The person in charge shook his head. "He doesn't wear a hat."
After a while, he remembered something else, "But he really likes to wear a mask, he wears a mask almost every time he comes to the set, so I don't really remember his face."
Qin Xuan and Ye Zhizhou exchanged a glance. Without a doubt, the temporary worker was the one who bought the gun in the video. The mask and hat served the purpose of preventing others from recognizing him.
“He hasn’t shown up since the incident, and I can’t find him. But don’t worry, I will keep looking.”
The person in charge assumed that Qin Xuan and Ye Zhizhou were only worried that he wouldn't help them find someone, which was why they came to ask.
When was the last time he was seen?
Qin Xuan ignored his so-called comforting words and went straight to asking what interested her.
The person in charge looked a little embarrassed, but still replied.
"On the morning of the day the accident happened, he gave me the props and then left, saying he wanted to find a place to have a smoke. Who knew he would never come back."
Through this questioning, Qin Xuan confirmed the temporary worker's suspicion.
As for the whereabouts of the temporary workers, he decided to go through each video one by one, hoping to find some clues.
Everyone in the group is helping to find a solution and wants to help Ye Zhizhou resolve this problem as soon as possible.
Ye Zhizhou himself, holding the script, was deeply moved upon seeing this scene.
She even suspected that Qin Xuan was a mascot given to her by the system, so that she wouldn't have to worry too much when problems arose, as the mascot would step in to help solve them.
Of course, she wasn't idle either. While Qin Xuan was investigating the temporary workers, she was investigating the backgrounds of Yan Bing and Li Zixi.
Li Zixi comes from a relatively ordinary family. Despite her arrogant demeanor, she actually lacks real confidence.
Yan Bing's family background seems to be relatively good. Her family sponsored her first film when she debuted, and she unexpectedly became famous. From then on, she had a smooth career in the entertainment industry, always playing the leading lady.
Between the two, Li Zixi was more likely to be targeting her, but she couldn't figure out the connection no matter how hard she tried.
She had no connection with either of these two people, so why would they be so ruthless?
Ye Zhizhou was somewhat skeptical.
By evening, the video was still not finished, so Ye Zhizhou told Qin Xuan to rest and not to overwork himself.
"Let's go out for a meal and get some fresh air, then we'll come back and continue the investigation. Anyway, he won't have gone too far."
Qin Xuan was infected by her optimism. He put away his laptop, turned to her and asked, "How do you know he won't go too far? What if he's already gone abroad?"
Ye Zhizhou curled his lip, "If they run too far and want to see what happens to me, wouldn't that be too troublesome?"
Although this is a bit ominous, it makes sense.
The temporary worker is definitely not an ordinary person. Since he had the courage to take on this job, it's not necessarily just for the money.
Qin Xuan's eyes narrowed. He was determined to protect Ye Zhizhou and prevent her from getting hurt.

In a hotel room, Yan Bing was nervously answering a phone call.
"Didn't you say you'd give me back my photos if I did what you said? Where are they?"
She deliberately lowered her voice, even though she was alone in the room, she was still worried that others would hear what she was saying, which showed that she was very guarded.
The voice coming from the other end of the phone was distorted.
"Don't worry, I'll give it to you in a couple of days. Have they noticed anything?"
There was a noise outside the room. Yan Bing subconsciously glanced outside and heard people talking in the hallway, but they were not people she knew, so she felt relieved.
"They don't suspect me, so what's the point of you doing this? They'll find out about you sooner or later."
Her words angered the person opposite her, and his tone turned fierce, "It's none of your business. Just do as I say."
Yan Bing had a bad feeling. Her voice trembled as she asked, "What else do you need me to do?"
The man laughed, but his laugh was stiff.
"Find an opportunity to get close to her, put that package inside, and don't let anyone find out."
Yan Bing's face turned deathly pale in an instant; that thing was something that ordinary people couldn't touch.
"Are you really going to do this? She has a lot of people backing her. Aren't you afraid they'll team up against you?"
The man seemed unconcerned, and instead smiled smugly, "That was before. I'm different now. She can't touch me."
Yan Bing's eyelashes fluttered slightly. He had inadvertently revealed a piece of information: he had known Ye Zhizhou before!
She concealed her thoughts, said nothing more, and agreed to the man's request.
Her gaze remained fixed on the room opposite, waiting for them to return so she could get closer to Ye Zhizhou.
Around 7 p.m., Ye Zhizhou and Qin Xuan returned from outside after dinner, and Yan Bing knocked on their door shortly afterward.
"Ye Zhizhou, you saw what happened this morning, right? I just want to explain things to you again. Would it be convenient for me to come in?"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Zhizhou's face. "Of course, come in."
Yan Bing entered the room and did not show excessive surprise upon seeing Qin Xuan.
There were only two chairs in the room. Qin Xuan sat on the bed, while Yan Bing and Ye Zhizhou sat facing each other.
"I bought fake bullets because I was worried I might accidentally hurt someone. The female lead has several gun scenes, and I was afraid..."
Ye Zhizhou interrupted her, "I know what you're thinking, Sister Yan Bing. It's only natural. You don't need to explain to me."
Ye Zhizhou's gaze had been fixed on Yan Bing ever since she entered. After observing her, he concluded that Yan Bing harbored no hostility towards him.
Yan Bing was slightly surprised, "Aren't you worried that I'll hurt you?"
Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "I think you're just being used as a shield at best."
A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Bing's eyes; she thought Ye Zhizhou's eyes were truly amazing.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I've explained everything that needed to be explained. I'm leaving now."
She got up and fled in a panic, accidentally bumping into the corner of the bed and staggering before finally getting up and leaving.
Back in her hotel room, Yan Bing touched her chest, her heart pounding. She picked up her phone and sent the man a text message: "I've put everything away. Give me the negatives."
However, the other party did not send her the negatives as promised, but only sent a message: "Don't rush, the show has just begun."
A good show?
Yan Bing frowned, followed by disgust. She wanted to smash her phone. She should have known better than to agree to go to that kind of place with her friend. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught red-handed.
Inside the room, Qin Xuan continued to check the video. Ye Zhizhou poured him water, accidentally wetting the bedding.
"I'll go find someone to change the blanket, wait a moment."
She had just pulled back the white blanket when a small plastic bag containing white powder fell out from the corner.
"What's this?"
Qin Xuan took it, opened the bag, smelled it, and his expression changed drastically.
