Chapter 596



596 Crime

Wu Chunhe had been an official in Wangjin in his early years. He resigned and went to the sea. His career had not been smooth. Fortunately, he had the support of the government and set up a factory. Now, his business was doing well. His factory supported many workers and helped the government solve many jobs. He was a famous Big Shot in Wangjin.

A person like him would indeed receive many letters every year, either threatening or threatening. There were also criminals who were interested in his family property, so it was understandable for the police to want to lay a hand on him.

Wu Chunhe had been doing business for many years. He might not have been able to get to where he was today because of his dirty tricks. He had offended many people. If someone really wanted to kill him, it would be quite difficult to investigate.

He knew what was good for him, so he hired a lot of bodyguards. The security system at his company and home was also extremely strict, and there were special people to protect him when he entered or left.

Wu Chunhe himself was also very vigilant, so it would be difficult to kill him.

What’s more, since the last letter was received, the reception office of the police had not received any more letters like this. Therefore, some people in the police station believed that this was a prank. They thought that someone was deliberately wasting the police force and playing tricks on the police to make Wu Chunhe like a bird startled by the twang of a bow.

Shen xuanran was against such a view.

She raised two of her most important doubts. First, these letters were all handwritten. The handwriting was not very good, but after comparison by experts, it could be confirmed that it was written by the same person.

Such a method of committing a crime wasn’t brilliant, because once the police locked onto the suspect, it wasn’t difficult for them to get his handwriting and confirm his identity.

If it was just a prank, they would reveal such a flaw, unless the person who did it had enough of peaceful days and wanted to go to jail.

No matter how stupid or inexperienced one was, they would know that it was safer to type on the computer if they wanted to play a prank.

Secondly, the fact that these letters were sent to the police station was another suspicious point in Shen xuanran’s eyes.

Under normal circumstances, since these ‘death notices’ were for Wu Chunhe, it proved that the sender had a deep hatred for Wu Chunhe. Logically speaking, these letters should have been sent to Wu Chunhe’s home or office, or at least somewhere close to him.

By sending it to the police station, it proved that the person behind it wasn’t playing a small prank. Instead, he made the matter bigger and caused a public uproar.

At this point, the incident could no longer be treated as a prank, because it meant that the person who sent the ‘death notice’ to Wu Chunhe not only wanted to kill him, but also provoked the police. It was a very bad act.

Furthermore, after the letter was received, the police had focused on investigating the sender because it was related to Wu Chunhe. However, because it had been a long time and the people in the reception office did not take it to heart, it made the investigation extremely difficult.

After a few days of investigation, apart from digging out some people who had a grudge against Wu Chunhe and using unscrupulous means in his business, they couldn’t find out who sent the letter and how it was sent.

Some of the police still thought that it was a prank. Every year, the police would receive similar cases of people being played. However, due to Shen xuanran’s insistence, the higher-ups still appointed her as the person-in-charge of the case. She was to investigate the case and be responsible for Wu Chunhe’s safety.

Shen xuanran’s perseverance and determination were fully displayed at this moment. She carefully investigated what Wu Chunhe had done over the years and the enemies he had made. She visited or invited anyone who might kill him to the police station.

Among them, the one who caught Shen xuanran’s attention the most was a woman named Su Yi.

The person who had the biggest grudge against Wu Chunhe was probably her because there was an irreconcilable hatred between them. Her father committed suicide by hanging himself because of the huge debt he owed Wu Chunhe, and her only brother died because he had no money to treat his illness.

Her mother had overworked herself and passed away in her early thirties. She had lived to adulthood by sheer willpower.

What did not match her tragic childhood was her outstanding character.

She didn’t have any cynical complaints, nor did she have a submissive personality because her father owed a huge debt.

Su Yi’s University days were quite exciting. She had outstanding grades and was beautiful. She was the star of the school, and her tragic family incident didn’t affect her. During her university days, she was chosen as an exchange student and went to the United Kingdom to further her studies for two years before returning to China to guarantee her master’s degree. Before she could finish her studies, many well-known companies had already offered her high-paying jobs, inviting her to join their companies.

What was worth noting was that she had recently returned to Wangjin to pay her respects to her parents. If Shen xunran suspected that someone had sent a ‘death notice’ to Wu Chunhe, Su Yi was pretty sure of it, be it in terms of hatred or time.

The more she interacted with Su Yi, the more Shen xuanran felt that she was a mystery.

As the main suspect that Shen xuanran had her eyes on, Su Yi walked into Shen xuanran’s sight. The two women then officially began to take over the role in the story. They competed in intelligence and acting skills, whether in reality or in the movie.

Shen xuanran felt that Su Yi was the biggest suspect in the ‘Wu Chun and death notice’ incident. As a police officer with rich experience in solving cases, she instinctively felt that Su Yi was very dangerous. However, after interacting with Su Yi, she felt that there were still many suspicious points in this incident that she could not figure out.

Su Yi and Wu Chunhe were enemies, and she had the motive to kill Wu Chunhe. The fact that she returned to Wang Jin at this time proved that everything was too coincidental.

However, Su Yi was not a fool. Shen xunran had crossed paths with her several times and felt that she was a very smart person with a high IQ and strong self-control.

If she wanted to kill Wu Chunhe, there were many ways. It would not be good for her if she made a big fuss and got targeted by the police. She would only be in a passive position.

Once the news was leaked, Wu Chunhe would be on guard against her. The police would also strengthen Wu Chunhe’s protection, and the chances of her taking action would be much lower.

This was not a wise move. She was a smart person, so why would she do this?

The incident seemed to be shrouded in a layer of shadow. At this time, another murder case happened in Wangjin city. Someone was killed by a slit throat in a hotel. When he was found, the incident had already become a big deal. It was impossible to cover up the news. After the reporters ‘interviews, the onlookers took photos, and the television and internet were broadcasting the incident live, the impact was extremely bad.

The murderer’s methods were brutal and the Wangjin Police department’s leader was furious about it. He felt that it was too vile and asked Shen xunran to temporarily put aside the investigation of ‘Wu Chunhe’s death notice’ and focus on this case. She wanted to solve the case as soon as possible and resolve the panic that this murder had caused the public.

The story had developed to this point, and the context had been laid out bit by bit. In the later stage, the director only needed to uncover the fog bit by bit.

On the way to the film set, Huo Zhiming suddenly asked Jiang se about her thoughts on the character ‘Su Yi’. Jiang se replied, ”

he’s resentful, exceptionally smart, and has strong self-control. He looks outstanding on the surface, but he’s always been bound by hatred.

Compared to Shen xuanran’s justice and persistence, Su Yi was more unique.

She was born in a poor family and had lost her parents at a young age. This had a huge impact on her growth. After her parents passed away, she had to bear a huge debt. She hated Wu Chunhe deeply in her heart, but she did not say a word and shouldered this debt.

“She’s a very strong person, a completely different type from her father.”

Her father was deceived by Wu Chunhe and was burdened with a huge debt. Unable to bear the blow, he hung himself. Compared to such a tragic character, Su Yi’s personality was the complete opposite of his father’s.

In the script, she was in a worse situation as a child than her father, who was forced to hang himself, but she still gritted her teeth and got through it, even better than before.

As the suspect in the script, she had excellent means. She was very calm and smart as she planned to kill Wu Chunhe step by step. What her father owed others, she would pay it back with her own hands. She would also personally collect the debt from those who owed her father.

Under her young and beautiful appearance was a soul that was so complicated that it was riddled with holes, and it was very difficult to express it.

However, the more challenging it was, the more Jiang se liked it.

Huo Zhiming nodded and pointed to the distance, ”

“We’re here.”

The car stopped in front of a set that had already been cordoned off. Many reporters and fans had come because of the fame. What Tao cen had said that day had not only brought exposure to the crew, but also brought trouble.

The movie had already become popular before it was even filmed, and the existence of a large number of fans annoyed Huo Zhiming.

When the car drove over, even though it was not eye-catching, when the security guards made way for the door to open, it immediately attracted some fans and reporters who were wandering outside.

The car slowed down. Someone peeked through the car window in an attempt to spot Jiang se. The car was surrounded, and the security guards on set were pushed aside by the fans. They looked helpless.

“Sese, Sese, are you inside?”

The reporters were also desperately trying to take pictures of them. It seemed that they were not local reporters from Wang Zhou, and some foreign reporters had also rushed over at the last minute.

After all, this movie had gathered two of China’s top female stars and was too eye-catching. It was difficult to keep a low profile.

The set was originally surrounded by stainless steel railings and there was a sign at the side that forbade people unrelated to the crew from entering and leaving. However, with the main door blocked, these things were useless.

The car was stuck outside. They could not go on like this. Huo Zhiming’s assistant immediately called security to get someone to pick her up. When Jiang se alighted from the car, the fans ‘screams and enthusiasm almost pushed away the bodyguards who came to stop her.

He was obviously not used to such enthusiasm and had been pulling a long face since the car was surrounded.

Jiang se was helpless in this situation. However, it was obviously not the right time for her to show her face. Fortunately, after the assistant made the call, a large group of security personnel quickly came over. After they dispersed the fans who were crowding around, the car successfully drove into the film set. The metal fence outside was locked up again.

“It’s too terrifying.”

There were not many people who came, but they were so crowded that the stainless steel fence was deformed. This was the first time Huo Zhiming’s assistant had witnessed Jiang SE’s influence.

In the past, he had only heard rumors about Jiang se and knew that she was very popular in China. However, he had only seen how popular she was today.

Huo Zhiming’s expression was cold. However, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with Jiang se. Hence, after being angry for a while, his expression softened when the car entered the film set.

The car stopped in the middle of a road. When Jiang SE’s assistants alighted from the car, they widened their eyes and gasped in admiration.

“Amazing!”

Chen Shan covered his mouth and held back the scream that was about to come out of his mouth. He let out a long sigh.

In front of him was an entire Street, with commercial shops and buildings on both sides. Other than the lack of people, it was no different from a normal street.

This was the result of Huo Zhiming’s close to half a year of camping in Wang Zhou and keeping an eye on the production crew. This director, who had booked a cheap, ordinary restaurant for the production crew and was extremely stingy with their entry and exit. He had also signed Jiang se with 50 million and Tao cen with 70 million. This had allowed ” the suspect ” to have two top female celebrities in the cast. However, the director, who had complained that it was too expensive, had spent a lot of money to build such a Street.

Earlier, Chen Shan was still lamenting that the crew did not have to worry about investment this time. They were so rich, but why did they arrange such a small hotel and room for the actors? now, he could see the reason.

before ‘suspect’ started filming, I went to a few locations in Wang Zhou to select the location.

Huo Zhiming saw the surprised look on everyone’s faces and finally smiled a little.

In the past, he had been short of funds and could not find any investors. He could not produce films as he wished. In his previous films, there were several scenes that did not suit his taste. This time,’suspect’ had the participation of Tao cen and Jiang se, so many investors were trying their best to get a piece of the action.

Since he was no longer short of funds, Huo Zhiming had brought out the abnormal side of his character.

They had already decided on the location for the film to be shot in the early stages. When Tao cen decided to star in the role of ‘Shen xuanran’,’ the suspect ‘had already attracted a lot of attention. When the government of Wangzhou learned that Huo Zhiming was going to shoot in that area, they were more than happy to make it more convenient for him. They hoped that’ the suspect ‘would have a good impact on the tourism economy of Wangzhou after it was released.

Huo Zhiming took a long time to pick a place. He reluctantly picked one until century Galaxy contacted him in private and informed him that Jiang se wanted to participate in the filming of the movie.

Then, Oriental Cinema, which was under nie Dan’s name, naturally squeezed into the list of investors and was willing to provide sufficient funds for ‘suspect’ to film.

Since he was no longer short of money, Huo Zhiming naturally had no reason to save on this scene. He decided to go to the Wangzhou city government to allocate a piece of land and temporarily prepare to build the street that he imagined in ” the suspect ” that was extremely close to the plot.

this is a restaurant, and this is a fruit stall. he brought Jiang se around the street that was not ‘officially open’ yet.”That’s the hotel where the murder happened.”

In the plot, the hotel where the murder happened was extremely important. Huo Zhiming’s character of not allowing any carelessness was vividly displayed at this time.

The movie hadn’t started yet, but he had been paying attention to everything, from the shop signs to the details of the items placed in the hotel. That was how he had created this Street that shocked everyone.

This kind of detail and persistence in the small details made Jiang se take a deep breath and close her eyes. At this moment, when she appeared on this Street, she could easily immerse herself in the plot of the story. It was as if she could imagine how she would familiarise herself with this Street before leaving after ‘killing’ someone.
