660 Chapter 660 suspicion
The people in the reception room discussed for a while. The person who picked up the letters put away the letters and prepared to go to the various departments in the Army to ask if there was any careless policeman who left the chief’s address and phone number but forgot to write his name.
The movie’s color palette was on the cold side, and the gloominess of the silence had already been visually ‘injected’ into the audience’s first impression. From the opening, it was already a good start, and the quality of the movie had been improved.
When Shu Peien saw this, his originally anxious heart had already returned to its original place.
suspect ” had already started the momentum from the beginning. Some suspicious points were exposed at the beginning without hiding or hiding anything. It could already be seen that Huo Zhiming was in his peak state in the early years. This caused Shu Peien’s expectations for this movie to be much higher.
Tao cen sat beside Huo Zhiming. She had been with the crew the entire time when the movie was being filmed. She knew very well what she had done and what the movie was about.
This scene was also shot with her own eyes, but when these small scenes were strung together, she had never seen the film.
The man on the screen was holding a letter and asking around if anyone had not received any letters recently. Everyone shook their heads when he asked. When he asked about the criminal investigation team, everyone kept shaking their heads. The man took a stack of letters and turned to leave, muttering to himself, ”
“It seems like a prank.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly serious female voice was heard, ”
“What ‘prank’?”
When Shu Peien heard Tao cen’s voice, his spirit was lifted. He subconsciously changed his sitting position and stared at the screen.
Tao cen’s Foundation in her lines was very good. Proper pronunciation and enunciation were the most basic homework. Most importantly, the pitch of her lines followed the character. She had not even appeared in person, but just her one sentence was enough to make people’s imagination run wild.
He could almost picture the person’s personality in his mind. He had a serious face, a woman’s gentleness, but more of the dignity and righteousness of a police officer.
As soon as she finished speaking, the person holding the letter trembled. It was obvious that he had not seen the person who had come and had already recognized the voice. A slightly flattering smile appeared on his face as he turned around and said, ”
“Captain Shen, you’re here.”
The camera followed the man’s gaze and landed on Shen xunran who was behind him. Her long hair was split in the middle and tied into a bun, revealing her fair and beautiful face.
Under the sunlight, her skin was slightly pale, her cheeks were thin, and her lips were tightly pursed, making her look a little serious.
The camera gave her face a close-up, allowing the audience to see her eyes. They were not pure black, but a little light brown. It was as if she could see through people’s hearts with one look, making people subconsciously lower their heads in front of her.
“What ‘prank’?”
She asked again, and the man holding the letter said, ”
it’s like this. Recently, the reception office has been receiving several anonymous letters one after another. I asked around, and everyone said that they weren’t their own. I’m guessing that this is a prank, so I’m going to deal with it later.
Shen xunran was a legend in the Wangjin head office. After she graduated from Police School, she entered the police force and made many outstanding achievements over the years.
In her work, she was like a thunderclap and always kept her word. She had keen observation skills and fearless courage.
In terms of personality, she had the gentleness and meticulousness of a woman, but also the decisiveness of a man. Therefore, her shadow could be seen in all the major and serious cases in the team, and her subordinates were very convinced of her judgment.
“Prank?”
Shen xuanran frowned after hearing the man’s conclusion. She had a feeling that something was not right.
She spread out her hands and gestured for the man to pass her a stack of letters.
“Alright, give it to me first. I’ll think about it later.”
There were a total of six letters with no sender’s or recipient’s signature. The earliest one had been received more than half a month ago. It was definitely not a coincidence to receive so many similar letters in such a short period of time.
Although the people in the communication room thought it was a ‘prank’ at first, there were so many pranks and it was definitely rare for them to make it to the police station.
Even if someone was bold enough to make such a joke with the police, it was not normal to have six letters in a row.
Furthermore, this letter did not have a sender’s address. Other than the recipient, there was no other information. Based on Shen xuanran’s years of experience in solving cases, she felt that there was something strange about this.
The letter was clearly for the head team of Wangjin. Since the name of the person was not written on it and it was obvious that it was sent to the police station, Shen xueran opened the letter after reporting to the higher-ups.
As she had expected, the first letter she opened read was: There were still two months before Wu Chunhe’s death!
The information revealed in this short line of words made people shudder.
The second, third, and fourth letters had the same content as the first one. The only difference was the timing of the notification.
Someone wanted to kill Wu Chunhe and sent this ‘death notice’ to the police in the form of a countdown.
What was this? This was a public provocation. This was arrogance and conceit to the extreme!
As soon as the contents of the letter were announced, the entire Wangjin main team was in an uproar.
Some people laughed, while others taunted, thinking that the sender felt that life was too peaceful and wanted to find something to do.
“Who is Wu Chunhe? Wu Chunhe was president Wu! In Wangjin, who doesn’t know about this place?”
In the main team, a group of people roared with laughter. chief Wu’s business has been doing well these past few years. I guess you’ve offended too many people.
Someone stood beside Shen xuanran and picked up a letter that Shen xuanran had opened. He smiled and said, ”
“However, for such a Big Shot, he doesn’t lack bodyguards and guards. If I really want to kill him, I’m afraid I’ll have to do it sneakily. Now that they’ve made such a big fuss, President Wu isn’t stupid. How can they succeed if they strengthen their defenses?”
Shen xuanran frowned and did not speak. She felt that something was amiss.
A ‘murderer’ who was about to kill someone had the audacity to announce his ‘murder’ plan in the form of a letter or to the police. No matter how one looked at it, it was a little suspicious.
Just as his colleague had said, once the ‘death notice’ was announced, Wu Chunhe had a lot of money. The government also valued entrepreneurs like him, so they would naturally give him some protection. The public would also pay more attention to this matter. The possibility of the ‘murderer’ behind this being successful after the news was exposed was very low.
Why would ‘he’ do this?
Rationally, Shen xuanran shared the same opinion as her colleagues. They all believed that the writer was ‘too stupid’. It was very likely that the writer had taken revenge and played a prank on others to vent his anger.
However, Shen xuanran instinctively felt that there was a big problem.
On the surface, the letter didn’t reveal much information. The number of words in the letter itself was also controlled within a certain range, and the paper used was also cut out of ordinary A4 paper, so as not to leave any clues for the police as much as possible.
The person who could do all this should be quite vigilant and have a certain ability to resist detection. In contrast to ‘his’ seemingly ‘rash’ actions, there were contradictions in the details.
However, the letter was not without ‘flaws’. It was handwritten and the sender had deliberately hidden his personal information while leaving his own handwriting behind. Shen Xun ran felt that’ he ‘was provoking the police.
She decided to investigate the origin of these letters.
Although the paper had been cut and it was difficult to find the source, she still asked someone to compare the handwriting to see if it was from the same person.
Based on handwriting identification, one could determine if the writer was faking or copying the letter from the writing habits and handwriting characteristics.
On the other hand, after Shen xuanran reported to her superior, she was ready to investigate whether Wu Chunhe had offended anyone recently.
At this point, the atmosphere of the movie was already very strong, leaving behind many doubts and piquing people’s interest.
In contrast to the people in the cinema who had just been interested, Tao cen was distracted.
She was a little anxious, but there was no reason for it. She was still resisting, unwilling to admit it.
Huo Zhiming had used the scene to the extreme. With the cooperation of the actors, the story was told in an orderly manner. Compared with his works in recent years, it was simply a surprise.
However, Tao cen could not remain calm. Up until now, the movie had given her the feeling that it was paving the way for the ‘suspect’ played by Jiang se. She believed that she was not the only one in the cinema. Many people, like Tao cen, were feeling uneasy about the appearance of the ‘suspect’ behind the scenes. At the same time, they were also looking forward to it.
Even before he appeared, his emotions had already been stirred up. Even Tao cen was not spared from falling into the ‘trap’ that Huo Zhiming had created. One could imagine how the other audience members who were watching the movie felt at that moment.
After an in-depth investigation, the police found out that Wu Chunhe had offended many people.
In his early years, he was a government official. After he resigned, his business failed at first. Then, Dongshan Mountain Rose again and he founded a company. Now, he had become the leader of the businessmen in Wangjin city. His family and business were big, and it was inevitable that many people were jealous of him.
Shen xuanran looked at the file and listed a few people who had the deepest grudges with Wu Chunhe and were likely to take his life. One of them was a woman named ‘Su Yi’, who caught Shen xuanran’s attention.
Su Yi, ancestral home, No. 167, Qingshui Road, Chang Heng Street, Wangjin city. 28 this year.
This woman, Su Yi, was born in Wangjin. Her encounter with Wu Chunhe came from her father.
Back then, because of Wu Chunhe, her father had to bear a huge debt for no reason. In the end, he was unable to repay it and hung himself.
The SU family was poor to begin with. After his father passed away, the pillar of the family fell, and his brother was seriously ill and unable to be treated, so he also passed away.
In order to pay off her debts, her mother worked day and night. In the end, she died of fatigue at home.
Despite her family’s financial situation at a young age, she did not fall from grace. Instead, her results were excellent, and she managed to get into the top University in China during her college entrance examination before leaving Wangjin.
During her university days, she was also an influential person in the school. She had outstanding grades, was beautiful, and had outstanding abilities.
These few words seemed to have summed up some of Su Yi’s personality.
After knowing that Shen xuanran was going to investigate Wu Chunhe’s ‘death notice’ case, the head of the Wangjin unit asked for Su Yi’s information from the imperial capital and sent it to Shen xuanran.
“Su Yi.”
Shen xuanran frowned as she flipped through the file and mumbled the girl’s name. Her eyes fell on the photo of Su Yi.
This photo should have been taken when he was in school. Even though it was in the form of an ID photo, it could be seen that it had been taken for a few years, but it was still very outstanding.
The girl in the photo had bright eyes and white teeth. She was smiling at the camera. This kind of ID photo was quite a test of the face. Most beautiful women might not be able to withstand the camera’s criticism, but she looked beautiful in the photo. She was indeed worthy of the word ‘beautiful’ in the information.
However, for some reason, even though the girl in the photo was smiling, the color of the photo had changed, perhaps because the photo was taken a long time ago. No matter how well-preserved the file was, Shen xuanran felt that her smile gave her goosebumps.
She kept frowning as she wanted to see what was hidden in the girl’s eyes. It could be said that Wu Chunhe had something to do with the death of her family. In fact, if there was anyone who hated Wu Chunhe so much that they wanted to kill him, it would be Su Yi.
“Get someone to scan this photo and Zoom in. Let me see Yingluo.”
Su Yi had returned from his studies and was working in the capital city after graduation. From the location, she seemed to have been cleared of suspicion.
“Captain Shen, if you want to see her, why do you need to go through so much trouble?”
The person who brought the documents over laughed when he heard Shen xunran’s words.
we’ve been keeping an eye on Su Yi ever since you gave us your orders. A week ago, he applied for leave from the company and bought a plane ticket back to Wangjin. He said he was going to pay his respects to his parents and is now in Wangjin!
The moment she said that, Shen xueran’s expression changed.
At this point, the movie finally got to the point.
Seeing this, Shu Peien’s interest was lifted.
To be honest, Huo Zhiming’s ability to control the camera was still there. The color tone, setting, and other details were all in service of the plot. But what Shu Peien couldn’t figure out was that the plot of the movie didn’t follow the conventional routine.
In most criminal investigation movies, they would put the murder case at the forefront, and then use the silk to find the murderer. The audience would follow the police’s footsteps and the camera to catch the real murderer.
However, Huo Zhiming did the exact opposite. With a few ‘death notices’ that seemed to be true but not true, he put the most straightforward and unrecorded cases in front of the audience. The biggest suspect had been exposed from the beginning.
When Shu Peien saw this, he looked at the time. So far, Huo Zhiming had a good grasp of the plot rhythm, but for suspense movies, the two biggest ‘burdens’ had been revealed by Huo Zhiming at this time. With more than 80 minutes left, how could he capture the hearts of the audience?
