21: The interrogation escalated, and Qin Rong couldn't take it anymore.
Qin Rong completely broke down.
She knew it was acting, but she truly believed Lin Pei could kill her.
She struggled violently, but the ropes binding her held fast.
Qin Rong wailed in agony.
"Help! I don't want to die!"
That reaction even surprised Lin Pei.
Fortunately, she was a woman.
If she were a man, he might have to compete with him for the best actor award in the future.
The Film Crew also sighed with admiration.
"This guy, I underestimated this Extra's acting skills earlier. I didn't expect her to be so good."
"Those tears are incredible. Many lead actors still need eye drops these days."
"I've seen her act before, but I've never seen such an amazing performance from her."
"Director Li Bing was right, as long as you act opposite Lin Pei, your acting skills are guaranteed to improve by a large margin."
“...”
Since the audition began, the Streamer's live broadcast room had been quite quiet.
It felt like everyone was immersed in watching the show, with no time to type.
Occasionally, a few simple words floated across the bullet screen.
"Brother Lin is amazing."
"Brother Lin is mighty."
"666."
At this moment, seeing Qin Rong's hysterical reaction, the bullet screen became dense again.
"This Extra's acting is so good, it makes me want to untie the ropes for her, she's too pitiful."
"Yeah, and punch Lin Pei while you're at it."
"Lin Pei always plays villains, isn't he afraid of being scolded by grandmas when he goes out to buy groceries?"
"But I have to admit, even though he plays a refined pervert, he's so handsome."
"Hmph, my Brother Lin doesn't rely on looks."
“...”
Over there, Qin Rong cried a couple of times, then suddenly shouted.
"Don't kill me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
Director Li Bing in front of the camera was stunned.
"Is there really more?"
Neither she nor the Screenwriter knew about this.
Improvisation truly brings surprises.
Good scripts are born from such clashes.
Qin Rong was crying with snot and tears, already disoriented.
"I deserve to die!"
"I'm not human!"
"I'm a bad guy!"
"I'm a damned Human Trafficker!"
!!
As Qin Rong's words fell, the entire set fell silent for a moment.
Director Li Bing frowned.
Is this sister talking nonsense?
The word "Human Trafficker" even came out.
Although the effect was good, this word didn't quite fit the script.
However, the actress's explosive power was strong, and he really couldn't bear to call cut at this point.
Lin Pei was also a little bewildered.
He increasingly felt that the acting of the woman opposite him was excellent.
Since Director Li Bing didn't call cut, Lin Pei continued to press for answers.
"Human Trafficker? You?"
"Time and place? Is it related to the rescue operation you mentioned?"
Qin Rong cried and trembled, her eyes bloodshot.
"Our group has always operated in Hengcheng, and we have branches in other cities."
"It's not fixed when or where."
"We basically change locations every three days."
"Logically, we need to change cities frequently, but Hengcheng is relatively safe."
"I've been called in by the police several times, but they always sent me back safely."
!!!!
Huh? Hengcheng?
So she wasn't talking about something in the script.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Holy crap.
This person isn't really a Human Trafficker, is she?
What she just said was about her time as a Human Trafficker in Hengcheng.
From what she said, it sounded like a large gang?
A familiar account suddenly appeared in the Streamer's live broadcast room.
Hengcheng Police: "Continue the interrogation. Make her spill out the gang's hideout and all its members."
...At this moment, Criminal Police Officer Captain Xu Feng was sitting in a conference room with a team of Criminal Police Officers.
Intern Police Officer Xu Chang had quickly projected the live broadcast content onto the screen.
He was familiar with Qin Rong.
The last time, he and his master interrogated her.
Qin Rong was right.
She had been to the police station several times because she stayed at the scene of missing children and was called in for questioning.
But because there was no evidence, they never traced it back to her.
Those cases of missing children have not been solved to this day.
They should have thought of it earlier!
What Qin Rong just said was practically challenging the authority of Hengcheng Police.
What did she mean by Hengcheng being relatively safe? Did she think they were pushovers?
After the police left a message, the live broadcast room exploded.
"Holy crap, I thought it was a script, but this person is actually a Human Trafficker?"
"The official confirmed it, so it must be true."
"The police asked her, and she didn't say, so why did she tell the truth on the film set?"
"Blame it on Teacher Lin Pei's acting being too realistic."
"I thought the Extra had good acting skills, but it turns out it was a real reaction scared out of her by Brother Lin."
"It has to be this brother, he caught two criminals with his own ability."
"Streamer, quickly pass the police's words to Teacher Lin Pei, and let him continue the interrogation while he has the chance. After all, without concrete evidence, it's hard for the police to arrest someone."
“...”
On the set, Lin Pei also looked stunned.
She spoke so professionally, could this person really be a Human Trafficker?
Why does he always encounter criminals every time he films?
What kind of rotten luck is this?
Before the Streamer could approach, Lin Pei slapped the table and continued to question.
"You're a Human Trafficker, right? Tell me the details of your crimes?"
"Confess honestly!"
He needed to confirm again.
If she was really a criminal, he would have to call the police to arrest her.
Opposite him, Qin Rong trembled.
But she gritted her teeth and remained silent.
This matter had been buried in her heart for many years, a secret hidden in the deepest part of her soul.
Even though she was a little disoriented at this moment, she subconsciously wanted to keep this secret.
Because once she confessed, she would be sent to prison to "step on the sewing machine" (a euphemism for prison labor).
Lin Pei held the knife tightly against Qin Rong's neck.
"Not talking? Then I'll have to keep my word and send you to your death."
Click, the sound of a bullet being chambered.
Qin Rong visibly panicked and lost control.
From her expression, everyone knew she was about to confess the details.
The Police Officers in the live broadcast room also stared intently at the screen.
The Intern Police Officer opened his notebook, ready to record.
However, at this moment, a figure flashed in front of Lin Pei and grabbed Lin Pei's arm.
Zheng Xin had an ox-like strength.
"Brother, don't be impulsive, we're filming!"
"It's not necessary, really not necessary."
He had been scared senseless just now.
Only after he reacted did he realize that these lines could not possibly appear in the script.
Clearly, that Extra had been forced to talk nonsense.
He didn't know why Director Li Bing hadn't called cut yet.
If this continued, wouldn't the Extra be scared out of her wits?
He didn't know where he found the courage, but he suddenly darted over.
Seeing this, Qin Rong indeed calmed down, and her open mouth closed again.
She gasped for breath.
"Director Li Bing, can we take a break?"
The Police Officers in front of the live broadcast screen narrowed their eyes.
Who is this Young Man?
They had reason to suspect that this actor might be an accomplice of the Human Trafficker.
What a timely interruption.
Not just them, but the people in the live broadcast room also felt like their minds had been jolted.
"This guy knows how to time things."
"Holy crap, I already started recording my screen, and he says it's not necessary?"
"This actor is truly a mystery."
"Such a timely interruption, he's probably in cahoots with the Human Trafficker."
The other people on set also seemed to realize something.
From the looks of it, this isn't part of the script.
Is that Extra really scared out of her wits by Lin Pei?
And she might actually be a Human Trafficker.
Director Li Bing was about to call cut when Lin Pei suddenly shook off Zheng Xin's hand.
"Whoosh!"
He pulled out his sunglasses from his pocket and gently dangled them by their chain in front of Qin Rong's eyes.
