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...
Huang Lili shook her head and said, "No! It just felt like... a very normal question."
Guan Feng shook his head, turned the volume up to the maximum, and then said to a certain voice, "Did you notice that the timbre of this voice is a bit special? It's even a little trembling?"
Huang Lili listened carefully, then shook her head and said, "There is a little, but it's not particularly noticeable."
Guan Feng took off his own headphones, handed them over, and said, "Then listen to it again."
Huang Lili took the headphones, put them on in both ears, and with the surround sound, her expression was noticeably different this time. She said, "Captain, this sound is a bit off, it sounds a bit high-pitched!"
Guan Feng said, "Chu Xiaohong's voice wasn't steady before she started scolding her. It was a sign of being rushed into the situation. I ask you, under what circumstances do you think someone would sound insecure? Especially in a situation where they should be reprimanding someone?"
Huang Lili thought for a moment and said, "When there's no reason to make up an excuse?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Cheng An's rank is too low. Logically speaking, Chu Xiaohong's net worth starts at 1 billion. Such a big boss has no need to bother with Cheng An. Even if there is something, she should communicate with Wang Sanshi and vent her anger on Wang Sanshi instead of going to a lowly soldier."
After thinking about it, Huang Lili had to agree, saying, "Captain, you're right."
Guan Feng continued, "Look, when the production team contacted Cheng An, did Wang Sanshi ever step in? It was always the assistant director in charge of props who communicated with Cheng An. This is the proper attitude of someone in a position of power and status. Chu Xiaohong's actions were a bit deliberate and unnecessary, and it made her look cheap."
Huang Lili said, "Captain, after your analysis, I feel like Chu Xiaohong is the suspect."
Guan Feng said, "It's not over yet."
He pressed play again, then paused, and said, "Listen here, doesn't Chu Xiaohong pause noticeably? Especially after Cheng An said that the ledgers were all recorded and that they were checked the night before filming to ensure there were no abnormalities."
Huang Lili listened attentively twice, then nodded and said, "There seems to be some surprise in your tone?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "That's right! Her voice trembled slightly, with a brief pause, clearly indicating a tone of surprise. Why did she pause? A normal person who knows this would obviously question why the arrows, which were checked the night before, had problems the next day. Was the check just a sham? What were the prop masters doing?"
As Huang Lili listened to Guan Feng's meticulous analysis, she nodded and said, "Captain, after listening to your analysis, I feel even more strongly that Chu Xiaohong is the suspect! What normal person would react like this? She actually paused for a moment, completely unprepared for Cheng An's conclusion!"
Guan Feng said, "Give me an earphone. If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Xiaohong will probably try to steer the conversation toward this ledger to see what's going on. Once this kind of question and answer occurs, her suspicion will increase even further!"
Huang Lili nodded and said, "Okay." She handed over an earphone.
Guan Feng took it and listened to it with Huang Lili.
The subsequent audio playback indeed matched Guan Feng's prediction.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Chu Xiaohong began to question him, and then belatedly inquired about the ledger, mainly trying to determine whether Cheng An's words were true or false, and whether the ledger records were genuine or not.
When Huang Lili heard Chu Xiaohong's final "persuasive" advice to Cheng An that since it was confirmed to be true, he should be certain, otherwise she wouldn't let him off the hook, and the crew wouldn't let him off the hook either, she couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Captain, that last sentence is just trying to cover up the truth! It's like 'I am the murderer' is written all over your forehead."
Guan Feng said, "We can't be completely certain. What if it involves insurance and other requirements? Her advice is understandable. Let's hear what she has to say first."
The recording continues playing.
If the previous sounds were somewhat "understandable," then the following scenes were rather inexplicable.
Chu Xiaohong's demeanor was less like questioning and more like instigation. As Huang Lili listened, she became predisposed to the situation and no longer needed Guan Feng to explain further; she could sense the problem within it.
This is a qualitative improvement.
Guan Feng wanted to test Huang Lili, so he asked her some questions about the details of her voice.
Huang Lili was able to accurately answer some of Chu Xiaohong's questions. Guan Feng smiled and said, "Impressive, Lili. You've graduated. You can brag to your sister when you get back."
Huang Lili said shyly, "What? It was all because you reminded me, Captain."
Guan Feng said, "That's because you applied what you learned to other situations! Okay, let's not talk about that for now. Judging from this recording, Chu Xiaohong is indeed highly suspicious."
Huang Lili said, "That's right! I even think she's more suspicious than Li Ge."
Guan Feng said, "Judging from their relationship, once Chu Xiaohong is identified as a suspect, Li Ge's chances of escaping are not very high. At the very least, he should know about it, right? But we still need to see how things go and determine the relationship between them."
He paused, then looked at Huang Lili and said, "Let's go! Pack these things up and go to the monitoring room to take a look."
Huang Lili nodded and left the prop room with Guan Feng.
They carefully affixed the seal again and added a new PVC seal to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
The two took off their shoe covers and went to the monitoring room.
Gao Dacheng and his men were watching several screens.
Guan Feng asked, "How's it going? Any results?"
Gao Dacheng turned around and was stunned when he saw Guan Feng. He said, "Captain Guan, you're here? We're still searching, but we've already identified Chu Xiaohong. She was near the prop room before the incident, but since there's a dressing room next door, we don't know if she went to find Li Ge or went into the prop room."
Guan Feng asked, "Isn't there more detailed surveillance footage?"
Gao Dacheng shook his head and said, "I asked their security, and they said that it was close to the dressing room. There had been complaints before, so one of the cameras was removed. Now the nearest surveillance cameras are only the corners on both sides. They can only confirm that someone enters the passage, but they can't confirm whether they enter the prop room, the dressing room, or the director's room."
Guan Feng said, "Then show me the surveillance footage of Chu Xiaohong?"
Gao Dacheng asked Zheng Hua to retrieve surveillance footage from camera number 3.
A moment later.
A scene appeared in front of them.
Chu Xiaohong!
She wore sunglasses, had exquisite makeup, and her long hair flowed in the air. She walked towards us from a distance, carrying a tote bag, and then disappeared around the corner.
Guan Feng said, "Let's magnify the details of the bag."
Zheng Hua did as instructed.
Guan Feng frowned as he looked at the screen and said, "This bag is quite big. Generally speaking, women rarely use such a large tote bag, especially a boss like Chu Xiaohong who has an assistant following behind her. It's already strange for her to carry a bag, but it's even stranger to carry a bag like this."
Gao Dacheng stared at the screen for a while, then nodded and said, "Captain Guan, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit strange."
Guan Feng asked, "Are there any more scenes of Chu Xiaohong going in and out?"
Gao Dacheng said, "Yes, during the time Li Ge was filming, Chu Xiaohong visited the set six times, always entering through this passage. We have retrieved the video footage."
Guan Feng said, "Play!"
Gao Dacheng pressed the play button.
