Chapter 5: Funerals
"It really has nothing to do with that ex-boyfriend?" Mei Fang glanced at Fu Yuan's computer desktop with a strange expression, and immediately looked at his nose and nose.
Fu Yuan seemed to be unconscious, and said seriously: "Yes, you look at these photos, this is a single photo of Song Jie before participating in the draft, a group photo with his classmates, and some photos of participating in the draft at that time, do you look at the batch that broke out on the Internet, do you find any differences?"
Mei Fang took a closer look, "Yo, really, are these eyes a little bigger? The nose is straighter, right? No wonder it is rumored on the Internet that Song Jie has had plastic surgery." He muttered to himself, and suddenly reacted, "You mean, these are all filmed in recent years?"
Fu Yuan cut out a few more photos, "Yes, look at this batch, they are all photos of Song Jie after her comeback five years ago, this is the stills of her participation in "Deep Palace Resentment", the photos of the activities promoted for this drama, and the stills of the next few dramas......" She sighed lightly, "I'm not an expert, but judging from the changes in these photos, she should have had a facelift before her comeback, plus makeup, so it looks very different from before." In my judgment, these things should have been filmed in the period after her silence and before her comeback. β
The corners of Mei Fang's mouth drooped, and he subconsciously rubbed his hands, "During that time, if there was no media attention, it was estimated that it would be a little difficult to check." β
Unexpectedly, Fu Yuan suddenly tapped the keyboard again, and there was an ambiguous panting sound from the computer.
"You look at the video here, there's a little sign here. Fu Yuan pointed to a certain point without changing his face, and then pressed pause. "It's a blurry, but I've enlarged it and processed it to improve the clarity, and it's ...... this photo."
With her light tapping, the computer screen immediately switched from a piece of white flowers to a magnified version of the white and blue circular logo picture.
"LY, is this the logo of the hotel?" Mei Fang understood at one point, and began to chant words in his mouth.
The computer screen cut to the official website of Lanyue Garden Hotel again, and the blue logo in the upper left corner was impressively listed, although it was not quite the same shape as the small logo extracted by Fu Yuan, but it was basically the same.
"Three years ago, Lanyue's senior management was replaced, and the business strategy has also changed, this is the new logo, and the one in the video, I checked, is the old logo of Lanyue. β
Yuan Xin, who was blushed and heartbeat by the various indescribable pictures and sounds on Fu Yuan's computer that lasted for a whole day, finally covered his face and ran to the corner to work, finally came over: "Lan Yue, isn't that a hotel owned by a real estate tycoon? It seems that it was built in the year of my college entrance examination, and I passed by them when I went to Haicheng to play." What do you say about the super five-star standard, people imitate the Dubai standard to build, anyway, the expensive one is to death, and the off-season online is at least six or seven hundred. β
Fu Yuan stared at the information on the computer desktop, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "Well, Lanxin Group, the main business is real estate, and the founder and current chairman seems to be a native of Qingzhou......"
"That's right, we have also built a Lanyue in Qingzhou in the past two years, but it seems to be relatively deserted, and the price can sometimes be reduced to four or five hundred on weekdays!"
Mei Fang glanced at his nephew, who was not doing his job, and forcibly pulled the topic back to the right path: "So, when this video was filmed, Song Jie and Zhang Zhiqiang had broken up for 800 years, and Zhang Zhiqiang's suspicion could basically be ruled out." However, if it weren't for him, who would it be? Song Jie's boyfriend before his comeback?"
"Lan Yue was built six years ago, and Song Jie made a comeback five years ago, which is really a coincidence. Fu Yuan didn't know what he thought, and the smile on the corner of his mouth began to turn cold.
The next day, Qingzhou City Funeral Home.
The small funeral parlor that was originally full of people seemed to be opened by a senior monk today, and it was crowded from eight o'clock in the morning, and after nine o'clock, it was full of people, inside and out. In addition to those who are dressed in black and have solemn expressions, there are more reporters from major media who carry long and short lenses and microphones. Even a light rain from the sky did not dampen the enthusiasm of these people.
ββ¦β¦ The well-known actress Song Jie died in the early morning of May 3, and the cause of death was suicide by swallowing an overdose of sleeping pills...... Before his death, he was involved in an indecent photo turmoil...... His funeral was set up in the Qingzhou funeral home, and many people in the entertainment industry led by Qin Ling and Li Liangwei came to mourn.......
Fu Yuan and Duan Biren were all dressed in black, and they were inconspicuously mixed in the crowd that came to mourn, and they didn't take the initiative to say hello to Yang Danqiong, who was standing with Song's father and had red circles under his eyes, but waited solemnly to line up to enter the venue to pay respects.
"By the way, why are we here to attend the memorial service?" Duan Biren asked in a low voice, "Isn't our job to investigate? Now that we have new clues, we should go to Lan Yue's side, right? Isn't it a waste of time to come here?"
Fu Yuan touched the fine raindrops on his face, and was a little glad that he didn't wear makeup today.
She pulled the black dress on her body, her expression became more serious, but the words she said in her mouth were completely different styles: "Comrade Xiaoduan, was your IQ sucked away by Zhang Zhiqiang? Could it be that you want to run to Lan Yue and ask Lan Yue for their opening records four or five years ago?"
Duan Biren said angrily: "Don't call me Xiao Duan." As long as you want to do it, I can't get my hands on this thing to record the opening of the house......!
"However, nine out of ten you can't find Song Jie's name on it, let alone another person. Fu Yuan immediately sneered.
The two were arguing at extremely low decibels, but Fu Yuan suddenly felt a familiar chill. Duan Biren was wearing an awkward suit, she didn't seem to feel anything, she was just a knee-length skirt with five-quarter sleeves, and her bare arms and calves immediately had goosebumps.
As she expected, Liang Jingcheng quietly appeared behind the left of the two, still holding her strange big black umbrella in his hand. It happened to be raining, so I didn't have to attract a lot of weird eyes today. It's just that he was born tall and outstanding, he doesn't need to say anything or do anything, just standing there quietly is enough to attract people's attention, but he is always expressionless, as if no one is around.
Fu Yuan's heart moved, his figure flashed, and he deftly squeezed to Liang Jingcheng's side.
"Lawyer Liang, are you here too?"
Liang Jingcheng rarely showed a hint of surprise, and nodded at her: "Miss Fu, I saw your email last night, it's very useful." β
Fu Yuan glanced at his arm that had erected cold hair, and then looked at the drizzle fluttering in the sky that seemed to be unstoppable, hesitated for two seconds, and finally decided to stay here to hide from the rain.
She smiled at the other party very naturally: "Time is in a hurry, only the first batch was given yesterday, and I will give you all the remaining two days." By the way, Mr. Liang, we have made some progress on our side in finding someone, but we may need a little assistance from your side. I don't know, it's inconvenient to find a place to talk in detail for a while?"
Liang Jingcheng lowered his eyes slightly, but after thinking for a second, he agreed.
Funerals are usually dull, and of course, this is for ordinary people. If it were a popular actress who was forced to commit suicide because of the nude photo scandal, the situation would be very different.
Before the memorial service began, although there was a crowd outside the funeral home, most reporters were able to exercise restraint, just taking pictures on the periphery and reciting the prepared scripts to the cameras. However, after the memorial service, when the people inside came out one after another, the scene exploded all at once.
"Tsk, where is this still an interview, it feels like robbing a people's girl!" Duanbi was hiding from the rain under the eaves, looking at several big names who were besieged not far away.
Fu Yuan chuckled: "It's quite lively today, have you read what you said on the Internet?"
Duan Biren pouted, "That's it." scolded one-sidedly a while ago, as soon as Song Jie died, the trend of public opinion immediately turned to sympathy. I dare to say that if Song Jie didn't commit suicide, but had some accident, such as a car accident or something, there would definitely not be so many people here today, and those trolls on the Internet would also say that she deserved to be cheap. β
Fu Yuan's eyes were cold, and he didn't say anything more.
Maybe it's because they came to the memorial service, those famous directors and actors don't bring a bunch of bodyguard assistants and the like like usual, so in the face of the overwhelming siege of the media, most people can only maintain a polite smile and give some painless answers.
For exampleβ
"Mr. Qin, this time, as the leader, you hosted a memorial service for Song Jie, what do you think? Song Jie's comeback and successful transformation are also inseparable from your support, I don't know what you do to comment on the indecent photos on the Internet a while ago......
"Director Li, I heard that your new work will start filming in the second half of this year, right? According to rumors, you have been in contact with Xingguang's Yang agent, is the heroine originally scheduled to ......be Song Jie?
"Miss Su Yao, as a talent show artist who debuted at the same time as Song Jie but broke up and parted ways, does your coming to the funeral today mean that you have released your ......previous suspicions?"
But there are exceptions, some people want to be dumb in front of the camera, and some people simply come to a pompous performance with tears in their eyes.
For example, a certain Fu Yuan looked at a young female artist who was a little familiar, and at the moment she was talking tearfully about her sisterhood with Song Jie, and how painful she was after Song Jie's death, and her indignation at online violence.
This female artist who sings and writes well is not a bystander, she is one of the two girls who met in the elevator when Fu Yuan and the two went to the Starlight Building that day.
"It's nice to cry, but it's a bit eye-catching. Duan Biren couldn't help but complain.
Fu Yuan, who was beside him, suddenly changed his expression, and walked a few steps directly from this hidden corner, looking in the opposite direction of the singer-songwriter girl, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"What's the matter? What time did you make an appointment with that person surnamed Liang, and you are going to leave now? I advise you, it's better for you to have less contact with him. Save time ......"
Duan Biren followed her gaze, but fell on the short middle-aged man who was being "arched by the stars", and couldn't help frowning.
Fu Yuan came back to his senses and just looked at it in his eyes.
"What kind of expression do you have? Could it be that Li Liangwei has a problem?"
Duan Biren snorted: "It's nothing. β
Fu Yuan muttered to himself, "Speaking of which, although the actor did not show up in that video, his hand could be seen when a few cameras shook past, maybe this can be used as a clue for investigation." β
While muttering, she took out her mobile phone to look for photos, and then handed them over to Duan Biren to see, "Look, these hands are slender and smooth, and at first glance, they have never worked, and they are quite young." Although the size of the hands is not necessarily proportional to the size of the body, in most cases, the hands should not belong to the person you have in mind right now. β
Duan Biren was suspicious by a word, and his face was a little embarrassed: "How do you know who I'm thinking?"
Fu Yuan raised his chin in the direction where the two of them were looking, and said as a matter of course: "Didn't you say that when you saw Director Li's body reaction just now, your eyebrows are furrowed, the wrinkles around your eyes are significantly deepened, and your nose is raised, isn't this a typical 'Wang Zhi's contempt'? So, if you either list him as a suspect, or you two have had some previous holidays, and you still can't dissolve it~"
The corners of Duan Biren's mouth twitched and he sneered: "You have this kung fu to study me, why don't you think about it, how to use your magic stick theory to find someone with a pair of photos! Besides, didn't you suspect him just now?"
Fu Yuan cleared his throat, "It's a misjudgment for a while, who made him have a strange expression when he mentioned Song Jie to the reporter in front of the camera just now, and he always feels a little weak." β
