Chapter 444 Extra - The Identity of "Ye Qingning"
On the helicopter heading to town, Lin Feiyan reviewed the entire plan from the perspective of the fake "Ye Qingning" and discovered the key figure in the plan.
Li Meng.
Her role was small; she only took Ye Qingning to the restroom near the set, but it was indeed the most crucial step.
If anything goes wrong, the entire plan will be impossible to implement.
Regarding Li Meng, he had already arranged for Chen Song to investigate her in advance, but the current investigation results show that she mysteriously disappeared after arriving in Qing City with the crew, and there is no trace of her.
Lin Feiyan could only instruct Chen Song to continue investigating Li Meng's whereabouts and all the people in the "Qing Qing Zi Jin" crew who had a grudge against Ye Qingning, while also releasing the news that hospital visits would be allowed for one day tomorrow.
Chen Tang began his investigation with "Ye Qingning," who was lying in a hospital bed, while Chen Chu and Chen Shi focused their search on small towns and deep mountains.
Chen Ci stayed at the hospital with "Ye Qingning," keeping her in a coma while preparing to receive all the film crew members who would be visiting the next day, looking for clues among them.
Everything was progressing smoothly and rapidly. Late at night, Lin Feiyan's helicopter landed outside the town, and Chen Chu drove over to pick him up.
"Brother Fei, is that Miss Ye from Qing City really not?"
“No.” Lin Feiyan’s voice was firm: “I suspect she is still in this town, or in these mountains.”
"If it was done by the crew, is it possible that she has already been taken away by the crew's car?" Chen Chu speculated.
"I've already arranged for Chen Song to start the investigation with the production team."
But Lin Feiyan had a gut feeling that Ye Qingning was still nearby in this small town.
The fake "Ye Qingning" was in a coma for a day and a half, and Chen Ci also found a special drug in her blood that could be taken regularly and in fixed quantities.
The time she was unconscious must have been the period in her plan to deal with or hide Ye Qingning.
This is also the basis for Lin Feiyan's deduction that the real Ye Qingning is not yet dead, because it would not take that long to dispose of a corpse.
It takes this long to properly settle a living person.
“Ah Shi and I have searched the area around the film set, but we haven’t found any valuable clues. I’ve also asked the mountain people, and they say there are many traps for catching wild animals and cellars where the mountain people store food. Ah Shi and I are checking them one by one.”
"Hmm." Lin Feiyan lightly twirled his fingers: "Don't alarm too many people for now. We need to find precise clues now, otherwise it will be easy to alert the other side if we rush in, and then Qingqing's situation will be difficult."
"Yes," Chen Chu replied.
The car drove into the town and pulled up to the guesthouse's parking lot.
Lin Feiyan and Chen Chu entered the room. Chen Tang was busy in front of the computer. When he saw Lin Feiyan come in, he hurriedly reported the latest progress.
"This Ye Qingning landed at Haicheng Airport a week ago with Sister Qingning's documents, and hasn't used the documents since. I guess she rented a car to come to the town and hasn't checked into any hotels since arriving here."
"What is his specific identity?" Lin Feiyan asked.
"Still under verification."
Lin Feiyan nodded: "As soon as possible, it's up to you."
Chen Tang replied solemnly, "Understood."
After the three of them discussed what they knew, Lin Feiyan asked, "Where's Chen Shi?"
"She just came out of the mountains. I asked her to buy some late-night snacks on her way back. She should be back soon."
As they were talking, the door to the room was pushed open, and Chen Shi came in carrying a late-night snack, complaining, "This town is too small. There's only one restaurant open at this hour. I bought some porridge and dumplings... My brother-in-law is here."
Lin Feiyan nodded: "Hmm, are there any clues?"
Chen Shi shook his head with a worried look: "Although there is no news yet, brother-in-law, don't worry, Sister Qingning will be fine. She is the female lead!"
She placed the food on the table, inviting Chen Chu and Chen Ci to come and eat, while speaking to Lin Feiyan.
"Based on my years of experience reading novels, this novel is definitely going to have a happy ending. If anything happens to the female lead, the author will definitely be bombarded with razor blades! And the novel's ratings will plummet."
Chen Shi said with certainty, "So the conclusion is that Sister Qingning will definitely be fine."
Lin Feiyan: "..."
It was the same theory again, but he actually found it somewhat reasonable, which calmed him down a little.
Then Chen Shi added, "But we need to speed things up so that Sister Qingning will suffer less."
Lin Feiyan's heart clenched again: "In your opinion, what's going on here?"
Chen Shi first asked about the interactions between the fake "Ye Qingning" and Lin Feiyan, as well as the various clues Lin Feiyan discovered about her, and then leaned back in her chair to think.
Chen Tang and Chen Chu also put down their work and sat down at the table to eat while listening to Chen Shi's analysis.
Chen Shi quickly snapped his fingers: "Brother-in-law, I think this is it. This woman must have a crazy obsession with you, and she thinks that Sister Qingning is not good enough for you! Otherwise, she wouldn't be so nonchalant when she talked about giving up acting."
Chen Shi narrowed her eyes, thinking as she spoke, "Just because you already have Sister Qingning, she's obsessed with the idea that as long as she looks like Sister Qingning and has her own charm, she can definitely replace Sister Qingning!"
A deep look appeared in Lin Feiyan's eyes: "Continue."
"She spent some time transforming herself into Sister Qingning's appearance, and then, in collusion with someone in the crew, she successfully kidnapped Sister Qingning. And she just happened to come to your side as Sister Qingning."
Lin Feiyan nodded: "That makes sense. So where should Qingqing be now?"
"I don't know where she is, but logically she must still be alive."
"What kind of logic are you referring to here?" Lin Feiyan asked.
"This woman went to such lengths to do this, she must be very confident that she can replace Sister Qingning, so she will keep Sister Qingning around to show off."
Lin Feiyan twirled his fingers: "So, there must be someone else left here to work with that person from the inside to pass on messages?"
Chen Shi nodded: "That's right. As long as we find the person who delivered the message, we can follow the clues to find Sister Qingning."
Lin Feiyan nodded: "That makes sense."
Chen Shi's perspective coincides with Lin Feiyan's current investigation.
There are only two paths to find the person who delivered the message: one is to investigate the information of the film crew members that Chen Song has gathered, and the other is to find the film crew members who are still stranded in the town.
If Chen Tang can find relevant clues about "Ye Qingning" as soon as possible, he can start the investigation from her perspective.
So, the key question is, who exactly is that woman?
Lin Feiyan's mind quickly began to filter through those who were obsessed with him, who felt that Ye Qingning was not good enough for him, and who thought that she could conquer him with her charm...
His eyes narrowed, and his voice grew cold: "Chen Tang, I've thought of someone."
"who?"
Lin Feiyan spoke each word clearly and coldly: "Shen Lanxiao!"
