my object is a sword

44 chapter

Bailu put on his coat and walked beside Chengying, only a few steps to the next yard.

The gate of the courtyard was tightly closed, and there was a commotion inside, and Xiao He knocked on the door vigorously.After a while, a young boy came to open the door, poked his head out vigilantly, his eyes were straightened when he saw Chengying, he hurriedly opened the door, and asked a bit stammeringly: "Male, male god, what's the matter?"

Bailu looked sideways, is this also a Chengying fan?There are male fans? !

Cheng Ying asked calmly, "What did you lose?"

The boy realized that it was their movement that disturbed each other, so he blushed immediately and bowed his head to apologize: "I'm really sorry to disturb you to rest, but it's nothing, just a colleague's makeup bag was lost, and she suspected that someone in the group stole it." Okay, so it's a bit big..."

Cheng Ying was surprisingly patient this time. After hearing his incoherent speech, she nodded and said, "Can you let me in?"

"Dam, of course!" The boy stepped aside and let three people in. The room was brightly lit. They walked into the house through the yard, and the noisy room fell silent for a moment.

For the support staff, it is usually difficult to have direct contact with the star, and the communication is generally limited to "Hello, Mr. X." In this way, no one expected to attract Cheng Ying.

As soon as Bai Lu stepped into the house, he realized that something was wrong. Although there were many people with yang energy, the yin energy in this room was very heavy, which was unreasonable.In the silence, he said, "Apart from the cosmetic bag, is there anything else missing?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes moved from Chengying to him, and a girl with an angry face said: "Just a cosmetic bag, the contents in it are worth [-] to [-] yuan, my two months' salary! "

Bailu knew that girls' cosmetics were expensive, but he didn't expect them to be so expensive. Just a few bottles and cans cost [-] to [-] yuan!

He thought for a while and said: "Let me provide some clues. I came back this afternoon. At that time, I vaguely saw a black shadow running out of this yard, but when I turned my head, the black shadow disappeared. At that time I I thought it was an illusion, so I didn’t take it to heart.”

Everyone in the room could hear it clearly. The art team looked at each other. After a while, the team leader stood up and asked loudly, "Who came back this afternoon?"

No one said a word.

The team leader asked again, and said, "Others can report what they saw."

Still no one said anything.

The atmosphere became stiff, and after a while, a long-haired girl sitting in the corner raised her hand silently and said, "I've been back."

Everyone looked at her one after another. She looked sweeter, with a small nose, small mouth and big eyes, and there were two dimples around her mouth.At this moment, she was very nervous, with a sickly blush on her face, and her voice trembled a little, "I didn't take Li Wan's makeup bag, I'm just a little cold, come back and add some clothes."

Li Wan stared at her, eyes burning, and said bluntly: "What did you say when I asked you just now? Didn't you not come back all day?! I just explained that I saw her go back, and you still Don't believe me!" Li Wan said, her eyes turned red, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

The long-haired girl grabbed her collar tightly, moved closer to the crowded place, and continued: "I should have come back earlier than Teacher Bai. I was changing clothes in the room and heard movement in the corridor. I thought it was someone from the group. Get ready to get dressed and go out to say hello." She paused for a moment, her eyes showing blankness, "But when I opened the door, there was no one, not even the entire second floor. I thought I had heard it wrong. So I went downstairs by myself. When I went downstairs, I found that the position of my shoes was different from when I went upstairs, because I was anxious to go back to the set, so I didn’t care about this detail and left the yard directly Gone...I came back at night and heard that Li Wan's things were lost, so I remembered."

The head of the art team had a square face, and his stern face was very intimidating. He frowned and asked, "Why didn't you mention these clues before?"

The long-haired girl stood awkwardly at the edge of the crowd, lowered her head and whispered, "I'm afraid no one will believe you."

The employees in the art group had different expressions. Two young boys who looked like interns spoke for the long-haired girl——

"Team leader, Yin Yin is definitely not that kind of person. Besides, she doesn't wear makeup, so what is she doing with her makeup bag?"

"That's right, Sister Qiu usually takes care of newcomers and is kind-hearted, how could she steal things!"

Several girls standing with Li Wan showed speechless expressions, one of them with maroon curly hair sneered and said, "Who are you showing this to? You look like you've been bullied all day long. Please, did we do something? She herself refused to admit that she came back at the beginning, so suspicious, we asked to search the room, what happened! It’s not me who said she doesn’t wear makeup, what else can you two big boys recognize besides red lips? "After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes and turned his head to the side.

The art team leader stared at the curly-haired girl, "Xiaowen! Shut up!"

Xiaowen hummed.

Bailu, Chengying, and Xiaohe stood on the open space where the main entrance came in, silently watching the big drama in the art group, the internal relationship seems a bit complicated...

The team leader said: "Well, since someone did come back in the afternoon, and no one knows who it is, we'll look for each room. For the sake of fairness, the deputy team leader Chi Jing led all the female colleagues to check together. I will take all the male colleagues to check the boys' room."

Everyone agreed to the plan, so everyone started to act.The rooms for male staff are all on the first floor, there are eight rooms in total, and two people live in one room.The female staff's room is on the second floor, which is also a double room, and there are six rooms in total.

The lobby on the first floor was instantly empty, only the three of Bailu were left.Bailu walked around the hall, looked around, and said: "It seems that something is wrong, the whole house is filled with black air... Is the owner of this house really going out to work? Is the village chief lying? It's kind of like..."

Haunted house...

Bailu didn't say the last three words, Chengying picked up his pace, walked to the corner of the hall and picked up something——

A red paper lantern.

That corner is full of props, such as knives, swords, masks, iron chains, etc., all kinds and varieties.

Paper lanterns are placed on top of a box, which is hollow and has no wicks or candles for lighting.Although it is a prop made of red paper, it has a delicate appearance. The pumpkin-shaped shell falls under a smooth and shiny branch, which is simple and interesting.

Bailu remembered that the movie Chengying was making now was called "Looking for the Lantern". He looked at this unremarkable paper lantern and said, "Is this the lantern you have been looking for?"

Cheng Ying shook her head and said, "There is an evil spirit on the lamp."

Hearing the words, Bailu and Xiaohe both leaned closer to look at it. Bailu looked up, down, left, and right, wondering, "Why can't I see the black air?"

Chengying's expression froze, and he held Bailu's hand. The two palms were close to each other, and a warm current poured in from the junction.

I saw that the original unremarkable paper lantern was surrounded by a cloud of black air, and through the red paper, one could see the darkness inside the lantern, as if a cage of ink was filled, and a small light spot floated in the center of the ink, like a wick, emitting Dim lights.

"I'll go..." Egret looked at the weird lantern and said firmly, "This is definitely the most yin-qi thing I've ever seen, more than ghosts."

Xiaohe couldn't see anything, scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously. He looked at Senior Chengying's hand holding the lantern, hesitating whether to hold it desperately. When he was fighting with heaven and man in his heart, the art team leader brought the male staff back up.

The employees were whispering to each other, the atmosphere was relaxed, and it seemed that they hadn't found anything.

Also, why do men steal cosmetics? They have already been used and cannot be sold.

The team leader seemed surprised to see Cheng Ying and the others still in the hall, and walked up and said, "Mr. Cheng, Mr. Bai, it's so late, you go back and rest first, there will be a play tomorrow morning..." While talking, he Following Chengying's gaze, he glanced at the unassuming red lantern, and his eyes fell on the hands of Bailu and Chengying who held hands with five fingers.

Team leader: "..."

Egret: "..."

Bai Lu hurriedly withdrew his hand. After holding it for a long time, a thin layer of sweat broke out in his palm, and he wiped it on the long down jacket.

Cheng Ying: "??"

Xiao He covered his face and stepped back a few steps. He didn't see anything, he didn't know anything.

The head of the art team is indeed an old fritter who has worked with many crews and has seen the world. He raised his head and smiled "hehe", and said, "This lantern is very special. Where did Teacher Cheng get it?"

Lightly revealing the scene just now.

With a cold face, Chengying asked back: "I was just about to ask you, where did this lantern come from? I picked it up here." He turned sideways and pointed to the corner where the props were piled up.

The art team leader was stunned. He looked at the lantern carefully, shook his head and said with certainty: "Impossible, this is not something from our team. Every prop is registered in the warehouse. I know them all. I have never seen this before."

Bailu and Chengying looked at each other at the same time, and wanted to ask again, but the girls who finished the inspection upstairs came downstairs chattering.

Deputy team leader Chi Jing shook her head and said, "I've looked for it, but I can't find it."

Everyone in the group has been cleared of suspicion, so it is only possible that people outside the group did it. A film crew has a lot of staff, hundreds of people, coming and going every day, it is really not easy to identify the target .

Li Wan leaned against the wall with a bitter face. She was quite reasonable, and immediately apologized to her after knowing that she had wronged the long-haired girl, but she still had a bad face. She probably disliked the other party on weekdays.And anyone who lost something worth tens of thousands would not be in the mood to laugh. After all, they are ordinary people who come out to work to earn money to support themselves.

The atmosphere was gloomy.

The hour hand has pointed to 12 o'clock.

In the end, the team leader stood up and said: "Okay, it's already midnight, let's rest first, sitting here is not an option, call the police tomorrow morning!"

Li Wan hesitated and said, "The director..."

Calling the police will inevitably affect the progress of the crew, and if it spreads, it will have a bad reputation for the crew and will have a negative impact. The director may think that their team has too many things to do, and it will be troublesome if they want to change studios.

The team leader was also helpless, sighed and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Bai Lu bid farewell to the team leader, everyone was about to rest, so they naturally didn't want to disturb them.He pointed to the lantern in Chengying's hand and said, "Can we take this away?"

The team leader said politely: "Take it away if you like it!"

When stepping out of the threshold, Bailu glanced back, just in time to see the long-haired girl's eyes staring blankly at the corner where the props were piled up, and the blush on her cheeks became more obvious.
