Chapter 452 Script Killing 10 (End)
Tao Huayu raised the box and continued his unfinished words with a smile: "Violent disassembly?"
Everyone was a little discouraged. They put down what they were holding and looked at each other: "Let's go."
When they went downstairs, some staff had already come in and started to organize the props.
Liu Wangxue asked Wenxi: "What did you find in the flower shop? You haven't told me yet."
Wenxi pointed at Tao Huayu: "His hidden identity is an undercover policeman."
Li Yu exclaimed, "Wow!" and asked, "Is this the policeman Liang Bojun mentioned in the recording?"
"No," Du Yunkai replied, also pointing at Tao Huayu, "That policeman was his friend. He had been investigating the case since Liang Bojun's death. He died in the line of duty at the end of 1940. He came from the provincial department and came here specifically to continue investigating the case."
Tao Huayu touched his chin and said, "Let me guess. I've been here, running a flower shop and investigating cases at the same time. In the past two years or so, I must have gathered enough evidence, enough to bring them down at once." Because at the beginning, "Liang Bojun" said that he was planning to close the flower shop, so that meant that the mission was successfully completed and he was ready to withdraw.
Wenxi said: "No, even though your room is covered with wall charts showing relationships and evidence chains, the murderer of Liang Bojun and your friend has not been found, and the boss behind this whole thing has not been found either."
Tao Huayu was puzzled: "Then why should I withdraw?"
Xu Qingsong patted him on the shoulder and said, "It must be an order from above."
Wenxi said, "Yes, the provincial department asked you to go back. They said that there was a Meilidai incident in the province, so they asked you to go back and assist in the investigation. Someone will take over here."
As they were talking, they walked out of the Liang couple's home and saw staff members from the Sweetheart Nail Salon across the street. Seven plastic stools of different colors had been placed at the T-junction of Sweetheart Street, and the young man who was in charge of drawing the cards for them and leading them in was waiting there with a smile on his face.
A few people walked over, and Du Yunkai looked at the stool, thinking that it was obviously meant to be a discussion, so he asked, "What is this?"
The young man motioned for everyone to sit down: "Let's have a simple review meeting for the last process of the script-killing game." After everyone was seated, he asked: "Does anyone have any questions or doubts?"
"That's too many," Tao Huayu was the first to speak, "Let's start with the question in the mission. Who killed Liang Bojun?"
Li Yu quickly followed up: "Also, who is the boss behind the restaurant owner?"
The young man smiled and said, "There are answers to these two questions, but you missed them."
Wenxi asked, "Those unopened boxes upstairs?"
The young man shook his head: "Three of the four boxes are puzzle props, and only one can be opened, which is the one taken from the bottom shelf of the bookcase. The password is in Dr. Liang's office in the plastic surgery hospital." He looked at Li Yu and Tao Huayu: "You two missed it. The NPC broke in and knocked over a pile of documents on the corner of the table. There was a birthday invitation letter for Dr. Zhao in the documents. But it's also our staff's fault. Due to the angle, the invitation letter slipped under the cabinet and you didn't notice it."
Li Yu and Tao Huayu nodded: "Oh——"
The young man continued, "But the clues in this box are not the murderer or the boss, but evidence of Dr. Zhao's medical malpractice and definite evidence of collusion between the plastic surgery hospital and the restaurant owner. Dr. Zhao is the son of the director of the plastic surgery hospital."
Liu Wangxue asked: "Then where did we miss before?"
The young man pointed to the nail salon behind him and replied, "The clearest clue about the murderer is right here. The first time you searched, you didn't even look through the bed. The second time, the two players only looked through the bed and didn't notice that there was a palm-sized box under the bed, near the wall. The password to this box is also the date of Liang Bojun's death. There was a USB flash drive inside, which was a video of a car surveillance camera. The video showed that it was Liang Boying who tampered with Liang Bojun's car."
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts after hearing this, and Liu Wangxue immediately moved closer to Xu Qingsong.
Wenxi asked: "Did Sweetheart Nail Art find this surveillance? How did she do it?"
The young man said, "The note in the box said that on July 8, Sweetheart Nail Art went to Liang Bojun and Jiang Feifei's cohabiting home to look for Jiang Feifei, but her car had a problem, so she borrowed a car from a friend and parked it opposite Liang Bojun's car. When Liang Boying went to tamper with it, he happened to miss her elevator, so he didn't notice it. Three days later, Sweetheart Nail Art borrowed a car from a friend again to go to the hospital to visit Jiang Feifei. On the way home, there was a scratch, and she found it when she checked the surveillance. She wanted to call the police, but when Jiang Feifei woke up in the hospital, she mistook Liang Boying for Liang Bojun for the first time."
Li Yu nodded. He understood: "So the manicure was for Jiang Feifei. I chose to conceal this matter temporarily. I didn't expect that later... Alas——"
"Where's the clue about the boss?" Xu Qingsong asked.
"It's in your restaurant." The young man said, looking at Liu Wangxue, "There are several storage boxes with CDs in the cabinet on the workbench in the basement. If you check all the CDs, you will find one without any labels. This one records the details of the transactions and bribes between the restaurant owner and the mayor's secretary."
Everyone said in unison: "The boss is the mayor!"
The little brother nodded: "Actually, you missed a place."
"where?"
The young man said: "There are also hidden files in the computer in the lab owner's office. They are the capital injection and profit dividends from the mayor's wife into the lab."
Wenxi pointed at Du Yunkai and said, "Didn't you say that the laboratory is solely owned by you?"
Du Yunkai held her hand and put it on his lap, saying, "How should I know? That's what the character summary said when I drew the card." He then asked Xu Qingsong, "Didn't you know about the hidden folder? Why didn't you remind me at that time?"
Xu Qingsong looked innocent, his hand covering the back of Liu Wangxue's hand: "We both found out about the hidden folder in the beauty salon, okay? Or did we think of this because there was nothing in that computer?"
Du Yunkai: "Then why don't you think about it?"
Xu Qingsong pointed at him from a distance: "You want to blame each other, right? You checked the lab computer, and you blame me?"
The young man thought they were really going to quarrel. It was not like he had never encountered such players before, so he quickly changed the subject and said to Xu Qingsong: "Well, Mr. Xu, how did you guess the password to the restaurant basement?"
Their backstage surveillance only had images but no sound. When Xu Qingsong opened the door, he and the two staff members beside him were stunned. Because the password was a bit difficult, the players who came to play before either couldn't find the clues and couldn't open it, or found the clues but couldn't understand them, and finally asked them for help and hints.
When the young man asked this, everyone became curious, and Xu Qingsong gave a brief explanation.
The young man showed admiration on his face, and then raised his hand to signal Tao Huayu, saying: "In fact, we gave clues, and this gentleman found them."
Tao Huayu pointed at himself: "Me?"
The young man said: "The restaurant owner's office is connected to the bedroom, and the painting in the bedside table in the bedroom hints at the password."
Tao Huayu was incredulous and gestured with his hands: "You mean the painting with a meal and a flower, a meal and a flower interspersed from left to right?"
"Brother Huayu complained to me at that time," Li Yu immediately laughed out loud, imitating Tao Huayu's expression, tone and movements at that time, "What the hell is this painting!"
Everyone laughed together. Wenxi defended Tao Huayu and said to the little brother, "You really can't blame anyone else. Your clue is too obscure. Who can understand it?"
Du Yunkai followed Xu Qingsong's explanation and said, "A meal is also called a meal, which refers to the restaurant owner. The flower looks like a velvet flower, which sounds like "rong" in Chinese, which means beauty, and refers to the dean."
Wenxi laughed so hard that she covered her stomach with one hand and waved the other hand in the air: "No, who could have thought of this? Most people can't think of this!"
The young man laughed with everyone for a while, then asked, "So, does anyone have any questions about the plot?"
Tao Huayu changed his sitting position: "I don't have any questions, but the duration of your game is too short. Can you give me a suggestion to extend the time a little bit in the future?"
Wenxi continued, "Yes, we wanted to go back and search again at the end, but we didn't have time."
The young man smiled, but he was actually complaining in his heart. The time setting of their game is very scientific, okay? Who is the one who caused the time crunch? Anyway, when he was on duty, the players he saw entered the game and searched here and there in a hurry, for fear of missing anything. This group of people did everything slowly and leisurely——
There are those who are devoted to dating, especially the couple on his left, Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue, who really show off their affection everywhere. The couple on his right, Du Yunkai and Wenxi, are no less affectionate, with the cuddly energy in the flower shop. Dating is great!
There were people running around - Li Yu, at the plastic surgery hospital, it seemed like everywhere was something he was curious about, none of those NPCs scared him, he even took the initiative to attack, either teasing them or trying to scare them back.
——If Liu Wangxue saw this, she would definitely say, "Xiaoyu, your character has collapsed!"
There is also one who doesn’t do his own task - Tao Huayu, who ignores his own side story and follows others around!
The young man was thinking in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face: "Okay, I'll report it to the designer. So how was your gaming experience this time? Do you have any other suggestions or comments?"
Everyone thought about it seriously, and suddenly Li Yu raised his hand: "Doesn't the introduction on your official homepage say that this game is about family and emotions? Why do I feel that after playing this game, it seems to have nothing to do with family..."
"Yes, they are related, like Miss Lin and her father." Liu Wangxue remembered that Li Yu was not in the beauty salon at that time, so she briefly explained it. Then she suddenly remembered a point she had missed, and asked the little brother, "We found a suicide note on her at that time, which only said that she didn't want to live because she couldn't pay the money. Did anything else happen during the period from when she left the beauty salon until she jumped off the building?"
Tao Huayu then asked: "Also, where is her cell phone?"
Xu Qingsong raised another question: "Why was her information immediately classified as 'bad debt' in the Meilidai system after she died? Is it related to this phone?"
The young man seemed very happy that they noticed this, which was also what their designer emphasized in the review meeting. He answered one by one: "The plot of this character you saw is just the tip of the iceberg, but a lot of information can be guessed from the conversation between the father and daughter. Simply put, the family favors boys over girls, coupled with repressive education, made her develop an inferiority complex. Especially during her adolescence, her mother often said that she was ugly and had a bad figure in order not to spend money on her, and used this as an excuse to deprive her of her love of beauty. After entering society, her work and relationship were not going well, and she thought it was caused by her appearance, so she spent all the money she earned on her face, thinking that as long as she became beautiful, her life would be smooth sailing."
Wenxi sighed: "This is a fallacy."
The young man nodded: "Yes, she fell into the trap of beauty loans, and then met an unscrupulous doctor, which was a double blow. She brought a knife with her when she went to the beauty salon, right? This is because she originally planned to die with the director if he refused to compensate her."
The young man raised his hand and gestured in the direction of Tao Huayu: "But according to the actress who played Miss Lin, she was almost saved by you, the impromptu lawyer."
Everyone turned to look at Tao Huayu and smiled. Tao Huayu suppressed the smug look on his face and said with regret: "But in the end, we couldn't save him."
The young man continued, "After she left the beauty salon and returned home, she happened to meet the domestic violence offender who came to propose marriage. She was very reluctant, but her father still accepted the gift, as if to squeeze out the last drop of surplus value from her. She desperately escaped, felt that life was hopeless, and finally chose to jump off the building. On the way to escape, she lost her phone."
The young man looked at Xu Qingsong: "As for the 'bad debt' in the system, Miss Lin was developed by someone else. When she jumped off the building, that person was watching from below, so..."
So what? It’s self-explanatory.
After listening to this, everyone gasped a little. How big is this criminal organization of Meilidai? Then the young man led everyone to discuss the four relationships in the plot. When talking about the dessert sister, he said: "In fact, this relationship is also a core idea that our designers want to convey through the game. There are many situations in our modern society that are prone to cause anxiety, but most of them are artificially created. For example, most people will encounter appearance anxiety and body anxiety. In fact, both men and women will have problems in this regard to a greater or lesser extent, but compared to women, men are more open-minded in this regard."
Tao Huayu thought of a joke that has been circulating on the Internet for a long time and said with a smile: "Is it because we are ordinary and confident?"
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
The young man looked at the six people in front of him and suddenly felt that what he said was a bit redundant. Judging from their appearance, none of the four men and two women seemed to be anxious about this. No matter what, the designer asked him to say it. This was his job and he had to complete it.
After laughing, Li Yu said: "In fact, appearance is just a shell. It's no wonder that people are anxious. A good-looking shell can indeed bring certain benefits to people."
He himself has experienced this. He never dressed up in school before. In Fu Lei's words, he looked "poor all day long." But since he met Wenxi, he gradually learned these things under her "teaching by example", especially after following her to Porcelain, he seemed to have been reborn. After he returned to China, he went to the village to visit his grandparents, and the old couple didn't recognize him! Not to mention at school...
"That's right," the young man nodded and continued, "but we shouldn't pursue it too much. In fact, whether it's appearance anxiety, body anxiety, or some other so-called 'shortcomings', they are all poisonous seeds planted in our hearts by others. Two things will only show their differences when they are compared. Our judgment standards for beauty and ugliness also come from various voices around us. Therefore, we don't need to care too much about the outside world's evaluation. What others say is right may not be right, and what others say is wrong may not be wrong. We have to find our own balance."
After everyone chatted for a while following the young man's words, the review meeting ended.
Li Yu looked at the electronic watch on his wrist and said with regret: "Does that mean we can't get the gift package?"
The younger brother read his expression: "It's a pity."
Among the six, only Liu Wangxue, Wenxi and Li Yu's character plots were fully explored. Du Yunkai's plot became 80% because he found the reason for Liang Bojun's resignation in the study, while Xu Qingsong's plot remained at 90%.
Tao Huayu went to the plastic surgery hospital with Li Yu instead of staying in the flower shop to search. His storyline was only mentioned after the game ended, so the completeness of his character storyline is still 0%.
So far, they have not completed Task 1; Task 2 has not found direct evidence, so they have only guessed halfway; Task 3 -
"Oh, right, mission three!" Liu Wangxue suddenly remembered and asked the little brother, "Let the hero and heroine get back together, but Liang Bojun has been killed, how can they get back together?"
Wenxi leaned over and patted her hands, looking excited: "Think about it from another angle, what if the male lead is Liang Boying? The girls in my studio are reading a very popular novel right now, it's about this kind of forbidden forced love, it's said to be very exciting."
Liu Wangxue turned to look at the little brother: "Really?"
The young man nodded and said, "This is another topic. You spent too much time in the early stage, so the two actors who went to the south of the city didn't have time to come back."
Liu Wangxue felt like she was about to break down. The relationship between the restaurant owner and the beauty salon director made her feel uncomfortable. This kind of feeling is very exciting when reading a book or watching a drama, because the audience has a preset mind. As the male and female protagonists written by the author, generally speaking, the ending is not too tragic, and most of them are happy reunion endings. But substituting it into reality is absolutely terrifying and suffocating. Human nature cannot be seen, and human hearts are unpredictable.
Script-killing is an immersive game. She is in this environment and plays this role. It is as if she has really experienced the life of the characters in the play. She cannot accept it: "But Liang Boying killed Liang Bojun! He killed his own brother, Jiang Feifei's beloved! And Jiang Feifei almost died on the spot in that car accident. How can she still be with him without any grudges?"
At this time, the actress who played Jiang Feifei and the actor who played the Liang twins passed by with props in their hands. The actress said, "Let's take advantage of the traffic element. This kind of relationship of both sadomasochism and redemption, as well as the relationship between the brother-in-law and the sister-in-law, is very exciting!"
These two are probably a real couple. The male actor hugged the female actor and said, "After all, I really love you, from the first time I saw you."
The actress leaned in the actor's arms and raised her hand to touch his face: "Yes, and besides, you look exactly like Liang Bojun, so it's okay to use you as a stand-in. The most important thing is that you are handsome and have a good figure! I won't lose out!"
Liu Wangxue felt that her defenses had really broken: "How could this be possible?! What kind of values are these?!"
Wenxi and the others were all laughing.
Xu Qingsong hugged Liu Wangxue and coaxed her, "It's okay. Lock them both up! Lock them up! That way they won't go out and cause harm to others."
The young man looked at the two actors teasingly: "Just a reminder, the show has already ended."
The two of them walked away with their props, smiling: "Get ready for the next scene—"
The young man turned around and looked at everyone, smiling and said, "Everyone, shall we go out first?"
Everyone stood up and followed the young man, went out from another door, and took the elevator downstairs.
Until she got her personal belongings back and came out of the script-killing building, Liu Wangxue felt that she was angry and uncomfortable. Xu Qingsong kept holding her and stroking her back, but it didn't help her much.
Liu Wangxue suddenly asked Du Yunkai: "Boss Du, how is the market research for your love game going? Are you sure you want to make the game? I have an idea for the script now."
