The first person who found the abnormality was Ms. Zhang, the second landlord. At 8 o'clock on February 3, 65438, she went home after dancing the square dance. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the tenant Lao Wu lying on the living room floor, and there was no sign of life.
After investigating the scene, the police contacted Wu Dehong's ex-girlfriend Chen Lizhen. The phone only said that Wu Dehong was "ill". Chen Lizhen asked her which hospital she was in, but the police didn't answer and asked her to come directly to Anpin Street near Chaotian Palace.
Chen Lizhen had a bad feeling. At the moment she squeezed into the living room, she realized that people must have left. Wu Dehong was lying on the ground, his legs spread apart, and his lips were a little purple.
That night, the forensic doctor made a preliminary judgment: sudden death, excluding criminal cases.
Three cars in three years
Less than 5 meters away from the place where Wu Dehong fell to the ground, the electric car he relied on for a living was parked.
Three years after delivery, Wu Dehong changed three cars. I bought a used car for the first time, and I can't run for long. He spent another 3,800 yuan on a new car, only to wake up one morning and the car was gone. He had to replace his old car with a new battery and keep running. Just a few days after running, the battery was stolen again.
I rode this bike before I died. I bought it after the Spring Festival in 20 19. It looks very new.
The car has been branded with the trace of Wu Dehong. A pair of cotton sleeves wrapped around the handle have worn off the cuffs. There is a mobile phone stand next to the dashboard, with a helmet and a black cotton mask hanging below.
The incubator at the rear of the car can best reflect the identity of the owner. The box is firmly fixed with a lock hanging at the opening. Wu Sheng, who works in Nanjing, has heard his cousin mention that he was stolen many times. If the rice is lost and no one can be caught, the rider can only compensate. Another time, the crayfish in the box was spilled on the way to delivery, and my cousin lost more than 190 yuan, "which is equivalent to doing it for nothing that day."
A week after Wu Dehong's death, the smell left in the incubator still lingers. Between the gaps in the box, there are data lines, waterproof bags for mobile phones and vests for take-away platforms.
According to family members, in addition to briefly trying UU errands and other platforms, Wu Dehong has been a crowdsourcing distributor of a takeaway platform. It is equivalent to taking delivery in the form of part-time, and the time is relatively free. However, the family did not know about the specific monthly income before, and Wu Dehong never took the initiative to mention it.
It was not until his death that this "secret" about face was uncovered.
According to the platform data, from July to now, Wu Dehong has received 508 orders at most one month. It was 165438+ 10. He rode nearly 2000 kilometers in Nanjing and got 5630.55 yuan.
The other time it exceeded 5,000 yuan was in August, and he completed 47 1 order. In the month with the least income, he earned less than 3000 yuan.
On the day of his death on February 3, 65438, Wu Dehong rode 47.4 kilometers, completed the delivery of 1 1 takeaway order, and won a reward of 140.8 yuan.
Two days before his death, Wu Dehong went back to his hometown to see his parents. His hometown is in dangtu county, Maanshan, which is only over 60 kilometers away from Nanjing and takes an hour by car. In the past, every one or two months, Wu De Red would go home to have a look. Every time he comes back, he won't come back empty-handed. He brought cake and salted duck home. Walking around my sister's house will also bring my brother-in-law a bottle of wine.
Once I went home and told my family about the price increase of pork. Wu Dehong said that pork was so expensive that he hadn't even touched the skin for a long time. Sister listened to the heart movement, quietly bought 50 yuan of pork, marinated it, and gave it to him before leaving.
This time before his death, Wu Dehong did not go to his sister's house after returning to the village. The family was a little surprised, guessing that he was short of money and had no money to buy gifts, so he simply didn't go. "The rent is one month 1200 yuan. Apart from living expenses such as eating, he has no money left. "
The room where Wu Dehong lived before his death remains the same. There is a glass ashtray in front of the bed, and there is a cigarette end of Nanjing cigarette in it. With half a pack of Su Yan and a lighter.

The family cleaned up Wu Dehong's clothes and found only two one-dollar coins, a pack of red Nanjing and a lighter. Wu Sheng told reporters: "The bag of Su Yan on the table was given by my uncle when he came home last time. He usually only smokes 12 yuan in Hongnan. "
The statement of the proprietress of the nearby store proves this point. Wu Dehong came to her shop to buy cigarettes before his death, and he always wanted to be popular in Nanjing. Besides, the delivery man didn't leave any impression on her.
Two folded lottery tickets were lost in the trash can in Wu Dehong's room. Chen Lizhen confirmed that he did have the habit of buying lottery tickets at ordinary times, but he bought less. Like many people, he fantasizes about the day when he will turn over after winning 5 million.
After divorcing his ex-wife, his son was awarded to Wu Dehong for support. This guy, height 1 m 83, is studying in Wuhan. His usual living expenses sometimes come from his father, and sometimes he has to do odd jobs himself. As for tuition, he is not sure where the money from his grandmother came from.
Liabilities of over 200,000.
People who know Wu Dehong say that Wu Dehong not only makes a living and subsidizes his family, but also pays off his debts with the money he earned. He is under great economic pressure.
More than 20 years ago, Wu Dehong contracted a fish pond in his hometown, and he lost the qualification to continue contracting when the tender expired. Later, I came to Nanjing to develop, started a business in partnership with several friends and opened a large-scale restaurant. The result was a total loss in less than a year.
The failure of this business made Wu Dehong bear more than 200,000 yuan in debt. Until his death, there were still 30,000 yuan to 40,000 yuan.
"If he can't pay, he will be in a hurry." Chen Lizhen can feel Wu Dehong's psychological changes. He used to go out to play with friends, but later, because he had no money, he seldom socialized again.
In the last year of his life, Wu De spent most of his time in the cubicle of a two-story building, except for delivery.
In the old house on Anpin Street, this building is very hidden. Passing through a brick house whose roof has collapsed is the small building where Wu Dehong lives.
The structure of this building is long and narrow, like a double-decker container inserted underground. The old man on the street revealed that this place is also an old house It caught fire more than ten years ago. Later, the landlord built a new building on the original site and rented the room to some migrant workers.

There are many migrants living near Anpin Street. There are more than ten antique shops scattered on both sides of the street less than 500 meters. The second landlord, Ms. Zhang, is also in the antique business. The couple rented the whole house from the landlord, and then rented one of them to Wu Dehong, a takeaway.
The internal structure of this small building, which was built more than ten years ago, is similar to the popular Loft apartment. The living room, kitchen and bathroom are on the first floor, and the second floor is divided into three independent rooms, each of which is less than 10 square meter. Ms. Zhang and her husband live in the sunny side, while Wu Dehong lives in the shady side. In the empty room in the middle, Ms. Zhang's children occasionally come back to live.
In a limited space, make the best use of resources. The partition not only separates the rooms, but also divides the air conditioner into two parts, and two adjacent rooms can "enjoy" one air conditioner.
After the tenant's accident, Ms. Zhang's family moved away quickly. When I met a reporter who came to interview, my husband didn't want to talk more, only said that the time was staggered and there was little contact at ordinary times. After taking the last batch of items, he drove away quickly on an electric car.
On the morning of February 9, 65438, except for public facilities, only Wu Dehong's belongings were not taken away. On the dining table in the living room, two dishes he cooked were buckled under a plastic basket. One of them is scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and the other dish is mixed with baby vegetables. The soup has not completely evaporated.
The only meat dish is in the rice cooker, which is bacon cooked by my sister. A small bowl of meat is placed on the rice, and the surface is covered with white grease.

According to the position of his head and feet, the family speculated that Wu Dehong might have suddenly fallen down when he came back to cook dinner. But the exact cause of death is anyone's guess.
Family members believe that Wu Dehong was overworked and caused sudden death. Chen Lizhen also said that Wu Dehong was as good as an ox, and he had never heard of any disease before.
Wu Sheng remembers that my cousin mentioned it to him once. "At that time, the elevator at the customer's house was broken. He just climbed to the 27 th floor to deliver food, and his underwear was soaked. "
The police once asked his family at the scene to find out if Wu Dehong had the habit of drinking. Wu's family said that he doesn't drink at all at ordinary times, and he never drinks when he goes home to get together with relatives and friends during the New Year. Although I smoke, I am not addicted to it. A pack of cigarettes can last for several days.
After the forensic doctor gave the conclusion of "sudden death" at the scene, he asked if it was necessary to send an autopsy. The Wu family thought it was unnecessary, called a funeral car and sent Wu Dehong back to his hometown overnight. The next day, the body was cremated.
After the news spread,
On the night of the incident, when the police lights flashed on Anpin Street, the news of the death of the takeaway had already spread. Most people in the neighborhood know that there are delivery people living around, but there is almost no intersection between them.
Neighbor Wang Hu once greeted Wu Dehong. They stood in the street and talked, saying that the road on the street had been built for so long, why didn't it end? I haven't talked about anything else.
An Anhui woman who sells vegetables on the street has just moved here for more than a month. One noon not long ago, she saw Wu Dehong sitting in the sun at the door and asked him if he wanted to buy food. Wu Dehong said that he hardly cooks. If he wants to buy it, he will go to her house to take care of the business.
The salesgirl in a barber shop around the corner also heard that a delivery man had died, but she couldn't figure out who that person was and couldn't remember whether he had come to the shop for a haircut.
In a yard more than ten meters apart, there are five crowdsourcing takeaways. I heard that a colleague was "dead", and Zhang Bin, a young man from Henan Province, was scared to lie in bed for two days. He feels very tired recently, but he never dares to stop to have a rest.
Others earn thousands a month, while Zhang Bin sometimes earns more than 10,000. He is called "the single king" by his roommates. He runs fifteen or sixteen hours a day, turning his part-time job into a full-time job.
Zhang Bin said that he had no other tricks, but he had to fight. When the platform is engaged in activities on rainy days, he can't bear to miss the temporary increase in unit price. He only slept for 8 hours in 48 hours, and ran outside day and night, earning more than 1000 in two days.
Zhang Bin once rushed to the top of the Nanjing takeaway list on the platform, but was soon brushed off by others.
Liu Haike lives in the bed opposite Zhang Bin and talks about crowdsourcing in the takeaway industry. He said, "Now there is no time limit for each platform. As long as you have the ability to run casually, the platform will not be forced to go offline. "
Liu Haike runs for about eight hours every day, taking forty or fifty orders and earning two or three hundred dollars. Usually, most of his time is spent on delivery. When he went home to charge the car, he also ordered takeout, trying to save time and energy and run more orders.
In the hands of crowdsourcing, Liu Haike has seen some "single kings" in their forties and fifties. These people came out from their hometown or construction site and found that the delivery was quite free, so they kept doing it. Because it is often more difficult than young people to support a family.
Grab time on the road for a long time, and there will inevitably be bumps in the process of delivering food. Not long ago, Liu Haike accidentally fell while riding a bicycle, and his right forehead was torn. He covered the wound with a tissue and sent the rest of the food out before going to see the doctor.
"Otherwise, if it is sent late, it will be fined if it is complained."
Liu Haike went to the clinic first. Because the wound is directly above the eye, it is recommended that he go to the hospital for treatment. Later, I sewed four stitches in the ophthalmology department of a 3A hospital, and the medical expenses cost nearly 1,000 yuan.

After returning from the doctor's office, Liu Haike remembered the 3 yuan insurance premium deducted after receiving the order every day. He contacted the platform customer service and hoped to reimburse the medical expenses. After repeatedly failing to review the submitted materials, he chose to give up.
Wu also noticed that the 3 yuan insurance premium was automatically deducted by the system. The details of the policy show that the insurance covered by 3 yuan Money is crowdsourced rider accident insurance, but the rider page does not show what the accident includes and the corresponding compensation amount.
165438+1October 12, the Commissioner in charge of handling this matter in China of PICC said that crowdsourcing rider accident insurance can cover sudden death. Recently, I have discussed with the family of the deceased with the labor service company, but the specific compensation amount has not been determined, so it is not convenient to disclose it.
The labor agreement in Wu Dehong's mobile phone shows that he signed a labor relationship with a service outsourcing company named "Bangmang". After the Wu family contacted the company, the relevant person in charge said that in addition to insurance compensation, certain humanitarian compensation would be given. But it takes time to know with the public security department and verify the cause of death.
It's too late.
Although it's been a year since we separated, Chen Lizhen is still busy with the aftermath after learning of Wu Dehong's death.
In 20 16, she and Wu Dehong met because of their fellow villagers. Slowly, they have feelings for him. "It can be said that I chased him."
Chen Lizhen 15 years old came to Nanjing to make a living, from painter to taxi driver, trying to save a suite for the rest of his life. Like Wu Dehong, she divorced and lived alone with her daughter.
The relationship between the two developed well, but because Wu Dehong was heavily in debt and his family conditions were average, this relationship was opposed by the Chen family. Wu Dehong is also very entangled. He felt that he had nothing, and he was worried that it would drag Chen Lizhen down.
Chen Lizhen's daughter also refused at first, fearing that her mother would have no one to rely on in the future. Later, she found that Wu Dehong was very kind to her mother and herself and accepted him slowly. Chen Lizhen was very happy to hear that she promised to earn money to support them in the future.
In order to pay off debts, Wu Dehong works as a food coordinator in a restaurant with a monthly salary of 4 thousand. Later, when Chen Lizhen heard that delivery was more profitable and time was more free, she suggested him to do so. Wu Dehong followed her advice.
But because of his face, someone asked about his occupation. He didn't say he was a takeaway, only that he was working outside.
For a time, Wu Dehong worked very hard. The two electric cars rode differently, from 9 am to 1 pm. Later, because it affected Chen Lizhen's rest, the end time was advanced to ten o'clock in the evening.
He wrote on the signature of WeChat: Melodious singing, warm world, and a joy of joy will always belong to the strong self in your life.

However, real life is not so beautiful. In their last year together, the Chen family was even more opposed, and they had to be separated temporarily.
Wu Dehong moved out of the house they shared. Later, I lived in the rental house on Anpin Street because the price was slightly cheaper and I was not afraid to lose my car in the yard.
Although separated, they still care about each other. Every time Wu Dehong goes back to his hometown in Anhui, Chen Lizhen will lend him his private car. She made a plan for him, not to send takeout next year, and to transfer to the network to get a car.
But it's too late.
After Wu Dehong's accident, Chen Lizhen always felt sorry for him, and regretted not letting go of his concern and leaving him behind.
The day before the first seven days, I came to the rental house with the Wu family to pack things. In the room, she recalled the days together while packing things, saying that Wu Dehong loved cleanliness and his clothes were always neatly folded.
Chen Lizhen packed her clothes and took them home. She said her clothes smelled of him, and she couldn't bear to lose them.
Wu Dehong's ashes are temporarily stored in the funeral home. After the compensation came down, he and Wu wanted to find a cemetery and change him to a better place.
