After talking with the assistant, Jian Jing reviewed the case again.
Now, the cause of Shao Meng's death is very clear: he died of fright, and the stimulus should be the hallucination caused by meningitis. Going back further, he was infected with meningitis.
Meningitis is usually caused by viruses, bacteria, or other microorganisms.
This is actually close to being unexpected. The only person of concern is actress Tao. She and Shao Meng both got sick one after the other and had hallucinations. Is there any connection between the two
If so, it would have to be linked to "Mysterious Cases in the Song Dynasty" which was released ten years ago.
According to Xie Wei, Shao Meng and Tao Tao met and fell in love due to an accident ten years ago. And several accidents happened during the filming of "Mysterious Cases in the Song Dynasty" ten years ago.
After that, Xie Weiyi fell into decline, while Shao Meng and Tao Tao became very popular.
Xue Xiaosheng mentioned the "little ghost", and Shao Meng's assistant directly pointed out the key.
Borrow life.
Xie Wei has mentioned "fate" several times. He said that many people say that he has a good fate and is destined to become famous.
Could it be that he already knew what Shao Meng was doing
Jian Jing thought about it for a long time, and called Director He again, asking: "Director, do you know that I can borrow your life?"
Chief He asked: "Who is borrowing life? A living person borrowing a living person, or a living person borrowing a dead person?"
"This person should have been famous all over the country, but was snatched away by another person. He didn't become famous, but the person who borrowed his name became famous." Jian Jing didn't believe it, and her tone was inevitably a little hesitant.
Who would have thought that He Xianchang would remain silent for a moment, and then ask in a low voice: "Where did you hear that from?"
His eyelids jumped: "Is this really the case?"
"Life is a very mysterious thing. You can't prove it exists, nor can you prove it doesn't exist. It can also be explained from a psychological perspective. It depends on whether you believe it or not."
"Is it a long letter?"
Director He thought for a while and said, "I don't know of any similar examples."
Jian Jing became interested and asked him to explain in detail.
"Actually, what you're talking about is not called borrowing a life, but borrowing luck. In other words, borrowing a life means lending one person's life span to another person. The person whose life span is borrowed will lose his life span, right?" Mr. He, a professional, said clearly, "Borrowing luck is different. It means someone's luck is stolen. For example, someone's luck is to make a fortune, and he should be a billionaire, but his luck is borrowed, so he can't make a fortune anymore."
Jian Jing: Is this true
Director He said again: "But, whether it's borrowing a life or luck, it's not your own thing, so it's impossible to transfer it exactly the same. You stole ten years of someone's life, and it's only your turn for one or two years. Time is up, and you have to give it all back, and you have to pay the price yourself."
This is similar to what the assistant said.
Jian Jing pondered: "Then, what characteristics would people who have done this have?"
"Generally speaking, there are taboos, but the taboos are different for different people." After answering, Director He couldn't help but be curious, "Why, have you come across this kind of evil magic again?"
Jian Jing smiled bitterly: "I guess so. Captain, I'll send you a picture and see if you recognize what it is."
The tattoo patterns on actress Tao’s body were sent over.
Director He looked at it quickly and said with a smile: "Don't you recognize this bird? It's a red-footed falcon. The dove in the 'dove occupying the magpie's nest' that we talk about is this bird."
The cuckoo takes over the magpie's nest? This answer seems to be embarrassing.
Jian Jing asked: "Is this person with the tattoo the one who borrowed someone else's luck?"
"That's not possible." Director He pondered for a long time and muttered, "The style of this tattoo looks familiar. I think I've seen it somewhere before."
Jian Jing: "Where?!"
Director He: "I don't remember."
: “…”
At least it is certain that Ms. Tao, like Shao Meng, is also a person who borrowed luck.
Whose loan did you borrow
Considering the special time limit of ten years and the low probability of becoming popular, it is not uncommon to point the finger at the same person.
If Shao Meng and Tao Tao were just riding on Xie Wei's luck, they would already be first-tier stars now. If Xie Wei's popularity could more than double, how popular would he be
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
—No, no, that’s not right.
Feudal superstition is unacceptable.
Jian Jing tapped her head, knocked away the sympathy, and continued to think about the case.
The story of borrowing someone's life could not clear the suspicion of Shao Meng's murder. On the contrary, it became Xie Wei's motive for murder.
If he knew that Shao Meng and Tao Tao had done such a thing, he would most likely transfer his years of resentment and hatred to them, and intend to take revenge.
This makes perfect sense.
The problem lies in the method and process of killing.
Jian Jing pondered for a long time, but still had no clue.
At night, Liang Yi, who had already returned, informed him of the latest news.
Tao Tao's medical examination report came out, and it was not confirmed that she had meningitis, but a mental problem.
As early as half a year ago, she suffered from depression due to the leak of her photos. The agency secretly sent her to treatment and she got better after a month. But this time, for some unknown reason, her condition worsened again and she was suspected of schizophrenia and needed to be observed.
Jian Jing asked: "Can we learn something from him?"
Liang Yi: “No.”
The clue is broken.
Jian Jing couldn't help but begin to wonder, was Ms. Tao's sudden illness the next victim after Shao Meng, or was it just a coincidence
"Teacher Jingjing." Jiang Baiyan came over with the cat in his arms. "Why aren't you resting yet?"
Jian Jing leaned her head down on the table and said irritably, "There are no clues."
Jiang Baiyan said: "Is there anyone who can help you?"
He sighed: "I want to know whether Shao Meng died in an accident or was murdered."
Jiang Baiyan: "Uh..."
"Otherwise, Tao Tao's sudden illness was a coincidence, or was she the next victim after Shao Meng?" Jian Jing pondered, "Or vice versa, Tao Tao was the first victim. Who leaked her photos?"
Jiang Baiyan knew about this: "It was his previous agent. The two of them had a falling out, so he leaked his photos to the paparazzi."
Jian Jing immediately searched for an agent. This was the first agency that actress Tao had changed in ten years. The agent was a marketing expert after the rise of the Internet and had nothing to do with Xie Wei.
What's going on? Is it really time for bad luck to start
"System, please don't send out any more metaphysical tasks." He muttered to himself.
[System: Please try your best to complete the task. If it is difficult, you can use the card drawing system. The system is dedicated to serving you.]
Jian Jing sighed again. If you can avoid drawing cards, then don't do it. If you draw cards when you encounter problems, the joy of solving the puzzle will be greatly reduced.
Jiang Baiyan's brows were still furrowed. He recalled for a moment and hesitated: "Last night, I saw Zhang Xi talking to Sister Tao."
"What time?" Jian Jing sat up straight immediately.
"Tonight." He lowered his voice, "Zhang Xi said she had something to say, so she took Sister Tao to the hot springs."
Jian Jing held her chin up and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up: "Thank you, I still have things to do, good night."
Jiang Baiyan reminded him that since he couldn't find a way out of Xie Wei and Tao Tao's body, he might as well try Zhang Xi. But his mouth was very tight, so he had to think carefully about how to pry it open.
Miss Zhang Hongchun's name is Zhang Xi. After graduating from technical secondary school, she entered a hospital as a nurse. At that time, she became the most beautiful girl in the hospital because of her beautiful appearance, and the director's son was pursuing her.
If there hadn't been the unexpected incident in "Mysterious Cases in the Great Song Dynasty", she might have chosen one among the many suitors and become a rich wife with a comfortable and stable life. Or she might have switched to the medical circle, started her own business and become a rich woman.
But fate is so strange that he chose to enter the entertainment industry and became an actor.
Unfortunately, after seven or eight years in the industry, he is still not very popular.
Will good luck come to you this time
Zhang Xi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
was startled: "Who?"
"Ms. Zhang, it's me." Jian Jing said.
Zhang Xi hesitated. Before the case, he thought Jian Jing was just a simple young girl, unworldly, a little aloof, but easy to coax. But after the case, she changed, sharp and persistent, which made people scared.
"Can you open the door?" asked the person outside.
Zhang Xi took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't avoid it, otherwise it would cause more trouble.
"Miss Jane." He opened the door and asked in confusion, "It's so late, are you busy?"
Jian Jing smiled kindly: "I want to take a hot spring bath, but it's so late and I'm afraid to go alone. Can you go with me?"
It turned out that they were just taking a hot spring bath. Zhang Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, he would not miss the opportunity to please her. He said gently, "No problem. I'll be here right away."
She changed into her swimsuit and went to the hot spring wrapped in a bathrobe.
Jian Jing was already in the pool, shaking the ice beer in her hand towards him: "Would you like some?"
"Okay." Zhang Xi was used to drinking with others, so she naturally agreed.
The warm pool water and cool beer slowly let down my guard.
Jian Jing said, "It was quite lively next door at this time the day before yesterday, but now..." She shook her head and sighed, "Shao Meng has only been famous for a few months, and it's like this."
Zhang Xi continued what he said: "Yes, things in the world are unpredictable. Who can predict what will happen?"
"I don't know what to do with Devil 2." Jian Jing's skill in setting traps is getting more and more proficient. "If I change the actors, the audience may not accept it."
Zhang Xi bit her lower lip and suddenly said, "Xie Wei is a better actor than Shao Meng. If it's him, there will be no problem."
Jian Jing pretended to "not understand your entertainment industry" and asked, "But I heard that TV dramas nowadays don't pay much attention to acting skills. It's more useful for actors to have a lot of traffic. Xie Wei...is not popular."
If it was a case, Zhang Xi would definitely be more cautious, but since it involved a circle that he was familiar with but the other party was not, he naturally felt more secure.
She seized the opportunity to bring the two closer together, and half-concealedly confided: "Xie Wei is just unlucky. If he could play in Devil 2, he would definitely be more popular than he is now."
Jian Jing looked unconvinced.
"I heard, I heard that Xie Wei is destined to be very famous." Zhang Xi said, "It's just that he was a villain in the past, so he didn't become famous. All he lacked was an opportunity."
He tried his best to persuade her, "Teacher Jian, you also watched Xie Wei's performance today. There were many actors who matched him well. He is definitely one of the best actors you have ever seen."
Jian Jing sighed and hesitated to speak.
After a long time, he avoided the topic and said, "Ms. Zhang, let's not talk about him. Let's talk about you. How did you get to know that Boss Wan? He said such outrageous things that day. Are you... okay?"
Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, then said calmly: "I'm used to it."
"He doesn't respect you at all." Jian Jing sighed as if she were an ordinary friend, "What's so good about having a boyfriend like this? You're so beautiful, are you afraid that you won't be able to find the next one? How long have you known each other?"
Zhang Xi was confused by the previous words, and she answered, "Ten years."
Just like what the whistleblower said. Jian Jing calmed down and pretended to be curious: "Ten years? So you knew him when you were a nurse?"
"Yeah, it can be considered as love." Zhang Xi subconsciously avoided the topic, "He has always supported me and given me many opportunities, but unfortunately my luck is not very good."
After that, he asked tentatively, "Teacher Jian, I want to play Mrs. He, do you think I can do it?"
