Chapter 147 Mad Wolf
In the three murder cases, the murderer left two pieces of evidence, one is the blood footprints in Huang Yan's home, and the other is the figure captured by surveillance cameras near the scene before and after killing Zhu Linglong.
However, neither of these two pieces of evidence can be used as key evidence—the murderer was wearing Huang Yan’s slippers at the time, and took the slippers away after committing the crime. Headgear, no face was photographed.
Technical calculations can only conclude the possibility that Hu Ying can leave similar blood footprints from the force, height-to-weight ratio, etc., but it is impossible to say that it is Hu Ying who left the blood footprints.
Suddenly, from an evidence provider to a suspect under serious suspicion by the police, even after years of demeanor training and facial expression management training, Hu Ying couldn't maintain her demeanor at this time.
"It's inexplicable! What reason do I have to kill them? When you came to find me, you didn't even know who were involved in the game, and you didn't even know how many people there were. If I were the murderer, why would I give you the photos I took secretly? ?As long as you don’t know who the participants are and you can’t protect them, I can keep going, can’t I?”
"I'm also curious, if you were the murderer, why did you give us the photo." Ming Shu said, "From the perspective of the murderer, maybe he wants to create a positive image and clear himself of suspicion?"
Hu Ying said: "You are making an unfounded guess!"
"It is precisely because of the grounds that I am here to interrogate you." Mingshu's attitude gradually became serious, "The blood footprints and surveillance images directly point the suspicion at you."
"But I didn't..." Hu Ying made an inconspicuous but very strange pause, "But I didn't kill them!"
Mingshu stood up and took a few steps beside the interrogation table, "Just now my colleague asked you where you were when the three cases happened. Is there anyone who can prove it. You can't answer."
Hu Ying said: "I said I was at home alone!"
Mingshu shook his head, propped his hands on the edge of the table, and looked down at the lake shadow, "Alone at home, this does not constitute an alibi."
Under the bright light, the fine sweat on Hu Ying's forehead was very obvious.
Fans are keen to tout Huying's "prosperous beauty", such as skin that can be broken by blows, and facial features depicted by gods.Observing from such a close distance, Mingshu found that the shadow of the lake was indeed exquisite, but the whole person showed a sense of desolation, which was reflected in both the eyes and the condition of the skin.
Mingshu has faced countless people related to the case. Among them are the murderer, the family of the victim, the police, the informant, and the seriously injured. Disappointed, but had to fully accept all the misfortunes given by fate, and try everything to live.
Huying is a popular star, why does he feel so lonely?
"You must have made a mistake!" Sweat dripped from Hu Ying's forehead, "It was someone else who killed them! Not me! I don't even know their real identities!"
Mingshu wanted to continue asking, but suddenly he heard a beep from the headset.
"Ask him a question." Xiao Yu'an said, "Who should we ask for confirmation?"
Ming Shu paused, and his tone changed slightly, "I also want to find the murderer as soon as possible. You said that you didn't kill the three of Huang Yan, but at the same time you couldn't provide an alibi, which made me very embarrassed."
Hu Ying's shoulders and back were tense, and it could be seen that his hands were holding tightly.
"You are an entertainer, and there are many people working around you. If you think about it carefully, is there anyone who can testify for you?" Mingshu guided in a low voice: "This person is very important to you and to our police. Very important."
Hu Ying was dumbfounded, the corners of her lips were pressed tightly, and the straight lip line was trembling uncontrollably.
In the eyes of experienced detectives, his facial reactions were already a clear signal that there was such a person, but he was struggling, not knowing whether he should name this person.
Mingshu waited for a few minutes, then suddenly said: "Fengtu Group."
There was a rapid and obvious breathing sound in the interrogation room, Hu Ying stared at Ming Shu, the fear in his eyes was obvious.
Mingshu continued: "He Yang."
Hu Ying said in disbelief: "You..."
"Is this the person you were thinking of just now?" Mingshu said, "Can he testify for you?"
Hu Ying shook his head, "No, you made a mistake."
"Let me remind you again, I am the one who least wants to catch the wrong person." Mingshu's voice was a bit ruthless, "It is also I who most want to solve the case as soon as possible! Now that many evidences point to you, I have to pay attention Put it on you. If you are not the murderer, I must get a convincing evidence!"
The feeling of desolation in Hu Ying's eyes seemed to turn into anger and despair in an instant.
Ming Shu asked sharply, "What's your relationship with He Yang?"
Hu Ying took a breath, "You all know?"
Mingshu repeated: "Answer me, what is your relationship with He Yang?"
The interrogation room was filled with the sound of breathing.Next door, Xiao Yu'an was staring at the monitor with folded arms.
"It was Mr. He who gave me the resources..." Hu Ying lowered her head, her voice became softer and softer, "I entered this industry at the age of 19, and it has been, it has been 6 years, and I can't afford it anymore. I followed, followed Mr. He, he helped me get the resources."
Fang Yuanhang thought to himself, it turns out that he is really a support.
It was not easy for the crime team to find out that Huying was related to Fengtu Group and He Yang.After Huying became popular, although the number of black fans and fans skyrocketed, and malicious insults flooded the sky, they were all complaining that his acting skills were not as good as the marketing hype, or mocking his team for buying hot searches all day long.No marketing account or paparazzi broke the news that he was adopted.When the director of "Red Dust and the Rivers and Lakes" was interviewed, he also publicly stated that he was moved by Hu Ying's appearance and aura, and felt that Hu Ying was a malleable talent. fits the character best.
That director is quite prestigious in the industry, and his affirmation has eliminated many controversies for Huying.
But now it seems that it is just another "money can turn ghosts".
In the entertainment industry, celebrities are reported to have a "close relationship" with a certain boss, but money and power make even the most famous paparazzi pretend to be deaf.
He Shi undoubtedly has this kind of ability.
Therefore, Hu Ying can still maintain the image of a "noble and pure" male god in front of fans.
"The resource you got is "Red Dust and Rivers and Lakes"?" Ming Shu asked, "When did you follow He Yang?"
Hu Ying asked: "Can you not announce the matter between me and Mr. He?"
"I'm not a reporter. I inquired about your so-called 'privacy' to solve the case." Mingshu said, "Answer my question, when did you follow He Yang?"
"Last year." Hu Ying squeezed her arm hard, "Before filming "Red Dust and Rivers and Lakes". I needed money, a lot of money, and if I couldn't get money, my sister wouldn't be able to live..."
Ming Shu is not interested in the artist's difficulties, nor is he interested in learning gossip, "After you became popular, you rejected the manager's arrangement many times and disappeared from time to time. Is it also because of He Yang?"
Hu Ying nodded slowly, "Mr. He sometimes asks me to go to his place. He has assured me that as long as I am obedient, there will be a steady stream of resources. I don't need to hype like other artists. And because we He wants me to be more low-key."
Mingshu took a deep breath, leaned back on the back of the chair, and stared at Huying for nearly 2 minutes.
Hu Ying no longer looked at him like before, and sat stiffly nervous and frightened.
"I will ask He Shi for confirmation of what you said." Ming Shu said, "Now..."
"No!" Hu Ying interrupted suddenly, his eyes were red, "I beg you, don't bother Mr. He."
Mingshu said, "I can't promise you that."
"Mr. He hates people who cause trouble for him the most." Hu Ying choked up and said, "That's why I never dared to mention him. If you bother him with such trivial things, he..."
"A small matter?" Mingshu said displeased: "Three lives, do you regard this as a 'small matter'?"
Hu Ying shook her head helplessly, "I didn't mean that, but Mr. He would really be angry."
Fang Yuanhang interjected at this moment, "You will suffer, won't you?"
Hu Ying's eyelashes are already wet.
"But I'm sorry, it's related to the case, and we can't do favoritism." Fang Yuanhang said: "At the same time, we will also protect the personal safety of you, an important witness."
Fengtu Group is a large national enterprise, and its scale is larger than that of the Chu Group that the serious crime team has come into contact with before. In the eyes of the public, the members of the He family are the richest among the rich. noble.
However, He Yang himself doesn't have any airs - but it's also possible that he didn't dare to show his airs when facing the criminal police.
He Yang is 32 years old this year. Before that, he spent many years abroad assisting his elder brother in developing Fengtu's overseas affairs. He returned to China three years ago to take over the family's new energy business.
This person has a dignified appearance, his gestures are quite graceful, and he has a non-aggressive smile on his face.
But Mingshu can tell at a glance that this smile is very fake.
When asked about his relationship with Hu Ying, He Yang readily admitted: "Yes, there is indeed the kind of relationship you know between me and him. He doesn't need to be filming recently, so he often lives with me."
He Yang had a private manor in the eastern suburbs of Dongye City, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The surveillance in it showed that when Huang Yan and Zhu Linglong were killed, Hu Ying was staying in the manor and had no time to commit crimes.
The three cases have now been merged, so the suspicion of Hu Ying killing Li Zhaofeng can basically be ruled out.
Hu Ying said that He Yang would be angry if he knew he was involved in the case, but He Yang was amiable from the beginning to the end, and he was very cooperative with the police's investigation and inquiries. He just smiled and said before leaving: "Can I take Hu Ying back?"
Mingshu said: "Not for the time being. The case is related to the game he participated in three years ago. He must stay and assist us in the investigation."
"Really?" He Yang didn't look unhappy, but Fang Yuanhang always felt that he was trying his best to hide his anger.
Hu Ying's fear was not without reason.
Just when Mingshu was focusing on investigating Huying, the field team had already rushed to four cities to confirm the current situation of the three game participants who were not currently in Dongye City.
Their reactions were similar to those of the other four. They all said that the only episode of the live-action werewolf killing was when Yanhuang left angrily. Nothing notable happened either.
Judging from the time when these three people left Dongye City, none of them could be the murderer.
One of the three, Wang Ben, was in charge of contacting the driver, collecting money and managing accounts.He provided the driver's contact details.After investigation, the driver has nothing to do with the case.
"None of the game participants in Dongye City matched the evidence, and the only one who matched the evidence, Hu Ying, had a sufficient alibi." Ming Shu rushed back from the outside and took off his rain-soaked coat .
It was raining continuously, although it was not heavy, it was annoying, and the wind was so strong that the umbrella could not cover the rain at all, it would be good if it could cover the head and face.
He shook his coat twice, the rain splashed all over the ground, Ming Shu said again: "Now everyone has proved that Hu Ying did not lie, the players participating in the game were indeed the 11 people in the photo - plus Hu Ying himself, That’s 12 people. Isn’t the murderer one of the 12 people?”
Xiao Yuan took Mingshu's clothes and wiped off the water with a towel, "It seems that the murderer is indeed someone else."
"Strange thing." Ming Shu sat down on the sofa, "Three years ago, there was no accident during the game. The rumors about Maoyang Village didn't match up with them, and there has been no accident recently. Why were the game participants killed? Who is it?" Targeted them? The only thing I'm glad about now is that the rest of the people are under our protection, and the murderer has no chance to do anything again."
Xiao Yu'an nodded, "It's all thanks to the clues provided by Hu Ying."
"Hu Ying, Hu Ying..." Mingshu closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then suddenly straightened up, "Hu Ying is still the most special person. At least one thing, the murderer's appearance is very similar to him."
As he said that, Mingshu's mind turned violently, "The murderer is not among the original game participants, but the player who killed the game. He was deliberately exposed to the camera and left blood trails at Huang Yan's house. If Hu Ying If there is no alibi, then Hu Ying is the number one suspect. The murderer’s goal is not the person who was killed, but Hu Ying? He wants to put the blame on Hu Ying?”
The words were hardly organized, and they blurted out the next moment they thought of them. After speaking, Mingshu felt a sense of enlightenment.
"You said just now that nothing happened in Maoyangzhai three years ago, and nothing happened recently. Why were the participants killed? Judging from the feedback from Xu Chun and Xiao Man, it was true that three years ago Nothing happened." Xiao Yu'an said: "But recently, it's not that nothing happened. It's just that this incident is different from what we thought, it's not a 'bad thing', but a 'good thing'."
Mingshu has already thought of it, "Lake Shadow is popular!"
"The competition in their circle is fierce. The important role in "Red Dust and Jianghu" was taken by Huying, and it was obtained in a not-so-dignified way. After the broadcast, Huying went from an unknown little actor to a well-respected actor. Countless people pay attention to the big star, and there are no fewer people who hate him secretly." Xiao Yuan said: "Before Huang Yan was killed, she took the initiative to turn off the camera. Your profile matches Hu Ying, but in fact, it is also similar to Hu Ying. people match."
Ming Shu thumped his palms lightly, his neck gradually sweating, "He looks good. He is an actor like Hu Ying, and his route is similar. Now he is not well-known, and he is very disgusted with Hu Ying's popularity. Maybe he once had a chance. Participated in "The Red Dust and the Rivers and Lakes", but this opportunity was snatched by Hu Ying... But there is a question, how did he know that Hu Ying participated in the real-life werewolf killing three years ago, and knew about these people..."
Ming Shu stopped suddenly, and looked at Xiao Yu'an firmly, "I understand."
"Hu Ying said that although he signed up, he was not at ease about going to a remote village with a group of strangers. After taking pictures, he sent them to his friends to deal with possible accidents." Xiao Yu'an said: "Except for the game participants and The driver, this friend of Huying's, is the only one who knows who was involved."
Ever since he learned that the police had asked He Yang for verification, Hu Ying became more and more depressed, and his mental state became worse and worse. Even if Fang Yuanhang assured him that the police would provide him with help when necessary, he turned a deaf ear to it.
"Who was the friend you mentioned last time?" Mingshu asked.
Hu Ying's reaction was half a beat slow, his eyes dimmed, "What friend?"
Mingshu said: "Your friend who sent the photo."
After being dazed for a moment, Hu Ying's eyes finally became clearer, "Does it have anything to do with him?"
Mingshu didn't have time to go around in circles, "Who is he?"
"Chi Yan." Hu Ying said, "It's my former roommate. I don't understand, what do you mean by asking him?"
Mingshu has never heard of this name, but Fang Yuanhang has some impressions, "This is also a young actor, worse than 180 lines, let's count as [-] lines, he seems to be no longer in the entertainment industry?"
Hu Ying said that she and Chi Yan signed with Fangchi almost at the same time. At first, the company intended for them to form a boy group. Although it didn't happen later, they lived in the same apartment until last year.
In Fang Chi, or in the entire entertainment circle, Chi Yan was Hu Ying's only friend. Before Hu Ying became popular, their few fans even made a CP-oriented video for them.
But after Hu Ying received "The Red Dust and the Rivers and Lakes", Chi Yan terminated the contract with Fang Chi, and his whereabouts are unknown.At that time, Hu Ying had already been taken care of by He Yang, and gradually gained considerable resources, so she moved out of the apartment arranged by the company.
When Chi Yan terminated the contract, Hu Ying was filming "The Red Dust and the Rivers and Lakes" in other places. He was very surprised when he received a call from Chi Yan. Chi Yan only told him that he was tired of the entertainment industry and didn't want to fight anymore. Back to amateurs.
At that time, Huying hadn't become popular yet, so she couldn't promise anything to Chi Yan, let alone rush back to Dongye City, so she could only comfort Chi Yan on the phone and make an appointment to meet again later.
But after that, Hu Ying hardly took any time off. Immediately after the filming of the drama, there was publicity. Finally, she had time to make an appointment with Chi Yan. Chi Yan's number had become empty.
Hu Ying never saw Chi Yan again, and when she asked the company, the company couldn't tell where Chi Yan had gone.
"This Chi Yan actually had an accident at the time." Man Lin seemed reluctant to say it, but when he was found by the serious crime team, he had to say: "He doesn't look like Hu Ying, but the overall temperament, height, They are all about the same size, and they are taking the same route. In terms of resources, his resources are better, but he was fixed at the critical point."
According to Man Lin's narration and clues obtained from other sources, Mingshu pieced together the truth about Chi Yan's termination of the contract last year——
Fang Chi, like other entertainment companies, has always had the habit of giving their stars to investors. Chi Yan and Hu Ying have been in the circle for many years, but there has been no improvement. It is related to their unwillingness to accept "hidden rules" .
The He family was set up by Hu Ying himself, and had nothing to do with Fang Chi, but Chi Yan's "gold master" was set up by Fang Chi.
Under the company's persuasion, Chi Yan finally compromised with reality, and was introduced by Fang Chi to Qi Can, the boss of Canfeng Films.
Although they are all businessmen, Qi Can can't even compare to any of He Yang's small supervisors in terms of wealth and influence. Chi Yan followed Qi Can, and instead of getting any resources, he was sent to the hospital.
In the circle, Qi Can is a well-known master of "sadism".
Chi Yan didn't want to serve Qi Can anymore, and Qi Can threatened that he would never have a bright future in the entertainment industry.
A small artist with few fans and no backer could easily be crushed to death by capital. Chi Yan was disheartened and finally chose to terminate the contract with the company.
He didn't mention all this to Hu Ying.
But at his most difficult time, Hu Ying reached the apex step by step.
The winter rains continued, and municipal construction was underway on Shanjiao West Road in Beicheng District. The drainage system was affected. The light rain also caused a lot of water, and the road was filled with the stench of sewers.
Wearing a black down jacket and dark blue jeans, and holding a black umbrella, the man hurried through the stagnant water and walked towards the convenience supermarket not far away.
He wasn't wearing wellies, and he was walking so fast that the bottom half of his jeans were almost soaked.
Every year at this time, supermarkets start to play cheerful Chinese New Year songs, every year they say "Congratulations on getting rich", but no one ever gets tired of listening to it.
Probably getting rich is the eternal pursuit of ordinary people.
Finally running into the supermarket, the man shook the water on the umbrella, lowered the brim of his peaked cap, took a basket and walked into the product area.
It was 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and there were many people in the supermarket, most of whom came to buy vegetables.After the man put a bag of clear soup hot pot base in the basket, he also walked to the fresh food area.
It's cold, and a pot of hot pot can be eaten for at least three days.
The big sisters and aunts in the fresh food area are very particular about their selection, and men can't squeeze in, so they have to stand aside and wait, because it took a lot of time.When I went to the cash register to pay in line, "Congratulations on getting rich" has been played several times.
The broadcast suddenly stopped, and the music suddenly changed.
The moment the prelude came out, the man suddenly frowned and his eyes became particularly gloomy.
That's the theme song of "Red Dust and Rivers and Lakes"!
The person in front had already paid, but the man was still standing where he was. The cashier called "the customer behind", and he came back to his senses, and put the product on the cashier with stiff movements.
The cashier may be a fan of "Red Dust and Jianghu", humming along while scanning the QR code, looking very happy.
The man's shoulders began to tremble, his hands were clenched tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
Coming out of the supermarket, the sky seemed to be cloudy again.
The man stood at the entrance of the supermarket, staring at the crowd and traffic in front of him in bewilderment, without any light in his eyes.
But if you look closely, he actually has a very handsome face.
After a while, he let out a long sigh, and rushed into the drizzle without an umbrella.
A quarter of an hour later, he stood at the door of his house with his pocket in his hand, and took a step back with his right foot.
Policemen surrounded him in front and behind him.
Mingshu sized him up and said, "Chi Yan."
