Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 181 Separate Inquiries
After asking the director.

Su Miaoyi and Lu Zhishen then asked Xu Jinlan.

Xu Jinlan was truly terrified.

He looked terrible, had just vomited twice, and was extremely weak.

“I didn’t know anything. I was just lying inside. I was scared. I didn’t want to lie in there, so I kept talking.”

"Then suddenly something touched me. I was so scared that I screamed. I thought it was some kind of prank program arranged by the production team."

"The recording of this variety show has been scary from the very first episode. Suddenly the lights go out, and then something suddenly jumps out from somewhere. It's very frightening."

"If I had known it would be this scary, I wouldn't have come. I would have preferred to participate in that outdoor variety show."

"When you were lying inside, did you notice anything different?" Su Miaoyi's voice softened.

“It was so dark inside, I couldn’t see anything, I couldn’t see anything at all.” Xu Jinlan clenched her hands, her body trembling slightly. “I don’t know, I don’t know anything. All I know is that they opened the coffin and I ran out. Then, after a while, they said someone was dead.”

“There are wronged spirits, and wronged spirits have been summoned. It is the wronged spirits that have killed, it is the wronged spirits that have killed.”

“I told them it was bad luck and I wouldn’t go in, but they insisted. Now look what happened. Will I be next? Will everyone here die?”

Su Miaoyi grasped her hand: "The police have intervened now, so there won't be any more murders."

“Police officers are human too. How can humans stop a vengeful spirit from killing?” Xu Jinlan gripped her hand again. “What should I do? What should I do? Am I going to die? Am I going to die? Am I going to die?”

“We will ensure your safety,” Lu Zhishen said. “There is no such thing as ghosts in this world.”

“Impossible. That’s just beyond human comprehension, not that it doesn’t exist.” Xu Jinlan stared, her eyes wide and unfocused.

Su Miaoyi asked, "How does Liu Nanmo treat you?"

“He’s very good, very good.” Xu Jinlan suddenly looked around. “He’s very good to me, a very good person, a very good person.”

"What were you saying in the back of the room after you took off the microphone?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"He encouraged me to do well in the recording, and said he would buy me a bag after the recording was finished."

Su Miaoyi broke free from her hand and touched her forehead.

Xu Jinlan has a fever.

"She has a fever." She looked at Lu Zhishen.

Lu Zhishen stood up: "I'll go tell Captain Zhuang to arrange for her to go to the hospital."

"And call someone else in as well," Su Miaoyi said, pressing her temples.

After a while, Lu Zhishen returned and called the props team in.

"My name is Tao Chuan, and I'm in charge of the props team."

"Did you put the cushions in the coffin?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Yes," Tao Chuan said. "They're all made of some low-quality wood. We put mats on them in case the recording crew gets scratched by splinters or something."

"You made the coffin too, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"What determines the size?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"It's based on the height of the people being filmed," Tao Chuan said. "After all, it's a prop, so people have to be able to lie down in it. The director gave us some height and weight data, and we made it according to that."

Lu Zhishen showed him the photos he had taken: "Did you include this rectangular hole in the bottom wooden board when you made it?"

"No." Tao Chuan was very certain. "I did this myself. When we were making it, there was absolutely no such hole. We wouldn't have added this kind of workload for ourselves unless the director asked for it."

"Did you know that the floor under the coffin is hollow?" Su Miaoyi observed his expression.

Tao Chuan shook his head: "I don't know. This place is used for filming, and many places are changed according to the needs of the production team. Maybe the previous production team had a need for it, so they dug it up and forgot to fill it in."

There were just too many people, so they split into several groups and made room in the east and west wing rooms.

Ask them separately.

Besides Liu Nanmo and Xu Jinlan, the main filming crew consisted of two women and one man.

The two women are Meng Yan and Ji Yue.

The man was Xu Yu. Meng Yan was the one Su Miaoyi and Lu Zhishen were asking.

Because Cheng Jue was involved in the filming of the program, she knew about it.

Meng Yan was Liu Nanmo's ex-girlfriend.

He also received a lot of resources from Liu Nanmo.

They now have a certain level of fame and a fan base.

“I usually mind appearing on the same show as my ex-boyfriend,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Yes. I mind too, I mind a lot." Meng Yan said helplessly, "It hasn't even aired yet, and it's already generating a lot of discussion. There are so many people criticizing me and criticizing him."

"Then why did you come to participate?" Lu Zhishen asked.

Meng Yan looked at him: "This isn't something I can just decide to do. The company arranged for me to come; if I don't come, I'll be blacklisted. What can I do?"

Su Miaoyi frowned.

“We have no say; the investors have the say,” Meng Yan said. “Liu Nanmo will do anything to promote his new girlfriend’s debut. The show needs buzz, and me, as his ex-girlfriend, being on the same show as his current girlfriend is the best way to generate buzz.”

"Even if this show turns out to be a complete mess, as long as the topic exists, it won't be unpopular. There's no way around it. If you want to make money, you have to put up with it."

"In today's society, who isn't working hard? Who can't endure their job? It's all the same."

"What kind of person do you think Liu Nanmo is?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“He’s generous. He’ll give you whatever you want, and he’ll make sure you get it,” Meng Yan said.

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

Meng Yan looked at her after a while.

The two looked at each other for a moment, then Su Miaoyi asked, "Is that all?"

Meng Yan nodded: "I am who I am today because of his help. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today. As for love, it all ends the same no matter who you talk to. When it's over, it's over. There's nothing to say. It's a matter of mutual consent."

Xu Yu and Ji Yue were both asked by Chu Xingrou.

While Liu Nanmo and Xu Jinlan were inside the coffin, the other three people were also filming in the main hall.

None of them left the filming area.

I also checked the footage, but so far I've only seen the footage from the time period in which the incident occurred.

Nothing was found; everything seemed normal.

When Liu Nanmo and Xu Jinlan were lying in the coffin.

Cameras were also installed inside.

Although it was pitch black inside, I used the night shooting mode.

You can also clearly see two people inside.

At first, I was just lying down normally.

Xu Jinlan kept talking and kept grabbing Liu Nanmo's clothes.

Liu Nanmo's mouth also moved, and he said a few words.

Then, not long after, Liu Nanmo started to struggle.

Xu Jinlan covered her head and cried out.

The director said he thought he moved a couple of times to scare Xu Jinlan.

However, his movements were so small that they were hardly noticeable, and he stopped moving after only a few seconds.

Su Miaoyi empathized with him in the video and realized that he was struggling.

It's not very obvious in the video.

Because the camera placed there did not have a sound recording function, everything was silent.

Xu Jinlan continued to scream while holding her head, even after the coffin was opened, she was still screaming before running out.
