"Yes, that's the ending." On the plane, Wu Xiumin told Zhao Yu the outline of the story. "In the end, none of the ten people survived! In fact … all of this was planned by the Chief Judge. He used the methods he thought were righteous to put those people on trial! "
"Oh …" Zhao Yu nodded. "This story is quite interesting, but I thought that the judge had an accomplice! An old man wanted to kill so many people, and he had to follow the nursery rhyme and the order of the killings. It was not easy! "
"The sin lies in the hearts of the people!" Wu Xiumin said. "In fact, the most powerful thing about Agatha Christie's work is that it captures the evil in the hearts of people. Those people's mentality has long changed because their crimes have been exposed. They are suspicious of each other, which gives the judge an opportunity to take advantage of them!"
"Well, that makes sense. Although it's a novel, it's really impressive!" Zhao Yu sighed. "I hope that our case is not 'No One Survived.'"
"No, it's not that no one survived. There are survivors …" At this time, Zeng Ke suddenly took out his mobile phone and said to the two of them, "I received the information from Officer Chen. This is the latest update on the case. There are survivors!"
"D * mn …" Zhao Yu couldn't help but ask, "We're on a plane. How did you get the news?"
"Are you kidding me? If I couldn't even do this, I wouldn't have the face to follow the team leader!" Zeng Ke smiled proudly, then pointed to the mobile phone screen and said, "So far, the police have found three survivors on Yongjin Island, but … One of them is very seriously injured and is being rescued in the hospital. I don't know if he can be saved.
"There are two other survivors, a woman and a man. The woman is an actress in the crew, and the man claims to be a lifestyle producer, but he is actually a cook!" Zeng Ke then said, "The Quliang Criminal Investigation Unit was the first to arrive at the scene after receiving the report. They felt that the matter was too serious, so they reported it to the Criminal Division. That's why they sent us here.
It is said that the two survivors were not seriously injured, except for their mental state. However … according to the information, although she was a survivor, the woman was tied with a hemp rope around her neck and placed on a folding stool. She was almost hanged to death!
"The chef's experience was even stranger. He was tied up and buried alive in the ground, leaving only his face and breathing …" Ye Zichen said.
"Due to the shock the two of them suffered, the local police have sent a large boat over to temporarily place the two of them on the boat. They have also sent a psychiatrist to guide them and ask them about the details of the case …"
"Zeng Ke, can you get to the point first?" Wu Xiumin complained. "How many people died?"
"Currently … 6 deaths have been confirmed!" Zeng Ke lowered his voice and said, "These people died in different ways, and they were scattered all over the island. So, the police are still searching the entire island. As such, the final number of deaths is still unknown!"
"Oh my god, there are six of them! They're all filmmakers. Who would kill them so cruelly? "Wu Xiumin exclaimed." Do you think it was an internal conflict? Was there a conflict between them? "
"Come on, let me see …" Zhao Yu took Zeng Ke's mobile phone and carefully read the information that Chen Zhuo had sent him.
It turned out that the crew that had been involved in the accident was an independent production team of Champion Pictures.
The so-called independent production team was a semi-private unit. They had their own creative and shooting teams, but because of limited funds and distribution, they had to be affiliated with a large company.
Generally, before a film was shot, they would submit a shooting plan to a large company. If the company agreed, they would give them some assistance. Later, after the film was shot and released, they would take a high commission from the copyright income.
The so-called Champion Pictures was not a well-known company in the industry. As such, their production teams were naturally third-rate or not at all. These production teams could only shoot some low-budget, small-investment digital films, short films, documentaries, and so on.
The crew that had been involved in the accident on Yongjin Island was such a team.
In fact, a crew like theirs was basically at the bottom of the film and television industry. They were just trying to make a living. The purpose of making a film was just to get the money from the investors.
For example, for a small film with a production cost of only 500,000 yuan, they would usually make a budget of one million yuan or even two million yuan to seek investment! The difference in the middle was basically their profit. They didn't really care about the quality of the film or the later profits.
Of course, investors were not fools. They couldn't just come over and throw money at them every time. Therefore, a lot of shady businesses were born. In order to attract sponsors and investments, the production team or company would use countless methods and stop at nothing.
For example, the crew that had been involved in the accident had obtained their funds from a rich female boss who didn't know anything about film and television! Because of this, Xie Hao naturally became the leading male character in the crew!
However, it was a pity that this male lead had also met with misfortune in the massacre on this isolated island!
According to the information in Zhao Yu's hands, the reason why this crew had to shoot on Yongjin Island was that Yongjin Island was related to their script.
This time, they were shooting a digital film called "Lighthouse." The whole story revolved around the island and the lighthouse.
The reason why the film crew chose Yongjin Island as the filming base was that there was indeed a lighthouse on Yongjin Island. In the 1970s and 1980s, the lighthouse had been guiding local ships, which had played an important role in guiding the direction of local ships.
It was reported that the police had contacted the person in charge of Champion Pictures, who claimed that a total of 17 members of the crew were participating in the shooting!
However, because the shooting site was far away from land, not all of these people would stay on the island. Now, they were actively contacting these people, and it was estimated that they would soon get the exact information.
In addition, according to the plan of the crew of "Lighthouse," their entire pre-shooting period would last a whole month, and the crew would be shooting on the island for about half a month. Yesterday, they were almost finished!
My God … Seventeen people?!
After seeing this amazing number, Zhao Yu instinctively felt nervous. He felt that this case was no small matter!
