He suddenly raised his head and looked at Bai Qianmo.
"Bai Qianmo!"
It seems you recognize me.
Zhang Wenye smiled coldly: "Of course I know you. You framed Yafei and made her look bad in public on the red carpet at the Weibo Night event. How could I not remember you?"
Bai Qianmo didn't want to bring up her past grievances with Zhang Yafei, but through this incident, she could hear from Zhang Wenye's words that he was protecting Zhang Yafei.
"I heard that you and Zhang Yafei are childhood sweethearts, and you two must have a very good relationship."
Zhang Wenye's lips curled into a half-smile, his eyes filled with a sinister glint.
"You don't need to waste your breath. I know nothing about Zhang Yafei's death. I haven't been in contact with her for a long time since she became famous."
Bai Qianmo stared directly into Zhang Wenye's eyes, without blinking.
"Since you were childhood sweethearts, even though you haven't been in touch for a long time, you don't seem sad at all when you learn that your good friend has been murdered."
Zhang Wenye lowered his eyes again, and Bai Qianmo felt that he was trying his best to hide his emotions at this moment.
“The dead cannot be brought back to life. No matter how sad I am, it’s no use. Besides, I’m now a suspect.”
Bai Qianmo toyed with the pen in her hand and said, word by word, "If you don't want to be a suspect, explain why you've been missing for the past few days. Otherwise, you might be more than just a suspect."
Zhang Wenye clenched his fists, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth.
“I participated in a talent show and have been training there for the past few days.”
Luo Cheng asked, "What talent show?"
"The birth of an idol."
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow and winked at Luo Cheng. The two of them left the interrogation room together without asking any further questions.
One hour later
Bai Qianmo and Luo Cheng personally visited a training camp, which was a place similar to a high school, with individual buildings resembling European architecture, as well as basketball courts, running tracks, and a library.
This is a venue rented by the program team. It is said to be a new campus of a prestigious high school that has already been built. Since all the students will not move here until June next year, the school temporarily rented the empty school to the program team.
Bai Qianmo came over personally and was extremely cautious with everyone in the "Idol" program team.
After all, this was the new boss's first time visiting the place.
Upon hearing the news, the director rushed over and greeted Bai Qianmo respectfully.
"Boss, I didn't know you would be coming today. I'm so sorry for not being able to entertain you properly."
"I came with a friend," Bai Qianmo replied casually.
Only then did the director's gaze fall upon the young man sitting next to Bai Qianmo.
Who is this?
Luo Cheng showed his identification and then explained his purpose for coming.
Upon hearing Luo Cheng's words, the chief director looked astonished.
"What happened to Zhang Wenye?"
“He is connected to a murder case we are currently investigating, so we are here to learn about his recent situation.”
The director frowned: "How could this happen? Zhang Wenye is a very promising kid. He has an outstanding appearance and a strong personality. Although he is an individual trainee, our platform is very optimistic about his future development."
"Do you know any trainees who share a dorm room with Zhang Wenye or are close to him?"
The director thought for a moment and said, "Oh, there's someone who's very close to Zhang Wenye. His name is Luo Mingming, and the two of them are often together."
"Director, could you please introduce us to this Luo Mingming?"
The director immediately made a phone call, and a short while later, a member of the program team brought in a young man.
"director."
The man stood next to the staff and greeted the director somewhat reservedly.
The director said to Bai Qianmo and Luo Cheng beside him, "This child is Luo Mingming."
"Sit down and let's talk."
Luo Mingming lifted his eyelids to look at Bai Qianmo. When he saw Bai Qianmo, a hint of surprise was clearly revealed in his eyes. Then his gaze turned to Luo Cheng, who had spoken.
Luo Cheng carefully sat down and introduced himself.
“I’m from the police station. Don’t be nervous. I’m here today to ask you about Zhang Wenye.”
"What happened to Zhang Wenye?"
Was he with you between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on January 17th?
“Number 17…” Luo Mingming recalled carefully for a while.
“We were together because the first performance was about to start, and we all trained very hard. That night, Zhang Wenye was in the rehearsal room practicing dance. I remember it was around 3 a.m. before we went back to the dormitory together.”
"What did you all do after you got to the dorm? Did Zhang Wenye do anything unusual that day?"
Luo Mingming shook her head: "Zhang Wenye doesn't talk much, but he is a very kind and sensitive person. After he came back that day, he became a great singer and dancer. He was the best among the more than 100 trainees. After he came back that day, he even took the time to teach me how to dance."
"So he stayed in the dorm all night?"
"Yes, we are under closed management. During the three-month trainee period, we are not allowed to go out."
Afterwards, Luo Cheng and Bai Qianmo visited Zhang Wenye's roommates and the boys in the same dance group, and their answers were basically the same as Luo Mingming's.
The two left the training camp, Luo Cheng looking puzzled.
"So Zhang Wenye has a solid alibi, which means we can rule him out of the case. But I still feel like this kid is behaving strangely. He clearly has an alibi, so why didn't he explain when we caught him?"
