On the south bank of the Taizi River to the west is Tieshi Village, the chemical plant is in the east, and this section of the river is in the middle, Bai Donghai drove the police car straight to the chemical factory, because it was during the Spring Festival, the factory had already stopped, and only the workers on duty remained.

I got out of the car and followed Lu Lingyun into the duty room, where the two workers sat around the coal stove and ate dumplings.

Seeing those two people, Lu Lingyun and I were stunned for a moment.

Zhao Baojun also looked confused when he stood up.

"Lao Zhao, do you work in this factory?" I walked up to him in two steps and asked.

"Well, the workers in the factory are far away and left early, and Da Zhuang and I are from Tieshi Village, so we help watch the factory."

Officer Li and Officer Bai, who came in behind me and Lu Lingyun, were both wearing police uniforms, and Zhao Baojun and Da Zhuang sensed that something was wrong and became nervous.

"Did something happen?"

Lu Lingyun opened his mouth and asked, "Did anyone else come in the chemical factory except you yesterday afternoon?" ”

"Someone else?" The man named Da Zhuang looked at Zhao Baojun with a repeated question, and continued: "Sister-in-law has come to deliver dumplings." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Baojun nodded affirmatively.

"My daughter-in-law Zhang Hong, she came at more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and left at ten o'clock in the evening, our factory is very good but there is no network, she said that she wants to go home and video call with the children who go to school in other places, so she has to go back."

Lu Lingyun and I glanced at each other and felt that Zhao Baojun's daughter-in-law was likely to be the woman who died of spontaneous combustion.

Lu Lingyun asked Bai Donghai to take the man named Da Zhuang out of the duty room, while I pulled Lao Zhao to sit down, thinking about how to ask in my head.

"That... Do you remember what clothes your sister-in-law wore, pants and shoes? ”

"Remember! Plaid padded jackets, brown-red pants and black cotton shoes, what's wrong? Did something happen to my daughter-in-law? It's a big New Year, comrade police officer, don't scare me. ”

I listened to what he said, and there was no doubt that it was Zhang Hong.

Lu Lingyun patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me to get out of the way, he came to ask, and I got up and stood behind him.

"Zhao Baojun, now please explain clearly the time before and after Zhang Hong's visit to the chemical plant yesterday afternoon." His face was very dark, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to look directly into his heart.

People who have been police officers for many years are really different from my style of life.

Zhao Baojun's forehead was sweating, and his hands were nervously clasped together and trembling slightly.

"I went to Qingshan Village last morning to find Yan Xiangu to tell my fortune, and in the afternoon I came directly to the factory for another shift of colleagues, my daughter-in-law wrapped dumplings at home and sent them to me, she asked me to cook half of them in the evening, and cook some more this morning."

"And where else did she go to the factory?"

Zhao Baojun thought for a while and said: "By the way, I said that the factory sent some oil and noodles to the workers a few years ago, but there were two far away ones that were not easy to take, and the things were not moved, and they were put in the warehouse, she wanted, I said, then I have to ask my colleagues, and a person outside came back to find it after the New Year, and we used things badly." ”

"Where's the barn?" Lu Lingyun asked.

Zhao Baojun walked to the window and pointed.

We took the key from him and went to investigate, it was cold in the warehouse, there were traces of broken glass jars on the floor, and various chemical preparations were placed above the shelves. The amount of oil and noodles mentioned by Zhao Baojun is incorrect, and a bottle of one-liter soybean oil is missing.

Lu Lingyun called the police officers of the technical team at the scene and confirmed that there were obvious traces of the ignition of the accelerant under the left ribs of the charred corpse.

This woman is really, her death is bizarre and weird, just like the movie "Death is Coming" made in the United States, all kinds of coincidences come together and become inevitable.

Lu Lingyun felt that it was time to tell Zhao Baojun the bad news, so he said: "At about eleven o'clock last night, a woman on the Taizi River was burned to death, it should be your wife Zhang Hong. ”

"What do you say? No way!! How can my daughter-in-law be... No way. Zhao Baojun stared at me and Lu Lingyun with wide eyes and frightened, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and his hand slid the mobile phone and fell to the ground.

"Daughter-in-law... Daughter-in-law··· Why is this New Year's celebration gone..."

Zhao Baojun squatted on the ground and cried sadly, Lu Lingyun comforted him and helped him up and walked outside the warehouse.

I wanted to ask him about the woman in the river, but I was so sad that I had to go to the worker named Da Zhuang.

Da Zhuang is burly, with a dark complexion, and at first glance he is a capable person, and he takes Officer Li and Officer Bai to collect evidence in the factory, and he is very enthusiastic.

"What do you think of Zhao Baojun's daughter-in-law Zhang Hong?" Li Qiang asked, and Bai Donghai took a small notebook to record.

"She~~It's hard to say~~" Da Zhuang pouted, as if he didn't want to talk about the worker's wife.

"Why can't you say? Whatever you want, hurry up! Li Qiang urged impatiently.

Da Zhuang looked into the distance, making sure that Zhao Baojun would not hear before speaking.

"Zhang Hong, this woman is very powerful, everyone in the township knows that her mouth is like a knife, Lao Zhao is afraid of her daughter-in-law, and she listens to her everything, but this woman loves to say bad things about others behind her back, and she pretends to be a good person in front of her, and the whole village is annoyed by her."

Li Qiang frowned and continued to ask: "So she has a very bad popularity, has she offended many people?" ”

"That's not it, there is no one in Tieshi Village who doesn't hate her, she is mixing with her relatives and neighbors, if someone's family lives a good life, she will have a thorn in her eyes, and she has to chew her tongue."

"Doesn't Zhao Baojun know about his daughter-in-law's situation?" I interjected and asked.

"Lao Zhao is an honest man, he was brainwashed by Zhang Hong, and he couldn't listen to what others said, he just thought that his daughter-in-law was a virtuous person, and he knew what Lao Zhao's sister-in-law was forced by Zhang Hong."

"His sister? Zhao Baojuan? ”

"Yes, yes, Juanzi is the same as her brother, they are honest people, but unfortunately her life is not good, five years ago the old man drove and died, she had to go to the city to work in order to pull the child to grow up, and told the people in the village that she was cooking for others at the construction site, but in fact, she was introduced to the unclean place in the city by her sister-in-law to do that kind of profession."

I took a deep breath and felt that what was going on behind the case might be even more terrifying.

Bai Donghai asked him curiously, how did he know, it turned out that someone in the village had seen Zhao Baojuan in the city, and she was dressed quite plainly and stood in front of the nightclub with a smile on her face.

Almost all the news spread in the village, but Lao Zhao was kept in the dark.

Before we finished talking, Zhao Baojun came over accompanied by Lu Lingyun, he wanted to go to the scene of the incident to take a look, even if he didn't want to accept it, he would send Zhang Hong on the last ride.

The five of us crammed into the old Santana police car and returned to the Putra River, and at this moment the number of villagers on the bank increased, the two bodies were covered with white cloths, and the police officers of the technical department searched and collected the riverbank.

Lu Lingyun and Li Qiang accompanied Zhao Baojun to the frozen river, I didn't follow, and I still heard the wailing screams of this man in his fifties standing far away.

Zhang Hong did die a bit tragically, but when she thought of the description of her co-worker Da Zhuang, she felt that she was not worthy of sympathy.

There have always been women like her in the village, but they can't see other people's families living a good life, and they are the ones who are unlucky.
