Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records
Chapter 61 Corpse Water Red Bean Soup
Just as Zhou Yang inserted the key, the door was opened from the inside.
"Is that Xiao Yang? You're back?" The man paused for a moment when he saw Zhou Yang, then greeted him warmly.
"Is that Yangyang?" With a familiar voice, Zhou Yang saw his mother, wearing an apron, peek out from the kitchen.
"These are all our neighbors in the community. The one who opened the door for you was Sister Liu from Building 3. And this is Uncle Li, Uncle Tang..." Cen Yingyue pointed to each of them to Zhou Yang, holding a spatula.
Zhou Yang could only greet everyone with a smile on his face, but in the end, his father pulled him aside.
"Is the case finished?" Zhou Zhenbang handed Zhou Yang a bowl of corn.
"What's this?" Zhou Yang nodded, then held up the corn to show his father what it meant.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhenbang's demeanor immediately changed, and his entire spirit was refreshed: "Let me tell you, you have no idea how amazing my catch has been these past two days. If I weren't afraid of disturbing your investigation, I would have even planned to drag your entire bureau into this for you to see..."
Looking at Zhou Zhenbang's radiant face, Zhou Yang realized that his father had been won over by his own efforts.
Zhou Zhenbang talked for a long time, but when Zhou Yang didn't respond, he thought his son didn't believe him. So he pulled him to the refrigerator, opened the freezer compartment, and sure enough, three or four large, processed animals were lying peacefully inside.
"But you were right there when I did it last time, don't you remember?" Zhou Yang looked at his father, who remembered that he had said it several times back then.
"I thought it was unreliable at the time, but who knew..." Zhou Zhenbang knew he was in the wrong, and his voice trailed off: "Oh, why say so much? Hurry up, I'll definitely learn well this time!"
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely get it for you, but you have to tell me your fishing spot and target fish. Depending on the water depth, water quality, and target fish, the bait recipe will be different. There are sweet, sour, and stinky ones..." Zhou Yang rolled up his sleeves and asked Zhou Zhenbang.
"So many rules?" Zhou Zhenbang then began to share the upcoming itinerary and location.
"Huh?" came Mom's voice from outside, and then she found the father and son squatting to the side studying something.
"Zhou Zhenbang, your son just got back, can't you even let him rest for a bit? Instead you're fiddling with that thing for you?" Cen Yingyue said in a low voice, holding a spatula, her face frosty.
"No, he can't deal with that many people. I'm just worried he'll feel awkward around them!" Zhou Zhenbang frowned, adopting the demeanor of a head of the household.
Women, she was praising her fishing skills this morning, and now she's complaining.
Zhou Yang was touched; after all, he was his father, who knew he didn't like this kind of socializing. But this feeling of being touched didn't last long.
"Hurry up and finish, then go chat with everyone. These are all people your mom invited to introduce you to potential partners!" Seeing Zhou Yang finish washing his hands, Zhou Zhenbang pushed him to the living room.
Looking at the sofa in the living room, which was packed with heads, Zhou Yang smiled sheepishly: "I'll turn on the TV for you guys..."
......
In July, the weather gets hotter every day. In the past, at this time, ice cream, herbal tea, mung bean smoothies and other cold drinks would have been sold on the streets.
However, such scenarios are rare this year because a recent TV program claimed that mung beans are cooling in nature and not suitable for everyone. Some people with weak spleens and stomachs may experience diarrhea after drinking them. In this day and age, the content on TV is still quite convincing.
As a result, a new type of cold drink was born: chilled red bean soup. Compared to mung bean soup, red beans are milder and can also replenish qi and blood. In the current season, it has gradually become popular.
Changleyuan Community is located in the center of Chengdong Street, with convenient access in all directions. Although it is an old community, the green environment inside the community is quite good.
Grandma Xu got up early, took out the red beans she bought yesterday, poured them into a basin, and turned on the tap to wash them.
She paid extra attention to these loose items, washing them at least twice. Who knew if rats or insects might crawl on them after the seller drew the curtain at night?
Soon, her son and daughter-in-law will be going to work, so she gets up early to cook them a bowl of red bean soup. Experts say that breakfast should be eaten like a king, as it is the most important meal of the day.
But there seems to be something wrong with the water today?
The water flowing from the silvery-white faucet was somewhat yellowish, with large bubbles, and a faint fishy smell could be detected when brought close to the nose.
Grandma Xu frowned. With this kind of service, why charge a cleaning fee of three yuan a month? It's outrageous! If you're going to take the money, at least replace these rusty pipes.
Looking at the layer of foam on the surface of the water, Old Mrs. Xu frowned and poured it out. She filled another basin with the same foam, but the situation remained the same.
It doesn't matter anyway, the water for boiling red beans still needs to be boiled. Once the water boils, it will be clean. Life is much better now than it was back then. The water we used to bring back would take several hours to settle, and it tasted earthy.
"Huh, why is this water so dirty?" came the daughter-in-law's puzzled voice.
"Let's just make do with it for now. The water pipes must be rusty; they've been there for ages!" Grandma Xu explained.
......
After her son and daughter-in-law finished eating, they left. Old Mrs. Xu tidied up and went downstairs to chat with her old neighbors. Many of them mentioned the water quality issue.
The elderly men and women got angrier and angrier. They had paid money but were still drinking dirty water. No matter how they talked, they felt unbalanced. Since they had nothing better to do, they decided to file a complaint. After all, they had heard on TV that if there was a problem, they should file a complaint.
Soon, the group encountered other residents of the community who were equally indignant on the road.
The staff in the community took this situation very seriously. After various investigations, they still couldn't find the problem. Later, a technician suggested checking the water tank on the top floor, because a problem with such a large area of water supply couldn't be caused by a single pipe; it was most likely a problem with the main water supply system.
There is no direct passage to the top floor. To get to the roof, you need to climb several cat ladders (steel ladders) fixed to the wall in the middle of the eighth floor, and then go through the roof opening to get up.
Two workers climbed to the roof and then used a ladder on one side of the water tank to get to the top of the tank. They found that there was nothing unusual about the tank; the lids were all there and tightly sealed, with no signs of being opened.
The water inside is drinking water. To prevent insects, rodents, and other animals from entering, the water tank is very well sealed and cannot be opened under normal circumstances.
However, in the spirit of responsibility and in order to find out the cause thoroughly, the two staff members found some tools and finally opened the lid of the water tank. But when they peeked inside, they were so frightened that they almost fell off the water tank.
A body was floating in the water tank. The once clear water had turned a different color. The person was floating there quietly. The water beneath him flowed into the homes of more than 500 residents in the community.
While Grandma Xu and others were anxiously waiting for the results, they saw more and more residents coming out of the building. Upon closer conversation, they discovered that most of them had come down to check on the situation because their water supply had been cut off.
Grandma Xu and the others exchanged glances, a bad feeling rising in their hearts. Just then, she saw two young people being helped down the stairs, their faces pale and their steps unsteady.
She had just met these two people. They were walking very fast. They had just said they were checking the water tank on the roof. Could it be that there was a problem?
A water outage in the sweltering summer heat is a nightmare.
The community staff said that the water was being repaired and would be back on soon, and then advised everyone to go home.
Grandma Xu was also persuaded to leave, but just as she reached the gate, two police cars roared into the community. One of the cars had people wearing long coats and masks getting out, carrying boxes.
