Chapter 44: Wei Youfu’s Guidance
"Impossible. Who else can they find to be the protagonist besides me? This crew is very poor. Do you think they have money to hire other actors?" Ah Cheng said with certainty: "Next time I must ask Jiang Yi to come to me in person."
He seemed to be thinking of something happy, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The agent was tactful enough not to say anything else and drove Acheng away.
In fact, no one cared about Acheng's departure at the filming site. Everyone was looking at Director Jiang and Han Fei.
Director Jiang is the director, and he has the final say on how this movie should be filmed.
Although Han Fei was only a supporting role, his acting skills had already impressed everyone present.
In addition, just now when the staff and the victim's family were about to clash, it can be said that Han Fei stopped it single-handedly and helped the crew overcome a difficult time.
"Han Fei, I know what you said makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with your persistence, but it is not against principle to give in occasionally."
"This is not a question of principle." Han Fei shook his head and prepared to leave: "You will understand after a while."
Seeing Han Fei leave, the staff and Jiang Yi felt very sorry. The executive who had been scared by Han Fei even chased after Han Fei and tried to keep him.
Although Han Fei is not a star, it can be seen from everyone's attitude towards him and Acheng that the crew members respect Han Fei more.
"Now I know why he is such a good actor, but he has never been famous." The actress who plays Wei Youfu's wife looked at Han Fei with emotion: "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. His personality is too easy to offend people."
"At his age, he has such acting skills. Coupled with his persistence and character, once such an actor seizes the opportunity to prove himself, his future will soar. Someone like Wu Cheng, who barely became a fourth-tier star with the support of a company, is simply not comparable to Han Fei." Jiang Yi spoke in front of the staff after Han Fei left.
"Director, cough cough cough, please pay attention. Our drama still depends on Acheng's company." The camera director pretended not to hear what Jiang Yi said just now.
"Let's call it a day. Let's stop filming for now and take this time to discuss the script." Jiang Yi began to tidy up the messy filming location.
"Director Jiang, shouldn't we give Ah Cheng a call?"
"Why fight? I let him play the leading role because of his financial situation. It's just right that he voluntarily withdrew." Jiang Yi watched Han Fei leave the hallway and said, "Actually, I had a good candidate in mind, but it's a pity..."
…
There was still some blood on Han Fei's head and face, and he looked a little embarrassed at the moment.
As I walked out of the filming location of Flower of Evil, I heard bursts of laughter coming from across the street.
A handsome actor walked out from the filming location of Urban Secret Love, surrounded by people. They seemed to have come out specifically to watch the fun.
"Brother Zifeng, that's Han Fei. I heard that he started playing minor roles after leaving our company."
"Why bother? Isn't it better to just work behind the scenes?"
"He had just joined the crew of Flower of Evil when someone came here to cause trouble, affecting the filming of the entire show. I've met this person before, and he's not a bad person, he just got unlucky for no apparent reason."
"This is a good thing for us! In the same period, only "Flower of Evil" has a slight chance of competing with us. Now this unlucky guy has gone to harm them. I think we are destined to be the first in the same period."
Several people from the "Urban Secret Love" crew heard the noise on the street and ran out to watch. When they saw Han Fei's look at this moment, they were secretly happy.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when a drum is broken, everyone beats it. From this point of view, ghosts are more adorable.
Han Fei had experienced many such things, so many that when he heard these sarcastic words now, he felt nothing at all and even wanted to laugh.
The street lights in the old city illuminated the streets, with light and shadow interweaving. A group of people were joking and laughing under the lights, while Han Fei walked into the darkness on the corner of the street.
The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Han Fei stopped in the shadow of the old street and answered the call.
"Li Xue?"
"Han Fei, you may have accomplished a great deed this time!"
"Any progress on the human body puzzle?" Han Fei heard Li Xue's tone and thought that he must have made some progress.
"My teacher checked the original case files kept internally and found a man named Jiang Jiang among the people he investigated. This man was not the murderer of the human puzzle pattern, but he had contact with all the victims! He appeared at the door of the puzzle shop, and the surveillance camera captured the scene of Wei Youfu giving him change. He also met a drunk Gu Ye late at night and took away Gu Ye's wine bottle. He also bumped into the female anchor Zhang Lingfan outside the big shopping mall, and was scolded by Zhang Lingfan in disgust for a long time..."
"He is a homeless person from another city. He has been living in an unfinished building in the suburbs, making a living by recycling waste and picking up garbage . This person has intellectual disabilities, is silly and simple-minded, and is often bullied by other homeless people. The garbage he recycles is always stolen."
"General Jiang has a very good temper and is a very kind person. He doesn't steal or rob. He will even take the initiative to find someone in uniform if he finds something he shouldn't. However, he often confuses security guards with police officers, and was cheated by security guards out of the money he earned from picking up garbage." Li Xue spoke very quickly, not caring whether Han Fei heard it clearly or not. "The incident should have started eleven years ago. There was originally a private welfare home on North Street in the old city. The director's wallet was stolen when he was on a business trip. Although there was not much money in it, all kinds of documents were in it."
"That wallet was found by General Jiang?"
"That's right. Jiang Jiang found the wallet in the trash can. He couldn't get into the high-speed rail station, so he stayed next to the trash can until the staff from the train station came. After the dean got the wallet back, he felt that although Jiang Jiang was a little stupid, he was honest and reliable. He also wanted to help Jiang Jiang, so he arranged a cleaning job for Jiang Jiang in his welfare home."
"Unfortunately, good times don't last long. Jiang Jiang didn't work for long before he was fired because he was too untidy and always had a bad body odor. The problem is that since Jiang Jiang left, there's a child in the orphanage who always says he sees ghosts at night."
"Ghost?" Li Xue's words caught Han Fei's attention: "Can we still find a child?"
"That child is missing, but we found another child who used to live in the same room with him. The child told us something very scary." Li Xue slowed down her voice. "He and the missing child slept side by side in the bedroom. They could see each other's bed and under the bed. The missing child always said that there was a ghost hiding under the other child's bed, and it only appeared in the second half of the night when everyone was asleep."
"What you want to say is that this ghost is Jiang Jiang? " After playing Perfect Life, Han Fei's thinking can keep up with the criminal police with rich experience in solving cases: "But it's so obvious, the police must have suspected Jiang Jiang at the beginning."
"The first person the police investigated was Jiang Jiang, but it was difficult to continue the investigation."
"Why? He has an alibi?"
"Because he's dead." Li Xue sent Han Fei another picture: "This Jiang Jiang is the first victim in the refrigerator corpse case."
"Is he the homeless man killed by the three Meng brothers?"
"We have no evidence that the three Meng brothers are the murderers, but you once told me that the case of the body hidden in the refrigerator is related to the human body puzzle, so we retrieved the information about the case of the body hidden in the refrigerator, and we made a surprising discovery." Li Xue sent Han Fei the third picture. It was a photo taken in an abandoned villa. There was a strange painting under the torn quilt of the homeless man Jiang Jiang.
There is a black house hidden among the big black trees, and there are pictures of headless children around the house.
"Because of this painting, the police thought that Jiang Jiang, who had intellectual disabilities, might be a dark monster. He usually suppressed his emotions. But after hearing what you said today, I realized that these black trees, black houses, and the headless people around them just fit the clues you gave me!" Li Xue's voice began to speed up unconsciously: "He was a homeless man. He had nothing on him and had nothing worth plotting. The police believed that his murder was in line with the random killing law of the murderer, but in fact, after seeing this picture, I realized that the murderer killed the homeless Jiang Jiang in order to silence him. He may have seen the murderer committing the crime! He may have even seen something more terrifying!"
"I understand what you mean. You think Jiang Jiang contacts Wei Youfu and the others not to harm them, but to save them!" Only at this moment did Han Fei realize that the human body puzzle pattern and the corpse hidden in the refrigerator case were so closely related.
"You know what's the scariest thing?"
"What?"
"The murderer of the human puzzle pattern most likely deliberately let Jiang Jiang, who has a mental disability, rescue people. He is enjoying the pleasure of being betrayed, hated, and disliked for his kindness! Perhaps in the murderer's mind, kindness looks like Jiang Jiang, with an ugly face, a bad smell, and low intelligence." Li Xue's voice became much deeper: "Jiang Jiang has never done a bad thing. He tried to warn the victims of the human puzzle pattern with the idea of not wanting anyone to get hurt, but he was met with misunderstanding and disgust. No one except Wei Youfu was willing to get close to him who was so dirty."
"If a not-so-normal person suddenly came up to me on the street and said I might be killed, I probably wouldn't believe it. The murderer is not taking advantage of human weaknesses, but knowing that Jiang will fail, he is watching the show deliberately."
"That's right. The murderer arrogantly thought that everyone would think Jiang Jiang was a lunatic, but one person did something unexpected. That person was Wei Youfu!"
Li Xue finally got to the point: "You asked me to keep an eye on the puzzle shop before. I checked all the records. In the vicinity of the puzzle shop, besides the owner and the staff, Jiang Jiang was the person who had the most contact with Wei Youfu. Wei Youfu was willing to help Jiang Jiang, and Jiang Jiang also wanted to save him, constantly giving him hints, and finally Wei Youfu should have wavered. Wei Youfu, who often worked overtime, behaved strangely in the last few days before his death. He went to an ecological protection forest in the suburbs of Xinhu alone twice in a row."
