The bathhouse is divided into two parts: inside and outside:

Outside is the shower area and back rubbing area.

Inside is the bath. There are three baths, the first is a large pool, the middle is a relatively small pool, the innermost small pool is covered with wooden boards, there are some gaps between several wooden boards, some people with athlete's foot sit on the wooden board and burn their feet with towels, and a few elderly people lie on the wooden board to sleep, one of them snores like thunder.

Three pools, the further inside, the higher the water temperature.

The seven of them chose the first pool, and when they just put their feet in the water, they quickly retracted their feet because the water was too hot.

But seeing more than a dozen people lying in the pool, he gritted his teeth and slowly went down to the water, first put his feet, then his legs, and after slowly getting used to it, he submerged his whole body in the water, spit out a few breaths, and his whole body became comfortable.

The body is completely relaxed, but the brain is still thinking about the case

Xiao Luhan moved to Zhao Zimeng's side.

Zhao Zimeng knew that Xiao Luhan had something to say: "Xiao Luhan, what do you want to say?" ”

"Captain, the first wall should be built later." Xiao Luhan only said a beginning.

"The purpose of building the first wall is obviously to hide the corpse," Ling Hu Yunfei moved in front of Zhao Zimeng and Xiao Luhan, who was also thinking about the case, "This wall is likely to be built by the murderer." Xiao Luhan, do you mean that? ”

"That's what I mean, the south side of that wing house is with doors and windows, and the tenants who live in it should know where the connection between the wall and the doors and windows is - a wall is at least as thick as a brick, and suddenly there is an extra wall, which should be visible, especially the people of Che Huating's family, who also lived at No. 157 for a while."

Zhao Zimeng already knew what Xiao Luhan wanted to say next: "You want to find out when that wall was added, isn't that so?" ”

"Captain, you're thinking about this too! If we can figure out this question, we can know the approximate time when the deceased was killed, and then look for new clues based on this. ”

"And-" Ling Hu Yunfei sat up suddenly, "Zimeng, there are only bricks in the yard, no lime and cement, lime and cement must have been transported into No. 157 by the murderer, the area of that wall is at least fifteen or sixteen square meters, the amount of cement is relatively large, according to the thickness of the lime layer, the amount of lime should also be relatively large, and the lime and cement are transported into No. 157, it is not as simple as carrying a leather bag, and the movement should be relatively large." ”

"Very good, let's find a neighbor to investigate carefully, maybe we can find a little clue."

After coming up from the bath, Director Gu knocked everyone on the back once, and each knock took about five minutes. Zhao Zimeng has grown so big and has never enjoyed this kind of treatment, and everyone said that it was very comfortable. Everyone really didn't see that Director Gu still had this set of unique skills.

Section Chief Min jokingly said: "I talked about the light of comrades, and I have never enjoyed this kind of treatment since I was a child." ”

After listening to Director Gu's following words, everyone didn't think it was strange.

"My old father is ninety-one years old this year, his body is still very strong, his spirit is not lost to that of young people, and he speaks like a bell, do you know what the reason is?"

"Director Gu, you tell us about it."

"I insist on knocking my father's back every day for 365 days a year, and I have to knock for 15 minutes each time, not only my father's health is good, but my health is also very good, and this is completely because I knocked his back."

Now, how many people can take such good care of their parents? I'm afraid it's hard to find, knock on the back for your parents, it's not difficult, you should be a scene, make a show, it's very easy, but if it's spring, summer, autumn and winter, all year round, knock on the back for your parents every day, it's not a real filial son, you can't do it!

The six of them were in awe.

"Old Gu, you lie down, I'll knock it on you." Zhao Zimeng sat up from the recliner and walked to Director Gu. picked up a bath towel and covered Director Gu's body.

"Captain Zhao, you don't know how to knock, don't knock my old bones apart." Director Gu joked, "When I was a child, my health has always been bad - often sick, my father is a Chinese medicine doctor, for as long as I can remember, he knocked and rubbed me at the old man's house, and my mother died early, all relying on my father to take care of me." Speaking of this, Director Gu had some tears in his eyes.

Director Gu's next words moved the comrades even more: "You are engaged in criminal investigation work, as soon as you take over the case, you can't stop non-stop, you have to take it easy, your body is the capital of the revolution!" ”

This is probably the main reason why Director Gu led the comrades to take a bath and knock everyone on the back! He's such a hot and cold guy!

Director Gu, who doesn't look amazing, suddenly has a much taller image in everyone's minds.

Originally, everyone was going to lie down for a while, because of the new direction of criminal investigation, everyone couldn't lie down, and after the sweat on their bodies dried, everyone put on their clothes and left.

The seven of them went directly to Che Huating's house. Regarding that very special wall, Che Huating once said "I don't have any impression" and "I don't particularly care" and the like, but Zhao Zimeng felt that he still had to talk to him again, after all, he was the owner of the house, and he should have the most say on this issue.

Che Huating's home is in the East Courtyard (No. 157 is considered the West Courtyard), after Che Huating moved out of No. 157 Courtyard, he and his eldest brother lived under one roof, and Che Boss originally lived in five main houses; Two wings – If you compare them to today's standards, each wing can be divided into two rooms.

Therefore, Che Boss vacated two main houses and a west wing room for Che Huating to live in, and Che Huating divided this wing into two rooms. After the accident on No. 157, Che Huating vacated the West Wing for Qin Zuomei's family to live temporarily.

Qin Zuomei did not stay at Che Huating's house, and last night, Qin Zuomei temporarily decided to spend a few nights in a hostel near the Ministry of People's Armed Forces.

When I went to Che's house, there was another purpose, which was to see if the car boss had come back.

The conversation took place in the West Wing.

When meeting Che Huating, the first thing Zhao Zimeng said was: "Has your eldest brother come back?" ”

"Just came back—just half an hour ago, just when I came back from my mother's house, my eldest brother was talking to my mother?"

"Very well, please call him over and let's talk together."

"Okay. Wait a moment. ”

Che Huating instructed his wife to make tea, and then went to the west wing.

Since Che Huating moved in with his brother, he built a courtyard wall in the middle of the courtyard. Chinese have the habit of drawing the ground as a prison, and even family affection cannot resolve the high wall built in the heart, which should be of the same nature as the lion and tiger using urine to determine the sphere of influence.

Che Huating's wife brought a teacup and a pack of cigarettes. She was a woman of few words, and after putting the teacup next to everyone, she withdrew.

"Sister-in-law, please wait a minute." Zhao Zimeng stopped the woman.

The woman reflexively entered the door—but stood in the doorway.

"Sister-in-law, what do we call you?"

"My maiden name is Cui, and my name is Cui Qiaoqin."

"Sister-in-law, please sit down, we want to ask you a few questions."

The woman sat very stiffly leaning over a chair.

"Sister-in-law, the side room where the accident happened, that wall, in your impression, how many walls are there?"

"I'm not impressed."

"Didn't you live at 157 for a while?"

"We only lived here for a little over a year before we moved here."

"Why move out?" Same issue.

"The house was not clean, I slept there and had nightmares, and there was something wrong with my body - I was sick all day long, and I couldn't keep up my spirits. Before, I never had nightmares. Again, the same answer.

"We heard that house 157 was renovated."

"These things are all done by my father-in-law and uncle-in-law Zhang Luo."

"When you lived at number 157, which room did the couple live in?"

"It's the room where the accident happened."

"How do you make your bed?"

"First it was laid against the window, and then it was laid against the wall." The woman recalled slightly, "Whether it is against the window or against the wall, and the bed is against the east wall, I remember your question." ”

The window that the woman is talking about is the window with doors and windows on the south side of the east house, this kind of window, with wooden planks below and panes above, can be used as windows and doors, and when it is hot, all the doors and windows will be opened, and the air will run into the house, which will be cooler. In the past, large families had such doors and windows.

"Sister-in-law, what do you remember?"

"I was impressed by the place where the window and the wall were jointed, as long as I went to the wing room and looked inside, if the joint was still in the same place, then the wall was built by our own family. The house at number 157 was never rented out until we moved in. ”

Cui Qiaoqin means: On the contrary, the wall was built by the tenants living in No. 157 after the Che family moved out.

It is very important for comrades to clarify this issue.

"I'll take a look now." Cui Qiaoqin's mood was even more anxious than that of her comrades.

Several people heard Cui Qiaoqin's meaning: there is a little distance between the east wall and the windows with doors, the big bed is placed against the east wall and the windows with doors and windows on the south side, and people sleep on the couch, and they have an impression of the distance between the wall and the windows with doors.

Cui Qiaoqin just wanted to see the distance between the east wall and the doors and windows to determine whether the first wall was built before the family moved in, or if the tenants built it after the family moved out.

Zhao Zimeng stood up: "Yunfei Xiao Luhan is waiting for the car here, I, Director Gu, Section Chief Min and Xiang Daimo, and Cui Qiaoqin will go back to No. 157." When they came, you brought the two brothers to number 157. ”

The five people walked out of the Chejia compound, entered Qixingmen Street, walked dozens of meters to the east, and entered Impermanence Lane - the gate of the Chejia compound was facing Qixingmen Street.

Zhao Zimeng pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard.

Lu Qian heard the voice and greeted him.
