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

Chapter 187 Wang Youxian Ran Away

Municipal Bureau.

When Su Miaoyi arrived, she only saw Brother Zheng among the familiar faces.

"Where are the others?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"They've gone to arrest someone," Zheng said. "Team Leader Zhuang said I'm a blabbermouth and won't let me go."

Su Miaoyi looked at him.

Brother Zheng sighed, "He holds grudges."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

"Were you injured that time? Isn't a scratch on your fingernail an injury?" Brother Zheng asked, supporting his lower back.

Su Miaoyi nodded again: "Brother Zheng, does your back hurt?"

"It's an old problem." Brother Zheng rubbed his lower back and pressed it a few times. "I was shot in the waist when I was catching a fugitive, and it hurts when it rains."

"Do you have any medicine?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"I just ate something, the pain will go away in a bit, it's nothing," Brother Zheng said. "Aren't you curious about who you went to catch?"

"Who did they go to arrest?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“Wang Youxian,” Zheng Ge said, “the director of that show.”

"Arrest?"

"Yes," Brother Zheng said. "After the surveillance was turned off this morning, Wang Youxian came out of the hotel, threw his phone into the trash can in the parking lot, and then drove away."

"The murderer in this case has been arrested. He was interrogated overnight last night and confessed to everything, so the surveillance was lifted this morning."

"Shortly after the surveillance was lifted, Captain Zhuang suddenly said that Wang Youxian was a prime suspect and needed to be brought back for questioning. By then, his phone was already unreachable."

“Wang Youxian’s residence in Jinghai is far from Shunshi Film and Television Base, and he couldn’t possibly drive there at that time. So Captain Zhuang had the surveillance footage from the hotel where Wang Youxian had stayed in the past few days checked. They saw him leave the hotel and go to the parking lot, where he threw a cloth bag into the trash can.”

“Our people were monitoring over there, and they hadn’t gone far when they went back. They found his three cell phones in a cloth bag in the trash can.”

"After that, we kept checking the surveillance footage, and Captain Zhuang contacted the traffic police brigade."

"Because Wang Youxian hadn't been away from the hotel for long, he was easy to find. After they found him, the traffic police stopped his car, but Wang Youxian drove through the checkpoint."

Su Miaoyi opened her mouth, then asked nervously, "Is anyone injured?"

"No," said Brother Zheng.

No one was injured, and Su Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Youxian is acting out of a guilty conscience.

Su Miaoyi did not witness the murder and initially ruled out Wang Youxian, worried that without direct evidence, Wang Youxian would try to deny it.

But now it seems things might be easier.

Once the surveillance was lifted, I wanted to leave quickly and escape, but I was stopped again.

Wang Youxian felt uneasy. After being stopped, his first thought was probably that he had been exposed.

That's why he made such a move.

When one is under immense mental stress, on the verge of collapse, and has a fleeting hope of escape that is then dashed, it is easy to act impulsively.

"What's going on with Xu Yu?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Brother Zheng, rubbing his lower back, paced back and forth: "The technical department disassembled that murder device. They extracted sweat from a part inside the device, and then extracted DNA. They compared it with Xu Yu's."

Su Miaoyi watched him pace back and forth: "Would it be better if you sat down?"

"No, walking will make me feel better," Brother Zheng said. "It's okay, the medicine will take effect soon."

Su Miaoyi nodded: "So Xu Yu admitted it?"

“Yes,” Brother Zheng said. “He said he assembled the device himself, and he also had someone make the knife. He also put the device under the floor, and he himself pasted on the paper figure under the device, and he also glued the remote control to the paper figure’s hand.”

"When did he put the device under the floor?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Brother Zheng thought for a moment: "There was a three-day gap between the recording of the first episode and the recording of the second episode."

Seeing him pacing back and forth, Su Miaoyi didn't sit down but leaned against the table and nodded. "The production team rented the venue two days before filming started and then began setting it up. Xu Yu secretly jumped into the courtyard the night before Liu Nanmo died, avoiding the surveillance cameras, and went to place the device."

Su Miaoyi didn't say anything; this production team was very wealthy.

We rented that courtyard house for a total of seven days.

She had seen their filming schedule.

It was very relaxed, and the schedule wasn't tight.

All filming took place in the first half of the night; there were no plans for the second half.

Therefore, Xu Yu had the opportunity to commit the crime.

Moreover, the coffin wasn't heavy; an adult man couldn't lift it, but he could certainly push it.

There were indeed scratches on the floor where it had been pushed.

However, they have all been repaired. This way, the damage won't be so noticeable in photos.

"The holes in the floor were dug over three nights before the device was installed," Brother Zheng said. "We did a little bit every day, then cleaned it up, restored it to its original state, and repaired the scratches on the floor to avoid the props team scolding us the next day or arousing suspicion."

Su Miaoyi frowned slightly.

Brother Zheng continued, "Team Leader Zhuang asked him if he wasn't worried about being discovered one day, or not having time to dig the hole one night. Xu Yu said that he only decided to start this plan after seeing the filming schedule. He said that if it was discovered, the props team would most likely think that the previous crew forgot to fill the hole, or that it was a prop left behind by the previous crew."

"This kind of thing happens quite often. Nobody thinks much about it. Usually, if the crew doesn't need it, they just leave it idle in the back."

Indeed, there were all sorts of dusty props behind the main hall of the courtyard house.

"He also has a remote control, right?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Yes."

"Where is it hidden?"

"Just like everyone suspected, Xu Yu said he flushed it down the toilet," Brother Zheng said.

There is a toilet in the corner of the courtyard house.

Very small.

You can only use the toilet; you have to go outside to wash your hands at the tap.

At that moment, they wondered if the item had been washed down the drain since they couldn't find it.

After all, everyone was in the courtyard house.

It could have been handled perfectly well before the police arrived, or even before a call was made.

That night, Zhuang Yanzheng called people to search for the remote control along the sewer, but before she left, she didn't hear any news that it had been found.

"Then why did Xu Yu kill Liu Nanmo?"

Brother Zheng sighed: "Xu Yu is an orphan."

Upon hearing the word "orphan," Su Miaoyi immediately thought of the Sunshine Welfare Home.

His eyes widened instantly.

Seeing her expression, Brother Zheng immediately said, "It has nothing to do with the Sunshine Welfare Home. Xu Yu's hometown is in the mountainous area of ​​Yucheng, which is very poor."

"Xu Yu was admitted from his hometown, and Ye Qingwu sponsored his tuition and living expenses for four years of university."

"Ye Qingwu?" Su Miaoyi repeated the name. "That celebrity, Ye Qingwu?"

Brother Zheng nodded.

“I remember a few years ago, she retired from the entertainment industry and then faded from the public eye,” Su Miaoyi said.

"It's not that I'm retiring from the entertainment industry, it's that I've been driven crazy by Liu Nanmo," Brother Zheng said. "Now I'm in a mental hospital and I don't recognize anyone."

　I finally finished writing it.

　　I'll correct the typos tomorrow.

　　My eyesight isn't very good these days.

　　Goodnight everybody
