Zheng Fei and Gu Xiang rushed up before the others were about to go up and stopped everyone below.
Le Fan and Guan Jin took a look and gasped.
There was a man in the wooden box, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and there was no blood like a piece of paper. Le Fan bent down and probed his carotid artery, then pulled down his arm, shook his head and said softly, "It has been at least two hours since he died, and the body has begun to stiffen."
"What's going on?" Qin Tao roared as he saw the chaos in front of him.
Chen Qiaoyu stood on the stage with his hips on his shoulders and glanced at him: "What is it called, now there are unexplained dead people on your set, please keep quiet and cooperate with our investigation."
"what?!"
Zhang Xin finally finished shaking and shouted hoarsely: "There is a dead person in the box."
"It was originally designed to have a dead person, but it was just pretended by our cast!" Qin Tao was furious.
"Director Qin," Yan Qing calmed down, "it's not an actor, it's true, there is a dead person inside. It's a staff member of our props team..."
Yu Manting exclaimed softly, and the others panicked.
"How could this be..." Qin Tao slowly sat down in the chair, and after a while he raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are the police."
… What should I say, did you come too early or did this person die just by coincidence? Dong Changlong felt a cold sweat. These people have no peace since they arrived. Today, they must invite the master to do the practice and get rid of bad luck.
Quickly contacting the forensic doctor in the bureau, Gu Xiang asked the security to help seal off the scene, ready to start the investigation directly.
Guan Jin looked away to look for Lu Yunyang, but found that he was talking to Yan Qing in the corner below the stage, his expression was very concerned, as if he was comforting others.
"Yo, I really didn't come for nothing today, there are so many wonderful plots." Le Fan also saw it and couldn't help but tease Guan Jin. Who told him to drag himself to the studio with bad intentions and find it unpleasant, it is the true nature of a hero to fall into the trap at the right time, "Maybe it's an ex-lover, she looks so attractive."
Guan Jin turned his face and said lightly, "Yeah, it's very possible. Maybe it's an unspoken rule or something."
Le Fan looked at him suspiciously: Did he guess wrong? There's nothing wrong with these two? Or is it just Lu Yunyang who is hot
Guan Jin ignored it and went straight to the director.
"Who is the screenwriter of this movie? Does everyone know what the filming part is about today?" Chen Qiaoyu was asking Qin Tao.
"The screenwriter is our frequent collaborator. He is currently on vacation abroad. It was I who wanted such a story. After we found him, we talked for a long time, and he wrote the script according to my ideas. As for the content, only the actors knew at first, but before filming started , props scenes and camera are in place, so everyone knows."
"Then who was going to play the corpse in the first place?" Guan Jin asked.
"They hired an extra who had appeared once and acted in the drama troupe. I don't remember the name..." Qin Tao felt a little headache, "Officer, will this happen to the filming?"
Chen Qiaoyu glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Director Qin, there is a murder case, and you are still thinking about your movies. You are really dedicated."
Qin Tao pressed his forehead: "Officer, I'm not cold-blooded. I'm sorry if something happened, it's a life. But I'm a director, so I can't help much. All I can do is make a good show, you know. A movie means a lot of upfront investment, and I have a big family’s jobs to keep, so it’s impossible not to think about it.”
"It can't be filmed for the time being. Everyone present can't get rid of it. At least until our investigation is over, you should stop for a while."
The forensic doctor soon arrived at the scene, followed by Wen Jinghan.
"How about it?"
"We are investigating as soon as possible. There are a total of 22 actors and staff at the scene, and we have excluded 6." Gu Xianghui reported.
"That's not enough. When the forensic examines it, you can continue to ask."
Several leading actors, directors and assistants were taken to the big box to sit down. Guan Jin, Lu Yunyang and Chen Qiaoyu stood opposite them, and Wen Jinghan sat at the back alone.
"In order to save everyone's time and avoid causing a commotion, we will ask as soon as possible, and I hope everyone will cooperate." Chen Qiaoyu said.
"What is the general plot of this movie?" Lu Yunyang asked.
Qin Tao gave a brief introduction: Li Chen, played by Yan Qing, is a playwright of a troupe. His parents died in a construction accident when he was a child. While he wants revenge, he desperately represses himself with moral and legal standards. So he always used different methods to kill all the people involved in the accident over and over again in the dream, and woke up but couldn't remember everything that happened. But he subconsciously wrote his dream into a script and became a famous screenwriter of suspense drama. In the troupe, I met Wang Mengnan, who was unruly but had lived a complete and happy life since childhood. But nightmares came one after another, Li Chen began to recall his dreams, and the perpetrators of those accidents died one by one as he imagined, as written in the script... Li Chen was startled, and he began to trace the truth. As a result, he fell into a trance-like state, often unable to remember what he had done. Just when he was confused and helpless, Wang Mengnan discovered his secret. It turned out that those people were killed by Li Chen himself, but he was in a state of split personality and did not remember what happened at all. Li Chen fell into despair and chose suicide despite Wang Mengnan's efforts. Before he was about to die, Wang Mengnan showed his true colors: everyone was killed by Wang Mengnan, in fact, she was also the victim of that accident, and her happy life was just an illusion. Once she accidentally found out that Li Chen was dreaming of killing people, so she used hypnosis and drugs to set up Li Chen's dream, killed those people in the same way, and then misled Li Chen and made him take the blame for herself. Li Chen finally left the world with a smile, no matter what, he was relieved. But Wang Mengnan began to dream frequently. In the dream, she secretly followed behind Li Chen and watched him kill again and again. She secretly imagined how good it would be if she had the courage to kill...
Guan Jin frowned: "Who is the murderer?"
"This is a suspense left to the audience, and everyone has a different answer in their hearts."
"Suspense? Hmph, it's a pity, reality is not a movie, we have to catch the murderer without leaving any suspense!" Guan Jin hates this kind of movie without results, it's inexplicable to watch.
"How should this person die?" Chen Qiaoyu asked.
"...was slowly drained of blood and died."
"Sure enough." Guan Jin felt that he had lost too much blood at first sight when he saw that person, "but it takes a long time to drain a person's blood, and it also needs a venue. This wooden box is just a place to remove the corpse. You today When did you start working here?"
"Nine o'clock in the morning." Yan Qing said, "The staff will come to set up the venue at eight o'clock."
"Then has anyone moved that box before?"
"That was the second scene. We filmed the first scene for a long time, and the box was always behind the curtain of the stage. It may have been moved by the staff. For details, you have to ask about the props and the drama."
"Who's going to make sure the extras are in the box before filming starts?"
The assistant director on the side raised his hand silently, swallowed hard, and said, "When I went to confirm, I opened the box after shouting a few times without seeing anyone, but when I saw someone in the gap, I thought he had already He hid in it and praised him, so he was carried up..."
I really don't know whether to call him lucky or Ma Daha, Chen Qiaoyu rolled his eyes: "The assistant makeup artist has been waiting in the dressing room in the afternoon, saying that he has never done any makeup for Lin Yan, and thought he would not perform this afternoon. Yours The work connection is also too bad, so I don’t know if there is such a lack of a guest performer.”
Both the director and the assistant director bowed their heads silently, which was too embarrassing.
Lin Bai walked in and whispered in Chen Qiaoyu's ear: "I found out that the performance was, but he didn't come at all. According to him, he received a call from the crew last night, telling him that the show was postponed, and asked him to wait for the notice. There is no doubt at all. I checked the phone number, and it is in a phone booth at the corner of the pedestrian street not far from the Studio City. There are no surveillance cameras at that location. The pedestrian street is full of people in the evening. Find someone. I'm getting someone to investigate."
"The deceased person was called Zhao Qi. He was a temporary staff member who helped in the props team. The head of the props team thought it was strange that he didn't come today, but he didn't bother to contact him. Are you familiar with this person?"
All shook their heads. A temporary staff member that only Yan Qing has seen, but he can't even name him.
"Several, it's a routine business. Please tell us your whereabouts from last night to today." Guan Jin took out a voice recorder and held it to his chest.
Qin Tao looked at the assistant director Du Ping: "We ended work at 7 o'clock last night, and then I went to have a meal with my assistant, and then discussed the script until after 10 o'clock, and then I went home. I came to the set at 8 o'clock today. I haven't left, and others haven't left since they came."
The assistant director nodded: "Then I went back to the hotel room. I woke up at six o'clock in the morning and came here to prepare after having dinner with some crew members. The hotel has surveillance cameras, you can check."
Qin Tao shrugged: "I live alone, and I don't have any witnesses. And I rent the house. There is surveillance at the gate of the community, so maybe it can't prove anything."
Yu Manting said softly: "I didn't have much drama, so I left at 5 pm. Then I went to dinner with my assistant Xiao Wu, and the driver drove me home. I sorted out the things I needed today with Xiao Wu, 8 She'll go back after a while. I live alone too."
Xiao Wu is a girl with straight hair and looks very smart. She nodded vigorously: "I went back to sleep. I live with my parents, they can testify."
Zhang Xin was a little too frightened, and now he is still shrinking. He whispered: "I have only play this afternoon. I went back to sing with my friends yesterday. I went home to rest at 11 o'clock and slept until noon."
The female No. 2 is a somewhat famous actress, named Lin Shuyao. She flipped her hair, "My assistant has been sick these days. I came here by myself. When I left, the driver drove a nanny car to pick me up. Then he sent me home and left. I also live alone."
When it was Yan Qing's turn, he lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.
"Mr. Yan." Guan Jin's tone was cold, "How about you?"
Yan Qing raised her head and glanced at Lu Yunyang subconsciously: "Xiaoduo sent me home after I left, and then she went back. I rested when I was a little tired, and no one can testify."
Xiao Duo opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back.
"Is he right?" Guan Jin asked, staring at Xiao Duo.
Xiao Duo's back froze when she was seen: "Yes, yes. I took Yan Qing back, and then took a taxi home. I rented a house by myself... "
"We'll verify your words. Let's be here today. I hope everyone stays at home and doesn't leave City S recently. We'll let you know if you can resume work after our investigation is over." Wen Jinghan stood up and said. shu xiang men di walked out of the box, and there was a quarrel on the stage.
"Xiaofan~ Wow, this man died so terrifyingly, stay away from him. Hey, don't touch him!"
"Go away! I'm a forensic officer, don't let him check! Has anyone kicked this idiot out of the way?"
"Idiot" Jin Mailong came over as soon as he received the news of the accident on the set. This is the first time he has invested in a movie since he took over the business. Where would he put his face if something happened. Who knows, as soon as he arrives here, he sees Le Fan squatting in front of the corpse and busy working. Young Master Jin is full of pity.
The people on and off the stage were amazed when they watched their golden master be reprimanded by a policeman and shrank to the corner and drew circles.
"Mr. Jin!" Zhang Xin, who had just come out with unknown circumstances, saw Jin Mailong and hurried over, "Mr. Jin, you are here. I was the first to find out, and it scared people to death."
"That's right, such a terrifying corpse..." My baby was still flipping over him qaq "I'm shaking just thinking about it now."
"I'm shaking too." Urgently.
"...How about I get you a glass of water?"
"Don't need water, go buy a cup of coffee. Add double milk and sugar." Jin Mailong first thought of Le Fan's favorite drink, "By the way, buy some hot drinks for other police officers." It is necessary to have a good relationship with the police officers.
"... I'm going to buy it?" Zhang Xin's face was a little dark.
"Well? Aren't you the drama manager?"
"… "
Le Fan couldn't help laughing when he heard it, this straw bag, being angry with him means he can't get along with him.
"Officer Wen, can't we stop filming now?" Jin Mailong just remembered the business.
Wen Jinghan nodded: "Temporary."
"I heard that this person is a temporary staff member. No matter what your investigation is, we still have to take some responsibility. I will let his family contact him and give them some compensation, so it won't hinder your investigation."
"After our investigation, we will notify you. You can only deal with related matters internally."
"Okay, you can ask Le Fan to inform me."
Wen Jinghan acquiesced to his small calculus of helping the public and private.
When the car drove to the gate, Xiao Duo handed the bag to Yan Qing.
"Yan Yan, take a rest. With Brother Mo and the others here, it will definitely not have a negative impact on you. I haven't heard any rumors from the media now. It is estimated that President Min and the Jin family have secretly suppressed it. "
Yan Qingqiang nodded vigorously: "It's alright, anyway, I won't be able to film in the past two days, so you should take a rest. If you have any questions, I will contact you."
Xiao Duo looked at Yan Qing's leaving back, sighed softly, and told the driver to drive away.
"You're back!" The maid greeted Yan Qing at the door.
"Yes."
"The eldest young master said that he can't come back tomorrow because he was stumped by something. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll let the kitchen prepare it."
Yan Qing shook her head: "I don't have any appetite. I'll be hungry later, I'll tell you."
"Okay." The clever little maid ran away to do her own business.
Yan Qing returned to the bedroom on the second floor alone, threw herself on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.
I don't know how long I slept, and I felt that something was restraining my body. Yan Qing struggled to wake up. His body was being surrounded by a strong arm, and warm breath came from the back of his neck.
"Can't you come back tomorrow?" Yan Qing was taken aback.
