Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 418: Crime Hunting Illustrations 7

"No trouble at all." She was already on her way.

"Okay, then drive carefully, I'll get back to work."

After hanging up the phone, An Yingqiu focused on driving.

After finishing his work, Shen Yi took a picture of the painting and sent it to Jiang Feng before packing up to go back.

Knowing that An Yingqiu would come, he took out his phone and sent her a message.

An Yingqiu replied that she would be there soon, so Shen Yi walked out of the detention center gate and stood by the roadside to wait for her.

Just then, a car pulled up in front of him, and the driver rolled down the window and asked, "Sir, do you need a ride?"

Shen Yi politely shook his head at him: "No need, someone will pick me up."

An Yingqiu had just arrived in her car when she saw this situation: "Xiao Qi, isn't the person in the car in front of Shen Yi Cao Dong?"

"That's right, host, you've come at just the right time."

Having identified the target, An Yingqiu flicked a burst of spiritual energy at the car, instantly shutting down Cao Dong's vehicle.

She drove over and said, "Shen Yi, this way."

Hearing the noise, Shen Yi went over. Just as he was about to get into the car, he saw the driver get out.

After Cao Dong found that he couldn't start the car, he got out to check the engine.

Shen Yi paused involuntarily as he looked at his face clearly and opened the car door.

An Yingqiu opened the car door and got out, feigning confusion as she asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yi looked at the driver who was inspecting the car, his expression somewhat serious.

He tapped his bag with his hand, revealing a corner of drawing paper inside, and then glanced at Cao Dong.

An Yingqiu nodded knowingly, and then took out her phone to send a message to Du Cheng.

Shen Yi watched her movements quietly, when Cao Dong suddenly turned around and glanced at them.

He immediately composed himself, stepped forward, and asked, "Master, do you need any help?"

Cao Dong looked at him and said with a smile, "My car has a problem; it suddenly stalled and won't start."

"Master, would you like me to take a look?" An Yingqiu put down her phone, walked to the car, and asked with enthusiasm.

Shen Yi watched her walk in that direction with some nervousness, and he followed her.

Although Cao Dong felt that the two people were strange, he was naturally wary of people because he had done something wrong.

He asked calmly, "Are you here as police officers or lawyers?"

Shen Yi smiled but didn't answer. An Yingqiu had already walked to Cao Dong's side: "It looks like there's a problem with your engine. Call someone to tow it."

Cao Dong said, "You know about cars?"

“I drive often, so I know a little bit about it,” An Yingqiu smiled.

Shen Yi walked up to her and said, "Let's go, we should go back too."

“Mm.” An Yingqiu turned around after him.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Cao Dong turned around to get his phone to make a call.

He had only taken one step when he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

An Yingqiu withdrew her hand behind him. Shen Yi was startled for a moment before stepping forward to look at the person on the ground: "He is an accomplice in the marriage fraud case."

"Yes, I just notified Du Cheng, and they are on their way."

The two got into the car and sat down, waiting for the person to come over.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Shen Yi suddenly felt a little fortunate: "If you hadn't come to pick me up tonight, I might have gotten into his car just now."

"So, the meal you treated me to afterwards was worth it, wasn't it?" An Yingqiu said with a smile.

Shen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, it's worth it. I'll treat you to two meals."

"Okay, might as well eat it."

Shen Yi thought for a moment and then asked, "You knocked someone unconscious like that just now, you must have practiced this before?"

“I graduated from police academy, and I’m also interested in these things. I’ve even practiced a little,” An Yingqiu said.

"Very impressive." Shen Yi's eyes looked bright as he looked at her, illuminated by the car's interior lights.

An Yingqiu met his bright eyes. She was about to say something when she saw several cars approaching, so she stopped talking.

Du Cheng and his men got out of the car. The first thing they saw was the person lying on the ground. They waved and said, "Take him back."

He then walked over to the two of them and asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing." The two shook their heads.

Du Cheng looked at An Yingqiu: "You knocked him out directly."

“Knocking out murderers and dangerous individuals like this can effectively prevent trouble and harm,” An Yingqiu said seriously.

Shen Yi smiled and agreed, "That's right, I agree too."

Du Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Alright, let's go back first."

By the time they got home from the team, it was past midnight.

An Yingqiu entered the house, immediately took a shower, and then went back to her room to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

After arriving home, Shen Yi took a leisurely shower, but couldn't fall asleep. He picked up a pen and started drawing on his easel.

Half an hour later, he stared blankly at An Yingqiu on the drawing paper.

After a while, he came to his senses and laughed. He had followed his heart in his painting, which had given him some insight.

The voice murmured to itself, tinged with both laughter and determination: "I've long been aware of my feelings for her, haven't I?"

He looked at the people in the painting for a while longer before carefully and cherishingly putting the painting away.

In a restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, An Yingqiu and Shen Yi sat facing each other.

Both of them happened to get off work early today, and Shen Yi kept his promise and invited her to dinner.

After the meal, An Yingqiu watched as Shen Yi took out several sheets of drawing paper from his bag and handed them to her.

"What is this?" she asked, taking it from her hand.

A gentle smile appeared in Shen Yi's eyes: "Take a look first."

After looking through several paintings, An Yingqiu put them aside and looked at the person opposite her with interest: "Why did Teacher Shen draw so many of me?"

After saying that, she paused, her eyes filled with amusement, and then said, "You wouldn't happen to be interested in me, would you?"

Shen Yi met her gaze without flinching, but his ears burned because of her words: "I was planning to confess to you today, but you guessed it first."

He smiled helplessly and spoke again: "Yingqiu, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

An Yingqiu stared at him for a while, making him nervous, before smiling and nodding: "I'm willing."

"I'm very happy." Shen Yi's lips curled up.

An Yingqiu picked up the drawing paper next to her and waved it: "It's very well drawn. I can see your seriousness and your enjoyment."

She also understands painting and can tell the mood and emotions expressed by the artist at the time of the painting.

"I think I'll draw even more in the future." Shen Yi smiled gently, "From now on, my life will be all about you."

After the meal, the two left the restaurant hand in hand.

They passed a flower shop along the way, and Shen Yi went in, picked out a bouquet of flowers, and gave it to An Yingqiu.

Back upstairs in the apartment building, An Yingqiu opened the door and turned to the person next to her: "Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Shen Yi, holding the flowers, walked in with a smile: "Yes, I'll put the flowers in a vase for you. Do you have one?"

"Yes, I'll get it for you."

Even if she didn't have one, she had to have one. An Yingqiu walked into the room, took out a vase from her spatial storage, and then went out again.
