Chapter 167: Variety: Ready Player One (4)

Xu Mingling's room is not strictly her room alone, all the female singers in the troupe live here together.

The furnishings in the room are not complicated, the bed on the couch is neatly covered, and the makeup on the dresser is open, and there are all kinds of jewels, emerald jade bracelets, diamond necklaces of considerable weight, and beautiful mutton fat jade pendants.

"Oh, it's extravagant enough," Tan Xiao pulled twice in Xu Mingling's makeup box, and couldn't help but sigh, "She is a singer, and her family background is quite rich." ”

Xu Chunqiu looked back, and stepped forward in three or two steps: "It's something sent by the fans, right?"

Tan Xiao pulled it out along the chain of the diamond necklace, and tied a small note on it, with the LOGO of the program team in the corner of the note, which should be a clue related to the case.

She read according to the traditional Chinese characters written on it: "Young Master Han...... Gift?"

"Is it really sent by a theater fan?"

Xie Lang also tossed with interest.

"This is Young Master Qin, and Boss Sun...... Zhao Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu Zhengwang?" Xie Lang couldn't help laughing, "Is she collecting hundreds of family names?"

"Hey," Xie Lang turned the makeup box upside down, as if he was looking for something, and couldn't help but say suspiciously, "There is nothing that Young Master Fu sent." ”

"It's true that you said that," Tan Xiao also said, "I remember that Young Master Fu was a fan of Xu Mingling's drama, didn't he even send anything to her?"

Xu Chunqiu remained silent, and no relevant information was given in her script.

She searched between the ladies' beds, and suddenly found a thick pile of notes under a mattress, the pages were already a little yellowed, and the spine of the book had been ordered and stapled.

The name on the title page is "Xiao Cui", which is supposed to be the handwritten notes written by this female singer named Xiao Cui in her daily life.

The latest page is dated exactly as of yesterday evening.

"December 5th, night. ”

"The time for curfew is coming, and Xu Mingling and the pianist quarrel again. ”

Xu Mingling said that the pianist played the wrong one on the stage again, which affected her performance, and the two of them didn't know what was going on, so they quarreled and talked about the matter again. ”

"I also think that the pianist often plays the wrong notes, but after all, he is a monk halfway, and he didn't grow up in the opera garden like us. ”

"Hopefully tomorrow they won't quarrel anymore. ”

Xu Chunqiu closed the notebook and was about to put it back, but as if he felt a little unsure, he opened it again and flipped through the first few pages.

This flip really turned over something, and a torn piece of paper fell out, a thin one.

She lowered her head to pick it up, looked up and shouted, "Xie Lang, come and see this." ”

"June 12th, evening. ”

"Today, the old mothers in the opera garden told me that Manager Tan is actually President Fu's third aunt, and they also said that President Fu lost his wife because of Manager Tan. ”

"Manager Tan wanted to straighten out, so he killed President Fu's wife. ”

"I feel a little scared, can a manager really do such a thing?"

"If it's true, then Young Master Fu is too pitiful. ”

After reading it, Xie Lang said with some sudden realization: "So is this the reason why Young Master Fu has a strange attitude towards the manager?"

Xu Chunqiu put down the phone again: "It's almost time, let's go and join the other group." ”

As soon as the words fell, Fu Nanxun and Ye Bei knocked on the door.

"Did you find anything?" asked Tan Xiao.

Ye Bei touched his nose: "There is not much effective information in the piano master's room, but it is a little strange that he is very particular about the things he uses." ”

"A luthier in a long gown actually used a small gold velvet box to hide a pair of crystal cuffs. ”

It seems that Xu Mingling's testimony was right before, the pianist did spend a lot of money, and the so-called critical illness of his mother was just a pretense. ”

Fu Nanxun nodded and took out a newspaper: "We also found this in his room." ”

Xu Chunqiu took it and looked at it, it was all in English, and she couldn't read a word.

He then added: "It doesn't matter what is written. ”

"The important thing is, why does he put an all-English newspaper in his room when he plays the piano in a theater?"

Yes, the people in the opera garden in that era were already quite satisfied if they could eat a full meal, and it was impossible to recognize foreign languages at all.

That's the treatment that only the young master and young lady of the rich family have.

"Now that's all the clues we get," Ye Bei said, "I always feel that there are still many contradictions, are we missing something?"

Tan Xiao also nodded: "There are actually a lot of clues, but they are scattered, and I always feel that they can't be strung together." ”

"What link is missing?"

Silence, endless silence.

All the clues are wound together, and I can't find where the head is, and I don't know how to unravel the clues.

Why does a pianist in an opera garden read foreign newspapers, and why is he so short of money to spend?

Why didn't the theater fan Young Master Fu send something to Xu Mingling like the other people?

There is also the intricate character relationship between Young Master Fu and Manager Tan, if it is about the motive for killing, Young Master Fu actually has more reason to kill Manager Tan than killing the piano master.

The tattoo that should have appeared on the violinist's arm, the scratched face, the dotted silver hairpin pierced into the chest, and the suitcase that should have existed in the west wing......

The killed luthier, is he really a luthier?

Wait, silver hairpin!

Xu Chunqiu suddenly raised his head and said, "Who is there in the physical evidence bag where the murder weapon was kept before?"

Ye Bei, who played the role of a detective, took out the transparent bag from his pocket.

She took it and looked at it.

Sure enough, it was the top hairpin.

She remembered that at the beginning, the pawn ticket they searched out of the clothes of the deceased was also filled with a hairpin in the pawn column.

Since the pawn ticket is in his hand, then the pawn must be properly placed in the pawn shop.

The emerald hairpin should have been taken away by him.

And the detailed list is specially marked that in this Peking theater, there is only one set of green heads.

Why do there are two top hairpins on a set of head faces?

Unless it's ......

"Players, please note that there are still five minutes left before the end of the evidence collection session, please hurry up and conduct the final evidence collection. ”

At this moment, only listening to the electronic sound on the radio, a supplementary message was released calmly.

"In the early hours of December 6, Comet Skilerup Maristani pierced the night sky. ”

There was a pause in the sound of the announcement, followed by a series of processed chaotic currents.

"Sometimes, comets bring not only good luck, but also ......"

"Time and space are staggered. ”
