Chapter 9 Mr. Gao, "Do You Know Mo Li?"

Standing next to Mr. Gao, Ye Qing looked at the tragic "corpse" on the monitor and couldn't help but feel scared.

There was no scene for her today, but she still wanted to come and have a look.

She had never taken part in such a theme before, so when she read the script, she felt scared.

Knowing that there was a murder today, she was driven by curiosity.

But now, she felt a little regretful.

Sure enough, the saying that curiosity killed the cat made sense.

In the field, Gu Moning squatted down beside the body.

The prop team had put in a lot of effort to make it so realistic that one could smell the stench of blood and rotting corpses when they got close.

The 'Corpse' teacher was really working hard.

The vice-captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment played by Lu Yi, Jiang Shao, lazily crossed the investigation board and squatted beside the body.

He hadn't said a word yet, but just his lazy state made Gu Moning think of him as Jiang Shao.

Not bad.

He stretched out two fingers and turned the body over.

Ye Qing looked at the monitor. Lu Yi touched the corpse's elbow with his fingers and turned it over.

When she saw the unrecognizable corpse, she was so scared that she screamed.

The director next to her was the one who suffered the most.

Her voice scared Mr. Gao so much that he spat out a mouthful of water.

The next second, she quickly covered her mouth.

But... it was too late.

Her voice was too loud.

The scene was quiet, so they could hear her clearly.

Gu Moning and Lu Yi looked at each other in dismay.

They couldn't hide the helplessness in their eyes.

Sure enough, the next second.

Mr. Gao said, "Cut!"

Lu Yi stopped exploring and stood up.

The scene was completely silent.

Mr. Gao was so angry that his temples throbbed. "Let's do this again."

He said, "It's not you doing the check. You're just standing outside the field and watching. Why are you afraid."

"I'm sorry, director." Ye Qing lowered her head with a red face and kept apologizing.

"It's not me you should say sorry to. It's them. You're here to watch and learn, not to make trouble."

"Sorry, director. Sorry, teachers."

Ye Qing 's assistant came up and apologized as he pulled her away.

Mr. Gao sat down heavily on the director's chair with a gloomy face.

[I'm really impressed.]

The first round was not going well.

Mr. Gao said, "Get ready. Action!"

The reporter raised the recording board in his hand and shouted, "The first scene, the first round, the second time."

The camera zoomed in.

The two of them entered the state in an instant.

Jiang Shao squatted down, reached out to turn over the body, and asked lazily, "How is it? Have you confirmed the time of death?"

"Not yet." Lin Xia pursed her lips and shook her head. She slowly tidied up the gloves on her hands. "The body is like a giant, but because it has been soaked in water for a long time and the weather is hot now, the equipment here..."

"..is limited. The specific time of death cannot be determined for the time being."

"This... doesn't seem right," muttered Qin An, who was sitting next to the director.

As he spoke, he glanced at the director's expression.

Mr. Gao stared at the monitor with a smile on his face and said nothing.

Lu Yi was slightly stunned and almost couldn't continue his acting.

He came to his senses and quickly continued, "What's the cause of death?"

"I'm not sure yet." Lin Xia shook her head.

Jiang Shao frowned. "Why can't you confirm anything."

His tone was a little irritable.

"Mr. Jiang." Lin Xia was not angry. She smiled, slowly got up and waved to her assistant. "You asked the questions in a wrong way."

Jiang Shao stood up and rubbed the mud on the edge of his leather shoes. He stared at his shoes with a look of disgust.

"Then how should I ask?"

Lin Xia looked at her assistant and said, "Listen again to see if you have missed anything."

The assistant nodded.

She said word by word, "You should ask, did you find anything?"

"Oh~" Jiang Shao dragged out the last syllable, stood on a stone, squatted down, and nodded. "Forensic doctor, have you found anything?"

"Yes." She looked at the body and instantly became serious. "According to the clues obtained at the scene, the body should have been thrown away after death."

Jiang Shao asked, "How do you get this?"

"First of all." Lin Xia took out a cotton swab, squatted down, put it in and pulled it out of the corpse's nostrils. "It's clean, isn't it."

"Yes." Jiang Shao crossed his arms in front of his chest and nodded as if he had thought of something. "I think I know why."

When people were thrown into the water when they were alive, they would struggle and breathe heavily, so their nose and throat should be filled with mud or aquatic grass.

On the contrary, they wouldn't.

Lin Xia continued, "The victim's wrists and ankles were all bleeding circles under skin, indicating that she had been restricted before she died."

"It can be initially determined that it was killed."

"The deceased is a woman, and there are traces of sexual assault."

Jiang Shao looked serious.

"There is no wallet, mobile phone, or anything that can prove the identity of the deceased. We must confirm the source of the body as soon as possible."

"And..."

Mr. Gao held a glass of water and stared straight at the screen.

This acting was so touching.

Lu Yi and Gu Moning were in a right mood. The details were in place, and the lines were smooth, giving people a strong sense of substitute.

The staff on the scene didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Their hearts were clenched, as if a murder case had really happened in front of them.

"Cut!"

After Mr. Gao finished shouting, people, who had just been immersed in the tension and fear of the scene, instantly felt relaxed.

"This one is passed." Mr. Gao stood up with satisfaction and clapped his hands.

"Prepare for the next noe. It will start in 20 minutes."

After hearing that, Gu Moning came to her normal state in a second and bowed to the staff around her with a smile, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."

Then she walked toward the monitor. When she passed by Lu Yi, she lowered her voice and said, "It's the same as I imagined."

Lu Yi was stunned and didn't understand what she meant for a moment. He was stunned for two or three seconds and then smiled slightly.

He understood.

Gu Moning should have been to the police academy, and in fact, Lu Yi was going to accompany her at that time.

But for some reason, she didn't go there later. Instead, she chose the art school.

Qian Mu had said that she would not go to the police school because her family did not allow her to.

But Lu Yi knew that it was not the most fundamental reason. Gu Moning was not the kind of person who would not do it if she was not allowed to.

There must be some other reason behind this.

In this "Wordless", both of them were police officers.

It should be considered as realizing half of her dreams.

He turned around and followed closely behind her.

"That part just now was wonderful!" Mr. Gao looked at Gu Moning, who was watching the replay in front of the monitor.

Mr. Gao thought for a moment and couldn't help asking, " Moning, have you studied medical science before?"

Gu Moning stared at the monitor and replied without thinking, "I haven't learned it."

"Oh, I see!" Mr. Gao smiled and picked up a treasure. "You added the right words just now!"

During the shooting, Gu Moning added a few words.

The original line of the script was "The corpse is in a giant state, but because it has been soaked in water for a long time, the specific time of death cannot be confirmed for the time being."

She said, "The corpse is in a giant state, but because it has been soaked in water for a long time, and the weather is hot now, the equipment on the scene is limited, so we can't confirm the specific time of death for the time being."

Hearing this, Gu Moning froze.

"I knew it. I also realized that something was wrong at that time." Qin An touched his chin in agreement.

Lu Yi stood next to her in silence.

Gu Moning stood up straight, turned around, and smiled awkwardly at Mr. Gao. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, I forgot my lines."

Lu Yi who was standing next to her keenly caught the panic in her eyes.

[Is this girl lying now so easily?]

Her words just now were smooth and coherent, and she was in a right mood. She didn't seem to forget her words at all.

But he didn't expose her.

She asked cautiously, "Do we need to redo that part?"

"No need, no need." Mr. Gao waved his hand.

As he spoke, he approached her and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Do you know Mo Li?"

"Huh?" Gu Moning felt a lump in her throat.

A few questions flashed through her mind in an instant.

[Why did Mr. Gao ask this?]

[Did he discover something?]

["It shouldn't be."]

No matter what.

Pretending to be stupid.

It was better to play dumb.

"Director, who are you talking about?" she asked.

Seeing her confused face, Mr. Gao smiled and waved his hand. "It's okay. That part just now was very good."

He must have thought too much.

The shooting in the afternoon went very smoothly. Almost all of them passed by in one time.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when Gu Moning returned to the hotel from the set.

Seeing that it was still early, she went back to her room, put down her things, changed her clothes, and went to the gym of the hotel.

This hotel was very private, and almost all the crew here had booked this place. The gym was also specially provided for the stars who stayed in the hotel.

There were only a few people in the gym.

There were all kinds of facilities inside. Gu Moning picked a treadmill on the side.

She didn't like sports since she was a child, but it was important for her to keep a good figure in this industry.

After staying for about an hour, Gu Moning got off the treadmill, panting, took her things, and was ready to go back to her room.

She wiped the sweat off her body and waited for the elevator with her mobile phone.

"Ding."

The elevator door opened.

Before Gu Moning could put away her phone and walk in, a gust of wind suddenly blew in her face, and a tall figure bumped straight into her.

Her feet tilted and the phone fell to the ground with a snap.

She couldn't help but fall to the side.

There was nothing by her side that could help her up.

Gu Moning felt her heart tighten and she instinctively closed her eyes.

"It's over. It's over."

"It's over."

The next second, Gu Moning felt a tight grip on her waist. A pair of big palms clasped her waist, pulled her into a hug, and turned her around.

A smell of sandalwood mixed with tobacco lingered on the tip of her nose, which inexplicably made her feel safe.

Gu Moning subconsciously wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Are you all right?" A deep, magnetic voice rang in her ears.

Gu Moning felt that his arms around her waist tightened again. Lu Yi held the back of her head and leaned against his chest.

Their bodies were tightly pressed together, and Gu Moning could clearly feel his even heartbeat.

She opened her eyes, looked up, and met his deep, dark eyes.

When she came to her senses, she quickly let go of his waist and pushed him away.

She took two steps back and shook her head. "I... I'm fine."

There was an unusual color on the tip of her ears.

Lu Yi lowered his head and couldn't help smiling. He knew what she was worried about.

He looked down and saw the phone on the ground. He bent down to pick it up and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu." Gu Moning lowered her head and took the phone. Then she turned off the phone screen calmly.

He flicked her forehead. "How old are you? Why are you still looking at your phone when you're walking."
