After returning from Xiangjiang, Tang Wanjun became a lot more active. She stopped watching sand sculpture variety shows every day laughing and laughing. She started to practice her voice again, and began to pay attention to the latest pop songs. She followed Shen Huai to the company, and also went to the recording studio and dance classroom. a circle.
So much so that before Shen Huai left the company recently, he had to go to the recording studio and dance studio to arrest people.
Then there were rumors within Morningstar that President Shen was going to support a new singer, and he was currently investigating. So when Shen Huai went there next time, he found that the newly signed artists had all worked hard, and everyone's eyes were "blingbling" when they looked at him.
Shen Huai: "..."
The only one who knew the truth, Tang Wanjun slapped her thighs with laughter. Shen Huai was also helpless, but she also knew that even if the rumor was clarified, it would be useless. In addition, she had been with Cha Huayu recently, so she simply ignored it.
Shen Huai has learned some information about the new singers who were suppressed by Huayu before. Some of them have been discouraged and completely quit the circle, and they do not want to be involved in this circle anymore. Some have signed contracts with other music companies. I don't want to offend Huayu again.
But this time, there are new clues.
Three years ago, there was a video of a girl singing under the flyover. Because she only sang her own original song, she didn't care about the audience's songs, and even went back angrily. This hot temper and her beautiful appearance, All of a sudden it was all over the internet.
Her name is Xia Shiyu. It is said that after graduating from high school, she came to Zhongjing City to explore, determined to be an original singer.
After she became popular, many companies wanted to sign her, including China Entertainment, but China Entertainment asked for all the song copyrights, so Xia Shiyu rejected her, and finally she signed a record with a good reputation in the industry owned by the company.
She is indeed very talented, and coupled with her previous popularity, her debut road is extremely smooth, and she is considered to be the most promising new star.
Among the newcomers who debuted in the year, her brilliance completely overwhelmed the same period, because Shen Huai just signed Bai Weijia that year, and she paid special attention to the newcomers of the same period, and was quite impressed with Xia Shiyu.
However, even if Xia Shiyu entered the entertainment industry, her hot temper did not change. She directly posted on Weibo accusing Zhuo Feiyang of plagiarizing her new song. When Zhuo Feiyang was in his prime, one stone stirred up a thousand waves and caused the entire entertainment industry All shook.
Zhuo Feiyang has a lot of fans, and it exploded at the time. He directly scolded Xia Shiyu for touching porcelain on Weibo.
Huayu also found a lot of seniors in the music industry to post an article implying that Xia Shiyu touched porcelain, and even found Xia Shiyu's company, but Xia Shiyu refused to give in at all, even if she was found by extreme fans and sent her a dead mouse And the posthumous photo, she never flinched.
Later, this scolding battle attracted more and more people, and gradually, some people questioned that the musical styles of the two songs were very similar, but they were directly suppressed by Huayu, but such voices gradually increased.
But who could have imagined that at this time, some gossip media broke out that Xia Shiyu had been drinking with him in a bar in his early years. After his debut, he was taken care of, and he also attached a few blurred photos.
After that, many others claimed to be her former classmates and teachers, saying that she did not study well when she was in school, and that she mingled with some unorthodox people in the society, and even violent school girls in the same class.
All kinds of dirty water poured onto Xia Shiyu.
The trend of public opinion suddenly changed.
People convicted her on the basis of a few pictures, and they didn't believe everything someone with "problematic" character said.
No matter how Xia Shiyu argued, she was only singing in the bar. She was not a little sister, and there was no school violence. No one believed her. Criticizing her at that time seemed to be politically correct.
At first, she was scolding her netizens who were violent on the Internet. Later, she gradually disappeared. After a while, it was reported that she had terminated the contract with the new company, and people had disappeared.
She was gradually forgotten by netizens, like a small pebble thrown into the lake. Although it caused a momentary turbulence, she soon sank to the bottom of the lake, and no one cared or cared.

After reading Xia Shiyu's experience, Shen Huai decided to meet her in person. According to the address, he came to a small town in the south.
At the end of September, there was still autumn tiger, and the weather was unbearably hot. As soon as Shen Huai got off the plane, he felt the oncoming heat wave. He went directly to the place where Xia Shiyu lived according to the address.
To his surprise, the place was very dirty and dilapidated, with narrow alleys, potholes on the floor, all kinds of garbage piled on both sides, flies and mice infested, and there was an unpleasant smell.
The residents on both sides looked at him curiously and talked about him in dialect.
Shen Huai frowned slightly, he was wearing a clean suit, which was simply out of tune with this environment.
On the contrary, Tang Wanjun showed a nostalgic expression: "I lived in this kind of place when I was young, this kind of place is mixed, hidden in the deepest part of the city, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find it, this girl must have suffered a lot when she was a child. …”
Shen Huai responded in a low voice, then quickened his pace, and finally arrived at the destination of the trip, downstairs in a very dilapidated building.
The style of this building is very old, the walls have fallen off, revealing the red bricks inside, and there are patches of moss growing in the shade. Walking into the building, it suddenly felt dim, the walls were dark and covered with various small advertisements.
Shen Huai went upstairs and came to Xia Shiyu's door. He knocked on the door, but there was no response inside.
Tang Wanjun was a little puzzled: "Didn't she hear it? Is she still asleep?"
Shen Huai was also a little strange, but he was prepared to come here this time, so he was not in a hurry and knocked again.
However, Xia Shiyu didn't open the door, but the door opposite her opened, and a man with alcohol smell and messy hair stuck his head out: "Who are you looking for?"
Shen Huai asked, "Excuse me, does Xia Shiyu live here?"
The man looked Shen Huai up and down, narrowed his eyes, and made a gesture of asking for money with one hand.
Shen Huai took out the money from the bag and handed it to him, but he didn't let go, and asked lightly, "Tell me what you know first."
The man twitched for a while, but found that he couldn't, he pouted, and said, "You don't have to knock on the door, she hasn't been out of the house for three days!"
"Three days?"
The man said angrily: "No, I was about to go out three days ago, and I happened to meet her. She ignored her and went back to the room. After I came back, I never saw her go out again, you see. , the electricity bill is still posted on her door!"
Only then did Shen Huai notice that Xia Shiyu's door still had an electricity bill attached to it. He reached out and touched the door handle, but he found a layer of dust, proving that the man was not lying.
He just let go.
The man glanced at the paper money with satisfaction, and suddenly asked curiously: "Hey, I heard that this girl used to be a star? Is it true or false?"
Shen Huai didn't speak, but took out another banknote and asked, "Where is the neighborhood committee on your side?"
—
Shen Huai spent money to find out the address of the community from the man, but he knocked on the door again without giving up, but there was still no response.
Tang Wanjun volunteered: "How about I go in and have a look?"
Shen Huai nodded, but when Tang Wanjun wanted to pass through the wall, she was stopped. Both she and Shen Huai were stunned. After all, this kind of thing had never happened before.
Only then did Shen Huai notice that there was a faded yellow talisman on the door inside, but the cinnabar on it was still very bright. This kind of spell is often posted on the door of such an old house to protect the house and keep it safe, but it kept Tang Wanjun out.
Because the spell was stuck on the inside door, and there was an iron sand mesh on the security door outside, Shen Huai couldn't tear the spell off.
So he could only give up this method and went downstairs to find the community police.
Seeing his solemn expression, Tang Wanjun asked, "Are you worried that something happened to her?"
Shen Huai said softly, "I don't know, but I have a bad feeling."
After they arrived at the community and explained their intentions, the community police here were also very enthusiastic and agreed to come and see with him.
However, when they got there, no matter how much they knocked on the door, there was no response from the inside. This time even the police were a little worried. After a few people summed it up, they broke into the door directly.
However, when they opened the door, everyone was stunned. They saw that the small room was already full of rubbish, and the takeaway lunch boxes were thrown on the ground at will, and even faintly saw mold and flies inside. It was flying everywhere, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room.
Several policemen covered their mouths and noses and walked into the room. A policewoman opened the curtain and let out a small scream.
A pale and emaciated woman was lying on the bed with scattered pills and bottles on the ground.
The policewoman hurriedly walked over: "It's sleeping pills, hurry up and call the police for an ambulance, I'll go see if she's still breathing..."
Shen Huai had been standing at the door without moving. He knew better than anyone that the girl lying inside was dead.
Because just as they opened the door, Tang Wanjun disappeared as if being sucked in by something.
The sound of ambulances and police cars quickly resounded throughout the alley. The doctors quickly carried Xia Shiyu to the ambulance. Several policemen came over and asked several community police about the situation.
After the police registered the situation, they looked at Shen Huai who was standing aside: "Sir, please come back to the police station with us to make a record."
Shen Huai nodded, then glanced at the broken guitar in the corner, and then followed the police away.
Because the traces at the scene are very clear, Xia Shiyu did not have any signs of being forced, and the police also found a diagnosis of depression on her desk and drugs for depression, which can basically determine that she committed suicide.
Shen Huai came out after finishing the transcript. Standing under the bright sun, he was at a loss for a moment. He had seen many deaths, starting from seeing the remains of his parents in the plane crash, to this time when he saw Xia Shi, who was reduced to a handful of bones. Rain, but he didn't get used to it, but it made him more uncomfortable every time he saw it.
He suddenly felt a little dizzy, and quickly supported the tree trunk beside him to stabilize his body.
The dizziness in his head seemed to make Shen Huai hallucinated. He seemed to see black shadows one by one. These shadows were not clear. He seemed to want to approach him, but was blocked by something. The shadows let out a low howl. The sound made Shen Huai feel a tingling in his brain.
But when he opened his eyes, he found nothing in front of him.
The community police who came out behind him saw this and quickly stepped forward: "Sir, are you alright?"
Shen Huai slowly regained his senses and waved to him.
The policeman said: "Your face is very pale, why don't you go to the hospital for a check up."
Shen Huai shook his head: "I'm fine."
The policeman was very enthusiastic: "Go, I just heard a call from the hospital, saying that the girl had been rescued and was about to go over to see it! Didn't you come to her specifically? You should also care about her a lot. Let's go together."
Shen Huai knew that the person who woke up at this time was no longer Xia Shiyu. He sighed softly and followed the police.
