Chapter 26

Tear the ghosts with hands

At around 8 pm on September 15, 2012, a bizarre murder occurred in Hengdian Town, Yangping City.

There is a bamboo forest outside the town. At the time of the incident, a bearded director and an actress were playing with a car by the bamboo forest. Hengdian Town is the largest film and television shooting base in the country, and many TV series were filmed here. The unspoken rules of the film and television industry have long been common. The director parked his car by the bamboo forest. Because it was hot, he opened the sunroof of the car and hugged the actress.

The actress struggled for a moment and said, "Director, what are you going to do?"

The bearded director said: "You have a bed scene and the devil raped you. Let's practice it now."

The actress said righteously: "Stop, don't touch me."

The bearded director was a little embarrassed and let the actress go.

The actress said: "Director, we are filming anti-Japanese dramas, which are films that offer gifts to the ×× year of the founding of New China. But you want to unspoken rules. Do you deserve your conscience? It would be fine if I was ruined by the Japanese in the play, but why did you still rape me?"

The bearded director said: "Do you want to fight against Japan now? I'm not a Japanese."

The actress said: "I'm talking about Japan."

The bearded director said: "If you are disobedient, you won't have to act in the next play. I can change the script and let you die."

The actress said: "Director, no, I finally got this role, I...well, this time."

It was getting late, the moon hung over the bamboo forest, and the two of them became intimate in the car. The bearded director said, "You blow it for me." The actress pushed her half-swept and bent down. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming, and the bearded director stopped moving. The bearded director pressed the actress' head and signaled her not to stop. Because there was the possibility of being peeped by passers-by, the car was more exciting and exciting.

At this time, a whirring sound was like a strong wind blowing through the bamboo forest. Something was thrown up and just passed through the skylight of the car and fell in front of them. With the moonlight, they saw an upside-down corpse, head down and feet up, jumping up and down in the car.

The blood of the dead man was still hot, soaking his clothes and flowing down his lower hands.

The bearded director and actress screamed in fear and ran out of the car. The bloody corpse was tied with a rope at the ankle, and the other end of the rope was tied to the top of the bamboo. Because the bamboo was elastic, the hanging corpse would jump up and down.

The left leg of the corpse was hung from another bamboo not far away.

They wanted to leave immediately, but life was at stake. Both of them had dripping blood. If they were mistaken for the murderer, it would be difficult to cleanse themselves. The bearded director protected the scene and took pictures of the body with a camera, asking the actress to call the police.

The police quickly arrived, removed the vehicle and inspected the scene. At first, everyone thought the murderer had killed someone, and then hung the body on the bamboo. However, Director Chen of the Criminal Technology Department of Yangping Public Security Bureau analyzed that the deceased had stepped on a rope trap set on the bamboo forest path and was torn into two halves.

After visiting and investigating, they found out the identity of the deceased the next day.

The victim is Yang Xiaofan, an extra, 20 years old, and is kind. Because of domestic anti-Japanese dramas

The screen is full of him, and he plays a Japanese soldier 8 times a day. Netizens joked that 700 million Japanese devils died in Hengdian a year, and they can circle the earth twice together. Hengdian has surpassed Taierzhuang to become the place where the most Japanese were killed in the history of the Anti-Japanese War. However, these Japanese devils are all in TV series.

In several villages around Hengdian, many young people work as extras.

At that time, Yang Xiaofan took a shortcut and went home for dinner. Because there was still a night scene that had not been finished, he did not change his clothes. He was wearing a Japanese military uniform and carrying a prop gun. When he passed through the bamboo forest, he stepped on a rope trap. The huge elasticity of the bamboo pulled him into two halves.

A policeman said: "Will this be an accident? The local hunter put a trap in the woods. He originally wanted to trap wild boars and pheasants, but he ended up hitting someone."

Director Chen said: "But there are no pheasants or wild boars nearby, and hunters are rare nowadays."

The policeman said: "Can they be trapped?"

Director Chen said: "This is a murder case. The deceased's gun disappeared, and the murderer killed someone and seized the gun."

The policeman said: "That's a prop gun, although it looks no different from a real gun."

Director Chen said: "Report to the higher authorities immediately, and the special case team should be interested in this case."

Late at night, the special case team members were urgently summoned to the conference room. Bai Jingyu sat on a leather chair, holding a remote control in his hand, and a domestic anti-Japanese TV series was playing on the projector. Bai Jingyu was enjoying watching it, and turned around and waved to everyone to sit down. The staff brought a few cups of tea.

Bai Jingyu said: "How long has it been since you watched a TV series?"

Bao Zhan said: "I'm not looking for us to watch TV series, right?"

Bai Jingyu briefly introduced the case. The local police prepared very well. In addition to the case files, they also sent several TV series, all of which were performed by the deceased.

Hualong said: "Boss, isn't this a waste of time? Can you change the station? What are you doing with this nonsense?"

Su Mei said: "I want to watch Korean dramas."

Professor Liang yawned, lit the pipe, and kept watching.

At this time, a science fiction scene suddenly appeared in this anti-Japanese drama - an Eighth Route Army punched the Japanese abdomen and tore the Japanese's body apart with both hands.

Everyone was stunned and laughter burst out.

Bai Jingyu looked at the watch on her wrist and said, "The air ticket has been booked, but it is 4 a.m. Don't sleep anymore. Just watch the TV series here and then set off."

Hualong said: "Boss, this is too nonsense. You don't bring such tormental things. Anyway, I won't watch it, I'll go to the sofa and take a look."

Su Mei said: "I will go to put on makeup and I will not miss the flight."

Bao Zhan said, "Sister Xiaomei, are you still wearing makeup in the middle of the night?"

Su Mei said: [31    Fast update] "It's a film and television city, with stars gathered. I can't embarrass our special case team."

The crime was in Hengdian Town, which is a place where time and space are intertwined. The willow trees outside Tao Yuanming Gate are next to the old Shanghai Beach-style streets. The Ming and Qing Palace Gardens are adjacent to a modern studio. Village women often greet celebrities in the fields, and taxi drivers sometimes take photos with big names.

Local leaders are knowledgeable and often receive international superstars.

The arrival of the case team was a little negligent, and even complained that Director Chen of the Public Security Bureau made a big fuss and should not have invited the special case team to assist in the investigation.

A leader said: "Isn't it just that an extra died? At worst, you can just pay some money."

Director Chen said: "This is a serial case. The murderer killed people to rob guns. After robbing the gun, it is time to rob the bank."

The leader said: "That's a prop gun."

Director Chen said: "If modified, it can have the lethality of a real gun."

The special case team immediately visited Hengdian. Professor Liang promised his leader that he would find out the identity of the murderer within three days.

Hualong learned that in order to achieve realistic effects, many film and television crews in Hengdian used props and guns that fired empty bullets. These props and guns come from various studios, mostly modified military real guns. When shooting, they have the shell throwing, fire, vibration and recoil of the real gun. If modified, they can still be restored to real guns.

Su Mei conducted an investigation on several film and television crews. Everyone had no impression of the deceased Yang Xiaofan. The extras had no lines when acting, so it was difficult for people to remember. They filmed with celebrities, but the treatment was very different from the stars. There were about 3,500 extras in Hengdian, some with stars dreaming of stars, and some who just wanted to support their families, collectively known as "Hengpiao" - people who floated in Hengdian. They usually brought their own small chairs to gather together, just like the migrant workers who took on work on the street.

The bearded director who was the first to find the body received Su Mei. In the dressing room of the crew, he said to Su Mei: "Actually, I am an associate director. This man has acted in the scenes I have filmed, and they are all Japanese soldiers. They die several times a day. They earn 40 yuan a day for 8 hours, and more than one hour plus 5 yuan. He scared me so much that he almost got impotence... But it's also worth it. I usually shoot anti-Japanese dramas, but I accidentally filmed his body, which was so shocking."

Su Mei said: "You made the ghosts with your hands. Can you make less shocking TV series? I vomited all breakfast, lunch and dinner."

The bearded director said: "In our country, this is not allowed to be filmed, and that is not allowed to be broadcasted. There are too many restricted areas. Only anti-Japanese dramas can easily pass the censorship, and we have no choice. Actually, I especially want to make horror movies. Otherwise, will I shoot them as soon as I see the body? Do you know why there are very few horror movies in our country? Even if there are, they are bad movies."

Su Mei said: "Are you not allowed to make horror movies?"

The bearded director said: "Horror movies can be shot, but they can't be shot too scary."

Su Mei said: "Okay, understand. Director, can I make a guest appearance? Play a female spy or something..."

The bearded director said: "You are a policeman, you are not kidding, right? But if you want to act, come to my room at night and I will tell you about the drama to see if you have the talent for acting."

The site was well protected, and a yellow cordon was placed on the entrances and exits of the bamboo forest, and Baozhan re-inspected the place.
