She and Shu Wan had only known each other for a short time, since they joined the film crew.
What she said was all based on what she had personally witnessed and experienced recently.
Shu Wan is well-liked in the drama, and after taking a round of statements, it seems that none of them have a motive for murder.
But it is a fact that Shu Wan is lying in the hospital, her life hanging in the balance.
Liu Xiaohua was the prime suspect, and her belongings were also searched by the police.
Since the dormitory was no longer available, Lu Chen arranged a new dormitory for Liu Xiaohua to rest in.
"Aunt Liu, please don't worry, this matter will definitely be investigated and clarified."
Lu Chen comforted Liu Xiaohua. Liu Xiaohua was older, and the fact that Shu Wan died in the play and Shu Wan had an accident in real life had a great impact on Liu Xiaohua. Lu Chen was worried that she would be left with psychological trauma.
"It's okay, I'm fine, I'm just worried about Shu Wan."
Liu Xiaohua had thought about it carefully and was certain that she hadn't made any mistakes, either in the play or in real life. The pat on Shu Wan's head looked like it was very forceful, but in reality, when it touched Shu Wan's head, the force was just like a gentle stroking.
But Shu Wan was bleeding from the mouth and had fainted, her life hanging by a thread. No matter what, it was a life, and Liu Xiaohua couldn't ignore it.
“I remember now. One night I thought I heard Shu Wan crying, but when I woke up I didn’t hear it anymore. I thought it was just a dream, so I didn’t tell the police.”
Liu Xiaohua suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to mention an important clue, and immediately became serious: "No, we have to tell the police about this, just in case it's a clue."
In the past, she wouldn't have thought about it so deeply; she would have just considered it a dream.
Now that Shu Wan is in trouble, any suspicious detail could be a clue.
“I’ll talk to the police about this. You should get some rest. You’ve been practicing all day and filming late into the night, so you should get some rest.”
Lu Chen kept it in mind. The police had already told him this before they left, and he also remembered that he could go to the police station to tell them any details.
All available evidence has been taken away, the scene has been sealed off, and the actors who were supposed to rest have gone to rest.
Liu Xiaohua nodded.
After Lu Chen left, Liu Xiaohua washed up and lay down to rest, closing her eyes to relax, but her mind was filled with memories of the various details of her time with Shu Wan.
Trying to find some clues from it.
Regardless of what she thought, Shu Wan was an excellent girl.
At eighteen, she was considerate and gentle, and everyone on set liked her very much.
Liu Xiaohua recalled the only time Shu Wan revealed her family situation. Shu Wan said that she had a younger sister named Shu Xin, who was in poor health and needed to take medicine often. Most of her acting salary went to her sister's medical treatment.
Shu Wan said she wants to become a big star so she can take her younger sister to a better hospital for treatment and cure her.
Shu Wan is not in a relationship and says she has no plans to get married.
Liu Xiaohua couldn't understand who wanted to harm Shu Wan.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaohua sat up in bed, breaking out in a cold sweat.
She had just realized a possibility: the person behind this wasn't trying to harm Shu Wan, but rather her.
This speculation kept Liu Xiaohua awake at night. If it was directed at her, then the target was Su Luo; if it was directed at Su Luo, it could also be aimed at the child.
Liu Xiaohua's heart was pounding. She began to regret it. Why was she acting at her age? She should have just stayed at home and not had any problems.
"No, that's not right. I can't scare myself. Even if Shu Wan wanted to harm me, I was just acting normally. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't kill someone with a slap. It was all recorded on camera, and the police can see that I didn't use any force."
Liu Xiaohua tried to calm her unease by talking to herself.
The person behind this wanted to harm her through Shu Wan, but that clearly wouldn't work.
If Shu Wan ate something given to her and got into trouble, there would be some evidence, but since she was using the play to make trouble, this evidence is not sufficient.
Liu Xiaohua lay back down and closed her eyes to rest.
As she thought about it, she felt increasingly sleepy. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't.
...
Meanwhile, the police station had been repeatedly reviewing the unedited film reel.
In the play, Liu Xiaohua appears ferocious and ruthless, but in reality, she stops using force when her palm strikes.
It wasn't Liu Xiaohua who harmed the person.
They magnified Shu Wan's face.
One of the officers frowned and said, "Don't you guys think Shu Wan's acting is too realistic? It doesn't look like she's acting at all."
His reminder sent chills down everyone's spines.
As the head of the serious crime unit, Cheng Liwen had already reviewed all the statements when the case was transferred to her. They had also reviewed the film reel several times. Upon hearing her subordinates' reminder, she also spoke up, saying, "Xiang Dong is right. This is not acting; it is her true reaction to facing death."
After Cheng Liwen spoke, everyone felt even more uneasy and remained silent.
The film reel was still playing on repeat, and Shu Wan's acting sent chills down one's spine.
In the play, Shu Wan plays a character who gambles on her master's inability to kill her.
Off-screen, Shu Wan was also gambling that she wouldn't really die.
But when death came, she was filled with despair and terror, all of which were conveyed through her eyes, until she finally became dazed and passed out.
Shu Wan is still unconscious in the hospital. The doctors have concluded that she has suffered brain damage and could die at any time.
It's like the palm strike from Shu Wan's master in the play, which really carried decades of pure and profound skill. Both Shu Wan in the play and in real life were killed by that palm strike.
Given the extent of her brain damage, Shu Wan shouldn't have survived, but miraculously, she survived.
"Team leader, this case is a bit strange."
Xiang Dong, who had just raised the question, spoke up again.
Judging from the expressions of the other four people in the group, he knew that they had the same idea.
The strange thing is Liu Xiaohua's palm strike. No matter how they looked at it, it didn't seem real, but Shu Wan's reaction indicated that it was real.
"Have you found out where Shu Wan's sister, Shu Xin, is? She's the closest person to Shu Wan. No matter what, we need to find her first and find out what's going on. The culprit behind this could very well be trying to harm her."
Cheng Liwen also sensed that this case was unusual, but she didn't want to give up so quickly, in case they were just overthinking it.
If we still come up with no solution after investigating Shu Wan's younger sister, Shu Xin, it won't be too late to report it to higher authorities.
"It will probably take another two days. Shu Wan is staying with the film crew, and the crew doesn't know where she lives in private. There's a lot of population movement in J City, so it's not easy to investigate someone."
If it takes two days to find out, that's only after each region has expedited the process even further.
In short, they all gave it their all.
The case is still in their hands; they can forget about getting a proper rest.
"Yes, everyone has worked hard."
Cheng Liwen knew this case wouldn't be easy, and her team members would all have a tough time.
"It's not hard work. At worst, I'll just drink some strong tea to keep myself awake."
Everyone shook their heads. Finding out the truth was their duty. If they were going to complain about how hard it was, they might as well not wear this suit at all.
They choose what they love, so they are willing to go to great lengths for it.
...
As dawn approached, Blind Lin and Su Tiantian had arrived in the city.
Lin the Blind took Heimi to the film set and sent Su Tiantian to the hospital, keeping a close watch on her to prevent her from making any rash moves.
