Chapter 12 Chapter 12 The Seventh Drawing
Pei Qing stayed up all night, and when she woke up it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
She glanced at her phone dazedly, then immediately sat up.
It's already three o'clock.
She casually tied her hair up with a rubber band, then opened her tablet to look at her sketch from last night.
It's not a dream.
She actually drew it!
The tones of the drawing are dark, and the whole painting has a messy and disordered feeling.
Pei Qing tapped the screen, zoomed in on the image, and fixed his sight on the girl lying on the door.
She should be young, and she was wearing a red dress——
wrong!
Pei Qing continued to enlarge the skirt. The coloring of this skirt was uneven. She remembered that the girl wore a burgundy skirt last time, not this one.
No, this shape doesn't look like staining, it looks more like a fingerprint.
It's too dark.
Pei Qing kept brightening the screen, and finally found darker marks on the floor under the skirt.
No, it's not the color of the skirt, it's blood!
Pei Qing's gaze was fixed on the skirt. In the drawing, he could only see the girl's back, not her face, and of course her expression.
She continued looking at the window. The window looked like a small window in a bedroom. This should be a bedroom.
Where would this place with wire mesh sealing windows be?
Are you near Hongmen?
But when she went to Hongmen, she quickly took a look at the houses there. The windows in Hongmen were not like this wire mesh. They were the kind of lightweight screens that could be opened to the left and right, which was obviously different from this wire mesh.
Pei Qing rubbed his head and felt a little headache.
She took a piece of toast from the refrigerator, put it in the microwave, ate it in a few bites, and then went out with her brown bag on her back.
Pei Qing rode his electric scooter to Hongmen again.
This time she was very cautious, wearing a baggy T-shirt and pants, a black sun hat, and also carrying a mask.
Pei Qing rode his electric scooter past the Hongmen Vegetable Market. The market was open in the morning, but the doors were already closed at this time.
Pei Qing took a casual look, and his focus was still on the residential buildings here.
Most of the residential buildings are bungalows, with the occasional high-rise building being only five stories high at most.
Pei Qing looked up and saw the gauze curtain rustling in the wind.
Not this kind.
She lowered her head and continued riding forward.
Pei Qing was puzzled. Even if the house was locked and the windows were sealed, as long as the girl screamed for help, people nearby would be able to hear the noise.
Why didn't anyone save her?
Because the soundproofing is so good, no one heard it?
It's not that Pei Qing looked down on the buildings here. To be honest, even in the house she rented now, as long as there was a disco upstairs, she would definitely hear the noise. Unless special materials are used to soundproof the buildings now, the soundproofing effect is very average.
So maybe it’s not that no one heard it, but that there was no one nearby?
Pei Qing glanced at the buildings near Hongqiao. The houses here are densely packed, so it is unlikely that no one heard it.
If not here, where?
Pei Qing looked at the street. Several street urchins were squatting under a tree, and no one knew what they were doing.
She stopped her electric scooter, turned on the navigation and searched the surrounding area.
There are many vegetable markets and supermarkets nearby. There is also a wholesale market five or six kilometers away, and a glass products company a little further away...
Pei Qing continued riding forward. Although there were not many people in the wholesale market, people were constantly coming in and out, so he ruled out this place for the time being.
When he arrived at the glass products company, Pei Qingcai discovered that the navigation said it was a company, but in fact there was also a factory.
Pei Qing was doubtful and rode his electric scooter around the factory. He found that the windows outside the factory were not the same as the windows in the drawing. The windows on the factory were all connected together and were not as small as the windows in the bedroom.
Pei Qing had no choice but to leave.
"drop-"
Pei Qing suddenly felt a chill on her face. She looked up at the sky and saw a few raindrops falling.
It's raining!
She didn't bring an umbrella.
Pei Qing had no choice but to ride forward, passing by groves, glass factories, groves, wholesale markets, etc.
The raindrops were very small at first, but soon heavy rain followed. The rain was fast and heavy, and soon all fell on Pei Qing.
Pei Qing temporarily found a bus stop to shelter from the rain. She tried her best to hide inside the platform. After avoiding the first wave of rain, the sky became gloomy.
Damn! What luck!
Is there rain in the weather forecast today?
You really can't blame Pei Qing. She's a painter who stays at home. Who has time to check the weather?
Pei Qing opened the phone and took a look at it, then put it back angrily, and rubbed it on his clothes a few times to wipe off the water stains on the phone.
She looked up at the sky silently, and when she saw that the rain had stopped, she rode her bike quickly towards home.
＊
It was already seven o'clock when I got home. Normally, seven o'clock in the summer is still bright, but because of the heavy rain today, the sky was gloomy, just like Pei Qing's mood.
When she got home, she looked at the time and realized it was time to prepare for the live broadcast.
She can't fail to make money twice in three days. How can she make money?
She opened the live broadcast background and found that Orange had sent her many messages.
Lin Cheng had been sending her messages since the morning, and she did not hide anything and explained everything clearly as Qian Ya requested.
So, Pei Qing found out that the boy who had just been found was not even 18 years old, had mistakenly entered a pyramid scheme, and had stolen things when he ran away.
What a courage.
Orange: [Madam, let's draw another family portrait tonight! I'm sure you can draw it this time! ]
Pei Qing had no hope for this. Through her drawings, she knew that the problem was not with the cousin, but with the girl.
The girl must have disappeared.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Pei Qing started the live broadcast.
"Orange Biting Its Tail" came in at the right moment and quickly made a request, asking Pei Qing to draw another family portrait and throwing a lot of gifts at him.
Someone asked on the public screen:
[Very confident, is the problem solved? ]
Lin Cheng typed: [Of course it’s solved. ]
[Something really happened to your cousin. What did he do? Can you tell me about it? ]
Lin Cheng ignored these people.
The public screen became lively.
[Is this true? Are you kidding?]
[Speak out loud for everyone to hear. We are not outsiders. We are all in the same live broadcast room. 】
【Handshake of like-minded people. 】
[Stop drawing your stupid family portrait all day long. Why don’t you just go take a photo? Why bother with all that?]
Lin Cheng: [Just draw! Does it bother you? ]
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Pei Qing immediately opened the blank drawing and tapped the edge of it with his finger, indicating that he was about to start.
The sound of fingers tapping on the tablet echoed in the live broadcast room.
【Tsk.】
[It has begun. Stop arguing. ]
[This knock is so touching. ]
[Who knew I came here to see her hands in the first place? Look at these green and beautiful hands. ]
…
Pei Qing ignored the public screen and picked up the draft and started drawing.
She no longer needed to look at the family's photos, as Pei Qing knew their appearance by heart.
She began to paint, and soon a young man appeared on the drawing.
[Hey, I remember, this is the guy at the bus stop. Hey, the one above, is this your cousin? ]
[It’s not easy, but I was able to draw this family portrait today. ]
Lin Cheng smiled, but her smile soon disappeared.
Pei Qing drew the draft very quickly and soon finished half of it.
Zhu Wang stood by the door, Qian Ya beside him holding his shoulders. Opposite them stood two men in police uniforms.
Lin Cheng roared in his heart: What's going on? It has something to do with the police, right?
She continued to look at the drawing, and Pei Qing quickly completed it.
One of the policemen held a photo in his right hand, but the photo was not clear.
At this moment, a hand on the public screen enlarged the screen and began to fill it with the photo.
Under the gaze of the public screen audience, the photo revealed the facial features of a girl.
Lin Cheng looked carefully and found that it was not a photo, but a half-body sketch.
She knew this girl. Wasn't she the girl who stood on the platform with Zhu Wang that day?
Something happened to her?
At the same time, Pei Qing continued to paint, and on the other half of the painting, another shocking scene appeared.
There was a female corpse lying on the morgue bed. The body looked slightly decayed, but the girl's face could be vaguely seen.
But if you look more closely, you can see that there are two black holes on the girl's face.
She has no eyes!
