Qi Yue gave her a thumbs up, then handed her a pen and paper. He also considerately got her a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda, opened the lid and handed it to her.
After Chu Jingqiu thanked her, she began to concentrate on painting. The girl was concentrating on painting. She was very devoted and immersed in her own world.
She had clear and bright pupils, curved eyebrows, and long, thick eyelashes that trembled slightly. Her face was white and shiny, her flawless fair skin was faintly pink, and her thin lips were as tender and juicy as rose petals.
Xiao Yihan's heartbeat quickened, pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He suppressed the strangeness in his heart, jumped out of the car and stood side by side with Qi Yue in front of the car.
Qi Yue saw his face was slightly red, so he asked with concern: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Is it hot in the car?" Then he got in and tried it himself, "Strange, I don't feel hot!"
Then he glanced at Chu Jingqiu, who was concentrating on painting in the car, and seemed to understand something. He playfully bumped Xiao Yihan with his shoulder and said jokingly, "Brother, the iron tree that has been there for thousands of years has finally blossomed."
Xiao glanced at him coldly, and he was so scared that he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be a quail, but his big peach blossom eyes were full of smiles.
More than an hour passed and Chu Jingqiu completed her portrait. She also thoughtfully matched the face with several hairstyles of that era.
Xiao Yihan felt that this woman's face and the man's face in disguise were completely different people. He frowned unconsciously and looked at Chu Jingqiu in confusion.
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "The last portrait I gave you was of this woman disguised as a man. This one was drawn based on her bones and muscles, after removing all her clever disguises."
"How much do you think this portrait of you looks like you?" Xiao Yihan looked through the portrait, seeming a little unconvinced.
"The facial area can reach more than 95%." Chu Jingqiu answered confidently.
In her previous life, she practiced painting for many years, and she especially liked portrait painting. She also became a disciple of her father's colleague, a well-known simulation portrait expert. This simulation portrait technique has made her famous many times. Moreover, in this life, the original owner also learned painting from her father at the age of three, and her painting attainments were better than her previous life. The combination of these two can be said to be a powerful combination.
Xiao Yihan put the portrait away and handed her a note. "This note was obtained from a human trafficker. Your abduction is not as simple as it seems. It was premeditated, but the target was not you. Look at the information on this note. Is this person from your educated youth center?"
"About 172cm tall, with an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a single braid with a black bow. She's the tallest among all the educated youth, and speaks with a southern accent..." Chu Jingqiu became more and more frightened the more he looked at her. "Isn't this Zhang Pingping?"
"Zhang Pingping didn't go to the town to purchase that day. Did she tie up the wrong person?" Chu Jingqiu asked doubtfully.
"We interrogated Jin Shuixiang. She planned to kidnap the person on the note, but the person on the note didn't show up. Since you look good, they decided to kidnap you on impulse.
"Do you know who Zhang Pingping has offended, or who she has had a feud with?" Xiao Yihan asked.
"I've only been here a month, so I don't really know the specific details. According to the people in the village, Zhang Pingping is dating a soldier. The team leader Yu Fugui also asked someone to propose to his daughter, but was rejected." Chu Jingqiu thought for a moment, "Oh, by the way, yesterday, the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, Gu Wanshan, came to the village to inspect the work. It was this Yu Huanxiang who invited Zhang Pingping and me to report on our work. Because Gu Wanshan has a bad reputation and is nicknamed 'Gu the Donkey', it's obvious that he has no good intentions, so Zhang Pingping and I both refused." Chu Jingqiu rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Yu Huanxiang didn't insist on me going anymore. She kept insisting on having Zhang Pingping go. It seems like this is going to ruin Zhang Pingping!"
"We can ask Zhang Pingping, maybe we can find the person on the note." Chu Jingqiu suggested.
"To be honest, our mission this time is to catch spies, not human traffickers. The follow-up issues regarding human trafficking are handled by Director Gu. I can't ask about it openly. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so we must avoid alerting the enemy." Xiao Yihan said helplessly.
"We can find a way to obtain the handwriting of Yu Huanxiang's family and compare it with the words on the note to see if we can get any clues." Chu Jingqiu thought for a moment. "And the handwriting of the educated youth. Anyone who can know Zhang Pingping's clothing and travel time so accurately must be someone Zhang Pingping knows."
"It's unlikely we can find the person through the note. Think about it, someone who does something like this wouldn't leave any evidence behind. A large-scale investigation isn't an option, so we can only take it slow." Xiao Yihan looked Chu Jingqiu in the eye and said seriously, "We hope you'll assist us in this secret investigation to find out the truth."
"Me?" Chu Jingqiu pointed at herself and asked, "Why do you think I can do it? Why do you trust me so much?"
"Because we believe that Mr. He's granddaughter, Chu Baichuan's daughter is absolutely loyal and reliable." Xiao Yihan looked at Chu Jingqiu sincerely, his eyes full of affirmation.
"Okay! I promise you." Chu Jingqiu agreed readily, "But, I have to work every day, so it's not convenient for me to contact you!"
"We have already informed the township secretary. You will assist us in solving the case. Tell others that you are here to help the township propaganda team. If we need help, you can assist us. If not, you can stay in the propaganda team. Painting slogans and murals is not tiring. It is what you are good at.
You still remember Qian Yunyun, the one we rescued! Go find her at the township supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and try to get some information. Ask her if she's had any recent enemies or suspicions about anyone.
According to Jin Shuixiang's confession, it was Boss Ma who specifically ordered the kidnapping of Qian Yunyun, the person who was disguised as a man.
We are currently arresting Boss Ma, and perhaps we can find a breakthrough from Qian Yunyun.
Your similar experiences will resonate with each other, so it's more appropriate for you to go there instead of the police station."
After the three of them had reached an agreement, Chu Jingqiu rode his bicycle back, thinking as he walked: Judging from Zhang Pingping's recent behavior and her somewhat avant-garde hairstyle, Zhang Pingping has either traveled through time or been reborn.
I must be careful with what I say and do in the future, and I must not reveal my true identity in front of Zhang Pingping.
------------
On the way back to the guesthouse, Xiao Yihan's handsome face was as cold as ice. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a sharp, cold light. He said coldly, "Secretly investigate Gu Wanshan and collect relevant evidence. This scum who harms society must be severely punished."
Qi Yue smiled instead and said happily, "Brother, don't worry about me. I will definitely make the pervert who covets Chu Zhiqing pay the price."
