Chapter 51: Incentivized Search
On the grasslands, the production team sealed the tent where the props were stored and began to investigate.
The relevant staff of Hattori Road were all under investigation, but unfortunately, the grasslands were a special environment. There were no cameras or surveillance cameras around as evidence.
Yin Yue sat in the rest tent, her expression not the least bit flustered.
Last night, she was sure that no one had seen it, and she had been wearing gloves when she switched the props. It was impossible to find her fingerprints!
The incident of Yu Wan’s injury would definitely be ruled out as an accident. The position of the female lead would also be hers!
Jiang Zhi rummaged through the props tent. With sharp eyes, she discovered a strand of clothing fiber on the saddle. She picked it up and examined it carefully under the sunlight. She confirmed that it was not Yu Wan’s costume!
Then, this fiber must have been left behind by the murderer!
She found Director Zheng and gathered everyone together. Her eyes were filled with cold ice as she stared at Yin Yue.
“Yu Wan’s injury from falling off her horse was not an accident, but a deliberate murder attempt! This has already escalated to the nature of a criminal case…”
“Now, I have found evidence of the would-be murderer. As long as I can find out which piece of clothing this strand of fiber belongs to, I will be able to catch the murderer!”
“Yu Wan is my artiste and also an actress who has signed a contract with the production team. Someone has to pay the price for her injury in the production team!”
As Jiang Zhi spoke in a clear and logical manner, the surrounding staff members began to discuss among themselves. They had been in the industry for quite some time and had heard that actors constantly schemed against each other. However, they had never seen anything escalate to this level!
Everyone could not help but feel alarmed and worried for their own safety.
Director Zheng saw that everyone was flustered and uneasy, and his emotions were complicated.
Jiang Zhi, on the other hand, divided the fibers into several portions and suggested to Director Zheng while preserving the evidence, “Now, we should follow the trail of the clothes.”
As she witnessed her dogged pursuit into the matter, Yin Yue also felt a little uneasy.
This b*tch, her eyes were actually so sharp that even she did not realize that her clothes had been torn!
Yin Yue took the initiative to speak, and as if she was thinking for the crew, she said, “Director Zheng, if this matter is blown out of proportion, it won’t be good for our crew! Why don’t we let the crew compensate Yu Wan a little and go to the hospital to console her, then we can resolve this matter.”
Yin Yue deliberately brought up a few projects in the industry that had been terminated due to the influence of public opinion, “Tell me, if this matter is blown out of proportion and the netizens find out about it, how embarrassing would it be for the crew? There will definitely be a bunch of drafts during the broadcast. This is your hard work. Can you just watch as it is affected?”
Director Zheng was in a difficult position. He did have some thoughts of putting the matter aside.
After all, there were some superstitions in the industry, and this was not a good sign!
Seeing Director Zheng’s wavering expression, Jiang Zhi could not help but remind him, “Yu Wan is in the hospital. Her injuries are still undetermined. If the crew insists on protecting the murderer, I will use legal means and my own methods to get justice for her!”
Director Zheng frowned. He could see that Jiang Zhi was trying to force him into action, and his emotions were somewhat resistant.
Lu Mian stood beside Jiang Zhi at the right time. He supported himself with the director’s chair and the monitor with his hands and spoke to Director Zheng with a smile.
“I’ve heard before that director Zheng is the most humane director in the industry. He loves his actors very much. If Yu Wan got hurt unintentionally and her matter is simply dismissed… who could guarantee the safety of the cast and crew in the future? The murderer’s target today is Yu Wan. Tomorrow, it might be me or the director.
“The other actors could get ideas from this. In the future, if they have any conflicts with anyone, they would simply tamper with the props. This time, it was a fluke. The sword had missed all the vitals!
“But what if someone dies next time? Can Director Zheng still choose to let it slide?
“This matter must be investigated!”
Lu Mian’s words were convincing. He successfully convinced Director Zheng to arrange for the security team to search every room!
Jiang Zhi heaved a sigh of relief as she looked at Lu Mian and said softly, “Thank you.”
Lu Mian took advantage of the fact that the people around her were not paying attention to him and sneaked up to her ear. His deep voice tickled her. “I didn’t do it for Yu Wan. I did it so that you would owe me a favor. You’ll have to return the favor today! Using… This!”
He pressed his finger against Jiang Zhi’s lips. When he heard a fresh argument starting, he stood up and checked the situation.
Jiang Zhi’s heart thumped wildly. He really did not care about the situation at all!
When the staff members of the search team arrived in front of Yin Yue’s room, she suddenly opened her arms to stop them. She said with a nervous expression, “You can’t enter my room. This is an invasion of my privacy! I have the right to sue you!”
