Chapter 92 Chapter 92 The Third Drawing
Chu Shuang didn't say anything.
Pei Qing: "This car can't disappear without a trace. If you confess now, it will be considered as cooperating with the police investigation. If you know about it but don't report it, the consequences will be different."
She spoke tactfully, but Chu Shuang might have been more deeply involved in Qin Man's murder than she thought.
It is impossible that Chu Shuang knew nothing about the conflict between Cao Tian and Qin Man.
Who sent the last express message Qin Man received?
Cao Tian?
According to Chu Shuang, Cao Tian and Qin Man have a good relationship, so there is no need to use this SIM card to send messages to Qin Man.
Is that Chu Shuangfa’s?
Why did she lead Qin Man downstairs?
If she really sent it, then her crime is not light.
Of course, there is a third person involved in the case, that is Chu Shuang’s mother. Yang Xingping stayed in Maoshan for two days but did not find Chu Shuang’s mother.
Facing the questions from Xu An and Pei Qing, Chu Shuang lowered her head, and Pei Qing could see her thick hair.
Chu Shuang fell silent and refused to answer Xu An and Pei Qing's questions.
The bandage on her wrist was clearly visible, and Pei Qing held her breath in her throat.
Xu An finally said to Chu Shuang: "If a car drives into Maoshan, it will only take time to find it. Before we find it, you still have a chance to confess, so you should cherish the opportunity. Also, your mother is already fifty years old this year. Aren't you worried at all if we can't find her?"
He stared at Chu Shuang for a while and found that Chu Shuang was really unmoved. She just lowered her head, pulled the bandage, and then said nothing.
Xu An and Pei Qing left the interrogation room first.
Xu An: "Without direct evidence, we can't detain him for too long."
Pei Qing: "Has Yang Xingping not found anyone yet?"
Yang Xingping is still in Maoshan.
He returned to the bungalow where the body was found and carefully observed the tire tracks on the ground. He thought for a moment and opened his mobile phone to search.
As expected, there are several auto repair shops in Maoshan.
Since no one saw the car along the way, it must be hidden somewhere.
How to hide a car reasonably?
Repair shop?
Usually there are places where used cars are traded and resold near repair shops. As long as you are brave enough, it is possible that the car will be stripped of its parts and broken down into pieces quietly.
Yang Xingping followed the navigation to find several repair shops, but found nothing.
Finally, he thought about it, changed his clothes, put on an army green sweatshirt, changed his pants into a pair of black baggy pants, and went to the next repair shop.
Yang Xingping smoked a cigarette and walked into the repair shop.
An indescribable smell in the repair shop hit him in the face. Yang Xingping handed someone a cigarette and asked if there were any cheap used cars for sale recently.
The man looked him up and down and thought that the man in front of him didn't look like a rich man, so he didn't take it seriously and just asked:
"How much do you want?"
Yang Xingping: "About 60,000 or 70,000 yuan. I want a car that hasn't been in an accident. The mileage doesn't matter. The main thing is that it looks good."
The man looked at Yang Xingping again. There was a hole in Yang Xingping's sweatshirt near his waist.
The man wiped his hands.
"We don't do installment payments here. You're not from here, are you?"
Yang Xingping: "Does it matter whether you are a local or not when selling a car? I came here because I heard that the supply channels here are safe."
Of course he was talking nonsense.
It's just a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
The man looked at him again. Yang Xingping now looked like a gangster, and a not very good one at that.
"As long as you can pay cash, you can get the car tonight."
"OK."
Yang Xingping went to an ATM in Maoshan and withdrew 60,000 yuan in cash. When he arrived at the repair shop at night, he brought the police from the local police station with him. As soon as the people in the repair shop got the bag containing cash and started counting the money, the police from the police station rushed forward and pinned the people in the repair shop to the ground.
The man in the repair shop waved his hands on the ground and cursed, "Who the hell are you?"
He recognized the people very quickly. There were a few familiar policemen among the people holding him. The man cursed secretly and pointed at Yang Xingping and cursed: "Fishing enforcement! You are a fishing enforcement!"
Yang Xingping picked up his cigarette again, and the people in the repair shop were quickly interrogated.
Yang Xingping took his money back. Life in City A is not easy. It is not easy to save such a little money after working for several years.
After he collected the money, he began to interrogate the owner of the repair shop.
Yang Xingping had a few photos in his hand, all of which were second-hand cars parked in the roller shutter door behind the boss. He found a second-hand car with the license plate removed and a new paint job on the body.
However, judging from the model and tires, this car should be Cao Tian's Mercedes-Benz.
After all, Cao Tian's car had basically no damage and the parts were intact, so it would be a pity to dismantle it.
Yang Xingping asked: "Who sold you this car? How dare you accept a car whose origin is unknown?"
The people in the repair shop gave him a sidelong look. Although he was a man who lived in society and was afraid of trouble, if he really met the police, he would have the courage to argue with them for several days without giving in.
Yang Xingping handed him a cigarette and said, "I didn't mean to arrest you. We all make a living and it's not easy. I just happened to have a case and needed to find the person who sold the car. What about you? Don't worry too much. When I find her, you can still claim compensation from that person. She sold the car to you, so she must have paid the lion's share of the losses. You can still make trouble for her, right?"
He whispered a few more words to the car seller and finally convinced the big man in the repair shop.
The person at the repair shop said, "The seller is a woman, probably in her 50s or 60s, and looks quite old."
Yang Xingping: "Didn't you ask where her car came from?"
The person at the repair shop said: "She said it was her son's car. Her son went abroad and couldn't come back to deal with the sale of the car, so she had no choice but to sell it at a low price."
The mechanic was still sober and didn't actually believe what the old woman said. It's just that the price she asked for was very low, and the man in the repair shop thought it would be a good deal if he couldn't make some money, and he wouldn't be unlucky enough to be caught by the police this time.
So he hardened his heart, took a bit more courage, and bought the car.
Yang Xingping asked, "How much did this car sell for?"
The guy in the repair shop held up two fingers.
Yang Xingping: "Twenty thousand?"
The man in the repair shop nodded, and he emphasized: "The old woman only wants cash."
This price is really cheap, and it won’t be a big deal for him anyway.
It turns out that this kind of business will starve the timid to death and make the bold die of gluttony.
Yang Xingping asked again: "Where are the surveillance cameras in your store?"
The man in the repair shop waved his hand in a very unconcerned manner: "There is no surveillance. How could there be surveillance in my shop?"
This business is a grey area. Should we keep the surveillance camera and wait for the police to arrest us?
Yang Xingping had no choice but to retrieve Chu Shuang’s household registration file, where there were photos of her and her mother.
The file shows that Chu Shuang's mother is Chu Ping, who is 51 years old. She has a serious face in the photo and looks nothing like Chu Shuang.
Yang Xingping randomly flipped through a few photos, put them together with the household registration photo of Chu Shuang's mother, and let the mechanic take a look.
People who work in the reselling business need to have sharp eyes. If you don’t, you won’t be able to run this business smoothly.
Sure enough, after a round of photos were reviewed, when the first round was over, the mechanic recognized Chu Ping.
"That's her! She's the one who sold me the car!"
Yang Xingping walked out of the police station, stood at the door of the police station, and called Xu An.
"It's confirmed. Chu Ping drove the car to Maoshan and then resold it to the repair shop. She received cash, and the repair shop sold the car again."
Pei Qing's voice came out of the phone: "The car has been found, where is Chu Ping?"
Yang Xingping said, "We have to wait a little longer. The police station is helping to investigate. Haven't Cao Tian and Chu Shuang been arrested?"
Xu An said: "Without direct evidence, she won't be detained for long. You need to find Chu Ping quickly. She is so old, where can she hide?"
Yang Xingping: "Look for it again. Why are you in such a hurry? You can't reach Maoshan no matter how anxious you are."
Xu An: "Hey! You reminded me that there is a subway from Maoshan to the city! She won't go back to the city, right?"
Yang Xingping: "She hid Qin Man's body in the bungalow and then ran back by herself. She has a really good mentality."
Pei Qing: "She used to be a nurse. She dared to do such a thing as hiding a corpse. Why would she be afraid to come back?"
Yang Xingping: "Okay then, you guys look for it in City A, and I'll look for it in Maoshan."
*
There are a lot of people in the subway station, and you can find a lot of them just by checking the surveillance footage.
Yang Xingping and the Maoshan Police Station worked overtime to check the road surveillance near the repair shop. He also carefully asked the people in the repair shop what Chu Ping wore when she left the repair shop that day. He then asked local residents. Several people worked overtime for another day and finally found a bus stop following the clues.
According to clues given by passers-by, someone once saw Chu Ping carrying a black bag and getting on a bus to City A.
Chu Ping seemed to have investigated it long ago and found that there was no surveillance on the bus, and it was the kind of bus where passengers could get on and off at will.
After making sure that Chu Ping had boarded the bus to City A, the Maoshan Police Station breathed a sigh of relief and rushed Yang Xingping away.
Ever since a body was found in Mushan, people living near Mushan have been in a panic. If we send this detective away quickly, everyone will slowly forget about the body.
Yang Xingping returned to the police station under the expectant gaze of everyone at the police station.
As soon as he returned to the bureau, Yang Xingping sat down on the chair.
Xu An and Pei Qing were investigating the assets under the names of Cao Tian and Chu Shuang. Chu Ping did have a house in the community attached to the old hospital, but the house had fallen into disrepair and many people had moved out.
Before Yang Xingping came back, Xu An and Pei Qing had already been to that community, which was overgrown with weeds and had mottled cracks on the walls.
Pei Qing even followed Xu An upstairs to take a look. There really didn't seem to be any signs of anyone living there. So where would Chu Ping be living during this time?
The two then turned their attention to the personal assets of Cao Tian and Chu Shuang.
The residential house in Chenghui Mansion is under the name of Chu Shuang. Since Chu Shuang was brought to the police station, Xu An arranged several policemen to stake out near Chenghui Mansion, but no trace of Chu Ping was found.
Cao Tian owns three properties, a large flat, a suburban house, and a house in the best school district in the city.
Pei Qing concluded: "Besides that, Chu Ping may not necessarily return to Cao Tian's house. Cao Tian and Chu Shuang haven't obtained a marriage certificate. It's impossible for Chu Ping to have keys to every house Cao Tian owns, right? She has cash in her hand. If she only goes to some small hotels that don't check ID cards, it will be difficult to find her."
Thinking of this, Pei Qing proudly raised his tablet and said to Xu An and Yang Xingping: "It's time for me to take action!"
Xu An stopped him: "You just got sick, don't paint anymore. If you continue to paint, your fever won't go away and I'll have to settle the score with you! So, let's go to the house under Cao Tian's name first, maybe Chu Ping really lives there!"
Yang Xingping: "Then I'll go to the edge of City A near Maoshan to look for it."
Pei Qing: "How long do we have to wait? There are several ID cards in the small hotel. Look at mine!"
She clasped her hands together and prayed to the God of Wealth for blessings.
Pei Qing: "At worst, we can just paint outside the hospital."
Xu An didn't agree.
Pei Qing: "I have the final say over my own body. I can't just stop painting in the future! Then I might as well quit my job and go home!"
Pei Qing emphasized it several times, and Xu An took Pei Qing to the hospital entrance.
Pei Qing opened the tablet, and the white drawing paper on the tablet was gradually stained with color.
Consistent with Pei Qing’s guess, she was thinking about Chu Ping’s current location, and the name of a hotel appeared on the screen.
"A hotel on the outskirts of the city."
She had just finished painting and hadn't called Yang Xingping yet when Xu An put the thermometer against her forehead.
Xu An: “36.6.”
Pei Qing: "Hi, everything is fine!"
