Chapter 6 A natural talent for criminal investigation
As a director, Bai Sheng completely ignored Xu Zhizhi who was taken away. He looked at the photos obsessively, as if they were looking at rare treasures.
It is not difficult to find actresses or villains in domestic entertainment. What is difficult is actually finding a female villain with excellent acting skills.
Because no matter what kind of villain a female character plays, the audience will curse more than a male villain, which causes many female actors to not dare to put in any effort.
If you have good acting skills, you will be scolded. If you have bad acting skills, you will be scolded even more.
This is a thankless role type. It was not easy for him to find one before, and it is almost a miracle for him to find a better one.
So when he was reminded that Xu Zhizhi had been taken away by Qin Su, he rolled and crawled to find Qin Su, fearing that he would take his little cutie away.
"I was really just acting, I have never killed anyone!" Xu Zhizhi spread her hands and emphasized to the other party again, her expression serious but also with a sense of helplessness.
She only considered acting like the character, and never thought that she would be targeted by professionals.
It was only when she was taken to this secluded place that she learned that this technical instructor was the captain of the Jiang City Criminal Investigation Brigade. At the same time, she also understood why he could provide so many real scene photos and information.
And she also felt that the other party gave her these things not because Director Bai was his friend, but wanted to test her with these things!
Because he acted too much like a suspect? This is outrageous!
Qin Su stared at Xu Zhizhi with a deep expression. He did not say whether he believed it or not. Instead, he said, "I was just agitated. I will publicly apologize and restore your reputation. As for your innocence, I will investigate it myself, but I want to know something. I hope you can answer truthfully."
He didn't think about whether to believe it or not, nor could he make subjective judgments about anything. Any doubts required evidence. He was indeed too excited just now.
It’s just that all psychopathic murderers are in disguise; they are natural performers.
He had seen many murderers who were proven guilty of murder in court with red eyes and aggrieved expression, saying that they had not committed the crime and that they were being wrongly accused. They would say that they were normal people who could not bear to step on an ant to death and that they would not commit those crimes.
Even when the evidence is overwhelming, they will try to make excuses.
So no matter what the person in front of him says, it will not change his mind of seeking the truth.
"What's the matter?" Xu Zhizhi asked curiously.
Xu Zhizhi has a very good impression of public servants, as they were present on her growth path in her previous life.
She was born into a family that favors boys over girls. They live in a wooden house with tiles. Her father is a domestic violence maniac who would beat her mother until she is bleeding whenever she is unhappy in life.
If you lose money betting, you might even break your legs.
She had just finished junior high school at the time, and even though she achieved an excellent third place in the high school entrance examination, she almost failed to finish her studies.
It was her teachers and town government officials who found kind financial support for her to go through high school and graduate from college.
Otherwise, she would never be able to leave the mountains, let alone go to a good university.
This reminded her of her own death. Her mother ran away because she could not bear the domestic violence when she was in the first year of high school. She heard that the man she remarried was good and they had a child. Apart from the fact that the money she gave to the sponsor was wasted and she was unable to contribute to society as the other party expected, she had no other regrets.
Qin Su was silent for a while before he slowly said, "I want to know how you portray this character. I feel like you already know him quite well."
He thought that perhaps he could understand the murderer from a perverted perspective and make a breakthrough.
Xu Zhizhi was silent. Could she say that she had witnessed it with her own eyes?
The two were chatting in a corner outside the dressing room, and Bai Sheng happened to hear what Qin Su said when he arrived.
He sighed in his heart, thinking that Qin Su was desperate and was trying all sorts of methods.
He was saved from being killed because he was hidden by his uncle. Later, he witnessed his uncle's tragic death. His father was exhausted by the case and was still unwilling to give up when he was about to retire.
He was eager to comfort his uncle's spirit in heaven and also wanted to resolve the knot between himself and his father.
However, after 16 years of relay pursuit, there has been no result in such a long time. Asking Xu Zhizhi now is undoubtedly asking for a miracle.
In other words, it is a life-saving straw.
"My understanding of this character is through immersive imagination. 'He' is a very narcissistic person who appears to be very honest in real life and has a smooth life." After careful consideration, Xu Zhizhi began to describe some of the scenes and processes she saw, as well as her speculation about the other party watching her achievements.
She was not afraid of Qin Su's investigation. She had been very open in her past and present lives and was not afraid of anyone's investigation.
Qin Su listened very carefully and even took out his mobile phone to record it. Many of the small details that Xu Zhizhi said were not inferred by them. They were obtained through divergent thinking. For example, the other party was at the scene at the time, which was a very important clue that might lead to the murderer.
She even seemed to have some understanding of the murderer's personality, behavioral logic, and psychological thoughts.
Qin Su continued to ask: "So do you think "he" is a man or a woman?"
This is a mystery, and it is also the point that has been criticized and attacked in recent years, not only because of the hair, but more because of the reasoning about body shape and strength.
"He should be a short man, about 1.7 meters tall, well-trained, and able to work in all walks of life. He should have lacked love since childhood. The lack of maternal love led to his antisocial personality. He has a family that seems relatively happy to outsiders. He keeps learning knowledge and yearns to kill people. The last time he killed someone, he vented his inner depression. Destroying beauty made his soul compensated, so he disappeared into the crowd after several murders."
Xu Zhizhi spoke of her own guesses, which she came up with through observation. To imitate the criminals in depth, one must understand them. These were her inferences, and she would speak if the person on the other side needed her to.
The basis for these inferences is that she herself is a woman and understands women's subtle movements and habits, which the other party obviously does not have.
Although the simulated criminals prefer her body shape and appearance, their killing methods and behavioral habits are completely opposite to those of women.
After being confused twice, she realized that she had misunderstood something before.
The girl died tragically, and she also hopes that the other party can be vindicated.
She should have been afraid and panicked, but when she thought of the girl's tragic condition, she felt that she should not be afraid of the girl's chopped-together body, but should try to understand the characteristics of the murderer as clearly as possible and help the girl get justice.
So she overcame her psychological barriers and instincts again and again and watched the simulation again and again.
What she didn't expect was that the opportunity would come so soon.
It was as if it was arranged by God.
Qin Su looked serious. The other party's inference coincided with his father's inference at that time by 60%.
He did not share this inference with Xu Zhizhi.
He deduced from these words that Xu Zhizhi was a criminal genius!
He turned off the recorder and said solemnly: "You want to be a policeman..."
Before he could finish his words, a black hand reached out and pulled Xu Zhizhi behind it.
"Don't even think about it! I have already signed a contract with her! She can only be my villain!" Bai Sheng looked at Qin Suo with vigilance, as if to say, you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, you were suspicious of her just now, but now you want to recruit her into your team.
Xu Zhizhi: …
What a weird triangle! She refuses to be part of it!
She quickly left, leaving the two men to confront each other in private.
The male lead of this drama, Yu Fengqiao, is played by the cool and handsome Xu Yunlai, and the female lead, Jiang Mu, is played by the sunny and tough-looking pretty girl Fu Nian. Both of them are the kind of people who love gossip and are a bit funny. When they saw Xu Zhizhi come back safely, they immediately surrounded her and asked what happened.
"Who is that person? Zhizhi, you didn't really make a mistake, did you? If you did, just go and reform yourself. Yunlai and I will still be your friends in the future." Fu Nian pouted, and there was clear integrity in his words.
Xu Yunlai nodded eagerly, his eyes widened, and he tried to look at Xu Zhizhi sincerely, "Yes! Nian Nian is right!"
"Then thank you." Xu Zhizhi said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Fu Nian put his arm around Xu Zhizhi's shoulders and said, "We are comrades in the same trench, brothers and sisters who will share weal and woe!"
Xu Yunlai continued to nod, expressing his full agreement.
The three of them had only known each other for a day, and now they immediately became as close as one person.
Xu Zhizhi simply said it was a misunderstanding. Fu Nian and Xu Yunlai patted her on the shoulder and said in unison, "Don't blame them."
"Hahahaha, who asked you to act like that!" Fu Nian added.
Xu Yunlai echoed, "That's right, we were scared to death."
The two of them had cheerful and positive smiles on their faces throughout the whole process and spoke playfully. Xu Zhizhi also joined in the chatting and laughing.
After a while, Bai Sheng and Qin Su came back together. It seemed that they had reached some agreement in private, and both of them looked at peace.
Only Xu Zhizhi inexplicably felt that the two were making their own plans.
Then she spent the day studying hard on the set. Bai Sheng taught her a lot of knowledge about the set, as well as techniques on how to face the camera calmly and not to be out of place.
It can be seen that he really takes care of Xu Zhizhi.
Xu Zhizhi occasionally chatted with other actors and talked about some gossip in the circle. At the end of the day, everyone in the entire crew became familiar with her.
The shock I felt from acting before also disappeared.
There was a night show in the evening, and it was already ten o'clock when they finished. Just when Xu Zhizhi was about to go back to bed, Lin Yu found Xu Zhizhi with an angry face.
Soon Xu Zhizhi found out why Lin Yu was so angry, because she was spread rumors that she relied on the relationship of her agent to force her way into the crew, and on the day she joined the crew, she seduced the married director Bai Sheng.
The post also included a picture of the director pulling Xu Zhizhi behind him during the day, and considerately photoshopped Qin Su out of the photo.
The publisher is a well-known paparazzi marketing account in the entertainment industry, and the popularity of this post has already reached the top of Weibo.
Xu Zhizhi opened the comment section and saw all the news insulting her for being shameless.
When Xu Zhizhi learned about this, there was a commotion coming from the crew who were finishing work.
A woman with a good figure, tanned skin, ordinary looks, and about the same age as Baisheng walked in.
She said in a serious voice, "I'm looking for Bai Sheng. Tell him to get out of here!"
The woman looked up and saw Xu Zhizhi, who had just put away her phone after reading the comments, and their eyes met.
Lin Yu stood in front of Xu Zhizhi vigilantly, fearing that the other party would rush over and hit Xu Zhizhi.
Xu Zhizhi pushed her away and shook her head at Lin Yu, indicating that everything was fine.
The look in the other person's eyes told her that she was not the kind of person who could not tell right from wrong.
She took a few steps forward and walked to a place not far from the other party so that she could explain it later.
At this moment, the other party reached out and smoothed the fallen hair around his ear, revealing a crescent-shaped white mark on the outside of his right little finger, which was only left by a healed wound.
The trace flashed by. Xu Zhizhi was not far away from her. She was stunned for a moment when she saw it, and then she unconsciously moved forward again.
She remembered that during the crime simulator's simulation of a criminal committing a crime yesterday, it was clearly shown that the other party had a deep crescent-shaped cut on his little finger due to careless operation.
That crescent moon exactly matched the marks left on the woman's wounds and healing process.
