Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The Seventh Drawing
At eight o'clock in the morning, there was a loud knock on Pei Qing's door.
She got up in a daze and went to open the door, and saw Xu An hopping on one foot and asking her to follow him, while asking the doctor to help remove the plaster.
The doctor next to him looked embarrassed: "Second Master, Mr. Li said that you have to stay in the hospital for at least a week..."
I've only been here for three days now.
Xu An: "You take it down, I'll talk to my brother."
The doctor had to remove the plaster, and Xu An threw the key to Pei Qing.
"Drive. Go quickly."
Pei Qing resisted the urge to yawn, and seeing Xu An anxious as if he was being chased by a dog, he asked, "What happened?"
Thinking of Sun Xiuxiu, she asked again: "Have you found Sun Xiuxiu?"
Xu An: "The body is in the medical examiner's office. I'll go take a look."
He asked Pei Qing to be prepared: "Just like what you drew, the eyes of the corpse were dug out."
Pei Qing followed closely, and when he got downstairs, he saw a familiar Lexus in the parking lot and climbed up first.
Pei Qing waited for Xu An to fasten his seat belts and rushed all the way to the Municipal Bureau.
The security guard at the entrance of the Municipal Bureau recognized the car. He walked out of the security booth and saw Xu An sitting in the passenger seat, so he asked, "Officer Xu, aren't you on leave because of your foot injury? Why are you still here for work?"
Xu An: "There is a case."
He pointed at Pei Qing and said, "This is my sister. She's here to be my driver. Let her wait for me on the first floor."
The security guard nodded.
Pei Qing saw Xu An rushing upstairs in a hurry, as if he was finally healed.
The security uncle looked at the pretty girl in front of him happily and said, "Girl, please sit inside. Recently, the first floor of the Municipal Bureau has opened a new police innovation salon. Don't you young people like this? Go and have a cup of coffee. Officer Xu is busy day and night."
Pei Qing thanked him and walked into the first floor, where he saw a small corner with a sign that said "Police Tea" hanging on it and the Public Security Bureau's logo on the wall behind it.
Really advanced.
Pei Qing sighed. A young woman wearing a light yellow shirt, suit and black pants was sitting at the bar. When she saw Pei Qing, she asked kindly, "What would you like to drink?"
Pei Qing: "Do you have latte?"
"some."
She greeted, "Are you here to do some business?"
Pei Qing: "No, I'm waiting for my second brother, oh, that's Xu An, I'll be his driver."
"Officer Xu!"
The young woman at the bar immediately laughed: "Then you'll have to wait."
Pei Qing thought, could it be that the brothers Xu An and Li Muxu are both workaholics?
She shook her head, took the latte and sat aside.
Pei Qing felt a little uneasy, so she opened her phone and looked at her drawings.
In the drawing, Sun Xiuxiu was lying on a morgue bed with her limbs stiff and the two black holes on her face looked even more terrifying.
She sat upright on the sofa and didn't notice that the young woman at the bar looked at her several times.
The young woman thought to herself, Officer Xu’s sister is so beautiful, but she looks a little serious.

Xu An rushed to the Forensic Medical Office without stopping. When he arrived there, Ji Wu had already finished reading the autopsy report.
Seeing Xu An arriving, Ji Wu handed him the autopsy report.
Some situations are difficult to explain in detail over the phone, so it is more intuitive to read the autopsy report.
Xu An flipped through it quickly.
The female, aged between 17 and 22, had multiple bruises on her body, which were caused by frontal injuries. The final cause of death was brain trauma and excessive bleeding. The time of death was within 24 hours. Based on the condition of the wounds on her face, the forensic doctor roughly determined that the deceased's eyes were dug out after death.
Xu An walked closer and took another look at the deceased's appearance, confirming that this was the girl in Pei Qing's drawing.
She was drawing right.
Xu An broke out in a cold sweat on his back, but he calmed down because he was mentally prepared.
Seeing that he was still looking at the dead body, Ji Wu asked, "Do you know him?"
Xu An: "An informant mentioned it before."
He went over the words in his mind before saying, "Didn't the newspapers say there was a pyramid scheme den at the Puhe Police Station?"
Ji Wu had some impression: "Oh, that's what happened. Has the person been arrested?"
Xu An: "I heard that the leader ran away. I happened to have an informant in that area, so I asked my informant to find out. I heard that there was a commotion in this pyramid scheme den before. My informant said that the boss's lover's gold bracelet was stolen, and it caused quite a stir. I saw the photo, and I think the deceased looks a bit like the one who stole the gold bracelet. How about asking Puhe?"
Ji Wu glanced at him, nodded in agreement, and asked someone to ask Pu He, and mentioned Xu An's foot by the way.
"Can you still work?"
Xu An: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with that."
With a smile on his face, he said, "Captain, don't look down on me."
Ji Wu asked again: "Why did you get here this morning?"
Xu An: "Of course my sister brought me here. She's here to be my driver. She'll make sure it doesn't delay the progress."
Ji Wu: "Pay attention."
Xu An: "Don't worry, I promise not to violate the rules."
Soon the Municipal Bureau contacted the Puhe Police Station and confirmed that two people had escaped when the pyramid scheme den was destroyed.
The people who ran away were the leader of this pyramid scheme and his lover.
When asked about the gold bracelet, the Puhe Police Station also sent a photo of a girl.
"This is Sun Xiuxiu. We've been looking for her for days but haven't found her. Zhu Wang, who ran away with her, can't contact her either. We suspect she might be hiding somewhere with the gold bracelet. If she's caught, she'll be dead or skinned alive."
Xu An: "No need to look for it now."
The police station hadn't received the news yet and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Ji Wu: "She is now lying in the morgue of the Municipal Bureau. There is no need to look for her. Where does her accomplice, Zhu Wang, live?"
The police station sent an address.
Ji Wu looked at his watch. He was woken up at around four o'clock this morning to rush to the scene, and then checked the road surveillance until now.
He called the team together.
"Okay, everyone is here, cheer up and don't act like you can't wake up all day long."
Ji Wu: "The burial site is in a deserted forest with no surveillance. We can only retrieve the surveillance from the front, back, left and right sides of the forest to check if anyone got off the car near here or moved any unidentified objects. We need to retrieve surveillance footage from within 24 hours. The task is heavy, so please work hard and try to finish reviewing it this morning. Xu An, take a few people to watch the surveillance..."
Xu An: "No, Captain, I'd better continue to follow the line of the pyramid scheme den. I'm familiar with this line."
Ji Wu: "Can you outrun the criminal? Even if you are seen, you can't catch him."
Xu An: "No personal attack. My foot is almost healed, it's just a sprain. Who said I can't hold on."
Ji Wu: "Then let's follow Zhu Wang first, and continue to follow up your informant to find the two people who ran away. Fang Jie, you go with him."
Xu An/Fang Jie: "Received."

Pei Qing waited on the first floor for more than an hour before he saw Xu An coming down, followed by a young man.
She craned her neck to look over, and Xu An picked her up with one hand.
"Come and drive."
Then he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's confirmed, the one who died is Sun Xiuxiu."
Pei Qing was stunned and was pushed forward by Xu An again.
"Go ahead and drive."
Fang Jie looked at Pei Qing in confusion and said to Xu An, "Brother Xu, I can drive."
Xu An introduced him, "This is my sister. You are not familiar with my car and cannot drive it, so let her drive. Anyway, she will only stay in the car and will not disturb us at work."
Fang Jie: “Oh.”
Pei Qing smiled: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."
She drove directly to the downstairs of Zhu Wang's house according to the address given by Xu An, and saw Xu An and Fang Jie going upstairs.
While they were going upstairs, Pei Qing took out his tablet again.
She was sure that even if the two of them went up to ask Zhu Wang, Zhu Wang would not know more than her.
Chengzi sent her a message saying that since Zhu Wang was found and brought home, he had been cultivating relationships with his family and had not gone out to meet other friends.
Even though he sent messages to Sun Xiuxiu every day, Sun Xiuxiu never replied.
Indeed, a child who was abducted for more than ten years before being found is closely watched by his parents and relatives every day, so it is difficult for him to have time to commit a crime.
The probability of Zhu Wang committing the crime is not high, and on the 7th, he and Sun Xiuxiu did go in two different directions.
In addition, if Zhu Wang was telling the truth, Pei Qing suspected that Sun Xiuxiu did not reply not because she did not want to, but because her phone was not with her.
She looked through the drawings and didn't see the cell phone near Sun Xiuxiu.
So who will take action?
Could it be the two MLM leaders and his lover who ran away?
But if they found Sun Xiuxiu and were angry that she stole the bracelet, why did they dig out Sun Xiuxiu's eyes?
A gold bracelet is only tens of thousands of yuan, which may be a bit too much for ordinary people, but for people like them, it is not much. Is it necessary to risk killing people? Pyramid schemes and murder are completely different things. And according to Pei Qing's drawings, there is obviously imprisonment. Will the means of revenge be too cruel?
It would be more believable to say that he was caught stealing and accidentally beaten to death and buried.
But this is obviously different.
Pei Qing shifted his focus to the Hongmen bus station.
The accident happened after Sun Xiuxiu left this platform.
Hongmen?
She thought of the gangsters under the tree over there and had no good feelings towards the Hongmen.
But if it wasn't done by these two people from the pyramid scheme, then the focus of the investigation should be shifted to the Hongmen, which was where she knew Sun Xiuxiu was last seen.
Who did it?
Why did they dig out Sun Xiuxiu's eyes?
Besides stealing the gold bracelet, how else did Sun Xiuxiu offend anyone?
Pei Qing took out a tablet, opened a blank sketch, and tapped the tip of the pen lightly, leaving a few black dots on the sketch.
