Chapter 44 Chapter 44 The fourth drawing
Xu An called Ji Wu while walking towards Songshan Road.
I called several times in a row, but Ji Wu didn't answer.
Xu An threw the phone aside with a "bang", scaring the young policeman sitting in the passenger seat.
"Ange."
Xu An: "It's okay, go online and check what happened on Songshan Road."
The young policeman said "Oh" twice, and found the news about Songshan Road and pictures of the scene.
Two cars collided with each other. The front of the car in front hit the mountain wall, and the rear car directly hit the back of the car behind, completely destroying the car. Fortunately, the fuel tank did not explode.
Xu An glanced sideways and cursed, "Zhan Shengguang, you idiot!"
The young policeman pretended not to hear.
Ji Wu called and he was standing outside the emergency room. Zhan Shengguang had been there for half an hour.
“It’s not good.”
Xu An: "Isn't this his own fault? Is Che Wanting here?"
Ji Wu: "He's not here. Go find him."
Xu An cursed again: "Is Zhan Shengguang's head filled with straw?"
Ji Wu glanced at the emergency room and said, "He has no brains, but Che Wanting has brains. We caught a few speeding gang members at the scene. They said there was a woman there, but she left later. They recognized Che Wanting's photo. Xu An, you have to hurry up and find her before she leaves the country. She is an American citizen. If she leaves, it will be too late to find her!"
Xu An: “Got it.”
He glanced at the rearview mirror, stopped the car by the side of the road, and asked the policeman in the passenger seat to get out.
A question mark appeared on the young policeman's forehead.
Xu An: "You can fight back by yourself."
Then, he turned the steering wheel, changed direction, and called Pei Qing.
Xu An: "Are you still in Lian Jiao's hospital?"
Pei Qing: "No, I came out. What's wrong?"
Xu An: "Che Wanting ran away. Did you bring your tablet?"
Pei Qing: "I brought it. Do you want me to draw it?"
She was reluctant.
Xu An: "Zhan Shengguang was racing with someone and is now being rescued. We don't know if he can survive."
Pei Qing said coldly: "Isn't that what he asked for? Let him die. Trash man!"
She was so fed up with this guy, he was like a psychopath.
Xu An understood: "You don't want to care?"
Pei Qing squatted on the ground, pulling the foxtail grass in the flower bed, pulling several strands at a time.
"I'm so annoyed. Each of these people has their own problems. I don't want to bother with them. I'm really wasting my time!"
Xu An: "Okay, I'll go find someone to check."
Pei Qing felt a little embarrassed again. She wrapped the dogtail grass in her hand around her fingers a few times and asked, "You really don't need me?"
Xu An smiled: "In the past, we investigated cases by ourselves. Whether we can catch the criminals or not is a test of the police's ability. OK, I'm hanging up. You can go home and have a rest. I have to stay up all night today."
Pei Qing: “Oh.”
Xu An hung up the phone and started to go back to the police station, where he began to check whether Che Wanting had any purchased air tickets, train tickets, or boat tickets.
On the other side, Pei Qing hung up the phone and squatted on the ground waiting for the driver to pick him up.
Not long after, Li Muxu called and asked where Pei Qing was.
Pei Qing: "I'm at the flower bed in front of the outpatient department. Hey, isn't the driver here to pick me up?"
Li Muxu: "The driver has something to do today."
Pei Qing: "Then you come to pick me up? Okay, are you here yet?"
Li Muxu: "Five minutes to the door."
Pei Qing: "I'll wait for you outside."
She threw the foxtail grass in her hand into the trash can and turned to walk out of the hospital.
Walking to the door, Pei Qing looked into the distance, waiting for Li Muxu to drive over.
Li Muxu parked his car in front of the hospital. The security guard came over quickly to chase him away, saying that parking was not allowed in front of the hospital.
Pei Qing hurried over and got into the passenger seat.
"Uncle, I know, we'll leave right away and won't delay you."
Pei Qing patted Li Muxu and asked him to drive.
Li Muxu drove the car away.
Pei Qing sat in the passenger seat with his shoulders relaxed.
Li Muxu looked at her and asked, "Are you tired?"
Pei Qing: "A little bit. I feel like my spirit has been hurt."
She repeated what Lian Jiao had said to Li Muxu.
Pei Qing: "I bet she told a glamorized version of herself, and she even avoided questions that were unfavorable to her. She and Zhan Shengguang are really a perfect match."
Li Muxu: "If you are impatient, just ignore it and go home to rest. Aunt Chen cooked corn and pork ribs soup at home today. Go home and have some."
Pei Qing: "Okay, okay, Xu An will miss out on this treat."
When they returned home, Aunt Chen quickly served two bowls of soup and let them taste it. Pei Qing thought it tasted good and drank another bowl. After finishing it, he went upstairs to take a nap.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening and Pei Qing took out his tablet.
Xu An hasn't called yet, and I don't know whether he has found Che Wanting.
It's really a headache.
If Che Wanting wanted to go abroad, she should have left the country by now. Where would she be?
Pei Qing thought about it and couldn't help his curiosity, so he opened a new page of the drawing and started drawing.
The night is beautiful and the full moon is high in the sky.
A cruise ship was sailing on the sea, and the waves hit the cruise ship, splashing out several waves.
On the tenth floor deck of the cruise ship, a man and a woman were leaning against the railing.
Is this Che Wanting?
Pei Qing recognized the cruise ship, it was Explorer 3.
Che Wanting hasn’t left the country yet?
What else does she want to do?
Pei Qing quickly changed his clothes and walked downstairs.
Li Muxu was still working. When he saw Pei Qing coming downstairs, he asked, "Are you going to find Che Wanting?"
Pei Qing paused: "I—will go and take a look."
Li Muxu: "Didn't you say you don't care?"
Pei Qing said righteously: "I am not a policeman, so I can't do anything about it."
Li Muxu closed the computer.
Pei Qing saw this and immediately said, "I'll go by myself."
Li Muxu: "I'll go with you."
＊
Pei Qing and Li Muxu drove to catch the cruise ship, which was now docked at the port and had not yet departed.
While driving to the cruise ship, Pei Qing hesitated whether to call Xu An.
Li Muxu: "Che Wanting has already boarded the ship, but Xu An still can't find her. This means he is not suitable to be a policeman. He should resign and go home as soon as possible."
Pei Qing: "That's not true. Maybe Che Wanting didn't use her ID. She's a smart person and she must have left a way out for herself."
Li Muxu: "What about you?"
Pei Qing: "Hmm?"
Li Muxu: "What are you going to do? Let the police arrest Che Wanting?"
Pei Qing hesitated: "But it's hard to convict, right?"
Li Muxu: "This is not a question of conviction."
He looked at the boundless ocean again, and the cruise ship entered the sea like a drop of water pouring into the sea.
Li Muxu: "You were resisting in your heart and didn't want to catch Che Wanting. You felt that it was very miserable for her to be pushed down the stairs by her boyfriend and best friend while she was pregnant, so you subconsciously didn't want her to be caught."
Pei Qing was stunned for a while, and finally admitted: "Okay, that's true. I'm not a policeman, so why should I assume the responsibilities of a policeman? Although I don't know why Che Wanting chose to come back for revenge five years later, she must have encountered problems in her life."
She stayed in the car and showed no intention of getting out.
Li Muxu: "Your values are too simple."
Pei Qing: "Repay kindness with kindness and take revenge with hatred. What's wrong with that?"
She looked at Li Muxu and said quickly, "Well, I didn't listen to Xu An's advice and took the police exam. It turned out to be the right decision. If I were waiting outside Zhan Shengguang's ward now, I would be showing consideration for the family members if I didn't set off some firecrackers to celebrate."
Li Muxu smiled: "The cruise ship is about to leave, think it through."
After thinking for a long time, Pei Qing finally decided to board the cruise ship.
"I'm going to meet Che Wanting."
＊
Che Wanting leaned on the railing just like in Pei Qing's drawing.
Pei Qing found her easily.
Seeing Pei Qing, Che Wanting blinked her tipsy eyes. She pointed at Pei Qing and said, "You are the one who followed Lian Jiao recently. Ah, I heard that Lian Jiao is fine, why did you come to see me?"
Pei Qing looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked the question he wanted to ask.
“Why did you choose to come back after five years?”
Che Wanting walked a few steps, lay on the chair, and let Pei Qing sit down.
“Don’t be too curious about other people’s lives.”
Pei Qing didn't listen to her reasoning: "That won't work. You know who I am, but I don't know who you are. I'm at a loss."
This comparison was quite novel, and Che Wanting was amused.
"You broke into my arrangement, but I didn't check on you on purpose."
Pei Qing sat down without any hesitation.
Che Wanting: "You have been with Lian Jiao for so many days, you must know who Lian Jiao and Zhan Shengguang are. My husband took care of me and took me away. I originally wanted to leave the sad place and never come back, but things are always unpredictable. My doctor told me that only by relaxing can new hope come, so I came back to relax."
She chuckled, "I haven't been back for five years, and Lian Jiao and Zhan Shengguang are still the same as before. Zhan Shengguang is as irresponsible as before, and Lian Jiao still dreams of marrying into a wealthy family. Her beautiful dreams are ultimately just illusions, and will be shattered sooner or later."
Her cell phone dinged.
Che Wanting took a look and found it very interesting, so she showed the message to Pei Qing.
"It's too early to say that. Maybe Lian Jiao can really marry into a wealthy family this time!"
Pei Qing glanced at her phone, which displayed a message.
[The doctor said that Zhan Shengguang had spinal cord injury and was paralyzed from the waist down.]
Che Wanting: "Isn't it interesting?"
She laughed so hard that tears came out.
Pei Qing stared at the message on his phone and asked, "Did you hire a private detective? Which one?"
Che Wanting put away her phone. "This is a private investigator who gets paid $1,000 an hour. Sometimes I feel like it's better to donate the money than to spend it on Zhan Shengguang. But my husband said that my happiness is the most important thing."
Pei Qing: "Aren't you afraid of being found out by the police?"
Che Wanting: "How could it be? Two men with families, instead of going back to accompany their fiancées and wives, went racing in a fit of anger. They are all adults, and they can blame me for the problems caused by racing.
I tried to persuade them, but none of them listened to me. What else can I do? I am afraid they will blame me, so I can only leave first. These men have been brainless for a long time. God is really good to them. He waited until they were almost 30 years old before letting them get into trouble..."
The sound of surging waves continued, and in the distance a man in a double-breasted suit and a dark brown striped tie with gold dots walked over.
He first glanced at Pei Qing, then asked Che Wanting in Chinese: "Dear, it's time to go back. Is this your friend?"
Che Wanting stood up gracefully, leaned against him, and said, "No, she's just a girl who is too curious. I'll finish talking to her right away. Honey, wait for me a moment."
She looked at Pei Qing with a smile and said to him, "I also asked someone to prepare a gift for Lian Jiao, hoping it would scare her. This is something I carefully selected, and she must see it."
After saying that, she held the arm of the man next to her and walked away intimately.
Pei Qing looked at her back, his eyelids twitched, and he immediately called the policewoman guarding Lian Jiao's ward.
The policewoman listened to what she said and looked around: "Gifts? We didn't receive any gifts here."
Pei Qing: "Where's Lian Jiao's cell phone?"
Policewoman: “In her hand.”
Lian Jiao was lying on the hospital bed, looking at her cell phone.
When the policewoman walked over to her and stretched out her hand, she heard Lian Jiao scream and throw the phone against the wall.
Fortunately, the quality of mobile phones is pretty good nowadays. Even though they fell against the wall, the screens only had a few cracks left. The policewoman saw the picture on the phone at a glance.
It seemed to be a drawing, in which Lian Jiao was lying on the ground, unconscious.
There is a sentence left in the blank space of the drawing.
"May all your wishes come true."
The policewoman turned around and looked at Lian Jiao. Lian Jiao was breathing rapidly and staring at the wall.
＊
Ten minutes after the cruise ship started sailing, Xu An boarded the ship on the yacht.
Che Wanting bought a ticket to the United States at 7:30 p.m., but at 6:30 p.m., she had not yet checked in. The serious crime squad felt something was wrong and began searching Che Wanting for any other documents.
The Serious Crime Squad captured an Asian man who was wandering outside the emergency room and got the news about Che Wanting from him.
Unfortunately, it was too late when we got the news, the cruise ship had already set sail for ten minutes.
After searching for several people, Xu An finally found a speedboat and boarded the cruise ship.
As soon as I got on the cruise ship, I saw Pei Qing sitting on the deck with a cup of milk tea in his hand.
Xu An was about to spit out blood.
He glared at Pei Qing: "Why are you here instead of sleeping at home?"
Pei Qing looked around and said, "Ah? I've already bought the tickets. I'll lose out if I don't take the seat."
Xu An: “Heh.”
He could accept Pei Qing sleeping at home, but she didn't sleep at home and came to the cruise ship. Not only did she come to the cruise ship, but she also kept it secret from him.
Pei Qing: "Brother is here too, we're just hanging out."
Xu An: “Heh.”
Pei Qing made way for him to pass: "Hey, don't stand there. I'll go buy you a hot drink and take it with you when you leave."
She ran to the hot drinks area, said a few words to the waiter, and quickly came back with a few cups of milk tea.
Xu An was no longer there. He must have gone to catch Che Wanting.
Pei Qing took another sip of milk tea. Li Muxu finished chatting with others and walked back.
"It seems your wish will not come true."
Pei Qing: "It's not up to me to decide. Anyway, it's a foregone conclusion that Che Wanting threatened Lian Jiao."
