Even though none of this has anything to do with Ye Fan right now, he still questions the identities of these four people.
After completing the food on the plate, Ye Fan sat for a few more minutes before leaving the table, not wanting to appear suspicious.
Hotel staff has warned everyone and asked guests not to leave the room unless they have an urgent need to do so. There were also additional police officers in the passageway. It appeared that the situation was pretty serious. The so-called rumors were quite likely to be genuine.
The 7th floor of the elevator has been branded as forbidden from usage, whereas the remaining floors have not yet been affected.
When Ye Fan returned to the room, the little company was already quite energetic.
In the information era, news spreads extremely quickly. Jinshitan is well-known throughout the country. The occurrence of such a case drew considerable attention. Although the specifics remain unknown, rumors are already circulating.
The four women, including Lu Siyu, forwarded a large number of communications, the most of which originated from popular community forums. Some said that the deceased was Korean, that he was raped and killed, and that a meeting of Korean gangs in China caused a fire. It is claimed to be an underground snobbish conflict between China and South Korea.
In conclusion, despite the police issuing a statement urging everyone not to believe or spread rumors, people's enthusiasm for eating melons did not diminish. The most of this appears to be made up, although Ye Fan believes there is some really credible material.
Just as Ye Fan was browsing through his phone, a text message appeared. Dongdong's local warehouse delivers orders quickly. The deliveryman delivered the products at ten a.m. and requested him to go down and sign for them.
Although he cannot leave the hotel for the time being, he can still pick up a courier at the door; however, the contents of the package must be scrutinized by two police officers at the door.
Naturally, a brand-new, unopened PC and an empty backpack passed the test with ease. After returning to the room, Ye Fan installed the appropriate software and uploaded a copy of the girls' images from his phone to the website provided by Luo Changhao.
Ye Fan has visited the page multiple times over the last two days. The most of the posts are difficult to understand, as is English, but he read a few. The network disk function on our website is really simple to utilize. Because he was invited to join by Luo Changhao, he immediately received the status of a senior user, with 200G of network storage space, and VIPs above that must pay. The most common VIP1 is US$10 per month, while VIP5 costs US$50. These users can enter other parts to chat, and they have more storage space. As a premium user, Ye Fan can only join the public part, post once, and leave messages five times each day.
Unfortunately, it does not accept standard domestic payment methods.
Ye Fan looked at Luo Changhao's account at the time, and it appeared that it did not belong to any of the levels, but rather had a "CC2" designation, indicating a special level such as "community contributor".
The hotel's Internet speed is extremely fast. After completing these tasks, there is still some time before lunchtime. He accessed the web version of the forum on his computer and began reading.
At this point, surprising news surfaced unexpectedly and rapidly on the forum homepage.
This post is about a variety of topics, not just this one.
The billboard claimed to be an entertainment reporter and revealed that Cheng Xiao, a member of the Cosmic Girls, had lately discreetly returned to China and was in talks with a domestic entertainment business to act as a TV series heroine. It was billed as a negotiation, but in reality, SE Company had already negotiated the price, and Cheng Xiao and others were just used as bargaining chips to sleep with him.
Later, the person displayed additional images, including those of two women and one male clearing customs, leaving the airport, and checking into the hotel, as well as a brief video. Although it was difficult to tell because the two ladies were wearing masks in most of the images, Ye Fan was certain that the person in the shot was the Cheng Xiao he had seen.
He even pulled out a Korean-language recording. He also offered the translation below. It was supposed to be a tape of SE Company's supervisor making a phone call. Essentially, the investor requested that Cheng Xiao come to China to "play with him" by name, and the management discussed the details after obtaining the instructions from above.
This translation has also been confirmed by netizens who understand Korean listed below, and there is no error.
He then claimed that the murder was the result of something going wrong in the final phase. According to the unspoken laws of the Korean entertainment industry, sleeping with idols does not require prior notice, let alone consent. Anyone asked by the company to accompany them will be transported immediately there. In China, this is a three-party transaction, but in South Korea, it is between entertainment firms and officials.
The problem is here. Cheng Xiao, as a Chinese, rejects South Korea's unspoken reasoning and refuses to make such sacrifices simply to star in a low-budget film. The other person is still a middle-aged male. Executives.
The billboard even shared images of Cheng Xiao and the boss eating and playing together. This time, everyone in the images revealed their faces. Ye Fan was surprised to see that one of the images was taken in the hotel's private room last night.
Of course, the aforementioned are only foreshadowing; what truly surprised everyone was the content.
According to this person, SE issued an ultimatum to the portfolio's brokers and supervisors last night, requiring the transaction to be completed. So the investor obtained the room key and broke into her room while intoxicated, planning to grab it by force. Ultimately, Cheng Xiao was strangled to death amid the furious resistance.
This post soon spread throughout the forum, and many other communities reprinted it.
Soon, good technical netizens studied multiple interview recordings of the supervisor and concluded that the individual in the clip had a high possibility of being the supervisor himself.
Ye Fan examined the recordings and discovered that it was the tall man who appeared alongside Cheng Xiao and another woman. Ye Fan heard him talk a few times and even had a brief conversation, and his voice was quite similar to the one in the recording.
Naturally, there is no need to discuss the more intense scolding war between supporters and anti-fans. The majority of fans are still focused on the final segment.
Although the previous information cannot be considered definitive evidence, save for followers of Korean idols, everyone is familiar with the Korean entertainment industry, and what the poster supplied is sufficient to persuade the people. However, the more bombshell revelations that followed gave little evidence and much more information, leaving everyone unsure whether it was true or not, as well as casting doubt on the poster's identity.
Some others even created articles on other community sites, arguing that if this information is correct, the poster could be the murderer.
Simultaneously, it fueled conjecture about the investor's identity.
Because things are happening in Lianhai, it's natural to think about the big players there. However, the investment requirement for internet dramas is low. There are so many people who satisfy the standards that you nearly have to guess blindly, thus those who make a fuss about this feature Not too much.
More others simply stated that they couldn't believe the substance in the second half. After all, nothing about these allegations can be validated.
Later, other forum managers noted that, while the first half of the proposal to sleep with him may be true, this is China, not South Korea. In addition to SE, Cosmic Girls incorporates components of Lehua Entertainment. Because the domestic circle has so many resources, it is often rather attractive. Even if idols refuse to devote themselves, they will be unable to obtain extra high-quality resources, which is improbable. Finally, use your strength. If Cheng Xiao refuses to sign this agreement, he will not be able to land the main part and his status in the squad will be decreased. The second half should not be trusted unless police provide further details.
Many individuals also agree with this opinion. Both melon eaters and Cheng Xiao fans may generally accept this remark.
In short, the overall popularity skyrocketed.
The most pressing issue right now, and the one that Ye Fan is most concerned about, is Cheng Xiao's condition. However, about an hour after the first post was made, neither the police nor SE authorities had responded. The forum administrator deleted the post after it received enough attention, but the message had already propagated over the Internet.
Ye Fan last saw Cheng Xiao when he picked up the car last night about ten p.m. Looking back, the other party's situation was clearly anomalous. His initial emotion when he saw him park his automobile was panic. At the time, he assumed it was a girl's instinct at night, but now he realizes he is in a quandary. Maybe he didn't return to the hotel so late because he was struggling, or maybe he had a premonition about something.
At this point, Ye Fan's Penguin account sounded a prompt, and it turned out that Xia Sihong and Gong Shizheng had asked him to lunch. I had just concentrated on eating the fruit and felt nothing, but suddenly I was quite hungry. Ye Fan closed the computer lid and walked out of the room.
The other two people have already taken their seats in the restaurant. Because inhabitants are not permitted to leave for the time being, there are far more individuals there than usual.
After casually ordering three dishes and one soup, a few folks sat around and began talking about what had transpired today.
The previous post that Ye Fan viewed has been disseminated. Xia Sihong and Gong Shizheng both support the large man's statement. However, because they are at the site of the crime, they can naturally detect differences in the surrounding environment.
The hotel service personnel reported the crime, and they had already leaked a lot of information before the police arrived. Although the police asked all insiders to keep the knowledge discreet, the best they could do was prevent it from spreading. Under no circumstances could the spread of information within the hotel be entirely prevented.
"I was chatting with a hotel security guard in the morning, and I found out that the person who died was indeed a Korean woman, but it seemed that she was not strangled to death, but suffocated by a pillow." Gong Shizheng has a knack for getting along with everyone. It's not unexpected that you can pull anything out in one morning.
"You cannot believe everything they say. When something is reproduced three times, it rarely resembles its original appearance." Xia Sihong swallowed the bacon in her mouth, unsure whether she believed these comments.
