Chapter 48 Chapter 48 The Second Drawing
The three of them waited for an hour on the beach below Yunteng Mountain.
At noon, Pei Qing prepared to order takeout.
"What do you want to eat? Fried chicken? Bibimbap? Sushi? Fast food?"
Yang Xingping glanced at her mobile phone and saw the high delivery fee at a glance.
He didn't understand: "30 yuan for delivery? Do you really have to eat this meal?"
Xu An took a glance.
“The scenic area is really expensive.”
Yang Xingping listened and glanced at him: "It's fine if I say it's expensive, but how can you say it's expensive when you drive that car?"
Xu An shouted at him, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Just because you drive a luxury car, you can't complain about the expensive takeout?"
He took Pei Qing's phone and looked through the takeaway items.
Just as they were thinking about what to eat for lunch, a quarrel suddenly broke out on the beach not far away.
It was said to be a quarrel, but in fact it was a war of words.
"You have no manners, your child is pooping on the beach and you're just standing there watching like a dead person!"
"How can a child hold his poop? Can your child hold his poop?"
"Can't you put diapers on your child? He comes out naked. Look at how miserable he is. It's true that you are like your child. If the adults wear tattered clothes, the children will be tattered too!"
"What are you talking about! Your child is clean, look at his claws, they are just like chicken claws..."
…
Pei Qing couldn't help but glance at the bench where he was sitting. Fortunately, the bench was clean.
She looked at the green poop next to the quarreling parents and suddenly felt a little disgusted.
"Forget it, you don't have to eat this meal."
Yang Xingping snorted: "If you keep doing this, when you see something floating up from the sea, will you be able to sleep tonight?"
Pei Qing turned his head and looked at him: "Who do you look down on? If it weren't for me, you would still be suspended now."
Yang Xingping: "Thank you so much."
Xu An hurriedly called a halt and asked them to watch the fun: "Alright, look, there's a fight going on over there!"
Pei Qing looked at a few women fighting on the beach in the distance and said, "Summer is hot and irritable."
She nudged Xu An with her elbow: "Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Xu An didn't care: "What are you looking at? There are security guards in the scenic area. If the situation gets out of hand, the security guards will call the police. I am a person with a mission."
Pei Qing swept his eyes around the beach, flipped through the sketch and looked at it, then said, "The time on the sketch is definitely not this time. The women across the street are not on the beach."
Yang Xingping took her tablet and looked at it, then compared it with the people on the beach.
"The old man taking pictures over there is still here. I'll go ask him what time he usually stays there."
Pei Qing: "Go ahead. Go quickly."
After Yang Xingping left, Xu An asked Pei Qing: "Why do you always quarrel with him?"
Pei Qing: "He was the one who was rude. He was like that outside the martial arts school. I don't owe him anything."
Xu An: "As a young man, it's okay to be a little cynical. The fact that Director Shen assigned him here means he passed the assessment. At least there is one thing about him that you must be satisfied with."
Pei Qing: "Hmm?"
Xu An: "If we do something beyond the line, he won't object, but he himself went too far, condoning arson by minors, which was really heartless. Fortunately, nothing happened."
Pei Qing: "It's really strange. I think he doesn't like Xu Qianyu's personality either, but he actually agreed to participate in Xu Qianyu's plan."
Xu An: "Don't you think he has a similar personality to Xu Qianyu, the kind of person who pretends to obey but actually disobeys?"
Pei Qing understood immediately after hearing this. She smiled and nodded repeatedly: "You are right, it makes so much sense!"
The two chatted for a while, and Xu An continued to look at the takeaway and asked Pei Qing: "You really don't want to eat?"
Pei Qing: "No, I have no appetite. Ugh, it's disgusting."
Xu An looked up at the beach and saw that the security guard had shoveled out all the sand, which was full of poop.
"The fine is still too low. They should fine him 500 yuan each time they are caught, and send him to the police station if he doesn't pay. He will behave himself after being fined a few times."
Pei Qing watched the security guard shovel away the things in the sand. The crowd around that small piece of beach dispersed and no one went there.
“They all think it’s dirty.”
She continued to observe the people on the beach, her eyes lingering on the men and women on the beach.
There are men, women, young and old, tall and short, fat and thin.
I don’t know if Yu Lequn’s sister would have come last night.
I think so.
She nudged Xu An and asked, "Do you have a photo of Yu Lequn's sister?"
Xu An opened his notebook and showed it to Pei Qing.
On the notebook is a photo of Zhang Yu Lequn and his sister.
This photo is a bit old.
Pei Qing took a look and said, "This is too small. Is there any nearby one?"
Xu An: "I can only find this one. His sister's name is Yu Shuixiu. Will she come to the beach today?"
Pei Qing: "She will come, right? She only has this one brother, and she came to ask, so she must be looking for him."
She searched the beach.
The summer vacation was almost over and there were few older children on the beach. She looked around but couldn't find Yu Shuixiu on the beach.
Xu An: "Yu Shuixiu is attending a boarding school. She should be in school now. The child did not call the police."
He logged into the system and looked, but did not see any alarm record for Yu Shuixiu.
Pei Qing curiously leaned over to take a look.
"You didn't call the police? What does Yu Lequn do? He didn't even call the police when his sister went missing."
Xu An checked Yu Lequn: "This is interesting. Yu Lequn has no fixed property. There are hundreds of thousands of cash in his card, but no fixed house or car. Yu Shuixiu has three houses and two cars. He didn't put the property in his own name, but gave it all to his sister."
Pei Qing: "Yu Shuixiu is underage, are all the properties under her name purchased in full?"
Xu An: "Yes, it looks like Yu Lequn has transferred his assets and is ready to run away at any time."
Pei Qing: "Even so, he still sends money to his sister on time every month. The brother and sister have a good relationship."
As the two were talking, Yang Xingping came back from the old man who was taking pictures.
Seeing them gathered together to look at the computer, Yang Xingping asked, "What did you find?"
Pei Qing: "I found that Yu Lequn has financial problems. What about you? What did the uncle say?"
Yang Xingping: "He and his wife take turns. At one o'clock his wife will come to replace him, and he will go home to eat a few bites of food. At about three o'clock, he will come back to continue waiting for tourists to take pictures. Look, his wife is here, and he is gone."
Xu An immediately got up from the bench.
"Then let's go too, and have a meal first."
Pei Qing held his chin up: "I want to eat ice cream, not dinner."
Xu An: "I'll buy it for you. Let's go. Why are you basking in the sun here? It's 36 degrees today."
He put his arm around Yang Xingping and said, "Brother, this is our first cooperation. I'll treat you to a meal. What do you want to eat? We will follow your wishes."
Yang Xingping shook his hand off.
“Who is the host and who is the guest?”
Pei Qing: "Of course I am the master. I have this!"
She held her tablet and shook it twice.
Pei Qing: "If you have the ability, draw one too."
She glanced at Xu An and Yang Xingping's faces and confirmed, "Neither of you can do it."
Xu An immediately pushed her head down: "Call me Second Brother."
Pei Qing was dissatisfied: "I'm talking to you about business, and you're talking to me about family, is this appropriate?"
The three of them obviously did not reach an agreement, and finally found a restaurant outside to eat.
After eating, we returned to the beach before three in the afternoon.
The people on the beach changed. It was three o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was high. Only warriors could come out to play at this time.
Pei Qing asked the two men next to him while applying sunscreen on himself.
"Would you like some sunscreen?"
Obviously, neither of these two men likes sunscreen and they all refused.
Pei Qing: "In this weather, you will get several degrees darker if you stay outside in the sun for an hour."
Xu An: "Wipe yours. If you're bored, take out your tablet and draw something."
Pei Qing shook his head: "You really care more about face than anything else."
After applying the sunscreen, she clapped her hands and prepared to take a walk on the beach.
"I'll go see if I can find Yu Shuixiu and send her photo to me. You two shouldn't go. Two grown men staring at a little girl, be careful that people will think you are hooligans."
Xu An sent her the photo of Yu Shuixiu.
Pei Qing strolled onto the beach. She didn't look at the woman in a swimsuit on the beach, but looked at the young girl walking on the beach and the girl sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree next to her.
Pei Qing walked around and took out his phone to check, but he didn't find a girl who looked like the person in the photo.
As a painter, she has a very firm grasp of the direction of people's facial features.
No matter how long Yu Shuixiu's facial features grow, her face will never change from a round face to a square face.
She walked around and found that Yu Shuixiu was really not there.
This girl didn't come?
So where is she now? She's not in school, is she?
Pei Qing walked around again but still couldn't find Yu Shuixiu. She was tired and planned to buy a bottle of water and also buy two bottles for her two colleagues.
Pei Qing was about to walk to the newsstand to buy some water when he suddenly heard a few words coming from beside him.
"Shuixiu, wait for me. I'll hold an umbrella for you. It's very sunny down there!"
"Hey, I want to come out to play, not to bask in the sun!"
"I didn't ask you to follow me."
"I'm not your best friend anymore. If you do this again, I won't go out with you next time."
"Shuixiu, walk slower, you'll get tanned soon, umbrella, umbrella!"
…
Pei Qing looked in the direction of the voice and saw two young girls, one wearing a suspender dress and the other wearing gray T-shirt shorts.
Yu Shuixiu?
She really came?
Pei Qing remembered the two people's appearance and clothing, and went to buy three bottles of water as planned.
When she came back, she handed the water to Xu An and Yang Xingping, and pointed out Yu Shuixiu's location to them.
Yu Shuixiu and her companions were at the beach. The girl in the halter dress was taking off her sandals and stepping into the sea.
Pei Qing couldn't help but say: "We don't know what will float in this sea. If a corpse floats in..."
She looked at the people diving in the sea with sympathy.
Xu An asked her to think of something good: "Put your thoughts aside, maybe there is no body, but relics."
Pei Qing: "Do you believe what you said?"
She looked at Yang Xingping: "Do you believe it?"
Yang Xingping obviously didn't believe it.
Xu An: "I found a speedboat and will go to the sea to have a look later. I'll leave one of you here. Who will stay?"
Pei Qing and Yang Xingping looked at each other. Pei Qing sat on the bench and said, "Let me see Yu Shuixiu over there."
Xu An reminded: "Don't talk to her."
Pei Qing: "I know. I'll have an excuse to get closer only when something comes up."
＊
The first day at the beach was fruitless.
Pei Qing observed Yu Shuixiu for a whole day without speaking to her.
It seems that Yu Shuixiu is a girl of few words. What her companion says in a few minutes is enough for her to talk for a whole day.
Two people, one quiet and one active, can still play together.
Xu An and Yang Xingping got off the speedboat and found nothing.
The three decided not to waste time and started with Yu Lequn's interpersonal relationships while looking at the beach.
Everything was planned well. The next morning, Xu An went to check Yu Lequn's call records, Yang Xingping went to check on the house rented by Yu Lequn, and Pei Qing went to the beach.
Just as Pei Qing arrived at the beach, he saw the waves surging on the beach, rolling an iron barrel onto the beach.
She immediately called Xu An and Yang Xingping.
After the call, the crowd on the beach had not yet gathered.
Pei Qing walked to the iron barrel a little nervously. In the drawing, there was no danger even with so many people around, so it should be fine now.
She kicked the iron bucket and it rolled around.
The bucket hit the rocks on the beach.
With a "bang", the iron bucket turned over. Its lid had long since floated away to who knows where, leaving only the bucket body, and some of the gray-brown soil in the bucket had fallen down.
Pei Qing had just squatted down to take a closer look when a few five or six-year-old children who were building castles on the beach ran over and asked, "Sister, did you bring mud? We want it too. Can you give us some? The sand keeps collapsing."
Pei Qing: "This is not mine."
For the physical and mental health of these children, she began to drive them away: "Go away, go away!"
The leading child was a brave one and said, "If it's not yours, then everyone who sees it should get a share."
Anyone who sees it gets a share? I'm afraid you'll have a nightmare at night.
Pei Qing: "No, I saw it first, so it's mine. You can take whatever you want. If you want, ask your parents to dig it for you. What's the point of stealing others' things?"
Pei Qing angrily drove the kids away and stayed behind to watch the iron barrel.
She carefully held the iron bucket with gloves on and then shook the bucket around.
In the soft soil, she seemed to see a few fingers...
Oh my god!
The barrel spun around.
Pei Qing hurriedly pressed the iron bucket into place.
While she was calling Xu An to urge him, she also called the forensic doctor according to the number Xu An gave her.
"Yes, what's on the beach below Yunteng Mountain? I saw a few fingers..."
As Pei Qing was talking, he saw Xu An's car speeding to the beach.
While waving at Xu An, she saw the child who had just been driven away walking in front of his parents, coming towards them with a proud and confident look.
This is to get back the place!
Pei Qing thought to himself, if I wasn’t kind-hearted, I would scare you to death, little brat!
