation.

"This ......" Shen Guoguo showed a hint of hesitation on his face, no doubt that he still had doubts about this statement in his heart.

Compared with Shen Guoguo's hesitation, Du Guolong was more direct, and he simply vetoed: "That's not right! Even if this snake has the motive and ability to commit the crime, the environmental factors are not right!! ”

has been replaced by Tang Hongxi into the mindset, and Du Guolong also began to use criminal investigation methods to discuss current matters.

"How?" Shen Guoguo immediately asked, he wanted to hear the opinion of Du Guolong, a professional criminal investigator.

"It's very simple, no matter what the hell is causing these tourists to go missing, he has to have the environment to commit the crime, and he has to get close to the target before he can take follow-up. But you have also seen this civilian area, there are people everywhere during the day, and this python from the number you just gave, Lao Shen, his body length is generally more than ten meters, looking at this snake skin, his body circumference is not small, everyone, think about it, just like that, do you think it may move at will in the Pingming District? And killed a dozen or so people? ”

A question worth pondering, Shen Guoguo touched the small bus and muttered to himself: "Yes, it is strange for a big snake like the Sen Python to appear in the human gathering area, and it is even more impossible to move and kill people in it at will." Xiao Tang, I'm afraid of this...... It wasn't the python who did it. ”

"But according to you, if this snake can't be out of the human eye, how can the snake skin on this table be explained?"

Yes, Bai Muya's rhetorical question is very pertinent.

According to Du Guolong and Shen Guoguo's arguments, the forest python is large and unlikely to sneak into human gathering places, especially in places like Pingming District, which do not even have a basic drainage system.

If it were to appear, it wouldn't have escaped the eyes of humans.

But the problem is that the snake skin on the table was indeed found in the civilian area.
