The heavy rain didn't stop until six o'clock the next morning. Linxian County has been flooded with water. Looking around, there are many low-lying roads where a few households can pass a Zodiac. The first floors of many buildings were flooded. People rushed to the rooftop balcony to ask for help.
Due to the high location of Qiu Ruoshui's house, floodwater also penetrated from the stairwell on the first floor.
It seems that I can't go to work today and can only wait at home for the floods to recede.
The sewers on every street are overflowing with water. The manhole cover was thrown to the ground by the water that crisscrossed up and down. The water inside spurted out like a fountain. Agencies across the country are organizing rescue teams. Both the armed police and the public security dispatched assault boats and various types of hovercrafts.
As a coach in a fighting gym and a professional veteran, Chopin must take corresponding actions for this matter.
So he hurriedly called Liang Huan and asked him about the situation there.
Qiu Ruoshui and Wang Fei stayed nearby. Wang Fei's expression looked very strange.
Qiu Ruoshui thought that if Chopin participated in the rescue operation, then Wang Fei would definitely follow. After they left, she was the only one left in the family. What if... bah bah! Where in the world can there be so many possibilities? What are you thinking about?
Chopin's phone number hasn't been answered yet. Is Liang Huan's cell phone out of battery? Still worried about being harassed, I deliberately turned off my phone.
Qiu Ruoshui didn't dare to think further. I was worried about Liang Huan's safety.
Wang Fei said: "Master, has Liang Huan turned off her phone?"
Chopin said: "No, no one answered the call."
"Then, why don't you call Xu Shasha and ask about the situation. She must know what Liang Huan and Lan Xi are doing."
Wang Fei couldn't hold it in any longer, so he leaned over and whispered to Chopin.
Qiu Ruoshui was surprised, pulled up a chair and sat down, staring at the master and apprentice intently, and said: "Brother Wang means that he has a crush on Lan Xi's assistant Xu Shasha? That's not true. You like my secretary Xiaolan A girl’s.”
Wang Fei: "It's impossible. How could I like your secretary, Miss Xiaolan?"
Speaking of Xiaolan, Qiu Ruoshui slapped her thigh and said, "By the way, I don't know how Xiaolan is doing in the hospital. I'll call and ask right away. Wait a moment, both of you. Even if Xiaolan doesn't know Liang Huan's situation, smart Meng Yuxi must know."
Chopin continued to call Liang Huan, but no one answered the call.
She had no choice but to rush to Qiu Ruoshui, who was making a phone call at the window, spreading her hands and smiling bitterly.
Qiu Ruoshui opened all the windows in the living room to let the fresh natural wind blow in from the outside.
Sitting on the sofa, Chopin couldn't help but open his mouth and take a big breath of fresh air. But at this moment, he smelled a pungent odor. It smells like a rotting corpse. Could it be that a mouse or other animal died nearby? Otherwise, where does this rancid smell come from? Thinking of this, my mind couldn't help but pound.
"Master, what does this smell like?"
Wang Fei also smelled it. asked Chopin, looking at him in surprise.
Chopin said nothing. His nose is sharp. When he was a soldier in the army, his comrades said he had a dog nose.
He was judging the direction of the wind and the direction from which the putrid smell was coming. Then slowly walked towards the window.
Qiu Ruoshui also smelled it. But she thought there might be a mouse or a small animal like a cat or dog that died nearby.
"It stinks so much. Where does the stink come from?"
Qiu Ruoshui said as she hung up the phone and reached out to close the window.
Chopin pulled her away, then leaned over the window edge to carefully identify the source of the putrid smell.
Wang Fei said: "Mr. Qiu, are Miss Xiaolan okay?"
Qiu Ruoshui came to the sofa and sat down, took a cigarette and lit it, and said: "It's okay, it's okay. It's just that there is water in the hospital hall. The water is not deep, so don't worry."
"So, where is Meng Yuxi. Is she okay?"
Qiu Ruoshui stared at him: "Why, you have a big appetite. You have Xu Shasha in your heart, and you are still thinking about Meng Yuxi. I remind you, Meng Yuxi is not an ordinary person. You can't control it with your ability. Give up that worry. Bar."
Just as Wang Fei was explaining, Chopin suddenly stretched out a hand towards him. Wang Fei immediately shut up and stopped talking. He walked quickly towards the window. Qiu Ruoshui watched helplessly, not understanding the meaning of Chopin's action.
"Master, what's going on? We've determined the source of the rancid smell."
Chopin nodded, and then came back to Qiu Ruoshui to inquire about the situation.
Qiu Ruoshui said in surprise: "What are you talking about? The rotten smell came from my neighbor's house. How is that possible?"
Chopin said: "Let me ask you something. One night not long ago, did the police come to the door and take him away. Then he was released again the next day. That person knew about Zhao Xiangbei's situation."
Qiu Ruoshui was even more confused, looking at Chopin who was facing a formidable enemy: "Yes, what's the problem? At least he has nothing to do with Xu Shasha's poisoning. Don't forget that he is my neighbor. Although he and I I’m not familiar with him, I’ve only met him a few times, but I believe he’s not a bad person.”
Chopin said: "I know you don't believe that your neighbor is a bad person. What if he is killed by a bad person?"
Qiu Ruoshui was frightened: "What are you talking about? Do you suspect that my neighbor was killed? How is that possible? When I came back from get off work last Sunday, I met him on the street. He was in good spirits at that time and was still Call me Mr. Qiu."
Chopin didn't want to talk too much nonsense to Qiu Ruoshui, so he decided to go to Qiu Ruoshui's neighbor's house immediately to see the situation.
Wang Fei agreed with his master's opinion and immediately went downstairs with him.
Qiu Ruoshui quickly put on her boots and chased after him.
When we came downstairs, the rancid smell was even worse. Some citizens have already waded through the water to the downstairs of Qiu Ruoshui's neighbor's house and looked up. Apparently the rancid smell came from the living room on the second floor. Qiu Ruoshui also smelled it. So he followed Chopin and Wang Fei and hurried to the neighbor's house.
She has found out clearly that the single male neighbor next door is named Zhao Youting. It turned out that he was from the same village as Zhao Xiangbei. Later, he moved to the city with his parents. My parents made a lot of money from their business ten years ago, so they built this house here. The house is fully decorated, making it a luxurious housewarming occasion. But the next year, his parents suddenly died in a car accident. So Zhao Youting became the only person in this family. He has no brothers or sisters, and he does not usually interact with his classmates or relatives. Relying on the money left to him by his parents, he stayed at home and had nothing to do every day, instead of going out to find a job and find a girlfriend to continue the family lineage of the Zhao family.
A man like him seems to be a nice person on the surface, but there must be something wrong with his thinking.
Qiu Ruoshui was thinking about whether her neighbor Zhao Youting might have done something immoral and offended someone.
I hope he is fine, if he is really killed, or if he kills someone and escapes. Then she won't dare to come back here again.
He waded through the water and came to the downstairs of Zhao Youting's house. Chopin once again identified the source of the rancid smell.
It was indeed coming from the second floor window of Zhao Youting's house. So why don't you open that door and take a look?
When I think so. Chopin was no longer calm.
It's better to call the police and wait until the police arrive.
So Chopin reached into his pocket for his cell phone. It turned out that the phone was left on the sofa in Qiu Ruoshui's living room.
Wang Fei said: "Master, use my mobile phone. I will help you dial whoever you want to call."
Chopin said: "Call 110."
Wang Fei: "Ah, Master, are you sure you want to call the police now?"
Qiu Ruoshui: "I'll do it. I'm familiar with this area. I can better explain the situation to the police."
Chopin said: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Qiu."
Qiu Ruoshui smiled and said nothing, took out her mobile phone and dialed 110.
Heavy rains have caused severe flooding in the city. All the breakfast shops on the street were closed. I looked all the way and no one was open. It seems that I made breakfast myself when I went back. Forget it for now, I’m not hungry anyway. Qiu Ruoshui remained silent after calling the police.
The flood in the sewers is gradually subsiding. The water in the streets began to pour into the sewers. A mouse screamed and rushed into the sewer with the current, and was silent for an instant.
A group of gorgeous clouds rose in the eastern sky. The sun's rays projected from the clouds, illuminating every corner of Linxian County. The sky looks particularly blue after the heavy rain. It was like a large dark blue mirror shrouding the sky above Linxian City.
After receiving the report, the police from Chengguan Police Station immediately organized people to rush over.
The two police officers who came were the same male and female police officers we saw last time. They were the two people who took Zhao Youting away that night.
Qiu Ruoshui recognized them from afar. So he went over and told Chopin quietly.
Chopin said: "Are you sure it was these two policemen who took your neighbor away that night? You're not wrong, right?"
Qiu Ruoshui: "Yes, I saw clearly that night that they took away my neighbor Zhao Youting."
Chopin said: "Then let me tell you a secret. That male policeman is my high school classmate Chen Li."
Qiu Ruoshui was surprised: "Ah, Master Xiao, did I hear you right? That man is actually your high school classmate."
Chopin: "I can't lie to anyone, Mr. Qiu."
Qiu Ruoshui winked at him and said, "Okay, I'll trust you once."
Yes, Chopin did not lie to her. The tall male policeman is indeed his classmate Chen Li.
The female police officer’s name is Fan Xiaoye. In the eyes of all the police officers at Chengguan Police Station, she is a rare and precious piece of jade.
Chen Li recognized Chopin and immediately came up to shake hands with him.
Chopin pulled him aside and explained the situation. So Chen Li raised his head and looked at the upstairs window of Zhao Youting's house. The last time I came over to interview the head of the household, he was in the living room on the second floor. The situation at that time was that Zhao Youting reported that his Yuanyuan was missing.
Yuanyuan was just a dog he raised. Could it be that the head of the household couldn't get his Yuanyuan back, and then his Yuanyuan died again? Where else would such a disgusting rancid smell come from?
Fan Xiaoye knew Qiu Ruoshui and approached her to ask about the situation.
Qiu Ruoshui didn't dare to hide anything, so she told her what happened to her neighbor a week ago.
So Fan Xiaoye took out his mobile phone and called Zhao Youting. The last time I took him to the police station to take notes, I had already written down Zhao Youting's phone number. I called once on the way here. But Zhao Youting's mobile phone was turned off.
Chen Li asked: "Have you gotten through it yet?"
Fan Xiaoye shook his head: "It's better to turn off the phone."
Chen Li stopped asking, picked up his phone and started taking pictures. First, take a photo of the situation in front of Zhao Youting's house, and then take out the lockpicking tools and open the iron door. Fan Xiaoye rushed in first.
"Old classmate, please help me guard this door. No one is allowed in. I will treat you to dinner when you are free."
Chen Li called Chopin over and gave him instructions. Chopin said there was no problem.
Wang Fei said: "Master, do you need me to do anything?"
Chopin ran to the door and stood there, saying, "Go get something to eat."
"Okay." Wang Fei agreed and left.
Qiu Ruoshui thought it would be better to go home and cook something to eat and send it over. What if Wang Fei can't buy anything to eat? Master Chopin and his disciples are going to be hungry. So he immediately turned around and went home.
Chopin said: "Mr. Qiu, please charge my cell phone. It may be out of battery."
Qiu Ruoshui: "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
