Chapter 59 Chapter 59 The Second Drawing
Pei Qing looked at the comments on the public screen, thought for a moment, and said, "You can draw it."
After all, the second boss and his neighbor were not relatives. Pei Qing turned the camera to face the white wall, and then began to paint with a paintbrush.
There was wailing in the live broadcast room.
【Ah, you don’t want to show it? 】
[I also want to see what the handsome guy looks like? ]
【unwise. 】
[Host, show us your drawing. We are all family. Don’t be so polite.]
[Hey, hey, hey, I came to the live broadcast room just to see this, why don’t you let me see it! ]
【It’s all because of that liar! 】
…
Pei Qing didn't look at the public screen any more, but focused on painting.
Her clean white drawing became colorful, and the first thing that appeared was a Persian carpet. Persian carpets have varied patterns, with red, white and blue blocks matching each other. Overall, the carpet has an orange hue.
As the carpet gradually took shape, there was a blue suitcase on top of it. A small opening was made in the suitcase, revealing some hair stained with black and red blood.
Pei Qing's heart sank. He stared at the suitcase in the drawing and recognized the brand of the suitcase.
It is a sports suitcase from Rimo, and the price is just over 10,000 yuan.
The blue sports model may be for men, but I can't be 100% sure.
The comments on the public screen were still scrolling. Pei Qing looked up and did not point the camera at the drawing. Instead, he said directly: [The result is not very good. Be prepared.]
【No. 】
[Yu Lu is usually very gentle, who would hurt him! ]
[Last time I had a birthday, he brought me a birthday cake. 】
[How come such a handsome guy is gone? 】
【Let’s call the police. 】
[Give me back my handsome boy——]
[Is there really no hope? Woohoo. 】
…

After the live broadcast, Pei Qing wrote down what happened in this live broadcast in his notebook.
While taking notes, she asked Yang Xingping on the phone: "How is your neighbor across the street these days? Why don't you go and get close to him and have a chat with him?"
Yang Xingping: "She asked me if I could install surveillance, and I agreed. I thought this woman was not very courageous. How could she pay attention to me if I, a grown man, tried to get close to her?"
Pei Qing: "She lives across from you, which means she's not afraid of you."
Based on P's police report receipt, Xu An saw the woman's name, hometown and ID number.
These are all possible cases that occurred in the live broadcast room and they all need attention.
Peng Yue, female, 27 years old, native of Sichuan, attended university in City A and stayed in City A to work after graduation.
She changed jobs frequently and called the police three times, all related to emotional disputes.
He checked and said, "Peng Yue called the police every time because of her ex-boyfriend. She has now moved to a place near the police station. This man is really amazing. What else does he do? He looks for his ex-girlfriend every day."
Pei Qing: "There are too many psychopaths. What should we do? Can we find a policeman nearby to take a look?"
Xu An: "Okay, we're probably going to be busy, I'll find someone to help take a look."
Pei Qing said to Yang Xingping: "Give your neighbors a heads up beforehand, don't scare them."
Yang Xingping: “I know.”
After talking about Peng Yue, the three began to talk about Yu Lu.
After verification, it was found that a week ago, Yu Lu's communication records and consumption records were normal, but on the first day of September, his communication records and consumption records stopped abruptly, and he never replied to other people's messages since that day.
Pei Qing: "It does look wrong. If you don't want to do this anymore, just say you're quitting. It looks like you've suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. Did you disappear on September 1st?"
Xu An: "Who knows, what time does this chain cake shop open?"
Yang Xingping stared at the micro-landscape cakes worth seven or eight thousand on his phone and said, "Open at eight in the morning."
After saying that, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this cake inlaid with gold? Seven or eight thousand for one?"
Pei Qing: "It depends on the style. Some more complicated ones are more expensive. But this cake shop is really not cheap. The cheapest slice of cake costs fifty or sixty."
Xu An: "Alright, alright, stop worrying about the cake, go to bed early and get up to work tomorrow morning!"
＊
The next morning, Yang Xingping walked out of the house and knocked on the door of his neighbor opposite.
There was an electronic peephole installed on the door. After waiting for a few minutes, Yang Xingping heard footsteps inside the door. The footsteps stopped at the door for a few times, and then the door opened.
Peng Yue asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Xingping handed her a piece of paper.
Peng Yue was surprised: "What is this?"
Yang Xingping: "I heard from the agent that you deliberately looked for a house near the Public Security Bureau. I'm busy recently and not at home. My colleague often comes over. Here is his phone number. Call him if you have any questions."
Peng Yue was surprised: "Oh, thank you."
Yang Xingping: “No need.”
After saying that, he went downstairs.
Peng Yue stared at the piece of paper in her hand that was torn from somewhere, feeling a little surprised.
The policeman next door looks scary, but he is actually very helpful.
＊
At eight o'clock in the morning, just when the cake shop opened, Pei Qing had already arrived at the door of the cake shop.
A sweet aroma was wafting from the entrance of the cake shop, attracting a bunch of flying insects.
Pei Qing distributed masks to Xu An and Yang Xingping.
She said as if it was normal: "Put it on."
Yang Xingping stared at the flying insects at the door and said, "How can business be good with so many insects?"
Pei Qing: "Business is good, mainly because the shop assistants are handsome men and beautiful women, with high emotional value, and the shop is very clean."
Xu An watched Pei Qing and Yang Xingping chatting again, and felt that he had the responsibility to steer the car, so he quickly drove them out of the car.
"Go find the manager. He called the police yesterday."
Pei Qing and Yang Xingping were kicked out of the car, and Xu An drove the car to the next parking space.
Pei Qing walked quickly to the cake shop.
Don't worry about the flying insects outside the cake shop. The cake shop is clean and bright. If there wasn't a sign saying "Be careful of head bumping" on the glass door, someone would really bump into it without paying attention.
Pei Qing and Yang Xingping walked into the cake shop.
The employees in the cake shop all wear uniforms. The uniforms are waist-hugging and well-cut, making everyone look tall, with long legs and an upright posture when they wear them.
As soon as the two walked in, a shop assistant came over with a tray and said with a smile: "Welcome, what can I do for you? This is the new herbal tea in the store, would you like to try it?"
Pei Qing shook his head: "No, is your manager here?"
The clerk put away the plates and said in a clear voice with a smile, "The manager is in there. Is there anything you need? I'll go get the manager for you right away."
Yang Xingping showed his ID: "Police, you reported yesterday that an employee was missing."
The clerk suddenly realized what was going on and led the two men to the manager's office.
The manager was still looking at the computer. When he saw the clerk bring in two strangers, he stood up and looked at him questioningly.
Shop assistant: “Manager, this is the police.”
The manager nodded and said to her, "Go back to work."
After the clerk left, he poured water for Pei Qing and Yang Xingping, and wondered in his heart why the police who came were so young.
Although he thought so in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he asked, "I told the police everything I should have said when I called them yesterday. Do you have any other questions?"
Pei Qing took out the alarm record he got from the police station and asked, "I want to follow up on this."
Manager: "What's your question, police comrade?"
After saying this, he felt that he had acted a little cold, so he followed up with a few more sentences.
"In fact, Yu Lu is very serious at work, rarely comes in late or leaves early, and has been working for me for more than a month without any problems. At first, he didn't answer the phone, so I thought he didn't want to do it anymore and was sullen for a few days. Later, I couldn't get in touch with him, and it was time to check his salary, but he still didn't answer the phone. Then I felt something was wrong and it was my negligence."
The manager seemed like a decent guy.
Pei Qing asked carefully: "What date did Yu Lu come here to work?"
Manager: “Late July, early August.”
Pei Qing: "So he is still in the probation period?"
The manager nodded: "So I didn't suspect he was missing at first. I thought he didn't want to do it anymore."
Pei Qing: "Why don't you want to do it? Your company's treatment is pretty good."
The manager also affirmed: "The treatment is very good, but these good-looking young people have many ways to make money and have better career prospects. Who would want to work such a punctual shift?"
Pei Qing made another note.
Based on his answer, Yang Xingping asked, "Does he have a better way out?"
The manager said vaguely: "I am so old, there is a generation gap between me and the young people. Who knows what these young people think?"
Yang Xingping glanced at him. He hated those who only said half of what they said, so he asked directly, "Do you have any problem with him?"
This is unacceptable.
The manager shook his head repeatedly.
"How can I do that? The most I can do is to control their work attitude. As long as they don't make mistakes at work, I can't control anything else."
Pei Qing heard it.
"Besides working here, does Yu Lu have any other hobbies after get off work?"
The manager took a sip of water and saw that the male police officer in front of him looked stern and seemed to be about to scold him, so he hurriedly said, "I'm not sure. These young people are the rising sun and are full of energy. It's common for them to go to bars and dance after get off work. I can't control this."
Pei Qing asked, "Is there any place he often goes to?"
The manager shook his head: "I have to go home after get off work to help my children with their homework. I watch them do their homework until 11 o'clock every day. I really don't know about these things."
He looked at the young policewoman in front of him and sighed, "It's good to be young. Oh, I just realized now that you can't get married too early. Look at the employees in my store, some are handsome, some are pretty, but once they get married and have children, their faces become rough in less than a month. Children are annoying, and you can't just push them back..."
Yang Xingping raised his eyebrows impatiently and interrupted the conversation: "Alright, alright."
He remembered the clock-in machine he saw when he entered the door, and asked, "Send us a copy of Yu Lu's clock-in record."
The manager cooperated and said, "Sure, I'll upload it right away."
Pei Qing pointed at the clerk and asked, "Can we talk to the clerk? They are all employees. They have more contact than you."
The manager nodded: "Okay, let's solve this problem as soon as possible. Customers have been asking about this recently. I will have an explanation when there is a result."
＊
Xu An parked the car and walked into the cake shop, where he saw Pei Qing and Yang Xingping questioning the clerk.
There weren't many people ordering cakes in the morning, otherwise the manager wouldn't have allowed them to do so.
Xu An walked up to Pei Qing and heard Pei Qing ask a female clerk.
"Is this the only WeChat account of Yulu?"
She asked this because she knew that some people have two WeChat accounts after work, one for work and one for personal use.
The salesgirl nodded first, then shook her head.
"I'm not sure either. Yu Lu doesn't post on WeChat Moments very often, at most he posts flowers and plants, like today's cake. I don't know if he has other accounts."
Pei Qing asked again: "Doesn't he have any good colleagues here?"
The female clerk said: "He has only been here for a month. He has just started to get to know everyone. He doesn't play particularly well with them. They are all about the same."
Pei Qing: "Did he ever say before that he was tired from work and wanted to quit?"
The female clerk said: "No, he is always very serious at work. Some female customers like to order him and ask him to deliver birthday cakes."
Pei Qing remembered the manager's hidden meaning and asked another question.
"What does Yu Lu do after get off work? Did he tell me?"
The female clerk said: "It's just karaoke and drinking, but it didn't affect his work, so it's nothing, just relax after get off work."
The female clerk looked back at the male clerk on Yang Xingping's side, and curled her lips, diluting the stereotyped smile on her face and revealing her true expression.
She said to Pei Qing: "Comrade police officer, don't listen to those men's nonsense. They spread rumors every day."
Pei Qing: "Hmm? What rumors are they making up?"
The female clerk said: "Let's talk about Yu Lu's plastic surgery. One time, Yu Lu's ID card fell off and was picked up by them. They stared at the photo on Yu Lu's ID card and insisted that Yu Lu had plastic surgery. The photo on Yu Lu's ID card was taken in high school, and she looked rustic. It's been several years now, and it's normal for her to learn makeup and change her appearance. These men are jealous! They are just jealous of Yu Lu's good performance."
Um?
Pei Qing was first amused by her remark that "men are sour chickens", and then when she said that Yu Lu's performance was good, he asked, "Is Yu Lu's performance the best among them?"
The female clerk affirmed: "Yu Lu is handsome and speaks in a non-greasy way. Rich female customers like to order him to deliver goods."
Pei Qing glanced at the male shop assistants next to Yang Xingping, then looked at the wall.
There is a half-length photo of the store clerk on the wall.
She compared them and found that Yu Lu was indeed better looking than these male shop assistants.
Could it be because of work conflicts?
She thought again of the suitcase worth more than ten thousand yuan and the Persian carpet, which did not seem like something these male shop assistants could afford.
But that's not necessarily the case. Pei Qing had heard before that the average salary of the shop assistants here was 10,000 yuan. If he really wanted to buy it, he could afford it.
We still need to continue checking.
