"It is reported that the crew of "Please Love Me More" had an explosion accident at 11:23 this morning, and the leading actors of the play, Zhang Xiao and Zheng Tian, were accidentally injured, and the injury is unclear, and we will make a follow-up report......

"--Beep-" Zhong Lixing raised his hand to turn off the TV.

I raised an eyebrow and waited for him to speak.

Zhong Lixing's face is ugly, but this is also reasonable, he is the largest shareholder of Tianlan Entertainment, and Zhang Xiao and Zheng Tian are the masters of Tianlan, this kind of thing happens, it is strange that he is not in a hurry to get angry.

"This is a report from last Friday, Mr. Shen should have heard about it." Zhong Lixing put down the remote control in his hand and asked.

"Yes, I read the newspaper." Although I don't pay much attention to the news in the entertainment section of the newspaper, this incident is quite a sensation in the city, and I don't think I can even know it.

Zhong Lixing crossed his chin with his hands and looked at me and said, "Mr. Shen's reputation in this industry is well known to everyone, I don't like to go around in circles, let's just say it, I invited you here today just for this matter." I'd like to ask you to help me with this. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Mr. Zhong, I appreciate your straightforwardness, but you also know my rules, and I don't care about the police's interference." As far as I know, this incident has alarmed the police. So, I'm sorry. With that, I stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait, I know your rules. But there are always exceptions. Can you make an exception for me once. As he spoke, he pulled out a check from the inside pocket of his suit jacket and pushed it over.

I glanced down at the check and sat down with a satisfied smile: "Mr. Zhong is right, there are always exceptions to everything, maybe I can make an exception for you once." With that, I put the check away.

"It's just a deposit, if you can give me a satisfactory answer, I'll pay you a figure that will make you even more satisfied."

I smiled and stretched out my hand: "Happy cooperation!" ”

When I walked out of the Sky Blue Building, I realized that it was actually raining outside, and the weather here was really fickle. I glanced at the snuggled suit on my body and reluctantly walked into the rain. Collecting money to help people solve their worries, it's time for me to work.

Sky Blue Entertainment Company is the leading entertainment company in China, and the youth idol drama "Please Love Me More" created by Sky Blue with huge funds attracted a lot of attention before filming started, but such a devastating accident occurred less than two months after filming began.

I noticed it on the first day of the accident, with my keen sense of smell that I have been in this industry for many years. I feel like my business is coming to my door.

If you want to investigate the beginning and end of this case, the most important thing is to contact a few parties, and now in addition to Zhang Xiao and Zheng Tian who are being treated in the hospital, what I want to see most is the pyrotechnician named Li Chengyong, and my intuition tells me that he will tell me some interesting things, and my intuition has always been very accurate.

Mr. Li has been arrested by the police and will be sentenced regardless of the outcome of the investigation. So it's not easy to see him now. However, this kind of difficulty is nothing to Zhong Lixing.

To be honest, I was surprised to see Lee Sung-yong, who didn't look like a suspect about to be sentenced for causing a major accident or intentional injury. He was calm, sitting in his chair with his head bowed and looking at his clasped hands.

"Don't you want to say something?" I asked him. I heard that he hasn't said a word since he entered it, and of course, sometimes not saying a word is a kind of protection for himself. But his silence was clearly not for self-preservation.

"I can help you, if you cooperate."

He glanced up at me, and there was a slight smile on his face, but it was clearly not the kind of smile that was the joy of getting helped, his smile was one of despair and relief.

"You still don't have to bother, it's been 7 days, and you don't say a word, tsk!" The policemen who accompanied him seemed to be accustomed to Li Chengyong's appearance, and had given up prying something out of his mouth, anyway, as long as the evidence was sufficient and there was no confession, he could be sentenced.

I looked at Li Chengyong and couldn't understand why he did this, silence at this time did not do me any good. Suddenly, he slowly bent over his stomach, and I looked at him in surprise. The policeman next to him also noticed the movement here and hurriedly walked over to see him.

"Hey, are you alright?" The policeman opened the door and walked in, grabbed Li Chengyong and asked. Li Chengyong's face was pale, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he seemed to be enduring great pain. The policeman went in to help him, and he fainted before he could open his mouth to speak.

How so? I followed the police car to the hospital for rescue, and after a night of examination, the preliminary estimate was stomach cancer. It will take some time to get a diagnosis, but I don't think it's necessary anymore.

Li Chengyong was placed in a hospital ward and guarded by police. I stood in the room for a while and turned to leave.

"Retribution." I silently read these two words, these are the two words that Li Chengyong said before he fell unconscious, although he only moved his lips, but I am very sure that what he said was "retribution".

Retribution? Do you mean Zhang Xiao or Zheng Tian? The investigation is not over, but I am sure that the accident was not an accident.

Outside Zhang Xiao's hospital room, I met the police investigating the case, and although I was very reluctant to deal with the police, I still knew about this person.

"Hello, Officer Song." I held out my hand.

He looked at me, reached out and shook my hand, and said, "You're here to investigate this case?" Zhong Lixing hired you? ”

I smiled and nodded, there is nothing to hide, I have been doing this for a long time, and these policemen have probably checked my family for eight generations. Most police officers don't like a private investigator like me, but Song Yan is an exception.

"What did you find?" He pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth and didn't light it.

"Not yet." I'm telling you the truth, I haven't found anything substantial so far.

He sighed and walked to the window at the end of the corridor: "Zhang Xiao is seriously injured, with second-degree burns on his back, third-degree burns on his limbs, and a certain degree of inhalation choking. Even if she recovered, she would not be able to do this again. ”

I raised my eyebrows, I didn't expect Zhang Xiao to be so badly injured.

"Why did Li Chengyong do this?" I asked, no matter what you do, you need motivation, so what is Li Chengyong's motivation?

"People in the crew said that Zhang Xiao was very bad, especially to Li Chengyong. Many people in the crew saw Zhang Xiao scolding Li Chengyong"

"A long-standing grudge?"

"Maybe. The above explained that the case must be closed this week, and the impact of this case is very great, and I don't have time to continue to investigate, and the evidence is very sufficient. Even if he doesn't confess, he can be qualitatively sentenced. "He seemed a little helpless.

I didn't speak, Song Yan wanted me to continue to investigate, this case was by no means such a simple revenge as it seemed on the surface, there must be something hidden under these things.

Song Yan stood for a while and was called back by a phone call. I didn't go to Zhang Xiao's hospital room, and it was said that she was still in a coma, so I decided to go to see Zheng Tian first.

Pushing open Zheng Tian's hospital room, he was sitting on the hospital bed reading the script, and next to the hospital bed was his assistant peeling apples for him. He reacted immediately when he saw that I was confused for a second or two, put down the script in his hand and said with a slight smile: "It's Mr. Shen, Mr. Zhong said hello." ”

I sat on the chair brought by the assistant and looked at him with a good complexion: "How is your injury?" ”

"It's okay, it's not serious." He laughs.

"I heard that Zhang Xiao's situation is very bad?" I said it casually.

Zheng Tian's face darkened, as if he didn't want to mention her.

"I heard that Zhang Xiao and Li Chengyong don't have a very good relationship?" I asked.

"Yes, Lao Li is usually very silent, and even a little wooden. Zhang Xiao ...... again: "Zheng Tian wanted to speak and stopped.

"Zhang Xiao's temper is not very good?" Song Yan also said the same just now.

"Humph!" Zheng Tian sneered, and then said: "She is not only in a bad temper, but also has no one in her eyes. ”

"Oh? I've heard that she's very unusual to you, aren't you a couple? I asked him with a smile.

Zheng Tian frowned and asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"That's what the magazines say."

"How can gossip be taken seriously."

I nodded and stopped worrying about this question: "How is Li Chengyong's popularity in the crew?" ”

Zheng Tian thought for a while before saying: "Lao Li only joined the crew this year, he is a very silent person, but he is a good person. Whoever in the crew is in trouble and needs help, he will help. It's just that he doesn't deal with Zhang Xiao. ”

"Not right?"

"Yes, they had a fight the day before the accident. said that it was a quarrel, but it was Zhang Xiao's unilateral abuse. The woman was unforgiving. Lao Li seemed to touch her mobile phone off the table, and she didn't let go of it, and Lao Li apologized to her. Zheng Tian's brows furrowed tightly, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Xiao.

After Zheng Tian finished speaking, he hesitated and asked, "Is Lao Li really doing it on purpose?" ”

"You think it was an accident?" I asked him rhetorically.

Zheng Tian was silent for a while and said, "Lao Li seems to be a very honest person, how can he ......?"

"You're also injured, if you run a little slower, maybe you're the one lying in the intensive care ward now, don't you blame him?"

Zheng Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know if I blame him when your assumption is true, but now I don't blame him." ”

At this point, there seems to be no need to investigate the matter, it is too obvious. The two had a conflict for a long time, and Li Chengyong couldn't bear it anymore and finally broke out and wanted to put Zhang Xiao to death. A very simple case of revenge. I sat in the taxi and rubbed my temples, why did I always feel like I was missing something? What's wrong? I closed my eyes and slowly remembered the clues to the arrival of these two days.

"Sir, the Azure Mansion has arrived." The driver stopped to remind me.

I paid the fare and got out of the car and walked into the Sky Blue Building. The sense of disobedience in the whole case was very strong, but I couldn't find a breakthrough, so I had to check it again from Zhang Xiao.

Zhong Lixing and the people in the company have said hello, and I can easily transfer Zhang Xiao's information.

"This is all the information of Zhang Xiao since his debut." The staff of the archives came in with a box of materials.

I took the file bag, which looked very weighty, and the information in it was very detailed. Zhang Xiao debuted at the age of eighteen and has been 7 years now. From the obscure little transparent to the now well-known little pink, it can't be said that she doesn't work hard. Flipping through the last page, there was still one at the back, I picked it up and looked at it, raised my hand and asked the administrator, "Who is this?" ”

The administrator walked over and took a look: "This is Gu Yin, why did you put her file here." ”

"Who is Gu Yin?" I haven't heard of this name, but I guess it's an artist who appears in the file of an entertainment company.

"Oh, she is an artist with Zhang Xiao, but she is not as lucky as Zhang Xiao, and she had an accident two years after her debut."

"Accident?"

"Yes, I don't know the specifics, I heard that he died after a year of treatment in the hospital, and he was only 21 years old at a young age, but it's a pity." The administrator sighed.

"Do you still have information about Gu Yin? Can you give it to me. ”

"Yes, no one is there anyway. I'll find it for you. ”

Gu Yin's information is very small, only a few thin pages. The photo on the file is still her ten-year-old, a very beautiful girl. After I got home, I turned on the computer and typed in the word Gu Yin, but I didn't expect that there was really news about her on the Internet.

"Casting", "Accident".

Five years ago, Gu Yin participated in a casting competition for a movie, and the file recorded that she made it to the finals, and then ...... Nope. opened Zhang Xiao's file to find the corresponding time, and sure enough, Zhang Xiao also participated in the competition, and she became an instant hit with that movie.

I smiled, at least it was a breaking point. Gu Yin! I think Zhong Lixing should know about her.

"You ask Gu Yin?" Zhong Lixing seemed surprised, I will ask Gu Yin.

"Yes, I wonder what the accident was?"

Zhong Lixing seemed to fall into memory, and he was silent for a while before saying: "Back then, she participated in that casting, and in the end, only she and Zhang Xiao were left. On the day of the accident, the director announced who would play that role. ”

"Is it Gu Yin?" I asked.

"Yes, it turned out that the company people went out to celebrate in the evening and something happened. Someone poisoned her? ”

"Poisoned?"

"Yes, although the rescue was timely, it was still brain dead."

"Didn't call the police?" I asked.

"How is that possible? Of course, the police were called, and the murderer was quickly found out, and it was Gu Yin's special assistant. ”

"Poison with special assistance?" I think it's incredible.

"I couldn't believe it. At that time, the little girl had not graduated from college, and she usually had a very good relationship with Gu Yin, and she had no motive for committing the crime at all. But the police found pieces of paper stained with poison powder in her bag, and cameras in the hallway of their school's laboratory building caught her in the image. Zhong Lixing's brows furrowed tightly, and there was still a look of doubt on his face.

"What kind of poison?"

"Potassium cyanide."

Cyanide poisoning is classified as mild, moderate, and severe. Mild poisoning manifests as irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract, bitter almond taste, numbness of the lips and pharynx, followed by nausea, vomiting, tremor and other symptoms; Moderate poisoning is manifested by sigh-like breathing, the skin and mucous membranes are often bright red, and other symptoms are aggravated, and eventually death can be due to respiratory paralysis; Severe severe, can suddenly faint within 4~6 seconds, breathing difficulties, forced and paroxysmal convulsions, blood pressure drops, urine, fecal incontinence, often accompanied by cerebral edema and respiratory failure, after 2~3 minutes of breathing and heartbeat arrest, "lightning" death. For cyanide poisoners, brain tissue is often the first to be damaged.

"By the way, why did you suddenly think of her? Does Gu Yin have anything to do with this case? Zhong Lixing asked me.

I didn't answer his question, Gu Yin's poisoning case Zhang Xiao looks the most suspicious, but after all, it was five years ago, not to mention that the police also found the murderer. Farewell Zhong Lixing I went directly to the city bureau to find Song Yan, today's news has announced the results of the police investigation, this case is solved, but I know that things will not be so simple.

When I asked Song Yan to see Gu Yin's case file, he seemed surprised.

"Gu Yin? Do you want to look at the case file of the poisoning case from five years ago? Song Yan asked.

"Yes, I know it's against the rules, but I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Do you think that case has anything to do with the current case?" Song Yan asked me while calling the people in the archives to adjust the case file.

"I don't know, I just feel." I shrugged and said.

He pauses on the phone, then continues the call with a defeated expression.

Gu Yin's case file records that Gu Yin's assistant Xu Yuan put potassium cyanide into her wine glass, causing her to be poisoned. However, the amount of potassium cyanide is not very large, so Gu Yin did not die immediately, but the result is unfortunately, after rescue, he is still brain dead.
