Chapter 80 Chapter 80 The First Drawing
Pei Qing didn't go to see the body in the pit.
She sat on a rock a few dozen meters away from the dry toilet and watched Liu Cong and Xu An talk for a few words. Then Liu Cong turned pale and made a phone call.
It should be calling the forensic doctor.
It was not until dark that the forensic department of the Changnan Municipal Public Security Bureau arrived at the dilapidated village.
The forensic doctor examined the body of the deceased. As Pei Qing approached the body, he smelled a strange odor.
She stepped back again and again. Not everyone can be a forensic doctor.
Xu An was talking to the criminal police from Changnan City.
The crime scene was in Changnan City. Both the deceased and the suspect were from Changnan City, so Xu An could not intervene.
He and Pei Qing came here just to find Dou Yinhua. Now Dou Yinhua is dead and the case has been solved. To be honest, there is no need for Xu An and Pei Qing to stay in Changnan City any longer.
But there is still a problem that needs to be solved. What exactly is going on with what Qiao Wei said about the immortal looking for a virgin?
Pei Qing followed Xu An dejectedly, and saw him find a few people in police uniforms to walk to Peng Cailian.
Under the pressure of several tall and strong policemen, Peng Cailian quickly told the story.
In the early 1990s, a fairy came to this mountain. She chose this Feng Shui treasure land and only needed young girls to serve her. So many families sent their daughters there for the fairy to choose.
The one who is chosen will be a virgin, and from then on she will have no worries about food and clothing, and can also bring blessings to her family.
After Peng Cailian finished her trembling explanation, a group of policemen stared at her in silence.
Liu Cong scolded: "You believe this!"
Peng Cailian cried, "Whether I believe it or not, no one cares. It's up to Dou Yinhua and her guests to believe it. I just sit on the futon and watch them kneel down and kowtow. Dou Yinhua's family all do this..."
It is true that feudal superstition is likely to emerge in remote and poor areas.
Several policemen handcuffed Peng Cailian and Qiao Wei and took them back to the Public Security Bureau.
Before being handcuffed into the police car, Peng Cailian kept looking outside.
She is looking for Pei Qing.
Peng Cailian still remembers what Pei Qing promised.
Pei Qing nodded at her from a distance. Although she still felt that Peng Cailian was a difficult person to judge, she had to do what she had promised.
She asked Peng Cailian where her daughter's grave was and went there with Xu An.
Peng Cailian's daughter was not buried in the ancestral tomb, but in a vacant lot outside the tomb. The only difference was that a few clusters of sunflowers grew on the grave, with clusters of rose purple, pink and white complementing each other.
Thinking again that there was a little girl buried under this grave, Pei Qing remained silent.
Xu An asked someone to make a tombstone and tidied up the little girl's grave. Pei Qing placed some candies and flowers in front of the tombstone and muttered a few words.
"…If someone steals your candy, just go into their dreams and scare them to death!"
After finishing the work, Pei Qing clapped his hands.
The Changnan Municipal Public Security Bureau has conducted a DNA test on the body and confirmed that the deceased is Dou Yinhua and that the time of death was no more than 72 hours.
The deceased was hit on the head and the wound was fatal.
As the investigation into the case progressed, Qiao Wei refused to confess. However, Peng Cailian had already lost her temper. Especially when she saw her daughter's tombstone, she choked up and confessed the incident.
Qiao Wei didn't make any money working outside, so he continued to ask Dou Yinhua for money after returning home. He even asked Peng Cailian to buy groceries and cook to entertain Dou Yinhua.
Dou Yinhua and Peng Cailian had known each other for many years, so she did not refuse. But after she went there, she found that Qiao Wei still wanted to ask her for money, and she was unwilling to give it. The two had an argument, and Qiao Wei drank too much and became angry, so he smashed Dou Yinhua to death.
Peng Cailian: "Qiao Wei originally said that he would go out and hide for a few days..."
I didn't expect the police to arrive so quickly.
Based on Peng Cailian's confession, the police found several ID cards and two mobile phones of Dou Yinhua, and launched an investigation based on the contacts in the mobile phones.
Finally, they found a cave deep in a mountain stream.
There was a smell of incense in the cave. A little girl of four or five years old was sitting on a mat, blinking her eyes as she looked at a group of policemen who appeared at the entrance of the cave.
When she saw the stranger, she picked up the kitten on the ground and wanted to run into the cave.
Several policemen stopped the little girl. The female police officer checked her body and found finger marks on her body.
The police took the little girl back to the police station.

After confirming that the deceased was Dou Yinhua, Pei Qing and Xu An boarded a plane back to City A.
The first thing Pei Qing did after returning home was to rush to the bathroom to take a shower.
Li Muxu was resting today. Seeing Pei Qing running upstairs as if being chased by a ghost, he asked Xu An, "What happened to her?"
Xu An: "I was influenced by the dry toilets in the countryside."
Li Muxu immediately moved away from Xu An: "Go take a shower."
Xu An: "No, brother, we just came back from taking a shower!"
Li Muxu: "Don't show up in front of me until you've finished taking a shower."
Xu An: "Speak some sense, brother."
Li Muxu walked away.
*
After taking a shower, Pei Qing wrapped his hair with a towel and went downstairs to find something to eat.
Li Muxu was cooking rice wine balls, and a sweet aroma drifted under Pei Qing's nose.
Pei Qing was so moved that he threw himself on Li Muxu.
"Brother, I love you so much. I love eating this!"
Li Muxu: "Get off me."
Pei Qing: "What's wrong? When he was little, he let me hold him, but now he's grown up, he doesn't let me hold him anymore."
Li Muxu: "Do you want to eat?"
Pei Qing: "Eat."
She let go decisively.
Li Muxu served her a bowl of soup. Pei Qing took small sips of it with a spoon while talking to Li Muxu about Xu An.
"... such a big piece of wood, and it's still stained with..."
Li Muxu: "Stop, let's eat."
Pei Qing blinked and looked at him.
"oh."
She lowered her head in disappointment.
Li Muxu: "Don't talk about this while we're eating. You can say whatever you want after dinner."
Pei Qing: "No wonder you're talking about this after dinner. Why are you talking about this after dinner? Don't I know why! Humph!"
Li Muxu laughed along.
Xu An hurried down from upstairs.
"What to eat?"
He looked at Pei Qing holding the bowl and asked her to finish her meal in a few bites.
Pei Qing: "I just ate——"
Xu An: "There's a commotion at Cheng Bailan's place, come back and eat later!"
He grabbed Pei Qing's arm with one hand and pulled her up from the chair.
"Come back and eat more."
Xu An turned to Li Muxu and said, "Brother, put the fermented rice wine on the stove to warm it up. I will come back to eat it."
The two hurried home and left in a hurry.
*
A group of people gathered downstairs of Cheng Bailan's house.
When Xu An and Pei Qing arrived, Yang Xingping had already arrived.
He was standing on the second floor opposite Cheng Bailan's house, which gave him an effective view of the downstairs of Cheng Bailan's house.
Seeing Xu An pulling Pei Qing over, Yang Xingping waved from the second floor.
Pei Qing: "It seems that everything is fine. Yang Xingping is still upstairs watching the fun! I haven't finished eating my fermented rice balls yet."
Xu An: "Go back and eat."
He quickly squeezed into the crowd, and Pei Qing had to follow.
This job is really hard.
Standing downstairs of Cheng Bailan's house were all residents of the community, young and old, and the noise was noisy.
A clear female voice rang out among the crowd.
"…What! How did I wrongly accuse you? Brothers and sisters, look quickly, this man colluded with his own mother to sell out his own daughter!"
Pei Qing squeezed to the center of the crowd and saw a girl with short flaxen green curly hair standing at the door of the unit, holding a mobile phone in her hand and pointing it directly at Zhao Dong's face.
She kept saying, "Yes, it's him. His name is Zhao Dong. I can't help it. My sister was blind when she was in college and found such a thing. It's the 21st century. Not only do they favor boys over girls, but they also sell their own daughters directly... Why should I stop you? You dare to do it but not to take responsibility, Zhao Dong, you coward!"
"Why, you still want to beat me up? Fine, let's go to the police station today, who's afraid of who? If your family dares to touch me today, I will go to your company every day to make trouble. Anyway, I'm an unemployed vagrant, I'm not afraid of going to the police station! Don't leave!"
The curly-haired woman and Zhao Dong kept pulling each other, and Zhao Dong's mother stood at the stairs, trying to reach out to the curly-haired woman.
The curly-haired woman was not afraid at all. She held her cell phone high. Not only her, but there was also a tall and strong man standing behind her, also holding a cell phone in his hand and recording a video.
Pei Qing was watching with great interest when Yang Xingping squeezed in.
"She is Cheng Bailan's younger sister, Cheng Baihe. She just graduated from college and is a little internet celebrity."
Pei Qing: "Where's Cheng Bailan?"
Yang Xingping: "I took my daughter to see a doctor. Now she can only speak a few words intermittently and cannot speak complete sentences."
Xu An saw that everyone around was just watching the fun, so he wasn't worried about a fight. He asked Yang Xingping, "How many days has this been going on?"
Yang Xingping: "It's been going on for two days."
Pei Qing stretched his head and looked around: "I saw the police from the police station, but they didn't do anything about it."
Yang Xingping: "How can we manage it? They haven't divorced yet, and if their relatives start to quarrel, we can't call the police station. Besides, Dou Yinhua is dead, and there are still some disputes about the child."
Pei Qing: "Dou Yinhua is dead, but Chen Minhui is still alive. Don't try to get away with it."
As the three were talking, a shout suddenly came from upstairs.
"Make way, make way, someone is throwing something! Make way!"
Seeing someone upstairs carrying a large bag hanging in the air, the people standing downstairs quickly dispersed.
"boom--"
Things fell to the ground.
The bag was not tied tightly and several pairs of underwear were exposed.
Zhao Dong took a few steps and tied his bag. He angrily said to Cheng Baihe, "Cheng Baihe! You brought someone into the house! And you threw things at me!"
Cheng Baihe: "What's wrong with throwing something at you? Your mother is willing to sell her granddaughter. I'm just throwing something at you..."
She looked Zhao Dong up and down and shouted upstairs again.
"Go on! Throw out all his stuff for me today!"
Zhao Dong: "This is my home!"
Cheng Baihe: "Bullshit, this is my sister's house. My sister paid for the house and used her housing fund to pay off the loan! Zhao Dong, I'm telling you, this matter is not over yet. Just wait until I clear out this house, and then I'll go to your company to make trouble. You have lost all conscience, and sooner or later you'll get hit by a car when you go out..."
…
After listening to this, Pei Qing said to Xu An: "It's useless for us to come. They can continue to make trouble for a few more days."
Yang Xingping: "It's almost become a regular routine. It's useless for the police station to come. As soon as Cheng Bailan came back, she reported Zhao Dong and his mother to the police for trafficking in human beings. However, there was no paper evidence, only Chen Minhui's testimony, so Cheng Bailan's sister started to make a fuss. Cheng Bailan's sister is much more straightforward than her. Zhao Dong was almost thrown into her phone these past two days."
Pei Qing: "Can the house be given to Cheng Bailan after the divorce?"
Yang Xingping: "That depends on what kind of damage Cheng Baihe can cause Zhao Dong."
Pei Qing: "Then we have to continue the fight."
"Hey, the fight has started, the fight has started!"
Someone shouted.
Zhao Dong and Cheng Baihe were seen fighting with each other. Zhao Dong's mother wanted to slap Cheng Baihe, but Cheng Baihe slapped her back.
Cheng Baihe: "How can I, a young lady like you, be beaten by an old woman like you? You are dreaming, you old hag!"
Zhao Dong was pushed to the ground by the people brought by Cheng Baihe while shouting "Mom".
Seeing that she was about to attack again, the police from the police station quickly held down several people.
"Alright, stop hitting me, everyone!"
After arguing for more than two hours, Cheng Baihe and Zhao Dong and their group finally got into the police car and were taken to the police station.
Pei Qing saw it clearly. Before leaving, Cheng Baihe gestured to the people upstairs, asking them to go back and continue throwing Zhao Dong's things.
Pei Qing: "Being an internet celebrity does have its benefits."
With many friends everywhere, you don’t have to worry about having a criminal record.
