Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up Chapter 531 - 531 Investigation

Chapter 531 - 531 Investigation

531 Investigation

“Are you sure you’re fine?” Mingguan asked. “Why don’t you take a rest and we can film later?”

“I’m really fine. I’m not injured anyway. As for who tampered with the props, Qin Mufeng will find out for me. I don’t need to worry about this,” Jiang Xun said.

Anyway, she would hand it over to Mufeng. What was there to worry about?

If even Mufeng could not find out, then no one would be able to.

“As long as you can make sure there’s no problem with the props for the shoot later,” Jiang Xun said. “I only have one scene today. If I finish it earlier, I can still partic.i.p.ate in the investigation.”

“Moreover, if we film it any later, there won’t be enough sunlight and the results won’t be good. We’ll still have to wait until tomorrow.”

“Alright,” Mingguan nodded and agreed with Jiang Xun.

He asked the props team to get another long knife.

For every prop in the crew, unless it was very elaborate and expensive, making it difficult to replicate, they would prepare a few more in case of an emergency.

In case the props were damaged during filming due to various reasons, they could be changed at any time.

Therefore, they also had a spare long knife.

Mingguan sent a staff member who was not from the props team to get it and arranged for the a.s.sistant director and his a.s.sistant to supervise him.

After today’s incident, everyone was a suspect. If the person who swapped the long knife had gone into the prop room to swap it, there must be traces inside.

In order to prevent any traces from being erased or destroyed, three people were sent to monitor each other.

The three of them didn’t have any complaints. After all, this was a serious matter.

It wasn’t a filming accident, but a malicious act, so it was better to be careful.

Moreover, Mufeng was here. It would be strange if Mufeng would let that person off.

The three of them went to retrieve the long knife.

Mingguan asked Jiang Xun and the other actors to adjust their state.

“Then let’s start from the part where the execution begins,” Mingguan said.

Before the shoot started, Mingguan carefully checked the long knife to make sure there was no problem before the shoot began.

This time, the shooting was completed smoothly.

Mingguan heaved a sigh of relief.

However, this incident also reminded him that he had to check the props before shooting.

This time, it was Jiang Xun who was alert and noticed something was wrong in advance, but what if she didn’t notice it?

What if it was someone else in this situation?

No matter if it was intentional or a careless mistake, he didn’t want to cause any losses.

And this time it was a knife, and there were still many explosions. If something happened, the damage would be even greater.

Mingguan let out a sigh of relief. He decided that he would personally supervise and check before filming in the future.

After this scene, Jiang Xun was done.

But because of the sudden situation, the celebration that was originally prepared for Jiang Xun could not be held.

After Jiang Xun finished filming this scene, the people that Mufeng had called also arrived.

Jiang Xun and Mufeng partic.i.p.ated in the investigation together.

Mufeng’s men pulled up the surveillance videos of the prop room and the nearby areas.

He didn’t know when the knife had been replaced or if it was a mistake from the beginning and a sharpened knife had been used.

Therefore, he had to start from the time when the knife was prepared.

This was a huge project.

Most of the people went to check the surveillance cameras.

On the other hand, Mufeng’s men collected the fingerprints on the long knife for inspection.

Through the fingerprints on the knife, he could find the people who had touched the knife.

Three of them were staff members of the props team, and the other one was the actor who had just played the executioner.

The four of them each told him in detail when they touched the knife.

According to the four people’s description, when Mufeng’s men were checking the surveillance cameras, they confirmed that the four of them were not lying based on their descriptions. Hence, they could only continue to watch the footage of the surveillance cameras.

Jiang Xun also helped to take a look. After her brain power was maxed out, she was quite awesome.

She could even watch at it at super high speed without missing any details.

When everyone was only halfway through the surveillance video, Jiang Xun had already finished watching the rest.

“This person.” Jiang Xun brought the surveillance video to Mufeng, Mingguan, and the leader of the props team. “Besides the three colleagues from the props team, this person had also been in the props team.”

“He… He was wearing a baseball cap and a mask, and his head was lowered, so his face isn’t visible at all. I can’t tell if he is a member of the crew or someone who had sneaked in from outside,” The leader of the props team said.

Jiang Xun nodded and zoomed in on the image. “And he was wearing gloves, so his fingerprints weren’t on the long knife.”

“That’s why I’m inclined to think that he’s not a member of the crew, or rather, he’s not from the props team. Instead, he’s an outsider who sneaked in through a loophole,” Jiang Xun said. “It can also be confirmed through the surveillance cameras. Other than this person, only three colleagues from the props team touched the long knife during this period. If the person wearing the hat was one of them, they wouldn’t need to wear a hat and mask to hide themselves at all, because it’s normal for them to go in and out.”

“And they don’t need to wear gloves, because no matter how they touch the long knife, there won’t be a fifth person’s fingerprints on the long knife besides them and the actor. As for whether it’s possible that it’s someone other than the four people who touched the long knife, it’s really hard to say.”

“In a situation where we can’t see his face, we can already eliminate many people by comparing his height and body shape,” Jiang Xun said. “But the fastest way is to a.n.a.lyze his appearance as much as possible.”

Mufeng nodded. “Leave this to me.”

Mufeng asked someone to take a video of this.

One copy was sent to Bingbing.

One was sent to a profiler.

Whether or not they could figure out this person’s appearance would depend on the two of them.

Jiang Xun couldn’t help with the rest, so she went to the RV to sort out the acting skills books for Qiyao.

As for the filming situation, the “My Other Half” section team did not do a livestream.

After the incident, Mingguan immediately sent someone to communicate with Shuli. They were investigating the matter and hoped that the production team would not record it and livestream it.

Therefore, it was only now that the livestream officially cut to Jiang Xun’s side.

[Jiang Jiang, what are you writing?]

[Could she be writing a summary of acting skills for Sister Yao?]

[What kind of friends.h.i.+p is this? She’s writing down her thoughts to Sister Yao right after filming.]

[Jiang Jiang really treats Sister Yao as a friend, so she used her rare break time to write her thoughts on acting.]

[Forget it. Who knows what she’s writing? Don’t write nonsense to lead Zhang Qiyao into a ditch.]

[There’s so much compet.i.tion in this industry. Jiang Xun might really use this opportunity to do something to Zhang Qiyao. Zhang Qiyao’s fans should be more careful and remind Zhang Qiyao not to trust Jiang Xun so much. I don’t want her to take the wrong path and let her acting skills decline instead of improving, which will affect her performance on set later.]
