Chapter 14: The Answer Is in a Dream
"One percent of the box office revenue," Tan Jiansheng said bluntly with a smile, "This is the condition we agreed, what I have to do is to write the script strictly according to his story, and no changes can be made." After writing, it is necessary to go through his careful review to see if there are any details that are underwritten or overwritten. Evergreen has a special affection for this story, as if, as if this story is his real experience. ”
Qu Zichong was opened up by Tan Jiansheng's words, and he suddenly woke up, could it be that Chang Qing was the relevant person in the clown's serial murder case ten years ago? Or is he a friend or relative of the victim, or is he simply the murderer?
"I'm not a murderer, believe it or not." Tan Jiansheng spread his hands as if he didn't care, and summarized with a smile.
Ran Sinian nodded, and turned his gaze to Rao Pei'er on the right, "Let's talk about Ai Qin's third dream." Ai Qin in the dream is a rabbit who is locked in a cage and has no ability to move, cannot speak, cannot move, has no freedom, and can only watch from the sidelines, which is indeed alluding to her state at the time of the crime. At the time of the crime, Ai Qin slept next to Chang Qing, the closest to the murderer, but he couldn't prevent the murder from happening, which in the final analysis, was still a kind of self-blame. Next is the female ghost in the dream, the female ghost tempts Changqing with her beauty, Changqing takes off the female ghost's clothes, layer after layer, this female ghost is wrapped layer by layer, it is you, Rao Peier. ”
"Why me?" Rao Pei'er shouted in an octave.
"Dreaming of clothes represents camouflage and disguise, the female ghost uses gorgeous clothes to hide her identity as a murderer, and after all the disguise is stripped naked, there is only a hedgehog heart, that is, the murder weapon." Ran Sinian explained unhurriedly.
Rao Pei'er raised her voice by an octave and volume, "Nonsense, let me ask you, why is the female ghost wrapped in layers of ghosts just me?" ”
"Because you have a lot of clothes," Ran Sinian hit the nail on the head and gave a direct answer, "Although you are only a third-tier starlet, you are also a little well-known, especially the recent evergreen movies have been criticized by film critics, and the sailors blame your acting skills, which has pushed you, a third-tier star, to the forefront." Although the news about you does not reach the headline position, it can be regarded as dominating the place of major entertainment websites. The news about you is nothing more than two points, first, you are a vase, you have no acting skills but have a career line, and it is rumored that you take the initiative to seek a famous director in order to get to the top of the unspoken rules; Second, you have a shopping habit of collecting clothes, shoes and designer bags, and although buying these things has made you unable to make ends meet, you have reached the point where you can't control yourself. ”
"Hmph, just because I have a lot of clothes, the female ghost in my dream is me?" Rao Pei'er rolled her eyes disdainfully, "I tell you, I'm not a murderer!" Anyone in this room can be a murderer, only me, impossible! ”
"Why? I deliberately checked your gossip news last night, you definitely have a motive to kill, first of all, the evergreen mercenary army criticized your acting skills on the Internet, making you a scapegoat for the failure of this movie; Secondly, after it was rumored on the Internet that you were under the unspoken rules of evergreen, he regretted that he wanted to eat for nothing and not pay the bill, so you ......"
Rao Pei'er stepped in front of Ran Sinian with lightning speed, like a black and red whirlwind, and raised her hand without hesitation to give Ran Sinian a crisp and loud slap, interrupting Ran Sinian's words.
The living room instantly calmed down, and only Rao Pei'er's violent and angry gasps could be heard, and she stared at the fire-breathing eyes, eager to use her eyes to cut Ran Sinian with a thousand knives.
Ran Sinian was stunned for a few seconds, squinted at the volcano-like girl in front of him, looked at the clear and burning eyes, and laughed, "I'm sorry, I didn't say anything just now." Don't worry, I'm not a police officer, and you're not an assault on a police officer. ”
Rao Pei'er's arrogance immediately dissipated a lot, and it could be seen that she was also surprised and regretted her impulsiveness and rudeness, but she still had to hold on to a stubborn little face, and she refused to admit defeat in her momentum.
After half a minute, Ai Qin exhaled heavily, breaking the calm and embarrassment in the living room, "That's it?" You've explained all three dreams, but in the end there's no conclusion at all, even if I doubt all three of them, but who is the murderer? ”
Ran Sinian heartlessly threw the slap just now out of the clouds, continued to return to the previous state, and said: "The subconscious mind is not omnipresent and omnipotent, and your subconscious is still in the process of exploring, so you can't give a clear answer. ”
"What is this?" Bai Yifeng looked at it as if it was a joke, and said proudly, "Captain Qu, my time is very precious, please find me next time, don't let me run in vain again, listen to the nonsense of this god stick." ”
Qu Zichong overwhelmed Bai Yifeng's arrogance with his fierce eyes, and said sternly: "Mr. Bai, so far, you are still one of the suspects, please cooperate with the police." Of course, you also have the right not to cooperate with us, and we also have the right to name you as the primary suspect because of your non-cooperation. The three dreams explained by Si Nian are not useless, at least, we now know a key point in the whole case, that is, the fact that the story prototype of the script is actually from Chang Qing himself, and this point, when our police questioned you before, you had something to hide. ”
Ai Qin lowered her head and retorted in a low voice, "What does this kind of thing have to do with the murder?" I thought, there's no need to tell you police everything, you didn't ask, so I didn't say anything. ”
"It's a big deal!" Qu Zichong said loudly, "Chang Qing was murdered because of this movie!" Because the story of the movie is based on the serial murder that happened ten years ago! ”
The people present, including Tan Jiansheng, a man with facial paralysis, except for Qu Zichong and Ran Sinian, all opened their mouths into an O-shape and held them for three seconds.
"I see, that's why Chang Qing insisted on filming this story, just to throw out the gimmick of the case ten years ago before the movie was released, and build momentum for his movie," Tan Jiansheng shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile, "It backfired, and before he threw out this gimmick, he hung up first." ”
Ai Qin's tears snatched out of her eyes again, she leaned forward and asked Qu Zichong eagerly: "Could it be that the murderer ten years ago killed Changqing?" Just because Chang Qing put his case ten years ago on the screen? ”
Qu Zichong sighed and nodded, "Our police are only suspicious now, and we can't make judgments yet." Now, we have to figure out where Chang Qing learned about the serial murders ten years ago. As far as I know, the impact of that case is very bad, the police have been sealed, even if a few insiders revealed some of the content of the case, it is absolutely impossible to know so many details of the case, these details are only known to our police and the murderer, but these details have all been put on the screen by Changqing. We police have seen it, and last night I checked some of the files of the case back then, and the description of the case in the file is simply a copy of the movie! ”
Bai Yifeng hesitated and asked: "Could it be, could it be that Changqing was the murderer of the case back then?" Chang Qing was exactly thirty-eight years old ten years ago, in the prime of life, and he is fully capable of killing! ”
"Impossible!" Tan Jiansheng retorted, "Chang Qing was not the murderer back then, the murderer who killed him was." The reason why the murderer killed Chang Qing was probably because Chang Qing learned the identity of the murderer! It's not good, he wants to use the murderer as a gimmick and show it to the public, so the murderer strikes first. ”
"Changqing won't be a murderer!" Ai Qin exclaimed aggrievedly, "I know Changqing best, he does like to play some clever tricks, and likes to use gimmicks to build momentum for his works, but he is definitely not a bad person, let alone kill!" ”
Qu Zichong nodded in agreement with Ai Qin's statement: "Don't worry, our police don't suspect that Chang Qing is the murderer of the serial case ten years ago, so the question now is, how did Chang Qing know all the details of the case ten years ago, and where did he come from as the prototype of this story." Finding the answer to this question is also finding a breakthrough in the detection of the case. ”
Ran Sinian let out a soft "um", attracting everyone's attention, and then said, "I know the answer to this question." ”
"You know?" Qu Zichong asked in surprise, "How do you know?" Is it your dream? ”
"That's right, it's my turn to tell me about the dream I had last night, and the answer is in my dream."
Everyone's curiosity and enthusiasm were mobilized at once, and the three suspects, including Ai Qin, asked Ran Sinian what he dreamed about.
Ran Sinian smiled indifferently, motioned for everyone to listen to him quietly, and then said unhurriedly: "I had a total of five dreams last night, four of which are related to this villa and the murder. Of these four dreams, three more are recreations of the nature of daytime experiences, which means that my subconscious mind has sifted through the results of my scan of this villa during the day yesterday and extracted important clues for me. Let's start with the first one, the first dream scene is a freeze-frame picture of me standing in front of the bedside table in the guest room on the second floor of the villa, opening the drawer and pouring the contents on the ground, which is the freeze-frame scene of this dream, which made me remember the detailed objects in the bedside table and answered Mrs. Chang's question yesterday; The second dream scene is that I am in Evergreen's study, flipping through a magazine on the evergreen bookshelf, and there is an interview with the famous director Lieberthal, Lieberthal talked about the summer ten years ago, and their crew ran away from half of China to shoot movies, and Changqing was still an assistant director at that time, and he has been studying with him. Because the Qu team once briefly mentioned to me that the clown case occurred ten years ago near Yongping Street in the city's Nancheng District, and the murderer killed six victims in three months between May and July. According to this magazine interview, between May and July of that year, Chang Qing was not in the city at all, and he was only an assistant director at that time, and he was either out of town or on the way to and from other places all summer. ”
