Chapter 306 Perfect Confession
Due to the grand scale of the concert, Xia Lili established a close security linkage mechanism with the local police station in advance, and had the direct line number of police officer Huang Yuelin saved in her mobile phone.
Just before the performance began, she also assisted the police in arresting several ticket scalpers at the entrance, and the two sides cooperated very well.
The situation was urgent at the moment, so she called police officer Huang Yuelin without hesitation.
The moment the call was connected, Xia Lili breathed a sigh of relief.
"Officer Huang, I have an emergency here."
Xia Lili's tone was a little more anxious than usual, but she remained calm. "Someone just tried to disrupt the concert, but luckily I was able to hold him down. I'd be sorry if you could bring a few comrades over."
Huang Yuelin's voice immediately became tense when he heard this: "Is everyone okay? Are any of the audience members injured?"
"The audience is fine, there's no trouble," Xia Lili explained quickly. "Someone tampered with the sound system. Singer Su Wanqing suddenly fainted during her performance and has been taken to the hospital. The exact cause is still unknown."
As she spoke, she glanced at the subdued male assistant.
Huang Yuelin responded decisively from the other end of the line: "Okay, we'll be there in fifteen minutes. You stabilize the scene first and pay attention to safety!"
A scene that Xia Lili had foreseen suddenly flashed through her mind: Su Wanqing covered her ears with a painful look on her face. The doctor finally diagnosed her with permanent hearing loss.
She suddenly remembered the time when she met Su Wanqing in Country M years ago.
The tablet screen in the male assistant's hand clearly displayed the electronic medical record of the Mayo Clinic.
Although she was unable to see the details of the diagnosis at the time, she knew very well that Mayo's foremost expertise was in the field of otolaryngology.
Could it be that Su Wanqing already had hearing problems at that time?
What frightened her even more was that at tonight's concert, so many people heard the piercing noise, but only Su Wanqing fainted on the spot. Was it just because Su Wanqing was standing in the center of the stage?
The more likely scenario is that Su Wanqing's ears are more fragile than those of ordinary people.
This also further confirmed Xia Lili's guess that Su Wanqing's hearing loss was planned, not an accident!
The thought of the sky-high compensation that eventually appeared in the hallucination.
Her brother and Heqi Entertainment had to pay a whopping 370 million yuan in compensation to Su Wanqing, and the share price of Heqi Entertainment, in which she held shares, also plummeted.
Xia Lili couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart.
Fortunately, the male assistant was caught and the scene of him attacking Li Xiao was recorded.
The basic evidence is all there, so don't try to put the blame on her brother!
Xia Lili quickly turned to Li Xiao and said decisively, "Brother Zhang from the control room, what's your full name?"
Li Xiao immediately replied, "Zhang Yude."
Xia Lili's eyes flashed, and she gave the order without hesitation: "Notify the security personnel immediately, and control him first. Don't let him leave the scene!"
"No one is allowed to enter the control room right now. Have security guard the control room."
"Understood!" Li Xiao responded without hesitation, then picked up the walkie-talkie and began to convey instructions.
Under the efficient command of the on-site ace agent Ming Zhou, the concert that was once interrupted has been successfully resumed.
Xia Lili stood backstage, listening to her brother's clear and steady singing coming from the front stage, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the situation was brought under control in time, which neither affected the overall effect of Jiangcheng's first performance nor destroyed the viewing experience of the audience.
The only regret is that I couldn’t sit in the VIP seats and watch my brother’s first concert with my parents.
But it doesn’t matter, there will be many more opportunities in the future.
When police officer Huang Yuelin and three other officers quickly walked into the backstage of the concert, the scene was still filled with a tense atmosphere.
He immediately spotted Xia Lili standing by the control console and quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Xia, we're here. Where is the suspect I mentioned on the phone just now?"
Xia Lili opened the door of a lounge and found Ou Yan handcuffed to a chair, unable to move.
Xia Lili calmly pointed and said, "Officer Huang, that's him. I've got him under control. His name is Ou Yan, and he's the assistant to singer Su Wanqing."
Although he was not clear about the identity of the male assistant beside Su Wanqing, Mingzhou was able to find someone to investigate and find out clearly.
Mingzhou had just sent him the information of this male assistant. Before Su Wanqing became famous, this male assistant had been working for Su Wanqing.
Officer Huang signaled the police officers to come forward, and two police officers held Ou Yan up, one on each side. After Xia Lili uncuffed Ou Yan, the police officers put new handcuffs on Ou Yan neatly.
Ou Yan struggled to raise his head, his face full of unwillingness, but he said nothing.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Xia." Officer Huang nodded and turned to the technical officer behind him. "Old Chen, take someone to check the sound system to see if it has been tampered with."
Lao Chen from the technical team is an experienced acoustic testing expert. He and his assistant quickly opened the outer casing of the mixing console and carefully checked the internal circuits.
A few minutes later, he looked up, pushed his glasses, and said in a serious tone, "Officer Huang, we've discovered a problem. A low-frequency noise generator with a frequency range of 20-150Hz has been artificially installed in the sound system. This device will produce abnormal resonance, triggering sonic interference at specific times."
He pointed to a hidden connection inside the mixing console and continued, "The installation was very professional. It connected directly to the main output line, bypassing the security protection system. This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was carefully planned."
While the technicians were conducting the inspection, another group of police officers brought the control room operator Zhang Yude to the scene.
Zhang Yude looks to be in his thirties, wearing black-framed glasses, and looks nervous but not panicked.
The police separated the two for preliminary questioning, but surprisingly, Ou Yan and Zhang Yude's confessions were surprisingly consistent.
When Ou Yan was asked about his motives, he suddenly became emotional. "I did it all! I've followed Su Wanqing for so many years, and I've developed feelings for her... but she never even looks at me! I can't stand the fact that she always treats me like an ordinary assistant..."
His voice choked for a moment, then turned sharp: "Since I can't have it, then I will destroy her most precious singing voice!"
In another temporary interrogation room, Zhang Yude's confession perfectly matched Ou Yan's.
He described his modus operandi in detail: "I had already installed a noise plug-in in the digital mixing console's system, setting it to trigger automatically when the performance reached the chorus of the second song. To ensure that there would be no mistakes, I also secretly changed the wiring of the patch panel to bypass the protection circuit of the main output."
When asked about his relationship with Ou Yan, Zhang Yude frankly admitted: "Ou Yan approached me and said he was willing to pay me 200,000 yuan to do this. I needed the money, so I agreed."
Both of them firmly denied that Su Wanqing had anything to do with the incident and took all the responsibility on themselves.
Ou Yan even emphasized excitedly: "I planned all of this just to get revenge on Su Wanqing!"
As Officer Huang listened to the confessions from both sides, his brows furrowed more and more.
He walked over to Xia Lili and lowered his voice, "Miss Xia, what do you think? The confessions of these two are so consistent, it's like they were rehearsed in advance."
Xia Lili stared at the two people being taken away, her eyes deep. "It's indeed too perfect, too perfect to be true. But I believe that the truth will eventually come out."
