The entertainment industry is also haunted today

There are many charitable people in the circle, but most of them donate to the disaster area or the Hope Project.Those like Liu Zhangyi who often adopt and raise orphans by themselves are still a minority.So when Ming Xing heard other people's discussion, he specially kept an eye on it.

Tang Xu patted Xue Ji, whispered in his ear, "This person...does he need to pay attention?"

Xue Ji understood: "I sent Dai Qianer a message to ask, but I never heard him mention it to me before."

After Li Jiamu's accident, a memorial service was held. Although Tang Xu and Xue Ji had never cooperated with her, they also attended because of the relationship between Director Liu and Dai Qianer.

But in Tang Xu's memory, he didn't remember the so-called 'adoptive father' appearing at the memorial service.

Intuition told Tang Xu that this 'adoptive father' might not be simple.

The filming process progressed to twelve o'clock at noon, and there was a melodious bell for the end of get out of class on the campus, and the field manager distributed lunch boxes to everyone.

A few days ago, Tang Xu was rubbed on the treadmill by a fitness coach. It is said that he was preparing for the concert two months later. He even brought his assistant Ming Xing to supervise Tang Xu's diet, in case he would make trouble for himself after exercising.

Speaking of it, Ming Xing also found it strange, he followed Tang Xu and the others into the group, and knew the hard work of their filming, but after one or two months of tossing, Tang Xu's waist and abdomen were still soft, and his abdominal muscles could not be developed no matter what. .

Of course he didn't know it was because Xue Ji would take Tang Xu to open a small stove every day, and let Tang Xu pillow on his lap and rub his stomach when he was full.

While exercising and eating without restraint, it is not bad to not gain weight.

After the lunch boxes were distributed, the side dishes that Tang Xu got were almost all vegetarian dishes.

Mingxing resisted looking at his accusatory eyes, went to sit with his lunch box in his arms.

As soon as he left, Tang Xu approached Xue Ji logically, and Xue Ji knowingly gave him all the braised short ribs in his bowl, which was a skillful pampering action.

Mingxing was unaware of the small movements they were making behind his back. As soon as he opened his lunch box, he felt a small shadow cast over his head.

Mingxing raised his head and saw a childish little face smiling at him.

It's the young actor in the crew, Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin has not yet reached the stage of changing his voice, his voice is tender and crisp, and he smiles a bit shyly: "Brother, do you drink water?"

It was only then that Mingxing noticed that he was holding several bottles of mineral water in his arms.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work." Mingxing took a bottle from his arms and rubbed it on the top of his head, watching his back distributing water, feeling that he was warmed by the little sun.

He remembered hearing makeup artist Sister Liu say that Jiang Xin was adopted two years ago, that is to say, he had been growing up in an orphanage until he was ten years old.

Mingxing has a good impression of this child, probably because he and Jiang Xin have similar life experiences.

But it was the elder brother Xue Tao who took him by the hand and led him out of the orphanage.

While his thoughts were wandering, Mingxing heard the director calling Jiang Xin's name.

After distributing the mineral water, the child turned around when he heard the sound, and ran past Ming Xing happily.

Mingxing's gaze followed him and saw a man in his early 50s standing next to the director.

The man had an amiable face, Jiang Xin obediently bowed his head in front of him and said hello: "Father."

The person who came was Liu Zhangyi, the famous producer they had discussed not long ago.

Tang Xu and Xue Ji had also noticed the movement here, and they were eating their meals as usual, but they were quietly looking at Liu Zhangyi from the corner of their eyes.

Liu Zhangyi acted like a father who loves his children. He hugged Jiang Xin up. After the two talked intimately for a while, Liu Zhangyi let him go and exchanged a few words with the director while walking.

Not far away, Tang Xu vaguely heard him say, "What happened to Qu Qingqing?" '.

The director shook his head slightly: "Let me help you pay more attention. What kind of talent does that child have? Seeing that you are urging me every day, let me tell you, just the few I know, when they hear Qu Qingqing I refused, saying that the lines are not good enough, don't."

Liu Zhangyi smiled: "The child is still young, and his lines are a bit weak, but he has the spirit. I don't want to give the younger generation more opportunities to develop their future."

While speaking, the director walked up to Tang Xu and the others. Out of politeness, Tang Xu and Xue Ji put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and stood up to say hello.

The director waved at the two of them: "It's okay, you eat your food, I'm just here to introduce you, this is the producer Liu, Liu Zhangyi."

Tang Xu stood side by side with Xue Ji, exchanged glances with Liu Zhangyi, and held out his hand for a few seconds.

Liu Zhangyi glanced past the two of them, smiled amiably, and said appreciatively: "I have paid attention to both of you, and you are one of the few young people who are capable and willing to work hard. Not bad, keep going. "

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Tang Xu felt that the person in front of him made him feel uncomfortable.

After a few polite and modest words with the two juniors, Liu Zhangyi turned and left.

The moment he turned around, Tang Xu's pupils shrank slightly, and his breathing became short of breath for a moment.

When they walked away, Tang Xu stood next to Xue Ji and asked, "Did you see anything in Liu Zhangyi just now?"

Xue Ji's expression changed, and he asked back, "Did you see a ghost?"

"Well," Tang Xu nodded in response, and then described: "It should be a child, not tall, lying on his back, motionless, if he just turned around, I haven't noticed it yet."

He stretched out his hand and gestured twice, telling Xue Ji that the kid was only about fifty centimeters tall.

Xue Ji was sending messages to Dai Qian for the second time just now, so he failed to notice this scene and could only rely on Tang Xu's description to imagine out of thin air.

Tang Xu took a few more bites of food, recalling that Liu Zhangyi mentioned a "Qu Qingqing with poor script skills" when talking with the director just now, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he took out his phone and sent Director Liu a WeChat message.

[Tang Xu: Director, when you were in Yangzhou last time, you said that a producer friend wanted to introduce you to an actor. May I ask, is your friend Mr. Liu Zhangyi? 】

He asked questions very politely, making people believe that he really just came here to ask questions, rather than deliberately inquiring about information.

After all, what entertainment gossip reporters like to hear the most is when people in the circle arrange and talk about their peers in private, so that they can dig out information.

Director Liu also understands and trusts his character, and quickly replied: "Yes, have you guys met before?"

Tang Xu: "We are shooting a public welfare micro-movie. Mr. Liu is a friend of the director. We just had a chat."

After chatting with Director Liu for a few words, Tang Xu put down his phone and slowly sorted out his logic.

Liu Zhangyi, a famous producer, usually likes to do charity. He has adopted many orphans, and will use his contacts and resources to bet on the children he adopted for their development.

Li Jiamu was also adopted by him, and the "Mystery City" that made Li Jiamu a hit back then was introduced by Liu Zhangyi.

But after that, he didn't even attend the memorial service for his adopted daughter, either because he was ill or there was something wrong with their relationship.

After meeting Liu Zhangyi face to face, Tang Xu could almost rule out the first possibility.

Then there is only the second one. The relationship between Li Jiamu and Liu Zhangyi may have been deadlocked or even broken for some reason before the accident.

After sorting out his thoughts, he raised his head, ready to communicate with Xue Ji.

Coincidentally, Xue Ji also had a discussion with Dai Qianer, and when he put down his phone, he raised his eyes and caught Tang Xu's gaze, and the words he was about to say got stuck in his throat.

Tang Xu took the initiative to give in: "You speak first."

Because the nature of the matter they want to discuss is relatively serious, Xue Ji held back his smile and confessed: "There is not much progress on Dai Qianer's side."

"And I asked him if he knew Liu Zhangyi. From his answer, he should only know that Liu Zhangyi is a famous producer who recommended roles to Li Jiamu. When I told him that Liu Zhangyi was Li Jiamu's adoptive father, he said he didn't know anything about it. Li Jiamu has always told him that he is an orphan."

Tang Xu continued: "What I want to say is also related to this matter. Li Jiamu played the heroine in Director Liu's "Mystery City" and was recommended by Liu Zhangyi. Liu Zhangyi and Director Liu are friends. Some time ago I approached Director Liu and wanted to recommend a newcomer named Qu Qingqing to join "The Drama Costume", but Director Liu rejected it."

"Qu Qingqing..." The name whispered on Xue Ji's lips, and it became a little more touching for no reason, "I sent the name to Dai Qianer, and he is still cooperating with the police in investigating this matter." It should be very convenient to check a person."

Although the murderer of Li Jiamu's case appeared to have surrendered himself, the case has not yet been closed because there are still many doubtful points in the case.

Judging by the police's keen intuition and insight, the one who surrendered himself was not so much a murderer, but more like a scapegoat brought by the real murderer.

"One more thing." Xue Ji stretched out his hand to hook Tang Xu's shoulder, and gently stroked his earlobe with his cool fingertips, "It's more evil and infiltrating."

Tang Xu turned his head to look at him, with a puzzled expression on his face, thinking that what could be more sinister than murder and ghost haunting.

Xue Ji leaned over, and the distance between the two was so close that it seemed as if Tang Xu could kiss with just a little more tilt of his head.

However, Xue Ji's action was just to give Tang Xu a sense of security, in order to prevent him from being frightened after listening.

"This is a new discovery by the police - ten years ago, there was also a car mopping and killing case, which is basically consistent with the situation in Li Jiamu's case. When the murderer was arrested, he had committed suicide by taking pesticide at home." Xue Ji paused "The murderer's surname is Lu. Because he was abused by his stepfather when he was young, he also has abusive tendencies when he grows up. When the police arrived, they found several pairs of peeled-off human skins hung on hangers in the closet of his storage room. After investigation, The victims were all women who had just given birth."

As Tang Xu listened, he felt a layer of cold sweat suddenly seep from his back.

Xue Jishou slipped down and intertwined his fingers, "...the police decided to start the investigation from that case again. If there is no accident, we will know the result soon."
