CHAPTER XXVI

Hand tear devils

At around 8 p.m. on September 15, 2012, a bizarre murder occurred in Hengdian Town, Yangping City.

There is a bamboo forest outside the town, and at the time of the crime, a bearded director and actress were playing with a car by the bamboo forest. Hengdian Town is the largest film and television shooting base in the country, and many TV series are filmed here. The unspoken rules of the film and television industry have long been commonplace, the director parked the car by the bamboo forest, because it was hot, he opened the sunroof of the car, and then hugged the actress.

The actress struggled for a moment and said, "Director, what are you going to do?" ”

The bearded director said: "You have a bed scene, it was the devil who raped you, let's rehearse it now." ”

The actress said sternly: "Stop, don't touch me." ”

The bearded director was a little embarrassed and let the actress go.

The actress said: "Director, we are making an anti-Japanese drama, a film dedicated to the ×× anniversary of the founding of New China, but you want to subtly rule me, are you worthy of your conscience?" It's just that I was ruined by the devil in the play, why do you still want to rape me? ”

The bearded director said, "Do you want to resist Japan now?" I'm not a devil. ”

The actress said, "I'm talking about Japanese days. ”

The bearded director said: "If you are disobedient, you don't have to act in the next play, I can change the script and let you die." ”

The actress said: "Director, don't, I finally won this role, I ...... Well, just this once. ”

It was getting late, the moon was hanging over the bamboo forest, and the two of them made out in the car. The bearded director said, "You blow it on me." The actress half-pushed, half-pushed, and leaned down. Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming, the actress stopped moving, and the bearded director forced the actress's head and signaled her not to stop. Because of the possibility of being peeped at by passers-by, the car vibration is even more exciting and exciting.

At this time, there was a sound of hula, like a strong wind blowing through the bamboo forest. Something was thrown up and landed right in front of them through the sunroof of the car. By the light of the moon, they saw an upside-down corpse, head down, feet up, jumping up and down in the car.

The dead man's blood was still hot, soaking his clothes and running down his low-hanging hands.

The bearded director and actress screamed in fright and ran out of the car, the bloody corpse with a rope tied to the ankle, and the other end of the rope was tied to the top of the bamboo, because the bamboo was elastic, so the upside-down corpse would jump up and down.

The corpse's left leg was hanging from another bamboo tree not far away.

They wanted to leave immediately, but their lives were at stake, and both of them had blood dripping from their bodies, and it would be difficult to clear their innocence if they were mistaken for murderers. The bearded director protects the scene, takes pictures of the body with a camera, and asks the actress to call the police.

The police soon arrived, removed the vehicle, and conducted an inquest on the scene. At first, everyone thought that the murderer had killed someone and hung the body on the bamboo, but Director Chen of the Criminal Technology Department of the Yangping Public Security Bureau analyzed that the deceased stepped on the rope trap set on the bamboo forest path and was torn in half.

After visits and investigations, they were able to identify the deceased the next day.

The victim's name is Yang Xiaofan, an extra, 20 years old, and a kind person. Because of the domestic anti-Japanese war drama

Flooding the screen, he has to play Japanese soldiers 8 times a day. Netizens joked that 700 million devils die in Hengdian a year, and they can circle the earth twice in a row, and Hengdian has surpassed Taierzhuang to become the place where the most devils have been killed in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, but these devils are all in TV dramas.

In several villages around Hengdian, many young people work as extras.

At that time, Yang Xiaofan took a shortcut to go home for dinner, because there was still a night scene that had not been filmed, and he did not change his clothes, wearing the uniform of a Japanese soldier who was acting, carrying a prop gun, and stepped on the rope trap when he passed through the bamboo forest, and the huge elasticity of the bamboo tore him in half.

A police officer said: "Could this be an accident**? The local hunters set a trap in the woods, originally trying to trap wild boars and pheasants, but they ended up trapping people. ”

Director Chen said: "But there are no pheasants and wild boars in the vicinity, and hunters are not many now. ”

The police said: "Could it be a dog?" ”

Director Chen said: "This is a homicide case, the deceased's gun is missing, and the murderer kills and grabs the gun. ”

The police said: "It's a prop gun, although it looks no different from a real gun." ”

Director Chen said: "Report to the higher authorities immediately, and the special case team should be interested in this case." ”

In the middle of the night, the members of the special case team were urgently summoned to the conference room, Bai Jingyu was sitting on a leather chair, holding a remote control in his hand, and a domestic anti-Japanese TV series was playing on the projector. Bai Jingyu looked at it with relish, turned around and beckoned everyone to sit down, and the staff brought a few cups of tea.

Bai Jingyu devoured and said, "How long have you not watched a TV series? ”

Bao Shu said: "You didn't come to us to watch a TV series, right?!" ”

Bai Jingyu briefly introduced the case, the local police were very well prepared, in addition to the case file materials, they also sent several TV series, all of which were performed by the deceased.

Drawing the dragon said, "Boss, isn't this a waste of time? Don't you change the line, what are you doing with this? ”

Su Mei said: "I want to watch Korean dramas. ”

Professor Liang yawned, lit his pipe, and watched with a strong spirit.

At this time, a sci-fi scene suddenly appeared in this anti-Japanese drama - a Eighth Route Army punched through the devil's abdomen and tore the devil's body apart with both hands.

Everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter.

Bai Jingyu looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "The ticket has been booked, but it's 4 o'clock in the morning, don't sleep, just watch the TV series here, and then set off." ”

Hualong said: "Boss, this is too nonsense, don't bring such a torturous person, anyway, I don't look at it, I'll go to the sofa and squint for a while." ”

Su Mei said: "I'll go to put on makeup, I won't miss the flight." ”

Bao Qi said: "Sister Xiaomei, do you still wear makeup in the middle of the night?" ”

Su Mei said: "It's a film and television city, and there are many stars, so I can't embarrass our special case team." ”

The place where the crime occurred was Hengdian Town, which is a place where time and space are intertwined, the willow trees outside Tao Yuanming's gate are next to the old Shanghai Tang-style street, and the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces are adjacent to modern studios. Village women often greet celebrities in the fields, and taxi drivers sometimes pose for photos with big names.

Local leaders are well-informed and often receive international superstars, right

The arrival of the case team was a little sluggish, and he even complained that Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau was making a big fuss and should not have invited the special case team to assist in the investigation.

A leader said: "Isn't it just the death of an extra, it's a big deal to lose some money." ”

Director Chen said: "This is a serial case, the murderer killed people to snatch guns, and after snatching guns, it is time to rob banks." ”

The leader said, "That's a prop gun." ”

Director Chen said: "If it is modified, it can have the lethality of a real gun. ”

After the special case team arrived in Hengdian, they immediately visited Hengdian, and Professor Liang promised the leaders that the identity of the murderer would be found out within three days.

Hualong learned that many film and television crews in Hengdian used props and firearms that fired empty bullets in order to achieve realistic effects. These prop guns come from various studios, and most of them are real military guns that have been modified. When firing, it has the shell throwing, firing, vibration and recoil of a real gun. If modified, it can still be restored to a real gun.

Su Mei conducted an investigation on several film and television crews, and everyone no longer had any impression of the deceased Yang Xiaofan, and the extras had no lines when acting, which was difficult for people to remember. They film with stars, but they are very different from the treatment of stars. There are about 3,500 extras in Hengdian, some of whom have star dreams, and some who are just to support their families, collectively referred to as "Hengpiao" - people who drift in Hengdian. They usually bring their own small chairs to gather together, just like the migrant workers we see on the street.

The bearded director who was the first to find the body received Su Mei, and in the dressing room of the crew, he said to Su Mei: "Actually, I am an assistant director, and this person has acted in the scenes I filmed, all of them are Japanese soldiers, and they die several times a day." Earn 40 yuan for 8 hours a day, plus 5 yuan for more than an hour. He scared me to the point of impotence...... But it's worth it, I usually shoot anti-Japanese dramas, but I accidentally photographed his corpse, which is too shocking. ”

Su Mei said: "You filmed the hand-tearing devil, can you shoot less of this kind of thunderous TV series?" I threw up breakfast, lunch, and dinner. ”

The bearded director said: "In our country, this is not allowed to be filmed, and that is not allowed to be broadcast, there are too many forbidden areas, only anti-Japanese dramas are easy to pass the censorship, and we can't help it." Actually, I really want to make a horror movie, or if I see a corpse, I will shoot it as soon as I see it? Do you know why there are so few horror movies in our country? Even if there is, it is a bad movie. ”

Su Mei said: "Are you not allowed to make horror movies?" ”

The bearded director said: "Horror movies can be made, but they can't be too scary." ”

Su Mei said, "Okay, understood. Director, do you think I can make a cameo role? Playing a female spy or something......"

The bearded director said, "You're a policeman, aren't you kidding?" However, if you want to act, come to my room at night and I'll give you a lecture to see if you have the talent to act. ”

The site is very well protected, and the entrances and exits of the bamboo forest are cordoned off, and Bao Chop re-surveyed the place.

The bamboo forest path was covered with grass, and it was difficult to leave footprints, so Bao Chu lay on the ground like a police dog to observe carefully, and his mind secretly drew the murderer's escape route. He noticed that there were traces of leaves brushing on a small patch of sand in the forest, and he was so dazed that he seemed to think of something, and his face was alarmed, and Bao Qi, who had always been honest and loyal and never sweared, actually said to himself: "×! ”
