Card Room - 183. Chapter 250-251

【Chapter 250, Qiao Xuening】

When Yu Hanjiang decided to expand the scope of the search, he compiled Lin Yiyan’s classmates in high school and college.

She decided to take the film academy in her second year of high school. According to her parents, since she was admitted to the film academy, she and her middle school classmates have rarely seen each other. Good friends still have contacts. These two people are not currently in Binzhou City. They only meet with Lin Yiyan during the Chinese New Year every year.

The two high school classmates did not have any motives for killing, nor were they in Binzhou City, so they were obviously not related to this case.

Classmates in college are more complicated.

Lin Yiyan is a student in the Acting Department of the Film Academy. Several of her classmates have already become famous in the entertainment industry and become popular traffic stars. Everyone keeps a group for warmth. At least on the surface, the relationship between a few classmates is very harmonious. Organize parties often.

These popular classmates all publicly sent birthday wishes to Lin Yiyan on Weibo on October 29.

The names of these people are in Yu Hanjiang’s notebook, including Qiao Xuening.

Unlike Lin Yiyan, who went all the way and went smoothly after her debut, Qiao Xuening’s past few years in the entertainment circle can be said to have been a lot of twists and turns. She has been through all the troubles and bloodshed to stabilize her position today.

She has been acting in various supporting roles in various online dramas, such as maidservants, dancers, maidservants, villains… for three full years of supporting roles, no one knows the name “Qiao Xuening”, and the bitterness can be imagined. .

Thanks to Lin Yiyan’s support, her career has turned around.

That was eight years ago. At that time, Lin Yiyan was already well-known. With the full help of her agent Qi Ming, she played four different types of TV series in succession. The ratings and reviews were good, and she had more than one million Weibo fans.

Star Entertainment invested in a large-scale production of ancient costume palace fight drama. Lin Yiyan took over the role of the heroine, and other concubines needed audition. She introduced resources to her college classmate Qiao Xuening and asked Qiao Xuening to play the female number four in the play.

There are not so many scenes in the female number four, and the ending is quite sad, but fortunately the character is very distinctive. Qiao Xuening played a supporting role for several years. After tempering, her acting skills have been improved. She interprets this tragic character so beautifully, especially in the scene where she committed suicide at the end, which deceived the audience a lot of tears and made several hot searches. .

It is precisely because of this drama that Qiao Xuening is well known by the audience and the directors in the circle.

The directors found out that this young girl has good acting skills?

As a result, Qiao Xuening went from being a little transparent that no one knew to becoming a representative of the “new generation acting school” in the eyes of directors. After that, there were naturally more film appointments, good scripts continued, and the director named her to play the heroine. The popularity has risen steadily.

Unfortunately, her luck is indeed too bad.

It’s just been two years, but some scandals about her suddenly broke out online-Qiao Xuening once had a relationship after graduating from the third year of high school, and the object was a cool-looking Internet cafe boy, she wanted to chase this boy. , Playing games in the Internet cafe all night, the two took a lot of intimate photos and videos, including many indecent photos of Qiao Xuening without clothes.

It was her boyfriend who broke these videos and photos.

It is said that Qiao Xuening dumped him less than a year after he went to college. His ex-boyfriend suddenly broke these things when Qiao Xuening became popular, just for revenge.

Seeing his luo photos circulated everywhere on the Internet, Qiao Xuening’s emotions almost collapsed.

She burst into tears at the press conference, saying that when she was young, she had met people who were unsavory, her mind was pure and she liked a scumbag, and she took so many indecent photos with the scumbag. This is the last regret in her life. Thing. She not only publicly condemned the scumbag for exposing private videos, and took the scumbag to court, but also publicly apologized to fans.

Those indecent photos circulated everywhere on the Internet have a great influence on Qiao Xuening’s reputation. But she has a good sense of crisis. The matter is handled well, and fans are very sympathetic to her…

After being hit in silence for two full years, Qiao Xuening mustered up the courage to return to the entertainment industry.

After filming several TV series, her acting skills got better and better, especially the crying scene, which has almost become a benchmark in the entertainment industry, and it is easy to drive the emotions of the audience. In addition, after winning several awards, Qiao Xuening was gradually washed out.

In fact, that incident can’t be said to be her fault. It’s everyone’s freedom to shoot intimate videos in private. The man who exposed the video is the culprit. After she was washed, she became more and more low-key and treated the staff and other actors around her. They are very polite and polite, and they are also known for their professionalism when filming. It is said that she would memorize the script again and again every time before filming, and rarely forget the words in the filming.

In the filming of “Twin Flowers”, the agent suggested that she use a stand-in for the difficult dance moves, but Teacher Qu said that Qiao Xuening was very dedicated to the show, and in order to play the heroine, she also went to a one-month dance class. .

On the surface, this female star has a tenacious character, works hard, and her experience over the years is also very inspirational.

When Xiao Lou compiled the data of Star Entertainment’s celebrities, he sorted out Qiao Xuening’s data, because at that time he already knew that Qiao Xuening was the heroine of the drama “The Twins of Flowers”, and the data must be useful.

Since Xiao Lou had the foresight to organize the information, Yu Hanjiang knew Qiao Xuening’s experience very well.

Hearing Cheng Yu mentioned Qiao Xuening, Yu Hanjiang quickly came up with these materials in his mind. He and Xiao Lou looked at each other and decided to ask Qiao Xuening in person.

It was eight o’clock in the evening. Although “Twin Flowers” is a dog-blood idol drama, it is starring two popular stars, Qiao Xuening and Cheng Yu. The investors have given a lot of money, and the director’s shots are also very generous. The entire floor of the five-star hotel was directly packaged, and several famous actors lived here during filming.

Qiao Xuening’s room was at 7311, and Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to Qiao Xuening’s residence and knocked on the door.

The one who came to open the door was a young girl who should be an assistant. She was taken aback when she saw the two of them, and said, “Did the two knock on the wrong door?”

Yu Hanjiang showed the police officer ID: “The police handle the case.”

The female assistant immediately turned around and went back to the house to find an agent.

Qiao Xuening’s agent is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She looks mature and stable at the first glance. She politely nodded to Yu Hanjiang and said: “Hello police officer, I don’t know what case you are investigating, but I found it here. Are you sure you have found the wrong person?”

Yu Hanjiang asked: “Is Ms. Qiao Xuening in the room?”

The agent was stunned: “This…”

Yu Hanjiang said: “We come to her to understand some things, and hope she can cooperate.”

The agent had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite the two into the house. After all, it would be a big deal if it hindered the police from handling the case.

When the two entered the room, they happened to see Qiao Xuening wearing loose clothes, barefoot, and making a horse on the carpet next to him. Qu Wanyue was also there. After seeing Xiaolou and Yu Hanjiang, Qu Wanyue pretended not to Knowing, stood up and walked to the agent’s side and asked, “Sister Xu, what’s the matter?”

Sister Xu frowned and said, “Teacher Qu, I have troubled you today. You can go back first. I still have some things to deal with. I will find you again tomorrow.”

Qu Wanyue glanced at Xiao Lou, nodded, and turned to leave.

The agent also dismissed the assistant. After only four people were left in the house, Qiao Xuening stood up questioningly, tidyed up his clothes, put on slippers and came to Yu Hanjiang, and asked politely: “Are these two?”

Yu Hanjiang took out the police officer’s testimony and said: “Hello Miss Qiao, I am Yu Hanjiang, the captain of the Binzhou Interpol Team, and I am here to investigate a criminal case. Do you know Lin Yiyan? How is your relationship with her?”

Qiao Xuening was startled slightly: “Xiaoyan? Of course I know. We are classmates. We lived in a dormitory for four years in college. We have a good relationship. The entertainment industry is so complicated. There are a few classmates who can take care of each other. Everyone will have a much easier way.”

She looked at the agent: “Sister Xu, please pour a glass of water for the two police officers.”

The agent pouring three glasses of water politely and handing them over to Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou. Yu Hanjiang just put it on the table and didn’t intend to drink it. Qiao Xuening took a few sips. Apparently, she was sweating and a little thirsty during dancing.

Qiao Xuening stretched out his hand to the balcony and said: “Two, sit down and talk.”

Yu Hanjiang walked over and sat down on the sofa, Xiao Lou also sat with him, and took out his notebook and pen. Qiao Xuening sat across from the two of them, drank a few sips of water to moisturize his throat, and asked: “Officer Yu, you suddenly asked about Xiaoyan. Did something happen?”

Yu Hanjiang then asked: “From November 16th to 17th, where were you and what did you do in these two days?”

Qiao Xuening said: “On the 16th? I seem to be recording a variety show.” She looked up at the agent, “Sister Xu, please check it for me. I was very busy last week and I was so busy. I don’t remember the date very much. clear.”

The agent turned on the phone and checked the records carefully, and then said: “Yes, Xue Ning recorded the variety show “Dark Eyes Please Close” in the suburbs last Monday and Tuesday. The program team invited her to be a guest. I have an announcement schedule here.”

She handed her mobile phone to Yu Hanjiang and took a look and said, “At 12 noon on the 16th, I took her to the mountains and picked her up at 12 noon on the 17th. This show was recorded in the mountains in order to create an atmosphere.”

Xiao Lou was stunned and asked, “It’s dark, please close your eyes? It’s to give everyone some identification cards, police, assassins, and civilians, and then play a killing game. The assassin has to kill all the civilians to win. The police have to find out where they are. The killer in it guides the civilians to vote and banishes the killer… Is the rule like this?”

Qiao Xuening smiled and nodded: “Will you also play?”

Xiao Loudao: “I often play when I go to school.”

Qiao Xuening explained: “The first season of this show only started recording this year. In order to attract the audience, the show team invited many famous guests. Our recording is a 12-player game mode, 4 killers, 4 policemen, and 4 Civilians. Everyone lives in a tent… The director said that when it’s dark, the killer will come out to tag people, and the person who is tagged is equivalent to being killed.”

Yu Hanjiang asked: “What identity card did you draw?”

Qiao Xuening smiled bitterly: “I was drawn to the police in the first round, but unfortunately I didn’t know how to play. The villagers voted to send it out. The effect of the program was not very good. We recorded it all night and played five rounds in total. In the end, The director will select the most interesting round to edit and produce.”

Yu Hanjiang asked: “So you recorded variety shows in the mountains on the 16th to the 17th?”

Qiao Xuening nodded and said: “Yes. In order to make the show more realistic, everyone must live in a tent when recording the show. Fortunately, Sister Xu prepared me a rechargeable heater in advance, otherwise I will catch a cold.”

She paused and looked at Yu Hanjiang suspiciously: “Officer Yu, what happened? Why do you keep asking me about the 16th and 17th? There were no surprises during the recording of the program. Everyone got along well.”

Yu Hanjiang said coldly: “Ms. Lin Yiyan died in the villa of Yuehu Villa in the early morning of the 17th.”

Qiao Xuening’s face was suddenly startled, “Ah”, the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a “slap”, her eyes widened in disbelief: “What? Xiaoyan, she… she’s dead?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Yes, the time of death is between 3 am and 4 am on the 17th.”

Xiao Lou carefully observed Qiao Xuening’s face. After she heard what the Yu team said, the expression on her face was always shocked. After a while, she recovered, her lips trembled slightly, and she whispered: “Why? Maybe? She sent me a WeChat message this morning…”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Can you look at your phone?”

Qiao Xuening quickly handed the phone to Yu Hanjiang and opened the call log with Lin Yiyan: “Look, she also sent a message to me this morning, knowing that my new drama will be launched soon, she will not come to visit the class, let me Take care of yourself in the crew.”

The sending time of WeChat is indeed at nine o’clock this morning.

Qiao Xuening replied after receiving the message: “Thank you Xiaoyan, we will get together again when I finish!”

Lin Yiyan replied: “No problem, I will make your favorite Coke chicken wings at that time.”

Qiao Xuening returned a row of greedy expressions: “I’m hungry.”

Lin Yiyan said: “Let’s stop talking. I’m going to take my family out on a trip. It may be slow to reply to news these days. Just leave a message if you have something to do.”

Qiao Xuening: “Okay, have fun.”

At this point in the dialogue, there is no more text.

Yu Hanjiang flipped over. It was the daily greetings of Qiao Xuening and Lin Yiyan, and the pictures of the two girls sharing cosmetics and bags with each other. Nothing was wrong. He returned the phone to Qiao Xuening and asked, “You and Lin Yiyan have known each other for so many years. As far as you know, when she was in college and after she debuted, did she have any grudges with whom?”

Qiao Xuening was silent for a moment, his eyes flashed, and he stopped talking.

Yu Hanjiang whispered: “Miss Qiao, I hope you can tell us everything you know about Lin Yiyan.”

Qiao Xuening took a deep breath, her eyelashes trembled lightly, and she tremblingly said: “Xiao Yan is very good to me. When I was the most downhearted, I could only take in some supporting roles. My monthly income was barely enough to eat, even the rent. I can’t afford it. Xiaoyan was already very popular at that time. I found her at a classmate meeting and asked her if she could help me introduce some resources. Xiaoyan agreed at the time. I thought she was joking, but she didn’t expect her. I really did it. I was introduced to play a supporting role in a large-scale costume drama. Later I also introduced the director and screenwriter to me…”

Speaking of this, the girl in front of her eyes suddenly turned red, and her tears kept rolling in her eyes: “Back then, I was scandalized by my first love boyfriend. When netizens circulated my photos and scolded me, Xiaoyan helped me. I’ve said…giving charcoal in the snow, I always remember this love. I think she is a very kind person, how could anyone kill her?”

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, looking at each other.

It seems that Lin Yiyan’s performance-type personality plays the role of “benefactor” in front of his girlfriends to gain a sense of accomplishment. She helped this best friend very graciously, and even now, Qiao Xuening praised her.

Xiao Lou interjected softly: “Did she tell you who she has grudges with?”

Qiao Xuening wiped her eyes in embarrassment, looked away, and tried her best to keep calm and said: “I haven’t mentioned it. The content of my usual chat with her is cosmetics, clothes, perfume and so on. Both of us are busy and we don’t have much time. When I met, I wanted to go there in person for her 30th birthday this year, but it was a pity that I was shooting commercials in those few days, so I said to wait until the end of the year to meet again… I didn’t expect that she or she would be killed?”

Yu Hanjiang said, “How much do you know about her relationship history?”

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qiao Xuening’s face, and after a while, she said, “I know about her being with her agent.”

Yu Hanjiang then asked, “No other boyfriend?”

Qiao Xuening shook his head: “She never mentioned it.”

Yu Hanjiang confirmed Qiao Xuening’s confession again, and finally found that she couldn’t get more clues here, so she had to withdraw with Xiao Lou first.

Before leaving, Yu Hanjiang gave Qiao Xuening a business card and said, “Miss Qiao, regarding the murder of Lin Yiyan, if you remember any clues later, you can contact me at any time.”

Qiao Xuening took the business card and said with red eyes: “Well, Team Yu walks slowly, I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible, Xiaoyan is such a good person, but you can’t die in vain, you must bring the murderer to justice!”

【Chapter 251, New Suspect】

After leaving Qiao Xuening’s residence, Yu Hanjiang immediately called the program team of “It’s Dark, Please Close Your Eyes” to confirm.

The director said that the show was indeed shot in the mountains. In order to create a horrible atmosphere, he also chose to shoot at night. However, the safety measures of the show team were adequate, and the surroundings were surrounded by security guards, and they were sent to everyone during the shooting. With uniform down jackets and hand warmers, the stars had a good time.

The entire recording process lasted one day and one night, during which no one asked for leave. Yu Hanjiang is also coming to the list of recorded programs. Among them, only Qiao Xuening knows Lin Yiyan, and none of the other stars have interacted with Lin Yiyan.

According to the director’s description, Qiao Xuening’s performance during the recording of the show was nothing unusual. She drew two policemen, two civilians, and a killer. Since she was not very good at playing this game, she lost all four rounds and only one civilian round. Taken by the police to lie down and win.

After the recording, her agent came to pick her up and bought small gifts for the entire crew.

The director spoke highly of Qiao Xuening, and Yu Hanjiang confirmed that Qiao Xuening’s testimony was correct. Only then did he return to the crew with Xiao Lou, reunited with Lao Mo, Qu Wanyue, Long Sen and others, and explained the current situation to his teammates.

From this point of view, Cheng Yu, Qi Ming, and Qiao Xuening all had sufficient alibi.

Is there another murderer?

Xiao Lou leaned against the wall and pondered for a moment, and asked Yu Hanjiang: “Team Yu thinks Qiao Xuening’s words are credible? She has a good relationship with Lin Yiyan, and I always think she is hiding something.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “She was recording a show in the mountains that night. Many people can testify to her. It should have nothing to do with Lin Yiyan’s murder. But she did want to talk and stopped, especially when I asked who Lin Yiyan was with. When there are grudges, she dodges her eyes and answers too hurriedly, but she seems very guilty-she should know something, but she can’t say it.”

Xiao Lou looked at Qu Wanyue: “Teacher Qu, have you found anything in contact with her these past few days?”

Qu Wanyue said: “Qiao Xuening is indeed not easy. It is said that she had a relationship and broke up because of a long-distance relationship. After knowing that she became a star, her ex-boyfriend actually exploded her luo photos on the Internet to get revenge… In the end she won the lawsuit and all the photos were deleted, but this incident was a big blow to her. After she came back, she was more cautious and polite to everyone. A big star, when she talks to me, it’s almost better. My students have to be polite.”

Qu Wanyue thought about it carefully, and described it: “She gave me the feeling that she was walking on thin ice and being cautious in her words and deeds. Therefore, she may know something, but she didn’t say it because she didn’t dare to offend others.”

Xiao Lou nodded in understanding: “She may be afraid, so she dare not talk nonsense.”

Long Sen scratched his hair vigorously, and said blankly: “So it seems that the three agents we are currently in contact with, the agent, Xiao Xianrou and girlfriends, are unlikely to be murderers?”

Old Mogan smiled and said: “From the description of Team Yu, Cheng Yu left the villa at 3 o’clock, and the agent left at 3:40. The best friend was recording the show in the mountains. The car of the deceased came out at 4 o’clock in the morning and drove away. Talents are most likely to be murderers. These three do not match in terms of time.”

Liu Qiao thoughtfully stroked his chin and asked, “Will it be a two-person crime? For example, one killed Lin Yiyan, the other arranged ice cubes on the scene, and drove away Lin Yiyan’s vehicle?”

Xiao Lou looked at her and said warmly, “We have also considered this, so the agent is still in detention. His suspicion cannot be completely ruled out. After all, he had a dispute with Lin Yiyan after entering the villa. If he killed Lin Yi Yan, another person handled the corpse and drove away Lin Yiyan’s car, which also made sense. However, the possibility of Qi Ming cooperating with others to commit a crime is very low, and his feelings for Lin Yiyan are not pretentious. We are more inclined that those who entered the villa after Qi Ming killed Lin Yiyan.”

Liu Qiao gave a light cough and said, “I’m just guessing… the person who entered the villa after 3:40 should be familiar with Lin Yiyan? Otherwise, Lin Yiyan was in the middle of the night and a stranger knocked on her door. It’s impossible to drive.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “Of course, her friends in the circle, we will investigate one by one next.”

Just now, Yu Hanjiang suddenly received an anonymous text message on his mobile phone.

The text message was sent from an unfamiliar number. It was a long text: “Lin Yiyan and Zhou Yuanyuan had a grievance. Last year, when the costume super IP “Red Dust” was launched, the producer originally decided that the protagonist was Zhou Yuanyuan. Later Suddenly switched to Lin Yiyan for unknown reasons. Zhou Yuanyuan’s team was ready to sign the contract. Lin Yiyan was cut off by Lin Yiyan. It is said that Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry that she had a car accident on her way to the airport and her face was disfigured. This passage is a gossip raised by old classmates in private gatherings, and does not guarantee its authenticity.”

After quickly scanning the information in the phone, Yu Hanjiang handed the phone to Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou took it and took a closer look, and said, “Qiao Xuening should have sent this anonymous message, right?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Obviously it was her. She didn’t tell us in front of the agent just now, probably because she was afraid that her nonsense would be untrue. Therefore, after we left, she cautiously reported anonymously.”

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang admiringly: “Has Team Yu realized that Qiao Xuening didn’t dare to talk in front of her agent, so she left her business card? If we left, there would be no way to know this clue. NS.”

Yu Hanjiang said: “I do see that she is hiding something.”

Fortunately, Yu Hanjiang left his hand, and Qiao Xuening was afraid of taking responsibility, so she could only report the suspect using anonymous text messages.

Lin Yiyan snatched away the heroine with a not-so-bright way, causing Zhou Yuanyuan to get into a car accident in anger…

The point is, disfigurement.

How important is the appearance of a female star, naturally needless to say, disfigurement, this is a deep hatred!

Zhou Yuanyuan had ample reasons to act on Lin Yiyan.

She has been disfigured, and her future is bleak, and she may be frustrated, and she just wants to drag the forest and smoke into the water. At first glance, this murder case was carefully planned. The murderer and Lin Yiyan had deep grievances. Lin Yiyan took the role of Zhou Yuanyuan and caused Zhou Yuanyuan to be disfigured in the car accident.

After investigating three key witnesses, the most motivated suspect in this case finally appeared.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, “Everyone, go back to bed first. Tomorrow, I will visit this Zhou Yuanyuan with Professor Xiao to see what she says.”

The teammates went back to their rooms, and Yu Hanjiang drove home with Xiao Lou.

On the way back, Xiao Lou carefully analyzed the clues obtained in the past two days, and said: “At present, Cheng Yu and Qiao Xuening have no motives for murder. Agent Qi Ming has motives, but time evidence reduces his suspicion. Zhou Yuanyuan’s motives for killing. It is the most adequate, but not necessarily the murderer. I always feel that Lin Yiyan may have offended more than her?”

Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou and said: “Come slowly. Our current physical evidence is not enough. The source of the ice and the whereabouts of the weapon have not made progress. It is indeed difficult to find out. Tomorrow, we will take Lin Yiyan’s university Classmates and friends in the circle will check it again, and there may be new clues.”

Xiao Lou nodded and said nothing.

Investigating the case is to strip the cocoon and put together countless fragmented clues.

The murderer, could it be Zhou Yuanyuan who was disfigured in a car accident because Lin Yiyan robbed the scene?

Goodnight everybody!
