Chapter 1694 Who Is Behind the Scenes (One More)
Surveillance was installed on the set, and with so many filming machines on display, it was not difficult for the police to find out who replaced the water with gasoline.
"This staff member is an old man from Director Yang's team. His name is Li Ming. He has been in charge of the props team. Surveillance video shows that he secretly poured gasoline into the wine barrel while everyone was eating at noon. Now the police are looking for his identity. The whereabouts, I believe there will be results soon.”
Xi Xi hung up the phone, Ruan Qi frowned.
Ruan Munan: "Have you found the real culprit for the arson?"
Ruan Qi said 'hmm', "It's from the props team, named Li Ming."
"Props group?" Ruan Munan frowned slightly, "Xiao Qi, did you have a problem with him?"
Ruan Qi shook her head: "No. I've only met Li Ming twice, so I'm not familiar with him."
Ruan Munan: "You didn't have a feud with him, so it means Lin Tingting or the director is at odds with him?"
Ruan Qi shook his head again.
"The police said that Lin Tingting didn't know Li Ming either. Li Ming is an old man in Director Yang's team, and he has a good relationship with everyone, and no one in the team has ever had a quarrel with him."
When Xi Jiu and Ruan Munan heard this, they all frowned.
There is no conflict with Ruan Qilin Tingting, and there is no conflict with the director, so why did Li Ming replace gasoline with water?
Enough support?
"Just wait. When the police arrest Li Ming and bring him to justice, everything will come to light."
Ruan Qi thought well, but the development of the matter exceeded everyone's expectations.
Li Ming is missing.
The police searched the city for 24 hours, and Li Ming was not arrested until Ruan Qi was discharged from the hospital the next day.
It was as if he had evaporated from the world.
"Is there no clue at his house?" Ruan Qi got into the nanny's car and asked Xi Xi.
Xi Xi shook his head: "Li Ming's family didn't know what happened to him. From yesterday to now, Li Ming hasn't returned home, nor contacted any family members. The police checked all the surveillance cameras near the studio, but they didn't find his name. trace."
Ruan Qi couldn't help frowning.
Although the vicinity of the studio is relatively remote, there are surveillance cameras on the traffic arteries and around the studio.
Li Ming is an ordinary worker who doesn't understand electronic equipment. How did he escape so much surveillance?
Could it be that someone is helping him behind his back?
Ruan Qi pondered for a long time, then suddenly asked a question: "How is Li Ming's family?"
"There is an old man and a young child. The husband and wife have a harmonious relationship. There is a daughter, and both parents are still alive." Xi Xi answered truthfully.
Ruan Qi: "What does his wife do?"
"What do you do...it seems to be a cashier in a small company." Xi Xi recalled the police's investigation results, "Li Ming's family is an ordinary family with a middle-to-lower financial situation."
"Below average?" Ruan Qi keenly sensed something was wrong.
Yang Lin has always been generous to his team members. Especially the old employees, the monthly salary is very high. Coupled with bonuses, red envelopes, etc., Li Ming's monthly income can be at least 15,000 yuan.
A monthly income of 15,000 yuan is really nothing in a metropolis like the imperial capital. But excluding those rich people who are worth tens of millions, the income of 15,000 yuan in ordinary families is definitely not considered to be below the middle level.
Ruan Qi was puzzled, and looked up at Xi Xi.
Xi Xi knew what she was wondering, and explained: "Li Ming's daughter is not in good health, and it costs a lot of money to take medicine every month."
When Ruan Qi heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong with his daughter?"
"Not sure." Xi Xi shook her head, "Xiaoqi, if you want to know, I'll ask someone to check it out?"
Ruan Qi thought for a moment, and replied: "Check in detail. What disease does his daughter suffer from, what is her recent physical condition, including which hospital she went to, all should be checked more clearly. Also, the recent news of Li Ming and his family members Also check the bank account details. Uncle hee hee, sorry for the trouble."
Si Xi smiled and waved her hands, turned around and got out of the nanny's car.
The nanny car drove towards the crew hotel.
Because the police are investigating the scene, the crew has not filmed for the past two days. Ruan Qi returned to the hotel, and as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw director Yang Lin who was frowning.
"Director Yang," Ruan Qi greeted, his eyes swept over his dark circles, "You didn't sleep last night?"
"I'm not in the mood to sleep." Yang Lin sighed, "If you don't film for a day, you will burn an extra day of money. The producer is still complaining all the time, and the Internet doesn't stop, it's so annoying."
Ruan Qi had been sleeping in the ward yesterday, except for reporting that she was safe on Weibo, she did not surf the Internet at other times.
So she doesn't know much about the public opinion on the Internet.
"Is there a lot of trouble online?"
Yang Lin: "It's okay, within the controllable range. You and Lin Tingting's fans are quite qualified, but Heizi and Shuijun are more happy."
"Fire" is a big production, and many of Yang Lin's opponents are very afraid of this movie. Now that the set is on fire, these people will naturally add insult to injury and tarnish the reputation of Yang Lin and the crew.
Yang Lin: "The police said that the truth about the fire on the set will be announced this afternoon. As long as the truth is announced, the crew will not have to take the blame. What I worry about now is Li Ming and Lin Tingting."
"What's wrong with Sister Tingting?" Speaking of Lin Tingting, Ruan Qi couldn't help asking a few more questions, "How is she doing now? Has she been discharged from the hospital? Are the burns serious?"
"The burn is not serious, but the condition is not very good." Yang Lin wiped his face, frowning. "The doctor said that there are two burns on her body that may leave scars. One is on the abdomen and the other is on the collarbone."
Those who work in the entertainment industry, no matter whether they are male or female artists, having scars on their bodies is a taboo.
Especially the scar on the collarbone may be exposed, which is very likely to affect Lin Tingting's future career.
Yang Lin felt ashamed to Lin Tingting: "The doctor said that scar removal surgery can be done after burns, but the scars cannot be completely removed. Tingting is only 26 years old. If such a young girl has scars, what will she do when she is filming? "
Yang Lin is not the kind of director who only recognizes money but not conscience.
When he thought that Lin Tingting might not be filmed because of her scar, he felt bad conscience.
Because of this incident, Yang Lin stayed up all night worried and scolded the 18th generation of Li Ming's ancestor countless times in his heart.
He couldn't help but sighed again: "I'm going to the hospital to see Lin Tingting, and then I have to go to the police station. Xiao Qi, take a good rest, don't go out if you have nothing to do these two days."
Yang Lin gave a few instructions and was about to leave.
Ruan Qi stopped him: "Director Yang, wait a minute."
"?" Yang Lin stopped in doubt.
Ruan Qi waved to Mo Lan, and whispered something in her ear. Mo Lan nodded, then turned around and left the hotel quickly.
Yang Lin: "Xiaoqi, you are..."
"I have scar-removing ointment, which can eradicate Sister Tingting's burns. The ointment is at home, and I asked Sister Lan to get it."
