Chapter 293: Inhuman (101) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
With this piece of information, whether true or false, there were more speculations on the barrage. A lot of people have shifted their thinking from revenge killing to love killing, and are now discussing the possibility of a murder in a closed room.
The person who said that his classmate was the security guard here did not appear again, leaving the barrage of comments to spread all kinds of speculation.
It has been nearly an hour since they were called out of the room. Now all the staff of the entire program crew have gathered in the lobby of the villa. It is bound to be chaotic when there are too many people, especially in a place like a shooting site.
Looking around, many staff members were communicating with their familiar friends and colleagues, and my ears were filled with the buzz of conversations.
Fortunately, most of the viewers watching the live broadcast now don’t care about this buzzing sound. Rather, most of the reasons why they choose this live broadcast room, besides being close to the crime scene, is because there are many people here.
Of course, it would be less scary to go online in the middle of the night and discuss topics like murders with more people.
[Brothers, I went out for a walk. The other live broadcast rooms that went out to broadcast live in the middle of the night were too dark and scary. The Yang energy here is still strong. ]
[Nonsense, more than a hundred people from the program team are in the camera, which live broadcast room can compare with this. ]
[What do the other live broadcast rooms say? ]
[All other live broadcast rooms were live broadcasts by tourists who were on vacation here in the middle of the night. One brave man said he wanted to go to the scene to take a look, but he couldn't get in at all. The cordon was set up far away, and he couldn't see anything clearly. The police also cordoned off that area.]
[I heard that many people checked out in the middle of the night and wanted to leave. Now the lobbies of several hotels are full of people. ]
[If it were me, I would leave too. ]
[The one in front, no one can get in, a tough guy in the live broadcast room climbed up the tree and went straight to the scene. ]
[Climbing a tree? A coconut tree? ? ]
[Ah...then why do you think he is a tough guy? 】
[Fuck, which live broadcast room is this? I'll go check it out.]
[I'm not very interested in the scene, I just want to see people climbing coconut trees.]
[I'm not very interested in the scene, I just want to see people climbing the coconut tree +1]
[I'm not very interested in the scene, I just want to see people climbing the coconut tree +2]
[Guide: I am watching A Tiangao Haikuo’s live broadcast, you can also watch it, click to copy...]
The comments in the live broadcast room were flashing rapidly, and many onlookers followed the instructions and went to another live broadcast room.
Inside the hall, as the staff came in one after another, the director wanted to turn off the live broadcast several times, but was stopped by the program leader. In the end, he could only throw his coat away in annoyance, sit at the door with his arms around his chest, out of the camera, and refuse to enter the camera.
Bai Jinshu looked at the directions that were being posted on the barrage, lowered his head and clicked a few times on his phone, searching for the live broadcast of [A天高海阔]. He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to jump directly into the live broadcast room.
The phone instantly emitted a middle-aged man's voice: [Family members, please follow and join the fan group. I will take pictures here for a few more minutes and then we will change positions, otherwise the park security will be here soon! ]
"What are you looking at?" Hong Conghua looked up subconsciously.
The voice was so powerful that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"That one," Bai Jinshu pointed at the screen, "the one the fans just mentioned was a live broadcast room that was broadcasting near the murder case."
The yellow-haired guy came closer: "What kind of camera position is this...Did this guy hack into the resort's cameras? So powerful?"
Looking from Ersi's mobile phone, there was a circle of red and blue lights surrounding a villa. The picture was a bit blurry, but it could still be seen that the villa was surrounded by wires.
The light was on in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa. With the help of the light, one could see several people standing or squatting on the balcony outside the second floor. They seemed to be police officers collecting evidence.
"It is said that this person is in the tree..." Before Bai Jin finished speaking, he saw the camera suddenly slide downwards, the picture shook violently, and the panicked voice of the middle-aged man was heard all of a sudden: "Ouch! I didn't hold on tight!"
A gasp came from the phone: "I almost fell, luckily I reacted quickly."
A dirty hand appeared in the camera, and the other guests who came over curiously saw the man adjust the camera and then point it back at the crime scene in the distance.
At this point, the audience in the live broadcast room discovered that the location of [A天高海阔] that was broadcasting was actually very far away from the crime scene, at least several hundred meters away.
The reason why the shot was so clear was that he opened the live broadcast room and zoomed in to the maximum, so that he could capture the situation at the crime scene from a tree several hundred meters away.
Although the picture is blurry, you can still vaguely see that there are indeed two fuzzy blocks of color lying on the second floor of the villa.
"Those two... are the deceased, right?" Huang Mao said softly, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to broadcast this live..."
The two deceased are still lying on the glass balcony, and now a bunch of people who are also on vacation here are doing live broadcasts and posting messages for the sake of popularity. It's a bit too much...
"We are also broadcasting live..." Hong Conghua twitched his lips, "Do you believe that the traffic tonight will make the entire production team smile?"
"Tsk..." The yellow-haired man said with a displeased tone, "I don't want to broadcast it either, but this shot is not under our control. Who wants to eat this blood flow?"
"Be more restrained," Bai Jinshu calmly bent down, took a cup from the coffee table to hide the yellow-haired man's expression, and whispered, "It's still on the air. If you get angry tonight, a lot of people will over-interpret it tomorrow."
Xiaoying also spoke in a low voice: "The cameras are all facing us now, why don't you just stop talking, Huangmao brother."
Although all the staff in the hall were discussing, only six of them appeared in the camera.
As soon as she said this, the displeasure on Huangmao's face froze.
"Didn't they say the police would come to question me? Why haven't they come yet?" He fanned himself with his hands, looked around, and changed the subject: "It's been more than an hour."
"The police will definitely question people from closest to farthest away," Bai Jin said softly, "If you feel sleepy, take a nap on the sofa next to you. I'll call you when we get to our building."
"Okay... okay," Huangmao was a straightforward man who couldn't control his expression. After hearing this suggestion, he thought it would be better for him to pretend to be asleep, so he simply picked up a pillow from the sofa and lay down on the single sofa next to him and fell asleep.
As to whether he fell asleep while lying on his stomach or was playing with his phone with his back to the camera, no one knows.
"Send me the live broadcast room." Hong Conghua pointed at the phone in Bai Jinshu's hand.
"Okay, I'll give it to you." Bai Jinshu lowered his head, added Hong Conghua as a friend on the social software, sent her the live broadcast room, and asked people around him. Everyone simply created a group and pulled in the yellow-haired person who was said to have gone to bed.
Yellow-haired: [? ]
This person was not sleeping, but playing with his phone with his back to the camera.
Conghua: [We created a small group with six guests in it, and sent the live link in. We have to see what’s going on outside.]
Bai Jinshu reopened the live broadcast room and shared the link to the group.
Hibiscus: What is this?
Huangmao: [TikTok? You didn’t download it? ]
Hibiscus: [I don’t download useless apps on my phone.]
"Just watch me," Bai Jinshu turned around and put his phone into Herbisk's hand, then stood up from the sofa, "I'll go find the director."
He walked over to the director and asked, "Director Qiao, how long will it take for the police to come to our building?"
"Teacher Er," the director straightened his back and checked his phone, "The person in charge of the park said we're almost there, at most half an hour away. The police came to question people in order, and many passengers who wanted to leave with their luggage in the middle of the night were stopped, so we can't make any special arrangements."
The entire resort belongs to the boss of the company behind this variety show, so it shouldn't be difficult to contact the person in charge directly.
The main reason is that the police are currently investigating the case in their order. Although they are anxious to distance themselves from the murder, they obviously cannot influence the criminal police's progress in the investigation and force themselves into the queue.
All we can do now is wait.
The director rubbed his hair a little irritably and looked in the direction of the guests. Among the six guests, the yellow-haired one was already dozing off with a pillow in his arms, while the rest were sitting in their seats checking their phones. Probably because of the live broadcast, no one got angry at this time and said that they refused to cooperate with the investigation and wanted to go to bed now.
"Teacher Er, are you guys sleepy?" He whispered, "We can't go back to the room right now. To avoid suspicion, it's better for us to stay in the hall."
"It's okay to be sleepy," Bai Jinshu smiled, "It's mainly because everyone is worried about whether the program can continue to be recorded, and whether we have to leave tomorrow."
"Well..." The director's face also showed a trace of embarrassment, "We don't have any news yet. We may have to wait until tomorrow morning when the company's senior management finishes discussing the matter before we can come up with a result."
"Director Qiao!" A staff member ran over and looked at Bai Jinshu next to him, "Ah... Teacher Er is here too."
He seemed a little hesitant, not knowing whether to continue.
"Just say it directly." Director Qiao nodded to the staff.
"Um..." The staff member looked at the live broadcast awkwardly.
"I can't take the picture." Bai Jinshu replied considerately.
The staff member breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice, "Director Qiao... we just did as you said and asked around before the police arrived. As a result, we found out that four people went out to drink last night."
"Who asked them to..." Director Qiao subconsciously raised his voice.
"Director Qiao," Bai Jinshu quickly held down his hand, "Take a break, don't be too loud, the live broadcast is still on."
As soon as these four words came out, people nearby looked over. The live broadcast had very good reception, so it was estimated that the sound had been picked up.
Fortunately, the live broadcast environment was very noisy at that time. Not only was Director Qiao speaking, but many staff members were also speaking in places where the camera could not see. Looking at the comments on the big screen, no one noticed this.
"I forgot, I forgot. Thanks to Teacher Er for reminding me..." Director Qiao patted his chest and tried to calm down his anger.
"No need to call me teacher," Bai Jinshu said softly, "Just call me Ersi. We are staff members now. What happened?"
"Oh, yes, staff." With this interruption, Director Qiao's anger subsided a lot. He glared at the staff fiercely, and his low voice could not hide his anger. "Who told them to leave? Didn't they say they couldn't go out after last night? The production team has a curfew, so you should just treat my words as bullshit, right?"
"Who went out?" Director Qiao stared at the staff member behind him, "What time did you come back?"
"A little after two o'clock..." The staff member shrank his neck, "It's exactly... the time when the murder happened."
Director Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Good boy, you really know how to pick the time. If you come back earlier or later, you won't get this effect!"
"Director Qiao... and..." the staff member lowered his voice, "When these four people came back, they didn't dare to go to the front. They came back from the small garden at the back and were not captured by the surveillance camera."
Bai Jinshu saw that Director Qiao's face turned red all of a sudden, obviously because the blood suddenly rushed to his face and he was too angry.
The program crew broadcast live for thirteen consecutive days, and they were under a lot of pressure regarding the program process and the entire behind-the-scenes preparations. Also, because it was live, nothing that happened could be edited, so it was not outrageous that the staff had access control.
But now these four people who slipped out did not enter through the main gate and were not captured by the surveillance cameras. Doesn't that mean they are much more suspicious than others?
Although no one would think that the person was killed by the staff of the program team, it is not a good reputation to be associated with a homicide case, especially since it is the first live broadcast of an old variety show like "Cross-border Co-living". It is no wonder that Director Qiao is so angry.
If it weren't for the live broadcast and Bai Jinshu beside him, he would probably have lost his temper right now.
"What's wrong?" A calm voice came from beside him.
Bai Jinshu turned around and saw that this big shot in the economic circle had walked over at some point, his inquiring eyes moving between him and Director Qiao.
"Four staff members from the team went out last night and didn't come back until after 2 a.m.," Bai Jinshu explained quickly in a low voice, "It is said that after 2 a.m. is the current estimated time of death for the deceased."
Director Qiao stood up angrily and turned around several times, not disguising the irritation on his face: "Teacher Er... Er Si."
He leaned over and looked at the screen in front of him: "I will go find those four people with Xiao Dong first. The camera is still live now. You guys go back first. The specific arrangements of the program team will be discussed when we go to work tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Bai Jinshu nodded, watched Director Qiao walk away, then turned to Herbisk and asked, "What's wrong? Why did you come here suddenly?"
What is this big guy doing here suddenly?
"The live broadcast you clicked on," Herbiskus said concisely, "had some minor changes."
"A small change?" Bai Jinshu looked up at the sofa. The three people on the sofa, except the yellow-haired man, were now holding their mobile phones, and seemed to be watching the same live broadcast.
Huangmao was still lying there pretending to sleep, but he probably had seen what was happening in the live broadcast.
"What happened?" Bai Jinshu retracted his gaze and reached out to take his phone from the other person's hand.
The person in the phone appears to be walking.
"The man climbing the tree was chased down by the security guards," Herbiskus pointed at the screen. "He was planning to go back to sleep, but someone gave him a flower and asked him to continue filming."
He probably meant to give a gift.
Bai Jinshu's fingers quickly flipped upwards, and sure enough, a few minutes ago, someone gave the anchor [A天高海阔] a large firework worth 10,000 RMB, and he instantly became the number one on the fan club list.
[Brother Tiangaohaikuo, please don't log off. You are the only one who can take pictures of what is happening here. If the security guard chases you away, just go to the back. This area is full of coconut trees. They don't have time to care about you.]
This person gave the host 10,000 gifts and asked him to climb another tree.
"So now the anchor is walking in the other direction?" Bai Jinshu poured five glasses of water and he and Herbiskus returned to the camera to hand them to everyone, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of incident is this?"
"You didn't see it just now," Hong Conghua took a sip of water and added in a low voice, "The viewer in the barrage just now was crazy. The guy said he didn't know the way and was a little scared to walk on the road so late. Besides, his wife and children were sleeping in his hotel room. He was afraid that his wife and children would worry if he was out for too long, so he wanted to go back."
"Guess what happened," she paused, "the audience member bought five sports cars and five big rockets."
"So much?" Bai Jinshu paused, "How much is it?"
"More than 50,000 RMB." Xiaoying whispered, "This doesn't even include the other gifts he gave away later. Look at his fan value, he has already given away more than 70,000 RMB."
Huang Mao posted a message in the group: [This guy spent more than 70,000 yuan in one night just to let the anchor climb up the tree behind to continue the live broadcast.]
"Is it that serious..." Bai Jinshu frowned.
More than 70,000 is not a small number for ordinary people. They spend so much money just to watch the anchor continue to shoot the crime scene from a distance of tens of thousands of miles away, with only blurry blocks of color left.
"And then, the anchor agreed?" he whispered.
"Isn't that certain?" Hong Conghua said with a click of the tongue. "This Tiangao Haikuo said he didn't know the way, and then the guy who had given more than 70,000 comments in the barrage said he knew the way and would show him the way. This Tiangao Haikuo said he was worried that his wife and children were not safe in the house, so this guy said that you should send out the house number and other things so that the brothers on the scene can help you protect your sister-in-law and children. Anyway, he just spent money as soon as he hesitated, and he spent money as soon as he hesitated. Money can move people's hearts, and this anchor must have been unable to resist and went."
"We're on our way there now." Xiaoying added.
"Look, there are fewer people watching the live broadcast here," Hong Conghua gestured for him to look at the big screen, "most of the people who came to watch the show have gone to that live broadcast room, and the ones who are left here are fans."
As expected.
It seems that there are basically no passers-by on the barrage now, and the content that has been swiped has become very obvious fans' comments.
[Should we stop recording the show?]
[If we stop recording, when can we start recording again? 】
[If we stop recording... it will probably be a long time before we can start recording again. Cross-border co-hosting shows are often not short, and it is difficult to schedule such a long period of time. ]
[Brother Huangmao has a full schedule. After recording this program, he will go to France to compete. After the competition, he will fly to the United States in half a month. How can he spare thirteen days to record the program? ]
[It seems that Director Nian and his team have an inspection project that will be held in more than half a month. The institute’s official website has been promoting it for a long time, and it will take more than half a month. ]
[Er Si Ge has an announcement, and the follow-up announcements posted on his agent’s Weibo are all full. ]
【hiss……】
[That big guy with a long name probably won’t be able to spare another thirteen consecutive days... He’s a business elite, and the company probably won’t be able to function without him for a month.]
"I really don't have time for re-recording. I can't spare thirteen days in the next few months." Hong Conghua followed him and looked at the barrage, frowning, "What did Director Qiao say when you went to see him just now?"
"Director Qiao said he didn't know either," Bai Jinshu said helplessly, "At this point, we were all pulled into this job on short notice. Let alone the production team and the company's top management, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning for a meeting to decide what to do specifically."
"Hey, what's going on?" Hong Conghua frowned and sighed, "Now we can only hope that the case can be solved tonight and the harm can be minimized as much as possible."
Everyone around nodded in agreement.
As time went by, the police who came to inquire finally arrived at the room.
The six guests, as the most valuable people in the program group, were questioned individually first. After checking the surveillance and confirming that the six people did not go out, the police asked some routine questions such as whether they heard any strange noises or had any clues to provide, and then turned to question the remaining staff.
Because the police arrived at the villa, the live broadcast that the director had been wanting to turn off was finally turned off.
The six guests who had been questioned were either sitting or leaning on the sofa. Although everyone could have gone to bed now, after what happened, no one could sleep.
Without live broadcast, the guests spoke more bluntly.
"What's the rumor now?" Huang Mao leaned against the sofa, scrolling through his phone. "I saw Weibo went viral. Ersi, do you know anyone? Just ask."
"Me?" Bai Jinshu blinked in surprise, "Of course I don't know him, why do you think I can ask him?"
"You're a celebrity," Huang Mao said confidently, "Don't celebrities have a wide social circle? Friends of friends of friends must know something, right? Do you know the Rule of Seven?"
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you," Bai Jinshu shrugged. "My social circle is very narrow, and I don't have many friends in it."
"Ah?" Huang Mao let out a sigh of relief. "Is it possible that our show will encounter a murder case on the first day and then be over?"
"The team is still waiting for me to get sponsorship," he wailed in a drawn-out tone, "Can we catch the murderer tonight..."
"Maybe there is no murderer," Hong Conghua suddenly said, "Then you all watched the live broadcast, right?"
Another staff member walked out of the temporary questioning room behind him. Hong Conghua turned his head to take a look and continued, "The guy behind Tiangaohaikuo climbed a closer tree and took a clearer picture. The comments all said that the two men must have hacked each other and died together."
"They hacked each other to death..." Xiaoying whispered, "Could it be that a couple turned against each other and then fought and hacked each other to death?"
It would be better if there was no murderer. Most likely, the reputation of this resort will not be good in the future, and the variety show will be tied to the label of live broadcast of a murder case.
Everyone looked at each other and sighed.
"Let me see how that guy is doing," Huang Mao opened the live broadcast software, "He has been broadcasting live, and the security guards are probably arresting him based on the live broadcast."
As he spoke, he opened the live broadcast of [A天高海阔].
The big brother on the screen seemed to have gone back and said that he was broadcasting live and would be caught by security guards no matter where he went. He would not broadcast tonight, really not.
"I said the security guards weren't stupid..." Hong Conghua complained, "His live broadcast had already reached the top of the living area in the middle of the night. The security guards must have caught him based on the live broadcast."
The sky is high and the sea is vast. He walked and walked until he came to his villa, and suddenly he stopped.
The voice that had been chatting with everyone also stopped abruptly.
"What, what happened?" Xiaoying leaned forward a little worriedly.
"The sky is high and the sea is vast but suddenly it is still..." Before Huangmao could finish his words, a loud roar came from the phone.
The sound startled everyone. Huangmao didn't react in time and his phone fell to the ground without him even holding it.
The surrounding staff were also startled and looked in the direction of the guests.
Bai Jinshu frowned, squatted down and picked up Huangmao's cell phone.
Tian Gao Hai Kuo, who was broadcasting live, seemed to have thrown his phone to the ground. Now the camera was facing the sky, and all he could see was the ceiling of a villa and the audience below who were as frightened as they were and were asking what had happened.
At the same time, the sound of the vast sky and sea suddenly rang out.
With a creepy crying tone and broken voice.
He said: "My wife was killed, and my son was also killed."
"Hiss..." The yellow-haired man who was about to take back the phone suddenly felt his hand tremble. He subconsciously took a breath of cold air and took a small step back.
Bai Jinshu leaned back slightly and bumped into Herbisk's shoulder.
The volume of Huangmao's cell phone was very loud, and all the staff around heard what he said.
In the hall of the villa, a chill suddenly rose behind everyone.
