No one else took it seriously and thought the staff member was just bragging.
Zhichen didn't take it to heart. He checked WeChat from time to time, but Zhu Ling still didn't reply.
About an hour later, everyone arrived at the woods outside the city.
"The air outside the city is so fresh, especially the air in the woods. It's simply a gift from nature." The agent held his breath and breathed in the fresh air.
It's so refreshing.
The other staff also jumped out of the car one after another. It was not until they saw the large forest with dappled sunlight, crisp bird songs, and a gentle breeze carrying the fragrance of leaves and soil that they believed that the staff member had not lied.
The scenery seen with the naked eye is as beautiful as a quiet and vivid natural painting. If it is photographed and a few filters are added, it will definitely be beautiful and become a check-in spot for netizens.
Some people even suggested that after the filming is finished, they should not rush back, but have a barbecue here before going back to avoid wasting such beautiful scenery.
After having fun and joking around, everyone started working.
However, when they were moving things into the woods, someone saw some bloodstains on the road.
"Oh, why is there blood here?" the staff member asked suspiciously.
Another staff member also saw it and walked around the pool of blood. "Huh? Really? Maybe a passing driver ran over a stray dog or cat!"
The staff found an open space and began to set up the venue, and the makeup artist began to put makeup on Zhichen.
While putting on makeup, Zhichen often looked at his phone, and even... he had the illusion that his phone was ringing.
Seeing this, the makeup artist couldn't help but laugh and jokingly said, "Is the Zhida singer overworked?"
Zhichen smiled absentmindedly.
When Zhichen's makeup was almost finished, suddenly, a staff member not far away let out a panicked scream.
Then, I heard another staff member's mocking voice: "Look at you, you saw a ghost in broad daylight, and you are scared like this?"
But the next second, the staff member was also frightened and screamed: "Someone is dead, someone is dead!"
These six simple words attracted everyone in the group, even the makeup artist ran over to watch the fun.
Zhichen stood up from the stool and slowly walked towards the crowd of onlookers.
As he walked over there, he heard the director ask, "What's going on?"
I could only hear the staff member crying, "We have a scene that requires a big pit. I thought the soil here was soft, so I dug it up. And to my surprise, while digging... I unearthed a dead body."
Before he got close, Zhichen smelled a very unpleasant odor.
It smells like a corpse.
Zhichen walked to the edge of the pit, covered his nose, and saw two fingers sticking out of the soil. The flesh was obviously showing signs of decay.
At first glance, it doesn't look like this person died of natural causes, otherwise, why would he be buried here so hastily?
After listening to the staff's account, the director immediately took out his cell phone and called the police.
It was a good shoot, but now someone has died, how can it go on? So, before the police arrived, the director quickly asked the staff to move all the things back to the car.
After moving all their belongings into the car, they didn't leave in a hurry, but waited there for the police to arrive.
Zhichen took out his phone and checked WeChat again. Zhu Ling still hadn't replied to his message. It had been more than ten hours since he sent her a WeChat message. Wasn't Zhu Ling's phone fully charged yet?!
He was thinking about Zhu Ling, while the staff not far away from him started discussing:
Staff member 1: "No wonder there was a pool of blood on the road just now. I think it was either from stray cats or dogs, but from that person?"
Staff member 2: "Yes, and the body stinks. It must have been dead for several days. I wonder who has such an unfortunate fate?"
Staff member 3: "As the saying goes, in life, eat when you need to eat, drink when you need to drink, and never be stingy, because you never know which will come tomorrow or an accident."
Staff member 4: "Yes, that's right. I had a fight with my girlfriend yesterday. When I get back, I'll apologize to her and ask for her forgiveness!"
“…”
When Zhichen heard this, his eyes dimmed.
At this time, the police came one after another in police cars. As soon as they arrived, they quickly cordoned off the scene.
The director took the staff member who first discovered the body to the place where the body was buried.
The staff members were still chatting when suddenly one of them pointed at the curb and asked, "Look, what is that?"
Several people looked in the direction the staff member was pointing, and someone with sharp eyes said suspiciously, "It looks like a cell phone."
So, several people encouraged him to get it.
The staff member had no choice but to go.
Two minutes later, he came back with something and spread it out in front of them. "Here, look, it really is a cell phone."
Several staff members gathered around to look, and one of them said, "Really? It looks like a woman's phone."
Hearing this, Zhichen turned around suddenly and saw the same mobile phone as Zhu Ling in the hand of this staff member.
His heart was startled, and he hurriedly took two quick steps over, picked up the phone, and asked, "Where did you get this phone?"
The staff member looked confused. He hesitated for a moment before pointing behind him and saying, "I got it from there."
Zhichen looked behind him and found that he was not far from the pool of blood. Suddenly, an extremely bad premonition swept over his body, making him feel very cold.
He lowered his head and tried to open the phone, muttering in panic: "It's not Ling'er's, it must not be Ling'er's..."
How did Ling'er's cell phone appear here?
No, it definitely can’t be like that. Something must have gone wrong!
The phone was turned off. Zhichen turned it on several times with trembling hands, but the screen was still black.
Everyone looked at Zhichen in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with him?
Seeing that his phone couldn't be turned on, Zhichen quickly took out his own phone and dialed Zhu Ling's number. As soon as the call was made, he prayed in his heart: The phone is connected, the phone is connected...
Even if no one answered, he hoped the phone was connected, and he didn't want to hear that gentle female voice from the receiver.
But in the end, he was still disappointed!
Zhu Ling's phone is still turned off...
At this time, the police dug out the body and put it on a stretcher. In order not to scare people, they covered the body with a white cloth.
He heard the policeman's serious voice "Make way, make way", and Zhichen looked over there for some reason.
He saw the deceased's hand drooping from the stretcher, and he clearly saw a ring on the deceased's hand...
