Just when Cao Lijun was about to turn around and leave, Wang Xiongjie seemed to suddenly remember something and asked: "When you came to the hospital before, did you read Teacher Bai's medical records?"

Cao Lijun stopped and turned around, looking very puzzled: "I've seen it. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Wang Xiongjie's smile was harmless: "What you said before is right: although there are conflicts between you, you are a couple after all. You are her husband, so you should pay more attention to her body."

What he said was a bit meaningless, but on the surface it sounded fine. Cao Lijun nodded hesitantly, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the inpatient department building.

…

Looking at the direction in which Cao Lijun's back disappeared, Hu Pingtao said lightly: "This man... the city is very deep."

Ding Jian nodded and agreed: "It seems that he knows everything, but in fact it is just polite words. You can find out if you spend more time."

Zhang Yixuan said: "This guy has very strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities."

Wang Xiongjie looked at everyone present in order: "This is the truth, but you should keep your morals in mind! There are conflicts between husband and wife, and in Cao Lijun's position, it is not easy to do this."

Zhang Yixuan said: "I have no objection to him, I just discuss the matter——Cao Lijun has a strong motive for killing."

Ding Jian came over, with thoughts on his chubby face: "It's rare to see such a combination of an old man and a young wife. Mr. Bai is very beautiful, and his figure is not to mention. I wouldn't want my wife to change him."

Showing off outside all day long. Occasionally following

It’s just a meal with friends and colleagues, no one can stand it every day. Zhang Yixuan is right, Old Man Cao has enough motive to kill. More importantly, his unit is the Institute of Botany, and it is easy to do research.

To Nux vomica.”

Zhang Yixuan corrected the mistake in his words: "It's strychnine, not strychnine."

Ding Jian snorted: "In my opinion, they are all the same, there is no difference."

Wang Xiongjie ignored them, turned to Hu Pingtao who was thinking, and asked: "Xiaohu, tell me your opinion."

Hu Pingtao pondered for a moment: "I think the option of "property disputes" can be eliminated. Although I have only been in contact with Teacher Bai for a short time, I can feel that she is a person with a cheerful personality. As for her husband, we cannot simply use it as good or bad."

Distinguish. After all, the husband and wife have different positions. Cao Lijun has his own ideas. As he said, it is very traditional."

"I think the focus of the next step of investigation should be on the source of toxins."

"The first is the method of poisoning. When I was in the bureau, I wanted to say that since there is no problem with the "Jingpo people", the poisoner should be in the takeout transportation process, that is, the food is received and delivered to Bai Yueping.

I have been doing some tricks for a while. The takeout receipts and ordering phone calls are all recorded. I suggest that the person who delivers the takeout be arrested immediately and interrogated."

Wang Xiongjie nodded: "This afternoon we summoned the food delivery person in accordance with the law. He was a young man who came to work in the provincial capital from a prefecture. His surname is Shan, Shan Wenfei."

Hu Pingtao continued: "Secondly, the scope of the investigation should be expanded to Bai Yueping's colleagues in the unit. According to Cao Lijun, Bai Yueping's performance has been outstanding since entering the party school, otherwise she would not have been transferred from the municipal party school to the provincial party school. She works in a high-profile manner.

and

If you don't restrain yourself and have lots of dinner parties, you can easily arouse the envy, jealousy and hatred of others. Moreover, at Bai Yueping's current age, she has already applied for associate professor, and the superiors are sure that she will be approved soon. This is enough to become the motive of murder for jealous people.

.”

"Finally, we need to strengthen the supervision of Bai Yueping and the surveillance of Cao Lijun. If the murder fails, the murderer will definitely plan and carry out a second action. Although Cao Lijun seems to be honest, he also has a strong motive for killing...

If not, Brother Wang, please go back, I will stay here on duty tonight."

Wang Xiongjie saw through his mind: "Do you want to have a good talk with Bai Yueping?"

Hu Pingtao did not deny: "I have classes tomorrow during the day, and I have to wait until night to come and go. After all, I have had contact with Teacher Bai, so it is easy to gain her trust. Moreover, today is the first night after the incident.

, as a victim, although Bai Yueping's consciousness has recovered, she is somewhat frightened. At this time, having a policeman by her side can give her a strong sense of security. From an ideological point of view, I have the dual identity of "student" and "policeman"

, is her best confidant."

Wang Xiongjie nodded simply: "Okay, I'll do as you say! I'll leave you another person with double posts. I'll replace you at six o'clock tomorrow morning and take you to the party school by the way."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said, "Then I'll go."

"Wait." Wang Xiongjie stopped him: "Our people are guarding the outside of the ward, and Cao Lijun has just gone up and won't leave for a while. While you are still free, go to a nearby restaurant to eat something.

Something to fill your stomach.”

…

It's late at night.

The special care ward seems to be divided into an inner room and an outer room, but in fact there is an extra mezzanine board that separates the private bathroom from the ward.

Cao Lijun left long ago, and the nanny Yang Fang did not stay.

As a husband, he just hired a caregiver for his wife to stay in bed and stay overnight.

The nurse is a middle-aged woman in her forties who has no sense of dedication to her job. Hu Pingtao sat on a chair outside the ward and took a nap. At around two o'clock in the middle of the night, the nurse excused herself to go to the toilet and was afraid of a separate bathroom.

The sound of the toilet flush disturbed Bai Yueping from her rest, so she walked into the elevator, claiming that it was convenient to go to the public restroom downstairs.

Once I left, I never came back.

The doctor on duty at the nursing station made rounds in the middle of the night. He was not surprised by this. Faced with Hu Pingtao's inquiry, he spread his hands and said: "No way, some nurses are like this. They say they stay with the bed all night, but they sneak back in the middle of the night.

Sleeping at home. They rented a house nearby and came back when it was almost dawn. Resting on the bedside and sleeping on the bed are two different concepts. Anyway, be lazy if you can, so just save it if you can!"

Ward rounds in the middle of the night are mainly to see if the patient has convulsions and whether his breathing and other conditions are stable.

Bai Yueping was not asleep. The doctor and Hu Pingtao had just come in. She slowly turned over and stared at them in the darkness.

When the doctor on duty left, she said slowly and weakly: "Xiaohu, please give me a pillow so that I can sit up."

Hu Pingtao used the rocker to tilt the upper part of the hospital bed and added a pillow behind Bai Yueping.

"Thank you!" Seeing Hu Pingtao pull up a chair and sit down by the bed, Bai Yueping smiled weakly: "Thank you so much for today. I felt like I was going to die at the time, but then I woke up and heard the doctor say, if it hadn't been for you at that time

The rescue at the scene was timely, but I’m afraid I’m really doomed.”

Hu Pingtao consoled him: "The doctor is exaggerating a little. In fact, it is not that serious. Teacher Bai, your toxin intake at that time was not large. Even if Ding Jian and I were not present, it would be too late to wait for the 120 ambulance to arrive."

Bai Yueping's face turned pale, and there was no red on her lips: "I can't sleep...can you talk to me?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "Okay! My mission is to protect you anyway."

Bai Yueping asked: "This case must be difficult to investigate, right?"

Hu Pingtao replied noncommittally: "The murderer is very cunning."

"Cao Lijun must have talked to you." Bai Yueping's eyes flashed with understanding: "What did he say?"

Hu Pingtao was keenly aware that she did not use pronouns such as "husband", but called him by his first name.

"It's just a normal investigation and inquiry." There was no need to hide this from Bai Yueping. Hu Pingtao simply stated: "Your husband is still very good to you. He cares about you very much. I hope our police can solve the case as soon as possible and catch the murderer.

"

Bai Yueping said nothing and fell into silence for half a minute.

"...I suspect Cao Lijun is the murderer."

Hu Pingtao raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"He is no longer the Cao Lijun he used to be."

Bai Yueping's pretty face showed a trace of sadness: "I was young at that time and had an arrogant temper. When I think about it, I was still innocent when I was in school! To find a boyfriend, you need to be handsome, and you also need to be rich and powerful. Girls who study dance, basically

Most of the conditions are good, I mean the figure and appearance. But there are three types of people, there are red flowers and green leaves. The most beautiful and outstanding ones are naturally eye-catching, and there are a lot of suitors around them, but the one with the best overall conditions

That kind of thing.”

"When I was a freshman, all the pretty girls in the class had boyfriends. My conditions were not bad, and there were people chasing me, but I didn't like them. They were either average-looking or had poor family circumstances. In short, they were not

My ideal candidate.”

"When I was in my junior year, I fell in love with a boy from the music department. He was two years younger than me. He was very handsome. His father was in the steel business, and his mother ran a supermarket. Our family was very rich."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. It was me who took the initiative from the beginning to the end. In today's terms, it's a backlash. We rented a house outside and lived together. He liked me very much, but after all, he was young and many of his behaviors seemed childish. Later, he

He took me home to meet his parents. His father was very open-minded and said that as long as he liked it, it would be fine. His mother looked down on me and was very direct: As long as she is here, she will not recognize me as her daughter-in-law."

"I was very naive at that time. She was strong and so was I. So I told her that I was pregnant."

"His mother refused to let me go at that time. She called a few people and took me to a familiar clinic that night for a pregnancy test. I was really angry and just talked about it, but I didn't expect that she would take it seriously. Although my boyfriend and I

Friends live together, but they are very careful when doing things like that, and the protection is in place. After all, this kind of thing is no joke. If something really goes wrong, the school will definitely deal with it, and in serious cases, you will be expelled."

Speaking of this, Bai Yueping paused. She looked at Hu Pingtao and said sincerely: "Xiaohu, these are my secrets. The reason why I tell you is that I hope it will be helpful to you in investigating the case and catch the murderer as soon as possible."

.”

Hu Pingtao looked into her eyes: "Teacher Bai, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of death!" A look of fear appeared on Bai Yueping's face: "I never thought that I would encounter such a thing. When I was eating in the restaurant, I felt that my whole body was paralyzed and I couldn't move. The feeling of suffocation was so strong.

...I don’t want to die! The person who poisoned me must know that I am still alive, and he will definitely attack me again.”

Her whole body was trembling: "Please, I will tell you whatever you want to know. I just ask you to protect me and don't let me die."

Seeing Bai Yueping becoming agitated, Hu Pingtao quickly comforted her: "Teacher Bai, the situation is not as serious as you think. Don't worry, we will definitely catch the murderer and bring him to justice."

"Then arrest Cao Lijun." Bai Liping went crazy. She grabbed Hu Pingtao's wrist tightly, breathing heavily and speaking incoherently: "It's him who wants to kill me...it must be him!"

"Calm down." Hu Pingtao freed his hand and picked up the cup on the bedside: "Drink some water, don't be so excited."

After drinking a glass of warm water, Bai Liping calmed down a lot.

She took several deep breaths, her voice lowered, and her speaking speed gradually slowed down: "I'm sorry... I made you laugh."
