Chapter 212: Chapter 209: Two Murders Behind the Suicide

"I died, I actually died."

Nan Sijin’s soul knelt painfully beside the corpse.

"I knew it, I knew they would torture me to death sooner or later! But there was no turning back, I told them I didn’t want all this, yet they still wouldn’t let me go!"

His mind was filled with painful memories from his lifetime.

At that award ceremony, he replaced Xia Yan as the favorite in President Xie’s eyes.

Nan Sijin was young, only nineteen, completely unaware of the sinister nature of the entertainment industry.

He thought President Xie was helping him and inviting him to dinner because he appreciated his talent.

But that man was scum!

President Xie was coveting his body and wanted to play with him, that’s why he offered him an olive branch!

That old man not only liked to have fun but also had sadistic tendencies...

While Nan Sijin was in unbearable pain, Qin Zhao came downstairs and asked him, "Did you commit suicide?"

"No! I didn’t commit suicide! I sacrificed so much to get those roles, why would I commit suicide? I must rise above, and step on all those people!"

Nan Sijin’s face contorted fiercely, his body surging with resentful energy, wishing he could tear President Xie apart with his hands.

"But you are already dead, who killed you?"

"Xie Fangmao!"

Nan Sijin spat out the three words through gritted teeth.

"He wanted to play me to death, he’s not even human! And my agent, Chen Hua! He’s just a pimp, specifically providing us youngsters to these elites!"

Nan Sijin’s words were incoherent, and he couldn’t help crying again.

He sacrificed so much to get those roles, but before he could become popular, he died!

Nan Sijin felt a strong sense of injustice in his heart and hated those people even more!

Qin Zhao asked him, "Did Xie Fangmao push you off the building? Or because of his abuse, you couldn’t stand it and committed suicide?"

"No, I didn’t commit suicide."

Nan Sijin’s crying paused, and he looked blankly at Qin Zhao.

He tried to remember but could only recall a fragment of what happened right before his death.

"I was arguing with someone on the rooftop; he even tried to hit me. Then... we had a dispute, I fell down. No, he pushed me! I didn’t jump by myself!"

"Do you remember who it was?"

Nan Sijin didn’t respond for a long time, his expression lost in memory.

Seeing that he couldn’t recall, Qin Zhao used a spell to help him, boosting his soul’s strength a little, making it easier for him to remember.

"Let’s go back to the rooftop; in that place, it should be easier to remember. Once you remember, tell me the identity of the killer, and I can help you bring the perpetrator to justice.

The police haven’t found evidence of your murder yet, if they don’t find it, they might have to conclude it as a suicide."

"Okay, I will remember!"

Nan Sijin drifted beside Qin Zhao, and they took the elevator back to the rooftop.

On the way, Qin Zhao took out her phone to text Chu Yan.

It was very late, and Chu Yan asked her when she’d be home.

Seeing Qin Zhao holding her phone triggered a sudden realization in Nan Sijin!

The reason he was arguing with that person was because of a phone!

Phone...

What was it in his phone?

Oh, right, there were many photos!

Reaching the rooftop, as Nan Sijin saw the railing, flashes of images crossed his mind.

"Ah! I know, he wanted to kill me! He pushed me down on purpose!"

Qin Zhao quickly asked, "Who wanted to kill you?"

"My agent, Chen Hua! I couldn’t believe Xie Fangmao could be such a pervert; though he could provide me a lot of resources, I couldn’t stand it and felt that someday he’d play me to death!

They had played someone to death before, but the police didn’t know and didn’t arrest them!

That day I was at the scene and took some photos. There were not just me as an artist under Chen Hua; he had introduced other people to elites before.

The person who died was one of his artists, and he helped those people handle the corpse.

Last night, Chen Hua came to see me, and wanted me to go with Xie Fangmao tonight.

I refused him, stating that I would never see them again. Chen Hua then threatened to expose my relationship with Xie Fangmao, which would ruin me.

I told him that I had evidence of their murder, and if he dared to expose me, I’d expose them!

Then we started arguing; he attacked me, trying to snatch my phone!"

"And then Chen Hua pushed you off the building?"

"Yes! It was him!"

Qin Zhao nodded, having suspected Chen Hua, but she hadn’t expected it to connect to another case, which made it urgent to arrest agent Chen Hua!

As Nan Sijin recounted his story, Captain Huo had come up to inspect the scene and coincidentally, to find her.

"How is it? Did you find anything?"

"Yes."

Qin Zhao relayed all that Nan Sijin had said to Captain Huo.

Captain Huo’s expression darkened, "These people are too arrogant. I’ve always known the entertainment industry is murky, but I didn’t think they’d disregard human life to this extent."

"Chen Hua got ahold of Nan Sijin’s phone already; that goodbye message was probably sent by Chen Hua using Nan Sijin’s phone to his own, to clear his suspicion and to prove that Nan Sijin committed suicide."

"Are those photo evidences also saved on that phone? Does Chen Hua know about this?"

Hearing Captain Huo’s question, Nan Sijin promptly said, "There’s a set of photos in the phone, but I also made a backup, which is on my computer at home!"

Qin Zhao relayed this to Captain Huo.

"We have not found the phone yet; it was probably destroyed. The evidence inside is likely gone too; let’s hope the evidence on his computer is still there."

The two left the rooftop and headed to Nan Sijin’s home.

The police had previously searched Nan Sijin’s home and checked his computer.

But they didn’t find any special photos inside because Nan Sijin had hidden the folder containing the evidence.

He worried that if something happened to him and the wrong people found those photos first and destroyed them, there would be no one to seek justice for them.

Nan Sijin never thought that the disaster would strike so soon.

He thought having those photos could free him from those devils, but it led to a complete tragedy.

"Captain Huo, we’ve looked everywhere possible and haven’t found the victim’s phone."

Captain Huo and Qin Zhao had arrived at Nan Sijin’s place and met the investigating police team members.

The captain sounded apologetic; despite deploying all his personnel, they had come up empty-handed.

"It was probably destroyed; it’s not your fault you couldn’t find it."

Hearing this, the captain was surprised.

"Captain Huo, are you certain there’s an issue with this case?"

"According to the witness, Su Xiaotong, she saw the victim fall from the building around 6:50 PM, but the agent Chen Hua received the victim’s farewell message at 6:55 PM.

Do you think that’s possible? Sending a text to Chen Hua while the victim was midair?"
