After a few minutes, Zhao Yu and the others returned to the office hall that they had just left and gathered in the small office.
"Officers," the male police officer said, holding a document in his hand. "Kang Ziqing's film company was originally called Star Film Company. Li Feifan was one of the founders of the company. He, Yu Dawei, and Cen Wanping co-founded the company."
"Huh?" Wu Xiumin asked. "What's going on? Where did you get this information from? Why is it different from the information I got? "
"Hmm …" Hearing this, the police officer hesitated.
"Miao Kai," Cui Lizhu said his name in a serious tone. "This is a big case. This is not the time for you to be hesitant.
"Don't worry. Whether it's right or wrong, I'll give you a good review!"
After saying the word "praise", Cui Lizhu almost said the word "kiss".
"It's like this, officers. We're not investigating official information, "Miao Kai said nervously." We got it from Ding Yang. We've talked to him on the phone many times. "
"Ding Yang?" Zhao Yu was familiar with the case. As soon as he heard the name, he blurted out, "Isn't this person the current boss of the film company?"
"Yes," Miao Kai quickly explained. "Ding Yang is one of the founding members of Star Film Company. He was originally the company's finance director, so he knows the company very well.
So, a lot of information about the company was obtained through him. "
Then, Miao Kai glanced at Wu Xiumin nervously. He was obviously a little afraid of this icy beauty.
"I've seen this person before," Cui Lizhu said. "He's very cooperative with our investigation. But, he only knows that we're investigating a case, but he doesn't know what it is. He thinks it's related to financial issues. "
"Miao Kai, continue."
"Okay." Miao Kai organized his thoughts and continued, "Back then, Li Feifan, Yu Dawei, and Cen Wanping worked together to establish Morning Star. Yu Dawei was in charge of the business, Cen Wanping was in charge of publicity and financing, and Li Feifan was the director. He personally led the film crew to complete most of the company's filming tasks!
"However, due to poor performance, from its founding in 1996 to the restructuring in 2006, the company had frequent personnel changes, and shareholders changed hands several times. Yu Dawei and Cen Wanping withdrew one after another, and even the name of the company changed a few times.
"However, during that period of time, Li Feifan was always there …
"In Ding Yang's words, although Li Feifan is not the chairman, the actual control of the company has always been in the hands of Li Feifan.
"However, Li Feifan is very shrewd. He knows that the water in the entertainment circle is too deep, so he has been hiding it from the public. The public only knows that he has a cooperative relationship with the film company …"
As Miao Kai explained the situation, Wu Xiumin frowned. Obviously, Miao Kai's report was very different from the information she had received.
"This is a tacit rule in their industry." Miao Kai finally got into the zone and spoke more fluently. "The company originally belonged to him, but he claimed that he was the best director hired by the company. This way, he could increase his value and legally avoid taxes. If he did well, it would be a win-win situation, but if he did badly, the company wouldn't be affected … "
"Oh …" Cui Lizhu nodded. "That's why we couldn't see the accounts of Li Feifan and the others …"
"Actually, we didn't mean to investigate Li Feifan," Miao Kai said frankly. "At first, we just followed Officer Cui's instructions to investigate the specific situation of the film company, so we found the boss, Ding Yang.
"Also," he said, looking up at Cui Lizhu, "after the first round of data analysis, we excluded him, because many of his tracks were obviously different from the video murder case.
For example, as we all know, in 2002, Director Li Feifan filmed the famous Attack in Haidu Film City, which won the box office that year. "
"But, in 2002, the three video murder cases all happened in Yuezhou, while Haidu Film City was in Yaoming …"
"Yes …" Wu Xiumin nodded silently. The information that she had found was indeed correct, and because of this well-known reason, Li Feifan had been ruled out as a suspect.
"But," Miao Kai changed the topic and said, "after we investigated Ding Yang, we found out that Attack was not directed by Director Li Feifan at all!"
"Huh? What?! "
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and the others could not help but be shocked.
"At first, we also thought it was quite unbelievable, but," Miao Kai said solemnly. "Ding Yang was very sure! That so-called director of "Attack" was actually bought by Li Feifan for the title sponsorship! He did this to increase his popularity, so that he could become an A-list director through this film! "
"But, in fact, the film had nothing to do with him. It was just a deal between Li Feifan and some big shots in the industry."
Cui Lizhu exclaimed, "I didn't know that they could do this. These people are too good at playing! Who is the real director? Isn't he at a disadvantage? "
"How could he be at a disadvantage?" Miao Kai said. "The real director was already famous at that time. Li Feifan gave him a lot of money, as well as a share of the box office. Why wouldn't he do it?"
"Yes!" At this time, another police officer named Duan Fei added, "We feel that Ding Yang is angry because he was left behind by Li Feifan and the other big shots. That's why he leaked the news.
He told us that when he transferred the company, it was almost an empty shell. Since Ding Yang was the legal representative of the company, Li Feifan and the other shareholders left the mess to him! "
"After that, they worked together for a period of time, but Li Feifan and the others used this company as a tool to evade taxes. They went too far, and in the end, they inevitably broke up! Li Feifan never admitted that he had anything to do with the company. "
Cui Lizhu exclaimed, "That's why we didn't include the famous director as a suspect in our initial investigation."
Miao Kai continued, "In order to prove that his information was true and reliable, Ding Yang took out the film company's 2002 announcements and some work records, which proved that Li Feifan had been shooting commercials in Yuezhou for the whole of 2002!"
Wow …
Hearing such explosive news, they couldn't help but be tongue-tied.
"That was just the beginning," Miao Kai said. "When we restored Li Feifan's track through the evidence provided by Ding Yang, we found that the famous director's work schedule between 1999 and 2006 was highly consistent with the time and location of the video murder case!
The degree of consistency was far beyond Kang Ziqing's! "
"Also," Duan Fei added, "after Li Feifan finished filming 'Attack' as a fake director, he got a chance to go to America to film the Sino-American joint venture 'Earth-Shaking', the one with Shang Ge Yundun!
After that, he studied at the Southern California Film Academy for half a year and participated in the film's post-production.
"That is to say, from the end of the Spring Festival in 2003 until September of 2004, he was working in the United States." Duan Fei looked up and said heavily, "During this period, there was a gap in the video murder case, so …"
"So, this famous director Li Feifan …" Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, "is the first suspect we are looking for!"
