"I doubt--"
Zhou Junhao leaned close to Xiao He and whispered, "There are people in the industry involved in the sex trade."
Xiao He: ...
Well, this kind of thing might seem normal in the entertainment industry, but from a legal perspective, it's actually quite serious.
That's the situation, but now that you've said it like that, it seems like no one is shocked anymore?!
"But wasn't Wang Shaoqi already arrested?"
Xiao He asked with difficulty.
He knew Wang Shaoqi; he was indeed involved in this kind of business and was a small organizer. Now that he had been implicated by Qin Lezhang and caught red-handed by the police, the industry that Qin Lezhang's victims were involved in had already been shut down.
Why did Zhou Junhao come here to investigate?
Zhou Junhao shook his head: "No, no, no, I think there must be other people involved behind this. I suspect there is a deeper industrial chain that has not yet been discovered by others."
Xiao He thought to himself: ...If you investigate further, with my keen sense of similar traits, I can find you a whole bunch of unique ones in the industry.
Even in his past or present film crews, he could easily catch one of these guys in a few steps.
So unless it involves a murder case, Xiao He wouldn't even glance at the other person anymore. He's become numb to it and doesn't find it particularly strange.
What evidence do you have? Why don't you just tell the police?
“It’s just my suspicion right now,” Zhou Junhao said, shrugging. “I have no evidence, it’s just a feeling.”
Xiao He was speechless: "You just relied on this feeling to spend time and energy gathering information from the film crew?"
"This is my intuition that has never been wrong."
Zhou Junhao held up one finger and shook it.
Xiao He: ...
Never mind, he already knew this kid had some heroic sentiments and was overly idealistic.
This is neither a good thing nor a bad thing.
At least these bystanders have no right to laugh at the other side.
"So you came to me because of this too?" Xiao He warned, "I won't do anything for you."
No, not at all.
Zhou Junhao chuckled憨厚ly, "I don't have any evidence. I just came in to check things out. I'm not going to drag you down with me, Brother Xiao."
"I only discovered by chance during my investigation that someone wanted to harm Yu Xuezheng, but I didn't want to directly identify them, so I thought I'd tell you, Brother Xiao, and then you could privately remind Yu Xuezheng."
Zhou Junhao saw that Xiao He and Yu Xuezheng had a good chat, so he asked Xiao He to give them a few pointers, which was just right.
"Oh, so that's what it was about."
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious.
"Okay, so who was the one who did this?"
"Yu Xuezheng's agent."
"Hmm?" Xiao He was quite surprised. "Her agent?"
“I heard it with my own ears, and at that time, when the staff went up to help tidy up the clothes, they deliberately unfastened Yu Xuezheng’s safety buckle, causing one of the safety buckles to fall off when she was being hoisted backward.”
This incident is neither a major nor a minor matter. After all, Yu Xuezheng's action scenes on set were not high-risk. Even when she was suspended by wires, it was just a trajectory with backward flight. Even if an accident occurred, Yu Xuezheng would not be in mortal danger.
If it were truly the kind of thing that's suspended in the air and flying around, an accident would be truly terrifying.
So the agent's goal wasn't to kill Yu Xuezheng, but rather... to injure her? To make her leave the production?
Xiao He didn't understand what kind of grudge this was.
Aren't agents and artists bound by fate?
However, Xiao He believed that Zhou Junhao was not lying.
Do you have any evidence?
“Of course.” Zhou Junhao pulled out his “equipment” with great enthusiasm and explained seriously, “This is my livelihood.”
They, as journalists, have always spoken with "evidence."
Xiao He took the phone, listened for a moment, and nodded decisively: "Okay, I'll go and find out what's going on later."
The production team of "Cang Yue Jie" is also one of his current investments, and Xiao He will absolutely not tolerate such potential problems.
"Then I'll be going now."
Zhou Junhao said in a low voice, "Once we leave here, just pretend you don't know me."
"Um."
After saying this, Zhou Junhao peeked out and looked around, then got out of the van, went around to the other side of the parking lot, and quietly left.
After Zhou Junhao left, Lao Qi slowly walked back.
"What happened? Should we notify Manager Liu?"
"Need not."
Xiao He refused outright, "It's nothing serious, no need to trouble her."
However, considering that Lao Qi had been in the industry for so many years and might be well-informed, he asked, "Lao Qi, do you know anyone on this film crew?"
Old Qi paused for a moment, seemingly surprised by Xiao He's question. After thinking carefully for a moment, he nodded: "I know Old Liu from the security team."
“Security...” Xiao He pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Then go and catch up with him, and find out what’s been happening in this film crew lately.”
"Okay." Old Qi did not refuse.
When Xiao He returned to the film set, Xiao Chen had been waiting for him for quite a while.
"Brother Xiao."
Upon seeing Xiao He, Xiao Chen immediately approached and whispered in Xiao He's ear, "Sister Xue Zheng suspects someone, but the other party denies it and there is no other evidence to corroborate it, so the crew's current idea is to hold the wire safety officer accountable first."
This safety officer is innocent, and indeed he is quite innocent, but if you really want to hold him accountable, he is by no means entirely innocent.
After all, ensuring the safety of the wire harness was his responsibility. However, after confirming the safety of the wire harness once, the safety officer did not repeatedly check the situation. Instead, he squatted to the side and lazed around, watching Yu Xuezheng fly back and forth.
Who knew that just as filming was about to end, the director said they needed to do another take. Another staff member went up and, under the guise of adjusting Yu Xuezheng's clothes, unfastened one of her safety buckles.
The safety officer, who was lounging to the side doing nothing, was completely unaware of this situation.
Now that the incident has occurred, no one knows when Yu Xuezheng # Nоvеlight # opened the safety buckle, nor can it be confirmed that it was done intentionally by someone else. Therefore, the greatest responsibility should be placed on him.
"What about the on-site surveillance footage and the videos taken at the time?"
Xiao He asked in a low voice.
“One of the photos was taken, but you can only see the suspicious staff member helping to tidy up the clothes; you can’t see clearly what she did.”
"Is the film crew going to call the police?"
Xiao Chen shook her head: "Neither the director nor the producer agrees."
Xiao He sighed, "That's true."
The production team of "Cang Yue Jie" has just emerged from the shadow of the incident involving the second male lead and the producer gathering in a crowd. If they are now involved in a case that has been reported to the police, then their production team is really doomed.
"Let's go take a look."
Xiao He didn't plan to reveal his big move right away; he wanted to take this opportunity to see how everyone in the crew reacted.
After all, "Cang Yue Jie" was produced by multiple parties, involving several companies and capital, and the composition of the main team was also quite complex. When everyone came together, it was inevitable that they would be restless and have their own ulterior motives.
Xiao He did not intend to get involved in the internal conflicts of these people, but he would not let certain troublemakers disrupt the operation of the film crew.
Just as Xiao He reached the door, he heard Yu Xuezheng's voice: "You say you accidentally dropped it, so it's an accident? Everyone knows what the safety buckle is made of. If you dare to be stubborn again, I'll call the police."
"No, no, no! Let's talk this out, please don't call the police—"
This is Lu Weicheng's voice.
Then another unfamiliar voice said, "Xiao Yu, look at the mess this has made. Our crew really can't handle a second trending topic. Now that the culprit has been caught, let's settle this privately and not call the police."
"I'm so sorry, Sister Xuezheng. I really accidentally got your clothes caught in the safety buckle while I was tidying up. I didn't expect this to happen. Please, don't call the police. I'm willing to compensate you. I'm so sorry."
Yu Xuezheng, inside the door, and Xiao He, outside the door, both sneered at the same time.
Oh, how careless of you?
