Chapter 4 Murder
Cheng Baisheng's voice suddenly rose: "Cheng Ling, you'd better stop making trouble!"
Father Cheng patted Cheng Baisheng on the shoulder with a calm expression, "Don't scare her.
"But..." Cheng Baisheng frowned.
Father Cheng said calmly: "Xiao Ling must have lost his memory."
Cheng Baisheng shouted: "Dad! Can you please stop playing around with her?"
Cheng's father explained: "I don't have time to play around. Think about it, did her behavior just now look like she was pretending?"
Ah, it's true.
When Cheng Baisheng heard this, he let go of his hand.
If her acting skills were really so perfect, it would not mean that the Cheng family had spent so much money and still couldn't be popular.
Also - Cheng Baisheng rubbed his scalp - he felt that his scalp was still burning and painful. For a moment, he thought his scalp was going to be ripped off...
Cheng Ling was a little shocked.
Should I be shocked by the brains of the father and son, or should I be shocked by the acting skills of the original actor?
The three of them looked at each other with big eyes.
Cheng Ling cleared her throat, adjusted her sitting position on the hospital bed slightly uncomfortably, and first apologized to Cheng Baisheng, who was rubbing the top of his head: "I'm sorry, I just... was a little too forceful."
Hair is a precious asset for men of this age. Cheng Baisheng was a little worried, but he still put down the hand rubbing his hair and pretended not to care and said: "It's okay, it's okay. More than three generations of our family have thick hair. Xiaoling , you said you lost your memory...then what do you remember?"
Cheng Ling bit her lip. She was good at deceiving bad people, but she couldn't deceive people who really cared about her... Tsk.
"I... don't remember anything. Even my life background and name, I forgot everything." A trace of uneasiness flashed in Cheng Ling's eyes.
Fear of the unknown.
Her professional habit is to master all the information as much as possible to make herself invincible.
Now this feeling of her eyes going dark really made her very panicked.
Cheng's father did not ignore Cheng Ling's flash of confusion. He bent down to pick up the pillow, put it on Cheng Ling's back, and said, "Bai Sheng, tell your sister about her situation."
Cheng Ling lowered his eyelids.
The original owner's father was a very perceptive person. she thinks.
Cheng Baisheng said "Ah" and dragged a stool over.
The original owner Cheng Soul passed through has the same name as himself. He is 21 years old and is currently studying in the acting department of a film school. He is also an 18th-tier actor who has been in the industry for a year and a half.
There are three siblings in the Cheng family. Cheng Baisheng is 8 years older than Cheng Ling and is currently unmarried. Cheng Ling also has a younger sister named Cheng Mianhu, who is 17 years old and a sophomore in high school.
Currently living in Maple City.
Cheng Ling frowned.
Maple City?
The doctor and nurse just came to check the ward, and she saw the information on the nameplate on the doctor's chest was [Hai Central Hospital].
Cheng Baisheng looked at Cheng Ling's frown and thought she was uncomfortable somewhere, so he quickly asked: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Cheng Ling shook his head, "No. Please continue."
But Cheng Baisheng didn't know what to say. Looking at my sister on the bed, she behaves and speaks as if she is a different person. It is very strange to have to make such an introduction.
Seeing Cheng Baisheng's lag, Cheng Ling provided him with ideas, which was information she was eager to know.
"What does our family do for a living?"
Cheng Ling has long noticed that the shirts and suits of Father Cheng and Brother Cheng are of excellent quality, well-cut, and have no logos. You can tell at a glance that they are hand-made and expensive.
At the end of the tie around Father Cheng's neck, there is a tie clip - a hummingbird with sapphire eyes, which is Italy's top jewelry brand.
Just this tie clip is definitely not something that ordinary working-class people can afford.
"Our family..." Cheng Baisheng cleared his throat, glanced at his father, and then said, "Our grandfather is in the tire business, and my grandfather is selling dried seafood. Now our family's business mainly provides scientific and technological talent services and aquatic products." The food, catering industry, automobile industry, and real estate industry are all covered.”
Cheng Ling raised his eyebrows.
From such a business family, shouldn't I study management and enter the family business as soon as possible?
Why do you want to join the entertainment industry?
"Don't look at me like that, it's not that I don't want you to join our company," Mr. Cheng said. He knew what the little girl across from him was thinking at a glance. "A family of young and old is kneeling down to beg you to come to our company. You won't come. You insist." Why don't you go into the entertainment industry and say that you can't live up to the beauty your parents gave you, and you want the whole world to appreciate your beautiful face, otherwise it will be a waste of money. It's a pity that you have been in the industry for so long, and there is no role worth mentioning. No...by the way, you also said that there are many handsome guys in the entertainment industry, so it is convenient for you to pick up men. "
Cheng Ling:......
This reason was something she never expected.
The original owner was a nymphomaniac and had incurred many peach blossom debts... Cheng Ling had a headache.
The family is okay, but if she has a boyfriend, how should she deal with it?
Cheng Ling tried hard not to sound so harsh and asked, "Then who is my current boyfriend?"
"Ha!" Cheng's father sneered and revealed the truth mercilessly, "Where's your boyfriend? You've been in the industry for so long, and your record is zero! You're not good at acting, and you're not good at being a good person. I like you. , you don’t care about it; people don’t care about you if you like it.”
Father Cheng complained crazily.
It seems that these words have been held in the stomach for a long time.
"Our family is quite rich, right? No one cares about my identity and background?" Cheng Ling said bluntly.
Cheng's father sat back in his chair, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and said sarcastically: "Hey! You are quite self-aware. No one knows your identity. When you entered the circle, we made a three-part agreement. You cannot rely on us, the Cheng family. Miss’s identity…except for your agent and company boss, not many people in the circle know your identity.”
Cheng Ling digested it for a while.
I felt that I had a general understanding of the current situation, and then I asked the core question: "Since I live in Maple City and study in Maple City, how did I end up drowning in Haishi?"
This time, Father Cheng and Brother Cheng looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.
Cheng Ling was keenly aware of the abnormality.
She sat upright.
"What? What's wrong with me drowning?"
Father Cheng lowered his crossed legs and leaned forward with a solemn expression.
"There is a problem. You may have forgotten that swimming can be regarded as the only bright spot in your barren life. You have followed your grandfather to play in the waves on the beach since you were a child, and you are particularly good at water."
"A few days ago, you said you wanted to come to Haishi. When I asked who you were going with, you said you were alone. Your mother was worried, so she flew over with you. As a result, this morning, you took advantage of your mother to visit the duty-free shop. While I was trying on clothes in the store, I sneaked to Zinman’s beach house.”
Cheng Ling immediately asked: "Who is Xin Man?"
"It doesn't matter who Xin Man is...she is just a female star. You went to her villa, which is why you had to come to Haishi. Xin Man held a beach swimsuit party and invited Bai Muchuan——"
This time, without waiting for Cheng Ling to ask, Cheng's father immediately explained, "Bai Muchuan, you are a popular male star. You have liked his looks recently, and you went to Haishi just to get close to him. But I advise you to give up. You almost died after being sent to the hospital." Oh, he didn’t even show his head, so there’s no chance for you two.”
Cheng's father took advantage of every opportunity to persuade Cheng Ling to give up.
Cheng Ling did not deviate from the point: "This male star named Bai Muchuan, where was he when I had an accident? Who rescued me and sent me to the hospital? How did my... my mother find out that I had an accident?"
Cheng Ling glanced at the unconscious woman on the bed next door.
The woman is about forty years old. She looks well-maintained and pretty. Even when she is unconscious, her brows are tightly furrowed.
Father Cheng took a serious look at Cheng Ling.
My daughter has lost her memory, but why does she feel smarter?
He organized his words and said, "When the accident happened, Bai Muchuan was filming a promotional video at Haishi TV Station. He was not suspicious. The place where your accident occurred was on the sea quite far away from Xinman's villa. According to the fellow man who came to rescue you on a motorboat, He said that he didn't see anyone around you, but he didn't take it very seriously. You were in critical condition and couldn't move. Fortunately, you were not found too late. . Save a small life."
Wasn't it too late to discover it?
No, it's too late.
The original owner is dead, so he allowed himself, a wandering spirit, to occupy the magpie's nest...
Father Cheng looked at his daughter's thoughtful face and asked tentatively: "How was it? Did you remember anything?"
Cheng Ling shook his head.
Cheng's father breathed out and continued: "In addition, you called the police after you were sent to the hospital by the local man. And your mother found out that you were missing in the shopping mall. She was afraid, so she went to the police station to report the case. After receiving the call, the police I took your mother to the hospital, and after confirming your identity, I called Xinman to the hospital to find out the situation. "
"Xin Man was drinking tea with friends at the time and has an alibi. Moreover, according to the people at the villa, you left after walking around the villa without finding Bai Muchuan. More than an hour later, something happened to you."
"Is there surveillance in the villa?"
"There is no surveillance. These celebrities get together in a chaotic atmosphere, and they might do something outrageous. If there is surveillance, who would dare to play?"
Cheng Baisheng waited for his father to finish speaking, then continued: "The police also went to the villa to inspect and asked some questions. An explanatory report will be given to us as soon as possible. The police's opinion is that you drowned accidentally this time."
No.
It was definitely not an accidental drowning.
Cheng Ling was still wearing the clothes she had worn when she drowned, a beautiful dress, and there were still traces of cosmetics on her face.
If you want to go swimming in the sea, you will put on a swimsuit anyway, and you won’t put on makeup, right?
It's like dressing up for a date.
and--
Out of sight of the Cheng family and his son, Cheng Ling rubbed his fingertips with his thumb.
There is tearing pain under the nails.
She has rich experience and knows that this is grasping something with a smooth surface too hard, causing the flesh connecting the nails and the flesh to be forced to separate - something in the water that is slippery and cannot be retained...
Father Cheng and Brother Cheng met and discussed something in a low voice with serious expressions. Cheng Ling put her hand in front of her nose and looked at it carefully.
There is a small strand of black stuff between the nails of the middle finger of the right hand.
She put her hand on her side, took out the black stuff, and rubbed it.
It's some kind of rubber.
Combined with the seaside, this rubber is likely to come from a wetsuit.
Wetsuit...
Little sister, it seems that you were really murdered.
