Chapter 320: Expanding Web
While Xiao Rui and the other officers were checking for potential dangers on the island, Zhu Wen and some staff came over with several boxes of fried chicken.
“Thank you for your hard work, officers. Come and eat some fried chicken to replenish your strength. Tomorrow I still need Captain Xiao to be on the camera!” Zhu Wen smiled and offered them the fried chicken.
“Captain Xiao! Doctor Mo’s analysis is out!” A new face ran towards Xiao Rui.
“Haven’t I asked Kang Zhi to liaise with the people from the forensics team? Where is he? He has already learned to order people around?” Xiao Rui was annoyed.?How dares the brat hand over the job I’ve given him to someone else?
“It’s not Kang Zhi’s fault. I saw him earlier and Miss Zhu Wen was giving him some fried chicken. He only glanced at them before he started to vomit. I had no idea what happened and I didn’t dare to ask. The coroners said that they were hungry so they took Kang Zhi’s portion. Captain Xiao, you should eat too, or else there might not be anything left.”
Xiao Rui nodded and then he opened the report. “Based on the blood spatter experiment, despite the difference in sizes, the blood spatter at the crime scene matches the one produced by the dead chicken. Thus we speculated that the victim was either unconscious or dead when he entered the machine.”
At that moment, Xiao Rui’s mind was filled with various images of chicken being thrown into the chipper. The result was not conclusive but Xiao Rui would take the result into consideration.
“Captain Xiao, I’ll leave this box for you?” The staff handed the fried chicken to Xiao Rui. “It’s alright… I’m not hungry…”
Xiao Rui sat down and started to think about the case. If Lin An was already unconscious when he entered the snow chipper… How did the killer manage to do it? The lights were only out for a few minutes, could the killer have enough time to knock a living person out and then send him into the chipper?
Of course, this would be a lot easier if Lin An was already inside the chipper to start with. But there was a staff member who said that he had spoken with Lin An before the celebrities moved to the campsite. The director went back to his room on the yacht to grab something. The staff spoke to him through the door.
Also, there was another issue. What were Qian Yao and Lin An doing over there? Everyone was supposed to go to the campsite so what were the two doing near the snow chipper and power box?
People said that it was because they were there to have sex but then why pick that specific spot when the island was so big? Furthermore, they had to pick a spot next to the snow chipper which had been modified.?Something just doesn’t seem right…
“Si Lin, prepare for the interrogation!” There were too many unknown questions and Xiao Rui planned to solve them. “Go and call Mo Li.”
Zhu Wen sat on the chair and looked at Xiao Rui, she even smiled at him.
“Zhu Wen, who is the organizer of this program?”
“President Zhan Hai, but the program involves not only Huan Yu but other companies as well.”
“Then who gave you the job of the host? And why did you want this job?”
“Why? Of course for the money! The job offer was released on the company chat group, the salary was 2 million RMB, my life is not even worth that price! Besides, the job seems easy enough, there are only 12 episodes. Once I finish these 12 episodes, I’ll be rich. I can’t really tell who offered me the job because, after everyone registered for the job, the chat group disbanded. I didn’t even know I got the job until 500,000 RMB appeared in my bank account. That must mean that they had chosen me.”
“Xiao Liu, call Kang Zhi… actually, never mind. Get Si Lin to go and check the chat group. Look into the different accounts and chat records.” Xiao Rui told the officer beside him before turning back to Zhu Wen. “You are the host. When the 2 victims went missing, why didn’t you go look for them?”
“Officer, are you really asking me that question? Do you really not know what they were up to? Plus I did notify their manager, since their manager didn’t care, what could I do? Moreover, this wouldn’t have affected the shoot. We would just use post to edit in their arrival.”
Zhu Wen added, “Furthermore, it was chaotic at the time. After Chu Guang shouted about the downed power line, no one dared to move. Chu Guang was standing before me and I could see his legs shaking. Once the lights went out, he fell on his butt. I barely understood what was happening so I stood where I was. I really didn’t expect the tragedy would happen to Qian Yao and Lin An. The staff member watching over Lin An and Qian Yao didn’t say anything either.”
“Wait, there’s a staff member who is supposed to watch over Lin An and Qian Yao?”
“Yes, there is a staff member to act as a liaison between the celebrities and the program team. Do you want me to go get her?” Xiao Rui nodded. Zhu Wen went out the door to shout someone’s name.
“You were responsible for the 2 victims?” The woman who walked in was startled by the question.
