After the producer came the art director.

She was in her early thirties, with long messy hair tied into a bun, and a serious face, even looking a little mean.

"Is there something wrong?" The art director said irritably, "I just went to bed, is there anything that can't be discussed tomorrow?"

"I'm afraid I don't have to work tomorrow, so I'm sorry to bother you for a while." Jian Jing continued to use trust to close the relationship between the two parties, "Let's just chat casually."

The art director frowned, agreed reluctantly, and stepped aside to invite her in.

Jian Jing looked around, and the art director's room was also messy, with drafts piled up on the desk and bed, and simulation software running on the laptop.

The ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and even though the window was open, there was still a strong smell of cigarette smoke.

"Sit anywhere." The art director sat in the armchair, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette. "What do you want to ask?" Jian

Jing got straight to the point: "What do you think of Qu Jie's death?"

The art director said indifferently: "No opinion, it's not me who died."

"I heard that Qu Jie is not very popular."

"There is no shortage of idiots in the world." The art director swore calmly, "It's not a pity for such a person to die. Don't expect me to have much sympathy for him - I have to sympathize with myself. I have been preparing for a drama for several years and encountered such a thing just after it started. I don't know what to do next."

Jian Jing said: "As far as you know, who has such a murderous motive for Qu Jie?"

The art director shrugged: "I don't know, maybe many people."

"You came back at 11:50 tonight. Did you hear anything?" she asked.

"No." The art director said without hesitation, "I took a shower after I came back, and then I was busy with my work. I didn't notice anything." "

Is that so..." Jian Jing looked at her window, "Has this window been open all the time?"

The art director said, "It's been open for a while."

"Do you remember the time?"

She thought for a moment and said, "I remember it was just after 12 o'clock. I felt stuffy, so I smoked a cigarette at the window and didn't close it."

Jian Jing immediately became interested: "So, if someone walked behind the window, you should be able to find it?"

"Maybe." She didn't give a definite answer.

Jian Jing walked to the window and leaned out.

After a while, she got the answer and said goodbye to the art director: "Thank you for your cooperation, sorry to bother you."

After 12 o'clock, the photography director came back. He was also the chief photographer. He was 46 years old this year. Like many photographers, he was muscular and tall. Standing there, he was like an iron tower.

However, in stark contrast to his appearance, this photographer spoke slowly and teased her.

"I didn't expect that Teacher Jian not only writes mystery novels, but can also solve cases." He said, "When Lao Li told me this, I couldn't believe it."

Jian Jing: "I just happened to offer some ideas, I hope it can be of help."

"That's the best. If you call the police, the media will definitely be like flies that smell something, asking for information endlessly, and the fans..." He shook his head, looking annoyed, "Forget it, let's get back to the topic, what do you want to ask?"

Jian Jing: "Do you know anything about Qu Jie?"

"I'm not very familiar with him and we've never worked together before. I've only heard some news about him, and his reputation is not very good." The photography director said bluntly.

Jian Jing pretended to be curious: "What's wrong with him?"

"He doesn't have much ability, but he has a bad temper and thinks he's a big deal." He said, "But to be honest, there are too many people like him. It's not surprising to me. If he couldn't make money, he would have failed long ago."

"But I think his acting is just average." She was really surprised.

"Times have changed. Whether a star can make money has nothing to do with whether he can act." The director of photography sighed, "Fans are willing to spend money, the market buys into his style, and the boss treats him as a treasure."

Jian Jing said, "Will anyone be jealous of him for this?"

"Of course there are colleagues, but no one here has a grudge against him. If you have to say, it's only Xiaobai, but you know better than me that he doesn't need to compete with artists for reputation. Now filming is just for fun." He was straightforward, "I also wonder, who has such a deep hatred that he would kill someone to silence him."

"Do you think that the grudges between him and the people in the crew are far from this?"

The director of photography said slowly, "If it's just because of work, there's no need. We can't say that everyone in our crew is experienced, but there are many more weirdos in the circle than you think. Who hasn't encountered them? Murder? There's absolutely no need. Everyone will go their separate ways in three months."

Jian Jing heard the hidden meaning: "What if it's not just because of work?"

"Then I don't know." The director of photography said, "Anyway, Qu Jie and I have no intersection. He is dead, and I have more troubles than benefits."

"Your room is very close to his. Did you hear any movement when you came back?"

"No."

"Was there any sound over there?"

The director of photography thought about it and still shook his head.

"Very quiet?"

"Nothing special anyway."

"Were you in the room from the time you came back until the body was discovered?"

He raised his eyebrows: "Do you suspect me? Or do you want an alibi?"

"To be honest, you are a big suspect." Jian Jing said seriously, "Qu Jie was strangled to death. It is more likely that the murderer was a strong man."

The director of photography hissed and denied repeatedly: "I didn't kill him."

"Do you have an alibi?"

He shook his head regretfully: "It's the middle of the night, who can I find to prove it?"

"Did you talk on the phone with relatives and friends?"

He shook his head.

"It's okay to see other people's actions." She reminded again.

But the director of photography said: "I closed the doors and windows, and I didn't see anything."

Having gained nothing, Jian Jing had to leave with regret.

Director Li was the last one.

When I asked him, it was already dawn.

Director Li was in low spirits, sitting under the awning in the courtyard smoking a cigarette, and asked, "When will the investigation be completed?"

Jian Jing: "...not so fast."

"It's almost dawn. We have to rearrange the work this morning and can only start work in the afternoon." He was very annoyed. "Since the person is dead, it's a good opportunity to delete everything and reshoot it. This will cost a lot of money."

Jian Jing looked at him secretly.

Director Li muttered to himself, "If I had known earlier, I should have been more resolute and not let Qu Jie join the crew. Sigh."

"Should I have known earlier?" she was surprised, "Did you know that something would happen to him?"

Director Li reacted belatedly and said quickly, "No, no, that's not what I meant. It's just that, alas, Master Long and I met before, and he said that my career would be hindered by a villain, so I should be careful. At that time, I thought it might be Xiao Qu. There was a little rumor at that time..."

He said vaguely, "I just wanted to delay it this way and that. Who knows or... Sigh!"

"When was that before?" Jian Jing asked, "Before the filming started?"

Director Li said, "In June and July, I was on vacation in Malaysia." Jian

Jing showed a subtle look.

Master Long is a liar no matter how you look at it. After all, this vague statement of "being hindered by villains" or "being entangled by resentment" is like astrology. No matter how you say it, you can find a corresponding point.

But his accuracy rate is a bit high. Yesterday, he said that Qu Jie would encounter troubles, and he died in the early morning. Is it a coincidence, or a real skill, or... the mastermind behind the murder?

With his mind racing, Jian Jing couldn't help but test: "What do you think about Qu Jie's death?"

Director Li hesitated.

"I'm not a policeman, and what you said is not testimony, don't worry." Jian Jing comforted skillfully.

Director Li then lowered his voice and said half-heartedly: "It must be a ghost."

Jian Jing: "..." Although people in the entertainment industry generally believe that ghosts exist, it is better to believe in them than not to believe in them, but this is the first time I have seen someone so superstitious.

"Why?" She said patiently.

Director Li said confidently: "I heard that the female ghost kills ungrateful men. She must have targeted Xiao Qu and killed him because she knew he was messing around."

Jian Jing's eyes changed slightly and asked intriguingly: "Was he so messed around that he would be killed by a female ghost?"

Director Li sighed and showed an indescribable subtle expression.

"The ghost girl was abandoned after she became pregnant. Did Qu Jie do something like this?" She grasped the key point sharply. "What do you know?"

Director Li hesitated slightly and said tactfully: "Little Qu is young and knows how to play. According to my estimation, she must have been pregnant. This is not surprising."

"Is there such a girl in the crew?"

Director Li shook his head: "I don't know. You might as well ask his agent."

"In addition to personal morality issues, does he have any other conflicts with the crew?"

Director Li smiled bitterly: "If you have to say, it might be me. I scolded him this afternoon. But what's the point of me killing him? Now I have to find someone to replace him."

"Where are the others?"

"There were some quarrels, but I don't think it was serious enough to kill someone." Director Li said pertinently, "There are many artists with bad tempers. We are just working together, so it's not that serious."

Jian Jing was thoughtful. At present, everyone in the crew has similar opinions. They think that if Qu Jie died, it would affect the progress of filming and cause unnecessary trouble. There is no need for her to do anything unnecessary.

"What is the relationship between the leading actress and Qu Jie?" She found a new entry point.

Director Li said, "It's a bit ambiguous."

Jian Jing made a gesture to ask him to speak carefully.

"When they worked together before." Director Li replied vaguely, "I just heard about it." Jian

Jing checked the time on her phone.

The leading actress married her husband three years ago, and worked with Qu Jie a year and a half ago.

Good guys.

It seems necessary to ask Miss Bei right away.

The sun has risen completely. Jian Jing eats the breakfast brought by Jiang Baiyan and knocks on Miss Bei's door with confidence.

She is applying a facial mask: "Is there anything?"

Jian Jing tells her that she has taken over the investigation of this case.

Miss Bei was not interested at all and said absentmindedly, "Really? I see."

"I have a few questions for you." Jian Jing sat down and looked at her for a moment, and decided to drop a bombshell at the beginning, "You've been in a bad mood recently. Is it related to Qu Jie?"

Miss Bei looked over in surprise: "What?" She seemed surprised, "I don't understand what you mean."

"It's just a guess." Jian Jing smiled, "I've seen your previous dramas, your acting is pretty good, but your condition is obviously not right these two days, and you have NG several times."

Miss Bei's face suddenly gloomy: "That has nothing to do with Qu Jie."

"That's strange." Jian Jing said to herself, "I thought he was talking to you when he said those harsh words before."

Qu Jie said harsh words twice yesterday, once after the exorcism ceremony and once after he had a quarrel with Director Li. At first glance, he seemed to be venting his anger, but Jian Jing was already a senior observation card and would never miss his glance at Miss Bei.

In addition, she just "consulted" Jiang Baiyan, and he confirmed that Miss Bei and her husband are both playboys. It is common for them to flirt with others during filming. They have even been photographed by paparazzi. However, the couple still have a loving personality in public.

Two people who have cheated on their husbands in marriage, just because their husbands have hooked up with others, they are absent-minded for so long?

Jian Jing boldly guessed that she was not depressed because of her husband's infidelity, but the real reason was probably Qu Jie.

"Did he really not threaten or blackmail you?" she asked.
