I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 256 The seats are packed
Jinyaoxuan specialty restaurant of the Jiangcheng Westin Hotel is where the highlight of Jiang Hanwen's crew was filmed.

The hot pot restaurant is located on the 50th floor of the Westin Hotel Jiefangbei, Jiangcheng. It is an extraordinary dining venue for tasting authentic hot pot. While eating hot pot, you can also enjoy the charming skyline view of Jiefangbei.

This place is considered one of the most luxurious restaurants in Jiangcheng.

But as Jiang Hanwen said, the fancy thing is still about hotpot.

This is not because he is deliberately showing off. For him, a heavy hot pot lover, the high-end of the dining environment is not the first priority, but the taste is. Those hot pot restaurants with truly authentic taste are often hidden in alleys.

At a height of 50 floors, with large windows next to the windows, you can have an unobstructed view of the city.

In order to facilitate the filming, the store owner specially placed a large round table made of solid wood, with three copper pots in the middle. The peppers were rolling up and down in the bottom of the pots, hot and spicy.

Under the lights, with smoke from the hot pot rising, all the actors were seated, thirteen in total.

The wealthy businessman played by Jiang Hanwen sat in the main seat, and Wu, played by Zhang Songwen, sat next to him.

There is a main camera position, and a circular surround camera position is made around the table with sliding rails, which can capture the facial expressions of each character on the table during shooting.

These routine operations are nothing special, and any capable crew can perform them nowadays.

the difference is.

The audience for this show was peculiar, as all the empty seats in the store were filled.

Even the boss who never shows up on weekdays is here.

He had to come. The director of the Municipal Bureau, the captain of the criminal police brigade, a group of elite police officers, the wife of the missing entrepreneur Liu Mingyuan, Liu Mingyuan's business friends, partners, and even competitors, as well as more than a dozen of his classmates, all attended.

There is a hot pot on every table, steaming hot.

But everyone's eyes were focused on the large round table by the window.

The famous Jiang Hanwen crew came to Hong Kong to film a movie, and the content of the movie was actually the recent sensational case of the missing wealthy man.

This is not the most bizarre thing. The weirdest thing is that Jiang Hanwen's crew actually opened the set to visitors and openly invited everyone who was closely related to Liu Mingyuan to attend.

Lao Cao was worried before that most people might not show up. After all, many of them are businessmen. Who would be willing to waste their precious time watching the crew filming?

But the reality was that Lao Cao was slapped in the face.

Liu Mingyuan's relatives, friends, business partners, and other miscellaneous people number at least a hundred people. These people have all been investigated and questioned by the police. The police have records and basically know them all.

Lao Cao asked his men to stand at the door and count the heads one by one.

It was a surprising discovery that all the people related to Liu Mingyuan who had been questioned by the police were present, without exception.

No one was left out, including those sworn enemies of Liu Mingyuan who usually didn't get along with each other. They all came and booked the same window seats in advance.

"Lao Cao, this prophet is indeed a famous figure in the police world!"

Li Youfu held his big belly and squeezed himself into a chair. He couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the huge crowd of people in the room.

"He was plotting an open conspiracy. He was able to figure out the truth of the case from thousands of miles away. This is an extremely miraculous thing in itself."

"What's even more amazing is that, according to normal people's thinking, the filming must be kept secret and not a single word should leak out, and then the murderer should be caught first."

"But this prophet did the opposite and made the matter known to everyone. I don't know how he convinced Liu Mingyuan's wife."

"She spent money on publicity to decide whether Liu Mingyuan's relatives and friends would come or not. In fact, if they didn't know the content of the filming, it would be fine. At most, they could pretend not to know. But once they knew the content of the filming and still hid and didn't show up, it would be like exposing themselves, admitting that they are suspicious and guilty." "This plan sounds simple, but too few people can think of this step. This is a complete conspiracy."

"The murderer is among these diners."

Director Li turned his gaze towards the table that was also by the window.

"Old Li, how do we catch him? We don't have any evidence at all."

Lao Cao also looked at Liu Mingyuan’s table. All those who had been taken to the police station for interrogation were sitting there.

But the expressions of these people were very interesting. They all had a blank expression and stared straight at the table where the camera was set up.

"This hot pot is not easy to cook, Lao Cao, just wait and see. If these people can hold out until the end of the filming without causing any trouble, I will pay for this table myself."

Director Li retracted his gaze, stared at the meatballs rolling in the pot, and then looked at the lights outside that were gradually brightening.

I secretly sighed in my heart that extraordinary people should do extraordinary things, and only Jiang Hanwen can do such a thing.

No one else had the courage to reveal the case to anyone because the police had absolutely no valuable evidence.

You can't convict someone based on speculation alone.

What's more, he directly brought the most suspicious people here, and he was not afraid that the murderer would escape for fear of punishment.

This is not just a matter of intelligence, but also a matter of courage.

"Old Li, tell me, is Liu Mingyuan dead or alive now? I don't believe it. If the real murderer is at a table in this store and he has watched the filming of the prophet, would he still dare to ask for a ransom? He wouldn't dare to do it even if he had a hundred guts. Wouldn't it be more dangerous for the hostages?"

Lao Cao still sticks to his own inference. No matter how strong the signals from the outside world are, he still believes that there is a high probability that this case involves kidnapping and extortion.

It's just that the time has not come yet.

"do not know."

Li Youfu shook his head, habitually denying it, but then his eyelids drooped, as if he was struggling, but this struggle only lasted for a moment: "In the prophet's story, Liu Mingyuan's chance of survival is zero, otherwise he would not have used this trick."

"If the man surnamed Liu is really dead, then the saying has really come true: Killing people and setting fires will earn you a gold belt, but building bridges and roads will leave no corpse. That's unjust."

Lao Cao also sighed. He had been repeating this sentence over and over again in the past few days, and Director Li's ears were already numb from hearing it.

"Stop it, I've been a criminal police officer for so many years, I've seen all kinds of cases, murder and arson gold belt bullshit, if you say so, every prisoner in jail will make a fortune."

Director Li didn't have time to argue with Lao Cao at the moment. While the two were talking, everyone at the table looked towards Jiang Hanwen's table by the window.

A petite, well-proportioned girl with a ponytail held a clapboard and shouted "start".

Then the fill light panel is turned on.

After a brief silence, the camera on the slide began to move and finally stopped directly facing Jiang Hanwen.

The prophet's makeup today is very exquisite, with a black casual suit, a shiny slicked-back hair, and middle-aged makeup on his face. He looks like a middle-aged entrepreneur.

Then the prophet laughed out loud and said, "I'm the host of today's game!"
