917 The Truth Is Out
A few days back, the special guests had to come to the venue in advance for a rehearsal to ensure that there would be no accidents during the official recording.
As a guest, Lan Ying had naturally gone there too. However, seeing that the backstage environment was very old. The venue’s poor heating system along with its large size caused her to shiver in the cold, which inevitably made her feel a little dissatisfied.
After it was over, they passed by a room on their way back to the lounge. Lan Ying saw a stack of tickets on the coffee table inside. The stack seemed to consist of admission tickets.
She had heard of the value of such admission tickets before. If the location was good, it could be sold at a high price to people who needed it. Wasn’t this additional income? It might even be higher than her own remuneration!
Anyway, since there were so many of them, it should not matter if a few tickets were missing.
With this in mind, Lan Ying wanted to make sure no one was around, so she tiptoed in, quickly pulled out a few tickets, and left. That night, she sold them to a few people in her fan club and splurged the money on herself.
She almost forgot about this matter, but now she had remembered it due to the pressure. Thinking about Yun Xi’s unhappy expression just now, she was even more certain that this matter had caused Yun Xi to look for her.
Thinking of this, Lan Ying did not even have the mood to record. She kept still thinking, looking for a solution.
On the other side, Yun Xi had not stayed idle either. She made an excuse to go to the toilet, but in reality, she wanted to confirm with the space. After all, she had only been judging based on the one-sided words of the girls. It would be awkward if she got it wrong.
“Space, I’d like to know when and where Lan Ying stole the tickets.”
Yun Xi was careful. After all, the prediction function could only be used three times a month. If she asked this question, she would know if it was done by Lan Ying and how it was done so that she could investigate later.
“Yes, Master. You have made a total of three divinations this month. You have two left. Please wait.”
About ten seconds later, the voice from the space sounded again.
“Master, the investigation is complete. The act was done by Lan Ying in the conference room five days ago.”
It happened five days ago? This made Yun Xi think back. In order for the program to go smoothly, she had been reporting to the venue almost every day. She remembered that the time that the space had mentioned was spent discussing with the director about the invoice. That night, she had even brought back a pile of tickets. Zhou Lin had laughed at her for being a sales pitch at the entrance of the theater.
“So that’s how it is. Now that I know the time and place, it’ll be easy to find them.”
Yun Xi believed in Rocca’s law. As long as something had been done, there would definitely be traces that could not be completely removed.
For example, an important event like the conference room would definitely be equipped with surveillance cameras.
Although the current surveillance cameras were not as advanced as the ones in the future, as they could not rotate 360° and the picture quality produced was not as clear, at least they could see who was in the video.
Using her identity as an investor, Yun Xi asked the surveillance room for the video recording on the grounds that something had been lost. After all, an accusation required evidence.
Shifting the time back to five days ago, Yun Xi looked carefully and saw a sneaky figure with her signature long wavy hair. Who else could it be but Lan Ying?
This time, she had caught some key evidence. Yun Xi sneered as she printed out the photos. The equipment on the set was complete, and it saved her the trouble of finding a place to print them.
When the recording was almost over, Yun Xi knocked on the door of Lan Ying’s resting room again. Compared to the last time, Lan Ying was well prepared this time. She even poured hot tea and placed it on the table.
As soon as she saw Yun Xi, Lan Ying greeted her with a smile. “Producer Yun, what’s the matter? I still have some things to do and need to rush home!”
“I see, but if you cooperate, it should be fast.” Yun Xi took out a few admission tickets from her bag. She had taken them from the girls. I think you know what these are, right? ”
The moment she saw what was in her hand, Lan Ying’s face froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her expression and asked despite knowing the answer, ” I don’t think I’ve seen them before. They look like entrance tickets for the show.”
These are the admission tickets you had stolen from the conference room five days ago.
Hearing Yun Xi accurately report the time and place, Lan Ying got a little flustered.
Could it be that Yun Xi already knew that she was the one who did it? That didn’t make sense!
“What are you talking about? I don’t know anything about this.”
At this point, Lan Ying was still quibbling and trying to play dumb. However, Yun Xi did not show any mercy. She took out the freshly printed photo and threw it on the table.
“Now that you’ve seen this, do you understand?”
