Netherworld Investigator

"Ms. Yu, how did you find out that Director Xiao was missing?" Wen Baifan closed the door of the dressing room, turned around, walked to the chair in front of Yu Bingqing and sat down.

"How did you find out..." Yu Bingqing seemed to be thinking about it casually for a few seconds, and then replied, "I wanted to order food because I was hungry, but I didn't wait around for someone to treat me, so I realized that he seemed to have disappeared?"

Wen Baifan held the recording pen in his hand, and just pressed the start button, he couldn't help but pause when he heard the words, and raised his head in astonishment.

The corners of Yu Bingqing's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at him interestingly.When she was in front of people, every muscle on her face was tensed to a perfect state. Now she relaxed, and there was a slight smile line in the corner of her eyes, which lost some sense of distance for no reason.

Wen Baifan was a little shy under her stare, and looked away, thinking to himself that this woman looks different from the rumors.

"At first we didn't pay much attention to it. Ah Shao's temper is just like this. He compares himself in front of acquaintances. Breaking appointments is a common occurrence. Over the years, Director Zheng and I have gotten used to his style. He often has ideas in his mind. Then he ignored everything, picked up the equipment without saying a word, and ran to shoot the scene alone." Yu Bingqing took out a small mobile phone from the famous brand handbag, tapped a few times on the screen, and handed it to Wen Baifan, "Until just now , I received a message from him."

Wen Baifan took it and saw that at 1:28 pm, a contact person named Shaw sent a four-character message.

"Find the cops"

Hundreds of surveillance images filled the entire wall, and against the background of alternately flickering light and dark, a figure in a black windbreaker was strongly outlined.Qiao Kejun tilted his head slightly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and images at eight times speed flashed quickly in his dark pupils.

When Wen Baifan pushed open the door of the monitoring room on the first floor, this was the scene that greeted his eyes.

"Director Qiao, the end of the press conference is about a quarter past eleven, and all the surveillance videos after this time period are here." Zheng Weisheng rubbed his hands a little uneasy, and whispered, "Director Xiao will be fine. Bar?"

Qiao Kejun turned a deaf ear to his question, raised his hand to manipulate the remote control, freeze one of the pictures, and wrote on the paper with a pen:

11:50 Xiao walked out of the dressing room on the 29th floor and met Yu

11:55 The two walked to the elevator entrance, while waiting, Xiao looked at his phone

11:57 Yu enters the elevator alone, Xiao waits for the elevator that leads directly to the parking lot

12:00 Xiao enters the elevator

Hearing familiar footsteps behind him, Qiao Kejun didn't raise his head, and said casually, "Come here?"

"How's it going?" It was a soft female voice that answered.

With the tip of the pen fixed on the paper, Qiao Kejun turned his eyes and glanced at the person with unknown meaning, then his gaze passed by her again and landed on Wen Baifan's face, "I asked Luo Fei to perform cloud positioning on the client's mobile phone. There will be results soon."

Wen Baifan nodded, stood beside him, and watched the surveillance with him.

Yu Bingqing pursed her lips, her face didn't show much displeasure at being treated coldly, and she even asked Zheng Weisheng to sit down with her.Qiao Kejun switched the main screen to the parking lot with a blank expression.

At 12:05, Xiao Shao took the elevator to the No. [-] garage.He stepped out of the elevator with long legs and walked straight to the place where he parked. His footsteps and back made people feel quite brisk.Judging from the body language, he was not forced and threatened at least at that time.

As a director, Xiao Shao surpassed ordinary stars in terms of topicality and exposure, which is inseparable from his outstanding appearance.He was originally tall, and he had been exercising all year round. He had a good figure with broad shoulders and long legs. He didn't deliberately dye his hair black.Over the years, he has made a lot of commercial films that make a lot of money. The actors all choose popular idol stars. From the promotional photos, we can see that Xiao Shao's temperament and sense of presence stand with young people with outstanding looks. No less.

Standing in front of the car door, the movement is about to open the door.And at this time, Xiao Shao's cell phone made noise again.He turned sideways, put one hand on the roof of the car, and took the phone out of his pocket with the other.This turn around just happened to allow the CCTV to capture his face.Xiao Shao stared at the phone for a few times, with a smile on his brows, then picked up the phone and held it to his ear.

Qiao Kejun frowned slightly, and snorted softly, "It doesn't look like he's in danger. Those who didn't know thought he was on a date."

Wen Baifan turned his face and looked at him in surprise, unable to believe that such subjective words came from Qiao Kejun's mouth.He coughed lightly, and said bravely: "It seems that the acquaintance is very likely to commit the crime. He didn't have any psychological expectations before he was involved in the danger. According to Ms. Yu, Director Xiao has a habit of communicating with each other. A period must be added at the end, but there is no punctuation in this line, it is likely to be a distress message sent by the victim in an emergency..."

At this time, Luo Fei called and interrupted his words.

Wen Baifan put down his phone and put away his relaxed expression.The cloud positioning of Xiao Shao's mobile phone shows that it is a hundred kilometers away on the southward expressway. This may not be what they thought it was.

Qiao Kejun's complexion was also a bit grim. Surveillance showed that Xiao Shao's private car drove out of the parking lot at 12:10, but where did he go? It is only possible to track him by asking the traffic police department to control the traffic video. .

Yu Bingqing, who was sitting quietly beside her, suddenly objected: "No, Ah Shao is a public figure, and this matter cannot be handled with great fanfare." Zheng Weisheng, who was sitting beside her, also nodded repeatedly. Xiao Shao has recently become the top three of Mo's Entertainment One of the shareholders, if something goes wrong at this time, it is likely to have an impact on the company's stock price.

"Is fame or personal safety more important now?" Qiao Kejun's eyes turned cold, but he didn't meet her eyes. "Besides, who are you, and what qualifications do you have to make decisions for him?"

"That's not what it means." Yu Bingqing is indeed a public figure who is used to seeing the world, and when he is aggressively questioned to this point, he can still talk calmly, with first-class bearing and self-cultivation. "Once the media is alarmed, they will spread the news as quickly as possible. If something really happens, they will only startle the snake."

"Linyuan? Lingyuan?" Just as the two were arguing, a strange syllable suddenly came out of Wen Baifan's mouth.

Yu Bingqing was startled, and looked at him in surprise: "What did you just say?"

Wen Baifan pointed to the monitor and read out his lips: "When Director Xiao answered the phone, he called out 'cemetery' or 'Lin Yuan'."

"What else did he say?" Yu Bingqing asked softly.

Wen Baifan shrugged: "Then his face turned away."

Yu Bingqing thought for a while, then relaxed her brows, revealing an expression of sudden understanding: "Just now you said, where did you find Ah Shao's cell phone?"

"It's on a certain section of the Southward Expressway. But after sending the distress message just now, the location of the phone has not shown that it has moved. It cannot be ruled out that the gangsters discovered the distress action and directly put the phone on the side of the road." Wen Baifan's expression changed. Zheng, said to Qiao Kejun, "Anyway, we finally have a clue now, let's take a look first."

"Hello!"

When the two came to the parking lot, they accidentally saw Yu Bingqing leaning lazily and elegantly beside a gray car, but Zheng Weisheng or his assistant were not around.

Wen Baifan is very strange, does this big star even know which car belongs to Qiao Kejun?

"What are you doing here?" Qiao Kejun frowned, "Didn't I tell you to wait for news?"

"No, I know who took Ah Shao away." Yu Bingqing took out a pair of sunglasses from her bag, put them on in a smooth motion, and patted Wen Baifan on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's arrest someone together, young man." Now the driver."

Wen Baifan hesitated: "Ms. Yu, if you are with us, it will cause commotion as soon as you leave the parking lot."

"I asked my assistant to drive the reporters away, and now they are all waiting downstairs in my apartment building." Yu Bingqing smiled, "I have experience fighting wits and courage with the media. They are the best at Catching wind and shadows, creating something out of nothing, almost drove me to death in the early years."

Such an interesting incident once happened. A reporter asked her: "What is the most important factor in becoming famous?"

Yu Bingqing replied straightforwardly: "Luck."

As a result, the next day, the headline published in the newspaper was "Famous Film Queen and Director: Meeting Xiao Shao is my greatest luck".

"Later, I learned to be smart, and I thought to myself, I can't hide from them, so I should treat them as cats. I held the cat teaser and pointed where to jump."

Qiao Kejun opened the car door, sneered, and mocked: "I'm used to being a celebrity, thinking that anyone can make you come and go as soon as you want, first explain what's going on, do you know where Xiao Shao is?" ?”

"Is it more important to listen to the explanation or the personal safety of the citizens? There is no time to explain, so get in the car first." After Yu Bingqing finished speaking confidently, she laughed, waved her hand, and smiled at Wen Baifan who didn't understand, "Recently I only started using Weibo to promote the movie, and I found this sentence very interesting.”

Qiao Kejun was so pissed off by her nonsense that he couldn't speak, so he got into the driver's seat silently.

Wen Baifan fastened his seat belt, and glanced at the person next to him dumbfounded. The latter started the ignition twice impetuously, and it took two tries before he could hit it.

Wen Baifan had long noticed that the aura between the two was a little off, but he felt that there was no need to say anything more for the time being.

He had never seen such a Qiao Kejun, like a young boy who was angry with his mother, reckless, rude, but unexpectedly straightforward and cute.

"Where are you going?" Qiao Kejun turned on the navigation and glanced at the woman in the rearview mirror.

"Wangfeng mountain. For those who fly to the sky, look at the peak and rest your heart." Yu Bingqing took out a box of mints, gave two to Wen Baifan, and stuffed one into his mouth, "It's a mountain near the sea. If I If I remember correctly, the location is near the exit of the South Expressway, the road may not be easy to find, you can search it."

Wen Baifan peeled off the candy and handed it to Qiao Kejun's lips. He had no choice but to eat it obediently, and said impatiently: "This is work, this is spring outing..."

Seeing his reluctance, Yu Bingqing turned her face away, pretending to look out the window, but raised the corner of her mouth where no one was looking.

In order to avoid any further conflict between the two, Wen Baifan had no choice but to ask: "So Ms. Yu..."

Yu Bingqing interrupted him: "You don't feel awkward when you are a lady in front of a lady along the way. I hit it off with your child. Come on, call me auntie. I have grown up so much, no one dares to call me auntie yet." I think so , Aging has always been a taboo topic that celebrities cannot touch, let alone "auntie", whoever dares to call a female celebrity "big sister" in person will be tired of work.

Yu Bingqing said this in a very natural tone, without the slightest bit of reluctance, but instead revealed a different kind of innocence.

And innocence is precisely the most difficult state for actresses to handle.

Generally speaking, female stars do not look older than ordinary people, but after reaching a certain age, if they insist on indulging in the girly roles of the past, trying to show off the inappropriate cuteness, it will only continue to deplete the audience's goodwill towards the actors themselves—perhaps, Humans age not because they grow older, but because they flatter their youth.

Yu Bingqing is not an ageless legend. Even though she is well maintained, the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes still reveal her age to some extent.What is special about her is that her eyes do not have the hard work and exhaustion of people in the world of mortals, but there is agility and brightness in her gaze.In these years abroad, she has maintained the work intensity of two dramas for three years. The female characters she plays all have a sense of precise control over life, are stubborn, unyielding, and full of passion.

"I, I..." Wen Baifan was already bent into a paper clip after being approached by such a real goddess-level star, but the remaining straight male factor in his body began to jump up, and he scratched his head shyly, " Ah, why do you feel that you have hit it off with me?"

Yu Bingqing chuckled and didn't answer, but left room for imagination.Wen Baifan's face turned red, and he selectively ignored the heavy hum from the person next to him.

Qiao Kejun swallowed his anger and said, "You can tell us now, what do those two words that Xiao Shao said on the phone mean?"

Yu Bingqing pondered for a while, then sighed, and said, "Lin Yuan is a character in "Morning Sky"."

Wen Baifan asked casually, "Which kite?"

"A kite's kite." Qiao Kejun replied without thinking.

Yu Bingqing looked at him in the rearview mirror, her beautiful eyes showed a bit of surprise: "Have you seen this movie? Oh, I didn't expect you... such a young man has seen it too, it was a long time ago It's over."

Qiao Kejun squeezed the steering wheel, and looked away unnaturally: "After all, it is a very famous movie."

The street trees outside the car window receded rapidly, Yu Bingqing's eyes flashed a trace of nostalgia for the past years, "Speaking of which, it was the last time I played a little girl, and I was already my age in a blink of an eye."

"Sorry, I haven't seen it." Wen Baifan raised his hand like a primary school student.

Yu Bingqing smiled, and summed it up nonchalantly: "It's a pretty naive romance film, with boys, girls and villains, small towns and fields, roads and seas..."

It was dark all around, and the car drove into a tunnel, the dim light shrouded Yu Bingqing's face, her voice became softer and softer, and her thoughts fell into the soft memories like clouds.

The place where the story begins is in a small town called Taoyuan.

The protagonist, Lin Xiaoyuan, is in high school. She is not beautiful. To cover up the pimples on her forehead, she wears a heavy pot haircut, making her look dull and rustic.But her perception ability is outstanding, her speech expression is very imaginative, she is a little girl with a very interesting personality, and her popularity is quite good.

At the end of the first year of high school, a handsome boy from a big city was transferred to the class.He is tall and fair, and he speaks and behaves with an indescribably noble air. Although he is wearing sports uniforms uniformly distributed by the school, once he stands there, he can be clearly distinguished from the children who grew up in Taoyuan. differentiated by region.

For the teenagers in the small town, Xiao Wen was a dangerous and strange intruder. They watched him warily and formed a gang to build a strong defense line. I thought about fitting into their world.The solitary daily life made him even more mysteriously attractive, and it was no surprise that Lin Xiaoyuan, who was just beginning to fall in love, was attracted by this boy.Out of the shyness of a young girl and a little lack of confidence in her appearance, the most daring move she ever made was nothing more than rubbing her heart full of love into her diary and using the ambiguous abbreviation X to refer to him.

On this day, Lin Xiaoyuan was crouching on the desk doing her homework when she suddenly heard a commotion around her. Looking back, she saw an evil-looking boy from the next class standing at the back door of the classroom.With one hand behind his back, he was walking towards Lin Xiaoyuan from the door with a smile on his face. At the same time, a group of boys crowded around the window in the corridor and yelled maliciously.

The boy walked up to Lin Xiaoyuan, stopped in his tracks, took out a mirror from behind, put it in front of her, and jokingly said, "Do you know ugliness?" Some adolescent boys don't know whether it's because of lack of education or other reasons. , They give birth to a strange self in the thriving hormones, and they will think that the existence of the opposite sex with unfavorable appearance is a great offense to themselves.

Lin Xiaoyuan, who was humiliated in public, had reddened eyes, and rushed out of the classroom sullenly, and ran to the rooftop alone.I saw Lin Xiaoyuan restrained a little at first, lying on the railing, lowering her throat, big teardrops fell from her eyes, the pain of being bullied seemed to be able to penetrate the screen, very contagious.Gradually, she couldn't hold back her emotions, and the sound of sobbing was like a frightened mouse tentatively poking its head out of the hole after feeling a little safe. After a while, Lin Xiaoyuan's loud cries of breaking jars echoed on the rooftop .

At that time, a gust of wind messed up her hair, and a few strands of hair were accidentally eaten into her mouth, causing the long crying to have a funny pause for two seconds.This is a very interesting crying scene, which shows the cute side of the little girl to the fullest.Lin Xiaoyuan hiccupped softly, stretched out her hand and pulled her long hair out of her mouth, after two mouthfuls, she pursed her mouth and continued to cry.

This action amused Xiao Wen who was hiding in the dark, he put out his cigarette, walked out from the corner, and chuckled, "You have a really bright voice." This was the first sentence Xiao Wen said to Lin Xiaoyuan , and his second sentence was to say to the girl after she burst into tears and smiled: "You look cute when you smile." Just such a simple sentence, like a wonderful palm caressing a girl's heart, will break the broken moment become the stars that adorn the sky.

Lin Xiaoyuan carefully glanced at the cigarette butt in his hand: "You...are a smoker."

"Smoking." Xiao Wen replied indifferently with the corner of his mouth hooked.

It seems that Xiao Wen, who is both good in character and academics, is actually such a "bad student", but the shortcomings of her crush are also symbols of charm. Compared with accidents, she is more happy to see Xiao Wen's unknown side.

During the summer vacation, Lin Xiaoyuan started exercising vigorously to lose weight, abstained from all kinds of sweets and snacks, and even changed into a refreshing and simple new hairstyle under the guidance of her elder sister at home.Every girl in crush is the most patient sculptor, they tirelessly carve their own image in the heart of their lover.Lin Xiaoyuan was originally a beauty embryo. Driven by dopamine, her self-control is also quite amazing. Two months have passed, and she looks like she has been reborn.

On the day of registration for the new semester of the second year of high school, many boys in the class saw Lin Xiaoyuan, their eyes straightened for a while.Even after school was over that day, an unprincipled student stopped her, pestering her to have sex with Lin Xiaoyuan.

The next thing is the scene where the passing hero hero saves the beauty. The teenagers are full of enthusiasm and start to fight if they disagree with each other.

After the turmoil, Lin Xiaoyuan insisted on sending him home, but Xiao Wen did not refuse.

The residence is the best place to reflect a person's experience and heart. This chance, let Lin Xiaoyuan know a lot about his past.

Xiao Wen's life experience is very tortuous.He is the illegitimate son of a rich family, and his biological mother is a beautiful but ignorant woman who only wants to live the life of a rich wife, and has a very alienated relationship with him.Due to his brother-in-law's recent promotion, in order to please his original wife's family, the biological father sent Xiao Wen back to his grandmother's home, a remote Taoyuan town, to study in order to show that he had no intention of raising an illegitimate child.

There is no more moving moment than an indifferent person revealing his fragility. The self-deprecating smile on Xiao Wen's face aroused Lin Xiaoyuan's soft protective desire in her nature.In agitated mood, she expressed her long-hidden love.

Xiao Wen smiled lightly and told her that he once liked someone very much and she had already left this world, but he still couldn't forget her.

She mustered up the courage to confess but got such a result. Lin Xiaoyuan was sad and disappointed, but also consciously expected it.After all, she has a lingering inferiority complex in her heart, and she believes that it is impossible for a person as good as Xiao Wen to belong to her.It's just that the person she loves is extremely affectionate, but the object is another girl. No matter how open-minded Lin Xiaoyuan behaves, she will inevitably feel a twinge of pain in her heart.

However, Xiao Wen didn't explicitly refuse after all, and he acted ambiguously and tenderly towards her, which for no reason made Lin Xiaoyuan feel hopeful out of despair.
