Chapter 92: The Female Celebrity's RV
Many people on the internet were using the banner of insiders, saying everything.
"Ha, these netizens have too much imagination. There are even people saying Hong Mei is a spy and was arrested..." Wu Shanqiu said.
"Look, it's not a question of leaking news at all, but the disappearance itself is enough to cause rumors," Hua Deping said.
Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu got on Hong Mei's RV in the crew.
Qi Fei looked at the situation in the RV. This Hong Mei seemed very superstitious, with charms to increase good luck everywhere.
Accompanying them up was Hong Mei's personal assistant, who had quite a lot of feelings on the side: "The glamour of a star is for outsiders to see. Sister Mei knows that her status today is not easy. She has never relaxed for a moment. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, she basically spends them in RVs, hotels, and on set. She hasn't even returned home. I didn't expect..."
"It seems your relationship with Hong Mei is good?"
"How should I put it? There are all kinds of rumors about Sister Mei outside, and she has many black fans, but only we see how not easy she is. No matter how glorious she is in front of people, only she knows the grievances she suffered."
"For example?"
"Like people like Huang Daqiu, being with Sister Mei is just using her as a tool for showing off, not sincerely loving her at all. Sister Mei is already thirty years old, which is not young in the entertainment industry. Over the years, little flowers are chasing each other behind her. Only she knows the pressure Sister Mei has."
"So she can only turn to believe in metaphysics?" Qi Fei picked up a copper bell, on which was written: Red and Purple Enter the Hall, Urgent as the Law—Golden Snake Immortal.
Qi Fei turned it, and there were many similar Dharma artifacts and talismans hanging in different places of the RV.
"This Golden Snake Immortal seems to have a close relationship with Hong Mei," Qi Fei said.
"It looks like we've encountered Zhong Kui's peers," Wu Shanqiu said from the side. "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Zhong Kui for a few days. Where did she go?" After speaking, she looked at Qi Fei, waiting for an answer.
Qi Fei dodged his eyes guiltily: "Why are you looking at me?"
Wu Shanqiu had an expression of watching a good show: "Brother Fei, are you shy? I don't think you were like that in the interrogation room that day. Oh my, I get excited just thinking about it. Do you two count as officially together?"
"Don't mess around, don't talk about private matters at work." Qi Fei searched for Hong Mei's relics more intently. Suddenly, a yellow origami fell out of Hong Mei's makeup box.
Qi Fei picked it up. The six-petal shape was so familiar, but the paper had faded, and it looked like it had been around for years.
"Ah, isn't this Zhong Kui's origami?" Wu Shanqiu recognized it at a glance. "Zhong Kui has a somewhat evil temperament. How come things about her appear as soon as we talk about her?"
Qi Fei picked it up and looked at the old paper carefully. Suddenly, a hand like white jade reached around from behind him and snatched the origami directly.
Turning his head, Zhong Kui didn't know when she had appeared behind him.
"It's really evil..." Wu Shanqiu muttered.
"Brought you coffee." Zhong Kui held a paper bag with two cups of hot coffee in her other hand.
Qi Fei took a cup of coffee with one hand and raised the origami in his other hand: "Who is this person that you were asked to get rid of again?"
Zhong Kui yawned boredly: "If I had this brain back then, I should have made a lot of money now. Hong Mei? I don't know this person."
"Is she Zhong Xiaoyu's patient?"
"Then I don't know. I told you, Zhong Xiaoyu and I are two completely independent people." As she spoke, Zhong Kui glanced at the origami: "Heh, this color has faded like that, who knows when it happened."
"Where are Zhong Xiaoyu's medical records?"
"I don't know."
"Hmph, it doesn't matter, I'll go ask myself," Qi Fei said, immediately dialing the Baicheng Police Bureau.
"Sorry, after Zhong Xiaoyu had an accident, all medical records disappeared," the voice from the other end of the phone came, clearly audible.
Zhong Kui had a successful smile, as if she just liked the way Qi Fei couldn't do anything about her.
Just at this time, the director's walkie-talkie sound came from the filming place: "Cut! Very good!"
Several staff members who finished work passed by them, discussing: "Work is much easier after changing to Sister Lan, basically one take."
"Heh, heard it? It's not that 'Mei Acting' is sick, it seems not, they say she's dead."
"Ah..."
Just talking, Lan Die had already come over.
Seeing Qi Fei and others in the RV, her assistant was still clearing the scene there: "Sorry, Sister Lan is resting, please let us through."
"Isn't this car Hong Mei's?" Wu Shanqiu asked.
"Sister Lan has heavy scenes, there is no extra RV, the producer said to use Hong Mei's first."
It turned out that this RV would be cleaned out for Lan Die so quickly. The coldness of the world was magnified countless times in the entertainment industry, even more cruel.
Lan Die was polite: "It's okay, these few are my friends."
"Sister Lan has scenes in the afternoon..."
Just talking, Lan Die noticed Zhong Kui and showed extra interest in her.
Zhong Kui observed her expression, suddenly rolled her eyes, looking bored: "Looks like I've met an old acquaintance again."
"Are you also a police officer? You look very familiar..." Lan Die really stepped forward to inquire.
"I don't know you," Zhong Kui refused decisively.
Lan Die was puzzled for a moment, didn't pester much, said she might have recognized the wrong person, and got on the RV as a matter of course. She saw the origami in Qi Fei's hand at a glance and immediately said: "This is mine, how come it's with you?"
"How did your things end up in Hong Mei's makeup bag?" Qi Fei sized up Lan Die, not without suspicion.
"This is my makeup bag."
"Placed in Hong Mei's RV?"
"The crew arranged for me to live here. I just followed the arrangement and put some of my things."
"Then what about these things? Are they not yours either?" Qi Fei pointed to the various Dharma artifacts of the so-called Golden Snake Immortal.
Lan Die denied it, saying that these things were all Hong Mei's, and she just didn't move these things out of respect for the deceased. However, when talking about this, the terrified expression on Lan Die's dignified face said that she actually didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the RV, always feeling that there was someone beside her. Last night, she even dreamed of a woman covered in blood, wearing ancient clothes, appearing in front of her. She thought she was too nervous from filming recently.
When she spoke, she had the actor's line habit, making the scene described feel more immersive to others.
Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu looked at each other. This description was exactly the same as what they heard from the cleaning lady who saw it at Yun Shen Secret Realm. ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
