The heavy rain did not stop until six o'clock the next morning. The water in Linxian County was already overflowing with water. Looking around, there were many low-lying sections where a few households could pass a Zodiac. The first floors of many buildings were submerged in water.

People rushed to the rooftop balcony to ask for help.

Due to its relatively high location, Qiu Ruoshui's house had floods seeping in 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 in every street were overflowing with water. The manhole covers were lifted to the ground by the crisscrossing flood water. The water inside spurted out like a fountain. Agencies from various places were organizing rescue teams. The armed police and public security dispatched assault boats and various models.

hovercraft.

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 went to participate in the rescue operation, then Wang Fei would definitely follow. After they left, she would be the only one left in the family. What if... Bah! Where in the world did that come from?

Just in case. What are you thinking about?

Chopin's call has not been answered yet. Is Liang Huan's cell phone out of battery? Still worried about being harassed, she deliberately turned off her cell phone.

Qiu Ruoshui didn't dare to think any more. She 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: "Impossible, how could I like your secretary, Miss Xiaolan?"

Mentioning 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.

Chopin, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but open his mouth and take a big breath of fresh air. But at this moment, he smelled a pungent smell. It was like the smell of a rotting corpse. Could it be that a mouse or something else died nearby?

Animals. Otherwise, where does this putrid smell come from? When I think about it, my mind can't help but feel a bang.

"Master, what does this smell like?"

Wang Fei also smelled it. He looked at Chopin in surprise and asked.

Chopin didn't speak. He had a very sharp nose. When he was a soldier in the army, his comrades said he had a dog's nose.

He was judging the direction of the wind and the direction from which the putrid smell was coming. Then he slowly walked towards the window.

Qiu Ruoshui also smelled it, but she thought there might be a mouse or small animal such as a cat or dog dead nearby.

"It stinks so much. Where does the stink come from?"

As Qiu Ruoshui spoke, she hung up the phone and reached out to close the window.

Chopin pulled her away, then leaned over and leaned on 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 still think about Meng Yuxi. Let me 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 with helpless eyes, 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, the police came and took him away. Then he was released 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 in total, 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 alive. 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 what was going on.

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 putrid smell was even worse. Some citizens had already waded into the downstairs of Qiu Ruoshui's neighbor's house and looked up. Apparently the putrid smell came from the living room on the second floor. Qiu Ruoshui

I also smelled it. So I 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. He originally lived in the same village as Zhao Xiangbei. Later, he moved to the city with his parents. His parents made a lot of money in business ten years ago, so they built this building here.

The house was well-decorated and made a luxurious housewarming celebration. But the next year, his parents suddenly died in a car accident. So Zhao Youting became the only person in the family. He had no brothers or sisters, and he did not usually interact with classmates or relatives.

With the money his parents left him, he stayed at home and ate away every day without going out to find a job or 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 will not dare to come back here in the future.

After wading through the water and arriving at the downstairs of Zhao Youting's house, Chopin once again identified the source of the rancid smell.

It was indeed coming from the window on the second floor of Zhao Youting's house. So why don't you open that door and go in to take a look?

When thinking this way, Chopin was no longer calm.

It's better to call the police and wait until the police arrive.

So Chopin reached into his pocket to get his cell phone. As a result, he found that the cell phone had fallen on the sofa in the living room of Qiu Ruoshui's house.

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 more 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 caused serious flooding in the city. All the breakfast shops on the street were closed. I looked all the way and no one was open. It seemed that I went back and made breakfast by myself. I ignored it for now, I was not hungry anyway. Qiu Ruoshui called the police.

There was silence after the phone call.

The flood in the sewer was gradually weakening. The stagnant water on the street began to pour into the sewer. 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 Lin County. The sky after the heavy rain looked particularly blue. It was like a large dark blue mirror shrouding the sky.

The sky above Lin County.

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 had seen last time. They were the two people who took Zhao Youting away that night.

Qiu Ruoshui recognized them from afar, so she 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, I heard 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 was 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.
