Ch240 – Starlight Entertainment 02
At the same time, Starlight Entertainment’s boss’ room .
Shao Qingge sat in the boss’ chair and pressed a hand against his temples . Though he soon accepted this identity .
He walked to the French windows to take a look outside . The city was very strange . It was obvious that all of the group members had been transported to a city with a modern background . The northern metropolis seemed to have snowed a few days ago . There were still some traces of snow on the streets . Pedestrians on the streets came and went in a hurry . Most of them were wearing down jackets and were wrapped up tightly . The temperature outside should be very cold .
There were computers, mobile phones and other equipment on the table . He turned on a computer and found some documents inside . The various schedules and project planning books were messy and he couldn’t find any clues for the time being . The company had too many contracted artists .
He unlocked his phone and found the address book full of the numbers of agents and celebrities . He glanced through quickly and found a familiar name . Ye Qi? Shao Qingge’s eyes narrowed with interest and he tried making a call .
Ye Qi, who was having his hair tortured by the stylist, suddenly heard a ringtone . His phone was in the hands of his agent Yun Lan . She picked it up and spoke respectfully . “Chief Shao . ”
Shao Qingge asked in a low voice, “Is Ye Qi there?”
“Yes, I’m taking him to determine the makeup and hair style for the concert . ”
“Give him the phone . ”
Ye Qi’s eyes lit up after hearing ‘Chief Shao . ’ His ears pricked and a man’s low voice was heard from his phone . It was the Shao Qingge he was familiar with . Yun Lan handed him the phone . Ye Qi concealed his excitement and spoke respectfully . “Hello Chief Shao . ’
Shao Qingge couldn’t help chuckling when he heard the respectful voice . “What’s the situation on your side? Is it okay?”
Ye Qi replied, “I am doing styling with Sister Yun to prepare for the concert in three days . ”
Shao Qingge heard the key clue in his words . “Concert?”
Ye Qi spoke seriously, “I will be a special guest in three days and participate in the concert of the Five-505 female group . ”
“Oh, how are you preparing?”
Ye Qi spoke cooperatively, “Sister Yun has already arranged everything . ”
Shao Qingge spoke to Ye Qi while searching for the information of the Five-505 female group on his computer . As the computer of the boss, the information here was very complete . This combination needed to be focused on so Shao Qingge transferred the information to his desktop for reference .
The five young girls were all pretty . There was detailed information such as their debut experience, family background, etc . Shao Qingge took out a USB flash drive and copied over all the materials . He planned to hand it over to Yu Hanjiang later .
As he copied the information, he asked Ye Qi in a low voice, “Did you see any other teammates?”
“Rb . ”
Ye Qi touched his nose . “It is just a routine check . I’m not very familiar with him . ”
Yun Lan spoke seriously, “At this concert, all newcomers in the company want to become a familiar face . I helped you get this opportunity so you must grasp it . Go back and practice singing . Make sure to leave a good impression on the audience . ”
Ye Qi replied, “I know Sister Yun . ”
Meanwhile, he wondered about the location of his other teammates . At present, he could only contact Shao Qingge . What identity would Liu Qiao have?

At the same time, the movie and television studio .
Old Mo looked at the design drawings in front of him with a dazed expression until someone urged him, “This indoor scene must be set up as soon as possible . It will be used after three days . The first few scenes are all shot here . It will be hard on you, Old Mo . ”
Mo Xuemin’s senses returned . “Okay, I will do my best!”
He looked around and found that he was in a movie and television shooting base . He was surrounded by many people with costumes and props, photographers checking the shooting location and lighting engineers busy with the lighting .
In the chaos, Mo Xuemin noticed a fair-skinned and handsome boy instantly . He was holding a script in his hand and sitting in a corner reciting lines alone . The script had the words ‘Twin Flowers’ written on it .
Mo Xuemin understood . This should be the set of a movie or television series and they were making the final preparations before starting it .
The crew was mixed . In addition to the actors and agents, there were the directors, screenwriters, lighting engineers, photographers, sound effects engineers, all types of assistants and the service people . The entire crew had hundreds of people and not all their names could be remembered .
Mo Xuemin went around and soon met a familiar gaze . He quickly walked over . “Teacher Qu?”
Qu Wanyue smiled . “Old Mo, what a coincidence!”
There were many people coming and going and no one paid attention to them . Old Mo winked and called Qu Wanyue to a corner where no one could hear . Then he asked in a low voice, “What is the situation on your side?”
Qu Wanyue explained, “I am a dance stand-in . The heroine of this drama has many dance scenes . I just talked to her agent . The agent said the actress is injured and might require a stand-in for the more difficult moves . ”
Mo Xuemin told her, “I am a scene designer and helping to build the indoor shooting scene . By the way, have you seen anyone else?”
“Long Sen is also in the crew . I just saw him work with the props team . I haven’t seen anyone else . ”
Old Mo touched his chin . “Since Group Leader Yu and Professor Xiao haven’t shown up, let’s collect clues first . Normally, someone will die when they show up . ”
Qu Wanyue didn’t know if she should laugh or cry . “You are treating them as Detective Conan . Wherever they go, someone will be murdered . ”
Old Mo, “......”
Come to think of it, this was indeed the case?

Liu Qiao organized the script and put it on the table .
A handsome young man was lying lazily on the sofa, feet crossed together and yawning sleepily .
Next to him, the agent was lecturing . “This time, we will go there two days in advance to get to know the crew . Director Zhang is very strict . No matter how popular you are, if you don’t perform well in the filming then he will curse you directly . You should put away your own bad temper and avoid offending Director Zhang . ”
The man frowned impatiently . “I know . Can you stop and let me sleep well first?”
The agent was silent for a moment before waving to Liu Qiao . “Let’s go Xiao Liu . You will go pack the bags with me . We will join the crew tomorrow . ”
Liu Qiao followed the agent . As she walked to the door, she looked back at the male star on the sofa .
She was currently the assistant to Cheng Yu, a well-known popular young star in the entertainment industry . Cheng Yu had accepted an idol drama called Twin Flowers which would be started in three days . She would go to the crew to report with the agent and male star tomorrow .
Liu Qiao had glanced at the script just now . This drama was about the love and hatred between a pair of twin sisters . The heroine was set as a ballerina . The protagonist played by Cheng Yu was a rich second generation . The plot was very good and dog-blooded .
It was a common urban idol drama about the rich . As she read the script, Liu Qiao asked the agent the name of the lead actress .
The heroine and twin sister were played by one person and there was a high probability that there would be a look-alike stand-in to help . The actor was the popular actress Qiao Xuening from Starlight Entertainment . Liu Qiao deliberately noted down the names of the male and female lead . She would get to know the other unimportant roles after arriving at the crew .
She intuitively felt that something would happen to the crew . Liu Qiao couldn’t contact her teammates so she could only follow the agent .

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang sat in the police car and soon drove to the Yuehu Villa area .
On the way, Xiao Lou took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Yu Hanjiang . “Perhaps it is due to the modern urban background but all my ancient character summoning cards are disabled . Qin Guan can’t be summoned and Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings isn’t available . ”
Yu Hanjiang replied, “Fortunately, everyone in this world has a mobile phone . ”
Xiao Lou smiled and continued to send messages to chat with Group Leader Yu . “The deceased found at the villa is likely just a character . I don’t know where the others are scattered . What are their identities? There should be a follow-up story . ”
“No hurry . There is no time limit in the secret room so let’s follow the plot first . ”
Xiao Lou replied, “Okay . ”
The security guards at the entrance of the villa area stopped their car . Yu Hanjiang showed them his police officer card . “Police here to investigate a case . ” The faces of the security guards changed and they let Yu Hanjiang and his party go to the door of the old lady who reported the crime .
The car stopped and Yu Hanjiang quickly got off, Xiao Lou following closely behind .
The other police officers cordoned off the scene .
Yu Hanjiang went to the person who made the report and asked a few simple questions . It was an old lady who reported the crime . She said, “I found my cat missing this morning . I went to look for him and saw him crawling out of the window of the villa next door with blood on his body . The door of this villa is locked and no one has been here for many days . I couldn’t get in . The cat jumped in from the window on the roof!”
Yu Hanjiang nodded . He neatly climbed up, entered the villa and opened the door from the inside .
The police officers, forensics doctor and assistants entered .
This was a three-storey single family villa . The decorations were very luxurious . As soon as a person entered the door, they felt a blast of air-conditioning . Xiao Lou sneezed from the cold . It felt like walking into an ice cellar . There was no obvious smell of rotting corpses in the house . Yu Hanjiang led Xiao Lou to the master bedroom on the third floor . The bedroom door was open and the quilts were neatly stacked . He pushed open the bathroom door .
A woman was seen lying in the bathtub wearing a bathrobe . There were bloodstains from knife cuts all over her body . A lot of ice cubes covered her body which was why there wasn’t the obvious smell of a rotting corpse .
It was winter and all the heating in the house had been turned off, so the ice didn’t melt . The bathroom door was open and the cat had entered through the window .
Xiao Lou couldn’t help staring at the corpse with knife marks all over her body . How much hatred had this woman incurred to be killed so cruelly?
