Chapter 480: Simple Folk Customs in the 90s
Time flies by.
In the summer of 2013, in Los Angeles, Wang Chengguang appeared in a large suite on the top floor of a top hotel. Ten minutes later, his phone rang. It was Hunter from Disney. Compared with ten years ago.
At that time, Hunter was the young heir of a family that shared the dominance of Disney with multiple families. Now Hunter is the president of Disney and can greatly influence the more than 200 affiliated TV stations controlled by Disney.
He can be called a new generation media tycoon.
When the call was connected, Hunter laughed humbly and devoutly, "King, are you visiting Los Angeles for something? Are you going to work on the movie "The Investiture of the Gods" or other projects? We at Disney can be lifted up by your Excellency. If you have any instructions, we will do everything for you."
Ten years ago, when they first came into contact or had little contact, in the face of various miracles, Hunter took the initiative to convert and called out "Lord" and "Father" and so on. Wang Chengguang didn't care, because it was just a casual name in places with fewer people.
After a long period of contact, it is more appropriate to use the word "king" in public, which will not shock the outside world.
Wang Chengguang was speechless. "If I say I'm here for a pharmaceutical company, you might find it ridiculous, but it's actually true. I'm here at the Spark Hotel, and I don't need you to do anything this time."
The hotel under your feet is a property of the Spark Hotel Chain Group in Los Angeles, which was built by the Spark platform over the years through acquisitions or purchase of land.
It was already the summer of 2013, and the Spark platform that Zhou Wenwen and Nancy first controlled was also listed in the spring of 2006. Its market value exceeded 100 billion US dollars when it rang the bell. Now Spark is in the areas of Weibo, online chatting, including smartphones replacing WeChat and opening up mobile payments.
They are all readily available.
This is a behemoth with a market value of 1.3 Hong Kong dollars, close to 2000 billion US dollars. The hotel industry is just one of Spark's real industries.
Basically, they are major cities in Europe, America and Asia, with a top hotel in each city, where Wang Chengguang, Zhou Wenwen and Nancy, as well as a series of Wang's crews and stars stay when they travel to different cities.
This hotel is generally not open to the public...
The Fengshen series of movies that Hunter mentioned? It started with the rural teacher that shocked the world during the National Day in 2003, and then Chang'e Flying to the Moon was released on January 2004, 1, the New Year's Eve.
Under the 3D IMAX viewing effect and the top special effects, the big movies on the mythology side, Dayu Taming the Flood, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Lady White Snake, Seven Fairies, and then Nezha Conquers the Dragon King, Havoc in Heaven, Three Fights with the White Bone Demon...
The Super Mythology series prelude promoted by Wang Chengguang Film Studio has exceeded ten films in these years.
The Myth Universe only launched its first Fengshen (Investiture of the Gods) in the market in 2010.
A series of super special effects were laid out, and the concepts of various myths and the underworld universe were promoted. Not to mention Hunter, who is already a white-skinned, yellow-hearted egg man, any black mixed-race person singing and dancing on the streets of Los Angeles or taking a high can understand the simple saying that good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil.
After all, that’s more than a dozen super blockbuster films… To be more precise, it’s been 12 years since Wang Chengguang arrived here at the beginning of Infernal Affairs!
Twelve years of publicity and promotion, including a series of science fiction blockbusters such as The Wandering Earth Part 1 and Part 2, Rural Teachers, and The Three-Body Problem.
There are also some historical blockbusters including the action-style martial arts "The Qin Empire", the movie version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", etc., not to mention the award-winning works such as "Train to Busan" and "Parasite".
At this stage, Wang Chengguang Film Studio, with its studio background, signed star contracts and the value of its brilliant IPs, is worth at least HK$100 billion.
Take the earliest Ling Jing, Huang Zhenhua and others for example. They had already finished their first contract of ten films and would immediately renew their contracts with Wang Chengguang Studio for their second and third long contracts. Why?
Because when Lao Wang needs you, your contract will be your priority to play the leading role, second supporting role, etc. He will give you 70% of the market price, and when he doesn't need you, you can do whatever you want.
For a legitimate big group, no matter what the film project is, the group takes 5% and you keep %. For a single or a concert, etc., the group takes % to % and you only keep % to %. It's too generous.
Moreover, Wang's productions have not produced any bad movies so far!! Having no bad movies means that you can maintain your popularity even if you play a supporting role. If you build a good reputation as a talented actor, it will be more conducive to improving your value.
Over the past decade, Wang Chengguang Film Studio has not only signed numerous unit contracts with nearly 100 old, middle-aged and young film and television star actors in China, but also signed unit contracts with 50 to 60 of the most popular actors in South Korea and Hollywood.
These contracts are equivalent to controlling the future of a brilliant entertainment empire.
This summer, the third part of Fengshen is still in the process of producing special effects, but Wang Chengguang came to Los Angeles not to promote the movie, but...
In the original story of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Will Rodman, the geneticist whose invention nearly wiped out humanity and enabled a large number of apes to awaken their intelligence and evolve into a new intelligent race, once again stepped into the scientific research field that had been suppressed by him.
Will Rodman's father suffered from Alzheimer's in the late 00s. He studied genetic medical engineering, and in order to save his father, he joined a medical group in San Francisco and led the team to tackle Alzheimer's disease. That was also a group that hunted chimpanzees in large numbers as experimental subjects.
In the late 00s, Wang Chengguang took direct action to prevent Will's father from becoming ill, and now Will's father is still a healthy and sober old man.
He took the opportunity to bankrupt a pharmaceutical group in San Francisco!
The male protagonist Will has no relatives who need emergency treatment, and no original company to join. At most, his university study trajectory remains unchanged.
But now he has added medicine to the mix… This can only mean that for the European and American world, any major chronic disease is a gold mine, a mountain of gold and silver, where the medical empire sucks blood from the human population.
Those kinds of diseases still exist, and the groups and talents involved in these industries are still there. Will is now just following the trend, joining the scientists in the fight against Alzheimer's disease for fame and fortune.
Wang Chengguang sighed again, thinking from the simplest perspective of good and evil, Will himself did nothing wrong, but he did accidentally release the world-destroying virus.
After thinking about it, he arranged a call to ask Will Rodman to join the new crew to be an actor and star. "He needs money to make a living. In addition, he has knowledge and ability in genetic research, so he joined the pharmaceutical group to make a living."
"But after becoming a star and making a lot of money easily, you probably won't go back to your old ways, right?"
Arranged a new job for Will, starting at $10 a play? He probably won't go back.
A few days later, Wang Chengguang returned to the Journey to the West plane and easily obtained a round of rewards from the Heavenly Dao. Under the burst of golden light of merit, his cultivation level also rose all the way until the end.
Cultivation Technique (Yang System 1.0), Pseudo Taiyi Golden Immortal, (9291 million/10 billion)!
Cultivation Technique (Yin System 1.0), Pseudo Taiyi Golden Immortal, (1.12 million/10 billion)!
When the day's landing was over, he was in a good mood as he saw that his Yin-type skills experience had increased by more than 2000 million. This increase was not much, and it was far from the total demand of the Taiyi Realm, but he had gained more than 12 million experience in just 2000 years, which was very efficient.
After all, under normal circumstances, if you rely on cheating to gain experience points, you can gain 1000 experience points a month, which is only 1.2 a year, and 12 in ten years. Compared with the endless lifespan of the Taiyi Realm, this time the efficiency is a hundred times higher.
As things have developed to this point, Rose's story continues to unfold. Without Will, the world-destroying demon, everything remains the same. Wang's films are bombarding the world and reaping box office revenue, continuing to promote and consolidate the concept of "good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil" in the underworld universe. After thinking about it, Wang Chengguang still opened the door to a new dimension.
…………
New world.
Wang Chengguang steadied himself and absorbed the background of his identity. He understood his current situation and couldn't help but complain in his heart, "This is still a world without spirits. It's 1995:1 am on January 30, 11. Today is New Year's Eve. I'm a policeman??"
This new world is still a world without spirits, and there are no signs of world destruction in spiritual perception. So, the new world...
Let’s not think about the meaning of the new world for now. Wang Chengguang discovered during his background review that this young policeman had encountered a major case for the first time since he joined the job. Today, New Year’s Eve, should have been his annual holiday.
But in Hechang, where his new identity was located, a major robbery occurred. A mining unit was robbed by several gangsters the night before, just before the New Year salary was to be distributed to all the employees. It was a sudden attack, and the security department who were guarding the salary did not expect such a thing to happen. They were watching TV or eating or drinking when they were attacked.
After the incident, there were 11 bodies at the scene and signs of gunfight and explosions.
Wang Chengguang is a young man who graduated from a technical secondary police academy in the early 90s and just joined the No. Police Station in Xishan District as a police officer. He was urgently recalled to his post during the New Year holiday, and has been working since the day before yesterday during the district-wide investigation.
"Gan is a word that really reflects the simple folk customs of the Northeast."
Wang Chengguang was lost in thought when a young man with a round face came out of an alley ahead. He was wearing a police uniform, a police hat, and large gloves. He also had a bag on his body. When he saw him, he called out, "Chengguang, can you still hold on?"
The other party strode closer, exhaled, took off his gloves and looked for a cigarette, "It's been almost 48 hours, and I heard there's still no clue. The provincial department leaders have been paying attention to it, and I guess the director will be coming soon. It's the New Year's Day, and our city is just making a move."
"It's really inhumane. For the sake of the wages of more than 100 million employees in the mine, so many people were killed. This is the second time that all the employees of Xishan Mine have received wages in half a year. Many people didn't receive a penny in the previous six months. They finally got their wages, but this happened. Is there anything suspicious in your investigation?"
Wang Chengguang remembered that Du Fengchun, a policeman in his early 20s, was his senior who had joined the company more than a year earlier than him.
The relationship between the two was okay in the roles arranged by the system. The night before yesterday, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, they had dinner and drank wine together in the temperature of minus 20 degrees Celsius, and then they were urgently recalled to start work.
He thought about it again, but couldn't find out whether he was in a story. He shook his head and said, "I don't have any ideas."
Du Fengchun took a puff of his cigarette and quickly put on his gloves. "Let's go back and eat first. I heard that Director He asked his sister-in-law to make dumplings and send them to the institute. There are ten of us in the institute, so we definitely can't finish them for lunch and the New Year's Eve dinner."
At this point, he called Wang Chengguang back to the station. After walking a few steps, Du Fengchun said curiously, "I checked every household and felt that there was a problem with one family. The family's surname was Chen. They had three children. The eldest went to work in another place and hasn't been back for a long time. The second child went to South Korea. Only the parents and the third child were at home."
"I think there are some suspicious points about the second brother, Chen Xiaoqiu. He used to fight all the time. Why did he suddenly go to Korea to work? I haven't heard that he has any friends or relatives in Korea, and he doesn't understand Korean."
"I will report this to the director and Captain Hu at the meeting."
Such a big case happened the day before yesterday. The provincial department has already issued an order to report the progress of the case to the provincial department every four hours, and an expert group of the provincial department is also being formed.
What police officers like Wang Chengguang and Du Fengchun have to do is to visit every household after they close their doors to count and see if there are any suspects, and to proactively screen out suspicious targets.
Visit and investigate community after community.
It is now the mid-90s, and Hechang does not have too many high-rise buildings, but there are villages, streets, communities, etc., which consist of one-story courtyard houses and one family, and they accommodate a lot of people. This area is basically populated by retired workers from the Xishan Mine and laid-off workers' families.
Wang Chengguang asked curiously, "Has Chen Xiaoqiu done anything else out of the ordinary? He only has a criminal record for fighting, but this is a big difference from a major case like this where 100 people died from a robbery of over 11 million yuan in public funds."
Even in the 90s when people were simple and honest, fighting VS such a serious crime? ?
Du Fengchun exhaled smoke and shook his head. "I've never heard of this. I just know that Chen Xiaoqiu is a very arrogant person with a history of fighting. He worked in a mine a few years ago and often went down to dig coal. After being laid off in recent years, he has been idling around. At least he is familiar with the environment of Xishan Mine... That's all. I definitely don't dare to think that he has any connection with this serious case."
"The problem is that after the serious crime happened, we conducted a large-scale investigation. His father said that he went to South Korea and was away for two months. The neighbors can testify to this. But this alibi is unreliable, right? He is not a big gangster, but he is not an honest man either." The large-scale investigation is to find a list of suspects, summarize and discuss them according to the degree of suspicion, and then screen out targets one by one.
After the incident of a rude street thug, every household stayed at home to investigate the case. Are they not here?
Wang Chengguang laughed, "This is indeed a preliminary screening list."
The two arrived at the No. 9 Police Station and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties in the large office. She came over with two lunch boxes and said, "Chengguang and Xiaochun are back. Come and eat. These dumplings are freshly cooked."
This is He Suo’s daughter-in-law in the background information.
The two of them greeted each other politely, thanked each other and said a few words about Happy New Year. Wang Chengguang expanded his spiritual sense to perceive it. No matter how big or small the significance of the new world was, or what its meaning was, he was here anyway. In the 90s, in the world without spirits, he encountered a murder case with 11 deaths.
He didn't know whether this was just a story or a real big case. If he encountered it, he would solve it as he was a policeman...
While they were eating dumplings, Director He Yutao came back on his bicycle and also ate dumplings. During the conversation, Du Fengchun at the side again mentioned Chen Xiaoqiu, who he thought was a suspect.
He Suo is also analyzing normally.
Wang Chengguang swallowed a dumpling, sat down beside Du Fengchun and said, "Brother Chun, do you remember any distinctive features of Chen Xiaoqiu?"
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Du Fengchun scratched his head. "Obvious features? Nothing too obvious... No, he has a squint, which means he is looking down, tall and big."
He Yutao smoked some cigarettes and said to Wang Chengguang, "What did you find?"
Wang Chengguang said a few polite words and said with emotion, "Director, I forgot who told me that the body whose identity has not yet been determined was not only burnt, but also had one eye shot and shattered?"
He had sensed it, and didn't know what the story was, but he also found several familiar faces. Was this a story plane he had never seen before? He had never seen it before. The Taiyi Jinxian's divine consciousness covered a city and easily found countless clues.
Chen Xiaoqiu was indeed a gang of four robbers who was beaten to death on the spot and then burned to destroy the evidence.
It has been 40 hours since the incident, and various autopsies are still in progress. The results of the autopsy survey have been circulated within the public security system.
The experienced detective had already predicted that the eleventh unidentified body might be one of the criminals.
Wang Chengguang added, "Since the identity of the eleventh body is uncertain, and I heard that he was shot more than once, was the bullet in his eye the first fatal wound, or was it a subsequent bullet that destroyed his appearance?"
"If Chun Ge hadn't said that Chen Xiaoqiu had strabismus, I really wouldn't have thought of this."
He Yutao, "Wait, the unidentified corpse shouldn't be a robber, right? We initially thought it was the security department or an innocent citizen..."
Du Fengchun was so dizzy that he put down the box. "Yes, I forgot who told me that the eleventh body was shot twice, one in the eye and the other in the face. But they were shot with the five-round shotgun bullets used by the gangsters, not the Type 54 bullets used by the security department."
Regardless of whether there are any senior detectives who begin to suspect and determine whether the unidentified corpse is a gangster.
The ordinary police officers who were involved and knew part of the situation did not expect this because the unknown victim was killed by a shotgun, not the Big Black Star bullet used by the security department.
Wang Chengguang ate another dumpling. "What if the gangsters were shot dead by our security department, and the other gangsters shot the Black Star bullets again before leaving to destroy the traces? A few more shots would disrupt the direction of our investigation."
"You see, none of you suspected that the unknown corpse was a robber, but Chun Ge suspected that Chen Xiaoqiu went to Korea during his investigation. Something is wrong, and there is a certain suspicion of fabricated alibis... He also has the obvious feature of a blank eye."
"There is another thing. I remember that nearly four years ago in April 1991, there was a robbery at our Hechang Jinlu Savings Bank. The armed robber was also a Gelengyan, right? The file report at that time also said that the robber used a police gun. It was the same group of people who killed and robbed Gao Jianshe, the deputy director of Dashanzi Police Station in January 4. Ballistic testing shows that the robbers at Jinlu Savings Bank used the police gun that Gao was robbed of."
"The two cases were combined by the Municipal Bureau and Director Han, but three or four years later, the two cases are still unsolved."
As he was speaking, Director He Yutao slammed the table and hurried back to the office to make a phone call. He was also misled and did not think that the eleventh anonymous person was not a robber but an innocent victim.
Robbery with firearms, super serious cases, would ordinary people have the courage to do such a thing? Those who have criminal records and have done serious crimes are the biggest suspects.
I won’t mention too much...More than three years ago, one of the robbers of the Jinlu Savings Bank was Ge Lengyan. There was also a precedent of killing a policeman, stealing a gun, and then using the police gun to rob in early 3.
He Suo immediately understood that the eleventh unidentified corpse was most likely the robber who was killed by the security department and then shot by his accomplices to destroy the marks of Black Star's gunshot wound.
After all, this happened during the Chinese New Year and eleven people were killed in a gunfight. Director Han of the Municipal Bureau concluded that the suspects had organized and planned to rob Xishan Mine of more than 100 million yuan in wages and were very familiar with the crime scene, otherwise they would not have been able to easily enter and exit the Xishan Mine office building and mine, and then easily hide among the people.
The police have conducted a comprehensive investigation and have yet to find any clues in this serious case.
You are not a local and you are not familiar with Xishan Mine, so how do you know when the salary is paid and where it is? You also took advantage of the night of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month when countless places were setting off fireworks and firecrackers to start a gunfight, and then ran away from the playground... and no trace was found? It's like you have evaporated from the face of the earth.
The only positive outcome of this major case was that two members of the security department used guns to guard the wages of more than 100 million yuan in the warehouse, and prevented them from being robbed by gangsters.
The phone on the other end of the line was ringing. Du Fengchun was shaking with excitement. "Damn it, could it really be Chen Xiaoqiu? Is this guy really that vicious? Then what's next..."
…………
Less than half an hour.
Wang Chengguang and his team had already arrived at the 1 Major Case Command Center set up by Xishan Mine in a police car. As soon as the three of them arrived, Director Dai Changjiang of the Xishan Branch ran over and said, "Who found out that Chen Xiaoqiu is a suspect? We have contacted the immigration department... There is no record of Chen Xiaoqiu leaving the country to go to South Korea. He did not go to South Korea to work, at least he definitely did not go there legally."
In a word, He Yutao and Wang Chengguang both looked at Du Fengchun.
Xiao Du saluted excitedly, "Hello, Director Dai, I found out during my investigation that Chen Xiaoqiu's parents and his brother all said that Chen Xiaoqiu went to Korea two months ago and was sent to the train station by a friend."
"Many neighbors have also confirmed this. Chen Xiaoqiu has not appeared on the community streets for two months. He is quite famous. Since he stopped working at Xishan Mine, he has been eating and drinking on the streets and has never done any serious work."
Director Dai was also very excited. It was 40 hours after the crime, and they finally found a major clue! ! Director Dai personally lit a cigarette for Xiao Du, "Very good, very good. Four years ago, Director Gao was killed and his gun was stolen. More than three years ago, the savings bank was robbed. It's been three or four years."
"If it was done by Gelengyan Chen Xiaoqiu, then he does have the courage, is familiar with the Xishan Mine office building, and has all the knowledge and abilities."
"The autopsy and forensic doctors are re-examining the true cause of death of the eleventh unidentified corpse. Was he beaten to death by Black Star or by the five-shot shotgun? As long as the autopsy results come out, there will be a major breakthrough. And we have already found out that Chen Xiaoqiu has a history of imprisonment. It's just that after he was released from prison, he severed all his previous familiar relationships. On the surface, he looks like a decent person, but how many decent people can be out of work for a long time? We have confirmed that this case was organized, premeditated, and planned."
"Then Chen Xiaoqiu said that the reason for going to Korea... It's probably to create a false alibi. This means that the robbery was planned several months in advance."
The more we investigate Chen Xiaoqiu, the more suspicious points we find. Such a big case must be solved as soon as possible so that the innocent security department members who died during this Spring Festival can rest in peace as soon as possible, and we must also give an explanation to the families of those comrades in the security department.
We can also give an explanation to the family of Deputy Director Gao who died four years ago.
He Yutao was also confused. "Director Dai, what about Chen Xiaoqiu's home? Should we start investigating Chen Xiaoqiu's relationships with the three robbers who escaped?"
With the first major breakthrough, all that remains is to follow the clues.
Director Dai smiled cheerfully, "We have already arranged it. Captain Hu from the Criminal Police Team and the new Deputy Captain Qin have already led a team to thoroughly investigate Chen Xiaoqiu's social relationships."
Speaking of the new Deputy Captain Qin, no one else reacted, but Wang Chengguang had a small reaction, because in his perception, Deputy Captain Qin Chuan had the face of a protagonist, as if this was a new dimension of a story he had never seen before.
Captain Qin is the male protagonist.
Director Dai finished a cigarette excitedly and smoked another one. "Speaking of which, our Deputy Captain Qin, who graduated from the Law Department and completed his internship in the provincial capital, was also the apprentice of Deputy Director Gao who died four years ago. He applied to be transferred back to our Xishan District in order to investigate Deputy Director Gao's case."
"The 1 major case was just started this morning."
This is also a typical resume of a protagonist.
He Yutao was surprised and asked, "Deputy Director Gao's apprentice?"
Director Dai nodded. "Qin Chuan, like Xiao Du and Xiao Wang, was originally assigned to be a police officer after graduating from a technical secondary school. He was encouraged by Deputy Director Gao to go back to college. The year he started, Deputy Director Gao was killed. Director Han was also in charge of that case. After all, he killed a police officer and stole his gun, and he also used the police gun to rob."
"After the Jinlu Savings Bank case more than three years ago, the Gao police guns never appeared again, and the case was closed. I now feel that this series of cases are completely connected. Xiao Du, you are the biggest contributor to our 1 case."
A policeman was killed, and he was a colleague of his for decades. This must have been a great shock to the other policemen. It not only became an unsolved case, but also a badge of shame for his superior, Chief Dai. It would be a day of shame if the case was not solved.
The autopsy results haven't come out yet, but based on his experience as a police officer, he already feels that it's confirmed!
Du Fengchun waved his hands hastily, "No, no, Chief. If Chengguang hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have linked all these cases together."
He Yutao also hurriedly praised Lao Wang.
Director Dai's smile became even more passionate. "Xiao Wang, who did you hear about these cases and connected the clues together?"
Wang Chengguang's smile was in line with the performance of a rookie who had just entered the workplace and accidentally discovered clues to a serious case. "No, I couldn't remember who it was at the moment. I have been working for more than a year. In the entire Hechang area, there have not been many such serious cases in the past ten years. I have a clear memory of the case and the characteristics of the suspect. But I have forgotten who said it specifically."
As a rookie policeman, I was deeply impressed by the fact that there have been several police killings in my area over the past few years, and the victims were deputy police chiefs who tried to steal police guns.
I haven't read the case file because I don't have the authority. What I remember most clearly is that the news spread from person to person and from mouth to mouth.
This is of course very reasonable. Director Dai patted Wang Chengguang on the shoulder again excitedly and said, "Young people are smart. You are worthy of being a technical secondary school student. Don't worry, the case has been solved, and you and Xiao Du are both responsible!"
(ps: The book "Let's Struggle" is close to completion, and Xiangfang is trying to finish the plot recently~ The update may not be stable in the next few days.)
