Since Huying became popular, 99% of the people that Man Lin received every day came to Huying.
He did not expect that one day even the police would come to the door.
It is a taboo to have a relationship between a popular artist and a criminal case. Man Lin said nervously: "We Huying have always been high-quality artists. Have you made a mistake?"
Once the investigation involves public figures, there will be many obstacles. Before the matter is clarified, Mingshu also does not want the outside world to know that Huying is related to the case of the serious crime team, so he and Fang Yuanhang came to Fangchi Entertainment this time. Neither was wearing a police uniform.
"No mistake, but don't be nervous. I came to Huying because he may be an important witness." Mingshu asked, "Where is Huying now?"
Hearing the "witness", Man Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
He has worked hard in the entertainment industry for many years, and he is well aware of the darkness in the circle. Some artists are pure and clean in front of the camera, and they have almost done all the illegal things behind their backs. . Now that Huying is very popular, there are countless people who are jealous of Huying and expect Huying to "roll over".
"He's not in the company." Man Lin didn't dare to offend the police, "You sit down for a while, I don't know where he is. I'll make a call."
An assistant put the hot coffee on the table, said "please take it slow" and left.
There were no outsiders in the room, Mingshu walked around the sofa and hastily observed the surrounding furnishings.
Fang Caimanlin had a sentence that made him very concerned - "I don't know where he is either."
Man Lin is Huying's manager. It stands to reason that Huying is at its hottest time. Every minute and every second of time should be used and tied to the company's interests. where.
This is not normal.
Mingshu never calls traffic stars, and he hardly watches entertainment news. Whoever is popular and which drama has exploded is forced to learn from the comments of others, what shows Huying is currently on, and whether there are new dramas. He didn't understand.
But the apprentice understands.
"Is there any news from Huying?" Mingshu said.
"It doesn't seem to be." Fang Yuanhang was sipping his coffee. "He seems to be taking a low-key route, unlike most traffic."
Mingshu's doubts deepened.
"master."
"Ok?"
"This coffee is different from the one you bought." Fang Yuanhang said, "Try it."
"What's the difference?" Mingshu said, taking a sip.
"Did you drink it? The taste is mellow, it's natural." Fang Yuanhang said emotionally: "The Internet celebrity coffee you bought has an artificial spice flavor."
"Don't drink if you dislike it." Mingshu went around behind the sofa and looked out through the one-way glass.
This is an office on the 23rd floor of Fangchi Entertainment, and outside is the hall where employees work. It was working time, and many people came and went in a hurry, looking very angry.
Mingshu didn't see Man Lin, and guessed that the agent probably went to another room to make a call.
Fang Yuanhang had finished his coffee.
Mingshu asked, "Is it really better than the one I bought?"
Fang Yuanhang blurted out, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Bureau Xiao to evaluate it. You should believe what Bureau Xiao said, right?"
Mingshu: "…"
Fang Yuanhang turned around quickly, "Oh, master, why do you think Hu Ying is not in the company?"
At this time, Man Lin came back from the phone call, "I'm sorry, the two of you have been waiting for a long time. That's it. Hu Ying's sister is in the hospital again, and he is in the hospital now."
Renxin Hospital in the southern suburb of Dongye City.
This is a private hospital that integrates medical treatment and convalescence. It has first-class service, a quiet environment, and perfect security. Of course, the fees are also ridiculously high. The patients living in it are either rich or expensive.
A woman under thirty was sitting on a hospital bed, wearing a soft hospital gown. The hospital gown was a bit wide, making her body thinner and thinner.
She is infusion, and her face is much better than when she was brought in a few days ago.
But it just turned from a deadly black blue to a paper-like pale.
Her name was written on the medication list on the table—Hu Yao.
She suffers from congenital immunodeficiency disease, a rare condition. When she was a child, doctors said she might not live to be ten years old. Now she has stumbled and lived more than ten years.
Not long ago, she caught a cold, which caused pneumonia, and was admitted to the intensive care unit on the same day.
She couldn't even remember how many times she had stood in front of the god of death.
A small cold can be dealt with by ordinary people by drinking a few sips of hot water, but she almost died from it.
The cold potion was slowly poured into her veins, and she sighed softly.
It is a burden to her and her family to live so stubbornly, why not...
"sister."
A voice came from the door, Hu Yao quickly pulled back his thoughts and wiped the corner of his eye with his left hand without infusion, "Xiaoying, why are you here again?"
The man called "Xiao Ying" is Hu Ying - Hu Ying is the stage name that he changed after he became an artist after fortune-telling.
Hu Ying.
"Aren't you happy when I came to see you?" Hu Ying didn't bring any condolences, and took off his dark gray long coat when he walked to the bed.
"It's not that you're unhappy." Hu Yao's eyes were full of worry, "But Xiao Ying, you have your career and you always run to me, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry." Hu Ying sat on the chair, and looked at Hu Yao seriously with those eyes that fascinated countless boys and girls, "Sister, I have arranged everything, it won't take much time to see you."
Hu Yao's face was full of guilt, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she asked, "Does it cost a lot of money every day to live here?"
Hu Ying smiled, "Sister, are you still worried about money?"
Hu Yao said: "It's not to worry about... Sister knows that you are promising and earn a lot of money now, but you have to save it for yourself. My disease cannot be cured, I have long been used to it. I am hospitalized. a private hospital."
"It's quiet here, which is conducive to your recovery." Hu Ying coaxed patiently: "And if it was replaced by those hospitals in the city, there were people everywhere, how would I come to see you?"
Hu Yao also showed a smile and sighed: "Our Xiaoying is now a big star."
The sister and brother were chatting about the little things that happened recently, and it didn't take long for Hu Yao to fall into exhaustion.
Hu Ying pulled the quilt for her, and said warmly, "Sister, go to sleep."
Hu Yao said, "Go back quickly, you are tired and you have time to rest."
Hu Ying shook his head, "I'll accompany you for a while, and I'll go back when you fall asleep."
The ward fell silent except for the mechanical sounds of medical equipment.
Hu Ying sat motionless on the chair with his back to the door, and the back looked extraordinarily lonely.
Mingshu met Huying in the corridor of Renxin Hospital.
When he was stopped, there was a trace of displeasure in Hu Ying's eyes, but the artist's self-consciousness made him take this displeasure back immediately.
He knew that the other party was the detective who came to him.
Renxin Hospital has complete supporting facilities and keeps secrets for almost all visitors. In the cafe, Ming Shu and Hu Ying looked at each other for a moment, and put Zhu Linglong's photo on the table, "Do you have any impression of this girl?"
Hu Ying looked at the photo with a dull expression, and shook his head after a few seconds.
"Her name is Zhu Linglong, she is 24 years old this year." Mingshu said, "She said she once played Werewolf with you."
When she heard the words "real werewolf kill", Hu Ying was obviously startled and frowned, "Is it her?"
Mingshu said: "It seems that she did not lie."
Hu Ying asked, "Are there any other photos?"
"This photo is not like Zhu Linglong in your memory?" Mingshu asked.
Hu Ying shook his head, "I did play Werewolf, but that was more than three years ago. This girl..."
Saying that, Hu Ying stopped, as if considering the words, "She has changed."
Clearly understand.
Three years ago, Zhu Linglong was still in college. Now, Zhu Linglong is already a receptionist in medical beauty. Although the time interval in between is not too long, girls may indeed be very different from three years ago through makeup and micro-adjustment. .
Fang Yuanhang immediately found out the photo of Zhu Linglong when he was in college, "What about this one?"
Hu Ying glanced at it, "Yes, I played with her in the real werewolf killing."
Mingshu took out the photos of Huang Yan and Li Zhaofeng again, stared at Hu Ying and said, "What about them?"
After more than ten seconds, Hu Ying said, "They are all members of the Werewolf we played at the time. Do they have any problems?"
Mingshu didn't answer and asked, "How did you guys get together to play Werewolf Killing?"
Hu Ying was a little confused, "How do you make an appointment together?"
"Remember." Mingshu said, "I want to know the history of that game."
Hu Ying was silent for a moment, "Three years ago, I signed a contract with Fangchi, but there was almost no job to find me, and no agent to manage me. Sometimes when I need to vent, I go to 'Storm' to play board games. There are at least ten table players. Nine tables are all playing Werewolf. After playing for an afternoon, someone suggested to play Werewolf once.”
Mingshu asked, "Who suggested?"
Hu Ying pointed to Huang Yan's photo, "She."
"So she organized the real werewolf killing?" Fang Yuanhang said.
Hu Ying shook his head, "It doesn't count. She just made a suggestion during her break. Some people at our table and the two tables next to it were interested, so they started to discuss the time."
Mingshu said: "The time you selected is early October?"
The lake video line glanced up, "Yes, early October."
"Did the time and place be decided immediately, or was there contact later?"
"It was decided on the spot." Hu Ying recalled and said: "It was still early that day, and those who were willing to participate immediately signed up and decided to go to Maoyang Village in Han Province. Someone contacted the driver to determine what would be in Xicheng District early the day after tomorrow. Waiting at the door of the hotel. Everyone who decides to go has paid for the chartered car.”
"Wait!" Fang Yuanhang felt a little unbelievable, "You decided so quickly?"
Hu Ying smiled bitterly, "If you don't pay for this kind of activity as soon as possible, maybe after a night, the emotions will pass, and that's fine."
Mingshu can understand, "I heard from the manager of 'Storm' that players killed by real werewolf generally do not leave contact information for each other, nor do they know each other's real names?"
"Well." Hu Ying said, "In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we all use code names."
"What's your code name?"
"Yellow."
Mingshu asked, "How many people went to Maoyang Village?"
Huying said: "With me, there are 12 people."
"You remember correctly?"
"No. There were actually 13 people who shared the money for the chartered car, but he didn't arrive on the day of departure."
"Do you still have any impression of this person's appearance?"
"I don't remember much. When they discussed where to go, I didn't participate. I sat and waited. I don't know why they chose Maoyang Village. anywhere is fine."
From Dongye City to Maoyang Village, the journey is not far off, and if it goes well, it will take 10 hours.
Mingshu gradually brought the question to the point, "Did something happen during the game?"
Hu Ying's expression changed slightly, as if he was ready to answer, but he didn't know how to answer.
Mingshu said, "It's difficult?"
"No." Hu Yingqian frowned, "I don't know."
The answer was beyond Mingshu's expectations, "You were in Maoyang Village, did anything happen there, how could you not know?"
"I only stayed in Maoyang Village for two days." Hu Ying said, "Nothing happened in the two days I stayed, but I don't know if anything happened after I left."
After a moment's pause, Hu Ying said again: "You find me and ask me about the killing of a real werewolf three years ago. I guess it must be what happened in Maoyang Village at that time. I don't know what I don't know, and I don't want to mislead you. "
Mingshu asked, "Why did you only stay there for two days? Did you charter a car together?"
Hu Ying sighed, "Because I can't afford to lose - when I drew the card on the first day, I got the werewolf card, and at night I killed a civilian, the girl you showed me just now, her name is 'Linglong'. During the day When I voted, I was voted out because of Linglong's reaction. If you have played Werewolf, you will know that people who died at night should not have any reaction at all. They voted me out because of outside factors."
Mingshu said, "So you left early in a fit of anger?"
"That's right." Hu Ying shrugged, "When I think about it now, I feel stingy, but I was really angry at that time."
Mingshu asked, "As far as I know, Maoyang Village is very remote and the transportation is inconvenient. How did you get back to Dongye City?"
"Walk, take a ride." Hu Ying said: "Actually, it's not that difficult. When you get to the county seat, there will be a bus to the big city."
"And then?" Mingshu asked again, "Do you still have contact with them?"
Hu Ying shook his head, "Not long after I came back, I got a job, I went to filming in other places, and I went to 'Storm' after half a year. It's been half a year. Werewolf killing started to go downhill, and 'Storm' is also transforming from a board game to a secret room. I Never saw those people again."
Mingshu didn't ask any further questions, watching Hu Ying's reaction.
Hu Ying didn't seem to be lying, but Mingshu always felt that this person's eyes were a bit confusing to him.
"You have asked me so much, and I also have a question I want to ask you." Hu Ying suddenly said.
Mingshu said, "What's the problem?"
"These three people..." Hu Ying said slowly, "Are they dead?"
Fang Yuanhang said, "Why do you think so?"
"Death" is definitely a no-brainer, but Hu Ying's emotions are very dull, "Otherwise, what is the reason for you to come to me?"
The serious crime team took the lead in the operation. At this time, Xu Chun and other field team members had arrived at Maoyang Village in Han Province at the behest of Xiao Yu'an.
