Is it normal to live on the phone to help your boyfriend investigate the case?

Chapter 8 Can Only Remember the Middle Words
Qu Mingcong took out a rubber glove from the backpack behind him, put it on his right hand, and then bent over and squatted down.

He raised the phone with his left hand to turn on the video mode, gently pulled the dead cat out of the trash can with his right hand, and gently rubbed the cat's fur with his thumb and index finger, which felt damp.

"Can you see the cause of death?" Qiao Yueying asked.

"It's very difficult." Qu Mingcong slowly turned the dead cat's body, and said in a deep voice, "The wounds were cut with a sharp weapon, but they were not many, and they didn't bleed much. The cause of death could not be determined.”

Qiao Yueying thought for a while, and then said, "Let me see if there are plastic bags or storage boxes in the trash can."

According to her wishes, Qu Mingzong pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the inside of the trash can.

There are a few bags of garbage inside, and the garbage bags are fastened. In addition, there are two express cartons. Some foam and waste paper are stuffed in the cartons. It seems that the remaining space inside the cartons is not enough to hold the dead cat. .

Qu Mingcong vaguely understood Qiao Yueying's meaning, "...someone threw the cat here, but the thing that pretended to be the cat was not left behind?"

"Strange, isn't it?" Qiao Yueying said, "If the person who abused the cat, no matter how careless they are when disposing of the cat's corpse, they would at least put it in a plastic bag and throw the bag into the trash can That's right, now it's more like letting people find out on purpose."

Qu Mingcong thought for a moment, then asked: "Is it possible that the cat container is still useful? Just now when the proprietress of the fruit shop was throwing away the rotten fruit, she put the rotten fruit in a foam box. Use it then."

Qiao Yueying shook her head, "A dead cat is different from a rotten fruit. It will leave blood stains and cat hair. These marks will increase unnecessary cleaning costs invisibly, and carrying a bag in your hand is far better than holding a bag in your hands." The box is more concealed. In addition, the cat's body is wet, which is also very strange. Isn't a wet dead cat more needed to be packed in a container? Where is the plastic bag or box with residual moisture? Why bother to take it away? ?”

Qu Mingcong was silent when he heard the words. After a while, he breathed out a sullen breath and said, "Maybe it's just like what you said, the other party did it on purpose, without concealing it, and deliberately wanted everyone to see the dead cat, and then let people see the dead cat from people's faces." I was satisfied with the terrified expression on my face. There are so many perverts now, there are everyone, and to be able to do something like cat abuse is 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 too, feeling a little irritable.

"Hope those two cats are okay," he said.

Qiao Yueying couldn't help being curious, and asked him, "Are you worried about the safety of the two cats, or are you worried that you won't get paid?"

Qu Mingcong: "..."

He gave her a cool look.

"Why? It's just chatting casually. It's fine if you don't want to answer. Why don't you show your face~" Qiao Yueying was very dissatisfied. This attitude towards me really hits my subjective initiative.”

Qu Mingcong keenly captured two words: "Girlfriend?"

"That's right, your sweetheart girlfriend." Qiao Yueying mentioned the title of the game very frankly.

The corner 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 well, a novice gift bag has made you hold grudges until now, and you have decided that I only have money in my eyes, right? Although I am not sympathetic, I don't like seeing animals being killed inexplicably. A perverted hobby."

Qiao Yueying's eyes widened slightly, and surprise flashed in her pupils.

Qu Mingcong twitched the corners of his mouth and asked coldly, "Is it so unbelievable?"

Qiao Yueying replied in a very surprised tone: "You rhymed just now, did you notice it?...Killed out of nowhere, I don't have that kind of perverted hobby ~ I rhymed it!"

Qu Mingcong: "..."

Crazy! ! !

"Brother Ming!—"

A crisp sound came from afar.

Qu Mingcong turned around and saw a young girl standing across the street waving at him.

Qiao Yueying also saw it. She was wearing a letter graffiti sweater and skinny jeans, her hair was brown wool curls, and she was carrying a super exaggerated lambswool bag. She was a fashionable girl with a full sense of street style.

"Her name is Xu Xinqi, and she was Wang Wei's ex-girlfriend. When the office first opened, Wang Wei pulled her over to help out. Later, the office's business was not doing well, so she found another job, but she was free. I’ll still come and help out when the time comes.”

Taking advantage of the moment when Xu Xinqi walked this way, Qu Mingcong finished the introduction in a few words.

Qiao Yueying asked, "Why did she and Wang Wei 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 middle letter 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. What's the matter?" Xu Xinqi walked over briskly, with a cheerful smile on her face.

"Wang Wei didn't tell you?" Qu Mingcong couldn't help frowning.

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 it true?"

Qu Mingcong: "..."

"Why, is he talking big again?" Xu Xinqi knew that Wang Wei was fooling her again when she saw Qu Mingcong's expression, but she was used to it, and said with a smile, "This Wang Wei should really be renamed Wang Chaotan, and he will talk nonsense all day long. , Fortunately, I broke up with him early."

Qu Mingcong closed his eyes and sighed.

"Actually... that's pretty much what it means." He took off the phone hanging around his neck and handed it to Xu Xinqi together with the data cable, "Later you go to the beauty salon to pick a project to do, and then make an excuse that the phone is running out of battery , Plug your mobile phone into the computer at the front desk of the beauty salon, the mobile phone will automatically search for the information in the computer, and when you hear the mobile phone ringing, you can find an excuse."

Xu Xinqi took the phone and said with a smile, "It's simple, just wait for my good news."

She threw the phone into a large lambswool bag, turned and walked towards the beauty salon.

Qu Mingcong stopped her again: "Xiaoqi..."

Xu Xinqi looked back at him: "Huh?"

Qu Mingcong hesitated to speak—it was an ordinary sentence, he had told Xu Xinqi before, but now that there is an extra Qiao Yueying on the phone, why is it so difficult to say it?
"For beauty salon projects, don't choose expensive ones." Qu Mingcong said to her with a dull face.

"Relax!" Xu Xinqi chuckled, "I'll just do a deep skin care, and remove blackheads, it won't be too expensive!"

After finishing speaking, she happily walked into the beauty salon with a big lambskin bag on her back.
