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 crewforted 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 nced 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 thepany to write the news release."


    "Go ahead." Richard nodded and said.


    When Max arrived at the hospital, he saw the police caring. 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 thest 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? Why didn''t you do the examination again this morning? "


    The man said awkwardly, "I checked itst 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. s, 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 pped 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 rtionship with the crew? Did


    she have conflict with anyone? "


    "Muriel has always been obedient, but she has neverined no matter how hard it was to shoot or


    howte it was. She didn''t lose her temper and had a good rtionship 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 Inte 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


    reced 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 sessful. The bullet has beenpletely 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 isted outside. Director Quentin thought for a


    while and ordered two people to apany 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 hade 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


    wille to youter! 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 andforted, "Don''t worry. ording to what I taught


    you, they won''t find 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, sheforted herself, "It''s


    okay. Sunny, calm down. The police will never discover it. Calm down."
