In this tolerant and broad city, how many crimes have you witnessed secretly growing underground? Why do kind and ignorant people choose to be indifferent to things that have nothing to do with them? You don’t know that when the quiet underground river gushes out from the ground, it is the sun and the moon.
Fall, the moment of eternal darkness!
Destined to have no sleep tonight, everyone started discussing and speculating on the question raised by Xu Lang about who Li Ziyu and the three wanted to protect. However, in the end, there was still no result.
The people related to the murder of Xu Lulu include Huang Xiude, Sun Junfa, Li Ziyu, and of course Ji Xin mentioned by Li Ziyu. There are only these four people in total.
Huang Xiude was arrested by the police not long after Xu Lulu's body was found for his wife's murder case. Li Ziyu died and Ji Xinyuan came over. As for Sun Junfa, the police also conducted a detailed investigation on him and found that he and Xu Lulu were killed.
There is no direct relationship for the time being. Once the investigation reaches this point, everything has reached a deadlock again.
Luo Jiayan was absolutely right. She was in contact with Xu Lulu, Li Ziyu and Ruan Xiaotong, but it seemed that Ji Xin was the only one.
Ji Xin was once a popular star artist. By signing her, Baiyou Entertainment took the company to a higher level. Because Xu Lulu clung to Ji Xin's thigh, she made great progress all the way. Finally, after selling Ji Xin, she successfully entered the entertainment industry.
Having become a first-line artist, as for Li Ziyu, it seems that she has no direct relationship with Ji Xin, but they are more or less involved with Ji Xin, at least in terms of interests.
However, as Ji Xin was imprisoned, everything she once had has become a thing of the past. The entertainment industry is a circle. People often say that actors are meaningless. Although there is ridicule and disdain in it, sometimes it has to be said.
, this is indeed a fact. When a person is popular, people who flatter, flatter and please are like carps crossing the river. Once they fall from the clouds, these people in the past will either add insult to injury, stab them in the back, or stay away and watch with cold eyes.
At this time, it will become the best choice.
Since Ji Xin was born in an entertainment family, she should know this very well. Although her fall has something to do with Xu Lulu's stabbing in the back, it is more due to her own fault. After all, no one can do anything to kill herself.
To save, I believe she figured this out while she was in prison. After she was released from prison, she chose to go abroad to settle down, which shows that she has the thoughts and determination to let go of the past.
Whether it was Tang Youyou asking Baiyou Entertainment to cut ties with Ji Xin after her accident, or whether Xu Lulu stabbed her in the back for her own benefit, or whether it was the departure of others and adding insult to injury, they did nothing.
Wrong, of course, this is from the perspective of their own interests, and Ji Xin may resent these people, but she probably won't kill anyone because of this incident, at least, the motive for the killing is not sufficient.
If Ji Xin is temporarily ruled out as the person Li Ziyu and the others want to protect, then there is still one person who is suspected, and that person is Tang Youyou.
Li Ziyu was one of the first artists to sign a contract with Baiyou Entertainment when it was established. At that time, Li Ziyu already knew Tang Youyou, and their relationship was still good. After Li Ziyu signed with Baiyou, she also achieved further development.
Of course, Ruan Xiaotong needless to say. She has known Tang Youyou a long time ago. The relationship between the two is very good. The friendship of more than ten or twenty years is definitely not simple. If Ruan Xiaotong learned that the scene of the first crime was exposed, she would
It would barely make sense to choose to 'expose' herself at that time, thereby placing all the blame on herself, in order to achieve the purpose of protecting Tang Youyou.
If this speculation is true, then Tang Youyou will become the murderer of Xu Lulu and Xu Wanzhen. However, the question also arises, what is Tang Youyou's purpose in doing this?
Regardless of Xu Lulu's personal strength, how she became famous, or her character, in short, she is an artist under Baiyou Entertainment Company and an employee of Tang Youyou. For a
For bosses, making money is king. In many cases, benefits far outweigh other things. As Tang Youyou is a valuable artist and a capitalist, I believe she knows this very well. What does she have?
Motive to kill her own employees, her own cash cow? This does her no good at all.
Also, if Ruan Xiaotong did this to protect Tang Youyou, everything she did before she died was undoubtedly exposing Tang Youyou, which was completely contrary to her original intention. In addition, Li Ziyu's suicide was also problematic.
It is not certain that he has a good relationship with Tang Youyou. Judging from Li Ziyu's treatment in Baiyou Company in the past ten years, although he has lived well, it is not very good. It is not obvious how much Tang Youyou likes him.
Heart, especially twice, no, three times, was the resource that should have belonged to her. After being taken away, Tang Youyou chose to sit on the sidelines and did not help Li Ziyu speak. From this aspect, the relationship between Li Ziyu and Tang Youyou
It doesn't seem that good. If that's the case, what reason does Li Ziyu have to protect Tang Youyou, and do so at the cost of his life?
It was late at night, but the CSY office building was still brightly lit. Xu Lang was sitting in the office, thinking about these things, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
Ding Haoqiong walked into the office at some unknown time, sat opposite Xu Lang, and looked at Xu Lang with a frown on his face.
"Still wondering who that person is?" Ding Haoqiong asked.
Xu Lang came back to his senses, nodded, and said: "I just looked at the summary of the previous investigation and excluded everyone. The most suspect is Tang Youyou, followed by Ji Xin. However, it seems that these two people have not fully investigated.
The motive for the murder."
Speaking of this, Xu Lang rubbed his brows a little tiredly.
Ding Haoqiong thought for a while and said: "Maybe Li Ziyu and Ruan Xiaotong committed suicide not to protect anyone? Maybe they killed Xu Lulu?"
"What's the motive?" Xu Lang asked.
“Li Ziyu’s motive for killing is very
Obviously, you should be very clear about this."
"If Li Ziyu has a sufficient motive for killing, what about Ruan Xiaotong? What is her motive?"
Ding Haoqiong was silent. Indeed, this was what he was puzzled about.
Xu Lang picked up the cigarette case on the table, pulled out two cigarettes, handed one to Ding Haoqiong, lit one himself, and started smoking silently.
Halfway through smoking a cigarette, Ding Haoqiong suddenly asked: "Hey, by the way, where is Lai Pi? I haven't seen him all day today, where has he been?"
"I asked him to dig out Lu Xiujie for me... Huh?"
As Xu Lang was talking, he suddenly thought of something and let out a soft sigh.
Xu Lang's abnormality immediately caught Ding Haoqiong's attention, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong? Has something happened to Lai Pi?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said, "No, I just thought of a possibility."
"What's the possibility?"
However, in the face of Ding Haoqiong's questioning, Xu Lang fell silent. He took a long drag on his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, raised his head, and said to Ding Haoqiong: "Investigate Ruan Xiaotong and Tang Youyou immediately.
In addition, check Ruan Xiaotong’s household registration information to see the relationship between her and Lu Xiujie.”
Ding Haoqiong was stunned for a moment, but then he understood what Xu Lang was thinking. He also threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, looked at Xu Lang and said, "You mean, the person Ruan Xiaotong and the others want to protect is Lu Xiujie?"
Xu Lang remained silent, neither nodding to admit nor shaking his head to deny. He himself was not sure whether his idea was reasonable.
Seeing Xu Lang's silence, Ding Haoqiong stood up and prepared to arrange the task.
However, just as Ding Haoqiong stood up, Xu Lang spoke again.
"Forget it, let's wait until daybreak."
Ding Haoqiong thought for a while, nodded, and said nothing more.

City H, in a room with two bedrooms and one living room.
After the little boy was noisy all day, he finally got tired, lay on the bed and fell into sleep.
On the sofa in the living room, a man and a woman were sitting opposite each other.
"Are you really going to do this?" the woman asked, her tone a little anxious.
The man nodded silently.
"You don't have to do this." The woman looked into the man's eyes and said softly.
The man also looked into the woman's eyes, shook his head, nodded again, and said, "I have already done something wrong, and I cannot make the same mistake again and again."
"But you have already chosen to do that." The woman raised her voice and said.
"Maybe I shouldn't have done that in the first place."
The man lowered his head and stopped looking at the woman.
"Regret? I advised you not to do that. Since you insisted on doing it, I can only watch. Now, you want to do it again. What exactly do you want to do?"
The woman's voice became louder and louder. It was obvious that she was very excited at this time.
"Zi Yu is dead." The man raised his head and looked at the woman and said.
"That was of her own free will," the woman said.
"Xiaotong is also dead."
"so what?"
"I don't want to see anyone die anymore," the man said in a serious tone.
Hearing this, the woman frowned, but she didn't say anything. However, the eyes she looked at the man were full of anger, distress and reluctance, and more importantly, helplessness and despair.
The two were silent for a while, and then the woman spoke again.
"Now that they are dead, you should also know why they died. Is it appropriate that you choose to leave at this time? Are you worthy of them?"
The woman seemed to want to make a last-ditch effort to convince the man, but unfortunately, she failed.
"I don't want them to die inexplicably."
The man lowered his head and did not look at the woman.
The woman's face turned red and her chest heaved violently. She looked at the man and wanted to scold him, but for a moment she didn't know what to say, or in other words, she didn't know how to stop him from doing so.
What he wants to do is just like when he chose to kill people.
After another period of silence, the man suddenly stood up and prepared to leave the room.
The woman also stood up. She looked at the man's back and shouted: "Even if you don't think about yourself or me, then you should at least think about your child, right? He is still so young."
The man's steps paused slightly, as if he hesitated because of the woman's words.
Seeing the man stop, the woman seemed to see hope, and a touch of hope repeatedly appeared on her face. Just when she was about to speak, the man spoke.
"The child will be left to you to take care of."
After saying this, the man walked straight to the door without any further pause, opened the door, and walked out.
"boom."
With a muffled sound, the door to the room was opened and closed again, and the man disappeared into the room. Only the woman was left in the room, standing there blankly, looking at the closed door.
The desperate mood instantly occupied the woman's entire body, and tears burst out of her eyes at some point. She stared blankly at the door, wanting to take steps to chase the man and not let him go. However, as soon as she took steps, her whole body
He collapsed, as if all his strength had been drained from his body in an instant.
The woman knelt on the ground, and as her body trembled, tears fell one by one on the floor.
She cried, as if she could do nothing now.
————————————————
The man walked out of the unit building along the stairs, stood downstairs in the community, raised his head, glanced at the room where the lights were still on, sighed, and then turned around and left.
When he just walked out of the gate of the community, a black car suddenly stopped next to the man.
The man's body tensed up instantly and he put one hand in his pocket, as if he was about to pull out some weapon.
The passenger window slowly lowered, and the appearance of the person sitting in the driver's seat gradually appeared in the man's field of vision.
"Are you Sun Wenyao's student?"
The person sitting in the driver's seat was a young man. The man was about thirty years old and looked very ordinary. After seeing the man, he asked.
The man's body became more and more tense as he walked out of the community, and his resolute expression just now suddenly became ugly.
"Who are you?" The man neither admitted nor denied his identity.
The young man glanced at the man who still had it in his pocket and curled his lips, seeming to be a little disdainful, and said lightly: "You can call me Mr. Chang."
As soon as the young man said these words, the man's pupils shrank violently. Instead of relaxing, his whole body became more and more tense, and he subconsciously took two steps back.
The young man seemed not to notice the man's little move and said to the man: "Get in the car."
"Can I say no?"
"cannot."
"This is H City."
The young man looked at the man with an idiotic look, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, his eyes full of disdain, and said: "How could Sun Wenyao have such a useless student like you?"
The man remained silent.
"Get in the car, you have no choice."
When the young man said this, he became cold, especially when he leaned down, raised his head, and glanced at the room with the light on, as if to remind the man something.
The man's expression suddenly changed. He wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he said nothing and walked towards the car in silence.
As soon as I put my hand on the handlebar of the rear door, I heard a young man who called himself Mr. Chang say: "Sit in the front."
The man's body stiffened again. He took a deep breath, silently walked to the passenger seat, opened the door, and sat in.
As soon as the car door closed, Mr. Chang started the car. The black car left the community in an instant and drove away quickly along the quiet highway.
After the man got in the car, he kept looking at Mr. Chang's side face vigilantly, as if he wanted to see something, but Mr. Chang kept looking straight ahead, as if he was not aware of the man's sizing at all.
I don’t know how long it took, but the man finally couldn’t help but speak,
"Are you from the 'Master Chang' organization?"
Mr. Chang turned his head, glanced sideways at the man, and said nothing, thus answering the man's question.
"How did you find me?" the man asked again.
"Is it difficult to find you?" Mr. Chang said calmly.
The man frowned, as if he wanted to get angry, but he held it back.
"You help me with this, and I'll help you get rid of your current trouble." Mr. Chang said after a moment of silence.
The man was no longer looking at Mr. Chang. He was looking forward, looking at the streets with rows of streetlights in front of him. He shook his head and said, "I will solve my problems myself."
"Can you solve it? With a woman?"
When Mr. Chang said this, his tone was indifferent, without the slightest hint of ridicule, but it gave the impression that he was mocking men.
"You don't have to worry about my affairs." The man turned his head and stared at Mr. Chang and said.
Mr. Chang didn't care at all about the man's anger. He just glanced sideways at the man and said, "Actually, I don't want to care about your affairs at all, but who told you to be Sun Wenyao's student?"
"Teacher Sun is dead." the man reminded.
Mr. Chang nodded and said, "I know, I was the one who shot him to death."
"you......"
As soon as Mr. Chang said this, the man finally became angry and finally took out his hand that had been in his coat pocket.
There was something in the man's hand. Under the illumination of the street lamp, it shone with a cold light. It seemed to be some kind of murder weapon. He held the murder weapon and slashed directly towards Mr. Chang's neck, as if he wanted to avenge Sun Wenyao.
However, when the man's hand reached halfway, he stopped, his eyes rolled up slightly, and there was something frozen on his forehead, which was the muzzle of a dark gun.
Mr. Chang held the steering wheel with his left hand and a gun with his right hand. The muzzle of the gun was pressed against the man's forehead. The car was still moving forward smoothly. However, the atmosphere inside the car became extremely solemn.
"Zi Zhen... How could Sun Wenyao have a useless student like you?" Mr. Chang said in a calm tone.
At this time, the car happened to stop in front of a traffic light. He turned his head, looked at the man, and said lightly: "If it weren't for you being Sun Wenyao's student, you would be dead now."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Although the gun was pressed against his head, the man asked in a calm tone.
"I said, do something for me."
"what's up?"
"I'll tell you later."
After saying this, Mr. Chang took the lead in putting away his gun. Then, without looking at the man, the red light turned green and he restarted the car.
