November 7th.

After a heavy rain, the temperature in Yuqiao dropped completely. The temperature remained at around 20 degrees during the day and only over 15 degrees in the morning and evening.

The temperature difference is not big and the clothing is relatively comfortable.

However, the weather has improved, and the detectives have become busy again.

…

Night, 11:40, Unit 12, Building B, Huakang Community.

Su Ping frowned, looked at Qi Yuan, and asked, "What's going on?"

Tonight, Qi Yuan was on duty and notified them to rush over. He couldn't explain a few words clearly on the phone, so Su Ping said that we would discuss it in detail at the scene.

"Tasks under the command center." Qi Yuan immediately answered and said:

"It was said that this family was having a barbecue in the room. During this period, the reporter left for a while. When she came back to see her, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband and sister-in-law were unconscious and not breathing. She suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. She hurried

Called the emergency number and called the police at the same time.”

After a pause, Qi Yuan sighed again, shook his head and said: "The medical staff arrived at the scene five minutes ago and confirmed that the pupillary reflex was small and he was brain dead."

Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly: "Carbon monoxide poisoning? Do they use charcoal barbecue at home?"

Qi Yuan nodded: "This house is quite big. It is a large duplex with more than 300 square meters. I just checked and the price of a second-hand house is more than 7 million."

Brother Song was thoughtful and asked: "You just said that the person who reported the crime left midway, right?"

"Well," Qi Yuan nodded, then raised his chin and said, "She is over there, let's go over and ask?"

Several people followed his gaze and saw a woman sitting on the sofa, her eyes dull and tears streaming down her face.

"You haven't asked yet?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

"I tried asking a few questions, but she didn't respond. All the information I know was told to me by my brother from the police station," Qi Yuan said.

He came directly from the detachment. Although he came faster than Su Ping and others, it was not much faster, less than ten minutes.

Su Ping said yes and walked straight towards the woman.

The woman is young and beautiful, with a well-managed figure. She should be around 25 or 26 years old by visual inspection. She is wearing a floral sleeveless dress.

"Madam," Su Ping bent down and called out. Seeing that she didn't respond, he couldn't help but raise his voice a little more and asked, "Madam?"

She finally came to her senses, glanced at Su Ping blankly, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What do you call it?" Su Ping asked at his own pace.

She opened her mouth, slowly sat up straight, took out two pieces of paper and pressed it gently on her face, sucking away the tears.

Qi Yuan thought for a while, rubbed Su Ping's arm gently, and then looked at a commemorative certificate placed on the coffee table - it was the women's half marathon completion certificate.

There is a signature on the certificate, the woman's name is Zhou Jia, and the signature is somewhat artistic.

Su Ping frowned, but immediately understood what Qi Yuan meant. When he saw that the woman hadn't said anything yet, he rolled his eyes and asked, "Madam, is your name Diao?"

"Pfft... uh!" Zhou Jia couldn't hold it back, but choked again, and burped involuntarily. Then her face turned red instantly, and she coughed a few more times, then covered her mouth and said: "Officer,

What do you look like? My name is Zhou Jia! Your name is Diao!"

Su Ping's eyes trembled slightly, and he quietly gestured to Qi Yuan, and then said: "Sorry, I misunderstood... Have you ever participated in a half marathon?"

"Yeah." The woman nodded lightly: "I really like running and running. I signed up for two half-marathons and wanted to find a chance to challenge a full marathon, but...

I suddenly realized that such high-intensity running was actually out of the realm of fitness and health. My passion for running also slowly cooled down. Now I only run two or three kilometers a day and do it every two or three days.

A set of HIIT.”

Su Ping nodded clearly and chuckled: "It's good to exercise."

"Yeah." Zhou Jia also nodded.

Then Su Ping suddenly got back to business: "Can you tell me? What's going on?"

"Huh?" Zhou Jia was dumbfounded for a moment, then nodded immediately and said, "I have told the police officer at the police station about the general situation. We had a dinner party tonight and had a barbecue at home.

I left for a while, for about twenty minutes. When I came back, they all fell to the ground, the barbecue grill was overturned, and the charcoal fell on my father-in-law, and his hands and clothes were all burned. Fortunately,

Stay away from the curtains, otherwise the curtains will be set on fire and the whole house may be..."

"Fortunately?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows again.

Zhou Jia frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I didn't mean that, I..."

However, Su Ping took the initiative to change the topic and did not get involved in this aspect. He just asked: "Is it convenient to talk about it? What did you do when you left?"

"It's the company's business," Zhou Jia said: "Before getting off work in the afternoon, I asked my company's designer to send me the sketch of the decoration plan the customer wanted tonight for my review.

I had forgotten about it, but he suddenly called and said that the design sketch had been sent to my email. I went upstairs to deal with it, which took about twenty minutes and a half, and when I came back... just...

I was so stupid at the time that I stood there in a daze for a long time before I remembered to call the emergency number and call the police. I also wanted to remove the coals from my father-in-law's body, but I didn't know what to do, so I tried with a clamp.

I clamped it and found that the charcoal fire was stuck to the flesh and could not be pulled away."

After a pause, she sighed, turned away, and tears fell again. After a while, she continued: "It was a good dinner, why did it end up like this?"

Su Ping was thoughtful and glanced at Qi Yuan and Brother Song.

But neither of them understood Su Ping's eyes.

There was no other way. After sighing that there was no tacit understanding, Su Ping had to ask himself: "It sounds like you opened a company?"

Zhou Jia opened her mouth again, as if she couldn't adapt to Su Ping's rambling rhythm, but after two seconds she nodded slightly and said, "Well, a decoration design company. The company is actually run by my father, but

But leave it to me to take care of it."

"It's quite profitable, right?" Su Ping chuckled, and then said, "It's not easy to buy such a big house."

"I don't know either. My father has always been in control of the finances. No one is allowed to interfere." Zhou Jia shook his head and said, "As for this house... it was also a dowry given by my father."

"Dowry?" Su Ping raised his eyebrows.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Jia explained: "My husband... he and I were classmates in college, and we both studied interior design.

His family conditions are not very good. He was born in a rural area and belongs to a poor family. But I don't care about his family conditions. I just admire him as a person. He is very talented and sunny. Although he is a bit dull in relationships, he

But dedicated enough...

But my parents don't like it very much. They always want me to find someone who is a good match. I'm not happy, so I fall in love with him. At worst, I'll have to live a hard life with him for two years. In terms of material things, we can also work hard on our own.

Come back, what can you do?

My parents couldn't resist me, so they agreed to let me marry him. They just didn't agree with me following him back to the countryside and forced me to stay in Yuqiao.

Maybe they were afraid that I would endure hardship. After all, the material conditions they provided me since I was a child were actually quite good. It was precisely because they were afraid that I would endure hardship that I bought this house when I got married. I also had two cars, one for me to drive and one for me to drive.

Give me a man."

Su Ping nodded clearly and said, "So your man and his parents all live in this house?"

Zhou Jia hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly after a moment, hummed, and then immediately added: "We can't live in such a big house, and my parents-in-law are here to take care of us."

Su Ping asked again: "What about your sister-in-law?"

Zhou Jia opened her mouth, then forced a smile and said: "She also got admitted to the university here in Yuqiao, so she came to live with us. She lived on campus when she was studying and only went home on weekends. After graduation, she

In the year, I have been preparing for the public examination and want to take the civil service exam."

"Didn't move out?"

Zhou Jia looked away again: "No, why move away? Isn't it nice for a family of five to live happily?"

"Five? You don't have any children?"

"I want to work hard for a while first." Zhou Jia still tilted her head and said, "I'm still young and don't want to be tied down by children. I just want to work hard for two more years and wait until my career is completely stable before I have children."

After thinking about it, she added: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been urging me, and they also said that I can help take care of the children while they are young, but I have already decided, and my man also supports my decision, so they didn't say much.

, at most we talk about it verbally, and occasionally talk about whose children are doing well."

Su Ping nodded clearly again.

Then, he suddenly asked a more pointed question: "How is your relationship with your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Do you usually have conflicts?"

"No, the relationship is very good and harmonious." Zhou Jia said, then frowned again and couldn't help but ask: "Officer, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I killed my parents-in-law? Are you kidding?

This is just an accident, no one wants this to happen!

Let’s take a step back and say, even if I have a conflict with my parents-in-law, what about my husband? As everyone knows, I am very affectionate with my man. My neighbors and all the employees in my company know it, so I will never give my husband away too.

How about taking a ride in? Also, if my employee hadn’t just called me, I would have almost been tricked, okay?”

"Really?" Su Ping chuckled, and then said: "Don't get excited, I am just asking a routine question, and I have no intention of doubting you...

So, let me ask another question, why do you choose to use charcoal barbecue at home and close the windows? After so many years of publicity, it is not recommended to grill indoors. If you insist on grilling, you must pay attention to ventilation. You are also an intellectual, how could you not know this?

Woolen cloth?"

Zhou Jia frowned again and said, "What do you mean? Does this mean you don't doubt me?"

"Okay, let me put it another way." Su Ping's smile remained unchanged: "Before determining the nature of the case, we have to prepare for the worst, but this is not to doubt you. On the contrary, we want to prove whether you are suspected of committing a crime.

The question may be a bit sharp, but it is also to eliminate your suspicion, so I hope you will forgive me."
