Chapter 69 Chapter 69 The Third Drawing
Pei Qing pulled a few strands of hair, leaving nothing on the drawing. She sat in the back seat of the car, while Yang Xingping sat in the front driver's seat. Seeing Pei Qing's confusion, he asked her, "Shall I order you a cup of milk tea?"
Pei Qing didn't want it, but studied the drawing in his hand again.
The sunlight slanted on Pei Qing's body, half of her body was bathed in the warm sun, while the other half was shrouded in the cold wind. Between this cold and hot, Pei Qing kept sketching on the tablet with her paintbrush.
Soon, a teahouse appeared on the tablet.
The teahouse is two stories high, with wooden hollow windows under the red bricks.
The waiter in a short jacket and horse-faced skirt stood quietly in the teahouse. On the round yellow pear wood table were several plates of exquisite and small snacks.
Pei Qing continued to complete the picture on the tablet. There was an old-style plaque above the main entrance of the teahouse, which read: Zhiyang Teahouse.
"Zhiyang Teahouse."
Yang Xingping read it out, and soon, he took out his mobile phone and searched the address. Zhiyang Teahouse is a private teahouse, 20 kilometers away from the sanatorium.
How did this teahouse become connected with the Friendship Sanatorium?
Pei Qing and Yang Xingping immediately rushed to Zhiyang Teahouse. On the way there, Pei Qing sent a message to Xu An, telling him the destination, and then the two of them went to Zhiyang Teahouse with two special police officers.
When we arrived at the teahouse, it was already 6:30 in the afternoon. The sun was not very strong at this time. Guests in Zhiyang Teahouse were sitting in groups of three or four on either side of the pear wood tables, looking relaxed and seemingly unaware of the dirty deeds going on behind the scenes of this teahouse.
Pei Qing observed for a while and found that these guests were really just drinking tea. They took a sip of the tea and then savored it slowly.
Pei Qing was not old enough to appreciate tea, nor did she understand the art of making tea, but she knew that something was wrong with this teahouse.
If you thoroughly check the teahouse, you will definitely find Yu Lu.
Zhiyang Teahouse was soon under control, and Pei Qing asked the waiters to stand in rows.
The owner of the teahouse was not in the teahouse now. Only a woman in her thirties wearing a blue cheongsam stopped Pei Qing.
She said angrily: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
Pei Qing glanced at her, pointed at the special police standing guard at the door, and said to her: "Are you blind? The police are investigating the case."
The woman looked at the SWAT and turned away.
Pei Qing pressed her down on the chair.
She glanced at the woman several times to make sure that her cell phone was not on her.
She felt relieved and said to the guests in the teahouse, "I'm sorry to waste your time. Please cooperate with me."
Several middle-aged and elderly guests looked at each other. Some of them reached out to take their cell phones, but were quickly stopped by the special police.
Pei Qing said coldly: "If you obstruct law enforcement, you will be sentenced to detention or control. Please cooperate. It won't take long."
Several guests looked at the tall and strong special police officer, then looked at Pei Qing, muttering to themselves, but still endured it.
This teahouse has two floors, with a wooden staircase connecting the first and second floors.
Yang Xingping quickly walked around the first and second floors and found nothing unusual.
His eyes began to move downwards. Does this teahouse have a basement?
He asked a few waiters, and they shook their heads.
Only the woman in cheongsam lowered her head when she heard Yang Xingping's question.
Pei Qing noticed something wrong at that moment.
Pei Qing immediately grabbed the cheongsam woman and shook her violently: "Where is the basement?"
Obviously, this woman knew the truth.
The cheongsam woman was grabbed by her wrist, and in his haste, Pei Qing left several finger marks on the woman's wrist.
Even so, she did not let go of the woman's hand.
No matter what, we must find fish land today.
If we can’t find it today, Yu Lu will be in danger.
The cheongsam woman shook Pei Qing's hand away, refusing to cooperate. Pei Qing and Yang Xingping could only look for it themselves.
Pei Qing asked the waiter: "Where does this woman usually stay?"
The waiter's hand trembled, and then he pointed to the backyard.
"Right, right behind."
The back she was talking about was the yard behind the teahouse. Behind the yard, where the fence and green vines were intertwined, the woman had a separate office, where she usually stayed.
The waiter glanced at the woman in cheongsam and added another sentence.
"She has been staying in the office much longer than before recently, sometimes not even coming out during the day..."
The woman in the cheongsam glared at the waiter who was speaking with hatred. The waiter stiffened his neck and lowered his head.
Pei Qing and Yang Xingping found the cheongsam woman's office.
The floor of the office was a yellow wooden floor. In the office of about 40 to 50 square meters, Pei Qing and Yang Xingping searched inch by inch.
There is definitely something wrong with this office.
Where was Yulu trapped?
Pei Qing stepped on the wooden floor beneath her feet. She stepped dozens of times and then stopped.
Yang Xingping didn't notice anything wrong, so he lay on the ground and listened to the sound under the wooden floor.
“Boom boom boom—”
There were noises coming from under the wooden floor, and Yang Xingping asked Pei Qing to keep quiet.
The office fell silent, and he heard a series of "dong dong dong" sounds, which sounded like hands knocking on the floor.
Yang Xingping waved to Pei Qing.
"There are people down there."
His hands searched on the wooden floor, and the knocking sounds under the wooden floor became more and more rapid. Gradually, Pei Qing discovered that the farther Yang Xingping was from her, the more rapid and frequent the knocking sounds became. She thought about it and asked Yang Xingping to come closer, and Yang Xingping took a few steps towards her.
Sure enough, the knocking sounds under the wooden floor slowed down.
Pei Qing immediately said to Yang Xingping: "You are going in the wrong direction. It's this direction, this is my direction."
Yang Xingping approached Pei Qing, and the two of them fumbled around in the four or five square meters area. Soon, Yang Xingping touched a place that felt strange. He looked at the floor and found a dent, and the color was slightly darker than the other floors, only a little bit. Yang Xingping quickly pressed down on the wooden floor.
A wooden staircase with only four or five sections appeared under the wooden floor.
Pei Qing said in surprise: "It's here!"
She and Yang Xingping quickly walked down along the wooden floor. The basement was very small, only five or six square meters. A man was lying on the ground with his right arm stretched forward, and drops of blood were flowing on the ground.
He was half lying on the ground and saw a man and a woman coming down. The strength in his hands loosened and his right arm suddenly fell down.
He was the one knocking on the wood floor just now.
"Fishland?"
Pei Qing shouted.
Yu Lu raised his head with an effort and glanced at Pei Qing.
His face was covered in blood, and Pei Qing wiped his face.
It’s Yulu!
Pei Qing was so happy that he cried and started calling 120.
Yu Lu looked very disheveled. His pants were wrinkled like pickles that had been rubbed repeatedly. There were also many footprints on his legs, some of which had clumped together on his pants.
His upper body was in better condition than his lower body, but his left hand was hanging on the ground and remained motionless.
Yang Xingping approached him and touched his left arm.
Yu Lu's left arm was sore and weak, his breathing was weak, and Yang Xingping could not feel the rise and fall of his chest.
When Yang Xingping approached Yu Lu, Yu Lu barely managed to squeeze out the strength to say, "It's broken."
Yang Xingping glanced at him. Yu Lu had sunken cheeks and gray skin, but his eyes were bright when he looked at people.
This is a strong-willed person.
Yang Xingping: "The ambulance will be here soon, just hold on."
Soon, the doctors and nurses in the ambulance came down and gave Yu Lu a basic check-up, and several people worked together to push him into the ambulance.
After examination by the doctor, Yu Lu was found to have multiple fractures and cracks in his body, the most serious of which was his right foot, which was almost a comminuted fracture.
The doctor couldn't bear it and asked Pei Qing: "How did you get all these injuries? It looks like you were abused. This kind of thing cannot be tolerated!"
Pei Qing promised: "We will catch him as soon as possible."
The doctor sighed: "But this patient is very stubborn. He didn't make a sound when I examined him and gave him medicine just now."
Pei Qing glanced at Yu Lu in the ward and found that he was indeed a ruthless person.
Yu Lu was lying on the hospital bed. Yang Xingping lifted his bed and let him half lean on it. Yu Lu opened his mouth and talked to Yang Xingping. When he was carried into the ambulance, he saw the special police in uniform outside the teahouse.
He did not relax for a moment, nor did he dare to close his eyes. He refused the painkillers and said a few words to Yang Xingping, who then nodded at him, indicating that he understood.
Yang Xingping called back Pei Qing, who was communicating with the doctor at the door.
"You watch here, I'm going to get something."
Pei Qing: "Things? What?"
“Things Yu Lu filmed in the sanatorium.”
Yang Xingping quickly rushed to the express delivery cabinet that Yu Lu mentioned. He clicked on the screen and entered the pickup code that Yu Lu mentioned.
Soon, the express cabinet on the right side of the second row on the left was opened, and Yang Xingping saw a white express bag. He touched the bag and found two hard objects inside, which looked and felt like two USB flash drives.
He carefully tore open the express bag, and a piece of paper floated out of it.
This piece of paper was torn from a notebook, and it said: Please make two copies and send them anonymously to the Narcotics Control Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and Director Zhou of the Journalism Department of Wenzhou University.
The specific address is as follows...
Yang Xingping took a quick look at it, put the USB flash drive in the express bag into his pocket, and quickly left the express cabinet.
Just after leaving the express cabinet, Yang Xingping received a call from Pei Qing.
"Did you get the stuff?"
Yang Xingping nodded: "I got it."
He first returned to the car, copied the contents of the USB drive to the computer, and then drove back to the hospital.
The USB drive contained the video recorded by the pinhole camera that Yu Lu secretly placed in the ward.
In the video, several people in blue and white striped hospital gowns were crying and tearing at the doctor in front of them.
With just one look, Yang Xingping knew that this was an addiction.
In the video, the patient burst into tears, fell off the bed, knelt in front of the doctor, and uttered a few words incoherently.
The doctor nonchalantly took a contract at hand and the patient quickly signed it.
The doctor smiled, took out a needle and injected it into the patient's arm.
Yang Xingping closed the computer in anger.
Pei Qing was persuading Yu Lu to take a rest.
"I got the stuff. You should get some sleep first. The doctor said you need to rest."
Yu Luqiang propped himself up on the hospital bed and asked, "Lin Dazhi, can you help me find him? He's missing!"
Pei Qing looked at Yu Lu's weak but expectant eyes and said nothing.
Yu Lu looked at her reaction and quickly understood.
"Did you find his body?"
Pei Qing had to tell the truth, Yu Lu was not fragile and he did not need sympathy.
"His body was sent to the funeral home, cremated and buried. I will have that spot dug out."
Yu Lu looked at Pei Qing quietly, making sure she was not lying.
He endured it and lowered his head.
Even his exposed neck was covered with black and purple handprints, and Pei Qing tucked the quilt in for him.
"Get some sleep."
