In 2015, freshly graduated, Pei Qing was a struggling artist barely making ends meet. Following a friend's suggestion, she started live-streaming her drawing, trying to generate income. Her luc...
Chapter 119 Chapter 119 New Drawing
Wu Miao gave Pei Qing and the other two the address of the dance hall's owner at the time.
Wu Miao: "The dance hall closed down a few years ago. Brother Nan bought the land in East Square and built an amusement park there. Business is still good..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Miao's wife glared at him: "What a good you! What did you promise me? You said you would break up with that side and live a good life! You cheap men talk like farts. I was really blind to fall in love with you back then!"
Wu Miao: "When our daughter was born, Brother Nan gave her a gift..."
Wu Miao's wife: "Get lost! Wu Miao, let's get a divorce before you die, so that I won't become a widow and my reputation will be ruined!"
Wu Miao: "You're almost there..."
…
The two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, and even the benches were brought up.
Xu An went up and used force to stop the couple and finally they calmed down.
Why did the quarrel culminate in a fight?
When walking out of the shop, Pei Qing looked back and saw the couple hugging each other again, one crying and the other coaxing. Pei Qing turned his head away with something to say.
The speed of reconciliation is too fast.
“Are you playing us?”
She couldn't help but question it.
Xu An went to find Peng Nan according to the address he had.
Xu An: "Why do you care? If there is no clue, we will have to come back to find them. Their daughter is still young, so they can't run away for a while."
Yang Xingping: "I know this playground."
He opened his phone and took a look at the reviews.
“Rated pretty high, 4.9.”
Pei Qing scrolled up and down to scroll through the reviews. Some were long, some were short, some had pictures, some did not. Except for a few bad reviews, the overall ratings were good. It seemed that this amusement park was indeed very profitable.
Pei Qing and the other two drove to find Peng Nan. Peng Nan is 49 years old this year. Looking at the photo, he looks very energetic and has a well-controlled body shape. He does not have the beer belly that is common among middle-aged men.
The three of them arrived at the amusement park, quickly walked through the crowded crowd, and headed straight for Peng Nan's office.
Peng Nan's office is on the northwest side of the amusement park. Tourists are not allowed to enter this area, and only staff wearing red vests are walking around.
After Xu An showed his police officer ID, the staff contacted the boss by phone and then politely led the police to the back office.
As soon as he entered the office, he was hit by a gust of cold air and Pei Qing shivered.
The air conditioning is turned on really high!
Peng Nan was originally looking at the computer. When he saw someone pushing the door in, he stood up slowly.
"Police comrade, nice to meet you! Please take a seat!"
Peng Nan is a member of society and he cooperated very well with the police investigation.
As soon as Xu An asked Liu Xiaodie, he spoke as if he had been prepared.
"Liu Xiaodie, I know this woman!"
When talking about Liu Xiaodie, Peng Nan had a lot to say.
"This woman is a frequent visitor to the dance hall. She dances freely and everyone likes her."
Pei Qing: "You all like her?"
Peng Nan savored this sentence for a moment, and then continued without changing his expression: "I mean everyone. Haha, everyone likes girls who are pretty, speak well, and dance well. Of course, as a boss, I welcome them too!"
Xu An: "Did you know that Liu Xiaodie and Hu Bohusen live together?"
Peng Nan: “I’ve heard of it.”
He gave a meaningful expression.
Pei Qing observed his expression and Peng Nan seemed to be somewhat averse to the relationship between these three people.
Xu An: "Since Liu Xiaodie is so popular, why is she with Hu Sen and Hu Bai? The combined financial conditions of Hu Sen and Hu Bai are not as good as the wealthy guests in your dance hall."
Peng Nan smiled and said, "Everyone pursues different things. Liu Xiaodie is not after money."
This is interesting.
Peng Nan’s statement does not match that of Wu Miao’s wife.
Wu Miao's wife said that Liu Xiaodie was entirely dependent on the brothers Hu Sen and Hu Bai for support.
In a sense, she and Liu Xiaodie have a conflict, so her words cannot be fully trusted.
But what Peng Nan said was a bit strange.
If Liu Xiaodie doesn't want money, what does she want?
Under the gaze of the police, Peng Nan rubbed his feet on the gray and white tiles.
"I haven't seen Liu Xiaodie for a long time. There's no need to hide it for her."
Peng Nan: "Liu Xiaodie is a beautiful woman. Beautiful women always have very strong personalities. For example, Liu Xiaodie likes to attract men's attention and see men devote themselves to her."
Pei Qing: "Pay? Including fighting in a black boxing match?"
Peng Nan smiled and said, "That's just a formality. It's Liu Xiaodie's way of confirming that the other party will do everything for her without hesitation."
Pei Qing's eyelids jumped and he asked, "So Liu Xiaodie really asked Hu Sen and Hu Bai to fight for her?"
Peng Nan smiled: "I don't know about this, but there have been some rumors among the customers. Some customers were impulsive after drinking and promised Liu Xiaodie, but they didn't dare to go the next day after they sobered up. After all, there are people who have become disabled after fighting in underground boxing. Liu Xiaodie's face is not worth the customers' sacrifice..."
*
The amusement park was bustling with people. Pei Qing looked at the laughing crowd and the roller coaster rushing towards him in the distance, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Based on the questions asked by Wu Miao, Wu Miao's wife and Peng Nan, it can be confirmed that Liu Xiaodie is indeed not a woman who is submissive.
She is beautiful and capable, and at least she accurately found Hu Sen and Hu Bo, two people who are willing to risk their lives for her.
Pei Qing had a hunch that the place where Hu Sen and Hu Bo went to fight black boxing was definitely not limited to underground black boxing.
The three of them returned to the office again and analyzed and summarized the current clues.
Liu Xiaodie, Hu Sen and Hu Bo were all people Nie He once knew. By combining these people with the underground black boxing, a new chain of clues emerged.
Xu An found the video footage he had discovered in front of the tomb.
Yang Xingping watched it again. The wailing sounds and spreading blood in the video made him feel cold all over.
Xu An: "Let's assume that Hu Sen and Hu Bo went to fight in the underworld for Liu Xiaodie. According to Wu Miao's wife, Hu Sen and Hu Bo's financial conditions are not very good, so fighting in the underworld is indeed a way to make money if he can win."
Pei Qing tried to project his thoughts onto Liu Xiaodie: "Liu Xiaodie wants attention, which should be similar to unconditional love, so she must want to witness Hu Sen and Hu Bo fighting for her. She will be happy only if she sees it in person."
Yang Xingping: "When we were cracking down on gangs last year, I remember hearing in the news that underground boxing rings had been shut down. Where can I find someone who knows about underground black boxing?"
Xu An: "This is not difficult. The leader is still in prison. You can visit him."
He thought for a moment and said to Pei Qing, "Yang Xingping and I will go, you stay in the office."
Pei Qing: "I want to visit the prison too."
Xu An pressed her into the chair.
"You are not needed in the men's prison. You stay well and be prepared at all times."
Pei Qing watched Xu An and Yang Xingping leave and curled his lips.
She took out the tablet again and made a new discovery today.
Pei Qing bit the tip of the pen and thought, maybe Nie He knew the place in the video for the first time not because of the missing person, but because Liu Xiaodie, out of a twisted mentality, came into contact with a certain place, similar to the bloody and violent underground black boxing place. Liu Xiaodie asked Hu Sen and Hu Bai to go, but Hu Sen and Hu Bai never came back.
Nie He somehow learned about these places, and then killed Nie Guangwen in order to seize the family property.
This place is full of blood and violence. Some of the people involved may have been kidnapped, or they may have gone there on their own initiative for some purpose. Pei Qing was lost in his emotions, his eyes half open, and he began to write and draw on the tablet.
After half an hour, the screen gradually filled up.
He was a man standing at the bus stop, standing next to the bus stop sign. He was about 1.9 meters tall. He was holding a luggage bag in his right hand and answering the phone with his left hand.
The man had a square face and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line. He was obviously under pressure.
In the distance, the bus was less than a hundred meters away from the man.
The large flashing screen in front of the bus showed Route 103 (Airport Line).
