Liu Xiao'e said coldly: "Even if he wants to touch me, he has to have a chance. I deliberately soiled my body, and he was not interested after seeing it. I also kept the sanitary napkins I used before and put them on when the time comes.

Pour some water on your underwear, and it will look the same as if you were having your period on the same day. Cao Zhong is a very clever person, but he doesn’t know anything about women.”

"Sometimes he can't hold it in anymore and he comes hard. Even if my bottom is red, he still wants it. Hum... just come! Who is afraid of who? Anyway, I can't get pregnant at that time, so I don't think it's a big deal. Besides,

Every time I come with him, I have to clean my vagina in order to reduce the chance of pregnancy."

"All in all, even if I am not absolutely sure, I can basically guarantee that the three children have nothing to do with him."

Hu Pingtao shook his head: "Is this what you call revenge?"

Liu Xiao'e asked back: "Isn't this enough? Cao Zhong made me lose so many beautiful things. It is fair that I give him three children who are not related to him by blood."

Hu Pingtao did not continue to argue on this issue.

He suddenly felt that Liu Xiaoe was also the type of person who was single-minded.

After pondering for a moment, he asked seriously: "Who do you think was responsible for this poisoning?"

Liu Xiao'e smiled miserably: "If you must ask this, I can only say that Cao Zhong is most likely to poison. I'm not sure whether he knows the inside story of the child. But he has eyes, so he must have seen the difference between Zhao Di and him.

The difference in appearance between us. That child doesn’t look like me, and he looks like an outsider at first glance.”

Ding Jian asked: "What about your second and third sons? Does Cao Zhong also have doubts about this?"

Liu Xiao'e shook her head: "The second and third children look like me, but luckily they didn't inherit my harelip. Because of this, Cao Zhong's attitude towards Zhao Di became worse and worse, and sometimes he wouldn't even give her food."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Hu Pingtao stood up from the chair and said to Liu Xiao'e: "You take good care of yourself. We will investigate first. If you think of anything, tell the head nurse and ask her to contact us."

Liu Xiao'e nodded silently.

…

After leaving the ward and returning to the car, Ding Jian watched Hu Pingtao start the engine and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Hu Pingtao had already thought about this problem when he went downstairs: "Go to the wholesale market."

Ding Jian said "Ah" in surprise: "Are you still going? Didn't you go there in the morning?"

Hu Pingtao explained: "I think the root of this crime should be over there. This crime is quite weird. Cao Zhong and Liu Xiao'e are both suspected of committing the crime. The two couples share the same bed and have different dreams. One wants to kill the other, but both

Treat the other person as an enemy."

Ding Jian asked: "Who do you think is more suspicious?"

"Does this need to be said? It must be Liu Xiao'e!" Hu Pingtao said: "She is very revengeful, but after listening to what she said in the ward just now, I kind of want to live with Cao Zhong for a long time.

means. After all, the longer it takes to wait until Cao Zhong knows the truth about the child, the greater the mental blow will be to him. So if I were Liu Xiao'e, I would definitely not let Cao Zhong die happily, and I would have to torture him well.

.”

"What I said is just a guess. On the other hand, Cao Zhong is also very resentful towards Liu Xiao'e. He wanted a son, but Liu Xiao'e gave him two daughters. Especially the eldest son is not his biological son, and Cao Zhong is also aware of this.

From this point of view, Cao Zhong is highly suspected of murder."

"In addition, there are those men who had an affair with Liu Xiao'e. I'm not sure if there are any of them who have true feelings for her, so our current investigation direction must be shifted."

"Finally, it's phosphorus poisoning..."

Hu Pingtao sighed: "This is the most troublesome. I don't understand why the murderer must choose this method of poisoning?"

Ding Jian curled his lips: "It seems that I won't be able to get off work on time tonight."

Hu Pingtao looked at him and smiled and said: "You are the translator, please accompany me to see the scene again! There is a mushroom hot pot restaurant next to the wholesale market. At worst, I will treat you tonight, make dried mushrooms on the hour, and cut ham into plates for you.

Eat enough."

…

The black and yellow cordon outside Cao's house is still there, and the door is closed.

Ding Jian followed him into the closed area, opened the door, and said as he walked: "We have checked this place repeatedly and there is nothing missing."

Hu Pingtao walked in front: "I know. In fact, according to the elimination method, one of Cao Zhong and Liu Xiao'e should be the murderer. But according to the current situation, this guess can basically be overturned. The three children of the Cao family can also be eliminated, so I

When I was in the hospital, I wondered if we had missed something during the investigation."

Just as he was talking, Ding Jian's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was the number of the Criminal Investigation Team's office.

Ding Jian just said a few words, and his expression suddenly became serious.

He reached out and tugged on the sleeves of Hu Pingtao's clothes and dragged him outside.

"The call came from Zhang Chao of our forensic team." After hanging up the phone, Ding Jian said seriously: "Zhang Chao is a little uncomfortable. Including him, the other two members of the forensic team are also the same. After they investigated the scene, they felt

Dizziness, diarrhea, and loss of appetite.”

Hu Pingtao reacted quickly: "You mean, the three of them were also poisoned?"

"This is a symptom of mild poisoning." Ding Jian explained: "I suspect there is something strange in Cao Zhong's home. There should be residual toxins, otherwise the people who inspected the scene would not be like this."

Hu Pingtao frowned: "Is it because their work intensity is too high?"

Ding Jian shook his head: "I don't think so. It seems it's still a problem in the house."

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment: "Let's do this! Let's go in first and open the doors and windows for ventilation. We are already here anyway, so let's take a look first before talking."

Pushing the door open again, Hu Pingtao was much more cautious than before.

He breathed slowly, trying to distinguish the various smells remaining in the air.

Ding Jian looked at his movements and said seriously: "I guess it's useless. It's been so long and the smell has dissipated long ago. Think about it, if there was such a strong smell, we would definitely have paid attention to it when we investigated before!

"

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly and scanned every corner of the room with vigilant eyes.

The house is small and the space is limited, so the two people quickly walked around it.

Hu Pingtao asked: "Have you found anything?"

Ding Jian shook his head: "No."

He then added: "I'm not a criminal investigator, I'm a forensic doctor, okay?"

Hu Pingtao smiled and pushed his shoulder: You kid, you do everything cheaply.

Ding Jian glanced at him proudly: "That's right! You are the captain, you are the one who is really in charge, right?"

Hu Pingtao put away his smile and said mysteriously: "I found a problem."

Ding Jian thought he was showing off and didn't care at all: "What?"

"Why are there no flies in the house?" Hu Pingtao's voice was not loud, but very clear.

"What did you say?" Ding Jian couldn't react for a while.

Hu Pingtao took a few steps forward and pointed to a puddle of vomit stains at his feet: "Look here, this is what Eucalyptus vomited after eating dumplings that night. We don't care who vomited it. The weather is like this now.

, and there is not even a fly at this temperature in the room, do you think it’s normal?”

After saying this, Ding Jian also woke up. He raised his hand to touch his forehead and nodded in surprise: "Yes! Why didn't I think of this?"

He then walked around the room, focusing on the vomit residue remaining on the floor.

"There are no mosquitoes in this room."

"And here, look, these flies and mosquitoes are all dead."

As he spoke, Ding Jian bent down, picked up a dead mosquito from the ground, and placed it in the middle of his palm.

Hu Pingtao looked carefully and found that the mosquito was complete, with its legs, feet and wings intact, and there were no traces of being pressed by gravity.

"It was not beaten to death."

As Ding Jian spoke, he pointed sideways at his feet: "If you look at these ones, it's the same. There are some over there, too."

Hu Pingtao looked around, reached out and patted Ding Jian: "Let's go, go out first."

The two came outside again, and Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Now it is basically certain that there must be some kind of toxic substance in Cao Zhong's house."

Ding Jian nodded repeatedly: "And it has no smell and is very concealable. It even kills people, let alone mosquitoes."

Suddenly there was a major breakthrough in the situation, and Hu Pingtao's mood also improved. He laughed loudly and said: "Remember this meal for now, and I will treat you another day. Now go back to the bureau to get the equipment, you have to make it again.

A comprehensive inspection.”

Ding Jian lamented: "Why is it always me who gets hurt... remember what you said! Treat me to double dinner another day."

…

More than an hour later, a second on-site inspection of the Cao family was launched.

The instrument index showed that the phosphine gas in the entire room from the entrance to the innermost side exceeded the standard.

Ding Jian did not dare to be careless. He wore professional protective clothing, walked around the house, came outside, and quickly gave a survey report to Hu Pingtao, who was waiting for news.

"No wonder Zhang Chao and the others feel uncomfortable, this room is full of poisonous gas!"

Hu Pingtao asked in confusion: "We just entered not long ago! Look, neither of us has responded yet!"

Ding Jian pointed to the open door: "When we entered before, Zhang Chao happened to call. As soon as I heard that, I quickly pulled you out. When I went in again, I opened the door and the window. I guess the poisonous gas dispersed at that time.

It's a lot. If you keep closing the doors and windows, we won't be in there for long, and you might have passed out after inhaling too much."
