China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 243 Like a ghost land

The discussion caused by the Golden Rooster Award nomination did not last long. It was just a gust of wind, and the topic in the film and television industry was once again snatched away by "Signal".

"Signal" first aired in mid-July and has been airing for nearly a month and a half now in early September. The discussion has not only not diminished, but has become more and more lively.

Chen Jingxing had to lament that Mango TV's move to restart the weekly theater was indeed a wise one. If it were sold to other satellite TVs, the 25 episodes would be broadcast in two weeks, and it would be difficult to maintain such long-term popularity.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is the quality of this drama. As "Signal" has been broadcast for nearly half of the time, the characters and character arcs of the three leading actors have begun to enter the key shaping stage.

Through the partners in several cases, the ordeal between life and death, coupled with the progress of the main plot and the memory killing, the three leading actors have completely entered the hearts of the audience. One of the evidences is that netizens have been very excited when discussing the plot.

Instead of blurting out "Sun Li" and "Deng Chao", call the characters in the play. Otherwise, the high energy of the plot alone will not be able to trigger such an enthusiastic discussion about the update.

Only when the characters stand firm can the audience empathize with the protagonists.

Of course, the high-energy development of the plot is not inferior to the depiction of the character Gu Guang. "Signal" has aired to its 134th episode, and has experienced four cases in the middle. At the same time, the main plot has gradually emerged. The disappearance case of Li Shian started from

The main plot from the first episode to the present is that Qin Hai and He Xiuying are each investigating the cause of disappearance and the whereabouts of Li Shian, who is neither alive nor dead, without knowing each other.

For the audience, every case that Li Shi'an and Qin Hai go through in pursuit of the murderer seems to arouse enough murderous intent for him, and the suspense of the main plot becomes stronger and stronger.

In addition to the main case, each independent case can almost be cut into an independent movie. The case not only has elements of suspense and excitement, but also accuses human nature and imitates various aspects of life.

By the fourteenth episode, the new case reached a new high-energy level.

Unexpectedly, she wanted to go fishing, but actually caught a big shark. Although He Xiuying fell into extreme fear, it was the police after all. Taking advantage of the prisoner's negligence, she stumbled out with black cloth over her eyes.

She was about to be found by the prisoner who covered her face with a hat, mask, and sunglasses, but she was rescued by Li Shi'an who happened to be looking for her.

He Xiuying had a hunch that there might be more than three victims in the plastic bag-covered murder serial case. Therefore, at He Xiuying's insistence, the police decided to seal off the tourist attraction where the bones were found, and invested a large amount of police force to start searching and digging in the mountains for other bones.

Eighteen years later, in 2015, a skeleton was discovered by tourists in a scenic valley near a mountain city. He Xiuying came with Qin Hai, a member of the case team, to check it out. After testing, the skeleton was that of a woman.

Amidst the sounds of "discovery" and "report" through the intercom, the screen follows He Xiuying's line of sight under a 360-degree surround lens. The audience, like He Xiuying, feels like they are in a bloody prison, with chills all over!

“There’s a discovery here!”

At the same time, because of the previous case, Qin Hai believed that the walkie-talkie allowed him to contact Li Shian in the past across time and space. The resulting "butterfly effect" not only failed to change things for the better, but frequently made things worse.

, not only hurt more originally innocent people, but this walkie-talkie that can communicate across time and space is very likely to be the root cause of Li Shian's final death.

On October 17, 1997, in Shancheng, when a woman was returning home from shopping in a store, she saw a poor puppy on the road. When she squatted down to hug the puppy, she was kidnapped and put over her head with a plastic bag and killed.

The body was dumped next to the garbage heap.

The walkie-talkie in He Xiuying's hand suddenly made a rustling sound, and at the same time, the voice of the police searching for clues on the mountain came!

"There are bones here!"

Li Shian, played by Deng Chao, heard about the case from witnesses. In addition, another deceased was later killed in the same way. Because the locations were different, the police stations in the two places did not combine the two cases for investigation.

, Li Shian led his team to investigate the case.

The camera returned to the police station again. Qin Hai opened the drawer of Captain Zhao Jian's desk following the direction of the faint "rustling" sound that sounded like a timer.

He Xiuying, played by Sun Li, is a team member of Li Shian. He Xiuying, who has a crush on Li Shian, took a peek at the case of the plastic bag hood case while he was sleeping.

"There's a skull here!"

It was obviously a well-known scenic spot with bright sunshine and lots of tourists in the past, but now it was like a ghost land!

And just when the rustling sound from the walkie-talkie became louder and louder, and the audience gradually became breathless, the camera turned to He Xiuying's side.

Just when Qin Hai was lying on the table for a lunch break due to fatigue, he suddenly heard the familiar rustling sound of a walkie-talkie, but the sound was weak. He had obviously thrown away the walkie-talkie!

He followed the faint sound to the office of the criminal police captain Zhao Jian. Zhao Jian happened to hear the rustling sound from the walkie-talkie downstairs, so he walked up the stairs towards his own office.

So Qin Hai made up his mind to throw away the walkie-talkie that could contact Li Shi'an in the past. However, the walkie-talkie was obtained by Zhao Jian, the captain of the criminal police team who was closely related to Li Shi'an's disappearance (death). He had always suspected that Qin Hai had something

Secret, fearing that he would restart the investigation of Li Shian's disappearance, so he has been monitoring Qin Hai.

She had just joined the police force and repeated the route of the two deceased people over and over again with headphones on. She walked for a day. On the way back, she saw an injured puppy. When she knelt down to hug the puppy, she was struck by someone.

He put a plastic bag over his head and took him to his home.

He Xiuying decided that the next case to be investigated was the plastic bag serial murder case. Two similar victims were found eighteen years ago. The cause of death was suffocation due to neck compression. These two victims plus the body found in the mountains

corpse, the case can be defined as a serial murder case.

Amid calls from the walkie-talkies coming from all directions, He Xiuying's blank eyes looked up at the surrounding valleys with beautiful scenery and the fragrance of birds and flowers.

Moreover, the skull was covered with a red plastic bag that had not yet degraded, which reminded her of the plastic bag murder case in the unsolved backlog and the experience of narrowly escaping from death eighteen years ago.

"..."

The walkie-talkie used to communicate between him and Li Shian across time and space appeared in the center of the picture with a sudden increase in rustling sound, and it was like a heavy hammer hitting the audience's heart.

Qin Hai picked up the walkie-talkie with trembling hands, and the rustling sound suddenly stopped!

Captain Zhao Jian stood expressionlessly at the door of the office, looking at the opened drawer and the walkie-talkie Qin Hai was holding.

Qin Hai's eyes were firm and sharp, with a sneer on his lips.

Episode fourteen ended with gasps from the audience.
