Chapter 18 Chapter 18 The Eighth Drawing
The deceased's gold bracelet was particularly eye-catching. When Xu An and Ji Wu arrived at the scene, they immediately thought of Ma Youlin who was imprisoned.
What a coincidence.
Xu An watched the body being salvaged from shore and sent back to the Forensic Office.
He returned to the office, found the file sent by Puhe Police Station, and found a name.
Ying Cuicui is Ma Youlin's lover, and they have been together for three or four years.
According to the investigation by the Puhe Police Station, Ying Cuicui and Ma Youlin met in a nightclub and quickly fell in love with each other. Their relationship lasted until Ma Youlin's pyramid scheme was busted, and then Ma Youlin and Ying Cuicui disappeared.
Now Ma Youlin has been detained, so what about Ying Cuicui?
Xu An said to Ji Wu, "She is from City A. Let's ask her parents to do a DNA test."
Ji Wu agreed with him: "You also think it was Ying Cuicui?"
Xu An: "The characteristics are too obvious. And Puhe hasn't found Ying Cuicui in so many days. It's possible that she was murdered."
Unfortunately, the body was severely decomposed and the face could not be identified.
The police notified Ying Cuicui’s family overnight.
The next morning, it was not Ying Cuicui's parents who rushed to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but Ying Cuicui's brother.
Fang Jie took him to get samples and asked if there were any obvious characteristics on Ying Cuicui.
Ying Cuicui's elder brother Ying Rong is already fifty years old this year. According to him, Ying Cuicui was born when her parents were old. She is more than twenty years younger than him, her elder brother. Her family spoils her on weekdays and they really can't control her. They didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Faced with the police's questioning, Ying Rong cooperated with the police but still held on to a slight hope.
"When Cuicui was a child, she fell off the bed and broke the little finger bone on her right hand. Police officer, you mean you are not sure that she is my sister, right?"
Fang Jie: "Everything will have to wait until the DNA results come out."
Ying Rong was worried: "I hope it's not. My parents couldn't sleep after receiving a call from the police station some time ago. If it is really confirmed that it is my sister, life will be unbearable."
Seeing that the grown man looked flustered, Fang Jie said to him, "If you have nothing to do, just wait here or go out for a walk. The results will be out by tonight at the latest."
Ying Rong rubbed his hands: "Okay, okay, thank you, police comrade."

Pei Qing and Li Muxu came to the police station in the morning to make up their statements.
As for why the two men suddenly appeared in the abandoned factory, Li Muxu explained that they were planning to buy a factory, and Pei Qing happened to trip over a sewer and saw the underground floor. Of course, risk assessments must be done when purchasing assets, so they directly asked the construction team to dig it out and take a look, and then they dug out an underground cage.
Pei Qing quietly watched Li Muxu talking nonsense.
Regardless of whether the police believed it or not, Pei Qing felt that Li Muxu was quite capable of making up stories.
What's the point of buying this abandoned factory?
After finishing the record, the two did not wait for Xu An. They heard that Xu An was busy. Once there was a case, Xu An basically had no personal time.
Pei Qing and Li Muxu walked out of the police station. When they stepped out of the first floor, Pei Qing saw a middle-aged man sitting awkwardly on the sofa. He was obviously very nervous and his hands and feet were almost out of control.
Pei Qing asked the police officer who brought them out: "Are these the victim's family members?"
The policeman took a look and didn't deny it: "How did you know?"
Pei Qing: "The suspects should be locked up upstairs."
The policeman was amused by her.
"I can't tell you more, so I won't send you any more."
Pei Qing and Li Muxu walked out of the police station.
*
Li Muxu was driving today, thank God, he didn't mention going home today.
Pei Qing was really scared. Talking about this kind of thing too much would hurt feelings.
She sat in the passenger seat and Li Muxu handed her a pen.
Pei Qing was surprised: "What is this?"
Li Muxu tapped the pen cap: "There's a miniature camera inside."
Pei Qing was curious: "Hey? Do you have a recording?"
Li Muxu: "Take it. Are you going to see Yao Tan today?"
Pei Qing: "Yes, there should be a lot of people in the ophthalmology department at this time. I'll go take a look around."
After saying that, she looked at Li Muxu: "You want to go with me? Aren't you going to work?"
Li Muxu glanced at her and said, "Don't you want me to go?"
Pei Qing thought it was unnecessary: "I'm just going for a walk. It's in public and the hospital has a lot of surveillance. How can it be dangerous? Okay, go to work! I can go by subway or bus."
Li Muxu: "I'll take you there."
Pei Qing put on her mask and hat, opened the passenger door, and before getting out of the car, she said, "What are you sending? It's not on my way."
After that, she put her right elbow against the car door and encouraged him, "Brother, work hard to make money. Xu An and I together can't make as much as you do in one day in 20 or 30 years. Work hard and make progress every day. You don't need to do anything for such a small matter."
Li Muxu's eyebrows jumped as he watched Pei Qing put the pen in his jacket pocket, then turned around and walked towards the subway station in a cool manner.
Li Muxu couldn't help but reflect on what was wrong with her family's education. Why were they all stubborn? Both Xu An and she were stubborn.
＊
Pei Qing took the subway to Dongjiang International Hospital.
As soon as she exited the subway, she walked another 500 meters to the hospital gate.
Pei Qing looked down at his phone. The ophthalmology department was on the fourth floor of Building 4.
She took the elevator directly to the fourth floor.
Dongjiang International Hospital has always had a good reputation, and the ophthalmology clinic is full of people at this time.
Pei Qing looked up at the screen on the wall, and a new call number information just popped up on the screen.
"Please ask Dr. Yao Tan's patient No. 9, Qiu Siming, to come to the clinic No. 3."
The number was called three times in total.
Yao Tan is in Clinic No. 3.
Pei Qing looked at the people coming and going outside the clinic, glanced at the clinic number on the door, and walked towards Room 3.
Sitting on a chair in Clinic No. 3 was a boy of seven or eight years old in school uniform, with a man and a woman standing next to him, who should be the boy's parents.
The boy was quite active, so the doctor patiently asked him to put his chin on the instrument and look straight ahead.
Pei Qing stood at the door and looked for a few seconds, then walked to the side.
Outside the clinic, there were many people like her waiting outside. Pei Qing did not seem out of place, and the doctor did not even look at her.
Dr. Yao is quite patient.
Pei Qing pressed the pen to stop recording.
Yao Qin was not wearing a mask just now. Pei Qing took out the drawings saved in her mobile phone and looked at them, focusing on the eyes.
It's him, that's right!
But what is his relationship with the missing Jane Mei?
Just as Pei Qing was thinking, he suddenly heard a boy crying loudly.
Pei Qing was startled out of nowhere. She walked towards the waiting area in the hall and saw a little boy of three or four years old crying loudly.
The little boy's father held a bottle of eye drops in his hand. The bottle cap had just been opened. His hand paused in mid-air and he apologized to the people around him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is the first time my child has used mydriasis eye drops."
As he was coaxing her, the mother next to him pressed the child down on the recliner with one hand and pried open the child's eyelids with the other hand, saying to the man, "That's it. We've already wasted half an hour here."
The little boy refused with his hands and feet, and hit his mother several times. His mother was so angry that she walked out with her bag.
Before leaving, he said, "Let him cry."
Leaving behind the little boy howling even louder.
Pei Qing stood silently against the wall. The child's crying was so irritating. Children were indeed the scariest.
Just as she moved back, Yao Tan came out.
The child's crying just now could be heard throughout the department.
Yao Qin took a few candies in his hand and walked up to the child.
Seeing this, my father hurriedly said, "Doctor Yao, look, these eye drops really can't go in."
Yao Qin looked gentle and not impatient: "No hurry, let him rest for a while, don't let his voice become hoarse from crying. Have some candy."
The father at the side said with embarrassment: "I trouble you every time."
Pei Qing thought: Oh my God, this child is not the first time here, and it is definitely not the first time he cries.
Yao Qin handed the candy to the child, who took it and rushed into his father's arms again.
His father explained: "The kid is embarrassed, haha."
Yao Qin: "It's okay. This time, just like last time, it's okay not to dilate the pupils. He resisted too much. I'll give you another checkup."
The child's father thanked him: "Thank you, Dr. Yao."
At this time, the child's mother calmed down and came in from outside. Yao Qin asked the family to come over and get the bill.
After the family left, the waiting area became noticeably noisier.
"This kid is scary."
"Oh really, can't you just coax her?"
…
Pei Qing walked a few steps outside and heard the nurse at the reception desk say, "Doctor Yao is really good-tempered."
"Every time I meet this kind of kid, my ears hurt."
“It sucks to have this happen every week.”
Just then, a woman in a long-sleeved white dress walked to the reception desk.
When the two nurses saw her, they burst out laughing.
"Hey, isn't this our Rongrong? You're here so early? Let me help you. Oh, Doctor Yao still has three patients to see."
Zheng Rong was embarrassed. She didn't wear any makeup and her lips were pale. She said to the nurse at the reception desk, "I'll just wait a moment."
The nurse teased her, "Are you going to look at wedding dresses today?"
Zheng Rong said softly, "Yes, I haven't made a choice yet. Yao Tan said to wait and see, there's no rush for now."
The nurse envied: "Oh, there aren't many men who can accompany you to try on wedding dresses."
Pei Qing could tell that the woman who had just come in was a couple with Yao Qin.
She tapped her pen and started recording again.
The newlyweds are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and they look like a good match.
But Pei Qing starts to worry when he sees a pretty girl, so he decides to record a video first.
After recording Zheng Rong's face, Pei Qing turned off the camera.
After Zheng Rong arrived, she kept chatting with the nurse at the reception desk and did not go to the clinic. It seemed that she did not want to disturb Yao Qin's work.
Pei Qing originally wanted to take a photo to see if the person and the drawing matched, and then leave. But now that he had seen Yao Qin's fiancée, who was so beautiful, Pei Qing decided to stay a little longer and observe how the engaged couple got along.
She waited for about an hour, and one patient after another left, before Yao Qin came out of the clinic. When he saw Zheng Rong, he was obviously a little surprised.
Yao Tan: "Didn't you say I would pick you up?"
Zheng Rong said gently, "There was too much traffic on the road at noon. It would take you a long time to drive to my house, so I came here by myself. Are you tired?"
Yao Tan embraced Zheng Rong and said, "I'm not tired. I'll pick you up next time. I won't be seeing patients this afternoon."
Zheng Rong didn't care: "It's okay, you work hard every day. I just heard from my sister that there is another child crying?"
Yao Tan: "It's normal for children to cry when they are scared. Let's go eat first."
Zheng Rong: "Okay. By the way——"
She pulled Yao Qin's arm and said, "Dad asked you to come to our house for dinner tonight."
Yao Qin put on a mask and said ok.
The two walked out of the ophthalmology clinic together.
Pei Qing watched the whole show from beginning to end and felt that the engaged couple had a very good relationship.
She had finished her examination and was about to leave when she heard two nurses chatting at the reception desk.
A nurse said: "Dr. Yao is so handsome and has a good temper. I really envy Zheng Rong."
Another nurse glanced at her and said, "Don't be silly, sister. You might as well envy Zheng Rong for having a good father instead of having a fiancé like Dr. Yao who is tall, handsome and has a good temper."
"Ah?" The first nurse was confused.
"You don't know? Zheng Rong's father is the director of our hospital. Hey, you've been working for a year and you still don't know."
Pei Qing paused as he was about to step out the door.
Why?
She went back to the reception desk and asked with the registration app on her phone, "Hello, is Dr. Yao still seeing patients tomorrow? I see that all the appointments for tomorrow morning are full. Will he come in the afternoon?"
The nurse didn't even bother to check the computer, and said directly: "Doctor Yao doesn't see patients in the afternoon recently. If you are in a hurry, you can come around 7 o'clock in the morning. Doctor Yao is usually here at 7:30. If you don't have an appointment, please come earlier. Doctor Yao will help you. Are you in a hurry?"
Pei Qing said without hesitation: "It's too early after seven o'clock, no need."
The nurse said conscientiously: "You can also make an appointment with other doctors. Our other ophthalmologists are also very responsible."
Pei Qing: "Okay, thank you."
She turned and left. Before she walked out of the door, she heard the nurse muttering, "Every time there are a few people who come to ask for Dr. Yao's number..."
As soon as Pei Qing left the ophthalmology department, he began searching for the director of Dongjiang International Hospital.
This kind of information is open to the public, and Pei Qing found it with a simple search.
She looked at the phone screen.
Zheng Mingxin, male, Han nationality, born in December 1960...
Zheng Rong is his daughter?
Pei Qing took another look at Zheng Mingxin's photo. His hairline was a bit high. He was not ugly, but not handsome either. How could he have given birth to such a beautiful daughter like Zheng Rong?
She thought to herself: It must be because my wife is beautiful.
This is troublesome, as Yao Tan and Zheng Mingxin are father-in-law and son-in-law.
It seems that investigating Yao Tan is not enough, we also have to investigate Zheng Mingxin as well.
A dean can do much more than an ordinary ophthalmologist.
Pei Qing just walked out of the hospital when he received a call from Xu An.
Xu An asked, "Did you go to the hospital? What did you find out?"
Pei Qing looked around and found an empty tree to stand under.
Pei Qing: "I saw Yao Tan, the man I drew last night. His fiancée also came today and said she wanted to try on a wedding dress in the afternoon. Now they are going to have dinner together. And the most important thing is that Yao Tan is the son-in-law of the director of Dongjiang Hospital. We should be vigilant."
Xu An paused while flipping through the files: "Son-in-law? What a coincidence?"
Pei Qing was a little proud: "Yes, how good is my painting skills?"
Xu An: "It's a masterpiece!"
Pei Qing laughed: "That's an exaggeration. What are you flipping through?"
Xu An: "I'll find you the file on Jian Mei's disappearance. Here it is. Okay, I'll send it to you. Take a look."
Xu An briefly flipped through the missing cases' records, and then said to Pei Qing, "These missing cases' records are all pretty much the same. It's been three years, and the hotel has had a lot of personnel changes. I'll send them to you first."
Pei Qing: "Okay."
She then asked, "Ma Youlin, how was your interrogation going?"
Xu An: "He has a big problem."
Pei Qing: "What do you mean?"
Xu An: "In the early morning, a female corpse was found in the stinking ditch under Hongqiao. She was wearing a gold bracelet. The forensic examination showed that the little finger on the right hand of the deceased had a fracture, which is consistent with what Ying Cuicui's brother said."
Pei Qing was surprised: "Ying Cuicui is dead? How did she die?"
Xu An: "Death from suffocation."
Pei Qing didn't understand: "Why do you suspect Ma Youlin did it? Unequal distribution of the spoils? Or was it a murder in the heat of the moment?"
Xu An: "Because Ma Youlin's tissue was detected between the fingernails of the female corpse, Ma Youlin must have had an argument with the deceased before her death."
Pei Qing: "Ma Youlin admitted it?"
Xu An: "He's struggling. Okay, check yours. Be careful and don't get too close to Yao Qin."
Pei Qing: "I see. I'll tell you if there's anything going on."
＊
Xu An returned to the outside of the interrogation room and frowned as he looked at Ma Youlin's dead face through the glass.
He asked Qian Bingcheng beside him: "He hasn't spoken yet?"
Qian Bingcheng: "No, I can handle it. Fang Jie just went to urge them, and the DNA test results will be out soon."
Xu An looked at Ma Youlin. Ma Youlin was not as irritable today as he was last night. No matter which direction Ji Wu asked, Ma Youlin remained silent.
Xu An opened Ma Youlin's file on the table and took a look. He only had one daughter, 18 years old, born to his wife. From what Ma Youlin's wife said, Ma Youlin had sexual dysfunction and had only this one daughter for so many years.
So when Ma Youlin had mistresses outside, his wife just scolded him a few words but didn't make a fuss because he couldn't give birth to a son anyway.
Xu An looked up the information about Ma Youlin's daughter.
Ma Feifei, 18 years old, is a student at Hongde No. 3 Middle School.
Xu An knew this school and said to Qian Bingcheng, "He is a pyramid scheme leader, but his daughter has good grades."
Hongde is a good school. Although it charges money to allow students to study through the back door, it also sets a score line for these students. Generally speaking, there are no Hongde students with particularly poor grades.
In the interrogation room, Ji Wu also changed the topic to Ma Youlin's daughter.
Ji Wu: "It's almost the weekend, your daughter will be on vacation, don't you plan to see your daughter?"
Ma Youlin didn't say anything.
Ji Wu added: "That's right. If your daughter's classmates knew that her father was involved in pyramid schemes, she would inevitably be looked down upon by them. You are such a good father."
Ma Youlin continued to remain silent.
Ji Wu added: "Speaking of which, I have only met your wife but not your daughter. You should meet her and chat with her. Ask her what kind of person she thinks her father is."
Ma Youlin resisted the pressure and remained silent.
This MLM leader is really good at handling pressure.
Fang Jie ran to the interrogation room with the report in hand: "It's out, it's out. Look, it matches. The deceased is indeed Ying Cuicui."
Xu An said something to Ji Wu in the headset, and Ji Wu walked out of the interrogation room.
Ji Wu: "There are two bodies now."
Xu An: "They are all related to Ma Youlin."
Qian Bingcheng: "He is highly suspicious."
Fang Jie: "But I think there is really no need for him to kill Sun Xiuxiu. It is indeed possible for him to kill Ying Cuicui."
Ji Wu: "The forensic doctor gave the time of death of the two bodies. The key point is to find out where Ma Youlin and Ying Cuicui hid after finding the pyramid scheme den."
Fang Jie: "But we watched the surveillance footage of Ma Youlin and his wife meeting before. Ma Youlin came out from the bushes in the flower bed. How do we know which flower bed he came from?"
This is a difficult problem. When Ma Youlin was caught, he did not have a mobile phone on him and the mobile phone number under his name had long been deactivated. Of course, it was impossible to find his whereabouts through SIM card positioning.
Ma Youlin contacted his wife through a landline. After verification, it was found that it was a small shop in front of the school. Ma Youlin only stayed there for a few seconds and then disappeared among the crowd of students and parents.
He was a cautious man, and would keep silent if he made up his mind.
Where will he choose to settle?
In the end, they were divided into two directions. One group went to investigate Ying Cuicui and Ma Youlin's social circles, and the other started from Hongqiao.
*
At twelve o'clock noon, Li Muxu went to have lunch with Pei Qing.
The two met at a private restaurant. When Pei Qing arrived, Li Muxu had already ordered the dishes.
Li Muxu handed her the menu and asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Pei Qing took a look and felt that what Li Muxu ordered was enough, so she shook her head.
"That's enough."
Li Muxu asked someone to serve the food. While waiting for the food to be served, he asked, "What did you find?"
Pei Qing: "Yao Tan is the son-in-law of the president of Dongjiang International Hospital."
Li Muxu: "Really? This is interesting."
Pei Qing: "I think so too."
She took out her phone and continued, "I just searched for corneal transplant surgery. This surgery is not difficult. The difficulty lies in the source of donors. There should be a shortage of corneal donors in City A. I saw someone online saying that they waited for a year before the surgery. What if someone can't wait any longer and there is no suitable donor, what should they do?"
Li Muxu: "If legal means can't wait, then use illegal means."
Pei Qing: "But this isn't easy, is it?"
Pei Qing couldn't understand: "Killing a person just to get the cornea? The price is too high, and once it is discovered, it will be a major criminal case. Do we have to take such a risk? You won't die without the cornea. The cornea is not like other organs. If you delay, the person may die. We can wait, do we have to kill people to get the goods?"
Li Muxu: "How do you know that the people who sell their corneas are willing to do so during the organ trade?"
Pei Qing also thought of this: "Indeed, Sun Xiuxiu is beautiful, why would she be willing to become blind."
She thought of Jian Mei again, who was also a beautiful girl.
Pei Qing: "I wonder where Jian Mei is now? Is she alive or dead? What happened to her eyes?"
She opened her cell phone and looked at the photo of Jian Mei sent by Jian Feizhou.
What a beautiful girl.
The waiter knocked on the door and began to serve the dishes in an orderly manner. After serving the dishes, he walked out silently.
Pei Qing stared at the Taishi Five Snake Soup in the middle of the table. He was stunned for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
She looked at Li Muxu excitedly and asked, "Brother, how is De Rui's ophthalmology department? How about this? Let De Rui find a way to establish a cooperative relationship with Dongyang International Hospital, so that we can know the source of corneal donors for Dongyang International Hospital!"
Li Muxu: "Then how much money do I have to pay?"
Pei Qing tried hard to make a promise: "How can this be called giving away money? If there is any problem, you can ask Xu An to kowtow to you."
Li Muxu was very helpless: "Why didn't you kowtow to me?"
Pei Qing: "It's fine for me to kowtow, we are a family, we don't care about this!"
Li Muxu poured cold water on her: "If there really is illegal trading in Dongjiang International Hospital, how can others accept you without a letter of surrender?"
Pei Qing fell into deep thought.
