Shen Zheng strode in the corridor with his long legs, followed by Dr. Pei, the recognized mascot of the bureau. He attracted a lot of attention along the way and was simply ostentatious.
But Oliver Pei seemed not to feel these gazes. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all and his steps were still lazy.
Shen Zheng looked back at Oliver Pei. He now only hoped that his subordinates could perform better and not embarrass him in front of the new members.
However, his good wishes were destined to be shattered.
Before Shen Zheng could reach out his hand, the office door banged open from the inside.
A girl rushed out like a cannonball, accurately bypassed Shen Zheng, and gave Oliver Pei a big bear hug.
"Brother Pei, you finally came to our special case team! Wang Qi must be so jealous!"
However, she did not wait for Oliver Pei's response, but instead heard the gloomy voice of her team leader:
"An Xinyao, you are forbidden to make noise in public places. Have you forgotten what I taught you?"
An Xinyao awkwardly let go of Oliver Pei's hand, made faces at Shen Zheng's back and followed Oliver Pei into the office.
She has a petite figure and a sweet face, and her childish behavior makes her look even more adorable.
"If you keep making faces, you'll get ugly." Shen Zheng knew what An Xinyao was up to without turning around. He patted the documents in his hand and said to the people in the office, "It's time to get busy. Cheer up."
"Also, we have a new member joining our group, let's all meet him."
As soon as Shen Zheng finished speaking, someone immediately interrupted him: "What else do you know? You are the only one in our group who doesn't know Doctor Pei."
The person who choked was a woman who was getting water from a water dispenser. She had a gentle and bright face, but her words were completely different.
"Sister Lan, you are ruining Brother Shen's show again," the young man standing next to Qin Qianlan said jokingly, "Please give Brother Shen some face in front of Dr. Pei."
The young man's name is Ji Jie. He is completely opposite to this domineering name. Although he is young, he is very steady and easy-going. He is a typical good guy.
Shen Zheng had nothing to say to his men. He glanced at Oliver Pei, who had been watching the show on the side, and felt that his tall and majestic image had collapsed.
"Okay, since everyone knows each other, there's no need to introduce yourself." Shen Zheng motioned for An Xinyao to pass the information in his hand to everyone, "Let's talk about the case directly."
"Director Zhao has issued a death order this time to solve the case within three days. Don't embarrass our special case team."
As soon as the case was mentioned, the atmosphere in the office immediately became serious, and Oliver Pei then felt as if he had been "really kicked into the special case team."
Shen Zheng wrote down the two keywords "Dong Jing" and "falling from a building" on the whiteboard in his office: "The deceased is Dong Jing, 23 years old, a popular actress. Her body was found by a patrolling security guard in Liyun Community at 6 o'clock this morning, and the security guard then reported the case."
"According to the autopsy report of the medical examiner, the deceased died between 4 and 4:30 this morning. The cause of death was massive bleeding caused by ruptured internal organs, which ruled out the possibility of falling from a building after death."
Ji Jie was a little puzzled: "Falling to death? Isn't this kind of case usually classified as suicide?"
Because the injuries caused by jumping off a building to commit suicide and by being pushed off a building are almost identical, most of these cases will be classified as suicide unless there is very obvious evidence such as signs of a dispute or scars to prove homicide.
"That's true," Shen Zheng affirmed. "There are no obvious injuries on the body of the deceased. Moreover, the deceased has been suffering from online violence in recent months and his mental state is not good. The possibility of suicide is very high."
"But now there are two suspicious people." Shen Zheng waved his pen, "Hua Ling, Lin Min."
"Qian Lan, you are the one who interrogated the person, so you can say something about this."
"I just interrogated Hua Ling for Xiao Li," Qin Qianlan stood up and pointed at the whiteboard with her hand, "Hua Ling, the gold medal agent of Yixing Entertainment, and now she is managing Lin Min."
"This Hua agent appeared at the gate of the deceased's residential complex at 3:50 this morning, and his whereabouts were clearly captured by the surveillance camera."
"But because the residents of this community are all bigwigs who value privacy, there are no surveillance cameras installed except for the community gate and the parking lot. We can only see Hua Ling went to Building C where the deceased lived, and we don't know anything else."
"She entered the community at 3:50 and left at 4:10. According to Hua Ling herself, she went to negotiate with the deceased, but she did not see the deceased."
Hearing this, An Xinyao couldn't help but interrupt: "Going to negotiate at four in the morning?"
"That's right," Qin Qianlan pointed at Lin Min's name again, "Hua Ling said that this was because the deceased called Lin Min around 3:20 and said that he wanted to ruin Lin Min's reputation, so she rushed to the public relations office overnight."
"She didn't say anything else except that she was waiting for her lawyer to arrive."
Ji Jie, who doesn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, was confused: "She believed what the deceased said? Aren't the deceased and Lin Min a couple? How could there be such a big grudge?"
"What couple? They are CP, and it's a hyped CP," An Xinyao corrected, "If you don't believe me, ask Brother Pei."
Oliver Pei, who participated in the program recording, affirmed: "It is hype, but their relationship in private is also close."
Although "Crime Scene" is a more brain-burning variety show, it still can't stop the program crew from hyping up CPs, so Dong Jing and Lin Min, the two most talked-about MCs, were put together.
Intuitive goddess x detail-oriented male god, guess who is who and I'll provide proof. Once this CP was launched, it increased the ratings of the entire program.
Character setting, CP, winning or losing, these are all things that were decided in the script. Even Oliver Pei, an amateur judge with few screen times, got a complete copy.
Everyone is free to express themselves to a certain extent according to the predetermined script, which is the norm in reality shows.
"But according to the call records, the last call made by the deceased was indeed to Lin Min," Qin Qianlan tapped the whiteboard to get the topic back on track, "The time was 3:19 this morning, and the call lasted one minute, which matches Hua Ling's testimony."
Oliver Pei said: "If Hua Ling is not lying, the deceased should have a big secret in his hand."
"From what I know, Hua Ling is not someone who can't sit still because of a few threats."
Qin Qianlan spread her hands and said, "We can only dig deeper later. Yixing has already taken countermeasures. Now Hualing and Lin Min are gone."
"In fact, the bureau only asked these two to cooperate with the investigation. I don't know where the #林旻当时司令# on Weibo came from."
"There are always people who enjoy watching the fun."
After Shen Zheng finished speaking, he began to assign tasks: "Ji Jie, take Xin Yao to Yixing Entertainment and make sure to find out the grudges between the deceased and Hua and Lin, as well as the so-called big news."
An Xinyao has a strong family background. As long as she is included, even a behemoth like Yixing Entertainment will have to give way to the special case team.
"Qian Lan, go investigate the deceased's interpersonal relationships. When Brother Jiang comes back, ask him to help you investigate."
"As for Doctor Pei," Shen Zheng paused, "Please, Doctor Pei, come with me to the crime scene."
Of course, you have to keep newcomers of unknown origin under your own eyes to feel at ease.
Oliver Pei put two fingers together and waved them casually in front of his forehead: "I will obey Captain Shen's orders."
Dr. Pei, Captain Shen.
Polite but unfamiliar.
＊
City B is a typical northern city. November marks the beginning of winter. Today the sky is gloomy and the whole city has become gray. Only the evergreen trees on the roadside stubbornly hold on to the last bit of green.
Oliver Pei was startled by the cold wind as soon as he got off the car. He wrapped his coat tightly, put on the mask and didn't want to talk.
Shen Zheng really wanted to make trouble for him, right?
Shen Zheng, who was being talked about by someone, came out of the guard room and waved to Oliver Pei: "Don't stand there stupidly, let's go."
"This neighborhood has good security," Oliver Pei's voice was muffled by the mask, "It's not easy for Hua Ling to get in."
Liyun Community is located in the city center of City B, where every inch of land is valuable. It has a good location and strong confidentiality, making it the preferred residence for public figures. Hua Ling was able to be let in by the security guard even when she arrived in the early morning, which shows the means of this gold medal agent.
Shen Zheng didn't care: "You can also get the same effect if you bring Xinyao to scan your face some other day."
There was a little more intimacy in their conversation. They had just chatted briefly in the car and finally got beyond being just nodding acquaintances.
Building C, where Dong Jing lived, was not far from the main entrance, and the two of them soon saw the circle of yellow warning tape.
Dong Jing's body had long been lying on the autopsy table in the forensic room. Now all that was left was a piece of ground stained dark red, and a line marking the scene drawn with white chalk.
Compared with the heated discussions online, this scene at this moment further highlights the desolate reality.
A figure in a gray coat squatted outside the cordon, his shoulders shaking, and it was unclear whether he was crying or laughing.
The footsteps of the two people seemed to startle the man. He turned around and revealed a face red from crying.
Oliver Pei paused: "Gao Yun?"
Gao Yun, Oliver Pei had met her several times while recording the show.
She is Dong Jing's agent. She is easily influenced and a little timid. People in the circle are questioning how she managed to bring up such a big star like Dong Jing.
Oliver Pei took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to Gao Yun: "Wipe your tears, it's very cold."
Gao Yun hesitated for a moment and thanked him in a low voice.
"Special Case Team Shen Zheng," Shen Zheng was not as considerate as Oliver Pei. He handed the ID to Gao Yun, "Now please cooperate with the investigation."
Gao Yun forced herself to smile, and only then did she look like an agent: "It's too cold, let's go upstairs and talk."
Shen Zheng immediately caught the hidden message in Gao Yun's words: "You live with Dong Jing?"
"Yes, Jingjing hasn't been in a good condition since last month."
Even an outsider like Shen Zheng knows about this: Lin Min's fans are mostly girlfriend fans and brainless fans. Ever since the scandal between Dong Jing and Lin Min broke out, there has been no end to the negative news and insults about Dong Jing.
Especially after Lin Min's studio hinted that Dong Jing was unilaterally hyping up the company a month ago, Dong Jing was blacklisted by the entire Internet.
"Then you should be paying close attention to Dong Jing. Didn't you notice anything wrong with her yesterday?"
As they were talking, they had already reached the 22nd floor. There was only one resident on this floor, Dong Jing. Gao Yun took out the key and opened the door: "No, she was in good condition yesterday. I don't believe she would commit suicide."
Gao Yun's eyes turned red again when she said this, but she didn't cry this time. Instead, she repeated with a firm tone:
"Jingjing definitely didn't commit suicide."
