"When the unexpected incident occurred during the live stream, our regulatory team initially considered shutting it down immediately, but after they notified me, I stopped them right away."
"If we had recklessly ended the live stream, it's possible it would have caused too much discontent, and the other party might have been driven to kill in desperation. But we never expected that he wouldn't care at all, provocatively murdering Jiang Qing right in front of the camera. We were all terrified."
As she spoke, Xu Keyan's eyes reddened. Although she was in charge, she had a good relationship with Jiang Qing.
Now, with the other party having died so tragically, she felt extremely distressed.
"Hmm, when she was streaming that day, aside from the unexpected incident, did you notice anything unusual?"
Luo Fei glanced around the circle of computers, where there were specialized personnel monitoring the live stream room conditions.
They were the main managers and supervisors under the company, responsible for immediately cutting the live stream if an unexpected incident or emergency occurred.
This action is colloquially known as 'shutting down the room'!
"Unusual? No, just the mysterious figure suddenly barging into the camera, which none of us expected. Prior to that, it was just normal interaction, Jiang Qing was managing it well all along."
"That mysterious person's voice... have you understood anything about it?"
"No, Officer Luo, we've already sent the video materials over to you. The mysterious masked man used a voice modulator, it's a synthesized voice, which truly can't be traced."
Xu Keyan showed a face of helplessness.
They had already tried to figure it out on their end by reporting all the available materials, but there hadn't been any noticeable adoption because it completely lacked the necessity for investigation.
Jiang Qing's incident was very likely due to personal reasons, so it didn't have much to do with the company.
This is indeed the biggest worry for the entire media company now.
The occurrence of such an event in the live room has damaged the company's economic interests. Overall, more than anyone else, they wish to know what exactly happened and the identity of the mysterious person.
As long as the suspect remains at large, public fear will cause the company to continue losing money.
Many recommended streamers have already shut down and stayed home because of the related incident, and they can't even comment publicly since addressing the matter leads to investigation, putting too much pressure on the company.
Even if they manage to barely maintain their popularity in the live room, it's only supported by background data from integrating the atmosphere.
Iron fans are continually being lost, and even existing business partners and advertisers are applying one after the other to amend contracts.
This point made Xu Keyan, as a person in charge, feel extremely troubled.
The higher-ups knew that those below couldn't handle these matters, and could only wait anxiously for results.
"Officer Luo, if there are any more materials needed, we will certainly do our best to cooperate, hoping for a quick resolution as it indeed pertains to our company's survival situation. Doing online streams depends on popularity and daily maintenance. If it's interrupted long-term, we will suffer unpredictable losses."
"We understand, we are focusing on finding clues regarding this matter to solve it as soon as possible."
"Now we need to connect with the staff responsible for managing Jiang Qing's background data at that time to answer some questions."
Xu Keyan nodded and immediately began arrangements.
Quickly, a man in his thirties walked over.
"Hello, Officer Luo, I am Xue Zhihang. Previously, I mainly managed Jiang Qing's live room and some of her backstage data."
"Hmm, let me see Jiang Qing's reward records and recent earnings."
"Officer Luo, about how long do you want it for?"
"About the last three months."
Xue Zhihang immediately went to prepare.
Luo Fei then walked with Liao Xingyu and the others outside the remaining live rooms, occasionally stepping into the monitoring office for a glance, being cautious about further crimes.
"Luo Fei, you're being overly tense. That mysterious person acted arrogantly after the murder, with a very clear objective. As long as it's not indiscriminate killing, selecting the next target will take some time."
Liao Xingyu waved his hand while speaking, trying to comfort the other.
"Meanwhile, we try to find clues from Jiang Qing's case and solve her identity as soon as possible."
Luo Fei nodded.
Hopefully, that's the case!
If it continues like this, the situation will be utterly uncontrollable...
He had already seen related reports and trending searches on his phone, especially screenshots of people reposting the live stream accident on the front pages of some forums.
Even with censorship marks, the bloody horror scenes were still visible everywhere.
"These troublemakers, apart from spreading rumors, what else do they do? Do they really think the internet is a lawless land?"
Zhou Fan looked at his phone, frowning.
Isn't this just adding to their troubles!
Hearing the other's comment, Luo Fei chuckled bitterly.
"Keyboard warriors are unassailable; when you don't need them, they act like moles. Wherever there's a story, they burrow to it, sigh..."
"Exactly, what a headache."
Liao Xingyu and the others felt helpless for the moment as well.
The internet's spreading effect profoundly impacts real life.
Netizens feel fear both online and offline, escalating a sense of crisis, which doesn't help maintain societal stability.
The resulting panic means the entire situation loses control.
But since that mysterious person remains uncaught, the pressure entirely shifts to the police force.
The internet industry's spread speed is exceptionally fast. As long as this case isn't solved, the impact won't cease.
Currently, these streamers are only affected in their work and life, but if delayed further, some could face life-threatening situations while on duty.
Soon, Xue Zhihang brought over Jiang Qing's reward records, though there were significant personnel changes among them.
The top benefactor wasn't consistent, changing nearly a dozen times in three months.
With not many broadcasts, otherwise, it'd truly be a needle in a haystack needing to be checked one by one.
Just when Luo Fei was preparing to look at the detailed earnings, a sudden, miserable scream erupted.
"Hurry over here..."
Everyone rushed towards the commotion.
A room manager was staring at the screen, trembling, as a terrifying scene unfolded inside.
After the incident, not many dared to stream anymore; those who hadn't ended were the seasoned streamers seeking to make money.
Of course, there were also some popular high-profile streamers among them. With the threat of becoming obsolete anytime, they wanted to seize this opportunity to continue fighting on the frontline, thus bringing traffic to themselves.
But unexpectedly, an accident still happened!
From the image presented on this computer, another female streamer unexpectedly met a tragic end.
The victim was a young woman named Guo Wei, only twenty-three years old.
At that moment, her stream was in shambles, her constantly struggling arms and legs were covered with many cuts.
Still, Guo Wei twisted and pulled wildly, trying to resist.
Holding her neck tightly was still that mysterious person.
The other wore a yin-yang mask of black and white, grinning at the camera.
In his hand was a kitchen knife, seemingly seized from the victim's home.
"Everyone, we meet again."
Luo Fei stared intently at the screen, simultaneously shouting to Liao Xingyu and others, "Hurry up and set off, track using the IP address, I'll find a way to stall him, hurry!"
Then Luo Fei typed on the screen, sending a message using a room manager's account with a bullet screen mark.
"What do you want? We can talk about it, don't hurt her."
Seeing this bullet screen, the mysterious masked man burst into loud laughter.
"How amusing, there's actually someone so responsible, let me guess, is it a police officer watching this woman's live stream?"
"Oh, dear, you don't know, she's not a pushover at all, hahaha..."
Listening to the mysterious figure's taunts, Luo Fei hurriedly signaled others to send bullet messages as well to stabilize the opponent.
But the mysterious figure seemed quite knowledgeable, then clenched Guo Wei's face, pulling her towards the camera too.
"Let me see, indeed someone sent you gifts, business is good, but you might just earn money but not live to spend it."
"Fans on the leaderboard, hurry up and send gifts, my patience is limited."
Hearing the opponent's threats, Luo Fei immediately requested to connect for a voice chat, needing to stall this lunatic for now.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't care at all, directly slashing towards Guo Wei with the kitchen knife.
