Chereads / Chilling Tale of Perfect Life / Chapter 44 - The Lead from Wei Youfu

Chapter 44 - The Lead from Wei Youfu

"Impossible, who else could they get to be the lead besides me? This crew is so poor, do you think they have money to hire any other actors?" Wu Cheng said with great certainty, " I must get Jiang Yi to come to me personally next time."

He seemed to have thought of something funny, and the corners of his mouth gradually pulled out a smile.

The agent was also very sensible and did not say anything more, and drove Wu Cheng away.

At the shooting site, no one actually cared about Wu Cheng's departure, everyone looked at director Jiang and Han Fei.

The main reason for this is the fact that the person who is in charge of the film is the director, and he has the final say on how the film should be shot.

Although Han Fei is only a supporting role, his acting skills have deeply convinced everyone present.

Besides, when the staff and the victim's family were about to clash, it can be said that Han Fei stopped it with his own efforts, and he helped the crew get through a difficult time.

"Han Fei, I know you have a point, and your insistence is not wrong, but it is not a violation of principle for you to back off momentarily."

" This is not a matter of whether it is a principle or not." Han Fei shook his head and prepared to leave, "You will understand after a while."

Watching Han Fei leave, the staff and Jiang Yi who were present felt very sorry for him, and the executive who had been intimidated by Han Fei even chased after him to try to retain him.

Although Han Fei was not a star, it was clear from the way everyone treated him and Wu Cheng, that the cast and crew had more respect for Han Fei.

"I now know why he's so good at acting but has never been famous." The actress who played Wei Youfu's wife looked at Han Fei with a lot of feeling, "When the water is so clear, there will be no fish, his character offends people too easily."

"At his age to have such acting skills, coupled with his persistence and character, the future of such an actor will soar once he seizes the opportunity to prove himself, an actor like Wu Cheng, who barely became a fourth-tier star with the company on his back, is not comparable to Han Fei at all." Jiang Yi said in front of the staff only after Han Fei had left.

"Director, cough cough, pay attention, we still have to rely on Wu Cheng's company for this movie." The camera director pretended not to hear Jiang Yi's remark just now.

"Let's wrap up, let's stop filming for the time being, and grab the script to discuss." Jiang Yi started to go and tidy up the messy filming location.

"Director Jiang, are we not going to make a phone call to Wu Cheng?"

" Why call? I only let him play the lead role for the sake of the investors, and he withdrew voluntarily that's just right." Jiang Yi looked at Han Fei's departure from the building and said, "In fact, I have a good candidate in my mind, it's a pity ..."

...

Han Fei has some blood on his head and face, at this time he looks a little distressed.

After walking out of the filming site of the Flower of Evil, there was a burst of laughter from across the street.

A fine-looking male actor, surrounded by people around him, walked out from the urban secret love shooting site, and they seemed to have come out specifically to see the fun.

"Brother Zifeng, that's Han Fei, I heard that he left our company and then started to work as an actor."

"Why should I bother? What's wrong with doing a good job behind the scenes?"

"He just joined the Evil Flower crew, and someone came here to cause trouble, and the whole shooting of the movie was affected. This person, Han Fei, I've had contact with him, he's not a bad person either, he's just unexplainably unlucky."

"That's good for us! Even "Flowers of Evil" is only somewhat likely to compete with us in the current session, and now that this unlucky person has gone over to wreak havoc on them, we are probably destined to be number one in the current session."

A few people from the cast and crew of "Urban Secret Love" heard the noise on the street and ran out to watch.

They saw Han Fei's appearance, and they were all happy.

Han Fei has experienced a lot of such things, so much so that when he hears these mocking words now, his heart does not feel anything at all, and he even feels like laughing a little.

The street lights in the old city shone on the street, the light and shadows were staggering, and a group of people was flirting and laughing under the lights, while Han Fei walked into the darkness of the street corner.

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, and Han Fei stopped in the shadows of the old street and picked up the phone.

"Li Xue?"

"Han Fei, you may have made a big achievement this time!"

""There is some progress in the human jigsaw puzzle case?"" Han Fei listened to Li Xue's tone, there should be something.

"My teacher checked the original case files stored inside, and found a person called Jiang Jiang in the search, this person is not the murderer of the human jigsaw puzzle case, but has been in touch with all the victims! He had appeared in front of the puzzle store, and the surveillance captured Wei Youfu giving him change. He had also met a drunken Gu Ye late at night and recycled Gu Ye's bottle of wine. He also collided with the female anchor Zhang Lingfan outside the big mall and was scolded by Zhang Lingfan in a disgusted manner for a long time ..."

"He is a vagabond who came from another city and has been living in a rotten building in the suburbs, recycling scraps and collecting garbage for a living. This person is mentally challenged, dumb and naive, often bullied by other vagabonds, and the garbage he recycles is always stolen."

"Jiang Jiang will have a particularly good temper, the person is very kind, he does not steal or rob, and even pick up things that should not be picked up, will take the initiative to seek out people in uniform, but he often confused security guards and police, and was therefore cheated by the security guards for the money earned from garbage collection." Li Xue spoke very fast, regardless of whether Han Fei listened clearly: "The twist should start eleven years ago, there was originally a private orphanage on the north street of the old city, the director was on a business trip when his wallet was stolen, there was not much money inside, but all kinds of documents were inside."

"That wallet was found by Jiang Jiang?"

"That's right, Jiang Jiang found the wallet in the trash can, he had no way to enter the high-speed railway station, so he stood by the trash can until the train station staff came. After the director got the wallet back, he felt that Jiang Jiang, although this person is a bit stupid, yet he is honest and reliable, he also wanted to help Jiang Jiang, so he arranged a cleaning job for Jiang Jiang in his orphanage."

"Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, Jiang Jiang didn't work for long, because he was too unclean himself, and his body always emitted a bad odor was fired. The problem is that ever since Jiang Jiang left, there was a child in the orphanage who always said he encountered ghosts at night."

"Ghosts?" Li Xue's words caught Han Fei's attention: "Can we still find that child?"

"That child disappeared, but we found another child who used to live in the same room with him, and the child told us a very scary thing." Li Xue's voice slowed down: "He and the missing child slept side by side on either side of the bedroom and could see each other's beds and under the bed, and the missing child always used to say that there was a ghost hiding under the other child's bed board, and it only appeared in the middle of the night after everyone was asleep."

"What you're trying to convey is that this ghost is Jiang Jiang?" After Han Fei played Perfect Life, his thoughts can already keep up with the criminal police who have a lot of experience in breaking cases: "But something this obvious, the police will definitely suspect Jiang Jiang in the first place."

"The first person the police investigated was Jiang Jiang, but it was difficult to continue the investigation."

"Why? He had an alibi?"

"Because he's dead." Li Xue sent another picture to Han Fei: "This Jiang Jiang is the first victim in the freezer body hiding case."

"He's the homeless man killed by the three Meng brothers?"

"We have no evidence that the three Meng brothers were the murderers, but you had tipped me off that the freezer corpse hiding case was related to the human jigsaw puzzle case, so we retrieved the information about the freezer corpse case and made a shocking discovery." Li Xue sent Han Fei the third picture, it was a photo taken in an abandoned villa, the vagabond Jiang Jiang would have painted a strange painting with a damaged quilt underneath.

There was a black house hidden in the middle of a big black tree, and around that house was drawn a group of children without a head.

"At that time, because of this painting, the police felt that Jiang Jiang, who was mentally challenged, might be a monster with a dark heart, and he was usually suppressing his emotions. But after hearing all that you said today, I realized that this black tree, black house, and the group of children without a head in the surrounding area, just fit those hints you gave me!" Li Xue's voice involuntarily began to speed up again: "a homeless man, he had nothing on him, there is nothing worth plotting, the police think he was killed as per the killer random killing pattern, but actually after seeing this picture I realized that the killer wanted to silence the homeless man Jiang Jiang so he killed him, he may have seen the murderer committing the murder! Even saw something even more horrible!"

"I see what you mean, you feel that Jiang Jiang would go to contact Wei Youfu and the others, he never wanted to try to harm them, but wanted to actually warn and save them!" At this moment Han Fei realized that the human jigsaw puzzle case and the freezer corpse hiding case are so closely linked to each other.

"Do you know what the scariest thing is?"

"What?"

"The murderer of the human jigsaw puzzle case was most likely deliberately letting the mentally challenged Jiang Jiang save people, and he was enjoying the thrill of being let down, being hostile, and being disgusted with his good intentions! Perhaps in the killer's mind, the good people would look the same as Jiang Jiang, with an ugly face, smelling bad and low intelligence." Li Xue's voice became much lower: "Jiang Jiang has not done a single bad thing, he went with the idea of not wanting people to be hurt to alert the victims of the human jigsaw puzzle case, but was met with incomprehension and disgust, except Wei Youfu no one would be willing to approach the dirty guy."

"If a not-so-normal person on the street suddenly came up to me and said I might be killed, then I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it either. This is not at all the murderer taking advantage of human weakness, but knowing that Jiang will fail and deliberately watching the show."

"That's right, the murderer arrogantly thought that everyone would take Jiang Jiang as crazy, but there was one person who made an unexpected move, and that person was Wei Youfu!"

Li Xue finally got to the point: "You asked me to keep an eye on the puzzle store before, I checked all the records, in the vicinity of the puzzle store, in addition to the store owner and staff, Jiang Jiang would be the person who had the most contact with Wei Youfu. Wei Youfu was willing to help Jiang Jiang Jiang also wanted to save him, constantly giving him tips, and eventually Wei Youfu was supposed to be moved. Wei Youfu, who often worked overtime, became strange in his behavior in the last few days before he died, and he went alone twice in a row to a protected ecological forest on the far outskirts of New Shanghai.
