Chapter 109 Chapter 109 The Third Drawing
Pei Qing and the other two sat together to eat.
While eating, the three of them couldn't help but start talking about the case again.
The case is basically clear. Zhong Chun replaced Li Yun's identity, and he must have planned it in advance. He observed Li Yun for a long time and only started to replace him after determining the risks.
Originally, his path to taking over the position should have been smooth, but he stumbled after returning to China.
Xu An picked up a potato shred and began to criticize: "The potato shreds are not even peeled."
Yang Xingping was speechless: "It's good enough to have something to eat, but you are still picky about food."
Pei Qing was flipping through the transcript, which was the one Zhong Chun had made earlier.
In the transcript, when Xu An asked Zhong Chun why he wanted to return to China, Li Yun denied it.
First, he did not admit to murdering Li Yun.
Second, he also expressed dissatisfaction with the police for detaining him without reason.
Third, he did not know the man who came for the DNA test, and he doubted the legality of the police's handling of the case.
Pei Qing and the other two believed that Zhong Chun was fighting desperately. He certainly refused to admit to the fact of murder, but the fact that he was a normal person and took someone else's identity and returned to China with Li Yun's passport was very suspicious in itself.
In desperation, the three decided to find Zhong Chun's mother Zhou Fangye.
Zhou Fangye has been looking for Zhong Chun, and now, Zhong Chun is in the interrogation room. Zhou Fangye can finally see her son.
*
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Fangye got home from get off work and found two policemen waiting at the door. They were policemen she had seen before and were very concerned about Zhong Chun's disappearance.
Seeing the police, Zhou Fangye was a little excited, thinking that there was news about Zhong Chun, and asked: "Why are the police here? Have you found my Zhong Chun?"
She was excited and led the two policemen into the house, then looked at Pei Qing and Xu An expectantly.
Pei Qing looked at her blushing face and couldn't help but hesitate. The person was found, but the result was definitely not what Zhou Fangye expected.
She thought for a moment and said, "This is what happened. We received a report from an insider that Zhong Chun had plastic surgery abroad and replaced someone else's identity before returning to China."
The teacup in Zhou Fangye's hand fell onto the coffee table.
"What?"
She hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly denied it, "Impossible! Our Zhong Chun has been well behaved since he was young, it's impossible for him to do such a thing!"
Unfortunately, the reality of the matter cannot be changed by a mother's wishes.
Although Zhou Fangye didn't believe it, Xu An still showed her a photo. It was the young man Zhou Fangye had seen in the police station.
Zhou Fangye once found a mole on a man's hand.
She stared at the photo blankly, then looked at Xu An and Pei Qing. After making sure that the two policemen in front of her were extremely serious, she continued to look at the photo.
Gradually, the world in front of Zhou Fangye began to shake, and she held on to the sofa and fell backwards.
"Why are you so dizzy?"
Pei Qing quickly supported her.
"Auntie, are you okay?"
Zhou Fangye's body fell heavily onto the sofa. She looked at the ceiling. This was an old house and the walls had not been painted for many years.
There were already cracks on the ceiling, and the cracks were just like Zhou Fangye's heart at this moment.
Xu An poured a glass of water, Pei Qing held the cup and let Zhou Fangye drink it in small sips.
After waiting for another half an hour, Zhou Fangye finally returned to normal.
She looked at the photo in her hand and felt it was hot, so she hurriedly stuffed the photo to Pei Qing.
"Impossible, you must be mistaken, this is not my son, my son is still in the UK, he just doesn't answer my calls."
Pei Qing looked at Zhou Fangye, who looked depressed and embarrassed. After hurriedly returning the photo to Pei Qing, she suddenly said to Pei Qing and Xu An, "I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I promised Lao Liu to cover for him tonight. Hey, why am I home? I should go."
After saying that, she stood up quickly, raised her foot and walked towards the door. As if she was afraid that Pei Qing and Xu An would stop her, she walked and ran, and soon disappeared at the door.
Pei Qing didn't have time to grab her. She really didn't expect Zhou Fangye to be able to do this.
By the time Pei Qing reached the stairs, Zhou Fangye had already walked out of the apartment building.
Pei Qing looked helpless and turned to look at Xu An: "What does she mean? Can't accept that her son is a murderer?"
Xu An: "The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Let's go."
The first attempt to find Zhou Fangye was unsuccessful.
After that, Pei Qing, Xu An and Yang Xingping looked for Zhou Fangye several more times. Zhou Fangye's attitude was the same as the first time. She firmly refused to admit that Zhong Chun, who was detained by the police, was his son.
Gradually, the three of them figured out something was wrong.
Yang Xingping: "Zhou Fangye doesn't disbelieve it, but she doesn't want to take a DNA test?"
Pei Qing was opening his tablet.
"I guess so. Which mother would be willing to accuse her son?"
Yang Xingping: "That can't be the case. If Zhou Fangye doesn't want to come, can we really just ignore it?"
Pei Qing: "The difficulty of this case is that Zhong Chun replaced Li Yun's identity. This happened abroad. Now we don't know where the real Li Yun is."
Speaking of this, there are more problems.
The private detective Xu Yun hired from abroad searched Li Yun's house thoroughly and even dug up the trees in the yard, but no body was found.
Where would Zhong Chun hide Li Yun?
It's been so long since this happened that it's hard to preserve the evidence.
Pei Qing opened the tablet and turned to a new page of canvas.
We still have to find where Li Yun is first.
As Pei Qing thought this, the pen in his hand spun and fluttered on the tablet.
Time passes like sand, and the drawings on the tablet present a different kind of tranquility.
It was a lake, the lake was dark blue in color, the waves were rippling on the surface of the lake, and a thin layer of mist rose from where the forest in the distance and the lakeside intersected. Gradually, the mist became thicker and thicker, covering the lake.
Pei Qing stopped writing and pushed the tablet to Xu An.
Xu An took a look at it and sent the drawing to Xu Yun.
Yang Xingping took a glance.
"Throwing the body to the bottom of the lake is a good option."
Pei Qing: "Yes, it would be even better if there were some fish at the bottom of the lake eating the corpses!"
Xu An asked her to stop talking such bad words.
"If we can't find the body, we'll be in big trouble."
Pei Qing: "This is a reasonable guess."

Qin Qiaobei has already reported the case to the police in the UK, but it is unrealistic to ask the British police to search for him based on a painting.
Xu Yun was still abroad, so she had easy access and hired a few private detectives, and finally found the lake.
The lake was very deep, and the people she hired quickly began the salvage work.
The things that were fished out were all kinds of things, including a scrapped vehicle and three skeletons in the car at the bottom of the lake.
One of the skeletons looked like that of a young child. Before Xu Yun could figure out the result, several more skeletons were salvaged.
Xu Yun said to the phone: "Is this some kind of place where corpses are dumped? Okay, I know. I've called the police."
Fortunately, several attempts to recover bodies attracted the attention of local police.
Soon, professional personnel joined in to test the skeletons at the bottom of the lake.
The three skeletons in the car had been dead for decades. The police speculated that the driver deliberately drove the car into the bottom of the lake, causing the three people to drown.
At Qin Qiaobei's strong request, the skeletons at the bottom of the lake were matched with his DNA.
It was not until the sixth day that Zhong Chun was detained that a skeleton found at the bottom of the lake was finally matched with Qin Qiaobei's DNA.
After multiple comparisons by the British police, they even found Qin Lina in a mental hospital and confirmed that the deceased was Li Yun.
According to forensic examination, the deceased suffered a severe blow to the skull, which was most likely the cause of his death.
The case finally came to a head, and the British police continued their investigation.
Pei Qing and the other two found Zhao Guanlan again.
Zhao Guanlan was in high spirits. When he saw Pei Qing, he waved from afar.
"Why are you here?"
Pei Qing: "I have something to ask you."
Zhao Guanlan: "Ask, I'll be discharged soon."
Xu An: "Have you been in touch with Li Yun?"
Zhao Guanlan: "We contact each other occasionally. Li Yun is a nice guy. He always lends money to me."
Then, she shook her head and said sadly, "What a bad fate."
