The Infernal Affairs of Hong Kong

Chapter 248 Robbery in the Entertainment Industry (Please subscribe, 6000 words)
There is indeed a vacancy in Zhou Yu's group.

Lu Qichang may have taken a fancy to this, so he wanted to simply hand Luo Ji to him and arrange for him to bring him.

Whether intentionally or not, since Lu Qichang opened his mouth, Zhou Yu agreed.

Luo Ji, he must have the ability, otherwise Ni Yongxiao would not have stayed by his side as a bodyguard for 7 years.

But Zhou Yu didn't say that he would arrange Luo Ji in his own team, there is room for manipulation in this matter.

It's true that Luo Ji is a capable person, but it's not suitable for the team he is currently leading.

Now Zhou Yu is still an inspector, and when he is promoted to a senior inspector, he will directly increase the power to direct the operation team to perform tasks.

Zhou Yu's idea is to let Luo Ji go to the action team next door to play forward, to find out the bottom line, who knows if the action team will not do a clean job?

Clean is the best, if it is not clean, Luo Ji is the catfish he put in, stirring up the miscellaneous fish inside, so as to save him any troubles when the time comes.

So in the end Zhou Yu raised his mouth, and Lu Qichang thought about it and agreed.

O note the office.

Shen Xiong flicked the folder with his hand, and he was surprised: "Look, the report just handed in, there was a car accident on Airport Road last night, and Han Chen's wife died on the spot."

"Huh, isn't Han Chen's wife that Mary? She also had a car accident?" Ling Xinyi stood up from her seat in surprise, walked to Shen Xiong and took a look at the file.

"What is it called?" Ma Yingying raised her head and asked.

Ling Xinyi first read it quickly, then frowned slightly and said in contemplation: "I remember, I asked me two days ago if there was any fight in the Ni family recently. At that time, a car accident was discovered. The deceased It's Han Chen's younger brother, and it turned out to be Han Chen's wife again today, so isn't Ni Yongxiao the one who did it?"

"Otherwise? If it were you, you would not let go of killing your father and enemy." Shen Xiong squinted at him.

"Bah, crow's mouth, my dad is fine." Ling Xinyi curled her lips and hummed.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Yu walked in. He had just attended a routine meeting hosted by Sir Ye.

"Boss, we are talking about Han Chen's wife, do you know about her death?" Shen Xiong asked with a smile.

"Isn't it a matter of time?" Zhou Yu said calmly.

That's right, Mary offended Ni Yongxiao, there is no good fruit to eat.

"The head is the head, the waves are calm." Shen Xiong nodded, flattering him.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Well, since she's dead, Shen Xiong, you take Jianming out of the scene, go to her house, and find out if there are any clues."

"Okay." Liu Jianming responded immediately.

"No need, it's obvious that Ni Yongxiao did it, and it's useless to go there. There is no evidence for this kind of thing." Shen Xiong frowns, this trip to the airport, to Mary's house, back and forth is enough.

"Who asked you to check this?" Zhou Yu looked at him like an idiot and shook his head.

"Brother Xiong, don't keep worrying about being lazy, she is dead, but will she bring anything to the airport, will she have any clues at home?"

"In the past, you had to apply for a search warrant to investigate, but now you can go in with a legitimate name. Maybe you will find some key evidence of Han Chen's crime?"

Shen Xiong shook his head and nodded: "That makes sense, I'll set off right away, that Jianming, what are you dawdling about? Every day you know that you are lazy and waste your time, hurry up."

Liu Jianming blinked innocently: "."

"Head, then let's go first." Shen Xiong greeted with a smile.

Liu Jianming also nodded to indicate to follow out the door and gave Zhou Yu a veiled look.

He had already guessed the meaning of Zhou Yu's sending him. It should be that Zhou Yu was worried that there would be some unfavorable evidence in Han Chen's family and asked him to destroy it.

It's just that he has already been there, which Zhou Yu doesn't know.

If you say yes, you definitely can't say it, so let's pretend to run again, and check it carefully.

Zhou Yu didn't care what they thought, he didn't have any hope of repaying at all, this trip was just for others to see, as for appearance, he had to do it properly.

Get down to business first.

He handed the file in his hand to Ma Yingying: "Madam, you should take a look at this case first, the client is a celebrity, you and Xinyi will come with me later."

"What case?" Ma Guoying asked while watching it, and said in surprise, "Zhang Guorong?"

"Zhang Guorong!" Ling Xinyi exclaimed, and when she heard that Zhou Yu had also ordered her, she immediately came forward, and with this name, she had to squeeze in to see if she didn't order her.

"It is suspected that young and Dangerous boys controlled by the association started the robbery?" Ma Yingying understood why this case had reached O's attention.

Zhou Yu nodded: "Actually, it's not just this one person. Recently, O Ji has received many reports from artists, claiming that the underworld threatened them and asked them to join their performing arts company to help film. If the artist refused, they would threaten the artist's safety. It’s more special like this, grab the negatives.”

"I've heard about this. Wow, big-name celebrities are still being threatened. It seems that there have been rumors that they were stripped naked and photographed at three o'clock. It seems that those who just paid for them to film are considered good deeds." Ling Xinyi nodded her head vigorously. She loves to follow the entertainment industry the most, and she knows a little bit about the gossip in the entertainment industry.

Zhou Yu smiled at her appearance, and then said seriously: "Well, the superiors attach great importance to this matter. The underworld dares to threaten artists and actors so unscrupulously. This is related to the turmoil of the current situation, and it is driven by money interests. Regardless of their causes, we must resolutely crack down on this unhealthy trend."

"Yes, sir." Ma Yingying and Lin Xinyi stepped up and agreed.

What Zhou Yu said was cryptic, but Ye sir was much more straightforward when talking to him.

It's almost 97, and those ghosts don't care about things at all, the chaos below is chaos, and it's a day to day waiting for the handover.

Just wanting to leave a mess, what kind of thoughts he has, can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

In Xiangjiang, the people in the showbiz circle, despite their low social status, have a huge influence, and their every move is very concerned by the citizens.

If their safety cannot be guaranteed, how can the citizens still have confidence in the police force?

Therefore, Sir Ye specifically emphasized to Zhou Yu: "No matter what those ghosts think or do, they are still pressing on our heads now. We have no choice but to do our own thing. We must resolutely fight against this phenomenon. !"

Of course Zhou Yu understands this truth, and when it comes to these aspects, I'm afraid Ye sir doesn't know as much as he does.

Zhou Yu looked at his watch and said to them: "Okay, let's go first. I have made an appointment with the informant. We are about to go there now. The specific situation will be clear when we get there and listen to him."

Downstairs, Zhou Yu's trio were on their way to Zhang Guorong's house, and Ma Guoying was driving.

"You guys are chatting endlessly." Zhou Yu rolled his eyes at the two women in the car, turned his head to look outside the car, and didn't want to hear it anymore, his ears could hear cocoons along the way, and the two women started chatting Endless.

Ling Xinyi shook her head and grinned: "I don't want to talk to others, maybe someday a scandal will be exposed, but he is different. Zhang Guorong has been well-received since his debut, and he is not only talented, He is also very willing to support the younger generation, many artists have received his help."

"I like him not only because of this reason. There are many talented people, but this person is different. As a first-line star, he has never put on airs, works hard, and has been working hard to improve himself. I think it is very important. Inspiring effect." Ma Yingying had a faint smile on her face.

Ling Xinyi nodded approvingly: "That's not all, I heard that he will help actors who are unfamiliar with acting, tell jokes to make colleagues who are in a bad mood happy, arrange doctors for sick staff, and find jobs for poor actors who are struggling. Do, he is simply a warm-hearted big brother."

"Hey, is this the source of his brother's name?" Ma Guoying asked with a smile, she only paid a little attention to the entertainment industry, and she definitely didn't know as much as Ling Xinyi.

"No. Isn't that because of the filming of "A Chinese Ghost Story", Xiaoqian called Ning Caichen her brother, brother, so that's how she called it, oops, I forgot to bring the photo!" Ling Xinyi patted her thigh annoyed .

"Huh~" Ma Yingying smiled clearly: "Will he still lack photos at home?"

"That's right." Ling Xinyi nodded, and quickly shook her head again: "No, at most he can give me one photo of himself, so if I bring a few more, wouldn't it be possible to get more autographed photos? Thanks It’s a loss.”

After Ling Xinyi finished speaking, she patted her thigh angrily.

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly: "Hey, let's go to work. He just experienced robbery. Be honest and don't be a nympho."

"Don't, Sir Zhou, that's Zhang Guorong, can I ask him for an autographed photo later?" Ling Xinyi begged with a long face.

"Get things done first, and we'll talk about the rest depending on the situation." Zhou Yu said lightly, not agreeing to her.

Soon, the car drove downstairs to Zhang Guorong's house. Zhou Yu called him first, and then the three of them walked up.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yu, Inspector of O Records." Zhou Yu smiled and said to the man who opened the door.

"Hi, my name is Ling Xinyi."

"Hi, my name is Ma Yingying."

Zhou Yu cast a glance at the two of them. I have never seen them declare themselves like this. Women, even madams are not exempt.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Guorong." Zhang Guorong smiled back and moved away: "Come in and say."

"I heard that Mr. Zhang is a very dedicated actor, as expected."

Zhou Yu walked into the living room and looked at the scripts and books all over the floor. There were some draft papers and an open script scattered on the table.

He glanced at the draft paper on the table, it was about personality, and he could probably guess that Zhang Guorong should be writing some biographies just now.

"I made you laugh, the ground is a bit messy." Zhang Guorong smiled embarrassedly.

Zhou Yu said indifferently: "It's okay, your family, you have absolute autonomy."

Zhang Guorong tidied up the things next to the sofa, and finally had a place to sit: "Sit down first, I'll get you water."

Zhou Yu waved his hand and rejected his proposal: "Don't bother, let's talk about the matter directly, please explain the process of the crime."

Zhang Guorong nodded, sat down on the chair next to him, and began to tell the story.

It happened two days ago, not long after they finished filming the new movie, the negatives of the movie were sent to the studio where the movie was edited.

Then he got a call from the studio while he was sleeping at home.

It is said that a group of masked robbers broke into the studio with weapons in hand and stole some of the film negatives of "A Happy Family" under threat.

He immediately rushed over with the director, and the scene was already a mess when he arrived.

"So now the film has been taken away, so you can't release it?" Zhou Yu asked.

"That's not true." Zhang Guorong smiled: "The robbers are a bit stupid."

"How do you say that?" Zhou Yu was a little curious.

Zhang Guorong began to describe the scene he heard vividly.

"At that time, there were still some people on the set, but everyone was afraid of gangsters, but in fact, the robbers and gangsters who broke into the set were more nervous than the people present. They first asked the editor where the film was. The editors were already frightened, they didn’t get a reply and sent two people to search for negatives by themselves.”

"In the end, they took two sealed iron boxes from the warehouse. They thought they were the film negatives of "A Happy Affair", but they ignored the real negatives that were pressed by an actor."

Zhou Yu was taken aback: "It means that the real film was not taken away, so what's in the box they took away?"

"What they took away was only some of the highlights of our filming." Zhang Guorong shrugged and looked at him.

Zhou Yu laughed out loud when he heard that, the interlacing is like a mountain, these bad guys, they can eat whatever they want, and they can’t do whatever they want, they are stupid No. 1.

The two women next to her were also giggling, which was too ridiculous.

"Tidaloo, that shouldn't be too important, right?" Zhou Yu asked.

He doesn't know much about movies, but he guessed that the extras should not affect the normal broadcast.

Zhang Guorong shook his head: "It's very important to say that it is important. There are some tidbits that we want to use as easter eggs at the end of the movie. Now they are gone, which affects our normal release. It doesn't matter. The actors are still there. Some tidbits, we will always It can be re-shot."

Zhou Yu understood.

"However. Mr. Zhang, why did you report the case? Shouldn't the studio report this matter?" Zhou Yu asked strangely.

Zhang Guorong nodded: "Yes, it is reasonable to ask them to report the crime. After all, they were the ones who were robbed. I was just a leading actor, but they said that since there is no big loss, then forget it. Find a studio to capture the highlights of the robbery. Re-shoot, don’t offend those gangsters, lest they come to revenge, they have guns.”

Zhou Yu pouted: "Yes, most people think this way when they encounter such a thing, so what about you, why did you report the case again?"

"I think this is wrong. Although there is no loss this time, what about the next time? If he doesn't say anything, I won't say anything. It will only fuel the arrogance of those people. Sooner or later, the loss will still fall on us " Zhang Guorong said very seriously.

This is a sensible person, Zhou Yu nodded approvingly.

Many people hold things high that are temporarily irrelevant to them, unwilling to take care of them, but when they face these things themselves one day, other people's attitudes will be as high as they are today.

This is a vicious circle.

Zhou Yude expressed his praise: "Mr. Zhang, I think you are doing the right thing. You are a courageous person."

Zhang Guorong smiled and said: "Don't praise me so much, they have guns, and I'm afraid of death, but I don't think things should be like this."

"So Mr. Zhang, do you know who will come to snatch your negatives?" Zhou Yu asked Zhang Guorong a key question.

Zhang Guorong shook his head lightly, "I don't know. In fact, this is not the first time in the industry. Usually when they rob the site, they will contact the producers of the studio afterwards and ask them for a large amount." A ransom, otherwise they claim to destroy the negatives."

Zhou Yu nodded involuntarily. This was consistent with the information the police knew. It was interesting for him to think about it.

"Kidnapping, extortion, it sounds like this is also a new way of kidnapping. It just replaces people with objects, and the objects are dead objects, which are safer and less likely to attract the attention of the police. The method is good, so that gangs can The fisherman gets a lot of money without investing a penny, and the person who came up with this kidnapping variant in the first place is considered a genius.”

Knowing the cause, it's just that this matter is not easy to handle, Zhou Yu frowned and thought.

According to Zhang Guorong's statement, it seems that the same gang was involved in the robbery, but there is no evidence to prove that the same gang was involved in several incidents.

After one shot, the man ran away, where to find someone.

Unless you wait until the next robbery, you don't know who the target of the next robbery will be.

This can't afford to wait.

There is no clue at all, unless the other party will call for a ransom.

Hmm. That's a way. After all, the idiot on the other side probably doesn't know what's in it.

If you want money, you need to trade, and if you want to trade, you can arrest people.

"Have they called?"

"not yet."

There is a play, Zhou Yu relaxes a little, since it is a kidnapping, then there will definitely be a ransom, so just wait.

"Then we will send someone to the studio to have a look. I probably know the current situation. Do you have any other news to provide?"

"Should be gone."

"Okay, I'll let you know if I have news, and you can call me if you think of anything."

"Thank you."

"Sure, let's go first." Zhou Yu stood up and bid farewell.

"Okay." Zhang Guorong also stood up and prepared to give it away.

Zhou Yu nodded and went straight out.

When her hair broke, Ling Xinyi reluctantly moved slowly, moved, moved.

"Why, are your feet uncomfortable?" Zhang Guorong saw Ling Xinyi's strange walking posture and asked with concern.

"No, I don't." After the idol spoke, Ling Xinyi shook her head excitedly, letting him see this embarrassing look, her face turned red, and she felt a little stupid.

Zhou Yu heard the conversation between the two and looked back, where is the turtle walking?
He's already at the door, how far has Ling Xinyi moved from where she was just now, 30 centimeters?Or 50 cm?

Zhou Yu smiled angrily, sighed, and said to Zhang Guorong: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, the two of them are your fans. Would it be convenient for you to sign for them?"

"Okay, small things." Zhang Guorong took it for granted, smiled gently, picked up a pen from the table and asked, "Where to sign?"

"Sign, sign, sign" Ling Xinyi was excited, and touched her pocket nervously, remembering that she was annoyed by not bringing a photo, and she couldn't say anything about it.

"I have a photo here, do you want it?" Zhang Guorong saw her embarrassment and offered to mention it.

"Yes!" Ling Xinyi nodded heavily.

Zhang Guorong took out a few photos from the drawer and handed them over: "Hey."

"thanks, thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Can I go, Miss?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Yes." Ling Xinyi got the things and jumped up happily. He glanced at Zhou Yu, his hair is so good, so handsome.

"Let's go, see you again, Mr. Zhang."

"Goodbye."

on the way back.

"What do you think of this case?" Zhou Yu leaned on the car door and asked a question.

"I don't understand one thing. Why do these people target Zhang Guorong? It stands to reason that he is famous enough, and it is very risky to steal his negatives." Pass.

"I know this question, because they are not afraid of revenge." Ling Xinyi raised her hand to answer.

"Oh, tell me, why are they not afraid of revenge?" Zhou Yu looked at her curiously.

Ling Xinyi smiled, "It's very simple. The purpose of robbing Zhang Guorong's film is for money, and stealing Zhang Guorong's film is to extort more money, but there are many people who are also first-line stars. Why did they choose Zhang Guorong? Hehe, I don't know." , because the director this time is a newcomer, and a newcomer has no background, you know."

Tsk tsk, Zhou Yu wants to look at her differently. He pays attention to gossip and pays attention to his experience. His analysis is clear and logical, and he really doesn't have a waste hobby. He just sees where it is used.

What Ling Xinyi said sounds very reasonable.

A first-line actor, coupled with a first-line director, who would dare to snatch a film made by such a person.

As far as the current market is concerned, which front-line director is not backed by capital, and how can there be no underworld participation behind the capital.

The underworld and the underworld also have to give each other face, and generally they don't take food from the tiger's mouth.

Grabbing such a person's film, isn't that boring and crooked, it will only cause a fire between the clubs, and Zhang Guorong's director this time is a weak newcomer, otherwise he really wouldn't be targeted.

There was a happy event at home, and Zhou Yu had heard about it, and had seen it in the newspapers. Just the news that came out of the filming caused a lot of discussion in the city, and the citizens were all waiting for its release.

Not a bad goal indeed.

Back in the office, Zhou Yu assigned a task to collect as much as possible the latest clues about actors being threatened by the underworld.

Sharpening a knife is not the same as chopping wood by mistake, and you can't just expect a call from the studio.

"Xinyi, bring me the report from three months ago."

"Ow."

Zhou Yu didn't go anywhere, just sat in the case analysis room of the office, where the clues were gathered one by one, and he just read them one by one.

Judging from the clues we have so far, the general rule is similar to what Ling Xinyi said. After studying their methods and goals of robbing negatives, they generally don't rob famous directors' films.

But these clues made it impossible to lead him to find the real perpetrator.

When describing the appearance of a robber, it means not knowing, or covering his face. How can we find out?
