Jiang Ruan thought for a while and said: "I only saw this once yesterday when I was doing a mission. Didn't Director Ji ask us to find villagers to take over the mission?
I asked several houses at that time, and the man who opened the door for me at one of them seemed to be that man."
"This woman must have been killed by that guy. He actually killed someone and went so far away to bury the body. He definitely didn't want the villagers to find out!
Since we can't contact the outside world, why don't we tell the village chief about this matter, he must have a landline at home!" Shen Zhou suggested.
Everyone agreed and thought it was a good idea.
"No!"
"No!"
Two opposing voices sounded at the same time.
At the same time, Bai Luoluo had restored the dug area to its original state. After observing it and seeing that there was no problem, he felt relieved.
"Why not?" Everyone was puzzled.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's get out of here first."
With that said, Bai Luoluo took the lead and left the way he came.
As soon as Bai Luoluo left, the others immediately followed. After all, no one wanted to stay next to a corpse.
Because the body was discovered, everyone no longer wanted to play, so they hurriedly packed up and headed back.
Passers-by went back and everyone continued the conversation.
"Second brother, why did you say no just now? Is there any reason?" The person who asked the question was Han Zhaozhao. As for Bai Luoluo, who also said no, she simply ignored it.
"Usually a village like this is very united." Yang Su said calmly, facing everyone's gaze.
"What do you mean?" Han Zhaozhao didn't quite understand.
"I think what the second brother means is that he is afraid that the village chief will protect the murderer and will not help us call the police." Shen Zhou said.
"No way, this is murder. No matter what happens, the village chief will never protect a murderer." Jiang Ruan wondered if Yang Su was thinking too much.
Even if they are from the same village, who would cover up the other's murder just because of their relationship with the same village?
"Maybe, Teacher Yang's worry is not unreasonable." One of the VJs said.
"Do your staff know anything?" Guan Shan looked at the VJ who was speaking, and others followed suit.
"As Teacher Yang said, this village is indeed very united and very exclusive. If Director Ji hadn't spent money on it, they wouldn't have let us enter the village to record a variety show.
If we told the village chief about this, he might not call the police."
Unlike the guests, the staff have more contact with the villagers, so they will naturally know more information.
Even if they don't usually have time to interact with the villagers, they will gossip with other staff during breaks.
"Then what should we do? We can't just sit back and do nothing!" Jiang Ruan frowned slightly.
"Let's wait until we see Director Ji to discuss everything. Although we can't get in touch with the outside world, Director Ji should be able to," Yang Sudao.
"I'm afraid Director Ji has no choice. There is no signal in this deep mountain. If Director Ji wants to contact the outside world, he can only go to the village chief's house and borrow the village chief's landline." After all, the only landline is at the village chief's house.
Another VJ spoke up.
"Then we can only send people to the town to call the police!" Chen Baoer frowned slightly.
"If you don't want to alarm the villagers, this is the only way."
When everyone returned to the small building where they were temporarily staying, the staff went to call Director Ji over.
Director Ji heard that Jiang Ruan and others not only found the body, but especially when Jiang Ruan saw the scene of the murderer abandoning the body, he was shocked.
No! What he recorded was not a legal variety show, so why did this happen to him!
Director Ji felt so miserable.
"Don't worry about this. I'll ask someone to call the police. You can record the show in peace." The director thought for a moment and then said.
"Director Ji, you must be careful. Don't go to the village chief's house to borrow a phone. If the village chief wants to cover up the murderer, all of us will be in danger!" Shen Zhou reminded.
"Don't worry, I know what I know." Director Ji had no intention of going to the village chief's house to borrow a phone to call the police.
It should be said that he had no intention of calling the police now.
The show has only been recorded for two days, and there are still five days of material to be recorded.
If the police are called now, they will definitely not be able to stay in this village any longer.
It’s strange that the villagers would look down upon them.
He might even chase them away, but he didn't want problems to arise before the program he had worked so hard to prepare started airing.
After appeasing everyone, Director Ji left with two VJs who were following him.
Director Ji took people back to the place where the staff were staying, and immediately asked VJ who was following Jiang Ruan to tell what happened in detail.
Knowing that they did not reveal this matter to the villagers and restored the scene, I was relieved.
Fortunately, Bai Luoluo was smart and knew how to bury the soil back.
If the murderer who buried the body suddenly wanted to go back and take a look and found that the soil on the ground had been dug up, it would be difficult not to raise suspicion on their program team.
After all, they were the only outsiders in the village, so of course they would become the first suspects.
"Director Ji, should we send someone to call the police immediately?" The assistant director was shocked when he found out what happened, and the first thing he thought of was to call the police.
"Don't worry yet." Director Ji raised his hand and said slowly.
"It's not urgent?" What do you mean? Is it possible that Director Ji doesn't plan to call the police?
"Director Ji, what are your plans?" the assistant director asked cautiously.
Director Ji said: "Don't call the police yet. We can't let this affect the recording of the program. It won't be too late to call the police when we leave."
"This..." The assistant director hesitated.
"What are you hesitating about? If we just call the police a few days later, it doesn't mean we don't call the police. If we delay catching the murderer a few days, what impact will it have?"
Director Ji doesn’t feel like he’s at fault.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the three people present.
"I don't want anyone else to know about this matter. After leaving this door, no one is allowed to mention it again."
Director Ji glanced at the three of them with warning eyes.
As early as when Director Ji came back with the two VJs who were filming, he had already called the others out.
So there are only four of them present now, and the other staff are either in other rooms or outside the room.
"I understand, Director Ji, don't worry, we won't tell anyone else."
People under the eaves have to bow their heads.
They are just ordinary social animals, and their lives depend on the director's face. How can their thin arms twist Director Ji's thigh?
I hope the deceased doesn’t blame them, they couldn’t help themselves either.
Bai Luoluo and others who were in the small building at this time did not know that Director Ji had not sent anyone to call the police.
After Director Ji took over the matter, everyone temporarily forgot about it.
Let the police handle everything.
It was almost lunch time, and everyone was hungry, so they began to discuss preparing lunch.
Bai Luoluo said that she had something to eat, so she didn’t need to be included in lunch.
The loss of one Bai Luoluo will have little impact on others.
A few boys stayed at home to chop wood and carry water, while the girls discussed going down the mountain to pick some wild vegetables.
