001 No matter what the cost
In LSJ City, country M, Qin Yuxi, who came all the way from the Huaxia Division, is in the hotel room, preparing the special effects makeup materials he will use tomorrow, and tomorrow will be the final battle for the chief special effects makeup artist.
She won the championship and could return to China with 100,000 dollars, and from then on, she no longer had to run the crew, work for this and that special effects studio, earn 5 cents, and paint hundreds of thousands of special effects makeup for others.
Money is secondary, and the meaning of the title of international chief special effects makeup artist is enough for Qin Yuxi to fight against the water.
It was late at night, and in the hotel room, only the clock hanging on the wall remained, ticking and ticking, which was a group of villas specially contracted by the program production unit in order to record the program, and in this room, cameras were installed in every place except the bathroom.
In addition to these cameras, Qin Yuxi also knew that at this time, there might be a group of people observing and recording her every subtle movement and facial expression from different camera angles.
Qin Yuxi turned her head and looked at the landline phone on the bedside table, and then looked at the clock, at this time in Huaguo, it was daytime, she wanted to call her mother and grandmother to relieve her nervousness about the final battle.
The phone at the bedside rang, but it rang suddenly, startling Qin Yuxi's heart jumped slightly, she hurriedly lay on the bed, stretched out her hand, and picked up the phone, and it was English coming from inside,
"Hey Qin, I'm Ada, can I come to the garden?"
"Is there something wrong?"
On the last day of preparation, Qin Yuxi didn't really want to have any close connection with Ada, and she and Ada were currently the only five remaining candidates who had the most strength to win the chief crown.
"Come on, baby, please, I've got a surprise for you. ”
Surprises? What surprises can there be between the two of them?
Qin Yuxi frowned slightly, knowing that her and Ada's every move, under the monitoring of the camera, was recorded in front of everyone in the outside world, if she didn't go to Ada's appointment, maybe tomorrow's public comments would be her special effects makeup industry's street, and all kinds of disharmony between her and the gods.
At least it will lose its fans, and at worst, it will lead to all kinds of discrimination, as well as what national hatred and family hatred, in short, the gains outweigh the losses.
Reality TV shows are sometimes so bad that they can always kidnap some people's behavior.
Hung up the phone, put on a thin coat, Qin Yuxi combed his long hair at will, opened the door, and met a dutiful cameraman when he went out, grabbing a camera to shoot her, Qin Yuxi followed the cameraman to the garden.
Along the way, she had to make a little lucky appearance, and whispered to the camera with an expectant smile:
"You say, what surprise will Ada give me? I guess it's a cake? Oh, I love matcha. ”
Of course, the cameraman will not answer her, and Qin Yuxi's words are certainly not said to the cameraman, but to the global audience who are about to see the show.
When she arrived at the garden, Ada didn't wait for her in the garden, Qin Yu hoped for a pool in front of her, and was a little impatient in her heart, so she could only keep selling cute treasures in front of the camera, but when she turned around, she only felt that she was stepping on something, so she lowered her eyes, lowered her head, bent over, looked at it, and smiled,
"Hey, zoom in, look, Ada, she's got an arm for me!"
Qin Yuxi, who is a special effects makeup artist, stretched out his hand, held the arm that was lying on the ground, and exclaimed:
"Well, the silicone is good, it feels the same as the real thing, and the skin lines are quite realistic, which is really a surprise. ”
Then, Qin Yuxi pulled and pulled out the arm directly from the grass, she pointed her arm at the camera, and let the camera focus on the details of the broken arm, and took a close-up shot.
"I think it's a prank on Ada's part, her arm is so real! she's awesome, I'm worried about tomorrow's game. ”
Qin Yuxi was still in front of the camera, holding the broken arm and chattering, suddenly, she just felt that something was wrong, she felt more and more real, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that what she was holding in her hand was actually a real arm.
At this moment, from the other end of the pool, several LSJ policemen poured in, holding guns in their hands, and shouted at Qin Yuxi from a long distance:
"Police, don't move, don't move!"
Qin Yuxi was a little stunned, but he was still laughing, raised the broken arm in his hand, waved at the cameraman, and asked:
"Hey, is this Ada's surprise? Are these real cops? Stop playing, I don't like that. ”
But she soon found out that this was not a surprise, and a staff member, covered in blood, rushed in from a hotel villa and shouted at the policemen:
"Oh no, Ada is dead, we're in the grass and we've found pieces of her body. ”
"Hands up, you've killed someone!"
LSJ policeman, in English, came up and tortured Qin Yuxi, at this time, Qin Yuxi lowered his head and sniffed the broken arm in his hand carefully, and was so frightened that he let go of the arm in his hand with one hand, my gad, this is really true.
She also thought that Ada's special effects makeup skills had reached the point of being fake, but she didn't expect that this was a real broken arm.
"Be careful with your words!"
Qin Yuxi looked at the policeman who came to torture her with sharp eyes, she understood that at this time, the sentence "you killed someone" was equivalent to empty confession, and even these policemen did not go through the initial investigation, so it was very bad to say so.
But she soon had no time to care about so much, Qin Yuxi was taken away, and all the evidence was accusing her of killing people and mutilating her body, including a video of Qin Yuxi carrying an axe, pushing Ada into the bathroom, and then carrying a big black plastic bag out.
There are too many suspicions, Qin Yuxi knows, but she is a newcomer in the makeup industry, and she fought all the way to the finals with a street fight, and it was abroad, and Ada's body left her fingerprints, although the evidence was insufficient, but the evidence that was only found pointed out pointed to her killing someone.
The public opinion is one-sided, and they are all saying that Qin Yuxi has enough motives to kill, and as long as she kills her opponent Ada, she can get the throne of the chief special effects makeup artist the next day.
She was just like that, and she was sent to LSJ's prison......
Three months later, Qin Yuxi, who was looking forward to and despairing, met Huaguo's Interpol, called Qi or Qi, a bunch of English documents, Qin Yuxi had a headache, and Qin Yuxi forgot what it was called, maybe he introduced himself, but Qin Yuxi didn't care, all she cared about was when she could go out.
At this time, Qin Yuxi's mind had been a little blurred by the torture of three months of prison life, her face was haggard, and she looked at the Huaguo criminal police sitting opposite.
It was a man, about the same age as her, quite handsome, wearing a white shirt and a black suit, looking very formal, he brought a lawyer to check with her some details of the scene at that time, this is the only person in three months, willing to check the details with her with a skeptical attitude.
Including her holding the broken arm, the people who came before directly said that she had a psychological problem, so she held a person's arm and smiled at the camera, and this Huaguo criminal policeman seems to know a lot about special effects makeup, and knows that they, special effects makeup artists, usually in the crew, want to create all kinds of bloody grotesques.
Therefore, he thinks that Qin Yuxi can hold a broken arm and smile at the camera, which is not a psychological problem, but a normal phenomenon.
It's just that the situation is very unfavorable to her, and the Huaguo criminal police also analyzed with Qin Yuxi sincerely, before Ada's accident, the video recording within 12 hours had been completely cleaned, so Qin Yuxi couldn't prove himself at all, and before Ada's accident, he had been alone.
Of course, the crew can prove this, but it was at night, most of the production unit was sleeping, and the cameraman who had been responsible for following Qin Yuxi could be used as a personal witness, but the cameraman has disappeared now.
Hearing this, the hope in Qin Yuxi's eyes disappeared little by little, she lowered her head silently, and looked at the table quietly, this LSJ's prison table, there was not even a line on the table, she suddenly missed the old wooden table in her grandmother's house, the lines were clear, and the rice grains fell on it, and she had to work hard to pick it.
"You can't lose hope. ”
Xu saw the disappointment on Qin Yuxi's face, and the Huaguo criminal policeman opposite him was a little urgent in his words,
"You don't know, how hard it took me to stand in front of you, Qin Yuxi, you have to be good, wait for me here, I will get you out of this ghost place. ”
Qin Yuxi, who was in her eyes, slowly raised her eyes, smiled, tears fell on her face, she looked at the strange Huaguo criminal policeman opposite, got up, and said softly,
"Thank you. ”
Then he bowed to the Huaguo criminal policeman, returned to the iron gate, and returned to the place where he should go.
"Qin Yuxi!"
Behind, the middle-aged Huaguo criminal policeman hurriedly shouted her name, she didn't look back, only heard him behind her back, and continued to shout:
"I'll find out that videographer, you wait for me, no matter what the cost!"
With a "bang", the iron door was closed heavily behind Qin Yuxi's back, and Qin Yuxi's last glimmer of hope was also closed.
She didn't believe what he said, they had no relatives and no reason, so why should he help her? It is difficult to find a person from country M, such a foreign country, and it can be imagined how busy Interpol is, how small she is, and no one will waste so many manpower and material resources for her.
And for so many years, she has been fighting all the way here, and in the end, I don't know who has carried the black pot for someone, in a foreign country, and the language around her is not hers, this country that shouts freedom and freedom every day is the country that makes her feel the most desperate.
It's hard to overturn the case for her here.
To spend the rest of her life here, think about it, Qin Yuxi doesn't know how long she can last, maybe, before the handsome Interpol can find the cameraman for her, Qin Yuxi will be tortured to death by life here.
She returned to her room in despair, looking at the small window high on the wall, when did it get dark? Qin Yuxi didn't know, she was in a trance, she didn't know how long she had shed tears, and then looked at the moon outside the small window, calling in a low voice,
"Grandma, I want to go home, this is not my home. ”
