Chapter 359 Character Extraction



The cruise ship has 10 floors in total, and the live broadcast location is 7-10 floors.

The 7th floor is the guest room area, the 8th floor to the 9th floor are some scenes, such as conference halls, dance halls, and gyms, and the 10th floor is a swimming pool, helipad, and super terrace.

Among them, the guest room is the room where the guest is during the live broadcast, and it is also a pre-arranged scene.

During the live broadcast, the cameraman who follows the guest will not enter the room with the guest himself. This is a completely private area. But if a guest enters someone else's room, the audience can use the guest's perspective to check the situation in other guests' rooms.

Therefore, the audience does not have a God's perspective and can only choose to follow a guest, which is also a limited perspective.

If you choose the wrong person, you may be lonely after watching for a long time.

The camera follows Jian Jing all the way to Room 4. When she opens the door and goes in, the shooting is over.

Jian Jing closes the door and first observes the overall environment.

Compared with the regular guest rooms downstairs, the scene rooms are equally luxurious, but there are many interesting details: the enshrined Buddha statues, lush green plants, ancient radios, brass table lamps, and some rattan objects.

There is no TV, no WiFi, only landline phones.

It is full of age.

Jian Jing walks to the window and sees a brown paper bag on the desk.

Open the bag, and inside is the background setting and identity information.

The story takes place in November 1982, when Dan, a well-known Asian tycoon, is about to celebrate his 70th birthday.

He was married once, and his first wife left him two sons and a daughter. Unfortunately, his wife died of illness ten years ago, and soon after, Fuhao Dan married a young and beautiful stepwife.

In addition, he also has a deceased sister, who left behind a lovely nephew, and a brother-in-law who is still alive. He has a close relationship with him and often visits him. His ex-wife's younger brother and his family also keep in touch with him and often visit his home.

Fuhao Dan also has several old friends. This time, he also invited his old friends to attend his birthday.

The identity that Jian Jing drew was the fiancée of Fuhao Dan's youngest son. She was a dancer and was a socialite who moved around among the rich.

She climbed up to the youngest son and tried her best to become his fiancée. But the rich Dan did not agree with this marriage, and threatened that if his youngest son married her, he would not get a penny of inheritance.

But the youngest son insisted on his own way and still brought his fiancée to his father's birthday party.

What luck did she have to draw such an identity card.

She opened the closet speechlessly. Oh my goodness, there were some revealing and seductive clothing styles inside, frivolous and frivolous. She was definitely a cannon fodder female supporting role in a suspense drama who would not survive the first three episodes.

But she had already drawn it, so she couldn't regret it.

Jian Jing pinched her nose and tried on the clothes, and found that the size was still close-fitting, only the evening dress was not suitable. But it didn't matter, the plot was filmed tomorrow, and she could just ask the props team to modify it tonight.

The next step was to get familiar with the room.

She searched around in her room and found some documents.

After looking at them for a while, she had an idea and hid them again.

During this time, the staff knocked on the door and handed her a list, detailing the new identities of each guest.

She thanked them, took out a pen and paper, and sorted out the story settings.

Rich Dan - NPC.

If I guessed correctly, this person should be the character played by Daniel, and most likely he is also deceased.

The others checked their names one by one.

Wife: [Japanese] Kumiko Terauchi (character: wealthy wife)

Wife's younger sister: [Korean] Jin Laner (character: student)

Eldest son: [New] Li Kangna (character: one of the chaebol leaders)

Eldest daughter-in-law: [Russian] Valeria (character: wealthy wife)

Second daughter: [Chinese] Zhang Xueer (character: wealthy daughter, painter)

Second son-in-law: [Korean] Liu Xiuzhi (character: gallery owner)

Youngest son: [Korean] Park Minzhe (character: rich second generation spendthrift)

Fiancee: [Chinese] Jian Jing (character: dancer, socialite)

Brother- in-law : [中] Wu Lie (Character setting: lawyer)

Nephew: [中] Jiang Baiyan (Character setting: backbone of the chaebol)

Ex-wife's younger brother: [Russia] Andrei (Character setting: unemployed)

Ex-wife's younger brother's son: [Japan] Kojima Wataru (Character setting: college student)

Dan's friend: [Japan] Ishikawa Keito (Character setting: retired soldier)

Dan's friend and singer: [Thailand] Linnaier (Character setting: famous singer)

Dan's friend's son and private doctor: [India] Raj Sharma (Character setting: doctor)

The above are all the people who participated in the rich Dan's birthday banquet.

If nothing unexpected happens, they are all suspects. The motive for murder is most likely inheritance.

Look at who they are. The ex-wife is dead, and the younger brother's family is still clinging to her. The younger sister is dead, and the brother-in-law's family is still clinging to her. The three children and their spouses, the stepwife and the younger sister... are more exciting than the internal struggle of Jiang Baiyan's family.

As expected of a variety show, the conflict was well arranged.

As Jian Jing was complaining, there was another knock on the door.

This time, the staff brought a large box over: "Please draw a capsule toy."

Capsule toy? Sure, she knows how to adapt to local customs.

Jian Jing reached in and touched it, making sure that the balls inside were about the same size and weight, and then she picked one at random.

"Have fun playing the game." The staff closed the door.

She tossed the capsule toy in her hand, twisted it open, and a piece of chocolate fell out.

She peeled it open and tasted it, and it was so sweet.

There is so much sugar in the chocolate, it must be made by Americans.

She squeezed the mineral water, drank it while opening the cat's eye on the door.

Outside, the staff knocked on the door one by one, and everyone drew a capsule toy. And all the capsule toy looked exactly the same, and the naked eye could not tell the difference.

She took two sips of water and thought, this is when the killer starts to show up.

According to the previous situation in the European episode, the program team claimed that they did not know who drew the murderer, and it was a completely open game, but is it really OK to play like this?

As we all know, reality shows are scripted.

You still have to be careful and don't overestimate the integrity of the production team.

Before the official live broadcast, the pilot was broadcast.

The host introduced their process: "In order to make the show more exciting, dear audience, we have designed the best confidentiality process."

"First, please look at everyone's character drawing, one shot to the end, it is all random drawing, no one knows what number they will draw."

At this time, the screen appears with the guests drawing characters.

"This number not only represents the identity, but also represents the order of the second draw." The host said, "The identity of the murderer is hidden in the fifteen capsules - Oh, I think you must be very curious about how we decided on the murderer. This is randomly selected by our consultant, Mr. Scott, the winner of the reasoning grand prize."

The video began to play.

November 1, Scott's home.

"Hi, I'm Scott, welcome to my home." Scott took out a special key, "Do you see my key? This safe only has one key. If it is disassembled violently, the safe will be locked and cannot be opened."

He shook the special key in his hand: "Next, I will randomly choose a ball, and the person who draws this ball will become the murderer."

The camera shot 360 degrees to ensure that the lock and safe were intact.

Then, Scott entered the room with the small box.

Fifteen minutes later, he opened the door and asked the staff to move out the re-locked box. In front of the camera, he put the only key into the special box.

Then, the box was also locked.

"This box will be sent to the headquarters of "The King of Reasoning". The director, the editor, and the producer will lock it and send it back. I will open my lock." Scott pushed his glasses and smiled, "This can ensure that no one knows the real answer before the truth is revealed."

The camera turned and began to play the subsequent encryption process.

The locked safe was sent to the headquarters for storage, and the box was sent to the office. The director, the editor, and the producer locked their own locks and kept their own keys. The whole process was supervised by a notary.

Finally, a seal was affixed and each signed.

Then, the box was sent back to Scott's home, and he unlocked his lock, leaving the remaining three locks.

The camera switched, and the time showed the second day of shooting.

The wooden box was verified to be intact from all angles, and the front of the seal was no different from the previous one.

The three of them unlocked their own locks, and the director took out the only key, opened the safe, and took out the sealed box inside.

The camera followed the staff all the way to the door of the guest who drew No.

1. Valeria, who drew No. 1, followed the instructions, unsealed the seal, and drew the capsule.

Then it was No. 2, No. 3, No. 4... Soon, No. 15 was also drawn.

The screen flashed "sizzling" and a countdown popped up.

The story is about to begin.

The afternoon of the second day is free time.

Guests can visit the scenes on the 7th to 10th floors at will, familiarize themselves with their own scripts, and act with the partners they need.

Jiang Baiyan is lucky and has no problem communicating with Wu Lie. The father and son quickly finished the few scenes they have.

Simplicity is painful. Her fiancé is Korean and can barely communicate in English, but he is a middle-aged man in his forties.

It turns out that there is such a big difference between being in your thirties and being in your thirties.

Kang Mucheng is thirty-two years old, handsome, successful in his career, stable and reliable. Except for working too much overtime and being a bit strict in urging for manuscripts, there is almost nothing wrong with him.

And Park Minzhe is thirty-seven years old, not ugly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. But even if he changes into a suit and dresses up properly, there is always a lingering sense of generation gap.

She only wants to call him "Agassi" instead of "Oppa".

"Hello, Miss Jian." This was the first sentence he said to Jian Jing, "I never thought I had such a beautiful fiancée like you."

Jian Jing: "..."

Park Minzhe looked at her wantonly, but fortunately he was not very aggressive. However, the scrutinizing and suspicious eyes were not much better: "Perhaps, the game has already begun."

"So?" Jian Jing answered reluctantly.

He asked, "Who could be the murderer?"

Jian Jing said dryly, "It is meaningless to discuss the murderer before the case happens."

"No, no, I think this is the time when the murderer is most likely to be exposed." Park Minzhe does have the insight of a reporter. He scanned the crowd: "Compared to those who are willing to go out and socialize, people who disappear are obviously more suspicious."

"Because they are busy thinking about the plan?" Jian Jing thought about it and became interested in chatting, "Do you think that the person who drew the murderer has a script?"

Park Minzhe smiled and asked back: "Are you testing me? If you ask me, even if there is a script, only the murderer has it. What do you think?"

Jian Jing did not comment: "Maybe."

"Why are you curious about this?" Park Minzhe asked her in return.

"Just asking."

Uncle Park smiled, of course he didn't believe her, but he didn't mean to continue to go deeper. He chatted for a few words and left.

Jian Jing walked into the restaurant and poured herself a glass of champagne.

Over there, the group of friends was also getting used to each other. They were set up to be friends for many years, but when Japanese English and Thai English bumped into each other, both of them had distorted expressions.

"Hey, can you make way?" asked the Russian girl Valeria.

Jian Jing made way.

She took a bottle of vodka, opened the bottle neatly, and poured it directly into her mouth.

Jian Jing: "Hiss."

"Want some?" Valeria asked friendly.

Jian Jing shook her head and couldn't help asking, "Can dancers drink?"

"No problem, I don't have any performances recently." Valeria answered briskly. At this time, she saw another Russian, Andrei, and waved: "Want some?"

Andrei shook his head and asked, "Did you see the island?"

The two girls shook their heads.

The tall and mighty man said irritably, "I can't find him anywhere."

"Are you looking for Kojima-kun?" Terauchi Kumiko, who played the wife, interrupted the conversation and smiled apologetically, "He seems to be a little unwell and has been resting in the room."

"Unwell?" Valeria pushed back her golden hair, half tentatively and half jokingly, "Could he have drawn the murderer?"

Jian Jing recalled her impression of Kojima Wataru and complained, "Not necessarily, he may just be a stay-at-home."
