Chapter 1027 The truth behind a beautiful face
The next morning, the sound of police sirens blazed in the surroundings. The entire floor where the shooting staff was living was blocked and sealed while Director Li and the rest were taken to the police station for questioning.
" Did anyone have any sort of grudges with Miss Lai?" One of the police officers asked as he looked at Director Li who was already sweating buckets of cold water. Never in his sixty years of life had he been dragged to the police station, he looked at Song Yan and the rest of the actresses before shaking his head and replying honestly, " Miss Lai always stayed outside, she hardly ever returned. After she was done with her shot, she would leave the sets, we don't even usually see her, how can there be any conflict?"
By saying this Director Li revealed two sets of information, first Lai Li was not close to anyone on the set and since she hardly stayed on the set how was it possible for anyone to develop such a deep grudge against her? It must have been someone from Lai Li's friends' group!
The police officer nodded before calling the rest of the staff, though everyone was still trembling with fear after seeing Lai Li's body they still had to go through the entire round of investigation, the one who was the most troubled was Xue Zhi Ming.
Earlier this morning he heard some noises coming from the room next to him, he wanted to see what was going on outside but because of Song Yan's warning, he remained inside his room. He was worried that he might end up getting entangled in a mess what was more, Lai Li was an opportunistic woman, and as long as she got the opportunity to ride on his popularity, Xue Zhi Ming was sure that she wouldn't leave the matter so easily.
Thus he did not visit her in the morning and thought that he would go looking for her in the morning as the two of them had a scene together. However, when he knocked on Lai Li's room he did not receive a response for a long time.
The rest of the crew was sleeping as they did not have any morning scenes, if not for Song Yan's words, he would have left Lai Li alone but something told him that there was something wrong inside Lai Li's room and thus he called the room service. He told them that one of his co-workers was not responding and wanted them to open the door of her room because he was worried something happened to her.
The hotel staff also knew that things were messy in the entertainment circle, they were afraid that something happened to Lai Li which was why they immediately went to the floor where Lai Li was staying and then opened the door but they never expected to discover such a horrendous sight.
Xue Zhi Ming who had never seen even a chicken getting butchered was the first one to faint. The sight of Lai Li's body was enough to traumatize him, he was still shivering with fright, and even Pan Delan who was sitting next to him was no different.
Even though she did not see the body of Lai Li with her own eyes, she had heard of the situation from the rest of the staff. More importantly, the officers said that Lai Li was dead before three in the morning and yet she came to look for her at four in the morning. If she was dead then who was the one who was knocking on her door?
Pan Delan was too terrified to even think about anything more, what and who was standing outside, she simply did not care about it.
She was only worried about what was going to happen to her.
Pan Delan couldn't wait to go out and tell Song Yan about her situation yet the investigation ran for a long time making it impossible for her to look for Song Yan. It was after a very long four arduous hours that they were allowed to leave. But even so, Lai Li's parents made a huge fuss saying that the incident had something to do with the shooting staff.
It was only when the police officers showed them the surveillance recording of the night which clearly showed that no one left their room last night were they able to get away from the clutches of Mother Lai who was screaming at the top of her lungs.
"It's too scary, what are we supposed to do now?" Pan Delan looked at Song Yan who was still calm despite being grilled for an hour since the latter was the only one who had a conflict with Lai Li, she was thoroughly questioned yet she remained calm till the end.
Even Xue Zhi Ming turned to look at Song Yan, he wanted to ask what she meant by those things that she said to Director Li. It was as if she knew that Lai Li was going to die but when he thought about Song Yan's position and status before throwing the matter of her killing someone in the back of his head.
" First of all let us look for another hotel," Director Li was still shivering from fright after all this was his first time seeing so much blood. Yet as the one who was in charge, he decided to act first luck sob later. Once he was back in his room, he would stop pretending to be strong. At the same time, he couldn't help but question whether or not he was cursed by something dirty, if not why was his film getting stuck in the middle each time?
Everyone agreed with Director Li's suggestion, though they were not tired, they still wanted to go and lie down on the bed.
" I have already booked a hotel," Fu Yu Sheng spoke up as he looked at Director Li who looked at him gratefully. " We can leave as long as you all are ready."
The filming crew wanted to leave as soon as possible, thus they did not even think of anything else and hurriedly agreed. At this moment all they wanted was to tuck themselves in bed and forget this horrible incident!
