Chapter 13 Chapter 13 The Seventh Drawing
The public screen was in chaos.
What did I see?
[Damn, damn, this is so scary! ]
【This is the morgue. 】
【Where are her eyes? 】
[Someone is seeking revenge, definitely seeking revenge! ]
…
When Pei Qing came out of that mysterious feeling, he saw his own paintings.
There is no clear dividing line in the painting, but the light and shadow are bright and dark, cutting the drawing vertically into two halves.
In the dark half, a female corpse was lying alone on the morgue bed, with two black holes on her face staring straight at her.
Pei Qing was startled.
Is she dead?
Pei Qing's heart started beating "boom boom boom" and there seemed to be a flash of blood in his eyes.
She seemed to have returned to many years ago, when a motorcycle was crossing an obstacle, but the body of the motorcycle suddenly bent sideways and crashed into a big tree next to it, and blood gushed out instantly.
For many years, Pei Qing could not tell whether it was a scene she had actually seen or just something she had imagined in her mind.
In the end, her father could only lie in pieces on the morgue bed.
"squeak--"
The chair scraped across the ground with a sharp sound. Pei Qing stood up and kept walking around.
what to do?
Judging from the drawing, the girl named Sun Xiuxiu is already dead.
But the timing was wrong. Every time she drew a draft, the time for it to come true was after the draft was completed. The current time difference is between one to three days.
Is it possible that Sun Xiuxiu is not dead yet?
Yes, very likely.
Pei Qing glanced at the public screen, which had already started howling.
[Wait, I didn’t find it. ]
【Maybe it’s not time yet.】
[Let me ask the family member, he happens to be a policeman as well.]
[This is City A, right? I remember this platform.]
[Does anyone know this woman? ]
[Wake up buddy, there are only a few people in our live broadcast room, the possibility of knowing her is too low. ]
[What kind of hatred or grudge is that? Dig out someone's eyes. 】
…
Pei Qing turned off the live broadcast room.
She paced around the room, finally making up her mind to pick up her phone and send a message.
Time seemed to be very slow, and just when Pei Qing could hardly hold back from making a phone call, his cell phone lit up.
The other party sent me a photo of a left ankle in a plaster cast.
Pei Qing: [What’s wrong with you? ]
Xu An: [Oh, you finally remembered that I am still alive. Tsk, is this how much you care about me?]
Pei Qing admitted his mistake: [I was wrong. ]
Xu An: [Of course you are wrong. Why? You want to come and see me?]
Pei Qing put his pro into his bag and asked: [Which hospital are you in? ]
Xu An: [Room 1222, Building 8, Derui. By the way, bring me some pig's trotters. I'm craving for them.]
Pei Qing: [OK]
She opened the curtains. It was still raining outside. She carried her tablet and an umbrella and rushed to Derry.
De Rui is a private hospital, and the floor where Xu An lives is full of single rooms.
When Pei Qing arrived with a bag of pig's trotters, he saw Xu An standing on one leg outside the ward. He watched her walk towards the corridor and waved.
Xu An: "Here I come."
Pei Qing looked at him carefully, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that he was in very good spirits.
Xu An: "What are you looking at? I'm not useless, come in!"
As soon as he entered the room, Pei Qing saw a tall and thin man sitting on a chair next to the coffee table, with his back straight and his exposed arms stiff.
She doesn't know.
Xu An jumped back onto the chair on one foot and introduced the two people.
He first pointed at Ji Wu and said, "This is my captain."
Then he pointed at Pei Qing and said, "Captain, this is my sister."
Pei Qing and Ji Wu greeted each other.
Perhaps it was because Ji Wu's staring posture was too obvious, Pei Qing frowned.
Xu An saw this and started to chase them away: "Okay, Captain, my sister is here, you can leave now."
Ji Wu: "Leave? Don't you want me to take care of you?"
Xu An: "Thank you, Captain. My sister is here. I don't need you anymore. Hehe."
He hurriedly drove the man away. After Ji Wu left and the door was closed, Xu An took out the pig's trotter from the plastic box and took a bite. After he finished, he calmed down and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Pei Qing sat opposite him and watched him chewing pig's trotters.
"Can't I come and see you?"
Xu An: "Come on, you're so disowned that you don't even recognize your relatives, and you still come to see me? There must be something wrong, otherwise you wouldn't come to me."
Pei Qing said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by not recognizing your relatives?"
She stared at Xu An's plastered ankle with a frown.
Xu An: "It's just a sprain, not a disability. Tell me what happened. Even though I have a cast on, I can't help you. If it really doesn't work, don't you still have your brother? We are all family, there is no overnight grudge. It's so good to go home. How much money can you earn by working hard in your rented house all day long..."
Seeing that he was about to start a long speech again, Pei Qing couldn't control her mouth and said, "What about you? How much money can you make as a policeman? You don't even make as much as I do! Is your salary enough for your gas money?"
Xu An couldn't chew the pig's trotter anymore.
"Who are you looking down on? I still have enough money for gas."
He said seriously, and then couldn't help laughing.
"It's okay if it's not enough, I'll spend my brother's money."
He nibbled at his elder brother with a clear conscience, and then said to Pei Qing: "You can nibble too, it only costs a few dollars."
Pei Qing: "I can support myself."
Here it comes again, I start to get stuck in a rut again.
Xu An didn't know what to say.
Xu An: "Yes, yes, yes."
He skipped the topic and asked, "What do you want from me?"
Pei Qing coughed lightly and asked, "Do you have an informant?"
The police should have informants.
Xu An nodded slightly.
Pei Qing: "Then help me find someone. A girl is missing and I haven't found her for two days."
Xu An: "Is she your friend? Someone you know in real life or online? Can't get through on the phone? Did she not reply to your message? Have you gone to her house to look for her? Have you contacted her parents and colleagues? Does she have a boyfriend? How does her boyfriend react? Or did she disconnect herself because she was in a bad mood?"
He asked a series of questions, but Pei Qing didn't know any of them.
Xu An didn't hear her answer. When he looked up, he saw Pei Qing staring at him without saying a word.
Xu An: "Don't tell me they don't want to talk to you, do they?"
Pei Qing took a deep breath before saying, "He's not my friend."
Xu An: "Then how did you know?"
Pei Qing looked around the room.
"You don't have surveillance here?"
Xu An: "Am I sick? I installed surveillance cameras where I live."
Pei Qing: "Are you sure?"
Xu An: "Can you have some confidence in me? I graduated from the police academy and have been a police officer for so many years. Can you trust my professionalism?"
Pei Qing looked at his plastered ankle, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
Xu An: "It's inevitable to be a police officer. How did you know that this woman was missing?"
Pei Qing confirmed again: "Really?"
Xu An affirmed, "Really? Look here, where is the place to install surveillance cameras?"
Pei Qing looked up at the ceiling, then at the ground, and even looked under the bed.
Nothing at all.
Pei Qing: "Then I feel relieved."
Xu An: "When did you become so vigilant?"
Pei Qing: “Recently.”
She opened the tablet and prepared to show it to Xu An.
Before watching, she took Xu An back to her youthful years.
"Brother, we grew up together, that's fifteen years together, right?"
Xu An's pig's trotters no longer tasted good.
Xu An: "What did you do? If there is something wrong, you should call my brother and ask him to prepare a lawyer. If nothing else, the lawyer at home is still very good--"
Pei Qing was dissatisfied: "Don't interrupt me all the time!"
Being lyrical!
Xu An: "Okay, okay, okay. The three of us plus my brother grew up together. There's nothing wrong. If anything happens, your family will definitely rescue you."
Pei Qing: "I didn't do anything wrong."
She continued, "You may not believe it, but I drew this girl. In my drawing, she was first dressed up and lying on the bed, then locked in the room, and the last scene was in the morgue with her eyes dug out! Something must have happened to her!"
Xu An put down the pig's trotter and touched her forehead.
It’s been such a short time since we last met, why is this sister so hysterical?
Pei Qing shook off his hand and said angrily: "Don't touch me with your hand that has touched pig's trotters! What I said is true!"
She handed the tablet to Xu An and asked him to look at it himself.
Xu An wiped his hands and looked at the drawings arranged on the tablet one by one. He flipped through them over and over again.
He knew the content of the first draft, and the mother-in-law was still in prison.
In the second picture, some of the victims of the bus loss-of-control accident have now turned into ashes, while others are still lying in the hospital.
As for the following paintings, the more Xu An looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong.
He knew that Pei Qing had never been the type to talk nonsense since he was a child, and he would not joke about such things at this time.
Xu An asked seriously: "When did this happen?"
Pei Qing: "Just these few days, help me look for her first, if I don't find her, she will be dead!"
Xu An immediately said, "I'll ask someone to find it. Also, I want to ask you, how long have you been in this situation?"
Pei Qing: "At the end of last month, I broke my knee."
Xu An: "You fell and got hurt? Who's going to take care of you? You didn't even tell your family."
Pei Qing disagreed: "You didn't even tell me that you had a cast on your leg."
Xu An looked at her speechlessly and said, "Brother knows. Hey? You are injured and you are lying alone in the rental house?"
Pei Qing: "It's the 21st century now. Food delivery can be delivered to your door. I'm an adult and I can take care of myself. Don't make me look like a poor little thing. I have friends too!"
Xu An: "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you."
He continued to look at the drawings, focusing on the second to last one, the figure locked in the room.
Xu An: "This is blood. These things on the ground are wrong."
Pei Qing: "What's wrong?"
How can I see clearly in such darkness!
Xu An: "These quilts, glasses, and this chair on the ground can form a straight line."
Pei Qing also looked over: "And then?"
Xu An: "It doesn't look like she smashed it to pieces out of anger. If she did, the things she smashed on the ground wouldn't be like this, and she wouldn't have gotten herself covered in blood. Also, both of her feet were injured."
Pei Qing: "Maybe she has psychological problems because she has been locked up for too long? Or maybe she didn't drop these things?"
Her drawing only depicts a moment and does not give the whole story.
Xu An: "I'm not sure. Send me these pictures."
Pei Qing: "Oh."
After she sent the photo, she asked Xu An: "If someone asks you why you looked for her, what would you say?"
Xu An: "Didn't you tell me? You said that this is someone my informant knows, but I couldn't get in touch with him recently, so you asked me to try to find him. I have nothing else to do, so I helped find him."
Pei Qing praised: "Perfect!"
Xu An: "Okay, I know better than you how to fool your colleagues."
Pei Qing: "Also, the person who asked me to write the article told me that Sun Xiuxiu once took a gold bracelet from someone in a pyramid scheme. Could it be revenge? But I also heard her say that all the pyramid schemers were arrested. Could there be some who slipped through the net?"
Xu An: "I'll ask my colleagues."
He sent a few messages and looked at the time. It was already half past eleven.
Xu An glanced at Pei Qing. It was so late, he couldn't let Pei Qing go back at night.
Xu An: "I'll get you a single room next door. You can sleep here tonight."
Pei Qing didn't care: "Sure. Can the hospital open a single room even if there's no illness?"
Xu An: "Our hospital can."
Pei Qing: “…”
＊
At four in the morning, Perry was walking his dog as usual.
Perry asked, "Xiao K, where are you going today?"
Little K is a Malinois, a retired police dog. He is very smart. Perry took a lot of effort to adopt him, and he usually respects the ideas of this retired police dog.
Xiao K stepped left and right on the spot, and finally chose the south.
Perry smiled: "You ran in the north yesterday and ran in the south today. Xiao K, you really treat everyone equally."
As a joke, he took Xiao K and ran south.
The south is not considered an urban area. Compared with the densely packed high-rise buildings, this side is more open. There are factories everywhere, with a lot of vegetation in the middle and many intermittent small woods.
Perry started running with Little K. Originally, he was just walking the dog as usual, but gradually, Little K started to move in different directions.
"Little K."
Soon, Perry discovered that Xiao K's movement direction was related to the wind direction.
Perry: "What do you smell?"
Xiao K ran for a while, then stopped and looked at Perry.
Perry watched its body quickly pass through the fence and enter a small forest of trees.
Perry had no choice but to follow it into the woods.
Soon, Xiao K stopped between several trees.
The leaves rustled in the wind, and a few leaves fell on Perry.
Perry: "What's wrong?"
Xiao K sniffed the ground, took a few more steps, continued sniffing, and then looked up at Perry.
Seeing that Perry didn't move, Little K began to dig with his claws.
Perry: "You asked me to dig, why? I don't have a shovel, I can't dig with my bare hands, right?"
Seeing that this new human didn't move, Little K could only walk over and bite his trouser leg.
Perry was convinced, remembering that when he adopted him, the trainer said that Xiao K used to be a criminal investigator.
Perry said, "Xiao K, you don't want me to dig up the body, do you? I won't be a suspect, right?"
The tension on his pants hadn't disappeared yet, and Perry was helpless: "Okay, okay, I'll dig it, I'll dig it, isn't it okay?"
As he squatted down and dug the soil with his bare hands, he said to Xiao K: "Fortunately, there are not many people here, otherwise we would be acting sneakily! Xiao K, look how much I love you!"
When the mud on the ground piled up into a ball, Perry smelled a strange odor in the air. He paused, but finally stopped under Xiao K's expectant gaze.
Pei Rui said seriously: "Xiao K, let's call the police."
Xiao K's eyes drooped and Perry touched his head.
Twenty minutes later, the police car arrived.
Several policemen and forensic doctors formed a circle to prevent Perry from getting close.
Perry: "What's going on?"
The forensic doctor had a complicated expression. The moment the body was dug out, several policemen discovered that there were only two black holes left at the eyes of the body.
