Chapter 947: Questioning
The producer smoked a cigar and said, "In the evening, Miss Xia and I were in the conference room... talking about something. Miss Xia and Little Ai are dating. He somehow ran into us and misunderstood what was happening. Then, we had a fight. In fact, this was just the fuse. During this period, he brought up old debts, saying that I didn’t try hard enough to raise his popularity, so he missed several opportunities. However, in fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Little Ai himself has no skill. It’s unknown how much the investors have put into him only for him to still be a third-line actor even now."
Lin Dongxue nodded her head. She didn\'t care what the producer was doing with Xia Xiaolou at the time. "Ms. Xia was there the whole time during the quarrel?"
"Always present... Ah no, then she went back to her room first."
"Which room?"
"Miss Xia and Little Ai live in the same room." The producer wiped his mouth out of guilty conscience.
"I\'m very curious. What is the relationship between you and Little Ai? You keep talking about the investors. Who are the investors?"
"The investors are a... a real estate company. The boss took advantage of the real estate boom to make some money and began to develop towards the film and television industry. He invested in some films. Little Ai is the son of a certain executive. I have also worked in film and television before, which is why I’m a bit clearer on the industry. Therefore, the investors asked me to be the representative and raise Little Ai to popularity while I was at it.” The producer replied vaguely.
"What time did the argument happen?"
"About 8:00PM... Don\'t suspect me because at 9:00PM, I went to the corridor to smoke and heard Little Ai and Cai Zhengkai arguing. Cai Zhengkai was the last to see him. There was a conflict between the two. Cai Zhengkai is absolutely suspicious!"
Lin Dongxue recorded all this information down, thanked him, and then called Xia Xiaolou out.
Xia Xiaolou looked at Lin Dongxue up and down. "I didn\'t expect the police to be so good-looking. Isn\'t it a pity to be a police officer?"
"Everyone is waiting. I won\'t make small talk with you. What were you doing at night?"
"What did the producer say?"
"I\'m asking you now!"
Xia Xiaolou shrugged. "At around 8:00PM, I was having sex with the producer in the conference room. Did you want to hear about this? An actress hooking up with the producer. I warn you, don’t talk to others about this or I will get my lawyer to send you a letter suing you."
Tao Yueyue frowned on the side. It was the complete collapse of human design.
"And then?"
"Little Ai ran in, caught us in the act, and I was terrified at the time. My clothes weren’t even put on properly yet! Look, my face is still red. It was a slap in the face from Little Ai. They both quarrelled loudly and it was very fierce. I was afraid that I would be caught in it, so I took the opportunity to sneak back into my room. Actually, I have been together with the producer for quite a while, but this matter has never been discussed with Little Ai. He unilaterally thought I was his girlfriend, but I lost my feelings of novelty towards him long ago. I was alone in the room, feeling irritated, and I thought I would just take this opportunity to break up with him. But no matter how long I waited, he didn’t come back. Then, I heard someone shouting outside. Later, I found out that he had fallen from the building and died."
"You stayed in the room from 8:00PM till 10:00PM? Can anyone prove it?"
"Who can prove this?" Xia Xiaolou bit her lip. "By the way, you know what happened in the afternoon?"
"The props matter?"
"Yes! That was actually done by Little Ai. He has always been jealous of Cai Zhengkai because they always play the same roles. Or, you could say that Little Ai made his debut by imitating Cai Zhengkai at the beginning. Little Ai has strong capital supporting him from behind. This background is something that most actors are jealous of. However, he just wouldn’t get popular. Cai Zhengkai on the other hand is a serious actor who graduated from a drama class, doesn’t have such a solid backer, but he became a hit. Of course, Little Ai was very jealous of him, so he secretly did bad things to him. This isn’t the first time either. Though of course, this time, it was indeed a bit over the line... I only know this much. Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Tao Yueyue asked, "What do you think of your role as \'Chen Yueyue\'?"
Xia Xiaolou rejoiced. "What? Are you suddenly a guest reporter? I haven\'t read the script yet. I just read the summary. I think it\'s completely fictional. The little girl outwits a serial killer. I can’t believe that even this kind of story can be made up. The screenwriters nowadays really don’t have anything to write about, haha."
"That was adapted from real people and real events!"
"Who cares?! I just get paid. I\'ll go back to my room if there are no other questions."
"Leave down your contact information!"
"Yes, but don\'t tell anyone. My phone number is not easily given out."
After getting the phone number, Lin Dongxue asked Xia Xiaolou to stand next to the wall to take photos of her. Xia Xiaolou was reluctant and said that she didn\'t have makeup on, but due to Lin Dongxue\'s insistence, in the end she still agreed.
As Xia Xiaolou left, Tao Yueyue looked at her silhouette quickly receding and said, "I think she should transform to play those kinds of bad women. She’d definitely be more brilliant than acting as innocent girls."
"Haha, become acquainted with the unusual!"
"By the way, why did you take her photo?"
"When investigating the case, it\'s convenient to use it to question people... The photo of the producer hasn\'t been taken yet! Has he left?"
"I\'ll go find him!"
"Thank you. I will continue to ask others."
Tao Yueyue ran to the producer’s room and heard crying from the inside. She knocked on the door and he shouted from the inside, "Who is it?"
"I\'m the daughter of Officer Lin. There’s something I need to ask you."
"Wait a minute!"
A minute later, the producer opened the door. His face was red as if he had drunk alcohol. Tao Yueyue explained her intentions and the producer was very cooperative.
After taking the photo, he asked, "How long will it take for the case to be resolved?"
"I dare not talk nonsense about this, but the police will definitely try their best."
"Okay, okay, you definitely are the child of an officer. You speak so cordially. At the lunch table at noon, I found that you seemed to hate me a little bit. Do you think that investor representatives like us make things difficult and annoying?"
"Uh... A little bit."
"If you want to be a police officer in the future, you have to learn to think from the standpoints of different people. Us investors are all laymen. We don’t know anything about film and television. We only have money, so we can’t be fooled. There was once a director who took our money and used it on a mistress. The accounts were written beautifully every day, so we got the crew to supervise and watch the money be spent on what’s needed.
"But I feel that if you interfere like this and hinder other people\'s creativity, you won\'t be able to make any money back if the movie is shot poorly in the end!"
"Movies are just commodities. If you’re good at marketing, you can still earn money. It seems you still need to learn a lot, but I\'m not in the mood to talk to you about it right now. I will go back to my room and rest."
"Excuse me..."
Tao Yueyue stopped the producer, who was about to return to his room. He turned to look at her.
"Excuse me, what is the real relationship between you and Little Ai? I heard you crying in the room just now. I think your relationship should be very close!"
"We are just in a partnership..."
"Well, it doesn\'t matter if you don\'t say it. The police will find out anyway."
The producer looked at her. His serious gaze made her a little nervous, and the producer sneered. "You truly are a little police officer! Actually... Little Ai is my son! To be precise, he’s an illegitimate child."
