Chapter 88 Chapter 88 The Second Drawing
Xu An knocked on Liu Fan's door.
As soon as the door opened, an angry face appeared in front of Xu An and Yang Xingping.
“Who is——”
Liu Fan's anger was still rising. She was the one who had just yelled at the child at home.
Xu An thought that he was not old enough to be a father, and there were a lot of bachelors in the bureau, so he had not experienced the pain of parents helping their children with their homework.
Seeing Liu Fan angrily opening the door, a smile appeared on his face. He also patted Yang Xingping hard, telling him not to look sour as if someone owed him thirty, five or sixty thousand yuan.
Yang Xingping stared at Xu An without changing his expression.
Is Xu An out of his mind? This is the first time I've seen someone handle a case with a friendly face.
Liu Fan's anger shifted to Xu An and Yang Xingping, and he shouted at them, "What are you doing! It's endless all day long! I'll just treat Qin Man as dead! Don't come to me for no reason!"
Xu An put on a kind smile: "Sister Liu."
Liu Fan is in her early thirties, so it is appropriate for Xu An to call her sister.
Xu An grabbed Yang Xingping and said to her, "It just so happens that my brother also graduated from the police academy with excellent grades. So, you can take a break and let him help the kids with their homework!"
As soon as he said this, Xu An spoke more and more fluently: "Take a break. We just happen to have some questions for you. You see, Qin Man borrowed so much money. If you don't find him, your life will be difficult in the future."
Liu Fan's face turned pale. After a few minutes, he turned around and walked towards the living room.
She had her back to Xu Fan and Yang Xingping, her back straight and as stubborn as a bull.
Xu An stared at her back for a few seconds, and then was bumped by Yang Xingping.
Xu An: "What are you doing? You should go and watch the kids do their homework!"
Yang Xingping: "Thank you so much!"
Xu An: "You're welcome. If you're unhappy, we can switch places. Go talk to Liu Fan."
Yang Xingping glanced at Liu Fan, unwilling to talk to Liu Fan who was angry, and walked straight to the bedroom with the door open.
Xu An saw him walking towards the bedroom before walking towards Liu Fan.
Liu Fan sat upright on the sofa.
"What do you want from me today?"
Xu An took out a stack of photos and handed them to Liu Fan.
“Are there any people you know in these photos?”
Liu Fan held his breath and flipped through the photos one by one.
While she was flipping through the photos, Xu An quickly scanned Liu Fan's house.
Although Liu Fan has a son who is in elementary school, his home is very tidy.
There are no traces of cement.
The apartment building here is an old-style one, with two storage rooms in the front and back downstairs.
Xu An took this opportunity to ask, "It's stressful to take care of the child by yourself, have you ever considered hiring a nanny?"
Liu Fan: "Where can I get the money to hire a nanny? A nanny who cooks and picks up kids isn't cheap these days. The minimum is more than 4,000 yuan."
After saying that, Liu Fan wanted to taunt Xu An: "You policemen really take it for granted. Does money come from the wind? There will be many more places to spend money in the future..."
As she spoke, she became anxious.
Xu An: "I see that your house comes with a storage room. Have you ever thought about renting it out?"
Liu Fan: "The storage room is half underground, dark and damp. How much money can we make if we rent it out? There are also rats!"
Xu An: "Not everyone can live in a residential housing complex. I'll help you check it out later. We know a lot of people, maybe someone needs it."
Liu Fan looked at Xu An and said solemnly: "People with criminal records cannot rent!"
Xu An smiled: "Sister Liu, don't worry, you are raising a child alone, why would I find a criminal with a criminal record."
Liu Fan's anger subsided a little.
"Thank you for your help."
Xu An: "No trouble, no trouble. Please help us take a closer look."
Liu Fan turned to the first photo and started reading from the beginning.
Xu An was helpless, she was just dealing with me!

Pei Qing, wearing a hat, walked out of the hospital with Li Muxu.
Their destination was the Temple of the God of Wealth.
Pei Qing explained to Li Muxu as they walked: "I just fell down, but I didn't fall in front of the God of Wealth. I thought I was going to be unlucky."
Li Muxu held her shoulder with one hand. Pei Qing's temperature had just been adjusted to 37.8, which was not considered a high fever. Now she had a chance to leave the hospital.
The Temple of the God of Wealth had already closed its doors at this time, but Li Muxu contacted someone and got the Temple of the God of Wealth to open its doors again.
The two stood in front of the God of Wealth. Facing the statue of the God of Wealth, Pei Qing bowed first.
"Although I don't know why this adventure happened, I definitely don't mean to disrespect you. Who would hate the God of Wealth?"
She was very pious and only wished that the God of Wealth would shine upon her more.
As she was thinking, the candlelight in front of the statue of the God of Wealth flickered and shone on Pei Qing's face.
Pei Qing blinked.
"Thank you. Thank you! I have made a lot of money recently. I will donate a golden statue to you right away!"
The candlelight in front of the God of Wealth flickered like fluttering wings. Then the candle burned out quickly, and Pei Qing watched without blinking.
He seemed to really hear it.
In theory, Pei Qing's beliefs are very flexible.
But now, she has decided to find the best craftsman for the God of Wealth.
After walking out of the temple gate, Pei Qing looked back at the Temple of the God of Wealth.
In her eyes, the Temple of the God of Wealth appears in warm yellow, very warm and bright.
She felt like she was almost cured!
Despite this, Pei Qing still stayed in the hospital for another day. He took the opportunity to select a skilled craftsman and had him renovate the Temple of the God of Wealth on an urgent basis.
After staying in the hospital for a day, Pei Qing's fever subsided and he returned to work.
Li Muxu: "Are you in a hurry to go back to work?"
Pei Qing said as a matter of course: "Yes, brother, there are only three people in our team, we can't lose one!"

Xu An and Yang Xingping were busy.
Yesterday, the two found Liu Fan and asked Liu Fan to look through the photos.
Liu Fan recognized the person in one of the photos.
"His name is Cao Tian. He is Qin Man's former colleague. The two have known each other for many years. When my son celebrated his first birthday, he came to eat and held my son."
Xu An: "So what's his relationship with Qin Man like now?"
Liu Fan: "Who knows? Qin Man and I haven't talked for a long time. Cao Tian used to have a good relationship with Qin Man. Now they are in the same company, so their relationship should not be bad. Haha, they are so close that they can work together, don't you think I don't know!"
That's not right!
Cao Tian and Qin Man have such a good relationship, how could he not know that Qin Man and Liu Fan are about to divorce?
Why bother sending messages to Liu Fan again?
Before leaving Liu Fan's house, Xu An called out Yang Xingping.
Yang Xingping walked out of the bedroom with a dark face.
It seems that tutoring primary school students with their homework is a chore.
Before he could speak, Xu An said, "I understand, I understand. I'll come next time."
Yang Xingping said to Liu Fan: "You should enroll your son in a tutoring class!"
If I continue to tutor myself like this, I won’t be far from becoming an immortal.
Liu Fan is a joke.
She can say that her son is not good enough, but she always feels uncomfortable when others say so.
Liu Fan was still thinking about what Xu An said about renting a house.
In fact, the storage room with a good orientation here is not difficult to rent, but it is too shady on her side, and the clothes cannot be dried by hanging out in the sun, they have to be dried in the shade, so it cannot be rented out.
She opened the storage room and showed Xu An.
The storage room is very clean, except for the mousetrap on the floor which is a bit out of place.
Xu An: "I'll ask around for you, keep an eye out for my call."
Liu Fan: "Okay."
After leaving Liu Fan's house, Xu An and Yang Xingping turned their investigation to Cao Tian.
Is the relationship between Cao Tian and Qin Man so bad that Cao Tian wants to kill Qin Man?
So, the next day, when Pei Qing found Xu An and Yang Xingping, the two were tailing them.
Xu An pointed to a man and a woman in front of the car and said to Pei Qing, "Those are Cao Tian and Chu Shuang. Chu Shuang lives in Chenghui Mansion."
Chu was holding a cigarette in both hands, with smoke rings rising up. She waited listlessly for Cao Tian to finish talking to the other person, then he held her wrist and took her to the restaurant.
She was very thin, and with Cao Tian holding her wrist, she floated into the restaurant like a ribbon.
Pei Qing: "She's really skinny. I feel like her arm will break if it's bent. Was it she who led Qin Man downstairs?"
Xu An: "There is no evidence. Besides, we are just suspecting now."
Yang Xingping mentioned something: "I remember that there was a woman in your drawing."
Pei Qing: "Yes."
Yang Xingping looked at Cao Tian's back and took out Pei Qing's drawing to take a look at it.
"This person is definitely not Cao Tian, nor is he Chu Shuang."
Who could that be?
Pei Qing: "Is Cao Tian's water flow normal recently?"
Yang Xingping: "Normal. At least neither of them bought cement online."
Xu An: "Who would buy cement online? You can just buy some from a construction site or steal some from anywhere."
Pei Qing glanced at the woman in the drawing and asked, "Do Cao Tian and Chu Shuang have other relatives?"
For things like this, we usually deal with them together with our closest relatives.
Yang Xingping flipped through the information he had found last night and said, "Cao Tian is not a local. He is not an only child. He is the second child in the family. He has always lived alone in City A. He got married and divorced in City A."
Pei Qing: "Is he divorced? Is his wife and children still alive?"
Yang Xingping glanced at her and said, "He is alive. I found out his son's school record. He is in the No. 1 Junior High School."
Pei Qing: "Oh. His ex-wife has no debts?"
Yang Xingping: "I just talked to Cao Tian's colleagues. They haven't heard that Cao Tian's ex-wife had caused trouble. She should have been appeased."
Pei Qing: "This man is really good, he got promoted and made a fortune in exchange for a wife."
Xu An coughed lightly a few times.
"Let's get back to the case and stop getting distracted."
Pei Qing: "I'm trying to find out. What does Cao Tian's ex-wife look like?"
Yang Xingping found a photo and showed it to Pei Qing.
In a sense, Cao Tian's aesthetic taste is quite specific.
Everyone likes this kind of skinny woman.
Although he is thin, his face has no hollows.
Pei Qing: "Is this her recent photo?"
Yang Xingping: "Yes. It seems to be OK."
This couldn't be the woman in Pei Qing's drawing.
Pei Qing: "What about Chu Shuang?"
Yang Xingping: "Chu Shuang is a native of City A. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she lived with her mother."
Xu An chuckled: "The next step is the key point."
Yang Xingping continued: "Chu Shuang's mother used to be a nurse at the Provincial Hospital, but later resigned for personal reasons."
