Ten years ago, Shao Meng coveted Xie Wei's good fortune, while Tao Tao was planning how to become a star - although Shao Meng's singing was not the best, he had two popular songs, which could barely be considered second- or third-tier.
For Tao Tao, who had just entered the industry, this person was already someone she needed to look up to.
She was 21 years old that year and started out as a group performer. After three or four years, she became a special performer, specializing in the role of a dancer.
Tao Tao was unwilling to be an extra, she longed to become a real star, to get high pay, and to get high-priced endorsements. Therefore, after being injured and hospitalized, she had been trying to find a way to get in touch with Shao Meng.
Her young figure and charming looks are her greatest assets.
She bribed the nurse and found out Shao Meng's movements, hoping to create a beautiful encounter in the hospital garden.
Who would have thought that heaven would not go as planned? She thought the best ending would be to gain power through leverage, but she overheard the conversation between Shao Meng and the disfigured man.
It turned out that Shao Meng was almost dying.
It turns out that Shao Meng was coveting Xie Wei's fortune.
Between being rich and being rich, even a fool would know the choice. Tao Tao almost immediately made the decision to abandon Shao Meng and get a piece of the pie.
The disfigured man said, "If you want to borrow someone's fortune, you need to know that person's date of birth."
Shao Meng was smart, and immediately said, "The crew had a few incidents, we can persuade the director to perform a ritual."
The entertainment industry is superstitious. After several accidents, the crew is unstable. Even if the director himself does not believe in these things, he will not mind holding a ceremony to calm people down. Modern people do not pay attention to birth dates. If you find a reasonable excuse to ask Xie Wei for it, he should not refuse to give it to you.
The disfigured man said: "If he could be there, it would be much easier."
Shao Meng's eyebrows raised with joy: "I'll prepare it right away, what do you need?"
"No, I'll make the arrangements." The disfigured man said calmly, "I want to remind you that there is a price to pay for borrowing luck to change your fate. Are you ready?"
Shao Meng asked: "What's the price?"
"You'll know when the time comes." The disfigured man refused to reveal, "It's not too late to regret now."
Shao Meng hesitated, but his mind was already occupied by Xie Wei's luck. Greed filled his brain, so he couldn't think calmly. He said, "Let's do this."
Tao Tao remembered their conversation well, and found Shao Meng alone, and said loudly: "Count me in, or I will tell Xie Wei about this."
Shao Meng was shocked and angry, so he was not willing to let her take advantage of him. Although he verbally agreed, he secretly found someone to get rid of Tao Tao.
But it was the disfigured man who saved her: "It's fine if there are two of us. Xie Wei is so lucky. If you can't bear this fate, it will backfire on you. If you don't die, you will be injured."
Shao Meng was still unwilling.
Tao Tao added: "I have some connections with Life Production and can help you."
Shao Meng looked at her, then at the disfigured man, and not wanting to cause any more trouble, he reluctantly agreed.
They used the accident as an excuse to persuade the director to perform a ritual. The disfigured man pretended to be a master and wanted to find out the birth dates of Xie Wei and other actors on the pretext of determining whether their birth dates conflicted with each other.
After the deed was done, the disfigured man gave them a talisman and asked them to tattoo the pattern on it on their bodies.
"Once the tattoo is completed, the ceremony is considered successful," he said.
Shao Meng felt uncomfortable, as if he was stamping himself: "Why do you have to get a tattoo?"
"This is a mark, a mark of you stealing other people's things." The other party smiled strangely, "Regret? It's too late to regret. You have ten years. After ten years... hehe."
They were on a pirate ship and had no choice but to do as they were told.
After the filming was finished, the two of them got tattoos and were furtive, so others mistook them for an underground relationship. Shao Meng was wary of Tao Tao, and Tao Tao was afraid that Shao Meng would abandon her, so the two simply acquiesced and spied on each other.
Not long after, "Mysterious Cases of the Song Dynasty" was broadcast and the two became famous.
From then on, Xie Wei's luck was stolen by these two despicable villains.
This is the story Zhang Xi tells.
Jian Jing asked her: "You know all this just because you are a nurse?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on Zhang Xi's lips: "Of course not."
Fame and wealth are attractive, and anyone who has experienced the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry is no exception. After Shao Meng was admitted to the hospital, fans waited at the hospital entrance day after day, and flowers and gifts were sent into the ward like water.
Zhang Xi used to think that she was already popular, but how could a little nurse in the hospital be compared with a celebrity
She also had some wild thoughts.
Just as the disfigured man saw Shao Meng's intention, he also said to Zhang Xi: "You want to be a star, I can show you a way."
Zhang Xi was used to being flattered by men, but she knew instinctively that the man in front of her was not her admirer, and everything he did was just to make her happy.
"Why are you helping me?" she asked cautiously.
The disfigured man said, "I want you."
Zhang Xi was startled, and suddenly remembered that she had examined him before and witnessed his physiological reactions several times. However, as a nurse, she was used to seeing these things, and she didn't expect him to have such intentions.
She was reluctant.
But the other party said: "I have never lacked women, it's just that it's hard to find one now. When I get better, it won't be your turn to get good things."
It was strange. He was a man with a disfigured appearance, but he was very self-important when he spoke, and he looked like he was playing with others to applaud.
Perhaps Zhang Xi was confused by it, or perhaps he was born with a gambling nature, but he finally agreed.
She took care of him for half a month, and before he was discharged from the hospital, a visitor came to visit her. The disfigured man introduced her to him, and that was her current boyfriend.
Zhang Xi quit her job and began to learn acting, but she felt uneasy, always fearing that all her efforts would be in vain.
The disfigured man probably thought of her "hard work" during these days, so he told her the secret of Shao Meng and Tao Tao before leaving.
"I will not mistreat the women who have followed me." The disfigured man said, "You have something on them that you may need someday."
This is why Zhang Xi knows this secret.
She had kept her mouth shut and held onto her trump card, hoping to play it out at the critical moment. Unfortunately, over the past ten years, the gap between her level and Tao Tao and Shao Meng was too great, so she seldom had the opportunity to take advantage of it, and it had been delayed until today.
Zhang Xi was afraid that if she didn't use it anymore, she would have no use for it, so she asked Tao Tao to meet and threatened her to withdraw from the competition, otherwise she would make a big deal out of it.
"I didn't have to harm her, that's enough." Zhang Xi defended herself, "She was just a thief, it has nothing to do with me."
Jian Jing believed her words.
"Did Tao Tao do anything unusual at that time?"
Zhang Xi recalled: "She seemed scared."
"oh?"
"Although I threatened her, I have no idea whether it will work." Zhang Xi smiled bitterly, "What do I know? I have no evidence. The financial backer behind Tao Tao is not small, and I can't afford to offend him. If she does something secretly, I will suffer. But strangely, as soon as I said it, she agreed without hesitation, as if she was afraid, and asked me how I knew."
Jian Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.
After Shao Meng's death, Tao Tao felt uneasy. Could it be that she thought Xie Wei knew about it and was seeking revenge, so she was in a hurry to get away? No, it wasn't a feeling. Xie Wei mentioned fate many times, so it was obvious that he knew about it.
Then after many twists and turns, we return to Xie Wei.
He had the motive and the conditions to commit the crime.
The question is, how did he kill Shao Meng
"Master Jian." Zhang Xi said, "I have told you everything I know. What you said..."
Jian Jing smiled, stood up and wrapped herself in a bath towel: "I will do what I promised you. Whether you can succeed depends on your own determination."
Zhang Xi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's good." He paused, half serious and half joking, "Come to think of it, it's a good thing it wasn't me."
"What do you mean?" she asked puzzled.
Zhang Xi said: "If I really am, I would probably have to plead guilty right away."
Jian Jing was greatly surprised: "Am I so intimidating?"
"No." Zhang Xi smiled and shook his head, saying meaningfully, "If I were a man, even if I'm not, if you say I am, then I'm still a man."
"How is that possible?" Jian Jing laughed, thinking that she was flattering her again and was not letting her down at all.
Zhang Xi knew that what she said was nonsense, but the girl in front of her didn't understand her charm.
At three o'clock in the morning, Jian Jing was lying on her bed browsing medical websites.
How can one get meningitis
The doctors' answers varied widely. Epidemic meningitis is caused by a cold, infectious meningitis such as Japanese encephalitis may be caused by mosquito bites, and more are caused by viral infections.
Jian Jing remembered that Shao Meng felt a little uncomfortable in the afternoon and looked like he had a cold.
Could it be that he was really born out of bad luck, had a cold that caused meningitis, and was frightened to death by hallucinations? This is too metaphysical.
It can't be that simple.
If it was that simple, why hadn't the system announced the completion of the task until now? Although it was a bit of a cheat to think this way, the system had a high reputation in Jian Jing.
But she really had no clue.
She had investigated Shao Meng's crime scene and performed an autopsy on his body. Even now, she knew that the man was still not completely dead. However, with such favorable conditions, she still could not deduce a reasonable answer.
Jian Jing had to admit that she was not as powerful as she thought she was.
Well, thinking about it carefully, since she subdued the robbers in Lakeside Park, her confidence has been increasing day by day. Mrs. Qin's bizarre death before did not scare her, but instead aroused her fighting spirit, and she claimed that she was not afraid.
Does she really have the right to be so arrogant
The level of the expert card is judged by Sherlock Holmes.
But Holmes has been defeated before.
As for Conan... let's not mention it.
Jian Jing turned over, and the vague impetuousness gradually faded away. She learned confidence from the Huangjin case, and she should also learn humility from this case.
"System, draw a common card."
[System: Drawing cards from special copies requires double the courage points.]
Jian Jing: "... smoke it."
[Card drawing in progress]

[Limitations: Questions must be set in advance, subjects must be selected in advance, and cannot be changed. If the selected person does not answer in the question, it will be invalid.]
[Scene-limited: only applicable to special dungeons and special missions]
Jian Jing was shocked. She had never seen such complicated instructions before.
"Why are special dungeons and special missions so... different?" She was unsure.
[System: Special copies and special tasks are abnormal conditions, allowing the host to use cards to make up for it]
Jian Jing understands that cheating is allowed under special circumstances.
She was curious: "How is abnormal illegal?"
[System: A person fell from a hundred-story building and was safe and sound. This theoretically exists and is a special state.]
When Jian Jing heard this, she felt something was wrong: "So, catching a bullet with bare hands and kicking a satellite with a football?"
[System: can be considered as a special case]
Jian Jing: I understand.
