The next morning, Liu Chun got out of bed early and, after calling Pang Wenke, went together to the filming location of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" to start by checking the scene where Liu Yifei disappeared. This was probably much better than blindly guessing.
Director Zhang had just gotten up and arrived at the film set when Liu Chun and the others had already been waiting for him for a long time, holding freshly bought fruit in their hands, though the plastic bags looked a bit tacky.
"Oh my god!" Director Zhang was startled and took two steps back as soon as he looked up. He then asked, "Brother Liu, is there any news about Liu Yifei? I tried to contact her again last night, but I tried everything, and I still don't know what she did or where she is now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Chun shook his head slightly: "If I could contact her, I probably wouldn't be here right now."
"Director Zhang, where and when was the last time your crew saw her? What was she doing at the time?"
Faced with Liu Chun's three questions in a row, Zhang Jizhong was momentarily speechless. However, he quickly recalled what had happened and said to Liu Chun and the others after a moment, "Brother Liu Chun, the last time we saw her was on the filming set. Later, she said she needed to use the restroom first, and then she never came back. We've been waiting for her for ages!"
Liu Chun sought Zhang Jizhong's opinion: "Director Zhang, as an old friend, I wonder if we can still go in and take a look now?"
Zhang Jizhong's solemn face immediately broke into a wide smile, and he made way for Zhang Jizhong behind him: "What are you saying? We are very good friends. Not only can we see it, but we can even visit it."
"Come on, come with me into the filming location. Because Liu Yifei didn't come back in time yesterday, I didn't continue the filming. The location is still very well preserved."
Soon, Liu Chun accompanied director Zhang Jizhong to the filming location where she last met Liu Yifei.
The area has now been cordoned off with ropes, and no one is allowed to approach or attempt to enter. There are definitely people observing carefully, and once a suspect is spotted, he will certainly not be able to escape.
Director Zhang Jizhong pulled up the rope and led Liu Chun and the others inside.
In the very center of the filming location, there are even traces left by the actors after filming, some of which are footprints left by Liu Yifei.
Pointing to the footprints on the ground, Zhang Jizhong analyzed, "Why don't we hurry up and check over to the restroom? Just looking at the footprints here won't tell us anything. Shall we go check over there?"
After some analysis, Liu Chun and Pang Wenke didn't notice anything unusual, and finally agreed with his suggestion, turning around and following him to the restroom.
After waiting until no one was in the restroom, Zhang Jizhong had someone wait outside while he led Liu Chun and the others inside. They quickly located a restroom, opened the door, and went in.
"According to the clues provided by the secretary, this should be the place where Liu Yifei last disappeared." Zhang Jizhong looked around, a clear sense of disappointment on his face. "Unfortunately, this place is only so big, and we can't figure anything out right now. Brother Liu Chun, is there anything else we can do?"
Liu Chun glanced at Pang Wenke, then took a few steps back and went to the adjacent restroom to check the situation, trying to find out something.
Zhang Jizhong followed them out, and after they finished their inspection, he preemptively asked, "Did you find anything?"
Liu Chun and Pang Wenke both shook their heads: "The traces here seem to have been cleaned up very thoroughly. Apart from the traces of previous use, there is nothing superfluous or puzzling about the rest of the place."
"My situation is the same; there's nothing unusual at all."
In this situation, there is only one possibility for Liu Yifei to disappear from the film crew without a trace.
"She might have gone outside!" Liu Chun quickly prompted.
Zhang Jizhong was deeply puzzled by this: "But I had already questioned everyone in the crew, and Liu Yifei hasn't appeared since she left the filming location. Everyone in the crew gave roughly the same answer, meaning that's it."
"Don't worry, Director Zhang. If she didn't disappear here, she must have disappeared outside. And maybe she even left us some clues."
At this moment, Zhang Jizhong seemed to have thought of something, but he chose to remain silent, indicating that he was unaware of the matter.
When Liu Chun and the others arrived outside, the traces on the road had already been cleaned up by the sanitation workers who got up early that morning, just like every day.
Liu Chun was hoping to find something here, but now it seemed even more difficult.
"What's going on, Director Zhang?" Liu Chun turned to look at him, a disbelieving smile on her lips, her head tilted to one side.
Zhang Jizhong replied somewhat awkwardly, "Our crew advocates for environmental protection, so the cleaning staff arrives immediately every day to clean and keep the place clean at all times."
You made it sound so exciting, but now we've gotten ourselves into serious trouble. We've cleaned the place up so thoroughly, how are we supposed to find Liu Yifei now?
While Pang Wenke and Zhang Jizhong were still at a loss, Liu Chun had already transformed into "Detective Conan," bending down to carefully observe everything around him, making sure he didn't miss anything.
"Brother Liu, with such a big change happening here, even if the person who took Liu Yifei away didn't erase the traces in time, we still won't be able to find out anything!" Pang Wenke jogged over to Liu Chun and asked directly.
Liu Chun's reply was even simpler: "Instead of standing there clueless, why don't you come with me and look around? Maybe there's something left at the scene?"
Seeing that Liu Chun was still persistent, Zhang Jizhong didn't say much and immediately started searching as well, effectively silencing Pang Wenke, who was about to say something.
"Okay, let's look for it carefully then. If we can't find it, let's think of other ways quickly."
……
After a long while, Zhang Jizhong's secretary rushed towards everyone with a laptop in hand, looking anxious. "Director Zhang, we found something in the surveillance footage. Would you like to take a look?"
The three people who were working hard with their heads down all looked up at her when they heard this, and then quickly put down their work and swarmed around her.
"Hurry up, now that we've spotted a stranger, let's take a good look at who this guy is!"
Liu Chun watched quietly from the side. When he saw Si Huajin, dressed in light clothing, appear in front of the camera, a surge of anger immediately welled up from the bottom of his heart and rushed straight to the top of his head.
Seeing Liu Chun's anger, Zhang Jizhong asked him, "What's wrong? Do you two know each other?"
Pang Wenke, watching from the side, gritted his teeth: "They're not just acquaintances, they're quite familiar with each other. I just didn't expect Si Huajin to dare to come looking for Liu Yifei. It seems the disappearance is indeed related to him!"
After a long silence, Liu Chun said, "Director Zhang, we'd like to stay on the set for now. Could you perhaps arrange some work for us?"
Zhang Jizhong waved his hand and said, "No need, it's no big deal if you're just staying for a while. Do whatever you want, don't be shy."
"it is good."
Just then, someone in the crew shouted, "Sister Liu Yifei is back!"
