Chapter 422: Let’s Discuss it First
After watching Jiang Zhihan and Wei Zhengrong leave, Wei Zhengrong returned to the place where the staff gathered.
“Director Wei?” The assistant’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
“All!” Wei Zhengrong immediately replied, “1 was just wondering if Song Qingyou could find the nametag. 1 wasn’t thinking about anything else!”
His words sounded like he was saying that there was no silver here.
The assistant became even more suspicious. “1 didn’t ask what you were thinking. Why are you reacting so strongly, Director Wei? Did you do something wrong?”
Wei Zhengrong raised his hand guiltily and slapped the back of his assistant’s head. “What are you talking about? How can 1 do anything wrong?”
“You, on the other hand, have you found anything good yet? If she really can’t find it, get Xiao Li to remind her so that she doesn’t waste time.”
It was the last day of the show, so they definitely couldn’t film until late at night.
Because Gu Xingchen still had other jobs to attend to, the recording of the program was almost over, so he could not miss out on his scenes.
“Then 1-”
The assistant was about to ask Xiao Li to give him a hint when Xiao Li’s voice came from the earpiece.
“Sister Song, you’ve been walking around here for half a day. Do you want to go somewhere else to take a look?”
The assistant cleverly picked up the other earpiece and gave it to Wei Zhengrong.
The two of them listened to the movements in the library.
Song Qingyou’s gaze swept across the bookshelves in the middle. “1 think the name tag must be hidden in the library.”
“But Sister Song, you’ve been wandering around for a long time, but you haven’t seen anything of note…”
Xiao Li was the cameraman, and the production team was afraid that he would leak the news, so they didn’t tell him where the nametag was. That was why he advised Song Qingyou to walk around.
Song Qingyou waved her hand, obviously not listening to his words. Instead, she squatted down, as if she was carefully checking if there was anything wrong.
Xiao Li followed behind and subconsciously lowered his voice.
“Did Sister Song discover something?”
He craned his neck to take a look, but he couldn’t see anything!
The assistant who was staring at the screen was a little hesitant.
Wei Zhengrong clicked his tongue. “She found it again! Cut to the screen and look at the others!”
“Oh.” The assistant responded.
In the library, facing Xiao Li’s question, Song Qingyou nodded.
Glancing at the camera that Xiao Li was carrying, she answered, “It’s been a while since anyone came to the library. There’s a thin layer of dust on every bookshelf.”
“When we came here before, the focus was on the last row of bookshelves, so I’m not sure if the last row of bookshelves has been touched.”
“As for this place-”
She pointed at the bookshelf in front of her, the third row from the bottom.
“The books here have traces of being pulled out, and there’s obviously something stuck in them.”
The name tag was not a thin piece of paper. It would definitely be very obvious if it was sandwiched in a book.
Of course, there were too many books in the library. It was just that there was an extra gap in the book, so it was still difficult for others to find it.
Song Qingyou explained as she went to get the book.
As expected, the moment the book was pulled out, the name tag with black words on a white background fell out from the crack.
Not long after, Gu Xingchen and the others also received name tags with their names on them.
The name tags were pasted on their backs by the staff. As the director said, “There are only three hours left until the truth is announced,” a battle to tear the name tags began.
Song Qingyou wasn’t in a hurry to go to the broadcast room, nor was she in a hurry to chase and intercept them on the way to the broadcast room. Instead, she secretly walked towards the club activity room.
To be precise, it was the classroom next to the activity room.
Zhao Yingnan didn’t want to stay in the scary teaching building for a long time, and she was very clear that her physical strength was definitely not good. Once she met other people, even if she directly lay on the ground, she might not be able to protect the name tag on her back.
Therefore, she decided to find a place to hide first.
Who knew that as soon as she came out of the teaching building, she would meet Xu Xingzhou.
Zhao Yingnan immediately stepped back, and her whole body was stuck to the wall.
“Don’t come over! Don’t come over!”
He looked extremely afraid.
Xu Xingzhou raised his hands.” 1 never thought of tearing your name tag.”
“Although I think the probability of you being the murderer is actually quite high, I’m not the murderer. 1 won’t do anything unless I’m sure.”
“Really?”
Zhao Yingnan was not sure.
“If you don’t plan to make a move, then leave this place quickly! Also, I’m not the murderer. Definitely not.”
“What evidence do you have?” Xu Xingzhou asked.
“Evidence? What evidence do 1 have?” Zhao Yingnan looked anxious. “Anyway, stay away from me! Don’t come near me!”
Seeing that she had made up her mind to stick to the wall and that they were close to the flag-raising platform, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not be seen by others. Xu Xingzhou took a few steps back and said,
“If you don’t believe me, then forget it. I’ll go to other places to take a look first.”
After saying that, he turned around and left. Not only did he leave very quickly, but he also seemed to be afraid of being followed by Zhao Yingnan. He fled quickly.
Zhao Yingnan blinked. “It seems that Xu Xingzhou is not the murderer.”
Even so, she had no intention of catching up to him.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yingnan decided to hide in the club activity room first.
Those murder cases and missing persons cases still needed to be sorted out from beginning to end.
Now that she had a destination, she stopped wandering around.
Unfortunately, no matter how careful she was, she still met someone along the way.
When Tang Zinian saw Zhao Yingnan coming towards him, he didn’t even greet her. He rushed forward and wanted to tear the name tag.
At the moment of crisis, Zhao Yingnan’s reaction speed was extremely fast. She almost ran away.
“Sister Yingnan, don’t run!”
Tang Zinian shouted as he chased after the person in front of him.
The two of them ran around the teaching building like cats catching mice.
Zhao Yingnan’s physical strength was limited, and her speed slowed down quickly.
“You, don’t do anything.”
Panting, she said, “I’m not the murderer, yet you insisted on tearing my name tag. Are you the murderer?”
“I’m not.” Tang Zinian pressed on, “But Sister Yingnan, as long as the others are eliminated, won’t I win? Who cares about the murderer? Don’t you agree?”
“But, but what if the murderer is very powerful? For example, Qingyou.”
Tang Zinian seemed to be stumped by the question and stopped.
Zhao Yingnan took a deep breath and decided to continue talking.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, Tang Zinian rushed over and grabbed the name tag on her back.
“Then sneak attack! If we encounter someone powerful, we will naturally choose to launch a sneak attack!”
Zhao Yingnan immediately grabbed his clothes and refused to let go.
“Wait, let’s discuss this first, how about it?”
“The segment of tearing apart the name tag has just begun. If you eliminate me just like that, 1 won’t even have a shot in the future…”
Zhao Yingnan was an actress after all. Her pitiful appearance at this time really made Tang Zinian hesitate.
“Maybe the production team will lock me up in a small dark room. Lil Tang, you’re such a good person.. Can you really bear to let me be locked up in a small dark room for so long?”
