Chapter 38: Everywhere
Lin Xiuyi took out the white gloves he carried with him from his pants pocket, and then carefully looked at the high-powered chandelier that fell to the ground.
The light is mounted on a steel beam on the roof of the studio, and no one notices it on a day-to-day basis. But if someone has ulterior motives to use this lamp to commit a crime, it will become a deadly murder weapon.
Lin Xiuyi soon saw something different on the fixing bolts on the top of the chandelier. The bolts, which were originally rusted on the surface, had a few silver glittering scratches. At first glance, it is a mark left by someone when they rotate with a wrench.
"It's really hard to prevent it from doing it so quickly, if it weren't for my quick eyes just now, the prisoner would have succeeded in front of him!"
Lin Xiuyi thought about it as he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Yuan Zhizhu's number.
"Moses Moses!"
"A very thrilling thing happened to me just now, that guy seems to have been stimulated by our behavior, and actually wants to use the chandelier falling from the sky to smash Akemi to death!
"Akemi-chan was attacked, she wasn't injured, right?" Yuan Zhizhu asked Lin Xiuyi with some unease.
"It's natural, but I'm underestimating this guy a bit! Do you know how high the chandelier is? I wouldn't want to climb up anyway. So, this time, I would like to ask you to ask the Iwate Prefectural Police to go up and take a look, and at least tell us if there are any suspects' fingerprints on it!"
Lin Xiuyi pleaded with Yuan Zhizhu, who knew that as soon as his words fell, Yuan Zhizhu also said something that he didn't expect.
"Well, I'm sorry, I just found a new threatening letter while cleaning the bath, tied to a stone and thrown in through an open window. It seems to have warned us to leave Miss Sonoji. It has a picture of when we were together last night. ”
"So the plan I proposed has worked?" Lin Xiuyi's face didn't show any nervousness at all, on the contrary, he felt very relaxed. Although the murderer in the scene just now was indeed almost successful, it also showed that things were developing smoothly as Lin Xiuyi had planned.
Because such a big thing happened all of a sudden, even if Superintendent Mizukawa was unwilling, he didn't dare to continue the adventure with the actor's statement. So after the Iwate Prefectural Police felt the scene, the studio was temporarily cordoned off by the police. The heartbroken supervisor Mizukawa finally failed to let the crew avoid the suspension of filming. In any case, without the set and studio, even if Akira Kurosawa came, he would not be able to continue shooting!
As soon as Lin Xiu waited for the Iwate Prefectural Police to take over the work at the scene, he immediately returned to everyone's temporary residence with Reina and Miki. But when they rushed home, they saw a scene that surprised everyone. I saw that Yuan Zhizhu was actually covering all the windows with black plastic sheets in his home.
"Welcome back, I really didn't expect that we were targeted by each other last night!"
"Where's the photo?" Lin Xiuyi asked Yuan Zhizhu directly.
It's so surprising that it was placed on the table. Unexpectedly, the other party started tracking much earlier than we expected.
Lin Xiuyi and the others couldn't wait to come to the table and picked up the photos that the suspect had just sent.
"Huh, wasn't that the night we went to the movies?
Reina pointed to herself in the photo and said in surprise, Akemi, who was standing on the side, didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and couldn't help but feel even more frightened.
Lin Xiu looked at these photos, and the more he looked at them, the more scared he became, this time, almost every photo had Ling Nai's figure on it. Lin Xiuyi knew that Akemi's crew trip made her and the popular idol Akemi extremely good friends. During this time, two people of similar age stayed together almost every day. It's no wonder that the suspect noticed Reina's presence.
"It's scary, the guy was sitting not far behind us when we went to the movies. Silently watching us!"
"And when we were at the ramen shop, the guy was sitting outside and pointing a camera at us. ”
After surprise after surprise, the result was deep fear. No matter where Reina and Miki have been, there is always a mysterious dark shadow following them. What's even more terrifying now is that this guy actually started hurting people.
"With all due respect, we may be in a very dangerous situation right now, and if the real suspect is not found, attacks like today's will only increase and become more and more harmful. ”
Yuan Zhizhu has already seen the photos before, and combined with the falling object incident that happened on the set today, Yuan Zhizhu expressed his worries.
"Miss Sonoji, can I ask you a question, did you offend anyone before Reina arrived?"
"Well, I don't quite understand what you mean?"
Akemi said with a strange feeling.
"For example, at work or in daily interactions, have you ever offended other people in the crew?"
"Hey, it may be a little embarrassing to say, but before Reina-chan came, my performance would indeed offend a lot of people. At that time, because of me, the crew had to work late almost every day and couldn't rest. I blamed myself, but there was nothing I could do about it. Even though people don't say anything in front of me, I can still feel some emotional dissatisfaction......"
Akemi's expression was a little gloomy as she recalled that unpleasant experience, and before she knew it, the corners of her eyes were a little moist. Lin Xiuyi casually took out a tissue and handed it to her. Then he looked at Reina again and said:
"Reina-chan, how is your life in the crew?"
"Me? I seem to be having a good time with everyone. Of course, my job is just a substitute, so naturally I don't need to show acting skills that are recognized by the supervisor like Akemi. But I'm so happy to be able to meet a friend like Akemi......"
As soon as Lin Xiu heard the diametrically opposed answers of the two, he couldn't help but feel a sense of empowerment. At this moment, he suddenly seemed to understand something, but this thought was just a flash, Lin Xiuyi picked up the photo on the table and looked at it again and again, and then began to close his eyes and recall all the clues in his mind. Suddenly, a completely new idea appeared in Lin Xiuyi's mind.
