Zuo Xiangdong walked into the kitchen, turned on the light, and picked up two water bottles from the stove, coincidentally, there was no water in the two water bottles. There were also three thermos on the stove - the thermos were full.

When the Qin family moved out, they also threw down the hot water bottle.

"Go, I'll lead you." Director Gu was already standing on the steps in front of the living room.

The four men walked out of the small door and into the alley.

The alley was dark and rumbling, and I couldn't see my fingers. Looking south, there was a faint light not far away, and only after walking around the corner did I know that the faint light was the afterglow of the street lamp at the entrance of the alley.

There is a cement telephone pole erected on the left side of the alley, and there is a street lamp on the pole, and the lampshade on the street lamp is no longer there, only a light bulb remains.

On the opposite side of the telephone pole there is a tea stove, and the tea stove is facing the alleyway.

There was a line of eight or nine people in front of the tea stove, each carrying a thermos bottle in their hands (at least two, at most four).

An old lady with a funnel in her left hand and a scoop in her right hand was boiling water into a water bottle, and a hot water bottle was placed on the stove.

Director Gu said that originally, there were three tea stoves on Zhonghe Street, and the two on the street and at the end of the street were closed two years earlier, and now, the degree of modernization is getting higher and higher, and many families have abandoned those old lifestyles.

Zuo Xiangdong and Director Gu stood at the back of the line.

"Director Gu, come, I'll rush you first-you don't need to queue up." Mrs. Li saw Director Gu at a glance.

"Yes! Director Gu, you rush first. A man in the team said.

"Thank you, no need, there are not many people, it will be here in a while, Aunt Li, we don't have anything to do now, you are busy with yours."

Everyone's attention was focused on the four people, and most of the people on the street knew what was happening at 157 "Impermanence Lane".

When Zuo Xiangdong and Director Gu moved to the tea stove, the boiling water was finished. Mrs. Li opened the lid of the other cauldron and scooped the water in the other cauldron into the first cauldron with a spoon, and the water in the second cauldron was at least forty degrees, and the water at forty-five degrees would boil faster. This is a very smart approach, put a pot next to the main pot, the water in the main pot is boiling, and the water in the first pot also has a certain temperature, which not only saves fuel, but also speeds up and increases the yield.

Ouyang Ping noticed that there were four pots of different sizes next to the main pot.

Soon, there was a sound of water in the main pot.

Taking advantage of this gap, Director Gu and Mrs. Li talked.

"Aunt Li, have you heard about No. 157?"

"I was there this afternoon. Director Gu, you flush the water later, flush as you go, don't queue up, your case is important, you are all neighbors, no one cares. ”

"Thank you, old man, no need, we borrowed the flush to go out for a walk, and the rules still have to be followed - and the case is handled and I don't care about this time."

"Aunt Li, this is Captain Ouyang of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He wants to ask you something. ”

"Okay! As long as I know, Comrade Captain, what do you want to ask? ”

"Auntie, there used to be a lot of tenants in the courtyard of No. 157. Did they flush the boiling water with you? Ouyang Ping stood in front of Aunt Li.
