And here, it’s very dark. I remember that the kitchen of Cao Zhong’s family was opposite, and it was very smoky from cooking and cooking every day. Some of the smoke jumped over, blackening the walls and roof here.”

Hu Pingtao looked solemn and nodded slightly: "The two sides are connected to each other. There are so many and big ventilation holes, no wonder something happened."

Ding Jian continued: "The cause of the poisonous gas should be rain. The day before the outbreak, there was a heavy rain. Although the roof of the granary could keep out the rain, the environment inside was very humid. In order to prevent insects, Li Jinrong placed aluminum phosphide

It's everywhere, causing the released phosphine gas to seriously exceed the standard."

"The two sides were not sealed, and the poisonous gas spread, which caused Cao Zhong's whole family to be poisoned."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately frowned: "That's not right... The house Cao Zhong rented was very small, with a front shop and a back room. It was just such a big place. Logically speaking, five people were poisoned almost at the same time. Why was it the child who died?

?」

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment: "I remember that the bedroom of Cao Zhong's family was at the end. The three children slept on bunk beds, and his eldest daughter slept on a plank bed attached to the side. As for him and Liu Xiao'e, they said they slept in an outhouse, but in fact they did.

A curtain was hung between the three children."

Ding Jian said: "Let's go over and have a look."

Hu Pingtao remembered correctly, the layout of Cao Zhong's family was exactly the same as what he said.

The bunk beds were placed against the wall, almost touching the holes connected with the granary.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao felt a little heavy: "Cao Zhong's youngest son and second daughter are sleeping in the upper bed. There is no ventilation here at all, and the poisonous gas from the warehouse is poured directly here... The two children are equivalent to direct inhalation, so they are poisoned.

The biggest impact."

Ding Jian looked serious: "When the ambulance arrived, his son was already dead. I saw the records from the hospital, and the doctor who was on the bus also said that the child was no longer worth saving."

Hu Pingtao sighed: "I thought too much before. I thought this case was very complicated and might involve multiple people. Now it seems that it should be Li Jinrong's problem. He committed a negligent discharge of dangerous substances.

crime."

Ding Jian said: "Looking at Li Jinrong's reaction before, I'm afraid even he himself didn't realize how dangerous it is."

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Besides, the one he used was not a real "grain insect net" at all, but an out-and-out aluminum phosphide. His safety awareness is too poor... No, he probably has no safety awareness at all.

. He dares to use anything to make money. If we follow his clues, we can catch several people."

Ding Jian walked back and forth in the room and suddenly asked, "What are you going to do about Liu Xiao'e and Cao Zhong?"

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes: "Are you referring to the problem between Liu Xiao'e and other men?"

Ding Jian nodded: "She is no different from selling out. Besides, cheating during marriage... Although I sympathize with her experience, Liu Xiao'e will still be upset if Cao Zhong sends the petition to the court."

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "This is a matter between the two of them. To be honest, I really don't want to deal with this matter. To be fair, I am actually on Liu Xiao'e's side."

Ding Jian said: "Then let's keep things official! Just talk about it, let's not get involved in anything else."

Hu Pingtao agreed.

Just when he was about to turn around and walk out, Ding Jian stopped him.

"Seriously, when will you treat me to that meal?"

"Let's have the weekend!" Hu Pingtao never thought about defaulting on the bill: "Call your wife, let's go together as a family."

…

Hu Pingtao means what he says.

On Saturday, Su Xiaolin got up early, made breakfast, accompanied her children to do their homework, and sent her children and Li Jinglan out. Then she took a long breath, ran to the room in three steps, and turned into a child.

I put on very delicate makeup and picked out a dress I liked.

Usually dinner appointments are in the afternoon, but this law does not work for Amelia Su. She likes shopping, so there are two situations when it comes to "making appointments with friends."

If they are ordinary friends, then it is really a dinner date.

If the relationship is very close, then make an appointment from noon and have other activities after lunch, such as shopping, watching movies, playing cards...

Ding Jian is Hu Pingtao's colleague, and his wife Yin Li is Su Xiaolin's best friend. The relationship is self-evident.

There was a movie at three o'clock in the afternoon, so Hu Pingtao made an appointment at the restaurant at 11:30 noon. He got up in the morning and went for a morning run as usual. Later, Li Jinglan took the children to Su Mu's place, and he sat on the sofa and read the news on his mobile phone.

By the way, I urge Amelia Su to hurry up.

"Why are you urging me? Don't you know that women are the slowest when going out?" Su Xiaolin said, but her hands moved very quickly.

Hu Pingtao was helpless about this. After getting married, he finally realized what "traditional Chinese painting" is.

This is a word that spread from the senior class when he was in college - there are many beauties in art colleges, especially those in the dance and music departments. It is said that they get up at 6:30 in the morning, of course to practice. Those in the dance department

Physical training, Department of Music, Bel Canto major

I have to get up early to do my job. But because they are all girls, they usually take a long time to put on makeup, especially the "makeup" in the morning, which must be done very carefully. Over time, it was jokingly called "Chinese painting" by the art department, specifically referring to the amount of makeup that must be done.

Second rendering of "Flowers and Birds".

Sighing, Hu Pingtao subconsciously reached into his pocket to touch the cigarette case. At this time, the cell phone beside him rang.

It's Ding Jian's number.

As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard his angrily shouting from the other end of the phone: "Have you come out yet?"

Hu Pingtao knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and quickly replied: "Not yet! What's wrong?"

"You may not be able to eat today. Come to my place quickly." Ding Jian's voice was fierce and full of anger.

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "What happened?"

"I can't explain a word or two on the phone. You can talk about it after you come here first!"

Ding Jian then hung up the phone.

Su Xiaolin heard that his tone when answering the phone was wrong, and she quickly ran out of the room and asked, "Who is calling?"

"The fat man called me. He said he couldn't eat. Something happened over there. Let me go there now." Hu Pingtao said concisely: "How about you go to mom's place later, and I'll go to the fat man's place."

Let’s see what’s going on.”

Su Xiaolin pursed her lips, looked unhappy, and complained listlessly: "I made an appointment with Yin Li to go to the mall after the movie, but now it's all in vain."

Hu Pingtao comforted: "Forget it, I guess Fatty is in trouble, otherwise he would have said anything with his playful temperament! Besides, I'm the one who invited me for today's meal, let alone him.

Reason for declining."

Su Xiaolin understands the truth. In fact, she just talks and complains: "Okay! Then let's go there quickly."

…

Ding Jian got married in Yin Li's house. Although he was rich, several houses under his name were rented out. Ding Jian used to live in an old house, a welfare house in his father's work unit. It was only more than fifty years old.

Square meters, very small. The old couple will buy another one after they retire.

They bought a big apartment and wanted to ask Ding Jian to live together, but Ding Jian refused to say anything. The old couple had no choice but to give up their old house for him. Ding Jian is usually very filial, as long as he is Normally after get off work, I would go to my parents' place to see them before coming back.

Yin Li's house is more than 80 square meters, and it is also a house owned by her work unit. The unit of the funeral home sounds scary, but in fact the benefits and benefits are very good. Before she got married, she had taken a fancy to a house in Nanshi District with a price of 120 yuan.

More than ten square meters, this is being built

, it was an off-plan house. Ding Jian originally planned to buy it and move there later, but he didn’t expect that the real estate market turned sluggish and the developer’s capital chain broke. The construction of the house there stopped halfway, which scared Ding Jian to the point where he never dared to build an off-plan house again.

If you have thoughts, you can only find a suitable existing house.

However, Yin Li was pregnant again. Although she had already bought the existing house she was looking for, she couldn't move there for a while, so she could only live in the old house temporarily until she gave birth to the child.

Yin Li's house is located in an old community. It was built by a machine tool factory in the early years. Later, the machine tool factory was disbanded and merged with the Heavy Industry Group. All the old houses here were transferred to the funeral parlor. Some old employees sold their houses and went out to buy new ones.

, so now there are many people in the community, including people from work and outside.

Hu Pingtao has been to this place before. Strictly speaking, the houses here are good, with convenient transportation, food markets, hospitals, and schools. It is considered a very good hotspot, and the housing prices are also high.

The only headache is parking.

Speaking of which, the planning of this community was ahead of the curve, and it actually had an underground parking lot. With this vision alone, the designer's concept was very advanced. However, there are underground parking lots, and the designer also thought that some residents might have it.

It is a family car, but I never expected that the parking space originally reserved for the leaders of the unit would now be completely crowded.

In everyone's eyes, the underground parking lot is just a decoration - there are a total of twelve buildings, housing hundreds of homes, but there are only fifty parking spaces in the underground parking lot.

But it's not bad. In the past, most of the fuel used by urban residents for cooking was briquettes, so every household had to have a coal shed. The community designers placed the coal shed underground, together with the parking lot, separated by a low wall.

...Because of this, the wall and coal shed were demolished during the reconstruction and expansion, and the parking spaces were suddenly expanded to more than 100.

Despite this, it still cannot meet the needs of all residents in the community. According to regulations, parking is not allowed inside the community, so many people can only park their cars outside.

There is only one exit from the underground parking lot.

When Hu Pingtao arrived, he walked down the ramp. Before he saw anyone, he saw a "Volvo" parked at the exit of the slope directly below.

A group of people were gathering there and quarreling.

Ding Jian and Yin Li stand on the left.

Ding Jian looked a little strange. He covered his ears with his left hand and had a somewhat painful expression on his face.

Yin Li was beside him, holding his shoulders tightly with one hand and pointing to the other side with the other, cursing.

"Is it reasonable for you to stop and block the intersection? Are you still going to hit someone?"

Opposite were a man and a woman, who looked to be in their thirties. The man was wearing trousers and a shirt. He was about five centimeters taller than Ding Jian and had a burly figure. He was glaring at Ding Jian condescendingly. The woman stood next to the man.

Wearing a light yellow floral dress and a pair of eyes, she was scolding Yin Li.
