Hua'an Film and Television City.
Historical costume section.
Guan Feng and the others arrived at the foot of Qingfeng Tower.
This is the filming location for "Nirvana in Fire".
Guan Feng and the others walked in, looked at the city gates and rooms around them, and after a moment strolled to the playground.
Guan Feng said, "According to Director Wang Sanshi, he should have been riding a horse here when he shot the victim in the chest with an arrow."
Liu Keming said, "According to Zhou Huai's background investigation, Wu Xian likes to work out and is quite strong. The angle of that arrow was just right, which led to the series of events that followed."
Guan Feng asked, "Captain Liu, how about we contact the Economic Crime Investigation Department and find out about Li Ge's company first?"
Liu Keming pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, I'll make the call. But for now, we can only conduct preliminary investigations. Only when we confirm that Li Ge is a prime suspect can we gain full access to our authority. After all, we have to consider the impact of this kind of thing."
Guan Feng said, "I understand. Let's find out first whether this company is involved in that kind of betting agreement."
Liu Keming said, "That's easy to do, I'll make the call right now."
Guan Feng paced back and forth on the horse track.
Depending on the distance between the two sides, the power of the arrow, and the angle of the shot...
Guan Feng recalled the scene of Wu Xian drawing his bow, nocking an arrow, and shooting it, which hit Li Ge perfectly.
Considering the distance, such high accuracy is reasonable.
He said to Huang Lili, "Go check out the props room."
The two arrived at the prop room.
It's not far from the playground.
The rooms are scattered throughout, including a lounge, a changing room, and one that has been turned into a prop room.
The doorway has been sealed off.
Huang Lili stepped forward to remove the seal, and then she and Guan Feng put on shoe covers and gloves before pushing open the door and entering the prop room.
Squeak!
The wooden door to the prop room was gently pushed open, revealing the layout inside.
Various knives, spears, clubs, and other weapons were either placed upright, lying horizontally on the ground, or carelessly discarded to the side, clearly without any tidying up.
Guan Feng asked, "Can you confirm that no one has come in since the incident?"
Huang Lili said, "The seal is still intact, so it doesn't look like someone came in."
Guan Feng looked out the window.
He walked to the window, opened it, and brushed the dust off the windowsill with his finger. Looking at the thin layer of light dust, he said, "After three days, the dust isn't very noticeable. I'm afraid we'll need someone from the technical department to confirm it."
Huang Lili asked, "Captain, are you worried?"
Guan Feng said, "This place is so messy. If Cheng An came in again, what would you do to avoid being criticized or even losing your job?"
Huang Lili put herself in his shoes and thought for a moment, then said, "I will definitely pack these things up."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "That's right! So Cheng An's suspicion is further reduced, and in such a messy environment, it would be easy for others to get in, or even just to change the arrows."
Huang Lili asked, "So what do we do now?"
Guan Feng said, "Let's check the surveillance footage first. According to Cheng An, the arrows were not replaced in the scene six days ago, which means it was about three days ago. Let's see who could have accessed this prop room."
Huang Lili clicked her tongue and said, "But isn't this screening scope too broad? After all, the changing room is right next door."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "If we just conduct a simple investigation, the scope will be too large. But we need to consider people with motives. Let's limit ourselves to the few people we investigated before. Tell Gao Dacheng and the others to come back and ask them how their investigation is going!"
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
After saying that, he ran to the side and started making a phone call.
Guan Feng squatted down and carefully examined the props.
A moment later.
He didn't notice anything unusual, clapped his hands, and stood up.
Gao Dacheng and the others also arrived at the prop room.
Guan Feng asked, "How's it going? What's Li Ge's reputation like on set? Have you found anything suspicious?"
Gao Dacheng said, "Captain, Li Ge's reputation on set is exceptionally solid. To put it simply, from the main actors to the extras, everyone has received Li Ge's help. He even brings snacks with him every time he's filming. So everyone speaks highly of Li Ge."
Guan Feng recalled Li Ge's past deeds and said, "So, does that mean he really is a national good husband?"
Gao Dacheng said, "Yes, his reputation is exceptionally solid. However, in comparison, his assistant seems rather unreasonable. He likes to make things difficult for the staff and is even harsh to the point of being sarcastic."
Guan Feng frowned and asked, "You mean that girl named Xiao Bing?"
Gao Dacheng said, "Yes, she doesn't have a good reputation in the crew, and there are quite a few people who have complaints about her."
Guan Feng recalled Xiao Bing's behavior when he visited Li Ge. Although she was somewhat serious, she shouldn't be described as sarcastic or mean.
He asked, "Lily, what do you think of that assistant?"
Huang Lili said, "It's alright. Although they didn't want us to bother Li Ge at first, they were quite polite later. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "It might not be a misunderstanding! It could also be a contrast in personas. This is common in real life. Big bosses are always kind and approachable, while middle-level managers are harsh and even ruthless. It seems that Li Ge is quite adept at creating personas."
Huang Lili asked, "So, is Li Ge now a prime suspect?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "It's too early to say. We can't make decisions based on a single character! Da Cheng, take some people to retrieve the nearby surveillance footage, focusing on the footage of three people: Li Ge, Li Ge's wife Chu Xiaohong, and his assistant Xiao Bing. See if they went in or out of the vicinity during the time between the two filming sessions."
Gao Dacheng said, "Okay, I'll investigate right away."
