When Yu Hanjiang decided to expand the scope of the search, he compiled Lin Yiyan's classmates in high school and college.
She decided to enter the film school in her sophomore year of high school. According to her parents, since she was admitted to the film school, she rarely saw her middle school classmates.
We are still good friends. These two are currently not in Binzhou City. They only get together with Lin Yiyan during the Chinese New Year every year.
These two high school classmates had no motive for the murder and were not in Binzhou City. They obviously had little to do with this case.
My classmates in college are more complicated.
Lin Yiyan is a student in the acting department of the Film Academy. Several of his classmates have already made a name for themselves in the entertainment industry and have become popular celebrities. They all stick together to keep each other warm. At least on the surface, the relationship between the classmates is very harmonious.
Organize gatherings frequently.
These very popular classmates all publicly sent birthday wishes to Lin Yiyan on Weibo on October 29.
The names of these people are all in Yu Hanjiang's notebook, including Qiao Xuening.
Unlike Lin Yiyan who cheated and had smooth sailing after her debut, Qiao Xuening's past few years in the entertainment industry can be said to have been full of twists and turns. She had to go through all the obstacles and break her head to stabilize her current position.
From the beginning, she has been playing supporting roles in various online dramas, such as maid, backup dancer, maid, and villain... She has been playing supporting roles for three years, and no one knows the name "Qiao Xuening". You can imagine the bitterness in it.
.
Her career can take a turn for the better, thanks to Lin Yiyan's support.
That was eight years ago. At that time, Lin Yiyan was already well-known. With the full help of her agent Qi Ming, she starred in four TV series of different types in a row. The ratings and reviews were good, and she also had more than one million Weibo fans.
.
Starlight Entertainment invested in a large-scale costume palace drama, and Lin Yiyan took over the role of the heroine. Other concubines needed to be auditioned. She introduced resources to her college classmate Qiao Xuening, and asked Qiao Xuening to play the fourth female lead in the drama.
The fourth female lead doesn't have that many roles, and the ending is quite tragic. Fortunately, the character design is very distinctive. Qiao Xuening has played supporting roles for several years. After training, her acting skills have improved. She interprets this tragic character superbly, especially
The final suicide scene made the audience cry a lot and even made several hot searches.
It is precisely because of this play that Qiao Xuening is well known to the audience and also to directors in the industry.
The directors discovered that this young girl has good acting skills, right?
As a result, Qiao Xuening went from being a little transparent person that no one knew about to becoming a representative of the "new generation of acting" in the eyes of directors. After that, she naturally had more film appointments, good scripts continued, and directors named her to play the heroine. Her
The popularity has steadily increased since then.
Unfortunately, her luck is really bad.
She has only been popular for two years, but some scandals about her suddenly broke out on the Internet - Qiao Xuening had a relationship after graduating from her senior year of high school, with a cool-looking Internet cafe guy. She wanted to pursue this guy
, playing games in an Internet cafe all night, the two took many intimate photos and videos, including many indecent photos of Qiao Xuening without clothes.
It was her former boyfriend who exposed these videos and photos.
It is said that Qiao Xuening dumped him less than a year after he entered college. His ex-boyfriend suddenly exposed these sexual affairs when Qiao Xuening became famous, just for revenge.
Seeing her own photos circulating on the Internet, Qiao Xuening almost collapsed emotionally.
She burst into tears at the press conference, saying that when she was young, she met an unkind person, fell in love with a scumbag just because of his appearance, and took so many indecent photos with the scumbag. This was the biggest regret in her life.
Not only did she publicly condemn the dirty behavior of the scumbag for exposing his private videos, and took the scumbag to court, she also publicly apologized to her fans.
Those indecent photos circulating on the Internet have had a great impact on Qiao Xuening's reputation. But she has a good sense of crisis and handled the matter very well. Fans also sympathize with her...
After being beaten into silence for two years, Qiao Xuening regained the courage to return to the entertainment industry.
In the several TV series she filmed after that, her acting skills got better and better, especially the crying scenes, which almost became a benchmark in the entertainment industry and easily aroused the emotions of the audience. In addition, after winning several awards, Qiao Xuening was gradually cleared up.
.
In fact, that incident cannot be said to be her fault. It is everyone's freedom to shoot intimate videos in private. The man who exposed the video is the culprit. After she was cleared, she became more and more low-key in her work and treated the staff and other actors around her.
She is very polite and courteous, and she is also famous for her dedication during filming. It is said that she memorizes the script over and over again before filming, and rarely forgets her words during filming.
During the filming of "Twin Flowers" this time, her agent suggested that she use a stunt double for the difficult dance moves, but Teacher Qu said that Qiao Xuening was very dedicated to the show and even took a month of dance classes in order to play the heroine well.
.
On the surface, this female star has a tenacious personality, works hard, and her experiences over the years are also very inspiring.
When Xiao Lou was sorting out the star information of Starlight Entertainment, he also sorted out Qiao Xuening's information, because at that time he already knew that Qiao Xuening was the heroine of the drama "Twin Flowers", so the information would definitely be useful.
Because Xiao Lou had the foresight to compile the information, Yu Hanjiang knew Qiao Xuening's experience very clearly.
Hearing Cheng Yu mention Qiao Xuening, this information quickly came to Yu Hanjiang's mind. He and Xiao Lou looked at each other and decided to ask Qiao Xuening in person.
It was now eight o'clock in the evening. Although "Twin Flowers" is a bloody idol drama, the starring roles are Qiao Xuening and Cheng Yu, two popular stars. The investors gave a lot of money, and the director was very generous.
They directly booked an entire floor of the five-star hotel and let several famous actors stay here during filming.
Qiao Xuening's room was in 7311. Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou stopped by Qiao Xuening's residence and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was a young girl, probably an assistant. When she saw the two of them, she was stunned and said, "Did you two knock on the wrong door?"
Yu Hanjiang showed his police officer ID card and said, "Police are handling the case."
The female assistant immediately turned around and went back to the house to find the agent.
Qiao Xuening's agent was a middle-aged woman in her forties, who looked mature and steady when she looked at her dress. She nodded politely to Yu Hanjiang and said, "Hello, police officer, I don't know what case you are investigating, but you found it here?"
Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person?"
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Is Ms. Qiao Xuening in the room?"
The agent was stunned, "This..."
Yu Hanjiang said, "We came to find her to understand some things. We hope she can cooperate."
The agent had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite the two people into the house. After all, if they interfered with the police's handling of the case, the matter would become a big deal.
When the two walked into the room, they happened to see Qiao Xuening wearing loose clothes and bare feet, doing a horse on the carpet next to her. Qu Wanyue was actually there. After seeing Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang, Qu Wanyue pretended not to be surprised.
After knowing each other, he stood up and walked to the agent and asked, "Sister Xu, what's going on?"
Sister Xu frowned and said, "Teacher Qu, I'm sorry to trouble you today. You should go back first. I still have some things to deal with here. I will find time to see you tomorrow."
Qu Wanyue glanced at Xiao Lou, nodded, and turned to leave.
After the manager sent the assistant away and there were only four people left in the room, Qiao Xuening stood up in confusion, arranged her clothes, put on her slippers and came to Yu Hanjiang, and asked politely, "Who are these two?"
Yu Hanjiang took out the police officer's testimony and said, "Hello, Miss Qiao, I am Yu Hanjiang, the captain of the Binzhou City Criminal Police Team, and I am here to investigate a criminal case. Do you know Lin Yiyan? How is your relationship with her?"
Qiao Xuening was slightly startled, "Xiao Yan? Of course I know each other, we are classmates, and we lived in the same dormitory for four years when we were in college. We have a good relationship. The entertainment industry is so complicated, and there are a few classmates who can take care of each other.
Everyone’s journey will be much easier.”
She looked at her agent and said, "Sister Xu, please give the two police officers a glass of water."
The manager politely poured three glasses of water over and handed them to Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou. Yu Hanjiang put it on the table without intending to drink it, but Qiao Xuening took a few sips. Apparently she was sweating from dancing just now and was a little thirsty.
Qiao Xuening pointed to the balcony and said, "You two, sit down and chat."
Yu Hanjiang walked over and sat down on the sofa. Xiao Lou also sat with him and took out a notebook and pen. Qiao Xuening sat opposite the two of them, drank some water to moisten his throat, and asked, "Officer Yu, you suddenly asked
Xiao Yan, what happened?"
Yu Hanjiang then asked, "Where were you and what did you do during these two days from November 16th to 17th?"
Qiao Xuening said, "On the 16th? I seem to be recording a variety show." She raised her head and looked at her manager, "Sister Xu, please check it for me. I was very busy last week. I was so busy that I couldn't remember the date clearly.
.”
The manager opened his phone, checked the records carefully, and then said, "Yes, Xiao Xiao was in the suburbs last Monday and Tuesday recording the variety show "Please Close Your Eyes when Dark". The program team invited her to be a guest. I
Here is the announcement schedule."
She handed her phone to Yu Hanjiang, took a look at it, and said, "I sent her to the mountains at 12 noon on the 16th, and picked her up back at 12 noon on the 17th. This program was recorded in the mountains to create an atmosphere."
Xiao Lou was startled and asked, "Please close your eyes when it's dark? Just give everyone some identity cards, police, killers, civilians, and then play a killing game. The killer has to kill all the civilians to win, and the police have to find out who are among them."
The killer, guide the civilians to vote, and banish the killer... Is this the rule?"
Qiao Xuening smiled and nodded, "Can you also play?"
Xiao Lou said, “I often play when I’m at school.”
Qiao Xuening explained, "This show just started recording the first season this year. In order to attract viewers, the program team invited many famous guests. Our recording this time is a 12-person game mode, 4 killers, 4 policemen, and 4 civilians."
.Everyone lives in a tent...The director said that when it gets dark, the killer will come out and tag people, and the person who is tagged is equivalent to being killed."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "What identity card did you draw?"
Qiao Xuening said with a wry smile, "I picked a police officer in the first round. Unfortunately, I was not good at playing, so I was voted out by the villagers. The show was not very good. We recorded it all night and played five rounds in total. Finally, the director
The most interesting rounds will be selected for editing and production.”
Yu Hanjiang asked, "So you will be recording variety shows in the mountains from the 16th to the 17th?"
Qiao Xuening nodded and said, "Yes. In order to make the program more realistic, everyone has to live in a tent when recording the program. Fortunately, Sister Xu prepared a rechargeable heater for me in advance, otherwise I would have caught a cold."
She paused and looked at Yu Hanjiang in confusion, "Officer Yu, what happened? Why do you keep asking me about the situation on the 16th and 17th? There were no surprises during the recording of the show. We all got along well."
Yu Hanjiang said coldly, "Miss Lin Yiyan died in the villa of Yuehu Villa in the early morning of the 17th."
Qiao Xuening's face was suddenly startled, she said "ah", and the cup in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop". She widened her eyes in disbelief, "What? Xiaoyan...she's dead?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Yes, the time of death was between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on the 17th."
Xiao Lou carefully observed Qiao Xuening's face. After hearing Captain Yu's words, the expression on her face was always one of shock. After a moment, she came back to her senses, her lips trembled slightly, and she murmured in a low voice, "How is that possible?
?She even sent me a WeChat message this morning..."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Can I check your phone?"
Qiao Xuening quickly handed the phone to Yu Hanjiang and opened the call record with Lin Yiyan. "Look, she also sent me a message this morning to tell me that she knew that my new drama would be launched soon, so she stopped coming to visit and asked me to stay there."
The crew should take care of themselves."
The sending time of WeChat is indeed 9 o'clock this morning.
After receiving the message, Qiao Xuening replied, "Thank you Xiaoyan, let's get together after I finish the shoot!"
Lin Yiyan replied, "No problem, I will make your favorite Coke chicken wings when the time comes."
Qiao Xuening responded with a greedy expression, "It makes me hungry."
Lin Yiyan said, "Let's not chat for now. I want to take my family on a trip. It may be slow to reply to messages these days. If you have anything to do, just leave a message."
Qiao Xuening: "Okay, have fun."
The conversation ends here.
Yu Hanjiang scrolled through it, and found the daily greetings from Qiao Xuening and Lin Yiyan, as well as pictures of the two girls sharing cosmetics and bags with each other. He couldn't see anything wrong. He returned the phone to Qiao Xuening and asked, "Are you talking to Lin Yiyan?"
We have known Yiyan for so many years. As far as you know, when she was in college and after her debut, did she have any grudges with anyone?"
Qiao Xuening was silent for a moment, her eyes flickered, and she stopped talking.
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Miss Qiao, I hope you can tell us everything you know about Lin Yiyan."
Qiao Xuening took a deep breath, trembling her eyelashes slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Yan is very good to me. When I was at my lowest, I could only take some supporting roles. My monthly income was barely enough to eat, and even the rent was not enough."
I couldn’t afford it. Xiaoyan was already very popular at that time. I found her at a class reunion and asked her if she could help introduce some resources to me. Xiaoyan agreed at that time. I thought she was joking, but I didn’t expect that she really
He did it and introduced me to a supporting role in a large-scale costume drama. Later, he also introduced me to the director and screenwriter..."
At this point, the eyes of the girl in front of me suddenly turned red, and tears kept rolling in her eyes. "Back then, I was exposed to a scandal by my first love boyfriend. Netizens spread my photos everywhere and scolded me harshly. Xiaoyan also said for me
I've said it before... I've always remembered this love. I think she is a very kind person, how could anyone kill her?"
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other and looked at each other.
It seems that Lin Yiyan's acting personality plays the role of "benefactor" in front of her best friend to gain a sense of accomplishment. She helped her best friend generously, and even now, Qiao Xuening is full of praise for her.
Xiao Lou interjected softly, "Didn't she tell you who she had any grudge against?"
Qiao Xuening wiped her eyes in embarrassment, looked away, and said as calmly as possible, "I haven't mentioned it before. She and I usually talk about cosmetics, clothes, perfumes, etc. We are both busy and don't have much time to see each other."
, I originally wanted to go to her 30th birthday this year in person, but unfortunately she happened to be filming a commercial during those few days, so I said we would meet again at the end of the year... I didn’t expect that she, she was actually killed?"
Yu Hanjiang asked, "How much do you know about her relationship history?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qiao Xuening's face, and after a moment she said, "I know about her being with her manager."
Yu Hanjiang then asked, "Don't you have another boyfriend?"
Qiao Xuening shook her head, "She never mentioned it."
Yu Hanjiang once again confirmed Qiao Xuening's confession, and finally found that she could not get any more clues here, so she and Xiao Lou had to withdraw first.
Before leaving, Yu Hanjiang gave Qiao Xuening a business card and said, "Miss Qiao, if you think of any clues about the murder of Lin Yiyan later, you can contact me at any time."
Qiao Xuening took the business card and said with red eyes, "Well, Captain Yu, let's go slowly. I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible. A good person like Xiao Yan cannot die in vain. The murderer must be brought to justice!"
Chapter 251, New Suspect
After leaving Qiao Xuening's residence, Yu Hanjiang immediately called the program team of "Please Close Your Eyes When Dark" to confirm.
The director said that the program was indeed filmed in the mountains. In order to create a scary atmosphere, it was specifically chosen to be filmed at night. However, the program team took adequate safety measures and was surrounded by security guards. During the filming process, everyone was given
Wearing uniform down jackets and hand warmers, the celebrities had a great time.
The entire recording process lasted for a day and a night, during which no one asked for leave. Yu Hanjiang was also on the list for the recording of the show. Among them, only Qiao Xuening and Lin Yiyan knew each other, and no other celebrities had interacted with Lin Yiyan.
According to the director's description, Qiao Xuening's performance during the recording of this program was nothing unusual. She drew two policemen, two civilians, and one killer. Since she was not very good at playing this kind of game, she lost all four games and only one civilian game.
Winning was taken away by the police.
After the recording, her manager came to pick her up and bought small gifts for the entire crew.
The director spoke highly of Qiao Xuening. Yu Hanjiang confirmed that Qiao Xuening's testimony was correct, and then he and Xiao Lou returned to the crew, met with Lao Mo, Qu Wanyue, Long Sen and others, and roughly explained the current situation to their teammates.
From this point of view, Cheng Yu, Qi Ming, and Qiao Xuening all have sufficient alibi.
Could there be someone else as the murderer?
Xiao Lou leaned against the wall and thought carefully for a moment, then asked Yu Hanjiang, "Captain Yu, do you think Qiao Xuening's words are credible? She has a very good relationship with Lin Yiyan. I always feel that she is hiding something."
Yu Hanjiang said, "She was recording a show in the mountains that night. Many people can testify for her that it should have nothing to do with Lin Yiyan's murder case. However, she was really hesitant to speak just now, especially when I asked who was related to Lin Yiyan.
When there was a grievance, she would avoid her eyes and answer too hastily, which made her look guilty - she should know something, but she couldn't say it."
Xiao Lou looked at Qu Wanyue, "Teacher Qu, have you discovered anything in your contact with her these days?"
Qu Wanyue said, "It's really not easy for Qiao Xuening. It is said that she was in a relationship, but later broke up because of a long-distance relationship. After her ex-boyfriend found out that she had become a star, he actually posted her photos on the Internet in revenge... Although in the end
She won the lawsuit and all the photos were deleted, but this incident dealt a huge blow to her. After she came back, she became more careful and cautious in doing things and was polite to everyone. A big star talks to me better than me
Students should be polite."
Qu Wanyue thought about it carefully and described it, "She gave me the impression that she was walking on thin ice and cautious in her words and actions. Therefore, she might know something, but she didn't say it because she didn't dare to offend others."
Xiao Lou nodded understandingly, "She may be afraid, so she doesn't dare to say nonsense."
Long Sen scratched his hair hard and said with a confused expression, "So it seems that the three people we have contacted so far, the agent, the little fresh meat and the best friend, are not likely to be the murderers?"
Lao Mogan laughed and said, "Judging from Captain Yu's description, Cheng Yu left the villa at 3 o'clock, the manager left at 3:40, and the best friend was recording the show in the mountains. The deceased's car drove out at 4 o'clock in the morning, and the person who drove away was
The most likely murderer, these three don’t match up in time.”
Liu Qiao touched his chin thoughtfully and asked, "Could it be a double crime? For example, one person killed Lin Yiyan, and the other person arranged ice cubes at the scene and drove away Lin Yiyan's car
?”
Xiao Lou looked at her and said warmly, "We have also considered this, so the agent is still in custody. His suspicion cannot be completely ruled out. After all, he had a dispute with Lin Yiyan after entering the villa. If he killed Lin Yiyan
, it makes sense that another person disposed of the body and drove away Lin Yiyan's car. However, the possibility of Qi Ming teaming up with others to commit the crime is very low. His feelings for Lin Yiyan do not seem to be fake. We
It is more likely that the person who entered the villa after Qi Ming killed Lin Yiyan."
Liu Qiao coughed lightly and said, "I'm just guessing... The person who entered the villa after 3:40 should be familiar with Lin Yiyan, right? Otherwise, if Lin Yiyan knocked on the door of a stranger in the middle of the night, she would be
It can’t be opened.”
Yu Hanjiang said, "Of course, her friends in the circle, we will investigate them one by one."
Just as he said this, Yu Hanjiang's cell phone suddenly received an anonymous text message.
The text message was sent from an unfamiliar number, and it contained a long text: "Lin Yiyan and Zhou Yuanyuan had a grudge. Last year, when the costume drama "Red Dust" was launched, the producer originally chose Zhou Yuanyuan as the protagonist, but later he changed his mind.
I don’t know the reason why it was suddenly replaced by Lin Yiyan. Zhou Yuanyuan’s team was ready to sign the contract, but Lin Yiyan intercepted them halfway. It is said that Zhou Yuanyuan was so angry that she had a car accident on the way to the airport, and her face was disfigured. This
The passage is gossip brought up by old classmates at a private gathering, and the authenticity is not guaranteed."
After Yu Hanjiang quickly scanned the information on his phone, he handed the phone to Xiao Lou.
Xiao Lou took it and took a closer look and said, "This anonymous message should have been sent by Qiao Xuening, right?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "It's obviously her. She didn't tell us in front of her manager just now. She was probably afraid that her nonsense would be true, so after we left, she carefully sent a message anonymously to report it."
Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang with admiration. "Did Captain Yu realize that Qiao Xuening did not dare to talk nonsense in front of her agent, so he left her the business card? If we had left directly at that time, we would not have known this clue."
.”
Yu Hanjiang said, "I did see that she was hiding something."
Fortunately, Yu Hanjiang saved a hand. Qiao Xuening was afraid of taking responsibility, so she could only report the suspect through anonymous text messages.
Lin Yiyan used a not so bright method to steal the heroine, which caused Zhou Yuanyuan to have a car accident in anger...
The key is, disfigurement.
It goes without saying how important a female star’s appearance is. Disfigurement is a deep hatred!
Zhou Yuanyuan had enough reasons to take action against Lin Yiyan.
She had been disfigured and her future was bleak. Maybe she was so frustrated that she just wanted to drag Lin Yiyan into the water. This murder case seemed to be carefully planned. The murderer and Lin Yiyan had a deep grudge.
Yiyan stole Zhou Yuanyuan's role and caused Zhou Yuanyuan to be disfigured in a car accident. This happened last year, and one year is enough time to prepare.
After investigating three key witnesses, a suspect with the most motive in this case finally emerged.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and said, "Everyone, go back to bed first. Professor Xiao and I will visit Zhou Yuanyuan tomorrow to see what she says."
The teammates went back to their rooms, and Yu Hanjiang drove home with Xiao Lou.
On the way back, Xiao Lou carefully analyzed the clues obtained in the past two days and said, "Currently, neither Cheng Yu nor Qiao Xuening has a motive for the murder. The agent Qi Ming has a motive, but time evidence reduces his suspicion. Zhou Yuanyuan's motive for the murder is
The most sufficient one, but it may not be the murderer. I always feel that she may not be the only one Lin Yiyan has offended?"
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou and said, "Take your time. Our current physical evidence is not sufficient. There is no progress in the source of the ice and the whereabouts of the murder weapon. It is indeed difficult to investigate. Tomorrow, we will bring Lin Yiyan's college classmate
, friends in the circle will check it carefully again, maybe there will be new clues."
Xiao Lou nodded and said nothing more.
Investigating a case means peeling off the cocoons and piecing together countless fragmented clues.
Could the murderer be Zhou Yuanyuan, whose face was disfigured in a car accident because Lin Yiyan was stealing the show?
