Looking at Chen Xiaohong who was full of confidence, Hu Pingtao smiled lightly.

This woman is very interesting, and Shan Wenfei is also very interesting... Of course, this is not a joke. They live hard, are simple and happy, and are full of hope for the sunshine and the future.

Xing Le said in surprise: "You are so powerful, you can even calculate this clearly."

In response to the thick-lined policewoman's remarks, Hu Pingtao could only shake his head angrily and funnyly: "You are wrong. This is not a calculation. Xiao Chen has said before that he wants to buy a house. The current housing prices are so high.

Their income cannot yet be supported by their families. If they don't plan carefully, they may have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."

"Besides, arranging time is also part of life. Xiao Chen and Xiao Dan are not married yet, but they live together and are already a couple. It can be seen that Shan Wenfei is a responsible man and wants to

She has a stable family, so he works hard to earn money every day. Xiao Chen is not bad here, if she is the kind of woman who spends the day and night outside, Shan Wenfei will not be willing to hand over his monthly salary to her. "

"This is true love between two people."

The conversation ends here.

…

After leaving the door and getting in the car, Xing Le looked at Hu Pingtao, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to him. His expression was much more relaxed than before, and the eyes he looked at him were also quite soft, revealing deep curiosity.

"Hu...Brother Hu, why did you only talk to Chen Xiaohong for less than twenty minutes and then left?"

Xing Le felt that this conversation was far less detailed than with other people during the day.

"Because there were no clues from Chen Xiaohong, Shan Wenfei also clarified the relationship between him and Bai Yueping." Hu Pingtao pressed the window open button and felt the cool night wind blowing in his face: "Chen Xiaohong is a shrewd person.

She is a woman, and although her words are unremarkable, they provide enough circumstantial evidence for Shan Wenfei's innocence."

Xing Le held the steering wheel with both hands and did not start the engine. She asked doubtfully: "The bureau contacted Chen Xiaohong last night and informed her of the appointment today. There was a whole night. Will she and Shan Wenfei advance in advance?"

Collusive confession?”

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Collusion is certain, after all, we are an unmarried couple. But I never regarded Shan Wenfei as a suspect from the beginning, so no matter whether he and Chen Xiaohong are close or not, I have no idea about this case.

The investigation has not had much impact.”

"Why?" The question in Xing Le's mind deepened: "How are you sure that Shan Wenfei is not suspected of committing the crime?"

"Because he didn't have time to commit the crime." Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "Chen Xiaohong's statement also confirms this. Her focus is different from mine. What she values ​​​​is income, which is the salary Shan Wenfei gives her every month.

"It is true that you can earn over 10,000 yuan by delivering food, but high income also requires high effort. If you are not familiar with the streets and alleys of this city, and if you don't race against time, even if you earn more than 10,000 yuan, it will be a problem to make ends meet."

"Do you still remember the news from half a year ago? In order to experience life, a section chief in the Imperial City became a delivery boy. At the end of the day, he only delivered less than ten orders, which was not even enough for the day's meals."

"Whether what Chen Xiaohong said is true or false, you only need to make a call to the food delivery company to know. Shan Wenfei's monthly income is recorded in the computer. You can tell it by checking it out. No one can cheat."

"So Shan Wenfei doesn't have a woman outside, and there is no intersection between him and Bai Yueping."

"Don't be stunned, drive, and go to Cao Lijun's place now."

…

The Zhiyan Community is located in the southern suburbs. The houses here have uniform specifications and are all six-story elevator rooms. They were houses jointly funded by the unit and employees many years ago and built in conjunction with developers.

This kind of house has two biggest features: first, the purchase price is low, and second, the living area is large.

Cao Lijun had received a call before and knew that people from the police station were coming. He had been waiting at home early, welcomed Hu Pingtao and Xing Le in, and then ordered the nanny Yang Fang to bring tea.

Hu Pingtao took a rough look at the house, which was about 120 square meters in area. Cao Lijun and Bai Yueping had no children, so the couple lived in a very empty house, and it even felt like a haunted house.

Cao Lijun took Hu Pingtao to look around. He turned on the wall lamp and said, "This is the study, where I usually work."

The study room is large, with combined bookcases placed against the wall. There is a computer desk in the center, a simple blackboard facing south, and a drawing table on the side. Pencils, compasses, triangles, and other commonly used measuring tools are scattered in the storage slots.

Most of the books in the cabinet are related to plants, and there are also heavy historical books - "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Thirteen Years of Wanli" and "General History of China".

There are many plant specimens in the vertical cabinet facing east, as well as some bottles and jars.

The floor is clean and the desk is spotless.

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but smile and said: "Teacher Cao, you are very good at cleaning housework!"

Cao Lijun smiled: "It's all thanks to Sister Fang. I'm a grown man and I won't do this."

Hu Pingtao grasped this sentence keenly and asked: "So, you never do housework?"

"It's not that I don't do it, it's just that I rarely do it." Cao Lijun explained: "I used to do a lot, but then I was busy at work, so I did less. Before Yueping got married, she was pampered in her house. She cooked a few times occasionally, but I usually cooked.

Washing dishes... there's nothing I can do about it, she doesn't want to touch the water with her fingers."

Hu Pingtao felt funny in his heart - it seemed that the conflict between the couple was not just a day or two, it was now like this. Cao Lijun still took the opportunity to attack and defend Bai Yueping in front of outsiders.

This also proved that Cao Lijun had a strong opinion of Bai Yueping and was not as tolerant as he said in the hospital courtyard that night.

"This is the bedroom." Cao Lijun took Hu Pingtao and Xing Le to the master bedroom: "Yue Ping and I have been separated for many years. We don't usually sleep together, so I gave this room to her."

It's a big house, and the beds and bedding are quite stylish.

"This room is mine." Cao Lijun led them into the second bedroom: "This room is smaller, but it's enough."

Next is another room: "This was originally a storage room. Later I threw away the useless things that should be thrown away and sold the ones that should be sold. After they were vacated, I gave them to Sister Fang to live in. Someone has to clean up this house, otherwise life will be very difficult.

It’s a problem.”

The nanny Yang Fang seems to be about the same age as Cao Lijun. She is quite obese, weighing more than 80 kilograms by visual inspection. She is wearing a set of light pink home clothes. She looks very clean and always has a smile on her face.

Hu Pingtao took the initiative to extend his right hand: "Hello."

Yang Fang obviously did not expect that Hu Pingtao would take the initiative to shake hands with her. She was a little unable to react. It took a full two seconds before she shook hands, and responded with an embarrassed smile: "Hello, hello."

After a brief greeting, Hu Pingtao and Xing Le came to the living room and sat down face to face with Cao Lijun.

"What time do you usually get up in the morning? What time do you leave for work?"

"How is the management of this community?"

"When was this house built? Please show me the property certificate."

"When did you learn to drive, and how long have you been driving?"

"Sister Fang...hehe, let me call you that too! What kind of food does Teacher Cao usually like to eat? Only you have the right to say this."

There were a lot of random questions raised, and there were always more than a dozen.

Xing Le was in charge of taking notes. When she accompanied Hu Pingtao out of the bureau in the morning, she never thought about helping to take notes. However, what she heard from Chen Xiaohong before made her greatly inspired, and her eyes suddenly became clear.

Hu Pingtao also changed his view, so he now took the initiative to record it.

Doubts arose in her mind at the same time.

The questions Hu Pingtao raised had nothing to do with the case. They felt like ordinary chatting about home affairs, and even the nanny Yang Fang, who had nothing to do with the case itself, became the target of his questions.

Cao Lijun's answer was very stereotyped, which was in line with his character as a scholar engaged in research.

Nanny Yang Fang is much more cheerful.

"Teacher Cao likes to eat pig head meat, and he likes to eat braised food at the sixth shop from the market to the east. There are also braised noodles and braised intestines. Teacher Cao will buy them back every now and then for meals. I also try to give them

He made it at home a few times, but Teacher Cao said that what I did was not as good as that one."

Hu Pingtao seemed to be a man of this kind. He nodded frequently: "I also like braised pork head meat, especially when eaten with sesame cakes. It tastes really good."

Speaking of his favorite food, Cao Lijun showed a smile on his rigid face: "I'll treat you to a taste some other time."

His expression darkened immediately and he sighed: "But Yue Ping doesn't like this. She is disgusted with me eating pig head meat, especially braised intestines, saying it... smells bad."

Hu Pingtao advised: "This is normal. Many women don't like dishes made from pig intestines...it has a strong taste."

The atmosphere was a little cold, and the nanny Yang Fang intervened at the right time: "I know about this. Teacher Bai... If you want to say, Teacher Bai is a little too much towards Teacher Cao. Last time I bought braised intestines, and when I got home, I

When Teacher Bai saw it, he grabbed it and threw it in the trash can. Later, Teacher Cao went to the braised food restaurant to buy it and brought it back. Because he bought it, Teacher Bai didn't dare to grab it or throw it away, but she wouldn't let the food be served.

He also asked Teacher Cao to go to the kitchen and eat by himself."

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

Cao Lijun looked a little embarrassed: "...I like it, but Yue Ping doesn't like it. I can only eat in the kitchen, or eat out by myself. Later, we separated, and we were too lazy to cook at home, sometimes for convenience.

, I took Sister Fang with me to eat at the restaurant next to the vegetable market behind the community, and bought some braised food along the way."

Hu Pingtao nodded sympathetically: "Actually, I think so! Since it's already like this, procrastinating is not an option. Divorce when it's time to divorce. It's better for everyone if we separate."

Xing Le was stunned.

She secretly glanced at Hu Pingtao, found that he also turned to her, and blinked quickly.

Nanny Yang Fang agrees with this statement: "I have advised Teacher Cao so long ago. It's not that Teacher Bai is not good, but they don't look like a couple at all. Even me, an outsider, feels that the atmosphere is wrong when I stay at home.

Not to mention sleeping, the two of them don't even eat together. During holidays, they barely make do in front of the old man. After the reunion dinner, they go their separate ways and rarely speak."

"I have always advised Teacher Cao that you should just separate. But if you want to be together, it is best to have a child."

Yang Fang spoke quickly, and Cao Lijun looked at her helplessly: "Sister Fang, I told you that Yueping doesn't want to have a baby, and there is nothing I can do about it. But I have considered adopting one if it doesn't work out."

"Why do you want to adopt?" Nanny Yang Fang was a little anxious: "After all, the adopted child is not as good as your own. Teacher Cao, how old are you! You are young and strong, why do you need to adopt children from outside? Besides,

When people grow up, they have ideas. When the time comes, not only will they not appreciate it, but they will also say that you are not related to them by blood. Isn't this the case in many TV programs? When adopted children grow up, they seek relatives and fall out with their adoptive parents.

"

"There are some things you don't know." Cao Lijun thought she was annoying and raised his hand and waved: "Besides, this is just a temporary idea. Whether it can be done depends on the situation."

He didn't seem to want the nanny Yang Fang to participate in the conversation: "Sister Fang, we are talking about something, you can go about your business!"
