When they arrived at room 603, Liang Guangyu's agent Li Hui quickly ushered them in.
Liang Guangyu was pacing restlessly around the room. Upon seeing Fang Rui and his team, he immediately said, "Officers, you absolutely must not release those photos to the public! You have to keep this confidential for me, otherwise my lawyer will sue you for defamation."
"Liang Guangyu, shut up!" Li Hui was about to cry from this man's stupidity. The police had so much evidence, and he still wanted to sue them for defamation? Was he trying to get the police to expose all his dirty laundry? Liang Guangyu's brain seemed to have been squeezed by a door, as dull as a pig. If it weren't for his handsome face, she would have stopped representing him long ago.
"Mr. Liang, what is your relationship with Su Momo?"
"Just friends..." Seeing Fang Rui frown, Liang Guangyu quickly confessed, "No, she's my ex-girlfriend. We dated for two or three years, but she suddenly broke up with me a couple of days ago."
Liang Guangyu irritably ran his fingers through his hair. "Officers, haven't you already figured everything out? Is there really a need to keep asking?"
"What is your relationship with Liu Yaying?"
"You mean Su Momo's assistant? I just slept with her once, but she kept pestering me and even tried to force me to break up with Momo. She's mentally unstable, there's something wrong with her head."
"Where were you yesterday between 4 and 5 PM?"
"I was in the makeup room. My makeup artist and assistant can confirm that. I have nothing to do with Momo's death. I didn't kill her."
Zhang retorted, "We never said Su Momo was dead."
"But with all that blood on the ground, how could she not be dead?" Upon hearing the news of Su Momo's death, Liang Guangyu breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Hui poured cold water on him. If Su Momo was really dead, once the police investigated, their secrets would be exposed instead. Liang Guangyu instantly became as startled as a frightened bird.
Zhang reminded him, "Mr. Liang, we've found that you may be involved in prostitution. My colleagues will contact you later, and we hope you'll honestly confess to your crimes."
Prostitution was a matter for the vice squad next door, so Fang Rui had already transferred the evidence to his colleagues.
Liang Guangyu's face instantly turned ashen. Li Hui also realized that Liang Guangyu probably couldn't be saved.
After questioning Liang Guangyu, Fang Rui and Zhang left. When they reached the hotel lobby, they found the entrance crowded with reporters. The hotel security was trying hard to maintain order, but many reporters were still pushing in with their cameras.
"Is Liang Guangyu staying at this hotel?"
"Is he really with Su Momo?"
"Is Su Momo's disappearance related to him?"
Although Liang Guangyu himself wasn't present, the reporters were still pestering the hotel staff for information.
Fang Rui frowned. How did the reporters know about Liang Guangyu and Su Momo's relationship? He opened his phone and received a notification:
According to inside sources from the police, Su Momo's disappearance is suspected to be related to Liang Guangyu. Su Momo had been dating Liang Guangyu for three years, but Liang Guangyu had cheated on her multiple times and was also suspected of hooking up and flirting with female fans...
The article also included photos of Liang Guangyu's infidelity.
Fang Rui found that Liang Guangyu was dominating the trending topics on various platforms:
#Yu-Mo CP is actually real#
#Yu-Mo CP video compilation#
#Liang Guangyu Su Momo audio recording#
#Momo baby I'm sorry#
#Liang Guangyu juggling multiple women#
#Liang Guangyu the big player#
Multiple trending topics about Liang Guangyu quickly dominated the charts. At first, Liang Guangyu's company hired a large number of internet trolls to try to suppress the negative news with dating rumors, and his fans also tried hard to clean up the comment sections. It worked well initially. However, due to the high interest in Su Momo's disappearance, curious onlookers quickly pushed #Liang Guangyu scumbag# to the top of the trending list.
Most netizens believed that Su Momo's disappearance must be related to Liang Guangyu. They thought it was very likely that Liang Guangyu had killed her to cover up his misdeeds.
Fang Rui looked at Zhang.
Zhang immediately denied it, "Boss, it wasn't me who leaked it. Although Chen Xue is Su Momo's fan and she hates Liang Guangyu, we still separate our personal and professional lives. We would never leak case details to the public."
"I didn't say it was you. I'm asking you to investigate and see where the information source came from. You're better at investigating gossip news."
"Then don't look at me like you're interrogating a suspect." Zhang felt very wronged.
Fang Rui felt that this situation wasn't so simple. Although the news about Liang Guangyu was explosive, talent agencies usually monitor their artists' public opinion. If it was a small-scale exposure, Liang Guangyu's company would definitely be able to control the narrative. But for this situation to escalate so quickly, there must be someone pulling strings behind the scenes.
As public opinion fermented, Liang Guangyu became a scumbag reviled by thousands.
Dozens of Liang Guangyu's female fans gathered at the police station entrance with signs, making a big fuss. They claimed the police were irresponsible and had released false information, damaging their brother's reputation. They demanded that the case officers come out and make a statement to clear their brother's name.
The chief ordered people to disperse the fans. But they were a group of young girls who were very emotional, and not only were they not dispersed, but the people sent to disperse them were scratched.
"The police officer who leaked the information must be fired! We want to file a complaint against the police for unfair law enforcement."
"The public security organs should keep the investigation process strictly confidential. Why was evidence from the investigation leaked? We must be given an explanation."
"Please have the relevant personnel clarify the rumors for Liang Guangyu and restore his innocence."
Mu Mian went out to pick up a package and saw the large-scale protest at the entrance.
She found it a bit noisy and thought about getting the package later, but the package contained her favorite medical journal.
Mu Mian ultimately couldn't resist the temptation.
She carefully tried to avoid them, planning to slip through the edge of the crowd and the gap in the iron gate.
But then someone said something, and the crowd became agitated. A girl pushed forward forcefully, and Mu Mian lost her balance, hitting her head on the iron gate.
Fresh blood slowly trickled down Mu Mian's forehead.
Mu Mian was very angry. She said to the girl, "You pushed me. You need to apologize."
The girl saw Mu Mian's appearance and was startled. Blood kept flowing from Mu Mian's wound, and her face was covered in blood.
"You... you..."
Others who saw Mu Mian in this state were also shocked and started to leave. After all, shouting a few words at the police station entrance was nothing, as the law doesn't punish the masses, but if someone died, they could go to jail.
The blood flowed into Mu Mian's mouth. It tasted salty, and only then did she realize she had a wound on her head.
It hurt a little.
Fang Rui had just returned from outside and saw Mu Mian standing at the entrance, her face covered in blood.
"Mu Mian, who hurt you like this?" Fang Rui quickly ran to Mu Mian's side. "Are you okay? Why is there so much blood?"
"I'm fine, the wound isn't serious, it's just a scrape. But I have a blood clotting disorder, so it takes longer to stop bleeding." Mu Mian's expression was very calm. She pressed a tissue to her wound and was about to go back to put on a band-aid.
Fang Rui picked up Mu Mian. "We're going to the hospital."
Mu Mian protested, "Fang Rui, I'm really fine. I don't want to go to the hospital. The wound is so small, I can treat it myself."
The hospital was nearby, and Fang Rui ignored Mu Mian's protests, carrying her towards the hospital.
"Fang Rui, I don't want to go to the hospital. Look, the wound is already clotting."
"Fang Rui, are you deaf? Can't you hear me talking?"
"Fang Rui, I'm afraid of heights. Don't carry me so high."
Fang Rui finally reacted and adjusted his hold on her.
Mu Mian finally realized that Fang Rui was angry. But she didn't know why he was angry. She was the one who got hurt, shouldn't she be the one who's angry?
Zhang anxiously followed behind Fang Rui, thinking Mu Mian was seriously injured.
"Officer Zhang, could you please help me pick up my package? I'll send you the pickup code. Please bring my journal to the hospital, otherwise I'll be very bored."
"...Alright." Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. If Mu Mian still had the energy to read journals, her injury probably wasn't too serious.
