Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Eleventh Drawing
On the morning of July 20, Pei Qing continued to keep an eye on Zheng Mingxin's family in the villa.
Although the house burned down, the second floor was still habitable.
Pei Qing could still smell the smell of fire at the tip of her nose. She advised herself that today would be the last day of surveillance. When Xu An came, she would withdraw immediately.
It's time for her voluntary labor to come to an end.
Pei Qing was very sleepy, so he made himself a cup of hand-ground coffee. It tasted a bit bitter, so he forced himself to drink two sips and then started to add milk to it.
Pei Qing thought to himself, I am indeed more suited to latte.
At six o'clock in the morning, Yao Qin drove to the hospital to work as usual.
This guy is really calm. Even though there was a lot of commotion on the internet, he, the suspect, still had a good attitude and went to see patients on time.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Pei Qing finished his latte and found Zheng Rong and Zheng Rong's mother walking out of the villa pushing suitcases.
Zheng Mingxin followed behind with empty hands, and he started talking to Zheng Rong at the door.
Pei Qing stood up immediately.
After Zheng Mingxin finished talking to his daughter, he sent his wife and daughter out of the villa gate and stayed behind.
Pei Qing sat down again.
After thinking about it, she decided to call Xu An.
"Zheng Rong and her mother left with a suitcase. I don't know where they were going."
Seeing Zheng Mingxin return to the villa and not come out for a long time, Pei Qing continued to sit on the sofa and observe.
With a "ding" sound, it was a message from Han Heyue.
A recent hot topic is that the son of the Cai Group reported the current general manager of the Cai Group, Cai Baokun, under his real name. The crimes he listed include but are not limited to embezzlement of public funds, illegal transactions, domestic guarantees for foreign loans, and illegal non-disclosure of important information... Even more serious are sexual bribery of senior officials...
Han Heyue did not forget to gossip with Pei Qing while working overtime.
"How much does this young master Cai hate his elder brother? If this is true, will the employees of Cai Group lose their jobs?"
It turns out that office workers focus on different things.
Pei Qing and Han Heyue explained: "This Cai Xinran and his eldest brother are not born of the same mother. He is the youngest child of a stepmother. When the old lady was alive, Cai Xinran did not do anything good, but the old lady liked her grandson, so he did not suffer any loss. After his grandmother passed away, no one cleaned up his mess, and he was exiled to Australia. He must have become unbalanced because of Cai Baokun's success in China."
Han Heyue finally sorted out the complicated relationship of this family, and then complained: "As expected, the rich are full of troubles."
The two chatted for a while. Han Heyue said that the project she was working on was almost completed, and asked Pei Qing if he was busy and whether he could come out for dinner when he had time.
Pei Qing: "Not possible these two days, I'll call you when I'm free, baby!"
Han Heyue was happy: "Then you treat us."
Pei Qing recalled his balance and said, “That’s a must! How can I lose you.”
After hanging up the phone, Pei Qing continued to look at the Zheng family villa with a telescope.
Zheng Mingxin hasn't come out yet.
Pei Qing was looking at his phone with some boredom. Xu An replied and said that he would bring people to Min Rong Xiangju immediately. He had already asked the police to wait for Yao Qin. Yao Qin had not made any unusual movements at the moment. Zheng Rong would also send people to follow him to ensure that no one could escape.
Pei Qing took a look and couldn't help but sigh that Yao Qin had a very strong psychological quality.
Are you really not afraid of being caught?
She looked at the Zheng family villa again. Zheng Mingxin was still in the villa and had not come out.
Feeling a bit bored, Pei Qing started to check his phone.
Before Xu An arrived at Min Rong's villa, Zheng Mingxin was staying well in the villa. Through the window, Pei Qing could still see Zheng Mingxin making tea.
Pei Qing would send messages to Xu An from time to time.
Min Rong Xiangju is a bit far from the city, and it will take some time for him to get over there.
At ten o'clock in the morning, when Pei Qing was bored and browsing his phone, the official news released a piece of news.
"On July 20, according to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Mayor Zhao Changhua of City A was suspected of serious violations of laws and disciplines and voluntarily surrendered himself to accept disciplinary review and supervision investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision..."
Um?
ah?
Pei Qing immediately picked up the telescope and looked at Zheng Mingxin in the villa.
Zheng Mingxin moved from sitting to standing, wiping his clothes with something in his hand.
At the same time, a police car drove in and stopped at the door of Zheng's villa.
Jian Feizhou got out of the car and followed Xu An.
The journey was too far, so Xu An specially hired a forensic doctor to make the trip.
Jian Feizhou stood at the door of Zheng's villa again and watched the police press the doorbell.
Smooth and cheerful music sounded from the doorbell, and Jian Feizhou clenched his teeth.
Soon, several policemen filed in and took Zheng Mingxin into custody in the villa.
Zheng Mingxin was taken outside by the police.
Pei Qing saw Zheng Mingxin and the policeman quarreling on the second floor, which attracted people from the surrounding villas to come out and watch the fun.
Xu An said something to Zheng Mingxin, and Zheng Mingxin stared at him.
He glared at her without disturbing Xu An's work.
Xu An started having people dig in the vegetable field. When digging, he was careful to dig out the vegetables intact and placed them neatly on the ground.
Gradually more and more people gathered around.
Minrong Villa has a beautiful environment, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The people who live here are old men and women who pay attention to health preservation. Occasionally, their young children come to visit, but this place is too far from the city and it is inconvenient for work, so they have to go back after staying for a few days.
But now, this Feng Shui treasure land in the eyes of the old lady seems to be facing serious problems.
Pei Qing couldn't help it and went downstairs to watch the police digging the vegetable garden.
She walked over slowly and stood behind an old lady who had enthusiastically invited her to stay with her last night.
The old lady was in good spirits. She asked the young policeman who was blocking her way with full energy: "Young man, what are you doing? What are you digging?"
"It's a nice vegetable garden, why did you dig it up?"
"This melon can still grow longer, what a waste."
"It's a waste of food!"
…
Xu An asked several police officers to block the entrance of the villa to prevent these old men and women from coming in. If someone fell down and their children came to the door to find them, the deputy chief would have bags under his eyes again.
He saw Pei Qing in the crowd. Pei Qing was hiding behind a few old men and women. When he saw him, he turned his head away, pretending not to know him.
Xu An found it funny and turned around to continue digging the ground with the shovel.
Since becoming a policeman, I have done all the work that I have never done at home.
The ground was dug deeper and deeper, and the old men and women who were watching initially thought that these young policemen were wasting vegetables.
But as they dug inch by inch, the soil was piled aside. When the pile was very high, the elderly people with keen intuition felt something was wrong and began to secretly call their children.
At noon, Xu An was sweating profusely while digging in the vegetable garden.
The forensic doctor was old, so he instructed the young police officers to dig carefully so as not to damage the body if there was anything there.
Xu An asked him to speak more quietly, saying that Jian Feizhou has a family member here, so could he consider their feelings?
The forensic doctor glanced at the handsome young man who was stopped by the police officer, changed direction, turned his back to him, and continued to ask Xu An to dig carefully.
According to investigations, the Zheng family moved into Minrong Villa at the end of 2012. If Jian Feizhou's guess is true, then the victim had been buried in the ground for three years and would have already turned into bones. Of course, we have to be careful.
He saw that more and more soil was being dug out and felt that it was about time, so he snatched the shovel from Xu An's hand and started shoveling carefully himself.
Half an hour later, the forensic doctor stopped examining the bag on the ground.
Seeing the police stop moving, Jian Feizhou walked towards Xu An.
Xu An hurriedly asked someone to pull him back: "Okay, let's go back and watch again."
The forensic doctor carefully cut open the bag, revealing a small hole, through which the bones could be seen.
Forensic doctor: “Take them all back.”
Xu An: "Okay."
Several police officers blocked the vegetable garden. The elderly people nearby did not see what happened specifically, but they knew that the police had dug out some things that could not be seen by others.
What followed was surprise towards Zheng Mingxin.
"Oh My God."
"What did Lao Zheng bury..."
"Hurry home, this is so unlucky!"
"Hurry, hurry, we can't live here anymore, let's go home!"
*
On July 20, the police found the fourth body after Sun Xiuxiu, Ying Cuicui and Cheng Mu.
The body had turned into bones. After DNA testing, it was confirmed that the deceased was the sister of the reporter Jian Feizhou, Jian Mei.
The police immediately interrogated Zheng Mingxin.
After the relevant personnel surrendered, the case became clearer.
After entering the interrogation room, Zheng Mingxin still denied that he was the murderer. According to his confession, the victim died at the hands of his son-in-law Yao Tan.
The police immediately arrested Yao Qin.
The father-in-law and son-in-law were both extremely calm in the interrogation room.
Faced with Zheng Mingxin's confession, Yao Tan denied it just like Zheng Mingxin did: "I didn't kill him."
Ji Wu: "Who do you think the murderer is? Jung Myung-shin?"
In the eyes of the police, the father-in-law and son-in-law were blaming each other.
Yao Tan: "She is allergic to anesthetics."
He was very calm: "No one knew that she was allergic to the medicine, so she had a shock reaction and died on the operating table. There are too many murderers to name. The person who chose her, the person who kidnapped her, the doctor with no medical ethics, the person who used her cornea, and the person who tried to use her for bribery are all murderers. I am not the only murderer."
His voice was cold, and Ji Wu asked him: "It seems that you are in a clear mind. Why did you agree to Zheng Mingxin to do such a thing?"
Yao Tan: "Officer, you are a local of City A."
Ji Wu glanced at him.
Yao Qin didn't smile, his naturally gentle appearance had faded.
"I once went to the Hongmen, where it only took a few minutes to tell the difference between the locals and migrant workers. It was so obvious that no wonder the gang could accurately identify their targets."
He continued, "That's how resources come from. The upper class oppresses the lower class to make profits. The same is true for hospitals. I studied hard for many years to become a doctor, and it took a lot of effort to stay in City A. Zheng Mingxin thought I was easy to control. I was kidnapped just like those women."
He leaned back in his chair.
"Officer, I didn't want to go back to my hometown, so I made the choice. I just lost the bet. But I can tell you who Zheng Mingxin had contact with. His sentence should be heavier than mine."
＊
The case reached a critical stage, and after the relevant officials surrendered, Yao Dazhi's mouth suddenly opened.
He talked about the head in the refrigerator.
"She said her name was Cheng Mu."
Xu An asked: "Do you know her name?"
Yao Dazhi: "She said so herself. She is the smartest and the most beautiful among all the women. According to the rules set by Peng Yue, they can only stay in the small western-style building and villa, but Cheng Mu has the ability to let the guests take her out for a walk and then come back. Peng Yue doesn't like this very much, but the guests cannot be offended."
Yao Dazhi continued, "I wanted to let her go that day. That day, Cai Baokun was in a good mood and took her out to play. Cheng Mu coaxed Cai Baokun to drink a lot of wine and got drunk. I saw her sneak out of the box wearing sunglasses.
There are several guests in this place who like to bring her here to play, in fact, they just want to show off Cheng Mu's beauty, they say she looks like a doll. So Cheng Mu is very familiar with this road, when she walked out of the box, she was just like a normal person. "
Yao Dazhi repeated: "I really wanted to let her go. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She said she would never tell anyone else. I didn't believe it, but she looked so pitiful, so I let her go.
But she was so unlucky that she ran into Peng Yue at the door. Later, Peng Yue chopped off her head and sent it to my house. My brother was scared half to death and didn't speak for several days. I even found a soul caller to call his soul back. "
Yao Dazhi was silent for a few seconds. It was obvious that Cheng Mu’s head in the refrigerator had left an indelible mark in his heart.
…
Xu An asked him to sign the transcript. After Yao Dazhi signed and put his fingerprints on it, he asked Xu An, "Officer Xu, I've always been curious about who informed the police and brought us to their attention. The car that hit me on Hongze Road that day did it on purpose."
Xu An: "Can't figure it out? Then think about it carefully. You will have plenty of time in prison in the future. It will be enough for you to think about it for many years."
＊
The case was officially named "Serious Case 711" and involved human trafficking, organ trading, forced sexual intercourse with women and sexual bribery of relevant officials in order to gain improper benefits.
As the investigation by the Commission for Discipline Inspection continued to deepen, more and more officials were brought down and the leadership of City A changed extremely frequently.
The former director of the Public Security Bureau of City A was transferred, the deputy director completed the procedures for retirement due to illness in advance, and the provincial department also carried out a wave of purges.
That day, Pei Qing had just visited Han Xiao and Hua Jing. When she returned home, she found that Xu An had arrived home earlier than her.
How strange.
Police investigations are actually very cumbersome. After Zheng Mingxin and Yao Qin were arrested, Pei Qing basically gave up on the case.
But the Serious Crime Squad still has a lot of work to do, such as arresting the thugs from the Hongmen side and trying them. They also uncovered the dereliction of duty and disciplinary violations by some police officers in the Hongmen Police Station.
For example, how Ma Youlin was threatened by Yao Dazhi, had an argument with Ying Cuicui, and finally killed someone in passion, the relevant interrogation results and transcripts must be sorted out and brought to justice.
These tasks are extremely tedious and not much easier than staying up all night to interrogate people.
In addition to the follow-up of these arrests, there is also the issue of how to place the victims.
In addition, there are also buyers who engage in organ trading, who also need to be investigated and brought to justice by the police one by one.
Except for Cai Xinran, who has been far away in Australia in recent years and has not participated in any illegal or criminal activities of the Cai Group, all other senior executives of the Cai Group will be investigated.
Pei Qing felt exhausted just thinking about it. But why did Xu An come home so early today?
She asked.
Xu An said half dead: "The inspector came to see me. I got off work early today. Damn, I was almost done with my work when he came to see me. It would have been better if he had come to me a few days earlier. I could have done less work!"
Pei Qing: "So you were suspended? Because you brought Cai Xinran back to China?"
Xu An rubbed his face and said, "Almost. They said it was a bad influence. Bah! Dog bites dog. What bad influence can there be?"
Pei Qing poured him a glass of water and said, "I've told you before that being a police officer means you have to be controlled. So put your free nature in check."
Xu An: "Forget it, it's just right to take a few days off."
He laughed again: "When I left, Lao Ji scolded me for only knowing how to run and not working. I have done enough!"
Pei Qing asked again: "What about those blind girls?"
Xu An was embarrassed. "We have contacted the Women's Federation and the Disabled Persons' Federation. Basic resettlement is no problem. But they are healthy people who suddenly became blind. We are also contacting experts to see if we can have a consultation to see if their eyes can be cured... It's also difficult to deal with."
Pei Qing sat down.
"It's not easy. Those people deserve to die. Their corneas should also be removed. They are just scum who bully the weak and fear the strong!"
Xu An didn't want to think about the case after get off work, so he changed the subject.
"What are you having for dinner?"
Pei Qing pointed at the meat filling in the kitchen and said, "Make wontons tonight."
She was almost exhausted by the dark circles under Xu An's eyes, so she asked Xu An to go get some sleep first.
Pei Qing: "You don't have to do it today. Aunt Chen and I will wrap it together."
Xu An stretched himself and said, "Okay, I'll go upstairs first."
＊
By the end of July, the case had basically reached the final stage. The Serious Crime Squad reorganized the case and transferred it to the procuratorate for review and prosecution.
After the procuratorate files a public prosecution, the court will try the case.
It's a new day again, the sun is high in the sky, it's almost August and the summer heat will only get hotter.
Pei Qing drove downstairs and waited for Hua Jing and Han Xiao.
The police officers who were protecting them had already withdrawn, but considering Hua Jing's condition, Pei Qing had not let them move away.
The house left by Huajing's parents is a walk-up apartment on the fourth floor, which is inconvenient to live in. Although Huajing mentioned returning home after her brother was arrested, Pei Qing felt that she would not go back to her rental house. It would not make any difference to her whether Huajing and Han Xiao stayed a few more days or less.
She now lives back in the Li family. Li Muxu is afraid that she will be retaliated against, but he also takes into account her unique painting skills and is afraid that she will attract strange people to covet her. He feels relieved because he thinks she has bodyguards watching over her at home.
Pei Qing moved back home.
She couldn't help but ask herself, why am I going through all this trouble?
But no matter what, she would not give He Rui money even if she asked for it.
He Rui was eighteen when she gave birth to her, and she is only forty this year. Forty years old! Not even old enough for Pei Qing to support her.
She stubbornly believed that He Rui had only given birth to her but not raised her, and that she would only support her when He Rui really became unable to work.
＊
Han Xiao took Hua Jing out of the elevator. As soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Pei Qing waiting at the intersection. She waved to Pei Qing and said to Hua Jing, "Sister Pei Qing is here to pick us up."
Hua Jing nodded and smiled.
This time, the three of them wanted to go and see the girls who had become blind.
Those girls are young, and they became blind later in life. They have experienced so many bad things, and their mentality and life are not easy. Before the results of the expert consultation come out, they will inevitably live with blindness for a period of time, and the time may even be uncertain.
Huajing has been living blind for many years. Before being sold by her brother, she was able to do some Internet-based jobs with the help of her parents. The salary was not high, but she was able to support herself.
Maybe she could give those girls some help.
Pei Qing had inquired in advance and learned that the girl was able to take care of herself with the help of the Women's Federation these days, but he heard that they were still very scared and did not dare to go out, and only dared to stay in the house provided by the Women's Federation.
When Pei Qing arrived, there was a staff member waiting at the door. When they saw her coming, they waved at her.
"Pei Qing, this way."
She saw Huajing. She had communicated with Huajing on the phone before. Huajing had no communication barriers and could even work independently. Her parents must have paid a lot for this.
She said gently: "Hua Jing, hello."
Hua Jing was holding hands with Han Xiao, and she responded: "Hello."
Han Xiao also greeted with a smile.
Together they approached the girls' residence.
Pei Qing first saw the girls sitting in the living room, five in total, with their hands on special Braille books, studying.
Their clothes were neat and clean, and the living environment was very airy, with sunlight shining through the windows onto their faces.
Pei Qing asked quietly: "Isn't it hot? The sun is very hot at noon."
The staff explained: "They like the sun, it's okay, I asked the doctor, more sun exposure is good for them."
Pei Qing: "Oh."
She didn't get closer, but watched Han Xiao leading Hua Jing over, and approached carefully. Soon they started chatting, and Hua Jing could even teach them Braille.
The staff breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were getting along well.
She looked at Pei Qing and asked him what he wanted to drink.
Pei Qing: "Water will do."
The staff poured her a glass of water and thanked her again: "I also want to thank you. Director Sun from Derui Hospital came to see them before. She said there is hope. When their condition gets better, I will take them to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. I hope they can recover well."
Pei Qing was a little happy: "That's great. Learning Braille is also very hard. It would be best if I can restore my eyesight."
Staff: "Well, Director Sun is not sure. Eyes are delicate things. There is no way to guarantee it 100%. We have to wait for the expert consultation. I will go and urge them again."
Pei Qing: “Yeah.”
In the next few days, Hua Jing came over every day to chat with the girls. In addition to accompanying her, Han Xiao also started looking for a job on the recruitment software.
Finally, she joined a housekeeping company. Pei Qing checked the company's qualifications and asked Xu An about it. After feeling that there was no problem, Han Xiao completed the job application.
As the ups and downs of life gradually passed, Pei Qing finally remembered the live broadcast she hadn't done for a long time.
At eight o'clock in the evening, she tentatively started the live broadcast.
Pei Qing waited for someone to come in, but found no one...
ah?
No way, I have hundreds of fans after all!
Pei Qing opened his homepage. Last time he checked, he still had more than 200 fans!
Never mind, there’s no difference between having more than 200 fans and having none.
As expected, when it comes to live broadcasts, if you cancel too many times, the audience will leave.
Forget it, let’s start over.
Pei Qing opened a new canvas and prepared to draw a few portraits first.
This is simple and fast.
When she looked up again, she found that the public screen was crowded. It turned out that it was not that there was no one there, but that it was stuck.
【The missing persons have returned.】
[You still remember to come back? ]
[Mom, the anchor I follow is finally back after disappearing for 800 years! ]
【What a good day today is. 】
[I thought you went to survive the tribulation, but you didn't. ]
[Didn't he come back from the robbery? 】
[23333, what should I draw today? ]
[Please make it a little more difficult. You haven’t been broadcasting recently. I feel so lonely. 】
…
Pei Qing was stunned. She flipped through the pages but found that she could not finish reading them.
The audience was really enthusiastic.
She typed: [Something happened at home.]
[Promise me, you'll leave a note next time, okay? ]
[I thought you were going to retire to the mountains. ]
[Can I get an article today? Master! I've been logged in for a long time! Please help me calculate whether I can pass the teaching qualification exam in September. Send the anchor a bouquet of flowers to confess your love. Please help me calculate it. Please, please, college students will be grateful.jpg]
[What's the point of calculating this? You can just learn it casually. ]
[Anchor, did you see that? Look at me, look at me, look at me! ]
…
Pei Qing saw it. After finishing this portrait, she opened a new draft and started painting quickly.
This time it felt easy to draw.
So, half an hour later, a burst of laughter broke out on the public screen.
On this drawing, a figure appeared from behind, and on the back, a transcript was revealed. The written test form was as follows:
－－－－－－
Written test results
301-Comprehensive Quality (Middle School)
Qualified in the second half of 2015
302—Educational Knowledge and Ability
Failed in the second half of 2015
404—Mathematics Subject Knowledge and Teaching Ability (Senior High School)
Qualified in the second half of 2015
－－－－－－
The public screen became lively.
[Yes, I failed one subject and missed the interview. ]
【No! No! 】
【I am dying of laughter.】
[Let me tell you, you can’t calculate things like exams. If the result is not good, will you work hard next time, or not? ]
【You are asking for trouble, sister. 】
Pei Qing typed on the public screen: [For reference only. ]
[It’s so funny, the host doesn’t want to take the blame. ]
[I will comment on the results of the previous one when they come out. If they are accurate, I will also count them next time. ]
Pei Qing finished the live broadcast smoothly, drew a few avatars and sent them out, ending the live broadcast perfectly.
