1
After the summer solstice, the weather starts to get hot, with daytime temperatures reaching as high as 36 degrees Celsius. The city is like a big steamer, and the citizens living in the cage are so irritated that they curse the sky. Of course, most people who live in air-conditioned rooms don’t think there is anything wrong with the hot summer. Well, some girls even think summer is the best season because they can boldly expose their bodies and attract men's attention.

Zhang Huaiyou is 42 years old and is a plasterer. His family lives in the countryside of Mianyang, Sichuan. He has been working in this city for 15 years. However, because of his weak constitution, he finds it difficult to do bricklaying work, so he occasionally misses work. , however, he did his best to work as much as possible in order to provide for his two children to study.

He has a son who is a freshman in Chongqing and is 20 years old this year, and a daughter who is a freshman in high school in his hometown and is 16 years old. Her grandfather and grandmother take care of her.These two children are his favorites, as well as his spiritual motivation and sustenance. When he feels very hard, he will think of them. At this time, all worries will be thrown away, and his heart will be filled with happiness and joy.

In order to save money, he and his wife Zhang Yu lived in an abandoned primary school next to Luoqian Village in Jiangbei District. This primary school was originally called Xiaokengcun Primary School. Later, because of its age, it was classified as a dangerous building by the district government, and the students all moved out. Went to a new school.Demolition had been planned, but was shelved because the government and developers failed to reach an agreement.Therefore, Zhang Huai happened to take advantage of him.

Today is June 2020, 6. The sun is blazing in the sky. There is not a cloud to block the sunshine, and there is not a trace of wind. The world seems to have stopped, and the heat is so hot that it is breathless, especially for migrant workers working in the field. It’s even more torturous.

Hu Ji is a villager in Yegu Village, Jiangbei District. Yegu Village is nearly 12 kilometers away from the center of Jiangbei District. It used to be farmland. Later, in order to expand the scale of the city, the government purchased the farmland from farmers at a reasonable price and then built a new countryside according to the plan.The new rural areas are designed and planned by professionals. After the foundations are cast with reinforced concrete, they are then sold at the same price as each building.

Most of the people who buy these homesteads are villagers from Yegu Village, villagers from villages around the city, and people from other provinces.Most villagers started building houses on January 2019, 1. Hu Ji delayed the construction for a year because he did not have enough funds.It has now reached the sixth floor, which is also the top floor.

Hu Ji's house was built by Zhang Huaiyou and his coworkers Ouyang Di, Ding Chu, and Che Tongshan. At this time, they were building the last layer of wall on the scaffolding. For some reason, Zhang Huaiyou felt a little sleepy today and his head was foggy. However, in order to rush to work, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Huaiyou stopped what he was doing due to fatigue and was about to rest for a while. He put down the brick knife in his hand, looked up at the beautiful blue sky, and stretched himself, hoping to relieve his fatigue. However, he suddenly His eyes darkened, and he felt like the world was spinning. He wanted to squat down quickly, but his body tilted outward involuntarily, and then he yelled "Ah--" and fell from the scaffolding like a big bird...

There was a loud "pop", and Zhang Huaiyou's head hit the ground. In an instant, his head cracked open, blood spurted out, and white brain matter also flowed out. The ground was scarlet... Many people ran over to watch. Seeing Zhang Huai's tragic situation, some people covered their mouths and ran away with big frightened eyes.

Hu Ji was watching Zhang Huaiyou and the others laying bricks on the top floor. He saw Zhang Huaiyou fall from the scaffolding and hit the ground heavily. He realized something was wrong and quickly called Ouyang Di, Ding Chu, Che Tongshan and the others to go there. Run downstairs.

When they ran downstairs and saw Zhang Huaiyou's miserable condition, Ouyang Di squatted beside him and shouted Zhang Huaiyou's name loudly, and reached out to shake him, hoping that Zhang Huaiyou could answer him, but he was greatly disappointed. .Hu Ji subconsciously took out his mobile phone, dialed 120, and explained the situation to the operator. The operator promised Hu Ji to send an ambulance for rescue.

Ding Chu took out his mobile phone and dialed 110. Five minutes later, Liu Xiaoqing, a police officer from the Criminal Police Team of Jiangbei District Branch, rushed to the scene with two policemen. After examining Zhang Huaiyou's body, he believed that Zhang Huaihe was dead. So he ordered Hu Ji to transport the body to the funeral parlor for preservation as soon as possible.

Liu Xiaoqing originally worked as a police officer in the branch security team. Later, because of his unique insights into handling cases, he stood out and was transferred to the criminal police team as a criminal police officer. He called Ouyang Di over and asked, "Are you a co-worker of the deceased?"

"Well, we have been working together for eight years. His skills are better than mine. I call him Master Zhang. His name is Zhang Huaiyou." He rubbed his hands vigorously, as if he wanted to clean the dirt off them He seemed to have an expression of fear, sadness, regret, and lingering fear.A large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Can you tell me about Zhang Huaiyou's fall?" Liu Xiaoqing looked at the short Ouyang and asked.

"Today Master Zhang and I were building a wall together. Before the accident, I saw him stop what he was doing and look up to the sky. At that moment, I saw his body suddenly tilted outward and fell from the scaffolding. Two seconds later, there was a loud noise and he fell to the ground motionless... I never expected that such a disaster would happen." Ouyang Di said heartbroken.

"How far away were you from him at that time?" Liu Xiaoqing asked, looking up at the scaffolding without protective nets.

"About four meters." He thought for a moment and said.Plasterers' judgment of distance is very accurate. This is their professional habit.

"Was there no one else around him at the time?"

"No, the landlord was standing opposite him, about four meters away from him. He also saw Master Zhang fall." He stretched out his right foot and rubbed it on the ground, as if he wanted to rub the mud off the soles of Jiefang's shoes.

"What are the names of your other two co-workers? Where were they at that time?"

"One was named Ding Chu and the other was named Che Tongshan. They were small workers and were responsible for delivering bricks and mortar to Master Zhang and me. At that time, they were both standing in the north, lifting bricks from the ground next to the crane. Build it for us."

"How far away are they from Zhang Huai?" "About five meters. They are also facing the direction of Master Zhang and me."

"Then they should have seen Zhang Huai fall from the building, right?"

"Yes, Master Zhang screamed the moment he fell. When they heard the scream, they should have looked over." He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Have you noticed anything unusual about Zhang Huai today?" Liu Xiaoqing's face was also covered with sweat. He took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe off the sweat and continued to ask.

"No..." he shook his head.

"If you think about it, this is very important to us."

Ouyang Di frowned and fell into deep thought. Just then the ambulance arrived. Doctors and nurses examined Zhang Huaiyou and found that he was dead. They explained to Hu Ji and took out a slip for him to sign.After Hu Ji signed, he was about to leave, but the doctor was stopped by Liu Xiaoqing.

Liu Xiaoqing asked the doctor some basic information, and the doctor answered them one by one.But the doctor didn't seem to want to stand in the sun and was a little impatient, so Liu Xiaoqing let him go.The doctor quickly got into the air-conditioned ambulance.After the driver started the car, he ran away quickly.

Liu Xiaoqing walked to Ouyang Di again and asked, "How are you doing? Did you think of anything unusual?"

"Actually, it's not an abnormal situation... I feel that Master Zhang seems to be very tired today. He doesn't lay bricks as fast as before. He seems to have something on his mind and can't cheer up. I didn't care at the time. I didn't think about it until you asked. stand up."

"Oh? Could he have heatstroke?"

"He didn't tell me about this. He shouldn't have heatstroke. Otherwise, he wouldn't come. He never works while sick."

"How is your relationship with Zhang Huai?"

"Of course it's good. I treat him as my brother, and he treats me as my brother. The two of us talk about almost everything." He answered firmly.

"Can you please leave me your mobile phone number? Maybe we will need to find out about the situation from you later."

"Of course." After saying that, he casually reported his mobile phone number. Liu Xiaoqing entered it into the dial pad of his mobile phone and dialed. A few seconds later, Ouyang Di's mobile phone rang. Liu Xiaoqing said, "This is mine." Please also save your mobile phone number. If you find anything suspicious, you can call me at any time. My mobile phone is open 24 hours a day."

"Thank you! Thank you!" He rarely had contact with the police, and there was no policeman in the address book on his mobile phone. Therefore, he thanked Liu Xiaoqing from the bottom of his heart for being so easy-going and approachable.

Liu Xiaoqing went to ask Hu Ji, Ding Chu and Che Tongshan again. They all saw the moment Zhang Huai fell from the building. The details they said were exactly the same as what Ouyang said. Therefore, there was a possibility that Zhang Huai was pushed down the stairs. Extremely small, unless the four of them commit perjury together, but this is almost impossible, because Liu Xiaoqing is an experienced criminal policeman, and if they lie together, it will be difficult to escape his eyes.

When Liu Xiaoqing was about to close the team, a middle-aged woman ran from a distance. She let her hair down, brushed aside the crowd of onlookers, stared at Zhang Huaiyou lying on the ground, slowly knelt down, and threw herself at Zhang Huaiyou. In his arms, he burst into heart-wrenching tears, and his sad cries were touching.She is Zhang Yu, Zhang Huai's wife.

Hu Ji and Ouyang went up to persuade Zhang Yu. Hu Ji said, "Mrs. Zhang, there is no resurrection after death. Please bear with me and bear with me. Don't break your body from crying. I will go through the normal procedures as soon as possible and compensate you. Don't worry... ..." However, Zhang Yu seemed unable to listen and was still crying bitterly.

Liu Xiaoqing felt very sad when he saw this. He always wanted to do something for Zhang Huaiyou, but he didn't know how to do it. There was nothing he could do about this kind of accidental death.
