Although Xing Le doesn't like Hu Pingtao, Wang Xiongjie has given an order and she must obey.

We had contacted the Institute of Botany in advance. From superior leaders to ordinary employees, Hu Pingtao had a brief chat with everyone.

"Cao Lijun is a very good person. He is very serious in his work and has a sense of responsibility. He is an expert in our institute and the host of several topics and projects. He has also been rated as an outstanding worker for several consecutive years."

"You're talking about the old Cao from the research lab! That guy is quite nice, but his personality is a little meek. He doesn't usually interact with others. At most, we meet him on the walk or say hello and nod when eating in the cafeteria. He should

He doesn’t like to socialize and doesn’t have many friends. He rarely attends New Year’s and holiday dinners at work and never drinks.”

"Lao Cao is a boring gourd who keeps everything to himself. I used to be in the same department as him, and I helped him arrange his marriage before. I know everything about him and his wife. Lao Cao is an average-looking guy.

, in today’s terms, he looks very good.

Anxious, showing his age. He was not actually old when he got married, only in his thirties. But his wife was young, more than ten years younger than him. Old couples and young wives are prone to problems. I heard that his wife

There are wild men outside, who have cuckolded Lao Cao a lot..."

"I have met his wife. She is very beautiful. She and Lao Cao look like father and daughter together. Let me make it clear in advance! I am not speaking ill of Lao Cao behind his back. The couple is indeed like this, and this

I’m not the only one saying this. If you don’t believe me, go to the office and ask around, everyone thinks so.”

"His wife's family came to the office to make trouble before. I remember that incident very clearly. In the third year of their marriage, Lao Cao's mother-in-law came to the work and made a big fuss. The words were very unpleasant, saying that Lao Cao was cheating.

He married her daughter and said that Lao Cao was a phony who only had skills but no eggs.

Like men, in fact, they don’t have that ability, and they can’t even raise a child... Just know this and don’t talk nonsense outside. Lao Cao has a lot of face, and this matter has a great impact on him.

.Since then, he has become very silent and no longer participates in the activities of the unit."

Hu Pingtao asked for leave in the afternoon. He specifically chose this day to come to understand the situation because Cao Lijun was on rotation today.

At around four o'clock, he and Xing Le left the Institute of Botany and went to Bai Yueping's mother's house.

The old lady is old but in good spirits. She came back from the hospital after receiving a call in the morning and was waiting at home.

"I went to the vegetable market at noon and bought an old hen. I'm stewing it now. I'll take it to the hospital to help my daughter recuperate in the evening."

"Sigh... Comrade police, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I really regret this marriage! If I had known this, I shouldn't have married Yue Ping to the bastard named Cao. At that time, Yue Ping was young and ignorant. I was introduced by the introducer.

If you say that Cao Lijun is a high-ranking official and Yue Ping can marry him, you will be well-off and drink hot food, so you will believe it."

"After so many years of marriage, Yueping's belly has never been bulging. As a mother, I became anxious when I saw it. During that time, I kept running to my in-laws' house, but Cao Lijun's old couple didn't say anything and asked too many questions.

They were anxious with me, saying that this was "their own business," and then scolded me in turn, saying that there was something wrong with Yue Ping's health."

"My own daughter, can I not be clear about it?"

"When Yue Ping was in school in her early years, she did have an easier time with others. But I guarantee with my head that she has no fertility problems."

"There is no such thing as a child! Later I looked away. But Cao Lijun changed later. No matter how he looked at Yue Ping, he didn't like it. The two of them kept quarreling for various reasons. Yue Ping was sometimes angry.

However, just go back to your parents’ home and stay with me for ten days and a half, and then go back when your anger subsides.”

"You asked Cao Lijun if he had called her? Yes, of course he had. But his dog mouth couldn't spit out ivory. As soon as he called her, he said a few words and then started arguing. Several times, I heard the moon

Ping cried into the phone and said, "Do you want me to die to be happy?" Tell me, are there any husbands like this?"

"I'm old. The old man passed away many years ago. I only have one daughter, Yue Ping. If I don't love her, who else can I love?"

…

Bai Yueping's mother kept talking endlessly, and the conversation lasted until past seven o'clock in the evening.

Coming out of the old lady's house, Hu Pingtao looked at the sky shrouded in night and said apologetically to Xing Le: "Find a place to eat!"

Xing Le glared at him angrily: "It's rare, you still treat me?"

Hu Pingtao smiled nonchalantly: "You have the final say on what you eat."

Although Xing Le was angry, she still had a sense of propriety. She parked the car on the roadside and ordered two stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of soup from a roadside stall. She and Hu Pingtao sat down separately and each ordered a bowl.

I ate the rice with a heavy head.

After finishing his meal quickly, Hu Pingtao took out a hundred-dollar bill to pay the bill. While waiting for the boss to ask for change, he took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit one, and smoked slowly.

Xing Le frowned and looked at him: "Smoking is bad for your health, so you should quit!"

Hu Pingtao smiled: "This is the first nice thing you said today. I really didn't realize it... In fact, you are very beautiful, why do you have to be so fierce? This is simply destroying your appearance!"

Xing Le waved his hand at him contemptuously: "Captain Wang said, let me keep an eye on you. You are a married man, and your wife is beautiful. Captain Wang said that you have been calling him "Brother Wang", and he

I have to be responsible for you."

Hu Pingtao choked on a puff of cigarette and coughed repeatedly. He finally regained his composure and asked in a dumbfounded voice: "Did Wang Xiongjie say this? Have you seen my wife?"

"I haven't seen it before."

At this time, the boss found some change. Hu Pingtao took it, put it in his pocket, and stood up: "Let's go!"

Xing Le sat on the chair and did not move. He just tilted his mouth symbolically and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Detective, where are you going next?"

After following Hu Pingtao around all afternoon, chatting with all kinds of people, she felt that she had gained absolutely nothing.

Hu Pingtao said, "You have to work hard. You have to go to two places tonight. One is Shan Wenfei's girlfriend's place, and the other is Cao Lijun's house."

…

Shan Wenfei is a foreigner, and he found a girlfriend in the provincial capital. Although he is a local, he comes from a single-parent family, and his economic situation is low, even very bad.

This girl named Chen Xiaohong has a delicate appearance and a good figure. She is very clean overall. Although the cosmetics she uses are not high-grade, she gives people a fresh feeling. Although Xing Le is a woman, she can't help but take a few more glances.

The house is not big, with an area of ​​about ten square meters. It is an old self-built house in an urban village, with a separate part used as a separate bathroom. It is narrow and cramped. It can barely accommodate a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and there is almost no room for movement.

That kind of.

Shan Wenfei delivered takeaways and had to come back very late every day. Chen Xiaohong kept the house very clean. She brought two cups of steaming tea and sat quietly opposite Hu Pingtao and Xing Le.

"This house is for rent." The young girl was a little shy: "Wen Fei and I are not well educated. He delivers food and I work in a supermarket. If you want to get married, you must have a house. In short... save as much money as you can!"

Hu Pingtao looked around and asked with interest: "You are a local, why don't you go home to live? That way, you can save the cost of renting a house."

Chen Xiaohong shyly raised her hand to smooth the long hair around her ears, lowered her head, and said sheepishly: "...My mother doesn't like Wen Fei and doesn't allow me to be with him."

Hu Pingtao nodded understandingly: "Because he is from out of town?"

Chen Xiaohong gave a low "Yeah": "My mother has always introduced me to boyfriends, but I don't like those people. Wen Fei came from the village, and my mother thought he had no money and couldn't give him a bride price."

Xing Le stood beside him and complained: "What age are you in, and you still need a betrothal gift?"

Chen Xiaohong lowered her head, her face slightly red: "My mother said that a daughter who gets married is just water thrown away. She has raised me for so many years, and she will never agree to my marriage without a bride price."

Xing Le had a strong sense of justice and said angrily: "You can go to the street office and the community for help, and you can also go to the Women's Federation where you have your registered permanent residence. It is illegal to interfere with free marriage!"

Chen Xiaohong smiled peacefully: "Actually, my mother just talked about it, so I moved out and let her calm down for a while. Wen Fei and I have saved a lot of money over the years, and we have also looked at the house, and we will go back after buying it.

By then she will have calmed down... There is no need to make a fuss, everything will be happy if the family is harmonious!"

Xing Le frowned: "But the problem is..."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand to push her and said with a smile: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Xiao Chen is right. Everyone has their own way of dealing with it. The Women's Federation is just one of them. You have to respect other people's choices."

With that said, he faced Chen Xiaohong and changed the topic: "Xiao Chen, we are here today because there are some things we want to talk to you about."

After hearing Hu Pingtao's purpose, Chen Xiaohong thought for a few seconds and said seriously: "Wen Fei probably doesn't know the woman named Bai Yueping."

Her tone was very certain. Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"I know Wen Fei very well, and he will not do things outside without telling me." Chen Xiaohong said: "I have known him for almost three years. Although he has not gone to school, he is still a good person.

He has no relatives in the provincial capital, and his friends are limited to people of the same level as him. Teachers at the Provincial Party School... Haha, this social level is really too high."

"Wen Fei often jokes that he knows where many big shots live. This is not surprising, because every day when he goes out, he may come into contact with these people. For example, some high-end luxury communities, civil servant communities in the province and city, and various social celebrities

...When I was in school, I watched Hong Kong movies. The rich people all brought bodyguards and never had contact with outsiders. Now I realize that they all still have to eat, drink, have sex, and live their lives. Not to mention Wen Fei, even me

When I work as a cashier in a supermarket, I often see many celebrities shopping."

"Once again, Wen Fei went to the south to deliver food. When he arrived at the place, the customer opened the door to receive the goods, and he found out that the other party was a very famous female host. When we were children, we often saw her on TV. Now everyone is playing with mobile phones, and they don't care about her anymore.

It’s not so touching. When Wen Fei came back and told me about this, he was very emotional. He said that when he saw the female host on TV, she was so beautiful and young, but now she has become a middle-aged woman, and she is also undressed.

Makeup is basically two people."

Hu Pingtao smiled and took notes in his notebook, and said as if casually: "Haha, you just said that you have a good relationship with Shan Wenfei. I didn't quite believe it... Now it seems that it should be true."

"He doesn't have a woman outside." Chen Xiaohong's voice was very soft: "In fact, whether a man treats himself well or not can be seen from his daily behavior and his behavior after returning home."

Xing Le, an unmarried young woman, suddenly became interested: "How do you know?"

Chen Xiaohong had a smile on her face, full of confidence and happiness: "Because I want to buy a house, Wen Fei's monthly salary is entrusted to me for safekeeping. In the food delivery business, the more you work, the more you get, and you will get more if you don't work hard. Just give me an order."

If you have a single income, as long as you work hard and are willing to endure hardships, you can earn over 10,000 yuan a month."

Xing Le expressed doubts about this: "Is it really that high? As a civil servant, I only earn six or seven thousand a month!"

Chen Xiaohong nodded: "That's true. Let's just say last month! The salary Wen Fei gave me was more than 10,300 yuan. If it coincides with the New Year and the holidays, his income will be higher than this number.

"

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaohong bit her lower lip subconsciously, and then let go: "Not so much this month. I heard him say that something happened at the Provincial Party School, and you take him to the Public Security Bureau to understand the situation. He

I haven’t had the energy to go to work for a few days, and I wasted a lot of time..."

Xing Le said seriously: "If someone poisons someone, we must investigate the case. This is a matter of life and death."

Hu Pingtao looked at Chen Xiaohong and asked seriously: "How do you know Shan Wenfei won't go behind your back to do things outside?"

Chen Xiaohong said frankly: "You have never delivered food... In this business, you are on the road every day, come and go in wind and rain, and barely have a minute's rest. Wenfei only graduated from junior high school, and other than delivering food, he could not find a better fit.

, and a better job. Working at a construction site for a month can earn you thousands of dollars, but in addition to physical strength, it also requires connections. The job in the supermarket has an average income, and he doesn't like it either. Although delivering food is hard work, it is a good job.

How much you work or how little you do depends entirely on the individual, and you can see how much you can earn.”

"Twenty-four hours a day, apart from eating, sleeping and resting, he is on the road the rest of the time and has to keep grabbing orders. Only in this way can he get an income of over 10,000 yuan a month. If Wen Fei paid me the salary that month
