"Necrotic muscles must be cut off, and new tissue growth must focus on postoperative recovery and aesthetics. The balance point is difficult to control, and only the most skilled plastic surgeons can accurately determine it."

Xing Le looked a little stiff: "...so complicated?"

"There is another question." Hu Pingtao interjected: "If the residual toxins cannot be removed, even if you undergo cosmetic surgery, it will be useless. It will have lasting effects."

Cao Lijun glanced at Hu Pingtao in surprise: "I didn't expect you to do research on this?"

Hu Pingtao smiled: "I read very miscellaneous books."

Cao Lijun bowed forward, put his elbows on his knees, clasped his hands, and said mockingly: "When Yue Ping is discharged from the hospital, she will hate me even more than before."

"Why?" Xing Le asked almost reflexively.

"I like her very much." Cao Lijun raised his head with a sad expression: "This feeling is accumulated bit by bit over time. In fact, when we first met, I had no so-called love for her. I am older than her.

, has a sense of superiority in many aspects such as identity, status, income, etc. It’s like a person taking care of a little girl, but as she grows up day by day and becomes more and more beautiful, I also like her more.”

"Age is an insurmountable obstacle. Yue Ping has become more radiant, but I have gray hair... Can you understand how Yue Ping and I feel when others look at us strangely every time we go out? I know Yue Ping.

There is no man outside, and I know she has good intentions in asking me to attend dinner every time, but I can't talk and laugh in front of outsiders and admit that I am her husband."

"...Can you...understand it?"

Hu Pingtao looked at Cao Lijun calmly: "So you refuse to divorce?"

Cao Lijun did not answer directly: "I know you are investigating me during this period. I am transparent in front of you. In the past, I would have refused the interview tonight without hesitation, but now I can only passively accept it."

"You have been to my unit and know everything about me."

"The reason why Yueping and I don't have children is my problem... Many years ago, I went on an inspection trip and was injured in the primeval forest of the Nu River Gorge. In order to pick plants, I fell off a cliff more than ten meters high.

, hit a rock, damaged the scrotum, and completely lost fertility."

"Many people choose DINK-style marriage, and I thought Yue Ping was also of this type."

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Actually, you shouldn't hide it. You should tell her before getting married... Frankness is the basis of mutual trust."

Cao Lijun raised his head, his eyes full of sadness: "I dare not do this... I am a man... If you have had the same experience as me, you will understand every word I am saying now."

Hu Pingtao sighed in a low voice: "So Teacher Bai has changed. She no longer likes to be with you, and even hates everything you like, including braised pig head meat and braised intestines."

Cao Lijun covered his face with his hands and uttered a painful whisper: "She used to like it... She liked whatever I liked... Later, she didn't even want to sit with me while eating."

Hu Pingtao advised: "Go to the hospital to accompany Teacher Bai! Don't stay at home alone. In fact, the conflicts between you and her are very simple. They just need to be explained and understood."

Cao Lijun let go of his hand, wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Who poisoned me?"

Hu Pingtao's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he said lightly: "I once doubted you."

Cao Lijun shook his head: "It's not me. Although I can't prove it, I can make a promise with everything I have - it's really not me. If it could be exchanged, I would rather the person lying on the hospital bed now is not Yue

Ping, it’s me.”

Hu Pingtao smiled slightly: "You are a good man, but not a good husband."

Just as he was talking, the nanny Yang Fang came out from the bathroom carrying a basin of clothes.

Hu Pingtao glanced at her and said with a smile: "You're still doing laundry so late?"

Yang Fang walked to the open balcony with a basin, took out a few hangers from the storage basket, strung the clothes on them with her fat hands, and said with a smile: "Underwear must be washed every day. It will be uncomfortable to wear it if it is dirty!"

She quickly hung up her clothes and walked into the living room.

There are not many clothes, just a pair of men's underwear and two pairs of socks, one for men and one for women.

Hu Pingtao watched her series of actions from a distance, his heart moved slightly, and he asked tentatively: "Why don't you use a washing machine?"

He noticed that when Yang Fang took the clothes from the basin and hung them on the hangers, she wring them out hard. If it was washed in a washing machine, there would be an automatic drying process, so there wouldn't be so much residual moisture.

The fat nanny smiled and said: "With just a few clothes, there is no need to use a washing machine. It costs electricity, water and makes a lot of noise."

"That's true." Hu Pingtao nodded, and then praised: "You are very diligent! There are not many responsible nannies like you, it is difficult to find."

Cao Lijun added: "Sister Fang is indeed very diligent. She takes care of everything inside and outside. I am usually busy and can't take care of it at all. Many things are thanks to Sister Fang, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to drink tea tonight."

superior."

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "So, Sister Fang usually cooks at home?"

Yang Fang replied: "It's nothing. I just get up in the morning and cook some porridge and steam the steamed buns that have been prepared in advance. Or I can add some noodles and cook a bowl of rice noodles. In the evening, Teacher Cao and I will eat this meal.

He doesn’t have high requirements for dishes, just one meat, one vegetable and one soup.”

Hu Pingtao asked: "Teacher Bai is not eating at home?"

"She always eats out," Yang Fang said.

"What time does she usually come back in the evening?" Hu Pingtao asked again.

Cao Lijun replied: "Sometimes it's later, but never more than eleven o'clock. Most of the time I get home at nine-thirty."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hu Pingtao stood up from the sofa, walked to Cao Lijun, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Teacher Cao is also a celebrity in our Yunnan Province and a well-known expert in the country. That... Xing Le, use my

Use your mobile phone and take a photo of Teacher Cao and me."

Xing Le was surprised by his request. He took the mobile phone handed over by Hu Pingtao and asked subconsciously: "Take the photo here?"

"Yes, take the photo here." Hu Pingtao emphasized his tone, and then seemed to remember something. He quickly waved to the nanny Yang Fang standing on the side and said enthusiastically: "Sister Fang, come too!"

Yang Fang quickly waved her hands and declined: "You do what you want, why should I get involved?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "You make it look real! I usually like to post on Weibo and WeChat Moments. If someone sees the photo and says I posted it on my computer, I will say that Sister Fang is the nanny at Teacher Cao's house.

Only in this way can we have credibility.”

Yang Fang was a little hesitant. It could be seen that she had no interest in taking photos and was even a little resistant.

Cao Lijun didn't think much and kept urging: "Come together! Just take a photo."

Yang Fang had no choice but to walk over and stand next to Hu Pingtao. The three of them posed and Xing Le took several photos in succession.

…

Out the door and back to the car.

Xing Le was about to turn the key and start the engine, but Hu Pingtao reached out to stop him.

"Wait a minute, don't drive."

Xing Le turned his head and looked at him curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Hu Pingtao's eyes were deep: "I suddenly thought of some questions, but I'm not sure yet."

"Is it related to the case?" Xing Le asked.

Hu Pingtao nodded: "If I guess correctly, Yang Fang is highly suspicious."

"Yang Fang? Are you talking about that nanny?"

Hu Pingtao stared at the night sky in front of him and spoke in a very low voice: "Cao Lijun and Bai Yueping have been separated for many years due to physical and personality reasons. As you heard just now, Cao Lijun admitted that he was unwilling to divorce and separated from Bai Yueping.

.The question then arises—how did the couple resolve their individual sexual needs during such a long separation?”

"Actually, both Cao Lijun and Bai Yueping are lying. This couple is quite interesting. They love and hate each other. Needless to say, Cao Lijun told more or less the truth tonight. Bai Yueping still feels sorry for Cao Lijun.

Have feelings, values ​​and life philosophy

Her thoughts have changed, and she is no longer the little girl who just entered the society many years ago. With a certain amount of property and ability, coupled with her good looks, there is no shortage of suitors. Comparing left and right, Cao Lijun is a rich man.

Her husband, who is more than ten years older than her, looks greasy."

Xing Le couldn't help but take a breath: "You mean, Bai Yueping has a lover outside?"

"We can't rule out this possibility... Well, it should be very possible." Hu Pingtao said seriously: "A woman who doesn't go home until after nine o'clock in the evening and rarely eats dinner at home, this period after get off work Time, is there a meal every day?"

Xing Le asked: "Is Bai Yueping lying?"

Hu Pingtao turned around and glanced at her: "If it were you, would you honestly say "I have a man outside"?"

Xing Le turned pale, blushed, and said angrily: "...I...I have never experienced this."

Hu Pingtao was too lazy to tease her: "If you ask Bai Yueping face to face, she will definitely not admit it, but as long as we are willing to investigate, we can also know who Bai Yueping's lover is."

"Then let's investigate this area! Maybe that man is the murderer."

"If I had thought of this yesterday, I would have definitely focused my attention in that direction. But it's different now. Yang Fang is very suspicious."

Xing Le asked puzzledly: "Why?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "On the day of the accident, when I saw Cao Lijun in the hospital, I felt that there was a high probability that this case was a murder of love or revenge. There were many men surrounding Bai Yueping, and she even had more than one lover. As long as

If there are more than two, strong jealousy may arise, which may develop into hatred and then murder.”

"The desire for revenge may come from her lover, or it may be the man's family. This is an era full of temptations and materialistic desires. It feels terrible to have a family destroyed... For example, let's talk about me! If someone

Tell me, your wife cheated on you, this couple

For me, it's more uncomfortable than death. I will call my wife immediately for confirmation. If she happens to be singing and dancing with that man outside, and she also says nasty things on the phone to deliberately stimulate me... don't say it's true.

If they were poisoned, I would just pick up a kitchen knife and chop them to death."

Xing Le felt nervous in his heart, but he pretended to be relaxed: "I didn't see it! You also have violent tendencies."

"No man can bear it!" Hu Pingtao sighed: "So what Cao Lijun said tonight has already shown his attitude."
