Chapter VIII Differences in Contracting
Seeing that Vera didn't speak, Lin Yuansi continued. "I've found out that in the last month, you've been receiving harassing items on a regular basis. For example..."
"Say no more!" Vera covered her ears as if she didn't want to hear the filthy words. "You're right, Zhang Shengyi has harassed me, but the matter has passed. You know I went back after I left 1906, but I didn't get into the room, I didn't have the opportunity to contact Zhang Shengyi at all, I don't know what you want to know. ”
"You're right, you really didn't have access to him, but anything is possible until you know how he killed him." Lin Yuansi paused and continued, hoping to get more useful clues from Vera. "From my point of view, you have a motive to kill Zhang Shengyi, based on this, I need to investigate it, otherwise, I am sorry for the generous bonus given by my employer, isn't it?"
Lin Yuansi looked full of confidence and continued to speak: "According to my analysis, Zhang Shengyi keeps looking for you just to persuade you to accept the role of the female number one and shoot nude scenes. Although the salary may be lucrative and tempting, you still refuse based on your own bottom line. But Zhang Shengyi didn't know how to advance or retreat, and kept harassing you, which made you very disgusted. ”
Listening to Lin Yuansi's words, Vera's face was obviously a little embarrassed, as if her secret had been dug out.
"And you, knowing that he had bad intentions, agreed to see him on the 25th, even though it was in his private domain. Based on the previous conversation, I would like to say that in fact, it was about 1906 that day, and not only did it not make you feel uncomfortable, but on the contrary, you thought it was a good time. With no one there, you can kill him with impunity and save him from harassing you again, right? ”
After Lin Yuansi finished speaking, he stared straight at Vera, revealing a fierce eagle-like expression aimed at its prey, and his eyes revealed a striking sharpness.
"No, it's not like that!" Vera suddenly lost control of her emotions and slammed up from her seat, startling the little brother who came to refill the coffee.
Seeing that the other party reacted a little excessively, Lin Yuansi motioned for her to calm down with his eyes.
Perhaps realizing that she had lost her temper, Vera sat down in silence, her eyes revealing a deep sense of distress.
Vera listened carefully to the waiter's footsteps, and when he was far away, she lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Zhang did harass me before, but we have already negotiated this matter. On the 25th, we made an agreement that he would not continue to harass me as long as I invested 20 percent in this TV. At the same time, I can also serve as the female lead, and delete the nude scenes in the play, and I can find a stand-in to play the slightly scaled part. If you don't believe it, you can go to the company to check our contract, which we signed on the 25th, and the contract is clear, I will never lie to you. ”
Vera said it was so frank that people couldn't help but believe it, but Lin Yuansi still refused to give up.
"As far as I know, the amount of money needed to invest in TV is not a small amount, even if it is 100% or 20%, I am afraid it will not be easy to get it for a while. The role is not suitable, can't you just push it away, do you have any reason to do it? ”
Lin Yuansi still refused to let Vera go, he felt that the other party was completely harmful to Zhang Shengyi's motives.
"If you really let me say, it's nothing more than for my career and future, twenty percent is not a small amount, and I have used almost all my savings. If you want to ask me why I work so hard, in fact, as an actor, I have my own difficulties, but I also have my own ideas, I like that book very much, let me just give up, I'm very unwilling, so I want to just gamble, even if the result is unsatisfactory in the end, it's much better than regretting it for life. You may not understand what I say, but in fact, as an actor, every step you take is tantamount to gambling. ”
Vera said, showing a wry smile, she wasn't sure if Lin Yuansi could understand, and she wasn't sure if Lin Yuansi would believe her, but these words were indeed her heartfelt words.
After listening to Vera's words, Lin Yuansi was silent for a long time, and he always felt that Vera's words were half true and half false.
It stands to reason that Zhang Shengyi mailed all kinds of things before, harassed Vera, and wanted her to appear in nude scenes, and Vera did have a motive to kill the other party.
But according to Vera's words just now, the two of them reached a cooperative relationship, which means that Vera's net worth and life are tied to that TV series.
If this is the case, would anyone be stupid enough to cut off their own financial resources and kill their partners?
In this case, it will definitely lead to the suspension of cooperation, and the money invested will not be wasted.
It's really that simple.
But Lin Yuansi was still jealous, he felt that this actor would not tell all the facts so easily.
"In other words, did you go to negotiate a contract that day?" Lin Yuansi asked.
"That's right, I'm not only an actor, but I've also become a financier, holding 20 percent of the shares. I thought this would be an opportunity for me to succeed, but I didn't expect this to happen to Mr. Zhang. ”
"Do you vote for 20 percent, and Mr. Zhang is responsible for the remaining 80 percent?"
"No, I heard that Mr. Zhang is only responsible for 40 percent, and the remaining 40 percent is in charge of a gentleman surnamed Li. But because the contract had just been negotiated, we hadn't met. ”
Obviously, Lin Yuansi had a strong interest in this airborne "Mr. Li", and I don't know what kind of friendship he has with Zhang Shengyi.
"On the 25th, will the contract you signed be put back to the company for safekeeping?" If you want to confirm whether Vera's words are true or false, it is necessary to confirm the contents of the contract.
"My contract was taken home with me, and as for Mr. Zhang's, I remember that he faxed a copy back to the company, and I think the company should have a backup."
"It's a Saturday, but I have to fax it back to the company, will anyone accept it?" Lin Yuansi raised questions.
"I don't know much about this, maybe there will be employees on duty. But if you want to be sure that what I said is true or false, I can show you the contract to prove that I have no motive to kill Mr. Zhang. Vera said, her eyes full of determination, as if she had found a life-saving grass, which was completely different from the helpless and restless Vera before.
"In that case, let's make an appointment another day, it's not too early, it's time for me to leave. Besides, Sister Ding should be annoyed when she is outside. Lin Yuansi smiled, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Vera's tone was slightly anxious. "Will you send the video to the police station for me?"
"Of course, I'm a man of my word."
Hearing Lin Yuansi's words, Vera was visibly relieved. "Thank you."
Lin Yuansi didn't say anything more, left the private room, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Sister Ding waiting anxiously. "I've been waiting, Sister Ding." Lin Yuansi opened his mouth with a smile.
Sister Ding didn't say anything, glared at Lin Yuansi, and then entered the private room.
Looks like it's going to be worth a trip to Vera's company tomorrow. Lin Yuansi couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
Three days have passed since Zhang Shengyi's death. It is said that on the day of the funeral, many celebrities and high-ranking officials in the city came one after another, and the scene was not unlively, but ironically, except for his wife Liu Zhilian, who left a few tears of sadness, others only symbolically covered their eyes and noses with their hands or tissues, and wailed a few times. As for whether it is true or not, it can be imagined.
On the day of the funeral, Lin Yuansi did not attend, but only sent a few team members to the scene to express themselves, so as not to make the outside world think that the police were too cold-blooded.
The investigation into Mrs. Zhang's lover has been ongoing, but this person is like a person hidden in the dark, and people can't find it. Lin Yuansi felt that someone had deliberately blocked this person's news, and it seemed that this person was extraordinary. But although Lin Yuansi had a strong interest in this person, they could only stand still until the investigation was clear.
Chen Xi, one of the members of the group, is very concerned about investigating Vera's line, and keeps running here and there, and all kinds of information are readily available. It's just that in Lin Yuansi's opinion, Chen Xi seems to be more interested in Vera's gossip.
Lin Yuansi remembered the-for-tat confrontation of that day, although Vera had always played the role of being questioned by him, and seemed to be retreating everywhere, but now that he thought about it, Lin Yuansi felt that Vera was pushing the boat along the river, taking advantage of the situation, and did not fall behind at all.
I wanted to conduct further investigation into Vera's statement, but I didn't expect that it happened to coincide with their company's mid-year meeting and organize all the staff to go on a trip, which lasted about a week.
There was no way, this line had to come to an end for the time being.
Lin Yuansi looked at the photos of Zhang Shengyi when he died, and felt a little incredible. What would have prompted him to believe that the pill in his mouth was poison and that he had to spit it out, just out of fear?
The chance of a person being scared to death is not great, let alone a rich man in a city who has seen the world and experienced a big turmoil. A person will only be frightened by what he already has in his heart, and if he has personally experienced and verified the truth of something, then it is easier to believe it.
Maybe Zhang Shengyi experienced something before he died.
It seems necessary to pay a visit to Mrs. Zhang.
Lin Yuansi drove alone to Liu Zhilian's villa on the outskirts of the city. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, located on the top of the mountain, Lin Yuan Temple got off the car, overlooking from above, there is a sense of sight and standing on the eyes.
This sense of domineering is somewhat contrary to Mrs. Zhang's low-key connotation, and even incompatible.
Lin Yuansi came to the gate and reported his home. After a while, a middle-aged woman like a maid came to open the door to Lin Yuansi, guided him to take a seat in the hall, and asked him to stay for a while.
