Chapter 71: Original Sin

  Actually, in order to act well in a play, the most important thing is to get into character.

  The first thing Lyu did was to repeatedly polish and refine the script carefully.

  The male protagonist Yamakawa Hikaru is a young and promising photographer, while the rival male lead Motoki Ryo is a reporter who has just graduated from university and joined the news agency.

  The two had no intersection between them, but an interview about a criminal case gave them the opportunity to get to know each other.

  They were originally just acquaintances, but Yuan Mu Liang unexpectedly discovered some clues related to Shan Chuan Hao while organizing the materials.

  Haruki Hayashi immediately sorted and organized the relevant materials and sent them to the Metropolitan Police Department.

  I thought the Public Security Bureau would take some action, but that document was like a stone sinking into the ocean, and there was no news from then on.

  Yu Mu Liang found it strange and went to investigate a lot of information about Shan Chuan Huan, but unexpectedly, the information that should not be difficult to obtain was only able to find some useless scraps, and the useful information seemed to have been carefully processed, without any trace.

  If he were just an ordinary photographer, how could he have such flawless data?

  Just as Genjirou Hayami decided to continue investigating, he and Yukihiko Yamakawa coincidentally had another chance to work together. Moreover, it was about another criminal case.

  He thought this was a good opportunity to get close to Yamakawa Haru, so he made a plan to first become friends with him and then try to get some useful information when he let his guard down.

  With this in mind, Motoki Ryokō smiled and called out to Sengawa after passing by the scene.

  Contrary to his expectations, the mountains and rivers he imagined as gloomy and difficult to get along with turned out to be surprisingly pleasant, friendly and talkative.

  When the two of them were eating together, the experience and demeanor that Shanchuan showed in his conversation, which was somewhat introverted but mature and steady, made Yuanmu unknowingly let down his guard. What was originally supposed to be a work-related conversation gradually turned into a casual chat with Shanchuan.

  After dinner, Yuan Mu's mood was still pleasant until he returned home and suddenly realized that his original intention for finding him wasn't to have a pleasant conversation with him.

  Some regretful logs in their hearts secretly warned themselves not to forget this essential thing again, but time and time again forgot their original intention when interacting.

  Many attempts to recall were in vain, until now looking at that familiar face can't raise any guard.

  Yu Mu felt as if he had unconsciously come to regard the mountains and rivers as friends.

  Maybe it's been a long time since that case, plus the familiarity with Shanchuan now, Yu Mu chose to forget about that thing and truly be friends with Shanchuan.

  Even if he had been involved in that incident, Yuan Mu still felt that Shan Chuan was the most rich and mature person she had ever met.

  The gentle smile of the mountain stream, with a reassuring power.

  Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

  Time is like waves of the sea, layer upon layer, piling up countless delicate grains into a continuous shallow beach.

  In two years, the two people have evolved from acquaintances to close friends.

  If you tease them in a joking manner, they will be "as sticky as glue".

  The mountains and rivers are still calm. As if they hadn't seen the faint redness on Yuan's cheeks and his disappointed expression.

  Genbo noticed that he hadn't seen Shanchuan much lately.

  When you make a phone call, it's either no one answers or they sound very tired.

  Shan Chuan said he was busy with something, but obviously there wasn't much work to do.

  Mukuro didn't know why, but he always felt a little flustered in his heart.

  Maybe it's just overthinking, Yu Mu comforted himself and then threw himself into his work to not have time to think about these things.

  Yu Mu didn't know when he started liking this person.

  It's just a simple liking, even though they're not together, just being friends gives such a sense of satisfaction.

  He never said it out loud, first because he didn't have the courage, and second because Shan Chuan only treated him as a friend.

  That's good.

  When he received the email, Yu Mu was just about to write a new article.

  He was an avid reader of emails and got a message that there would be a drug bust at a certain port that night.

  Because it was an email left in a newspaper, there are often some idle people who come to throw letters and make trouble.

  The letter looked like a harmless joke, but Yuan Mu felt his heart suddenly thumping violently.

  He grabbed a coat at random and rushed out.

  When he saw Shanchuan with a wicked smile on his face that he had never seen before, Yuán Mù was stunned and forgot how to react.

  He looked at the person who was familiar with himself but had changed beyond recognition, and his heart was calm.

  Perhaps I came here just to learn this fact. The mountains and rivers I knew were just fictional people, beautified by my own illusions.

  Too naive, and would go all out to convince oneself that Shan Chuan had never committed a crime.

  Yu Mu looked at Shan Chuan's face with a ruthless expression, his tightly gripped phone seemed to be sinking into his skin.

  Maybe if he didn't speak up, the police wouldn't have been able to catch Shankun in time.

  But at the same time, it also means that more people's futures may be ruined.

  If the mountains and rivers are not caught, I may still be able to quietly watch him from one side.

  If the mountains and rivers leave like this, if one pretends to have seen nothing. Then.

  He hid his figure in the green belt and dialed the police station's phone number.

  When the siren sounded, Shanchuan looked obviously stunned.

  Even though he quickly regained his poker face, Yamakawa's slightly furrowed eyebrows didn't escape Genmu's gaze.

  The police arrived. Motoki thought to himself that he knew what would happen next. But... Motoki's eyes were firm.

  No matter whether what he saw was real or not, he would wait, no matter how many years the mountains and rivers would spend in prison.

  In any case, he has long been beyond redemption.

  Yu Mu never thought that this would be the end of everything.

  Shan Chuan fired a shot, but it was not aimed at the police, but at the drug trafficker.

  His pupils were extremely dilated and he clearly saw the original wood, after this shot, countless guns aimed at him.

  It was as if being strangled by the throat, that kind of fear, made the wooden building on the verge of suffocation.

  Mountains and rivers will never die.

  The gunfire rang out again.

  Yu Mu looked at Shan Chuan who was frozen in place and smiled slightly.

  Lightly and gently.

  "Are you a police officer?" Yamakawa's voice was very soft, only audible to Yamakawa.

  The mountain and river did not speak, but the original wood knew, this was tacit consent.

  "Really good."

  The mountain river woodenly looked at the body of the original wood falling down, unable to move.

  The appearance of Yuan Mu attracted the attention of the drug lord, buying time for the police.

  This anti-drug operation achieved great success.

  When the team was gathered, Shankun was still sitting on the ground, quietly hugging the corpse that had become icy cold.

  His eyes were as gentle as ever.

  The dark and profound depths are unfathomable.

  A drop of rain falls on the face of the mountain and river, like a colorless and tasteless tear.

  Shan Chuan focused on looking at Yuan Mu's pale face with a faint greenish tint, carefully tracing it with his hand, again and again.

  If falling in love with each other is our original sin, then being together may be our redemption.

  A police officer walked over and tried to comfort Shankuan, "I know you two were very good friends, but the dead can't be brought back to life..."

  The mountain river seemed to have not heard it and gently hugged the original wood to stand up, with a slight pause in its footsteps.

  "Not friends."

  "Huh?"

  The smile embedded in the corners of the mountains and rivers has become a gentle arc.

  I love him.

  Ignoring the stunned expression of the police officer, Shan Chuan carried the log steadily towards the dark and deep sea.

  Yu Mu, you once said your favorite thing is the ocean.

  So we start and end here.

  With a faint smile, Shan Chuan didn't hesitate and jumped down.

  It is said that two people who die together will be reborn in the same place.

  Then next life, be with me.

  Fitting day.

  Ritsu was taken by Nana to a studio for an audition.

  The decoration is not complicated, just very simple style.

  Lü originally thought he had arrived early enough, but unexpectedly there were still quite a few people already seated inside.

  It's likely that most of the people here are somewhat famous movie stars, although not all of them are first-line actors, but at least they're well-known names.

  So when Lü appeared in the workshop, it was extremely abrupt and eye-catching.

  They wouldn't guess that he's an ordinary staff member, just like a newcomer. Let alone his temperament, just talking about Natsumi Matsuda behind him, who is quite a well-known agent, which means this unfamiliar person should be someone who has already debuted.

  Given their daily attention to the entertainment industry, there is only one possibility that they don't know this person - that is, this person is actually a newcomer who has just debuted.

  What a joke? Even newcomers can come to audition for Ida Daizhong's movie?!

  According to reliable sources, Ida Dai has been preparing for this film for many years.

  Normally speaking, it's impossible for a newcomer to get such an important role.

  Even just having a chance to try out is enviable and has driven people crazy.

  At the first time, all the celebrities who were present at the scene thought of the hidden rules.

  If it wasn't because of this, what would be the reason?

  Although I had never heard of any similar scandals about Yida Dazun before, the entertainment circle is so deep, whether it has happened in the past or will happen again in the future, who knows.

  The law that conveys clear information from all directions has not been heeded, nor even greeted.

  It's not that he deliberately wants to appear so ungrateful, the main problem is that even if he could bear the X-ray-like gaze of these people and greet them, he has just come to this world for a short time and can't remember so many names.

  This is not a real world that I have lived in. Among these stars, except for the protagonist of the comic book, I haven't heard of any one of them.

  So he didn't even remember her name and wouldn't know how to greet her if they met again. So... he'd better just stay put where he was.

  There aren't many people competing for this role, but since Director Iida gave these people the opportunity to audition, it proves that everyone present is a very capable and potentially strong contender.

  So even if Lü has already memorized and internalized the script, and practiced many times, he still doesn't dare to be careless.

  It also came in the order of the number plate, and the law is unclear whether the sequence and success rate are related, but he was indeed the last one to try out.

  It has to be said that this position is actually not good, the director and other judges have seen too many previous ones, and the later ones will be at a disadvantage. One reason is that the creativity may not be as good as the first one, and another important reason is that when watching, it must be concentrated, so the later it is, the less spirit there is, and it feels tired.

  Lü didn't have time to think about this matter, it's somewhat unfair in essence, just quietly closed his eyes and repeatedly recalled the ideas and details he had carefully considered before.

  After waiting for an entire afternoon, it was finally Lü's turn.

  Lü picked up his spirits and walked into the room.
