Lu Wuchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Assistant Zhou, if you want to say anything or ask anything, just ask directly."
Zhou Zhiping pursed his lips: "Captain Lu, I want to ask...did Director Di commit suicide?"
Lu Wuchuan adjusted his sitting position and said: "As you can see, there is a very deep wound on the wrist of the deceased, and the blood flow is enough to be fatal. It is too early to say whether it was suicide or not, and further investigation is needed. What does Assistant Zhou think about this?
?”
"I don't think there is any reason for him to have such thoughts, but..." Zhou Zhiping took a deep breath, "Looking at him... it does look like... so, I can't say."
"You just said that there are difficulties in the preparation of the new drama. Can you tell us what happened?" Lu Wuchuan asked.
"Director Di's previous works were mostly idol romantic dramas. This time he wanted to make a suspense-themed drama. The investors were also very optimistic about the drama. The talks were going well at first, but later on, the two sides had differences over the actors.
.”
"The investors want Qin Guanyu and Bai Xianxian to play the male and female protagonists. Qin Guanyu has no problem. However, Bai Xianxian's image and temperament and the route he has taken in the past are completely inconsistent with the female lead in the new drama, and there is even a huge contrast."
Zhou Zhiping sighed helplessly, and then said: "It's fine if Bai Xianxian is not interested in this role, but she wants to use this as an opportunity for transformation. I don't know how she persuaded the investors in private, over there
We must insist on her playing the leading female role, otherwise we will withdraw funding."
"Can't we change the investor?" Duanmo asked. She thought that as long as the investor has money and is willing to pay, it will be fine.
A wry smile appeared on Zhou Zhiping's lips: "I have spent so much time and energy negotiating in the early stage. If I change to another company, I have to start over. The investment in a drama is not a small amount, especially this time with a new theme. The market
Expectation...it’s hard to say.”
Duanmo nodded clearly: "Bai Xianxian once starred in Director Di's TV series, so the two of them should have a good relationship, right? If you try to persuade her, she may not insist on it, right?"
"It's not like I haven't tried before. She didn't listen and even had trouble with Director Di twice." Zhou Zhiping sighed again.
Duanmo suddenly remembered something and asked, "I remember that Bai Xianxian seemed to have been recuperating for a long time, right?"
"Yes, her sister passed away two years ago. She suffered a big blow and took a year off to recuperate. She came back last year. She wasn't so stubborn before, and she doesn't know what's wrong now. She can't listen to anything."
Zhou Zhiping seemed to have a bad impression of Bai Xianxian, and kept frowning when he mentioned her.
"Bai Xianxian is the heroine of "I Always Secretly Like You"?" Lu Wuchuan asked Duanmo in a low voice.
Duanmo nodded: "That's her. However, I have only watched the drama she acted in. Later, there was news on the Internet that she went abroad to recuperate and took a break from the entertainment industry. When did she come back? I haven't paid attention yet, and I don't know her.
What else have you played?"
"You guys are busy with work, so you definitely don't have time to pay attention." Zhou Zhiping said, "Before "I Always Secretly Like You", Bai Xianxian was not very famous. It can be said that this drama is not only Director Di's famous work, but also made him famous.
Bai Xianxian rose from obscurity to a star that attracted public attention. After that, she took on another TV series directed by Di, and her results were also good."
"Unfortunately, her one-year recuperation period caused her acting skills to deteriorate a lot. Fortunately, with Director Di's reputation and her previous halo, the ratings of last year's online drama were pretty good. It's just that the female lead this time is really not good.
It suits her, otherwise Director Di wouldn't be so embarrassed."
Lu Wuchuan thought for a moment and asked, "Has Bai Xianxian been in contact with Director Di in recent days?"
Zhou Zhiping: "She had dinner with Director Di last Thursday, and they came back together after the meal."
Lu Wuchuan: "Go back to this villa? Spend the night here?"
"Bai Xianxian also has a villa in this park, A09." Zhou Zhiping paused and said, "I sent them back on Thursday and left. I don't know when she left."
The director, actors, and Zhou Zhiping's hesitant expression are indeed intriguing.
"What does Director Di's ex-wife do?" Lu Wuchuan did not ask Bai Xianxian any more.
"Dance teacher." Zhou Zhiping replied, "Working in the dance department of the Conservatory of Music."
"Why did they divorce?" Lu Wuchuan asked.
"Well, how should I put it..." Zhou Zhiping thought for a moment before saying, "It's probably a personality incompatibility. After all, Shu Hui, Director Di's ex-wife, is not part of the circle. The two of them spend less time together and spend more time apart.
Over time, the relationship will naturally fade away. However, as far as I know, since the divorce, they have almost no contact, Shu Hui should have nothing to do with... this matter."
"I'm just asking casually." Lu Wuchuan said nonchalantly, "I heard that Director Di doesn't have much contact with his parents, right?"
"Well, I haven't seen them. I only know that Director Di's mother has settled abroad. I don't know where my father is."
"How did you and Director Di meet?"
When this topic was mentioned, Zhou Zhiping's expression darkened.
He said that during his internship in his senior year, he worked as an editor in a magazine. Although he is also called an editor, the editor's main job is proofreading. In addition to this, he also has to share other work in the office. To put it bluntly, he is a handyman in the editorial department.
But for such a job, there are still many people vying for it. There are three interns in total, and only one is left, so he lost his job right after graduation.
One classmate said that his cousin was working on a set and met a director who was looking for an assistant, so he asked Zhou Zhiping if he wanted to give it a try. Since there was no job available anyway, he went to try, and he ended up working there until now.
At the beginning, the salary was not high. As Di Xu became more and more famous, Zhou Zhiping's income also increased. He originally came from an ordinary family, but now he has a house and a car, which he also bought for his parents in his hometown.
new house.
It can be said that everything Zhou Zhiping has now is given by Di Xu. Not only that, he has also learned a lot from Di Xu these years. The relationship between the two has long gone beyond the relationship between boss and employee, and Di Xu is a bitter rival.
For him, it was no less than losing a relative.
The more Zhou Zhiping talked, the redder his eyes became. He talked about all the good things about Di Xu, and in the end he broke down in tears.
After a long while, he sobbed and said, "Captain Lu, Officer Duan, please find out the truth and bring justice to Director Di."
Lu Wuchuan took a tissue from the coffee table and gave it to him, and comforted him: "Don't worry, even if you don't say anything, we will do our best to investigate."
Zhou Zhiping said thank you repeatedly and sniffed hard: "Captain Lu, I always feel that Director Di was killed by someone. How could a person who was fine yesterday commit suicide just because he said it?"
Lu Wuchuan looked at him and asked: "Assistant Zhou, you can't just rely on your feelings when investigating a case, you must pay attention to evidence. When you say this, are you suspicious?"
