"Time and space are staggered. ”

At the same moment when the electronic voice on the radio said this, Xu Chunqiu felt as if something had connected all the scattered clues in her mind.

That's why there are two hairpins.

“...... I understand. She blurted out unconsciously.

"What do you mean, Qiuqiu?" Xie Lang hurriedly asked curiously.

Xu Chunqiu said: "I'll explain in a while, there are only five minutes left to collect evidence, and there is one thing that has not been found." ”

"What?"

"Suitcase. ”

Tan Xiao said: "But we have already looked for the east and west wings just now, and there is no suitcase you said at all, maybe the props team forgot about it." ”

Xu Chunqiu shook his head: "No, there must be." ”

She gestured: "It's about so wide, the height may reach the thighs." ”

"This is a very crucial piece of evidence. ”

As soon as Xu Chunqiu's words fell, Xie Lang had already taken action: "Okay, time is limited, let's look for it separately." ”

According to her description, the size of this suitcase is quite considerable, and the difficulty of hiding such a large suitcase can be imagined.

They inspected the tiles of different colors under the beds in the east wing, the west wing, and even the bottom of the stage, but there was nothing.

"There are only three minutes left. Ye Bei raised his wrist and glanced at it.

Xu Chunqiu took a deep breath.

Where, and where has not been seen.

"Ahh ”

She laboriously dragged a large box out of the waist-high plants in the courtyard, and Fu Nanxun and Ye Bei immediately stepped forward to help when they arrived.

As Xu Chunqiu said, it was a big box about one meter long and thigh-high.

"How do you know ......" Before the joke fell, Ye Bei raised his wrist and pointed to his watch, indicating that time was running out.

"Let's open the box first. ”

Ye Bei lifted the lid of the suitcase, and Xie Lang gasped.

Inside is a humanoid inflatable doll curled up in a box with his hands and knees, and in this game, such a life-size doll represents, a corpse.

Less than two minutes before the end of the evidence search, they found a second body in the compound.

Tan Xiao and Fu Nanxun pulled the dummy out of the box, only to hear Xie Lang gasp: "Sister Tan Xiao, it's ......"

Tan Xiao looked down at the big red cheongsam on his body, and suddenly felt a little creepy.

The cloth of the cheongsam on the left chest of the corpse was punctured, and it was a bloody hole drenched in the wet.

The dummy was dressed in the same red cheongsam as hers, with black curly hair, moles on the lips, and the representative flaming red lips.

All of this points to the same clue, the identity of the corpse lying in the box is none other than Manager Tan.

"But I ......"

Before he could be surprised, the electronic synthesized voice on the radio had already begun the countdown: "The evidence collection is about to end, and the ten-second countdown begins." ”

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven......"

Fu Nanxun groped his hands and feet on the clothes of the body, trying to find more evidence.

"Six, Five, Four......"

Xu Chunqiu picked up a pair of copper scissors stained with red from the bottom of the suitcase.

The red slurry was on her hands, a kind of prop blood made of cornstarch as a base, zinc oxide as an emulsifier, and various ingredients combined.

This is the murder weapon that killed Manager Tan, Xu Chunqiu thought.

"Three, two......"

Fu Nanxun groped around the corpse's body, looked up and shook his head at her, indicating that there was no new discovery.

“...... One, the time is up. "The last number of the countdown has finally fallen," This is the end of the evidence collection session, please leave the scene of the crime and return to the central hall for concentrated reasoning. ”

The group returned to the hall, and their eyes became a little complicated.

The props team placed a whiteboard behind Ye Bei that could be promoted, and Ye Bei, who played the role of a detective, held a pen and a photo in one hand, just like in a criminal investigation drama, and fixed the photo in his hand on the whiteboard with a magnet to sort out the relationship between the characters.

"First of all, there are two deceased in this case. ”

"One is the pianist who died in the West Wing," he pushed the picture of the violinist to the center of the whiteboard, "and the other is an unidentified female corpse that we just discovered, dressed very similar to Manager Tan." ”

Then he said hello to the nameless female corpse, linking the photo with the photo of the manager with an arrow.

"At the same time, we also know that Manager Tan is Young Master Fu's mother, and she is also the manager of the Peking Theater. ”

Ye Bei used a pen to connect Manager Tan with Young Master Fu, Xu Mingling and the pianist respectively.

"Finally, it is Young Master Fu's fiancée, Xie Qianjin. ”

At this point, all the relationships between the characters have been sorted out for the time being. ”

"There are two possibilities for the murderer, one is that multiple people committed the crime, and the other is that the crime is committed continuously. ”

"Is the murderer of the luthier and the corpse of this nameless woman the same person?"

Tan Xiao was the first to stand up, stepped forward to wipe off the line connecting the female corpse and Manager Tan, and pasted the two photos side by side: "This female corpse is me." ”

"But ......" Ye Bei stopped talking.

"I just said on the radio that it's a parallel world. Xu Chunqiu's tone was calm and rational.

Fu Nanxun: "You already guessed that it was a parallel world before the news was given on the radio, right?"

Xu Chunqiu nodded: "It stands to reason that there should only be a top hairpin." ”

"If the luthier has stolen my top hairpin, where did the silver hairpin that pierced his chest come from?"

She then said: "The face of the corpse was disfigured by a sharp weapon, and the murderer scratched the face of the deceased not to hide his identity, the deceased was wearing a long robe, and judging from the clothes and hairstyle, everyone in the troupe could see that he was a pianist." ”

And it's not to change the corpse in order to steal the day, the piano master has always shown people with a mask, and no one in the troupe knows what he looks like. ”

"You mean......" Xie Lang reacted, she touched her arm, goosebumps rose one by one.

"Yes, it is likely that the murderer found that the deceased had exactly the same face as himself, and in desperation, he snatched the silver hairpin from the deceased's hand and stabbed him in the chest, and cut his face with scissors. ”

"Scissors?"

Xu Chunqiu nodded: "The end of the silver hairpin is not sharp enough, and it is not impossible to pierce the chest with force, but it is obviously not enough to scratch the face." ”

But in addition to the silver hairpin that has been found at the scene of the crime, there is another murder weapon, that is, the copper scissors at the bottom of the suitcase.
