Chapter 87 Chapter 87 The Second Drawing
Pei Qing looked at the drawing carefully, then turned the tablet to Xu An and Yang Xingping.
"look."
Xu An first saw the obvious cement on the drawing and said, "This is really not good news."
Yang Xingping's attention was on the woman in the drawing.
The woman's figure was not slender, her back was not straight, and her exposed wrists were not white and tender.
Yang Xingping: "Not like a young woman."
He turned to Xu An and asked, "Do you look like Liu Fan?"
Liu Fan is Qin Man's wife in the legal sense. Qin Man deliberately wants to divorce Liu Fan. Liu Fan does have a motive for committing a crime.
Xu An found a photo of Liu Fan. Liu Fan was not tall. He compared the heights of the wall and the woman in the drawing and felt that they were not alike.
"This woman looks much taller than Liu Fan. She's about 1.7 meters tall. Liu Fan is not even 1.6 meters tall."
Pei Qing glanced at the photo of Liu Fan. Liu Fan was thin and small. If it were her, she would not be able to deal with Qin Man's body by herself.
Pei Qing also raised an objection: "Qin Man would not be called down from Qiao Pan's house by Liu Fan. This scumbag only cares about his own happiness. Oh, Qin Man even made an excuse, saying that Zhang Wenli came to see him."
Yang Xingping: "Do you still think Qin Man was called downstairs by other women?"
Pei Qing: "Yes, I don't know why they kept their relationship secret. By the way, how many cars left the community that night?"
Late at night, there are usually more cars entering the community than leaving.
Xu An and Yang Xingping screened out more than twenty vehicles according to time periods.
First, the time is set after Qin Man left Qiao Pan's house.
Twenty-three vehicles were screened out from several gates with surveillance cameras.
It's already eight or nine o'clock, and people are still going out. The nightlife is quite rich.
The two men registered the license plates and spent the entire day checking the owners of the vehicles.
In addition, the three people also collected evidence at the side door of the community’s north gate.
According to the uncle who is guarding the gate, the north gate is a side door and a small road. Sometimes when a car drives out and encounters an oncoming car, if the two cars do not give way to each other, the traffic jam can last for a long time. There are fewer cars going this way.
But when I asked carefully about the license plate number of the vehicle coming out of the north gate, the old man could not provide any help.
He is old, and usually moves a bench to sit at the door, acting as a mascot. No one really expects him to discover anything different.
Pei Qing had no choice but to walk out of the north gate with Xu An. Fortunately, there were several shops near the north gate, and Xu An and Pei Qing could borrow their surveillance cameras.
The store here is open, but because it is in a remote location, there are not many customers, and the installed surveillance camera can only see a small area around the door.
But it's better than nothing.
Pei Qing made a copy of the surveillance footage and brought it back to the bureau, and the three of them started to get busy again.
Pei Qing was busy until noon and was dizzy from watching the surveillance videos.
There were a bunch of license plate numbers listed on the whiteboard.
Xu An and Yang Xingping were checking these vehicles and they suffered setbacks from time to time.
Those who go out late at night are either women who have nothing to do and rely on men for food, or men who are married and want to have affairs.
In a word, two words: difficult.
The two of them would occasionally quarrel with others on the phone.
Pei Qing sneezed again and received a call from Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen had prepared dinner and asked Pei Qing to go downstairs to get the lunch box.
This is the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and it is not convenient for her to find Pei Qing's office directly.
Pei Qing hung up the phone and went downstairs directly.
Aunt Chen was carrying a four-layer thermos and sitting on the wooden sofa at the side of the hall. When she saw Pei Qing, she waved at her.
Pei Qing ran over happily: "Aunt Chen, thank you for your help."
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "You guys work hard too."
She has been raising Pei Qing since she was a child and they have developed a close relationship. She is unwilling to let her son go abroad to reunite with the family. If she stays here, she will be taken care of by her host family. If she goes abroad, she can neither understand foreign languages nor have any friends. Why bother?
Before she came to deliver the meal today, Li Muxu asked her to check on Pei Qing's condition. Pei Qing had rarely been sick since he was a child, but once he was sick he would stay for several days.
Pei Qing took the lunch box, and Aunt Chen looked at her face carefully. It was a little red.
Pei Qing was holding the lunch box, and it felt heavy when he touched it.
This is how many dishes are packed.
Pei Qing: "Aunt Chen, I'm leaving now. Please be careful on your way back."
Aunt Chen didn't rush to leave, she grabbed Pei Qing.
"Ah Qing."
Aunt Chen touched her forehead.
"Do you have a fever again?"
Pei Qing: "Hmm? No."
Aunt Chen: "Look at you, your nose is red, are you dizzy?"
Pei Qing was indeed a little dizzy. She thought it was because of what she had just seen on the surveillance camera, which was a little shaky.
Aunt Chen was well prepared. She took out a thermometer from her bag and planned to take Pei Qing's temperature.
In public, Pei Qing made assurances several times before taking the thermometer back to the office.
Aunt Chen was still worried: "Mr. Li will definitely call you later."
Pei Qing kept saying “hmm” for a long time before finally sending Aunt Chen away.
I went back and took my temperature and suddenly found that it was 38 degrees.
Pei Qing's forehead was full of question marks.
It's already 38 degrees, I don't feel anything!
She measured it again, finished the game, 38.1.
Xu An took the thermometer and said, "It's already 38 degrees. Don't you feel it?"
He put his hand on Pei Qing's forehead, which was burning hot.
Xu An: "Let me take you to the hospital first."
Pei Qing: "Just take some antipyretic medicine."
Xu An: "Come on, my brother will definitely call me soon, let's go."
He glanced at Yang Xingping, who was eating the four dishes and a soup brought by Aunt Chen. He nodded to Xu An, indicating that he would continue the investigation.
Xu An sent Pei Qing to his own hospital. When Pei Qing got in the car, he could still speak. But when the car stopped in front of the hospital, Pei Qing was already a little dizzy.
Xu An dragged her to the hospital. The nurse took her temperature first and found it was 38.7. Doctor Liu came out, took the thermometer from the nurse and asked, "Why are you here now?"
Xu An: "It was only 38.1 before I came here."
Dr. Liu used to be Pei Qing's family doctor and was very familiar with Pei Qing.
"Let's hang up the water first."
Pei Qing: "Ah? I don't want to hang up."
Doctor Liu was smiling and not angry.
"Mr. Li will be here soon, tell your brother."
Pei Qing finally hung up the water.
She looked at the needle in her hand impatiently and urged Xu An to go back to work.
"Uncle Liu is here, it's okay."
Xu An touched her head again.
Pei Qing was arranged to stay in a single room and was now lying on the bed. She slapped Xu An's hand away.
"It's really alright!"
Xu An: "Then I'm leaving."
Pei Qing: "Let's go, Yang Xingping can't handle it alone."
Xu An thought it was not a good idea to let Yang Xingping work alone, so he went back to the Municipal Bureau first.
Before leaving, he called Li Muxu and told him Pei Qing's ward number.
＊
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Muxu arrived at the ward. Before he saw Pei Qing, he saw Dr. Liu looking a little worried.
Li Muxu: "What's wrong?"
Doctor Liu: "Mr. Li, Ah Qing's temperature keeps fluctuating. It was 37.9 just now, and it became 38.5 just now."
Li Muxu: "Is the fever still not gone?"
Doctor Liu: "No, her fever used to only come back at night, not during the day."
Li Muxu paused and walked towards the ward.
The walls of the ward were light beige, and Pei Qing was lying quietly on the bed.
She fell asleep.
Li Muxu put his hands on her face.
Pei Qing's shallow breathing was quiet at hand.
Doctor Liu examined Pei Qing again.
“It’s not a bacterial infection either.”
Li Muxu: "Observe first."
Doctor Liu: "That's fine. Fortunately, it was discovered early. If the fever reached 39 degrees, it would be dangerous."
Li Muxu sat in front of Pei Qing's bed. Seeing that her lips were dry, he took a cotton swab from the side and dipped it in water on her lips.
He called Xu An and asked, "Did Pei Qing draw the draft today?"
Xu An was anxiously checking the license plate number. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "She drew it this morning. Could she have drawn it from a draft? She has never done this before."
Li Muxu: "People with low immunity are more susceptible to viruses."
Xu An: "Her fever hasn't subsided yet?"
Li Muxu: "She used to get sick and it would recur. Let's observe for two days first."
He hung up the phone and saw Pei Qing lifted the quilt because of the heat, so he covered her with the quilt again.

Municipal Public Security Bureau, Xu An and Yang Xingping continued to check the vehicles recorded on the whiteboard.
After checking the more than 20 vehicles, the two found that the owners of these vehicles could be contacted and there was no loss of contact.
Based on these people's testimonies, the two men ran around for another afternoon to check the places these people said they were going.
They only go to a few places, either nightclubs or open-air restaurants with sea views, all of which are places for eating, drinking and having fun. The surveillance cameras can capture them coming in and out.
Checking these vehicles did not seem to help the case.
Yang Xingping: "What should we do next?"
Xu An pressed the tip of his pen and turned his attention to Qin Man.
"Why did Qin Man lie to Qiao Pan?"
Yang Xingping: "You don't want Xiao Si to know that you have Xiao Wu?"
Xu An: "No, Qin Man can be involved with two women in the same neighborhood, so if there is another one, it won't have any impact on him. What good will it do him to hide it?"
Yang Xingping: "You ask me? Who knows what's going on in this kind of person's mind!"
He tapped Pei Qing's tablet, and the drawing appeared clearly.
Yang Xingping: "Being able to make yourself disappear is also a skill!"
Xu An put away Pei Qing's tablet.
He thought about it, recalling the women in the neighborhood.
"These women are so skinny that only bones are left. Do they have the strength to deal with Qin Man?"
Yang Xingping thought of Pei Qing's paintings.
"The woman in Pei Qing's sketch doesn't look like the tall and thin type that Qin Man likes. Maybe there is more than one person who committed the crime."
After discussing for a while, the two decided to turn their investigation to Qin Man's social circle.
Xu An found out the personal information of the owners of the vehicles that left the community that night, and prepared to conduct further investigation to see if any of these people had any personal grudges against Qin Man.
Did someone lead Qin Man downstairs and take him away?
If this is the case, something is actually a bit wrong. It makes sense that Qin Man was led away first, but how could he be so obedient and not struggle, and be stuffed into the car and taken away?
Up to now, no one has mentioned that anyone called for help on the night of the 14th. Didn't Qin Man struggle?
Yang Xingping: "Qin Man later sent messages to both Liu Fan and Zhang Wenli. This shows that the person who took him away knew something about Qin Man, but judging from the text messages Liu Fan received, this person did not have a comprehensive understanding of Qin Man, at least not about his relationship with his wife."
The two discussed it again and went to find Liu Fan first with photos of people who left the community that night.
The investigation was carried out day and night. When we arrived at Liu Fan's house, the sky was dim and the aroma of food wafted from upstairs. Mixed in with the aroma was the roar of a few parents.
"Are you stupid? Look again, what's the number when you multiply 938 by 5?"
…
Xu An walked to Liu Fan's house and rang the doorbell.
*
In the hospital, Pei Qing was dizzy from fever and suddenly woke up.
She opened her eyes.
Li Muxu sat beside her bed, saw that she woke up, and took her temperature again.
37.9, the temperature dropped again.
When Pei Qing saw Li Muxu, he didn't react for a moment.
Li Muxu: "It's seven o'clock, what do you want to eat?"
Pei Qing looked at him, then looked towards the window. The curtains were not drawn, so he could still see the sunset.
This ward is in a good location.
She said blankly, "I don't want to eat."
Li Muxu: "I woke up suddenly. Was it a dream?"
Pei Qing: “Yeah.”
She hesitated for a moment, but still said, "In my dream, I fell again and broke my knee."
