"Tang Miaomiao, if this is your attitude, we'll just accept it. Even if it's an attempted murder, it can still be punished with imprisonment for three to ten years, plus a fine. While we can't say you won't survive, your life will definitely be changed."
When she heard about the consequences, Tang Miaomiao's expression changed.
"I, I..."
This is a very serious outcome. Her career is on the rise, and we can't let something like this happen.
"If you believe you are innocent, then produce the evidence."
Throughout this time, Qi Jiu remained silent. Although she was sitting next to her, she acted as if she didn't care about anything. Anyone who didn't know better would think that this matter had nothing to do with her.
"I'm just concerned about Teacher Qi Jiu. I want to know who framed her, because if that person is on set, wouldn't the other actors be in danger too? I want to see if there are any surveillance cameras there so I can find more evidence."
Tang Miaomiao's voice was somewhat calm, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight tremor in it.
The two policemen sitting in front of her looked at her without saying a word for a moment, their eyes roaming over her as if appraising her.
"So, my relationship with Teacher Tang has become this good? Was everything Teacher Tang said on Weibo before really sincere?"
Suddenly, a soft voice came from the side. Although the voice was not loud, it was still quite noticeable in the quiet environment.
Tang Miaomiao looked at her and smiled. "We work in the same production crew. Although we sometimes have minor disagreements, I would never hurt you in a crucial moment."
She looked away, staring at the handcuffs on her hands, her eyes narrowing slightly.
No! She absolutely cannot let this cause her to fail! There were no security cameras at the wire work area! She checked before! This camera must have been installed later!
"Miss Qi, is there any other question? If not, let's leave it at that."
The policeman in front suddenly spoke, his expression unchanged.
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Miaomiao's lips curled up in a smile, out of sight of others.
See, she was right. She recreated the environment where the props were placed over and over again. Right now, the evidence the police have is still insufficient.
"Teacher Qi Jiu, please don't get upset. I know this has hurt you, but we can't just arrest people randomly. It seems we'll need to install some surveillance cameras on this set from now on."
Qi Jiu looked down at her rounded nails and smiled. "Who told you that without surveillance footage, we can't find the culprit? The police officer just asked me if I had any more questions, but that doesn't mean the matter ends here."
The girl's voice was light and airy, and as it reached Tang Miaomiao's ears, her expression changed.
She looked up blankly and met Qi Jiu's gaze, her face showing a forced smile, but also a guilty conscience.
"What do you mean by this, Teacher Qi Jiu? Do you already know who the culprit is?"
Qi Jiu smiled, then turned to look at the two policemen in front of her and smiled.
"Tang Miaomiao, based on the fingerprints we collected on the wires before, this prop only has your fingerprints and the fingerprints of prop master Liu Jun."
"Then why can't it be Liu Jun? There are clearly two people, so why did you only bring me? This is so unfair! Is this how the police operate now?"
The moment the police officer uttered his words, Tang Miaomiao became agitated, her voice growing louder and louder until the last sentence was practically a shout.
Seeing this, the police officers' expressions did not change, because Tang Miaomiao's reaction was within their expectations.
"Liu Jun has an alibi, and we have retrieved other surveillance footage from the set. You do not. To prove your innocence, please provide evidence."
"By the way, we also interrogated your assistant before this. You can think carefully about what you're going to say next. But I still want to remind you that deceiving the police could have more serious consequences."
After her words, Tang Miaomiao seemed to have no way out. She first looked at the two policemen in front of her, and then tentatively looked at Qi Jiu beside her.
When she saw the half-smile on Qi Jiu's lips, she realized that she had lost this game of chess completely.
Evidence? There's no alibi. Her assistant knew nothing about it. Trying to cover it up is impossible.
"Tang Miaomiao, do you have anything else to say?"
Ordinary people wouldn't approach this wire, and for safety reasons, Yan Changning wouldn't allow anyone else to touch it. Even if someone did touch it, Tang Miaomiao would have no reason to do so.
The doubts surrounding her are beyond her own ability to resolve. Therefore, her crimes are now blatantly obvious.
Finally, just as the girl stood up, her feet stopped moving.
“You can hire a lawyer, but the outcome won’t change.” Her voice was calm, but also very certain; she seemed quite confident about the result.
"Teacher Tang, you should stay here at the police station for now. Don't worry about the film crew; believe me, this opportunity is already gone for you."
The girl glanced at her and left. Tang Miaomiao, on the other hand, looked at the handcuffs on her wrists with a resentful expression, but without a trace of regret.
As soon as Qi Jiu returned to the set, she could clearly feel that although the crew was still working, the atmosphere had obviously changed. It seemed that their situation had affected quite a few people.
"Qiqi".
Qi Silin appeared out of nowhere; after returning with her, he vanished without a trace. His sudden reappearance is rather surreal.
Holding a cup of freshly brewed cold medicine, he said, "Brother, it's time to take your medicine."
Qi Jiu: "..."
"Qiqi is back!"
Qi Silin's voice successfully drew the attention of the people nearby. Yan Changning looked at Qi Jiu with deep worry in her eyes.
"How is it? Where's Tang Miaomiao?"
The girl hugged the cup, letting its warmth transfer to her palms, instantly warming her body.
"He's still at the police station; he probably won't be out for the next few days. Has the second female lead been chosen yet?"
Having gone through all this, Tang Miaomiao's career as an actress has likely come to an end with this project. No, it's more accurate to say that it's not just this project, but her entire acting career has likely ended.
After all, no director would choose someone with a criminal record to demonstrate their work, and it is very important for actors, as public figures, to set a good example.
Even the smallest mistake can be magnified many times over when it comes to a public figure.
