A comedian accidentally found clues to a murder case in real life in order to find information to fit in with his character. This extremely dramatic incident could be made into a movie.
"Part of the victim's body is hidden at Happiness Neighbourhood Block 1. I suggest you go there immediately because the butterfly might have seen Meng Changxi's livestream as well. It might make a move soon."
"The place has been cordoned off." Li Xue's superior looked at Han Fei. Years of experience told him that things were not that simple. However, he could sense Han Fei did not mean any harm. The young man before him appeared to be just trying to solve the case.
"I've told you everything I know, can I leave now?" Han Fei needed to return home to play his game, he could not stay overnight at the police station.
"Do you have anything else to do? We're currently applying for a Hero Commendation for you. Furthermore, based on your contribution to the case, we'll increase the reward for the human jigsaw case. "The superior was a smooth talker. Once he spoke, Han Fei was instantly reinvigorated.
"How much is the reward?" A glint flashed across his eyes. He lowered his head to take a sip of water. 'Actually, it doesn't matter if it's money or not. I've risked my life, risked my own safety, risked my life to search for clues, mainly to avenge the victims! When I was filming, the victims' families were at the crime scene. Their pain made my heart wrench. "
Han Fei was about to tell them how hard it had been for him when his phone vibrated. At that moment, all the officers turned to look at him.
"Jiang Yi?" Han Fei had no idea why Director Jiang would call him at a time like this. To avoid any misunderstanding, he answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Han Fei! Have you seen Meng Changxi's livestream?! The case is about to be solved! Our wait has been worth it! " Director Jiang sounded excited. The filming was at an impasse, the main lead refused to act and the victims' families caused a scene. He had been under a lot of pressure.
'I saw it.' Han Fei grumbled internally. Not only did he see it, he participated in it as well.
"When are you coming back to film? This time, we can use real life as a reference! If Meng Changxi's final scene can be shown on screen, it'll definitely be an explosive hit! " Director Jiang appeared to have started to reimagine the plot. He was like a man who had been stuck in a desert for days and suddenly found an oasis. Inside the oasis was a fridge filled with iced drinks.
"I'm temporarily unable to return." Han Fei chuckled bitterly. "I'm currently at the police station, assisting the police with their investigation of the human jigsaw case."
"You … assisted the police?" Director Jiang's mind was filled with the plot but he could not wrap his head around it.
"Let the police tell you." Han Fei passed the phone to Li Xue's leader and then whispered to the leader, "Due to the search for clues, I haven't returned to the set for a long time. Now our director wants me to return to the set, can you please put in a good word for me?"
After accepting the call, Li Xue's leader told him about how Han Fei had helped the police solve the case. This leader had a high EQ, Han Fei felt embarrassed by the compliment.
On the other end of the line, Jiang Yi was dumbfounded when he heard what the police said.
I asked you to investigate the past and experience your role, but I didn't ask you to actually solve the case!
Coincidentally, not only did Han Fei win over the crew with his acting, he even provided key clues to solve the human jigsaw case and the frozen body case.
Director Jiang took a long time to digest this information but the shock in his heart was still too much for him to handle. He stuttered, "Sir … sir, you have to treat Han Fei well, he's the backbone of our crew!"
"Han Fei has helped us a lot in solving the case. We'll release him after we're done recording the necessary information, it will not affect your filming. Other than that … I hope you can show us a positive image of the police when you're filming."
"Of course, of course!" Jiang Yi patted his chest as a promise. After the conversation with Li Xue's leader, he gave Han Fei a few more reminders, hoping that Han Fei would drop by the set tomorrow.
After hanging up, Han Fei continued to cooperate with the police. He had no idea how much impact his phone call had on Jiang Yi.
…
After ending the call with Han Fei, Jiang Yi immediately called a few other numbers. Some of them did not answer so he called a cab and hurried to a film company.
Along the way, Jiang Yi kept making calls on his phone, "Sister Long! I have something very important to tell you! "
With the help of the receptionist, Director Jiang entered the conference room. There were a few people in suits discussing something.
"Jiang Yi, you're here because of the human jigsaw case's livestream as well, right?" Sister Long sat at the side of the room. She said in a dignified manner, "We've received the news. This case is incredibly popular, it'll be very helpful to our movie. But as the saying goes, water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it. If we can't handle the heat properly, we might die a horrible death. "
"Sister Long, I'm one hundred percent confident that I can make this movie a success! But there's something I need to tell you. "Director Jiang's expression was serious.
"What is it? Why don't you take a seat first, there's no need to rush. "
"I want to change the main actor. Ah Cheng will not be able to deliver the feeling that I want him to. He will not be able to portray the aura of a 10 year veteran." Once Director Jiang said that, the people in the room started to panic.
"Even though we didn't invest that much into this movie, the main investors are Ah Cheng's company, Han Guang Films and You Long Culture. If you don't use Ah Cheng, then you have to consider the consequences. They might pull out of their investment. Furthermore, where are you going to find a suitable main actor? Do you have the money to hire someone else? "
"This movie has the most suitable main actor! He is the perfect main actor for this movie! " Jiang Yi did not back down. He took out his phone and showed them the details of an actor. "This person's name is Han Fei."
"Han Fei? I've never heard of that name before. "
Long Jie and the others in the meeting room whispered to each other. After a short discussion, they all furrowed their brows. Long Jie stood up and walked over to Jiang Yi, "He looks quite handsome. Is he a new celebrity?"
"Nope."
"Then has he been in any of his previous films?"
"Nope."
"Could it be that he's a newcomer from a big company?"
"He's not a newcomer and he doesn't have a company behind him."
Hearing Jiang Yi's answer, Sister Long laughed in anger. "No popularity, no fame, no works, no company behind him. Then tell me, why did you choose him? Is he your relative? "
"He's not my relative but he's the key witness for the police to solve the human jigsaw case!"
"What?"
Not only Sister Long, everyone in the room was stunned.
"He's the key witness." Jiang Yi met Sister Long's eyes at eye level. "It was because of him that we were able to solve the human jigsaw case 10 years ago. The police are already preparing a Good Samaritan award ceremony for him. I've personally called him to confirm it!"
"You … want the person who solved the case to be the main character of this movie?"
Sister Long was dumbfounded. She had not come across this kind of situation before.
