Chapter 72 Chapter 72 The First Drawing
On September 16, Pei Qing drove to the Municipal Bureau. The office was empty. Xu An and Yang Xingping were busy in the Narcotics Control Division. Pei Qing opened the computer out of habit and saw the blank case summary on the computer. He rubbed his eyes.
I started feeling sleepy early in the morning.
She took a sip of coffee, then found her notebook, looked over the details she had recorded, and began to write a summary.
The case is relatively complicated, so the case summaries of the Serious Crime Squad and the Narcotics Control Office must be written separately and then submitted to the Bureau of Investigation together.
At the beginning of the investigation, Director Shen had emphasized that the law must be strictly enforced and no suspect should be let go. Therefore, the Narcotics Control Office acted cautiously and wanted to investigate all the people who came out of the nursing home. These people were potential drug addicts, and no one knew when they would explode.
They were too busy, so they called Xu An and Yang Xingping over to help. The pressure was huge, and the Narcotics Bureau was full of heavy smokers, so the office was filled with smoke.
Once, Pei Qing saw Director Shen standing outside their office for a long time. He endured it and didn't go in and kick over these old smokers.
Pei Qing sighed. She was the only one who had to write the case summary.
“Da da da—”
The sound of typing on keyboards rang out in the office.
At around ten o'clock, Xu An came back. He saw Pei Qing typing on the computer, so he walked over to take a look.
Xu An praised it highly: "It's very well written. My sister really has a talent for writing case summaries. I'll continue writing next time."
Pei Qing glared at him. Only the last sentence of Xu An's words was the key point.
These were the jobs he had done before. If Xu An hadn't been too busy this time, Pei Qing wouldn't have to do this job.
It's fine if he just did it once, but he wants her to do it again next time?
Not long after Xu An came back, he went to the Narcotics Enforcement Office again.
It was not until noon that he and Yang Xingping returned to the office.
Each of them held a plastic bag in their hands, and the aroma of food wafted out of the bags.
Pei Qing sniffed and asked, "Which restaurant did you order from? It doesn't smell like the one we ordered from before."
Xu An: "It's ordered by the Narcotics Control Office. What do you want to eat? Minced pork eggplant, spicy chicken, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, braised hairtail, we have them all."
Pei Qing: "The dishes are quite rich."
Xu An: "Although the Narcotics Control Office is so busy, you have helped them a lot. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Otherwise, if this sanatorium continues to develop like this, sooner or later a new drug lord will emerge."
Pei Qing looked at the disposable lunch boxes brought back by Xu An and Yang Xingping. They smelled delicious.
She said to Xu An, "What's the name of this restaurant? It looks good. Let's order from this restaurant next time."
Xu An: "Okay."
After dinner, Xu An and Yang Xingping went to the Narcotics Control Office to help, while Pei Qing continued to write her case summary.
Pei Qing wrote until six in the afternoon. She rubbed her shoulders and read the case summary from beginning to end. She closed the computer only after she was sure there were no problems.
She called Xu An.
Xu An asked her to wait and would go home with her immediately.
Pei Qing asked, "Are you done?"
"Yeah, that's about it. There are so many people left in the Narcotics Bureau. They will handle some of the corner cases themselves."
Sure enough, before seven o'clock, Xu An came back from the Narcotics Control Office. Yang Xingping did not return to the office, but went straight home.
Pei Qing drove Xu An home.
Xu An fell asleep in the car before reaching home.
He woke up slowly only when Pei Qing drove the car into the garage.
Pei Qing felt sorry for him: "Go to bed early after dinner."
Xu An yawned.
"Are you going live tonight? You've been postponing it for a few days."
Pei Qing: "Go to sleep. I'll call you if there's any problem after the live broadcast. If I don't call you, then everything is fine."
Xu An: "Okay."

Pei Qing continued the live broadcast at 8 o'clock in the evening.
As soon as the live broadcast room opened, people quickly flocked in.
【I've never seen this before.】
[Grandma, your favorite anchor is finally on air. ]
【Hello, Master.】
[It's been a long time since I last watched it. I didn't know this host was on my follow list. 】
[Look, look, your fans are all going to leave, but you are still doing it. How can you continue to do it? You should broadcast live according to the breakfast, lunch and dinner time.]
[I am dying of laughter. Can I give you a meal? 】
…
Pei Qing pretended not to see it. How could he want her to live broadcast three times a day? How was that possible!
She began to fiddle with the microphone button in the live broadcast room. This was a new button that only allowed for one-way connection. The voice of the boss who came to request a work could be heard, but Pei Qing's voice would not be recorded.
She clicked to prepare for the microphone connection, and the microphone button showed "Preparing".
[The anchor is planning to connect with someone via mic? ]
[After so many days of postponement, are you finally going to give us a heads-up? ]
Assistant Tips: [Only one-way connection. Please click the connection button directly if you are interested. I will sort you out in the order of clicks. Please do not deliberately occupy the connection button. If there is an emergency, you can also call me in the background. Please speak your mind honestly, abide by the law, and block anyone who lies! ]
【upscale! 】
[The live broadcast room even has an assistant. 】
[Anchor, you seem to be back after an upgrade.
[I thought the anchor was always broadcasting alone. ]
[Can I tease the assistant? ]
Assistant: [I will block you. ]
【Ha ha ha ha. 】
【It's booming and trance-like. 】
…
Pei Qing glanced at the public screen. This little assistant has a good sense of the internet, but I wonder if he is a man or a woman underneath his skin.
She thought about it and didn't care.
Anyway, this little assistant doesn’t know whether she is a man or a woman.
Soon, the first person to connect to the microphone came online.
"Hello--"
It was a female voice, and it was trembling a little.
"My daughter is missing," she choked up. "My daughter is only six years old. She is very well behaved and would not run around alone. I was just buying vegetables that day. There were many people in the market and I was squeezed. When I turned around, my daughter was gone."
"I... I looked for a long time. I also looked for people from the vegetable market. I also called the police. The police checked the surveillance cameras, but they found that the surveillance cameras at the vegetable market were broken..."
"I heard from my sister that you are very good at fortune-telling. She asked me to come and ask you, please..."
【Has she been kidnapped? 】
[No way, in broad daylight, someone was kidnapped? ]
[Sister, don't cry. Wait until you find the person. ]
[6 years old, that's the last year of kindergarten, right? ]
[The surveillance camera is broken? You are so unlucky. 】
[Let’s find the child first. How long has he been missing? ]
"I wanted to buy groceries on Friday morning and send her to kindergarten, but after I did, my An An was lost."
[Today is the fourth day, so the children can leave the province after four days.]
…
Pei Qing glanced at the backstage and looked at the photo of the little girl that was sent to her.
The little girl was wearing a white princess dress with diamonds. She had no bangs and a simple ponytail that fell by her neck. She had double eyelids, a high nose bridge, and her lips were curved, revealing a dimple on the left side.
Pei Qing's eyes lit up. What a cute human cub.
She clicked on the tablet, which lit up and a blank drawing appeared on the public screen.
Pei Qing looked at the photo of the little girl again, Zhao Cen'an, six years old. She tried to get the feel for it before starting to write on the tablet.
She drew very carefully, starting with the little girl's face. Unlike the smiling face in the photo, the girl in this drawing had a stiff complexion, numb eyes, and something stuffed in her mouth. She was very scared, so she curled herself up and hid in a corner.
After finishing painting Zhao Cen'an, Pei Qing painted the background behind the little girl.
It was like a train carriage. There were no windows in the carriage, so of course there was no light and the scene was dim.
Looking more closely at the drawing, you can see that there are bumps on the surface of the carriage, like traces left by some hard object.
Pei Qing tried hard to extend the picture around Zhao Cen'an. Zhao Cen'an was hiding in the inner side of the carriage with his hands and feet together. A little further away from her were several black suitcases that were three times as wide as Zhao Cen'an's. A computer desk was placed on top of the suitcases. Next to the computer desk were several common large express boxes, which were sealed with large tapes.
Pei Qing displayed the draft drawing on the public screen for Zhao Cen'an's mother to see for herself.
【What kind of car is this? 】
[It looks a bit like the Huolala I hired before. ]
[It's a bit like saying, whose luggage is in here? ]
[Wait, wait, wait, zoom in on this picture. There is a tracking number on this courier box. ]
[Let the police check, this express delivery number is easy to check. ]
Pei Qing also saw it. She looked at her drawing again and her eyes fell on the express number and this carriage.
The carriage was like the interior of a truck, with only Zhao Cen'an as the child.
Pei Qing was a little puzzled. If it was a child trafficking case, shouldn't there be only one child?
Why put the luggage together with Zhao Cen?
