The police badge is restarting! Number 89757! Officer Guan, welcome back to the team!
Twenty years ago, his father died in the line of duty and his badge was archived; twenty years later, Gua...
Guan Feng looked at Zhou Huai.
Zhou Huai nodded and said, "There were cameras on set, and no one touched the props from the moment they were brought on stage until they were used."
Guan Feng asked, "Do these props need to be checked regularly?"
Wang Sanshi nodded and said, "Of course, we have dedicated prop inspectors. This person was also taken away for investigation by your criminal investigation team, but it seems they didn't find anything wrong."
Zhou Huai added, "I know about this. The props staff were taken away for investigation, but we didn't find anything unusual. All the lists are recorded. The arrows at the time had their arrowheads wrapped in tin foil and were made of soft plastic. We checked the order records, and that's how they were shipped from the manufacturer."
Guan Feng asked, "And what about this person?"
Zhou Huai said, "We checked and found nothing wrong, so we released him."
Guan Feng nodded and looked at Wang Sanshi, asking, "Brother Wang, could you show us the footage we took back then? We want to confirm the scene; maybe we can find something."
Wang Sanshi said, "No problem, I'll have someone bring them to you. Xiao Qing, bring those master tapes over here."
Xiao Qing reminded him, "Director, these are the master tapes; they can't be shown to outsiders. If they leak out, it will affect the entire series..."
Wang Sanshi said, "Xiao Guan would never cheat me. Just take what I tell you to take."
Xiao Qing was somewhat reluctant to take it.
A moment later.
Related videos were brought up.
Guan Fengchong said to Wang Sanshi, "Brother Wang, how about this? We'll just copy some clips of the relevant videos for a few of us to watch. We absolutely won't let them circulate, so as to avoid any impact on your TV series filming."
Wang Sanshi said, "That would naturally be the best."
Guan Feng took the video recorder, pressed the play button, and started playing the video.
The first video played was of someone being shot by an arrow.
The villain fired an arrow, which pierced through Li Ge's double and knocked him off his horse. However, the people on the scene quickly realized something was wrong and rushed forward to check. Amidst the exclamations, medical personnel entered the scene to stop the bleeding.
Guan Feng focused on observing the reactions of the crowd, as well as the scene of the villain shooting.
After a moment, he seemed to notice something amiss. He rewound the relevant footage three times in a row, paying close attention to the villain's every move. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Where is Wu Xian now?"
Wang Sanshi looked at his assistant and asked, "He should be on this floor too, right? He also lives in a penthouse suite. I gave them two days off these past two days, but I don't know if he has left yet."
Guan Feng said to Liu Keming and Zhou Huai, "Find this Wu Xian first!"
Looking at Guan Feng's appearance, Liu Keming realized something was wrong and immediately said, "Alright, let's ask him about the situation first."
Guan Feng stood up and said to Wang Sanshi, "Brother Wang, that's enough for today. We'll contact you again if there are any developments. After the case is solved, we'll go to the antique street together."
Wang Sanshi smiled and said okay, then got up to see the group off from the suite.
Squeak!
The suite door was closed.
Liu Keming asked seriously, "Xiao Guan, have you discovered something?"
Guan Feng said, "In the video just now, Wu Xian frowned while shooting, and his expression was obviously puzzled. I watched it three times. This expression only appeared for a moment when he touched the arrow. It was a subconscious reaction, which means that he must have noticed something unusual at that time."
Liu Keming looked slightly surprised.
He watched the video while it was playing, but he didn't notice such a small detail.
Is this what makes a provincial-level expert so powerful?
He patted Guan Feng on the shoulder and said, "In that case, let's find out Wu Xian's suspicions."
The three men led the members of the Third Squadron to another suite on the top floor.
Although Wu Xian plays a villain in this drama and his popularity cannot be compared with that of a first-tier star like Li Ge, he is a genuine second- or third-tier star in China. His status is no less than that of the male lead in some other dramas, and his annual income is at least tens of millions. Owning an apartment is a basic requirement for him.
Guan Feng and his group arrived at the door of the suite.
Knock knock knock!
Guan Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Squeak!
The suite door was opened.
A girl who looked like an assistant opened the door, looked at the group, and asked, "Who are you?"
Guan Feng showed his credentials and reminded them, "We're from the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Team. We're here to investigate the arrow stabbing case from a couple of days ago. Where is Wu Xian? We need to find him and ask him some questions."
The assistant shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Wu Xian hasn't come back yet."
Guan Feng asked, "Didn't come back? What do you mean?"
The assistant said, "Wu Xian, he..." but then stopped himself from speaking.
Seeing this, Guan Feng reminded him, "The case is currently in the intense investigation stage. Any problems could affect the case. I need to remind you to cooperate with our investigation. Otherwise, if the case is delayed, you won't be here, but back at the bureau for investigation."
The assistant sighed and said, "I...I know, I want to cooperate too, but Wu Xian went out last night and hasn't come back. Why don't you wait a bit?"
Guan Feng asked, "Did they say where they were going?"
The assistant glanced at Guan Feng, initially wanting to hide the truth, but seeing the man's all-seeing gaze, he sighed and said, "He said he'd been feeling down for two days, so he went to a bar and ran into two friends."
Guan Feng asked, "Then we don't even know where he is now?"
The assistant hesitated before saying, "It's...it's in the room downstairs."
"The room downstairs?"
Guan Feng was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "In that case, you take us there."
The assistant pleaded, "Please keep this a secret."
