Chapter 70 See You There

A month ago, a housing estate resident made a report to the local police, saying that there was a foul smell coming frequently from the house downstairs of his. It was Tao Gang who performed the task. He asked the residents around there. And according to the information provided by the neighborhood committee, the house owner had moved to Beijing. The person who lived there now was a tenant and had stayed there for half a year. He was a middle-aged man and a loner. No one had ever seen any visitors of his. At that time, Tao Gang knocked on that door and found there was indeed a foul smell in the house! Something was being cooked on the stove. Tao Gang took a look at it but couldn't figure out what that was. So he questioned the middle-aged man, "What is in the pot?" The man answered, "It's meat!" Tao Gang asked again, "What kind of meat?" The man answered, "It's not human meat!" Seeing that this man was perfunctory, Tao Gang didn't say anything more. After opening the fridge, Tao Gang found a lot of raw meat, but he couldn't tell what it was. Then he asked the man but got nothing. He was at his wit's end! Therefore he said to the man, "Someone made a report to us that the smell in your room is affecting other resident's lives!" Unexpectedly, the man replied, "You can't consider me as law-breaking just because I don't cook well!" Seeing that this man was evading his questions, there was nothing Tao Gang could do. Then after Tao Gang handed in the report, he fell ill all of a sudden. He looked absent-minded as if his soul were lost.
