Chapter 323 The Movie King Takes the Blame
The two exchanged glances, and the government maintenance worker reported, "Director, after extensive inspections, we can confirm with absolute certainty that the machine is brand new. All parts and the engine are in perfect condition."
Hearing this, Old Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Without waiting for Song Zhiyuan to ask further questions, the maintenance worker continued, "There's absolutely no problem with the machinery, but someone tampered with it."
Hearing this, Song Zhiyuan couldn't help but frown.
Shen Jingmo's expression instantly turned cold, and his fingers hanging from the seam of his pants slowly clenched into fists.
Shen Jingmo already had some guesses about the person who had done this.
Song Zhiwei quickly asked, "How can you be sure that someone tampered with the machine?"
The maintenance worker held two screws in his open palm. "Someone deliberately loosened two screws on the engine. After the machine started, the screws couldn't hold their position and naturally slid off, causing the machine to completely lose control."
The maintenance worker at the mechanical equipment factory immediately added, "Director Song, our equipment is all produced by machines, and all the equipment leaving the factory will pass our quality inspection. Even the smallest screws will not have any scratches.
These two loose screws not only have scratches from a wrench, but also show signs of repeated use."
Hearing this, Song Zhiyuan took out his pocket handkerchief, took the screw from the maintenance worker's palm and took a look. He could indeed see a tiny scratch.
However, as outsiders, they could not understand the signs of use on the inside.
Song Zhiyuan glanced at the filming director through the crowd. The filming director immediately understood what he meant and stepped forward, focusing the camera on the scratches on the screw.
[There really are tiny scratches, and they were actually tampered with. What is this person's intention? Is he targeting Sister Song, or the movie star?]
[Who knows if it was the actor himself who did it.]
Is the actor's brain out of whack or is he just not working properly? He tampered with the machinery himself and took the blame for the accident. I now suspect some of his haters are trying to drag him down.
[Luckily nothing serious happened, and fortunately Sister Song reacted promptly, otherwise the actor wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.]
No one guessed that this incident was directed at the employees.
When they were tightening the screws manually, they had no idea that the employee was coming.
On the contrary, if a major accident occurs, neither Song Zhiyuan nor Shen Jingmo, the two ultimate responsible persons, will be able to escape.
Old Wu, who was standing aside, trembled slightly and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
He never expected that the problem occurred after the equipment entered the factory. If the problem was caused by his failure to check it properly, it would be a small matter. But if someone tampered with it, it would be a big deal.
Song Zhiyuan handed the screw to Old Wu.
Old Wu was distracted and didn't pick it up. After waiting for a moment, Song Zhiyuan coughed softly. Old Wu was startled and quickly ran forward to take the screw. "Director, this incident must have been caused by an employee in the factory."
"Thank you both for the long journey. I will send a car to take you back after you have lunch at the factory." Song Zhiyuan asked someone to arrange for the two maintenance workers.
Then he looked at the frightened Old Wu and said, "It may not be an employee of the factory."
This is no small matter.
No matter who the other party is targeting, it has now reached the point of robbery and murder.
"Call the police," Song Zhiyuan said, then added, "Old Wu, pull up the surveillance footage from yesterday, from when the equipment entered the factory until now."
Upon hearing this, Old Wu hurriedly ran to do as Song Zhiyuan instructed.
[We must call the police and conduct a thorough investigation. This isn't just targeting Sister Song and the actor; it's murder.]
Because of the live broadcast, the media reports the latest news in real time.
Because so many people were paying attention to this matter, it immediately became a hot topic after the results were released.
[Sister Song reacted very quickly, without any delay. She immediately grasped the key points and carried out various inspections. If she had been a little slower, the real culprit would have gone unpunished and the actor would have taken the blame.]
[Usually, things like this will go on for days without any end in sight.]
[Sister Song's main strength is speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. In less than half a day, she had thoroughly investigated this matter.]
[Sister Song is really good at shutting up haters. She uses both internal and external personnel to help. Let's see how those haters can continue to spread rumors and slander.]
[Now I hope the police can help find the murderer as soon as possible.]
Because the director of the Ministry of Agriculture was at the scene and the incident had spread too widely, the police quickly rushed to the factory after being called. After multiple inspections, the police and the maintenance workers came to the same conclusion.
It was determined that human damage to the machine resulted in worker injury.
After the police left, it was already completely dark. The other two groups had finished recording and left the island early.
It takes time for the police to identify the suspects.
Shen Jingmo went to the cafeteria to pack some food and came back, "Yuanyuan, you've been busy all day, eat something first."
"I heard from the canteen staff that it is the kelp harvesting season recently, and the canteen mainly serves kelp. I asked the staff to stir-fry two other vegetables. Yuanyuan will have some to eat first." Chen Jingmo said as he opened the takeaway box.
"It's already very rich." Song Zhiyuan watched the surveillance video with the police for an entire afternoon and couldn't help but feel a headache.
Song Zhiyuan pinched his brows tiredly and sat down at the dining table.
Chen Jingmo used a serving chopstick to pick up some food for Song Zhiyuan. Seeing her tired expression, he said, "Yuanyuan, it will take time to investigate the suspect. You guys should go back tomorrow. I'll stay here and keep an eye on it."
"I haven't had much to do in the city recently, and I'm worried about going back." Besides, she is the main person responsible for this project.
Although the machinery in the workshop was invested and purchased by Shen Jingmo, the mechanical accident was caused by man-made damage and had nothing to do with Shen Jingmo.
【The movie emperor is really very responsible.】
This accident was caused by sabotage in the workshop and had nothing to do with the actor. Not only did he stay to help find the culprit, he even paid for the injured workers' medical expenses.
[The actor has always been very responsible. He even held an umbrella for others after getting caught in the rain himself.]
Song Zhiyuan looked at Song Zhiwei and Zhou Qi who were sitting beside him and said, "You two won't be able to help much here. You can go back tomorrow."
Song Zhiwei used his chopsticks to stir the rice in his bowl and whispered back, "Who said I can't help? I can take care of my sister here to prevent anyone from having bad intentions towards her."
As Song Zhiwei spoke, his eyes drifted towards Chen Jingmo intentionally or unintentionally.
[Top star, just keep your mouth shut and see what my movie star is doing.]
[Even if something happens to my actor, I won't let Sister Song be in danger.]
