The Great Showbiz Commando
Chapter 43 Investigation

"No, Muriel did this to save me. If it weren't for me, if it weren't for me..." Lindy cried out with guilt.

"Lindy, don't cry. It's not your fault." The crew comforted her.

The producer looked at Richard cautiously and suggested, "Mr. Xu, let's deal with the rest. You can rest assured to deal with other things."

Ignoring the producer, Richard looked up at Victor and asked, "Show me the schedule of the next two days."

Victor took out the iPad and handed it to Richard. Richard glanced at it and said, "Cancel all the meetings and banquets."

"Yes, sir." Victor recorded it on the iPad.

No one expected that Richard would cancel his busy work for an actress. They were shocked and dared not speak.

The reporter's phone rang. It turned out that his colleague had also arrived at the hospital. He told his colleague where he was.

"Mr. Xu, my colleague will be responsible for the following things." He shook the phone in his hand and said, "I'll go back to the company to write the news release."

"Go ahead." Richard nodded and said.

When Max arrived at the hospital, he saw the police car coming. His heart jolted and he stopped.

Thinking of Sunny's threat, he gritted his teeth and went in.

The police rushed to the hospital as soon as they received the report. After they asked about the general process, they asked, "Did you check the guns and props for the last time?"

The man in charge of the stage props nodded and said, "I didn't go to bed until I finished the inspection last night."

"Last night? Why didn't you do the examination again this morning?

"

The man said awkwardly, "I checked it last night and there was no problem, so I didn't check it this morning."

"Have you always been like this? Is this your habit?"

The man scratched his head and said, "Sort of. Alas, maybe I'm too conceited. I thought it was very safe without any problem. If I checked it again this morning and found that the props were tampered, this would not have happened.

"Damn it!" The man was so angry with himself that he slapped his face.

Director Quentin was so angry that he poked the man's chest with his finger. "What can I say about you?"

"If the murderer knows you have such a habit, the person may be an acquaintance." The policeman said while taking notes on the paper.

"Acquaintance? Is it from our crew?" The man was shocked.

"It's highly possible, but it's not enough before there is solid evidence." The policeman continued to ask, "Who finally touched the pistol and the wire?"

"The pistol should be distributed by Chen. The wire should be tied by Max." The man recalled the scene and said.

The policeman looked at Director Quentin and asked, "How's Muriel's relationship with the crew? Did she have conflict with anyone?"

"Muriel has always been obedient, but she has never complained no matter how hard it was to shoot or how late it was. She didn't lose her temper and had a good relationship with the crew. If there is a conflict, there should be no one else except Sunny.

"Sunny? The one who faked falling?" The police thought of the matter that had been widely discussed on the Internet some time ago.

Director Quentin nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. But I don't know why Sunny framed Muriel on purpose at that time. You have to ask director Hudson."

Richard, who had been looking at the door of the emergency room, said, "As far as I know, the reason why Sunny framed Muriel is because of a joke from Director Quentin."

"What are you talking about?" Everyone looked at Richard in surprise.

"At that time, director Hudson joked on the set that the substitute was more beautiful than the main actor. This sentence made Sunny hold a grudge against Muriel. She was afraid that she would really be replaced by Muriel, so she came up with the idea of pretending to fall to frame Muriel. "

These people were not in the Love of Ghosts and Goblins crew, so they didn't know it. Now hearing what Richard said, they were stunned.

The policeman looked at Richard in confusion, "How did you know this?"

"I met director Hudson at the banquet by chance. At that time, I had intended to enter the entertainment circle, and this matter was a big one. I asked a few questions casually, and director Hudson told me about it."

The policeman nodded and kept writing on the notebook, "Okay, we have a general understanding of the matter. Next, we will ask Hudson and Sunny to take notes respectively, and the colleagues of the trace inspection department will also go to the film set to carry out the trace inspection. At that time, we need your cooperation. "

"Okay."

Bang, the door of the emergency room was pushed open. Richard hurried forward and asked, "Doctor, how is Muriel?"

"The operation was very successful. The bullet has been completely taken out. However, due to excessive blood loss, though the injured are temporarily out of danger, she..." The doctor looked at the people present hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Richard asked anxiously.

The doctor swallowed and shook his head. "Nothing. The injured need to rest quietly. You don't have to stay here all the time."

"Okay, thank you." Director Quentin said to the doctor gratefully.

The nurses pushed the bed into the ICU, and they were isolated outside. Director Quentin thought for a while and ordered two people to accompany Catherine and Lydia to stay here to take care of Muriel. Richard shook his head and said, "No, thanks. Victor and I will stay here. You can do whatever you want."

Looking at Richard's strong attitude, it was hard for everyone to refuse him. As the CEO of XR Group, it was a waste of talent to take care of a patient! Many people thought so.

Seeing that Muriel had come out of the operating room, the police put away their records and said to everyone, "Then we are leaving now."

"Okay."

Max, who had been hiding in the corner and eavesdropping, immediately went downstairs and hailed a taxi back to the film set.

He texted Sunny in the taxi, "Muriel is still alive. Director Quentin called the police. Maybe some police will come to you later! Sunny, what should I do?"

Seeing the two word "police", Sunny felt a little guilty. She tried her best to calm down and asked, "Is the matter exposed? Did you screw it up?"

"No, no, No. the police are investigating if Muriel has any conflict with anyone. They all mentioned your name, so they want to confirm with you." Sunny angrily threw the pillow to the ground and comforted, "Don't worry. According to what I taught you, they won't replace out anything."

Max took a deep breath and looked out of the window at the street passing by. His heart beat faster and faster.

Biting her fingernails, Sunny paced restlessly in the room. While walking, she comforted herself, "It's okay. Sunny, calm down. The police will never discover it. Calm down."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
