The Mystery of the Inner Demon

Chapter 92 Female Star's RV
There are many people on the Internet who claim to be insiders and say all kinds of things.

"Ha, these netizens are so imaginative. Some even say that Hong Mei is a spy and has been arrested..." said Wu Shanqiu.

"You see, it's not a matter of leaking information at all, but the disappearance itself is enough to cause rumors." Hua Deping said.

Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu got on Hong Mei's RV on the crew.

Qi Fei looked at the situation in the RV. Hong Mei seemed very superstitious, and there were pendants everywhere to increase good luck.

The person who came up with them was Hong Mei's personal assistant. She was quite emotional: "The glamor of celebrities is for outsiders to see. Sister Mei knows that it is not easy for her to reach her current status. She has never relaxed for a moment. She spends 365 days a year in the RV, hotel, and on the set. She has never been home. I didn't expect..."

"It seems like you and Hong Mei have a good relationship?"

"How should I put it? There are all kinds of rumors about Sister Mei, and she has a lot of haters, but we are the only ones who see how hard it is for her. No matter how glorious she appears to be in front of others, only she knows the grievances she has suffered."

"For example?"

"People like Huang Daqiu are only dating Sister Mei because they use her as a tool for show, not because they truly love her. Sister Mei is already 30 years old, which is not considered young in the entertainment industry. In recent years, young actresses have been chasing after her, and only Sister Mei knows the pressure she is under."

"So we can only turn to believe in metaphysics?" Qi Fei picked up a copper bell with the words "Red and purple enter the hall, hurry as the command - Golden Snake Immortal" written on it.

Qi Fei looked around and saw many similar magical instruments and talismans hanging in different places in the RV.

"It seems that this Golden Snake Immortal has a close relationship with Hong Mei." Qi Fei said.

"It seems that we have met Zhong Kui's colleagues." Wu Shanqiu said from the side, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Zhong Kui for several days. Where did she go?" After saying that, she looked at Qi Fei and waited for an answer.

Qi Fei avoided his gaze guiltily: "Why are you looking at me?"

Wu Shanqiu looked like she was enjoying a good show. "Brother Fei, are you shy? I saw you weren't like that in the interrogation room that day. Oh my, I get excited just thinking about it. Are you two officially together now?"

"Stop it. Don't talk about personal matters when it comes to work." Qi Fei searched for Hong Mei's belongings more and more attentively. Suddenly, a yellow origami fell out of Hong Mei's makeup box.

Qi Fei picked it up. The six-petal shape was so familiar, but the paper had faded, and it was obvious that it was old.

"Oh, isn't this Zhong Kui's origami?" Wu Shanqiu recognized it immediately. "Zhong Kui has a somewhat uncanny aura about her. Why does something about her always come up when we talk?"

Qi Fei picked it up and looked carefully at the wrinkled paper. Suddenly, a hand as white as jade came from behind him and snatched the origami away.

When he turned around, Zhong Kui had appeared behind him without him noticing.

"This is really weird..." Wu Shanqiu murmured.

"I brought you coffee." Zhong Kui raised his other hand and found a paper bag filled with two cups of hot coffee.

Qi Fei grabbed a cup of coffee while waving the origami in his other hand. "Who asked you to get rid of this person?"

Zhong Kui yawned boredly. "If I had this brain back then, I would have made a lot of money by now. Hong Mei? I don't know this person."

"Is he Zhong Xiaoyu's patient?"

"Then I don't know. I told you, Zhong Xiaoyu and I are two completely independent people." Zhong Kui glanced at the origami and said, "Oh, the color has faded. Who knows when it happened?"

"Where are Zhong Xiaoyu's medical records?"

"I do not know."

"Hmph, it's okay, I'll go ask myself." Qi Fei said and immediately called the Baicheng Police Station. "Sorry, after Zhong Xiaoyu's accident, all of her medical records are gone." The voice on the other end of the line came clearly.

Zhong Kui had a triumphant smile on her face, as if she just liked the way Qi Fei couldn't do anything to her.

At this moment, the director's voice came from the intercom at the filming location: "Cut! Very good!"

A few staff members who were finishing their work passed by them and said, "The work has become much easier since Sister Lan took over. It's basically a one-shot job."

"Haha, didn't they hear that 'Rose Acting' was sick? It seems that's not the case. They said she was dead."

"what……"

As he was speaking, Landie came over.

Seeing Qi Fei and others in the RV, her assistant was still there clearing the area: "Excuse me, Sister Lan is taking a break, please make way."

"Isn't this car Hong Mei's?" Wu Shanqiu asked.

"Sister Lan has a lot of scenes, so there aren't any extra RVs. The producer said we should use Hong Mei's first."

It turns out that this RV will be cleaned up and given to Landie to use so soon. The fickleness of the world is magnified countless times in the entertainment industry, making it even more cruel.

Lan Die was polite: "It's okay, these are my friends."

"Sister Lan has a show this afternoon..."

As she was speaking, Lan Die noticed Zhong Kui and showed special interest in her.

Zhong Kui observed her expression and suddenly rolled his eyes, looking fed up: "Looks like I've run into an old acquaintance again."

"Are you a policeman too? You look familiar..." Lan Die stepped forward and asked.

"I don't know you." Zhong Kui refused decisively.

Lan Die was puzzled for a moment, but didn't argue any further. She said that she might have recognized the wrong person and got on the RV as a matter of course. When she saw the origami in Qi Fei's hand, she immediately said, "This is mine. How come it's here with you?"

"How did your things get into Hong Mei's makeup bag?" Qi Fei looked at Lan Die with some suspicion.

"This is my makeup bag."

"Put it in Hong Mei's RV?"

"The crew arranged for me to live here. I just followed their instructions and put some of my things there."

"What about these things? They are not yours either?" Qi Fei pointed at the various magical weapons of the so-called Golden Snake Immortal.

Lan Die flatly denied it, saying that these things belonged to Hong Mei, and she did not move them only out of respect for the deceased. However, when she said this, a look of panic appeared on Lan Die's dignified face. She said that she was actually not comfortable sleeping in the RV. She always felt that there was someone around her. Last night she even dreamed of a woman covered in blood, wearing ancient clothes, appearing in front of her. She thought she was too nervous about filming recently.

She spoke with the mannerisms of an actor, making the scenes she described more immersive for others to hear.

Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu looked at each other in surprise. This description was exactly the same as what they heard the cleaning lady saw in the Yunshen Secret Realm.
