Reborn as a little director

Then, a few days later, Zhong Yang told Xie Siqing that the police had obtained the consent of the house owner, and they could go over to have a look.

On the day it was agreed to visit, Zhong Yang drove over early to pick up Xie Siqing, and the two went to the house together.

At the gate, they saw a policeman surnamed Fang.

The policeman surnamed Fang said he would also be with him.

"This is Yao Shunyu, a friend of mine," Zhong Yang introduced Xie Siqing, "I will go to other places to do some business with me later, so I asked him to come with me."

"Yeah." The policeman surnamed Fang didn't care, "What do you remember?"

"I'm not sure, I want to take a look first."

"I didn't expect you to have clues." The policeman shook his head and said, "You should be the last one to have clues."

"Oh?"

"Because you were outside at the time, it's hard to know what's going on inside."

"……Um."

"And you didn't stay at the door for a long time, and you left for quite a while. Although the door is always within your sight, it's impossible to know what's inside."

"Huh?" Xie Siqing was puzzled.

At that time, he asked Zhong Yang to wait a while, and he also thought that Zhong Yang had been waiting obediently, but in the end, what did he run away for?

The policeman surnamed Fang replied for Zhong Yang: "He saw an ice cream seller over there, so he bought an ice cream and ate it in his hand. The ice cream seller can testify to this. So Zhong Yang's suspicion is very low. He has Ample alibi."

"..." Xie Siqing had no idea that there was such a thing.

The policeman said again: "Zhong Yang didn't wait for Xie Siqing, so he knocked on the door again, and only when the other two came out did he realize something was wrong."

"..." Xie Siqing thought, Zhong Yang was eating ice cream when he was killed.

Zhong Yang seemed to make people feel angry even if he didn't do it on purpose.

The police opened the door for them.

Xie Siqing only took a step, and that sense of familiarity came over him.

This used to be his home.

He likes the house very much, and he has paid great attention to the decoration.

In particular, there are several mahogany bookcases, which are full of favorite books, which he carefully collected.

There wasn't any complete set of books, he found them all on purpose, and some of them were even out of print, and he bought them at high prices from other sources.

It's really a pity--

After rebirth, he bought many of them again, but it will take time to collect them all.

Xie Siqing has a bit of a collection habit, as long as he likes it, he will want to keep a copy, so that he can read it all the time.Even if you don't turn it over, it's good to put it there, because it represents a period of time and a heartbeat he once had.

Xie Siqing thought about it and went to the kitchen first.

He was killed here.

After Chi Wen got here, he made tea in the kitchen, and then Zhong Yang came over to fetch some things.

He asked Zhong Yang to stand at the door and wait for a while, then went back to the kitchen to send the tea to Chi Wenyue first, and then went to find what Zhong Yang wanted.

The accident happened during this time.

——The teapot and teacups were still in place at that time.

Xie Siqing wandered around for a long time, but found no clues.

"..."

Then, Xie Siqing walked into the reception room.

This was where Chi Wenyue stayed at that time.

It seemed that nothing had been touched inside.

Xie Siqing looked around, but found nothing.

There is a cigarette butt in the ashtray, which was left by Chi Wenyue that day. It seems that the relatives have never cleaned up the house in the past two years.

In fact, after Xie Siqing remembered that Chi Wenyue entered the house with a cigarette and a lighter that day, he felt faintly that the murderer was not Chi Wenyue.As soon as Chi Wenyue came, he died.So, would a person who had a clear purpose and came straight to kill people really bring cigarettes and lighters into the house?No matter how you look at it, it looks more like a discussion.

And that day, the two of them really wanted to talk about something—about Shao Yu.At that time, Chi Wenyue insisted on letting Shao Yu know how to obey the company's arrangements and stop being willful, otherwise he would rather continue to hide him.

Chi Wenyue is such an iron-fisted person.Not to mention the artists under his banner, but even his partners, he always refused to give in when there was a conflict.

As for Shao Yu, he has been refusing to come forward to clarify that he is not gay, and he is refusing to tell the public that he loves women.

So Chi Wen became more and more angry.

After Shao Yu's event was canceled by the company, Xie Siqing tried hard to persuade Chi Wenyue not to care about Shao Yu's news.This is the case in the era of information explosion. No matter how earth-shattering the news is, it will be fine in a few days, and it will always be overwhelmed by a large number of new things.People are more inclined to boast about what happened in the current day, and then pull out the events of a few days ago and it will immediately look outdated.

But Chi Wenyue said that he didn't want to pamper Shao Yu, and he must let Shao Yu follow the company's instructions.

In this case, Xie Siqing was also a little paranoid.

The day before they were killed, they had one last argument.

At that time, he said to Chi Wenyue: "If you insist on treating Shao Yu like this, then I will not sign another play."

There are many people who can invest in his movies, and they don't have to hang on this tree.

Chi Wenyue didn't seem to expect Xie Siqing to be like this.

At that time, Xie Siqing also said: "Shao Yu is an actor I like to use. If he can't play here, then we will find other ways to cooperate."

"for example?"

"For example, Shao Yu terminated the contract."

"..."

"I'll help him pay part of the default amount - although I think there will be many companies willing to help him pay."

"Xie Siqing." Chi Wenyue said slowly at that time, "I didn't know you were a person who didn't know the general idea."

"..."

Chi Wenyue continued: "It's reasonable for an artist to follow the company's arrangement. You should persuade him not to be self-willed, instead of making things that are already complicated even more complicated for fear that the world will not be chaotic."

Xie Siqing insisted: "It is reasonable for an artist to obey the arrangement of the company, but it does not include forcing others to lie."

"But this is a common practice in the circle." Chi Wenyue said, "We didn't have any special requirements. Everyone does this, so why is Shao Yu special? Homosexuality is still not allowed on the stage. And, then The post is so disgusting, Shao Yu’s popularity will definitely be affected if he acquiesces, and people will add fuel to it if he admits that he is the same.”

Xie Siqing said: "If he is not willing to lie, no one can force him!"

"I think it's professional ethics not to drag the company down because of my own affairs." Chi Wenyue said, "I gave in this time. So, what about next time? What about next time? Let him do whatever he wants forever? As long as Is it true, he will disclose it as he wants, regardless of the interests of the company? If all artists are like this, regardless of the image the company creates for them, they can do whatever they like, how can I continue to operate?"

So that day broke up unhappy.

I have to admit that in this turmoil, Xie Siqing was very disappointed with Chi Wenyue.

In this conflict between Chi Wenyue and Shao Yu, Xie Siqing wanted to help Shao Yu deal with it, because Shao Yu was in crisis because of himself, and he couldn't stand by Chi Wenyue's side to make Shao Yu sad.

Then, on the second day after the conflict, that is, a short time before Xie Siqing was killed, Chi Wenyue called him suddenly, saying that he was already at his door, and wanted to discuss this matter calmly.

Therefore, Xie Siqing led him to the reception room.

Seeing that nothing could be found here, Xie Siqing came out and went upstairs.

Zhong Yang suddenly said next to him: "You seem to be very familiar with this place."

"...Huh?" Xie Siqing was thinking about something, but didn't hear clearly.

"I said, you seem to be very familiar with this place."

"..."

"So," Zhong Yang looked at him and said, "You really know Xie Siqing, right?"

"...That's right."

Zhong Yang wanted to say something more, but seeing that Xie Siqing didn't mean it, he gave up.

Xie Siqing went into the study.

At that time, Shao Yu was here.

When Chi Wenyue came suddenly, Shao Yu was talking to him.

The two of them were also talking about the same thing - if the two of them kept refusing to give in, how would it end at that time.

However, before the discussion came to an end, Chi Wenyue came to his house.At that time, he asked Shao Yu to stay here because it would be embarrassing for Shao Yu to show up.

Xie Siqing looked around the study.

There was almost no movement here, and the overall appearance remained the same as that day, except that a few rare edition books about movies disappeared from the bookshelf.

Xie Siqing knew very well that it had already been auctioned off.

On that day, the items that were auctioned were mainly his trophies, his collection of DVDs, and these few books.

Xie Siqing's eyes fell on the table again.

Like the reception room, the ashtray is still here.

Inside is a candy wrapper that I peeled off earlier, and half of Shao Yu's cigarette.

Shao Yu didn't smoke in the first place.He can, but he is not addicted, so he has never smoked voluntarily.

However, Shao Yu would occasionally take out cigarettes during the two weeks of being hidden in the snow.

Xie Siqing felt that Shao Yu was very uncomfortable.

On the day of his death, after talking with Shao Yu for a while, Shao Yu also asked: "Is it okay?"

At that time, he nodded his head, and then Shao Yu lit a cigarette, frowning.

Yao Shunyu is allergic to smoke, but Xie Siqing is not.

and many more……

Xie Siqing suddenly thought: smoke?

He looked carefully at the half of the cigarette.

A little less than half, to be exact.

When Xie Siqing recalled the events of that day countless times, in the last scene where Shao Yu appeared, the cigarette in his hand was probably left so long.

Because what happened was too important to Xie Siqing, Xie Siqing remembered every detail of that day clearly.

That's right... When Chi Wenyue rang the doorbell and told Shao Yu that he didn't need to show up, the cigarette in Shao Yu's hand was so long.

So, that is to say, Shao Yu hardly smoked after that.

After he went out, he put out his cigarette.

why?

There is only one explanation that Xie Siqing can think of - Shao Yu was going to do one thing at that time.

Because a cigarette was half-smoked, and when I was bored waiting for someone in the room, there was no reason to suddenly press it out.

Suddenly the button went off, there must be something to do.

What is he going to do...?

Shao Yu didn't bring anything that day, so it was hard to imagine that there would be something urgent.

A thought emerged clearly.

Was he going to—kill himself?

Xie Siqing stood there thinking blankly.

He suddenly recalled that when he was filming Zhong Yang's movie, he once said that if there were heaven and hell and reincarnation for several generations, then people separated from life and death would still be able to see each other again.

At that time, Shao Yu said: "Impossible."

The meaning is probably that, even if there is, he and Xie Siqing will not go to the same place, after all, there is one heaven and one hell, or one upper three realms and one lower realm.

This sentence is very strange, and people can't help but wonder what Shao Yu did——

...Is it really Shao Yu?

Xie Siqing found it unbelievable.

He thought, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's all a coincidence, it's all a coincidence.

However, he already had a faint feeling in his heart that Shao Yu's suspicion was far greater than the other two.

But, I don't understand.

He had no doubts about Shao Yu's feelings for him at all.

Those eyes are definitely not fake.

For 7 years, if it was pretending, it would be too similar.

What kind of person can pretend for 7 years?

Moreover, even after his death, Xie Siqing could still feel Shao Yu's liking.

Shao Yu was also there at the auction a few days ago.

He photographed almost all of Xie Siqing's trophies.

After the auction, he told reporters that he would take Xie Siqing's place to keep it, which is the minimum respect for Xie Siqing's life achievements.

The only exception is the one I got.

Originally, Shao Yu also bid for the same price, but when he turned around and found that he was the one he wanted, Shao Yu didn't raise the price again, probably thinking that he had a deep longing for Xie Siqing, so his subordinates showed some affection.

Really... I don't understand.

This time Zhong Yang patted Xie Siqing on the back: "What are you thinking?"

"No." Xie Siqing shook his head, "It's almost there, let's go."

"……Oh."

Officer Fang heard that the two were leaving, so he hurriedly asked how Zhong Yang was doing.

Zhong Yang shook his head and said, "I made a mistake."

"..."

"It's useless to the case, so don't say it."

"Let's talk about it, maybe we can think of something."

"It's really my mistake." Zhong Yang said sincerely, "I thought I heard the sound of the stairs when Shao Yu went downstairs at the door, and thought Shao Yu was lying when he said he hadn't gone downstairs, so I came here today Step on it, and as a result, this staircase will not produce any movement at all."

"..."

"It should be because I always think about it and come up with hallucinations."

"..." Officer Fang felt powerless.

——After getting in the car, Xie Siqing remained silent.

Is it Shao Yu...?

Really... is it Shao Yu?

"See what's coming?" Zhong Yang, who was driving beside him, asked.

"En." Xie Siqing's voice was very low, "Nine out of ten it is Shao Yu."

"Oh?" Zhong Yang asked, "How did you know that?"

Xie Siqing shook his head again.

"You don't want to talk about this either?"

"Ah."

"So," Zhong Yang asked again, "what are you thinking about now?"

Xie Siqing's voice was a little ethereal: "I was wondering why."

"……Um?"

"If it's really Shao Yu, what is he doing for it?"

"..."

"I must know." Xie Siqing said softly, "It's been two years, and I can't delay any longer. I have to find out who it is and why."

"..."

"However, after two years, I still can't figure out how to find out the truth."

Zhong Yang glanced at Xie Siqing: "Is this important to you?"

"Correct."

Zhong Yang sighed: "Can I know how important it is?"

Xie Siqing said: "It is one of the most important things in my life."

Zhong Yang stopped talking.

Xie Siqing was not in the mood to care about him either.

At this moment, Xie Siqing was thinking about Shao Yu.

From the time I first met that person, to the time when we parted ways a few days ago.

Would Shao Yu do such a thing?

No matter how you look at it, that person has been doing his best to protect himself.

Zhong Yang fired again for a while, and then suddenly asked Xie Siqing: "You said just now that in that case, in all likelihood, Shao Yu took advantage of Xie Siqing's inattention and suddenly hit him hard from behind?"

"Ah."

"I didn't know you were Holmes."

"I'm not Sherlock Holmes, but I think so, so don't ask me any more. I see what no one else can guess."

"..."

……

——In the next few days, Xie Siqing was very depressed.

When filming, he tried his best to maintain his state, but it was really difficult to do.

Seeing him like this, Zhong Yang was obviously worried.

Then, one night, Zhong Yang suddenly called Xie Siqing and said, "Come to my house, I have something to say."

"……Um?"

"It's not convenient on the phone, and it's not convenient at your home. Come here as soon as possible."

"it is good."

So, Xie Siqing went to Zhong Yangna.

Zhong Yang opened the door and let him in.

Xie Siqing followed him to the living room.

Zhong Yang leaned against the wall in silence for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xie Siqing, and said softly, "It's Shao Yu."

"……what?"

"The murderer was Shao Yu."

Xie Siqing felt his blood rushing up: "How do you know?"

"He admitted it."

"Are you going to ask him?!" Xie Siqing roared in a low voice, "Are you crazy?!"

"you listen to me."

Xie Siqing closed his eyes, opened them again, took a few deep breaths, and tried his best to ease his emotions: "Say it."

"Indeed, I asked him face to face."

Xie Siqing was in a hurry again.

"Don't worry, just listen to me." Zhong Yang repeated again, "I invited him to a cafe, found a remote seat, and told the waiter not to be disturbed by anyone."

"..."

"I told him, in fact, that day, I saw it."

"...!!!"

"Of course this is to lie to him." Zhong Yang said again, "I said, I didn't see the specific process, but when we were looking for someone together, he reached out and pushed the back door, and I saw blood under his armpit. I haven't seen it too much before. I care, but I read a novel a few days ago, the murderer also had blood in his armpit, and I suddenly realized this detail. There was not much blood on his body, only one drop. But it was in the armpit, so he didn’t notice it. Whether it is When you put it on, or when you go back to check, this position is often overlooked."

"……and then?"

Zhong Yang smiled: "Your guess is correct, we bet right. Shao Yu felt that I was lying to him, so naturally he would not admit it. I emphasized that I really saw it. Because the location of the blood is in the Armpit, so he must have raised his hand at that time. When Xie Siqing died, he raised his hand, and the distance was very close, so you can imagine what he was doing. There is blood, which means trauma. Because there is only one drop, it cannot be a knife. I guess It was he who hit Xie Siqing from behind with a blunt instrument. The skin and blood vessels on the head ruptured, and a little blood spewed out. The time of committing the crime was when I was outside the door and Chi Wenyue was in the reception room. Come, that's when Xie Siqing is making tea."

"..."

"Shao Yu probably didn't check his armpits... and obviously the whole process was right. After I told him about his technique, he obviously believed most of it."

"...Did he admit it?"

"No." Zhong Yang continued, "I told him that I don't plan to call the police. I don't care about Xie Siqing's death. I have a bad relationship with Xie Siqing. As long as he has a reasonable reason, it is not easy to kill others. Okay. I don't want him to have an accident at this time, because the movie is still in theaters, and I plan to compete for many awards with this movie next year. If I send my leading actor to prison because of a bad relationship with Xie Siqing, my own loss will be It’s too huge, box office and awards are all impossible. What’s more... After two cooperations, I want to develop more with him in the future. However, I must know the reason why he killed Xie Siqing. If I can’t know his reason, I can’t be sure He will not kill others again, my conscience will be very disturbed, it is okay to close one eye, but it is impossible to completely close both eyes."

"..."

"What I'm saying is, if he doesn't tell the reason, I'll tell the police immediately, and he can only tell the police. On the other hand, if he can confess and the reason is reasonable, I'll let him go. As long as there is nothing afterwards I will keep the truth forever, unless he gets involved in another case. After he hesitated for a long time, he admitted it was him."

"..."

Zhong Yang said again: "I think he wants to take it easy. After all, he basically believes that I really saw it. He thinks that if he denies it, there is still a high chance that I will call the police immediately. If he tells the truth, he will Had time to maneuver - he didn't want to take the risk. Maybe it was better to confess here. Told me that there was still a good chance that nothing would happen to me than going to the police. Even if the worst happened, I still reported the police , that would be the same as denying the result.”

After finishing speaking, he added: "My acting skills are still better than his."

"……and then?"

"And then he admitted it."

"Then why?"

"Because..." Zhong Yang hesitated, "He misunderstood that you helped Chi Wenyue deal with him."

"……what?"

"That morning, Chi Wenyue told him that Xie Siqing had agreed to Xue Zang him, and promised that he would not invite him to film his new movie until he softened. He was completely on Chi Wenyue's side. He let Shao Yu Don't count on Xie Siqing anymore, tell Shao Yu that if you want to film again, you can only choose to compromise."

"Chi Wenyue lied to him!"

"..." Zhong Yang didn't ask you how did you know this time.

Xie Siqing only felt that his head was going dizzy.

Chi Wenyue would be so provocative.

This kind of indecent method...

At this moment, Xie Siqing finally let go of Chi Wenyue completely.

Chi Wenyue and Shao Yu were the two people I trusted the most in my previous life.

In the end, did you miss everything?

"Well." Zhong Yang said again, "Shao Yu has always known that Xie Siqing loves Chi Wenyue very cheaply—oh, I summed up the word 'very cheap', and I can't remember the original words. So, when he saw Chi Wenyue also appeared at Xie Siqing's house, and when Xie Siqing threw him down and ran to make tea for Chi Wenyue, he believed Chi Wenyue's words, thinking that Xie Siqing had sacrificed himself to please Chi Wenyue He sacrificed himself, the person who was really good to him, and let the rage invade his mind for a moment. He always knew Xie Siqing's thoughts for Chi Wenyue, just like a balloon was full of air, and at this moment it was pressed by a heavy object, and immediately It exploded. He doesn't understand now how people can lose all rationality in an instant and be controlled only by anger. It's unbelievable now, but at the time, he stubbornly believed that Chi Wenyue was going to be with Xie Siqing Discuss how to deal with him."

"……Um."

"He told me that he regretted every day and didn't understand how he became that kind of person. In fact, he still doesn't know whether Xie Siqing is really on Chi Wenyue's side, but that is no longer the case. The important thing is that Xie Siqing treats him well. He only hopes that everything can start again and that Xie Siqing can be fine. Moreover, he also knows now that he should trust Xie Siqing. Believe in Xie Siqing's character, not because of Chi Wenyue's few Just doubt him."

"Is there anything else?" Xie Siqing asked.

"That's about it." Zhong Yang said, "I haven't mentioned your name, you can continue to look it up."

"So, can I talk?"

"Well," Zhong Yang nodded, "tell me."

"Zhong Yang." Xie Siqing looked at him and repeated that sentence, "Are you crazy?"

"..."

"It's very dangerous, you know." Xie Siqing's voice trembled with anger, "Since Shao Yu can kill Xie Siqing, he will most likely attack you again!"

"I didn't get killed that easily."

"That's another matter! Danger is danger. In this kind of thing, you must be cautious, okay? Don't be careless, no one has the right to be arrogant!"

Zhong Yang looked down at Xie Siqing: "But, tell me, you want to know."

"But the price is not you! If you are in danger, I'd rather not know!"

"You said it was important to you."

"You are more important to me!"

After saying this, Xie Siqing was stunned.

Zhong Yang... Before he knew it, he was already so important.

If Zhong Yang is not by his side, this rebirth must be very difficult.I don't know when, he hoped that Zhong Yang would always be by his side, always by his side.As long as I think that I may gradually fade out of each other's lives in the future, and I will bear everything alone, I will feel a little sad.Just thinking about it would depress him with that sense of loneliness.

In the past, Xie Siqing never knew that he was someone who needed others.I used to be alone, obviously everything was fine.

Over there, Zhong Yang raised Xie Siqing's bowed head: "Don't do this."

"..."

"I'm ok."

Zhong Yang smiled, slowly leaned over, and gently kissed Xie Siqing on the lips.

"..." Xie Siqing didn't push Zhong Yang away.

"So," Zhong Yang asked again, "Are you going to call the police?"

Xie Siqing shook his head: "I'll take another look."

"Why?" Zhong Yang planned that if Xie Siqing dared to say "because you promised not to call the police", he would teach him a lesson.

Fortunately, Xie Siqing did not.

Feeling the silence, Zhong Yang asked again: "Why?"

Xie Siqing said slowly: "Because I think Shao Yu is lying."
