Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Accident
Pei Qing and Yang Xingping are checking the surveillance footage.
They retrieved the hotel surveillance footage where Zhong Chun was staying under the alias Li Yunshi.
After careful comparison, it was determined that two people were not caught.
Where did these two people go?
Considering these people and Zhong Chun's return to China, Pei Qing and the other two focused their investigation on Li Yeming.
A simple case of missing international students eventually involved people from different countries. After Xu An reported to Director Shen, he continued the investigation.

At three o'clock in the morning, Pei Qing was sitting in the car eating biscuits.
Xu An rushed in from outside and saw that Pei Qing's biscuit crumbs were falling sparsely. He snatched the biscuit from Pei Qing's hand, took a bite of it himself, and found that it tasted salty and sweet, so he stuffed the biscuit back into Pei Qing's hand.
Pei Qing: "Eat, why don't you eat?"
Xu An said unhappily: "You didn't buy this for me to eat."
Yang Xingping's voice came from the headset: "What do you want to eat? Give me some."
Pei Qing smiled and said, "Biscuits, would you like some?"
Yang Xingping didn't like such dry things and didn't even respond.
The stars were dim at night, and the only sound you could hear was the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Xu An was watching the surveillance video. Pei Qing would glance at it from time to time and then continue drawing on his tablet.
In the surveillance video, a corner of the gauze curtain at the end of the corridor was blown open, and it swung in the air at an angle from time to time.
Xu An stared at it for a few seconds and found something wrong.
He immediately straightened up and called Zeng Jingyang, but the phone didn't ring.
Xu An made a prompt decision and got out of the car and quickly ran towards the floor where Li Yeming was.
Pei Qing saw Xu An running away and immediately reported his location to Yang Xingping.
"Something must have happened in Li Yeming's ward."
*
The moonlight was bright, Li Yeming was kicked to the ground, and Zeng Jingyang kicked him under the bed while dealing with the sudden assailant.
It was quite difficult for him to deal with two people at once.
Zeng Jingyang had just dodged a kick towards his heart, while judging that the opponent's style was not like that of a domestic one, and seemed to be from a gang.
Before Xu An arrived at the ward, he heard the sound of fighting inside.
He became anxious and took a few steps into the ward. Zeng Jingyang's face was covered in sweat and his right arm was stabbed and bloody. Xu An's pupils constricted when he saw it.
Xu An immediately took out his headset and a sound was heard in the air.
"Bang--"
There was a sound like a body falling to the ground. Yang Xingping stopped running and immediately looked at the window. He saw a figure stumbling out of the hospital.
Yang Xingping looked at the height, immediately climbed out the window and climbed down the water pipe.
There are only two of us, we can't let this guy get away.
*
Just after daybreak, a police car roared by and took away two transnational people who were resisting stubbornly.
Li Yeming was carried to the hospital bed, but when he looked at Xu An, his eyes were still full of hatred.
Xu An dragged a chair to sit next to him and found it funny that Li Yeming breathed in more than he exhaled.
He dipped the cotton swab in alcohol and pressed it on the wound on Li Yeming's face. Li Yeming raised his hand with difficulty, trying to knock the cotton swab off his face.
Xu An: "What? You're not used to it yet? I've told you that taking too much painkillers is not good. Look, you're not used to the pain yet!"
There was a sarcasm in his words. Pei Qing sat behind Xu An, looked at Li Yeming's old face, and lowered his head again.
She just drew a sketch of Li Yeming and sent it to Li Muxu.
Li Muxu replied with a question mark, and a phone call came in.
Pei Qing looked at Xu An again, felt that nothing would happen, and walked out of the ward to answer the phone.
Li Muxu: "Why did you go to the hospital?"
Pei Qing: "Li Yeming almost died last night!"
She said to Li Muxu on the phone: "It must be his former enemies who came to seek revenge! He has done so many bad things!"
Li Muxu: "What did the doctor say?"
doctor?
Xu An was taking personal revenge inside and didn't let the doctor in at all.
Pei Qing: "Xu An is questioning inside."
Li Muxu knew Xu An's character very well.
"I'll be there soon. Is Xu An so free?"
Pei Qing promised: "I will drag him away immediately."
Xu An and Pei Qing did not meet Li Muxu. When Yang Xingping took the two criminals back to the police station, he found out the identity of one of them through facial recognition.
This man's name is Rana Jinami. On the Interpol wanted list, he has five or six former names, and Rana Jinami is the name he uses most often.
Last August, he kidnapped a local rich second-generation man in Liverpool. During the kidnapping, Rana had a conflict with the victim, resulting in the victim suffocating to death. Rana then quickly threw the body into the sewer and began to escape.
The victim's family was dissatisfied with the speed of the police's response, and then used their connections to find Interpol and put Rana on the wanted list.
And now, Rana was locked up in the interrogation room by Yang Xingping.
As soon as Pei Qing and Xu An arrived at the police station, Yang Xingping handed them a stack of information.
Pei Qing quickly flipped through it and found the relevant information of the victim.
Pei Qing pointed at the stranglehold on the neck in the photo and said, "Is this a handprint? Was the victim strangled to death by Rana? So Zhong Chun was lucky not to be strangled to death."
Yang Xingping: "Interpol has sent someone here. They are on the way and have sent the information over. In exchange, they want to take Rana away."
Pei Qing: "What kind of information do you want to exchange for a living person? We can't do this business at a loss!"
She continued to search and soon the second victim appeared.
Pei Qing: "Are there others?"
Yang Xingping glanced at Xu An and continued, "Yes, except for the first victim who died, all the others are missing—"
He paused, organized his words, and then continued: "I think we can investigate further."
Xu An snatched the information from Pei Qing's hand and took a look.
He flipped quickly, but his face remained calm.
Pei Qing patted him on the back to calm him down.
Pei Qing: "Don't worry."
There are a total of three missing persons in this file. According to relevant witnesses and surveillance, Rana had contact with the missing persons.
Considering Rana’s previous kidnapping record, this person is highly suspected of committing a crime, so Interpol has always included Rana on the wanted list.
The three missing persons are all male. The youngest is 17 years old and of Chinese descent, and the oldest is 48 years old, already a middle-aged man.
Their identities, family backgrounds, and social statuses are different, but the time of their disappearances is close. If it was really Rana who did it, then his criminal behavior must have been continuous and there must be more than four victims.
The three missing persons are most likely dead.
Pei Qing looked at Xu An worriedly, and she felt inexplicably panicked.
*
Yang Xingping stopped Xu An and entered the interrogation room first.
Rana was a tough guy. Unlike his other accomplices, he pretended not to understand Chinese and answered all the police's questions.
He speaks fluent Chinese, except for an occasional strange accent.
"Name?"
"Rana."
"Where is your origin?"
Rana stared at the policeman in front of him without moving his eyes, and Yang Xingping suddenly felt as if a thorn in his back was attached.
Yang Xingping: “Is it difficult to answer?”
Lana: "Just thinking back--"
His eyes inadvertently swept across the ceiling and then fell on Yang Xingping.
"I'm so sorry, I don't even know where I was born."
Having said that, there was no apologetic look on his face.
Yang Xingping knew that Rana was beating around the bush with him, and since there was no other sound coming from the headset, he continued asking.
*
Outside the interrogation room, Pei Qing held a tablet and drew a sketch of Lana.
With just a few light strokes, Rana's figure was outlined.
However, the light and shadow in the painting are dim, half of Rana's face is hidden in the darkness, while the other half shows a smile and looks out of the picture.
Pei Qing stared at the sketch and sensed this mysterious and bizarre atmosphere.
She looked at Rana through the glass again. Rana had a sense of laziness. He was convicted of attempted murder, but he could still sit in the interrogation room so calmly. He was not even afraid of letting something slip, and he answered questions in Chinese.
Rana is quite proud and is able to quickly move on from the outcome of the attempted murder, not feeling sorry for the result at all, this apathy is combined with his arrogance.
Pei Qing thought for a moment. Such a person could fail once. She didn't believe that Lana's previous tasks had all gone smoothly. There must be omissions.
