Talk About The Case

Chapter 22: Scorched corpse

Early the next morning, four subordinates gathered in Leng Yu's office. The room did not appear to be noisy because of the presence of the five people. On the contrary, everyone's faces were serious.

"I read some news about Zhou Lianying last night and found nothing suspicious. He is both serious and professional when directing films, especially the later stage of the film has improved significantly. Of course, these comments are from the film industry. Expert commentator." Leng Yu said.

Her eyes slowly swept towards the crowd, with a hint of coldness, and continued: "Furthermore, I have never heard that he has enemies, but sometimes his seriousness will cause complaints from the actors, but this should not provoke him. The most important thing about the killing is that he and his wife seem to be very affectionate."

"But, last night I read what a netizen said, saying that he had changed the heroine in a movie "Resee" twelve years ago. Although this netizen may not be able to believe what he said, there is no point. , I think we might explore this clue in the past. What do you think?" Leng Yu asked.

"Boss, in fact, there are so many things to change the male and female lead in a movie, especially the unspoken rules prevailing in the entertainment circle..." Huang Lin said that, after a pause, she continued: "The so-called unspoken rules are in this circle. Most of them are sex-related transactions, or it means being taken care of. Especially in a movie, the heroine and female protagonist have **** with the director or investor in order to get a role. Of course, the unspoken rules may not only exist for women, and sometimes men also have them. of."

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Well, this kind of thing may have happened to Zhou Lianying, but the media seems to have not reported it at all. However, we cannot determine whether the change of the heroine is a fact."

Huang Lin said: "Yes, all of this is speculation. After all, Zhou Lianying's reputation is considered good in the film industry. I have never heard of any scandals."

Xiao Cheng said: "However, the most powerful thing in the entertainment industry is to bleach artists. No matter how nasty things are done, as long as there is proper bleaching, everything can become a misunderstanding."

Jian Qin, standing next to Xiao Cheng, said: "But Zhou Lianying is a director, and he is still a very famous director. It is too late for everyone to rely on him and please him. Even if he does something nasty, I think everyone will be because of his reputation. And not daring to speak out."

Leng Yu hugged his arms and said, "Well, these are not what we know anymore, so we have to check if there is really a change in the heroine. If there is, we can learn from it. The reason is to find out whether Zhou Lianying's behavior is as upright as the outside world said."

She looked at Xiao Cheng and Jian Qin, and said, "I will bother you two. The hero and the other crew members of "Resee" may know these things and can inquire from them. It's just that they may not be together because of the filming. One place, otherwise, they may not tell the truth, so this clue will be more complicated and time-consuming."

After Xiao Cheng and Jian Qin agreed, they left.

Leng Yu said to Huang Lin and Aaron: "We will stay in the game, and if there is something to do, we should have a response."

"Yes, boss!" the two said in unison.

Leng Yu stayed in the office all morning. She took out the interrogation report of the crew of the "Jury" that day and read it again.

None of the members of the crew looked like someone who would kill Zhou Lianying. Looking at their relationship with the director, it was not that they were particularly familiar with each other, and there was no motive for the killing.

Zeng Weijian, Zhao Jiaren and Zhou Lianying have worked together twice. They have never heard of any contradictions. No one talks about their gossip on the Internet, and it seems that there has never been any inconsistent rumors.

As for the deputy director Li Guangyi, I heard that he has a good reputation in the crew, and he is more docile than Zhou Lianying. He has not had any quarrels with others before, and there have been rumors that Zhou Lianying cherishes him very much.

Suddenly, she remembered that when she was having dinner with Lin Xin at the bar last night, she heard what the couple next door said. They said that Zeng Weijian had changed his agent and that the original agent had resigned because of illness.

Leng Yu remembered that the former agent's name was Xu Xiaofeng, so she typed the words "Xu Xiaofeng, agent" on the Internet, and the system showed information about Xu Xiaofeng.

She looked at the notebook in front of her and looked up about Xu Xiaofeng.

I saw on the Internet that Xu Xiaofeng was 45 years old, a middle-aged woman, and used to be an assistant agent for a modeling agency many years ago.

Later, Xu Xiaofeng gradually rose from an assistant to an agent. He also had several models under him, and his fame gradually became louder. Most of her models are flat models, but there are also runway models.

Leng Yu clicked on various photos of Xu Xiaofeng on the Internet, and saw many pictures of her with her models. Each photo looks kind and cheerful. It seems that she has a good relationship with these models. Many of the group photos were taken with the same model, and it feels that this model is different from other models. Not only is she taking flat photos, but her tall figure also allows her to show her grace on the runway at the same time.

Leng Yu thought, it seems that this model is quite famous and appeared on the covers of some fashion magazines many years ago.

She continued to read down on Xu Xiaofeng's deeds, and found that she later left the original modeling agency and switched to acting as an agent in the show business circle. Later, she became the agent of the famous actor Zeng Weijian. Only later chose to resign and left the show business because of illness.

After reading some news about Xu Xiaofeng's lace, Leng Yu suddenly felt a little hungry in her abdomen, so she walked out of her office and went to the cafeteria in the bureau. There were several policemen sitting there in twos and threes.

She didn't seem to have seen it, and after buying food, she sat there quietly eating.

Leng Yu's mind kept circling the news of Xu Xiaofeng. This woman looked shrewd and capable, and from a recent photo of her, she didn't seem to be sick, so she suddenly quit her job.

When she was thinking, she was tapped twice at the table. Leng Yu looked up and saw that it was Lin Xin. She was shocked, why she came here again.

"Are you following me? How come I can meet you everywhere?" Leng Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Isn't this lunch time? If you are allowed to come over for dinner, I am not allowed to come?" Lin Xin replied.

Leng Yu glanced at the clock on the wall of the cafeteria, and it really wasn't time for lunch.

Lin Xin didn't say much, and sat down across from her, quietly looking at the phone without talking.

Leng Yu has always spoken little. When Lin Xin didn't speak, she kept silent, eating the food in front of her bite by bit, taking a peek at her from time to time, and seeing her looking down at her phone for a moment.

She felt that when Lin Xin was out of work, she was a very bowed clan.

She remembered that in high school, when mobile phones hadn't become popular, Lin Xin had become addicted to reading novels for some reason. Originally, girls of that age liked to read romance novels, but Lin Xin was different, she fell in love with suspense novels.

Many times, I can see her reading novels in her class and in every corner of the campus, and even reading novels when she is eating. She has reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

Leng Yu had been to Lin Xin's house before and saw a series of novels on her bookcase. Later, she accidentally learned that one of Lin Xin's series of novels was missing, and she couldn't buy it anyway.

"What are you looking at?" Leng Yu couldn't help asking when seeing Lin Xin sitting there smiling at the phone.

Lin Xin heard her talking and raised her eyes and said: "It's nothing, just a novel."

Leng Yu frowned. Instead of reading a novel with a book in his hand, this guy read it on his mobile phone instead?

"Is it that good-looking?" Leng Yu asked lightly.

Lin Xin put her phone away and said, "It's okay." After a pause, she looked at her dinner plate and asked, "I'm full?"

Leng Yu wiped his mouth, "Yes".

"Is there any progress in the case?" Lin Xin asked.

"No." Leng Yu replied.

With another word, Lin Xin held the corner of her mouth slightly.

Seeing her look like this, Leng Yu smiled slightly and said, "But I know some news about Xu Xiaofeng."

When Lin Xin heard this name, she was very familiar, and suddenly remembered the conversation between the couple at the table next door last night.

"Isn't she Zeng Weijian's former agent? The one who resigned after being sick?" Lin Xin asked.

Leng Yu nodded and said: "Well. But I took a look at her deeds this morning and found it a bit strange. She originally worked in a modeling agency, but later gained a certain reputation, she switched to acting as an agent in the entertainment industry. It’s the prime of life, but he resigned because of illness."

Lin Xin stared at her eyes and said with a smile: "The career is in full swing, but she has either changed careers or resigned. Although she resigned because of illness, it is always weird."

Leng Yu said: "It seems that we finally have a unified view."

At this point, Leng Yu saw Huang Lin trot over and walked hurriedly. When she came to Leng Yu, she said: "Boss, I received a news that a burnt corpse was found in the suburbs of Lingshi next door! According to the locals. According to the police report, the corpse had been taken to the autopsy room in the Lingshi Police Station. A piece of paper was found in the mouth of the burnt corpse with the word'N' engraved on it!"

Leng Yu and Lin Xin both stared, why did such letters appear again? Does the murderer belong to the same person?

"Furthermore, according to the police over there, there were piles of burnt paper beside the body. Due to the large amount, some of the paper was not burned out, and the unburned part of the paper turned out to be banknotes!" Huang Lin went on Said.

Paper money? How could you burn a pile of paper money next to the corpse?

The amount of information is too large, and the burning of paper money makes people more sure that the murderer must have hidden a deeper meaning.

only. .

What does this mean?

And, the most important thing is who the corpse belongs to?

Leng Yu asked: "Has the identity of the body been verified?"

Huang Lin replied: "No, the forensic department is conducting an autopsy."

Leng Yu said, "It shouldn't be too late, let's hurry to the next door to the Spirit City!"

After that, she nodded with Lin Xin, and then hurried out of the cafeteria following Huang Lin.
