Chapter 1369 Panic Spreads (Fish without bones are the most delicious)

I have to say, it was quite terrifying to find a dead body during the filming process.

And what’s even more terrifying is that the corpse is someone they know!

"Hey, what's going on?"

"What should we do now?"

"Call the police, we have no choice but to call the police!!"

For a moment, the entire filming site was in chaos, and the staff didn't know what to do. Seeing the chaos in front of him, Duanmu Huai frowned, then he walked forward and yelled.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Duanmu Huai's roar was louder than the thunder outside, and it made everyone's ears ring. They closed their mouths involuntarily and looked at Duanmu Huai anxiously. Duanmu Huai stared at them and looked around slowly.

"Don't make any noise! ​​Stay still and call the police immediately. Everyone stay where you are and don't move around!"

"…………………"

With Duanmu Huai's order, the staff gradually calmed down, and then Duanmu Huai pointed at someone at random.

"You, call the police."

"Hey? Should I call the police?"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's order, the staff member was stunned for a moment, then looked uneasily at the director standing not far away - at this moment the director was still standing there stupidly, staring at the corpse hanging in the air like a stone statue.

Duanmu Huai also looked at the director and frowned.

"Director, call the police."

"Ah, oh."

After hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the director came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream and nodded subconsciously.

“Okay, okay, call the police… call the police…”

After getting the director's permission, the staff member called the police. Then he said a few words and looked at Duanmu Huai with a bitter face.

“That, that…………”

"Ok?"

"I have called the police, but they said the weather was too bad and our area was too remote to respond at this time. They asked us not to disturb the scene and to wait until the rain stopped before sending someone to investigate..."

"What about the body? Just leave it hanging like this?"

The staff member turned to the phone again and repeated Duanmu Huai's question.

"Yes, don't destroy the scene, and don't move the body... That's what the other party said."

"OK then."

Duanmu Huai picked up the flashlight and shone it around. The entire villa was a huge warehouse, completely enclosed, with only a few small windows on the second floor for ventilation. Apart from that, there was nothing here. Then Duanmu Huai shone the light on the body again. The body was still hanging on the beam, shaking slightly, with a crooked head and a wide-open mouth, looking painful and terrifying. Well, this is nonsense. Hanging is a relatively painful way to commit suicide.

"Let's go and lock the door."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand, and no one else spoke at this moment. It must be said that although Duanmu Huai looked extremely fierce, everyone really needed a backbone on this occasion. The director now looked distraught and could not be relied on at all. If Duanmu Huai had not stood up in time to command everyone, no one knew what to do.

After hearing Duanmu Huai's order, the others did not speak, but walked out of the villa silently and locked the door. As they watched the door locked, a staff member suddenly spoke.

"Hey, you guys said that this annex was locked, how did Sawamura get in?"

"………………!?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then felt a chill all over their bodies.

  Yes, this annex was locked, so how did Sawamura get in?

"Hasn't he got a key?"

"There's only one key, and the director specifically told me not to lose it."

"this……………"

Having said this, everyone shut their mouths at the same time, and felt a chill all over their bodies.

  The annex was locked, so how did that person get in?

"Okay, stop thinking so much!"

Seeing that the others looked terrified, Duanmu Huai waved his hand.

"Maybe he climbed in through the second-story window."

"But, but why did he choose that place?"

At this moment, the crosstalk artist also mustered up the courage to ask, but Duanmu Huai glared at him.

"How would I know what those who want to commit suicide are thinking? Maybe he thinks it's quiet there. Okay, let's go back to the main building!"

Duanmu Huai said so, and the others did not dare to say anything more. They followed Duanmu Huai's instructions and returned to the main hall. This place was no different from before, except that it was dead silent now. Everyone sat there blankly, not daring to speak. Those who spoke spoke in a low voice, gathered in groups of three or two. Obviously, this incident had dealt a heavy blow to them.

  Although they were all filming suicide sites, they never imagined that one day one of their own would commit suicide!

This is much more shocking than taking pictures of those unknown corpses!

Only Duanmu Huai was leaning against the wall next to the hall, chatting with Shionji Ariko and Sakuya.

Yuuko Shionji was originally drowsy, but this sudden stimulation woke her up.

This is a murder in a closed room!

"Alright, alright, what's with the secret room murder? You really think you're a detective."

Listening to Ziyuan Temple Youzi's chattering, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

"How come it's not a murder in a closed room? You heard it before. There is only one key to the annex, and the door was locked before. There is no reason for a suicidal person to climb through the window. Moreover, the window is high up on the second floor. If there is no place to climb outside, there is no way to get up!"

"That's easy."

Duanmu Huai yawned.

“The staff member who opened the door is the murderer. In fact, the door of the annex was not locked at all. He just pretended to open it. Well, the case is solved. Isn’t this the plot in all detective novels?” “…………………………”

After being interrupted by Duanmu Huai, Shionji Youzi was completely speechless, while Sakuya next to her also laughed dryly.

"No matter what, we have to investigate. No one can solve a case like you do."

"I'm not a detective either."

Duanmu Huai spread out his hands. He didn't care about the murder in the secret room. After all, things like the Old Days could give you so many tricks. Even if someone really manipulated the staff to get into the secret room and hang himself, it was not impossible. Why bother with such things?

But what Ziyuansi Youzi said was right, after all, the investigation still needed to be done... So Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked to the side, waving his hand.

"You guys, come here!"

"Ah, yes."

The three staff members gathered nearby were also startled when they heard Duanmu Huai's greeting, and then walked over tremblingly.

“May I ask what may I do for you?

"Tell me about that staff member? What happened before?"

"this……………"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's questions, the three staff members were a little uneasy, but they still gritted their teeth and explained to Duanmu Huai what had happened in the hall before.

"So, you're saying that the cameraman was scolded by the director because he forgot to play the tape?"

"Yes………"

“Is he often scolded?”

"That's not the case. Maybe the director just has a bad temper. We've all been criticized by him to some extent, so he's not targeting Sawamura in particular... After all, the director has been in the studio for a long time and everyone respects him."

It’s the same seniority-based ranking system as in Japan.

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes. This is what the Japanese say. Whether it is in the symphony club or in the company, the status is ranked according to the length of time. Forget it, this is none of his business...

"So how did that person perform before?"

"It's normal. At least we don't look particularly strange..."

"Oh... okay, you can go now."

After getting the information he wanted, Duanmu Huai dismissed the staff with a few words. Meanwhile, Shionji Yuko and Sakuya also heard the conversation between the two and were confused.

"Just because he was scolded, he chose to commit suicide? Isn't this too exaggerated?"

"People in society are like this. Some people keep things to themselves. Maybe the photographer was one of them. He may have suffered too much injustice before, and the director scolded him, which was the last straw that broke the camel's back. So he chose to commit suicide."

"But why did he commit suicide in the Annex?"

"this……………"

"What do you mean?"

Just as Duanmu Huai was communicating with the two people, suddenly, a roar was heard. Duanmu Huai turned around and saw the director standing there angrily, glaring at the staff in front of him.

"You mean, I killed Sawamura? You have to understand, that guy committed suicide! Suicide! He wanted to die! It has nothing to do with me! Or, do you want to say that I am a murderer?!"

"I, that's not what I meant, Director..."

Seeing the director so angry, the staff member was also very surprised. He just wanted to ask the director if he knew whether the assistant photographer had encountered any difficulties before. Unexpectedly, the director jumped up and cursed at him like a cat whose tail was stepped on. This surprised the staff member, who waved his hands and stepped back.

But the director didn't seem to have any intention of letting him go. He glared at the staff member fiercely, and then glanced around.

"What? You also think I killed him? Did I kill him? What a joke! You all saw it! That guy committed suicide! Suicide! Damn it, that bastard, he's still causing me trouble even after his death!"

  Seeing the director's furious look, no one dared to speak and could only watch him from a distance. Seeing this scene, the director became even more furious. He grabbed the fruit knife on the table and gestured at everyone!

"Come on, since you think I'm a murderer, then I'll really kill someone to show you!!"

While yelling, the director rushed towards the staff in front of him!

When the staff member saw the director rushing towards him, he gritted his teeth and suddenly picked up the iron rod next to him.

"Damn it, I'm going to fight you!!"

  After saying that, the staff member was not afraid of the knife in the director's hand. He walked straight forward, raised the iron rod and smashed it on the director's head!

Seeing this scene, everyone around screamed loudly, and just as the two men started to fight, Duanmu Huai suddenly appeared, then he reached out, grabbed their necks one in each hand, and lifted them up like two puppies.

"What are you doing? Stop it now!"

However, facing Duanmu Huai's angry shouts, the two men still looked crazy and desperate.

"I'm going to kill you. Kill you. It doesn't matter if I kill one or two!"

"I'm going to kill you! I've wanted to kill you for a long time! Die now!"

“………………MMP.”

Looking at the two people who were caught in his hands and struggling with red eyes and trying to attack, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes helplessly, then he grabbed their heads and slammed them hard.

"boom!"

The next moment, the two men's heads collided with each other, making a dull sound, and then the two men rolled their eyes and fainted completely.

"Really? You guys are just looking for trouble when you have nothing to do."

Duanmu Huai threw the two unconscious people to the ground and gave orders at the same time.

"Find a rope and tie these two guys up to prevent them from causing trouble again."

After hearing what Duanmu Huai said, a staff member quickly went to do it, while Duanmu Huai stared at the two unconscious people, and then looked around. He also found that the atmosphere here was a little bit wrong at the moment. Although it seemed dead silent on the surface, everyone's eyes were a little strange, as if their emotions were very unstable...

Could this be the secret of this mansion?
