Yan Di listened to the girl's rambling on the other end of the phone, and quietly relayed her guesses before finally speaking in a low voice, "Did the film crew call the police?!"
If someone dies, it's impossible not to call the police.
"It was reported, and the police came over to check it before transferring the case to Hu Yue's side," Song Mengmeng replied with certainty. "So, it seems the police didn't find anything wrong."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Emperor Yan said, "Some things can't be rushed."
You'll be staying with the film crew for about a month, right? You can take your time and see. If there really is some evil lurking in the shadows, it will eventually give itself away.
Given the girl's current strength, it would be difficult for her to hide even a little bit of evil.
Hearing the Emperor's words of comfort, the little girl finally felt relieved and began to chat happily with him about other things, such as how beautiful the scenery was, and even suggested that if the Emperor had time, he should come and see it for himself.
Yan Di naturally didn't think of refusing the little girl's invitation.
He smiled and nodded in agreement. He then chatted with the girl for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, he reluctantly hung up the phone.
After finishing her phone call with Emperor Yan, Song Mengmeng quickly fell asleep. She woke up early the next morning, just in time to go to the filming location that had been set up on the mountain with Yao Anna and the others after breakfast.
And coincidentally, this filming location is the old site of the mountain god temple that Grandma Song mentioned before.
The original mountain god temple was said to have been built quite grandly. To facilitate the pilgrimage of the surrounding villagers, hundreds of layers of blue stone steps were laid all the way up. However, later, due to war and civil unrest, the main body of the mountain god temple was destroyed by a fire, leaving only ruins and the magnificent and solemn blue stone steps leading to the heavens.
Later, in order to develop tourism, the county planned to rebuild the mountain god temple.
Unexpectedly, this place caught the eye of a nearby film and television city, and after discussing it with the county, they turned it into a filming location with an ancient style.
Many fantasy and martial arts period dramas choose to film here. For example, in this drama, the interactions between the male and female leads within the sect and many large-scale scenes need to be filmed in this area.
When Song Mengmeng arrived at the filming location, she first reported to the director. After greeting him, she learned that she had no filming assignments for the next two days, so Song Mengmeng took advantage of this time to familiarize herself with the surrounding area.
The little girl led Hu Yue and Hu Da around the area, but as expected, they still found nothing.
The site of this so-called mountain god temple has now been completely transformed.
"I always felt that there might be some hidden story behind this matter that we don't know about."
While they sat down to rest in a pavilion, Hu Yue expressed her thoughts and confusion to Song Mengmeng: "After I went back yesterday, I pulled up the relevant information and checked it again."
According to our investigation, Wang Dong did indeed violate all the taboos that should not be touched here. However, if it was revenge, why would he die in such a bizarre way?!
The case came to us because the local police came and investigated, but found no signs of foul play. Because Wang Dong has been in a bad mood lately, he lives alone in a courtyard. The police searched his courtyard almost thoroughly, but still found nothing suspicious.
In this village, both the crew members and the villagers had proof that they had never left the village. Ultimately, it was determined that he was under too much pressure and chose to end his own life.
However, this method of self-destruction is really a bit too much...
That's why the local police station transferred the case to us.
The police investigated for a long time, but ultimately there was insufficient evidence of murder, and the case was closed as a suicide. Both the film crew and the local authorities were worried that news of the incident would affect filming and the local tourism industry, so they ultimately chose to keep the matter quiet.
However, although the director chose to settle the matter quietly, he ultimately suggested that the police station transfer the case to the special task force.
Because the director felt that if it was merely suicide, it would only be a matter of excessive personal pressure, and aside from regret, it wouldn't cause any other significant harm; but if it wasn't, and it was truly as the local legends said, a supernatural or supernatural act, then…
"Have you investigated Wang Dong's girlfriend?!"
Song Mengmeng's eyes swept over the pile of documents in front of her, and finally she slowly raised her head and asked Hu Yue in a low voice.
This question made Hu Yue, who had just been carefully explaining the situation to Song Mengmeng and the others, pause slightly. It seemed that, indeed, during the investigation of Wang Dong after the incident, this loophole had appeared in the investigation of his interpersonal relationships...
“I have reviewed the records related to this case. The police investigated Wang Dong’s parents, friends, and colleagues, but they did not investigate Wang Dong’s girlfriend who was supposed to get married at the end of the year.”
Moreover, according to Anna, before Wang Dong's accident, he was in a hurry to drive out to pick up his girlfriend one night. According to this statement, his girlfriend should also be one of the last people he saw before he left this world.
But why is there no record of her investigation?!
Song Mengmeng didn't think that the police would make such a big mistake.
So, perhaps there's some deeper meaning behind this that they're unaware of?
