Chapter 90

Everyone's story line has been clarified, and the old demon king's death has been clarified based on the clues found at the scene. By comparing it with a poison book in the classics collected by the old demon king, it can be learned that he died of poisoning.

Following the clues in the Poison Sutra, they found the white flower planted by the old demon king in his cave. By testing the flower with blood, they found out that the poison in the old demon king's body was the side effect of the Dao Yun he had snatched from Huan Bailian and forcibly refined - the lotus toxin.

Dao Yun extended the Black Water Demon King's life by 50 years, but the last ten years would cause him doubly much pain, until the lotus poison spread throughout his body, causing him to die in excruciating pain.

The only two people in the field who can use their own demonic power to activate the same lotus toxin are the two lotus monsters.

Finally, it’s time to vote for the murderer.

The camera first turns to the detective. Due to the presence of the lotus poison, Qin Dongxiao's target is also locked on the twin lotus brothers: "Is it a white lotus or a red lotus?

Qin Dongxiao rubbed his chin, his gaze hesitated between the two for a moment, and finally raised his hand and pointed at the image of Xingchen wearing a golden mask... and Taoist Chu next to him.

"It's not because of my bias towards Director Huan. Let me explain. Huan Bailian has formed alliances with several demon kings. It's obvious that he doesn't want to do it himself. This makes sense. His own fighting power is currently very low. Even if the old demon king is dying, he can still be killed easily. With all the foreshadowing above and three backups ready to help him at any time, I don't think he should put himself in danger."

"As for Xing Honglian, since he wants to retrieve Dao Yun for his brother, then before Dao Yun is taken back and his brother's essence is restored to its fullness, no matter how much he hates Heishui, he has a reason not to die."

"So I cast my two votes for Taoist Master Chu."

"I randomly selected one of the remaining few. While this round is regrettable, I have to admit that our Truth Society may not have discovered the crucial item."

"Let me digress here. Xing Honglian's idea of ​​being protected by her brother and wanting to protect him in return is not wrong in itself."

"Robbery is wrong. I just hope everyone remembers that we live in a society ruled by law. If you do encounter a robbery, remember to ask for help from Uncle Hat immediately. Uncle Hat and the robot patrol officer will give us justice."

"Don't let yourself get caught up in this because of an impulse."

Why do I like Lao Qin? Even though he's usually a bit careless, he's a good uncle with a very positive outlook when it matters. It's strange, why do I call him uncle?

[Also, Lao Qin, stop doing those weird things. Your coolness lasts only three seconds. No wonder you have the fewest girlfriend fans.]

…

The rest of the people voted in turn.

The last few guests reunited in the lobby.

Reveal the answer.

There are 7 votes in total.

The person who was the first to be safe but did not get any votes actually got 0 in this round.

There are three people who received one vote: Huan Bailian, Xing Honglian, and Wan Xiaoxiong.

The two people who received two votes were Taoist Master Chu and Spider Wu.

Another draw.

【And the votes were very scattered.】

[By the way, who did Sister Wu choose just now? Let's try some elimination before we figure it out.]

[I remember the bamboo shoot fight above, but it doesn't mean much. Sister Wu chose Star Red Lotus, which Lao Qin and I eliminated long ago.]

In summary, Wu Qianying voted for Xing Honglian, Wan Zijia voted for Huan Bailian, and Qin Gugu's two detectives randomly voted for Taoist Chu.

Because of the lack of key clues, Huan Bailian and Xing Honglian could only vote for Wu Zhuzi and Wan Xiaoxiong based on their intuition.

In the event of a tie, the detective had the final say. Looking at Wu Qianying on the left and Chu Fan on the right, Qin Dongxiao raised his hand and said, "Then I'll stick with my original idea."

There are 6 people in total. Excluding himself as the detective and the Twin Lotus brothers who seem to have the greatest relationship but actually have no sufficient reasons for killing the old demon king prematurely, the remaining three people have a 1/3 probability of choosing the right answer.

"Congratulations to Qin Gugu for choosing the wrong answer for everyone!"

In this episode, the famous detective Chu Fan won the title of scapegoat, and the real murderer was the guest Fenghuo artist Wan Zijia.

Director Chen's voice behind the scenes reminded: "The key prop that the detective and the other guests missed is the important clue in the Black Water Demon King's room: the bowl containing the broth."

According to the book on poisons, lotus toxin is a chronic poison. However, there are several medicines that will aggravate the onset of lotus toxin when taken together with it. The old demon king died from the bowl of poisonous soup he drank before going to bed.

According to the rules of the script, the bowl containing the poisonous soup must be placed in the old demon king's room so that the guests can discover it later.

However, there is no requirement on where this key prop is hidden. The murderer can set up the scene in three minutes, hide and disguise this key prop, and create an environment that is favorable to him.

"So, where did you put the bowl, Brother Wan? It seems like we've searched the old demon king's cave thoroughly, but we haven't found the bowl at all."

Wan Zijia smiled and said, "It's far away in the horizon, yet it's right before our eyes."

Following the direction of his finger, everyone looked over. On the table was a pot of flowers. It was the same white flower they had used when the old demon king was poisoned. They had brought it over with the pot and soil, but in the end, they only used a few leaves.

Wait, a flower pot?

It's not a basin, it's clearly a bowl!

"Oh my god, it's been passed through several of our hands, and no one noticed!"

"It's really so far away, yet so close at hand."

Chu Fan sighed, "Sure enough, the most dangerous place is the safest place. It's darkest under the lamp."

Wan Zijia accepted the medal of honor from the outlaw Wan San, put it on his chest, and said with a smile, "Thank you."

"You're too modest. You played really well." Qin Dongxiao gave him a thumbs up.

Wu Qianying laughed at Detective Qin: "Hahaha, Old Qin, you laughed at me before, but things have changed. This time, you've been fooled by Brother Wan."

"Zijia is really showing off this trick."

The audience in the barrage area also praised Wan Zijia's reverse thinking and unconventional way of hiding clues.

[New idea, no, I have to write this down in a notebook. Next time I play a script-killing game, I have to be careful not to let the murderer mess with me.]

In the final review session, the truth of the story was replayed on the screen in the form of a short film.

Wan Xiaoxiong must kill the old demon king, not only for the position of demon king, but also for his own life.

The old demon king's time is up. In addition to refining the Dao rhyme, he has also made many preparations. Wan Xiaoxiong accidentally discovered that one of them is to repay a life and use the body of a blood relative to revive the soul. Wan Xiaoxiong is the only heir of the old demon king.

[Father is kind and son is filial (bushi). 】

In addition to discussions about the script and the murderer, the audience also stared at the screen nervously.

[The script-killing game is over, will Teacher Xingchen take off the mask? ]

Fortunately, since he accepted the invitation and came to the scene, a certain brother was already prepared to be exposed. I believe that for those who know him, it doesn’t matter whether he takes off the mask or not. Several people present have already recognized the identity of Teacher Xingchen.

Especially Huan Xu.

At this moment, Huan Xu felt both amused and angry, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of pride in his heart: This is his own child!

However, since I have kept it a secret from my brother for so long, it seems that the child has some thoughts in his mind. I should have a good "talk" with him when I get back.

Teacher Xingchen, or rather, classmate Xiao Gu, at this moment doesn't know what he will face when he returns home.

In order to give the audience an explanation, Gu Chen did not plan to wear the mask on his face all the time.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, at the end of the third episode of The Detective, special guest teacher Xingchen slowly took off the ghost mask on his face.

【Ahhh, Teacher Xingchen has taken off his mask! 】

[Oh my god, Teacher Xingchen is even younger than I thought.]

[Wait, have I seen Teacher Xingchen somewhere? ]

Hey, Teacher Xingchen and Director Huan both look so handsome standing together. It's like the more I look at them, the more they resemble each other in certain ways. Is that the legendary couple look?

[The family members above, please stop talking nonsense. We're not involved in a cult. It's only natural that they look alike. Teacher Xingchen and Director Huan are family. Not only are they brothers in the script-killing drama, they're also brothers in real life!!!]

What the fxxk?

[Is this true? They're actually brothers.]

[Why would I lie to you? When Director Huan was livestreaming the Grandmaster game, my younger brother brought him some fruit. I caught a glimpse of him and thought he looked so handsome. I never thought he was so talented. He's actually the famous Xingchen teacher. He's truly Director Huan's personal assistant and a dear younger brother.]

[The Jupiter CP is gone, but it doesn't matter. The brotherly love between the two lotuses is also very good. It is natural for the elder brother to protect the younger brother, and it is natural for the younger brother to protect the elder brother. ]

[Two talented men from one family, both are my idols. Director Feng’s genes are so strong!]

Knowing the audience's curiosity, after the case was over, the program team added a segment where Director Chen interviewed Teacher Xingchen, also known as Xiao Gu, backstage.

"Teacher Xingchen, could you please allow me to do a short interview of a few minutes on behalf of our enthusiastic audience?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly.

Director Chen blinked and deliberately tried to lighten the mood, "Should I call you Teacher Xingchen, or should I call you Little Boss?"

Gu Chen showed a helpless expression: "Uncle Chen..."

Director Chen patted Gu Chen's shoulder, looked towards the camera, and shared with a tone of pride and a hint of arrogance: "Did you see that, Teacher Xingchen, from our Huo family? I guess everyone in front of the camera must be surprised. To be honest, when I found out Teacher Xingchen's true identity, I almost couldn't help but share it with everyone."

[What I mean by "couldn't help it" is that when Teacher Xingchen appeared, she even had to wear a mask to whet people's appetite.]

【It is well known that Director Chen's words are deceitful.】

Director Chen: "Teacher Xingchen has been hiding your identity. What prompted you to take it off now?"

Gu Chen pursed his lips and said, "Actually, I didn't hide it on purpose. I just didn't find the right time to tell everyone. It happened that at the celebration party last time, I heard my brother said that he wanted to play a script-killing game with Xingchen, so..."

Director Chen: "I see. Teacher Xingchen bravely exposed her horse for her brother. It seems that she and our brother have a really good relationship."

[Oh, Teacher Xingchen blushed.]

【Why is my little brother still shy? Tsk tsk. 】

Director Chen passed the microphone to Huan Xu, who had just walked over and was in the camera, and asked with a smile, "Director Huan probably didn't know Teacher Xingchen's identity before, right?"

Huan Xu smiled like Mona Lisa: "I really don't know anything at all."

[Director Huan is gritting his teeth, it seems he really doesn't know anything!]

[Hahaha, I just noticed it. Director Huan is just as surprised as the other guests.]

[Look at Teacher Xingchen, looking down at her toes with a guilty look on her face. Hhh, if you have the guts to hide it, why not look at the camera now?]

Director Chen obviously noticed that the young boss's back, which had always been straight, had become less straight at some point.

Director Chen blinked, not forgetting to secretly add fuel to the fire: "Brother, you produced such an excellent answer sheet for 'Teacher Xingchen'. I wonder if your big brother has prepared any reward for you when you get home?"

Huan Xu thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Gu with a smile: "Does belt stewed with vermicelli count?"

[That's right, that idiot even lied to his brother. He's really too bad. Director Huan, go back and give Teacher Xingchen a good beating (dog head)]

[That's right, one Dabikou isn't enough, you need two!]

[It would be great if we could livestream Teacher Xingchen being lectured by her brother. I would definitely reward her with fireworks.]

[We should call Director Chen @陈搞事 here, it’s time to get back to work! ]

Of course, when he got home, little Gu did not wait for the vermicelli noodles. Instead, he was greeted by a table full of his favorite dishes.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Gu Chen looked at his father and brother, his lips moving: "Don't you... have anything you want to ask?"

Huan Xu and Professor Gu exchanged a glance. Huan Xu patted the child's shoulder and said with a smile, "Little Gu has grown up. He has become so outstanding in places we can't see. Teacher Xingchen, please give me more guidance in the future."

…

The third season of "The Detective" came to a successful conclusion amidst the barrage of comments from a group of gloating viewers who were eager to watch the fun. At the end of the variety show, Xinghuo also secretly gave a small advertisement for its own director Chen's special project on the beauty of oriental culture.

In addition to the headlines about Teacher Xingchen's true identity being at the top of the hot searches online, Mingtan once again dominated several entries with his strength.

#Xingchen's younger brother#

#fatherkindnesssonfilial piety#

#Brotherly Friendship#

#万迷迷Huan Bailian#

etc.

The audience also had high expectations for Director Chen's "Special Topic on the Beauty of Ancient Culture", which even exceeded Director Chen's own imagination.

The final feature filmed and edited was divided into two episodes, with a total length of more than an hour.

Half of the time was spent on professional explanations and lectures by experts and professors from the Institute of Paleoanthology, while the other half was spent on inviting actors from Xinghuo to play some small games and engage in some interesting interactions.

For example, there was the sentence segmentation that Director Huan had previously guided everyone to do, and there were several educational game segments that Director Chen and experts from the Institute of Ancient Studies jointly researched and ultimately decided upon.

Simpler ones include idiom chain games and one word with two meanings.

The program team was also very "thoughtful" to put the more difficult couplets with higher thresholds for the entire topic at the end of the program. At the end of the special interview, the experts did not forget to leave a few written couplets for the interstellar audience.

It also shifts the interaction from experts and celebrities to the program and the audience, increasing the audience's sense of participation.

At the same time, the program team is also looking for the "couplet king" among the people and sending him a gift package carefully prepared by Xinghuo.

This time, Director Chen did not invite the first-tier artists of Xinghuo, but the second-tier artists who have been recruited and trained since Xinghuo's expansion and are now gradually taking shape. The leaders among them are Ming An and Ning Miaomiao.

They have more or less appeared in Director Huan's dramas, playing leading or supporting roles. Their respective agents have also helped them get roles in some TV dramas that have been released or are about to be released. Although they are not household names in front of the audience, they have become familiar faces.

This is more in line with Director Chen's positioning of this interview, which can be regarded as a "half" variety show with some popular science and a certain amount of playfulness.

It's enough to let those who are interested come in to learn some knowledge, have a laugh together, do a few questions, and occasionally play a round or two of the chain game while chatting with friends.

But even Director Chen himself had not imagined that his first independently shot hit would come so quickly and so fiercely.

Yes, the beauty of oriental culture has become popular at a speed that even Director Chen himself could not have imagined.

Netizens: "Great, buy 1 get 1 free."

"Keep up the spark, buy one get two free is pretty good too."

"Stop talking nonsense for now. I guarantee with my life that this interview is really interesting."

"I hope there will be more meaningful interviews like this in the future."

"I have a new respect for Lao Chen."

Thanks to the hot topic initially started by Huan Xu, he is still active in the community today. With the recommendations of fellow enthusiasts who study new punctuation together every day, the popularity of the beauty of oriental culture has skyrocketed with just a little advertising by the famous detective.

In addition, the topic itself is not particularly profound, the experts' in-depth and easy-to-understand explanations and the real and interesting play of several celebrities have made these two episodes of "Language-Literature" shot by Director Chen win unanimous praise from the audience.

If there is anything that is lacking, it is that it is too short!

The two episodes together lasted only an hour.

[Director Chen, please shoot more.]

Just this pitiful hour, 60 minutes, 3600 seconds, who are you looking down on? Come and take my time and life away, let us immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Eastern language!

However, no matter what the audience says, it’s done.

Director Chen also took to his own blog to earnestly explain: "Thank you for your interest, but this feature ends here. If I continue filming, it will probably be a waste of time. I apologize to everyone. My original intention was to throw out some ideas like Director Huan did. If I can spark some interest in ancient Eastern languages, that's enough."

Upon hearing this, the audience said one by one: "Although Director Chen's words are very truthful, I don't listen. I don't care what he continues. As long as it can be continued, it's fine."

"Like Director Chen said, it's just a special feature. We can make a series, for example, about Western classical language or the profound poetry and culture that flashed by in this special feature. All of these are fine. I'm not picky."

"As a director of Xinghuo, Director Chen, you should step up quickly and emulate Huan Daodao. Don't forget the hardworking spirit of our Xinghuo. Shoot, shoot, and shoot!"

Soon, new settlements emerged next to the Broken Sentences settlement: the Brothers Settlement, the Idiom Chain Settlement, and the "What Do You Mean?" Settlement.

As for the topic left by the experts at the end of the special topic, and the derived "Searching for the King of Folk Couplets" activity, even though the threshold for requirements is higher, not only a high cultural background is required, but also the "six" principles of equal number of words, relevant content, equivalent parts of speech, symmetrical structure, corresponding rhythm and harmonious prosody are emphasized, it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of netizens.

Some people participate simply because they like the competition, while others fight hard for the prizes for the top three places.

The gift package, jointly provided by Spark Entertainment, Qinqiang Real Estate, the Institute of Ancient Studies, and other sponsors, is enough to bring tears of envy to one's lips. Isn't it just a couplet? Who isn't a descendant of our ancestors? We carry their blood, and we can definitely do it!

Weiyang Street One-Day Tour Ticket: Free admission to all attractions on Weiyang Street.

A series of commemorative gifts provided by Xinghuo.

And the hardest to get tickets for the script-killing drama "All Living Things".

Although in addition to online script-killing games, there are many franchised script-killing stores offline, but the only place that has the opportunity to collect medals and become a flying guest to join the recording of the famous detective program is the Zhongshengxiang opened by Director Huan himself on Weiyang Street.

Every time you grab a ticket, it is like a game and a fight. It is a competition between hand speed and internet speed, and it is also a huge explosion of character and luck.

Now there is such a way, which does not require fast internet speed, hand speed, good character or luck, and even a poor person can do it.

The King of Pairs tests one’s brain and IQ, and competes with one’s strength and foundation.

If you don't take action now, when will you?

…

In the office, Director Zheng looked at Director Chen, who was constantly browsing the audience comments, with amusement: "Well, I told you, you can do it."

Director Chen smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you all for coming."

Director Zheng: "This topic is quite popular right now. Do you plan to continue filming?"

Director Chen shook his head and said, "I don't have any good ideas yet. Instead of shooting haphazardly just for the sake of popularity, why not just leave it here? If there's a chance, maybe there will be a second part."

"Besides, my energy is limited. Unlike Director Huan, I can't do two things at once. I'm afraid I won't be able to do either well. Besides, we're about to start inviting guest stars and preparing for filming for the fourth episode of Detective Stars."

"The Detective" is a very important program not only for Director Chen himself but also for the current Xinghuo.

Because of Ming Tan, Director Chen got involved in variety show shooting for the first time and found what he really liked. Ming Tan is the undisputed ace of the Xinghuo Variety Show Department and is also the sharpest knife for Xinghuo to enter the variety show market.

The results and responses of the first three episodes are so good. What Director Chen needs to do now is not to strive to shoot more amazing program effects, but at least the level cannot be lower than before.

"The audience's eyes are sharp."

If the director is not careful, he is not fooling the audience, but deceiving himself.

Data will teach him how to behave.

Seeing that his old partner was thinking clearly and not getting carried away by the popularity of a special topic, but instead being more down-to-earth, Director Zheng raised his hand and patted Director Chen on the shoulder: "Good brother, do a good job in the variety show department. Of course, I won't be far behind and will catch up with you soon."

Director Zheng's new drama has been completed and is currently in the final stage of editing. He believes that he has done the best he can. No matter what the final result of the film is, at least for Director Zheng, he has learned a lot and gained a lot of insights during the filming process, and that is enough.

The next work will definitely be better.

While Director Chen was carefully selecting the guest stars for the new episode of "The Detective", Yan Ze was also waiting in the office.

"Xingchen has participated in Mingtan, so Taixing should be the next one."

We are all film critics, and I believe that Director Chen, who was entrusted with an important task by Huan Xu, is not a person who favors one over the other.

The author has something to say:
