"Li Jing, what are you doing on the weekend?" After lunch again, I asked Li Jing.

"Read a book, huh? What's the matter, you want to ask me out on the weekend? ”

"Hehe, I have two movie tickets and want to ask you to accompany me to see them." I'm a little embarrassed to say it.

"What kind of movie, you have to let me go with you." Li Jing had an inexplicable expression on his face.

"Shootout movies, the majestic kind, no girls around me like to watch this. Are you going, it's free, and I can still invite you to dinner? "I'm more dog-legged and hope someone can accompany me to see it.

Li Jing looked at me helplessly: "Okay, when." ”

"Do you have time on a Saturday afternoon? Just after reading it, you can go to eat hot pot. ”

Li Jing didn't speak, so I took him as a default.

On Saturday, there was sporadic light snow from the morning, and by the morning the falling snowflakes could already be clearly seen, but fortunately, the theater was very close to us, and the two of us were not frozen on the road for a long time. Sitting in the theater waiting for the opening, I smiled at Li Jing a little embarrassed: "I didn't expect it to snow today?" ”

"You never look at the weather forecast, do you?" Li Jing glanced at me.

"Look at it, this ad is super good, I watch this ad several times a day." I subtly changed the subject.

Li Jing completely closed his eyes and ignored me.

Soon, the iconic golden dragon flew onto the screen, and the surroundings fell silent as we brought on our 3D eyes. However, this silence did not last long, it was disrupted by a gunshot, it is normal for gunshots to appear in gunfight films, but this time it is different, with the gunshots, a person fell directly on the podium, "Peng" attracted the attention of the audience, I thought the film was too realistic, but with a scream and the chaos of the audience, I realized that what had just happened was a real death. Before I could see the situation on stage, a pair of big hands covered my eyes and said in my ear in a nice voice, "Don't look." Then the man took me by the hand and walked out of the screening room. Later, I sometimes thought that the people who stayed in the camp like me and listened to it would remember the movie that day in the future, after all, it was so strange that a real corpse flew out of the film.

Finally, the staff calmed down the chaos, and the police also arrived at the scene at this time, and the routine inquiry came to us and pressed the pause button. The policeman who inquired about the situation was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Jing, and said: "You wait for me here, and I'll ask you two later." "Staying where we were, overwhelmed, we went to ask the witnesses who were lined up behind us.

"You're really good at picking the day, have you read the yellow calendar?" Li Jing raised an eyebrow and asked me.

"You don't have to be sarcastic about me." I tucked down at the collar of my coat and sat down on the sofa chair in the hall.

"What a detective physique." Li Jing sat next to me.

"Shut up." I closed my eyes and ignored him.

It was an hour before the police officer who was in charge of collecting evidence at the scene came up to us. "What a coincidence, I can meet you every time!" The officer kept tapping his knuckles on the notepad in his hand.

"The day is set by the girl next to me." Li Jing pointed at me, and shook the pot.

"Huh." I feigned coughing, "I didn't know it could happen to me." ”

"Okay, no more nonsense. Since you have been exposed to this kind of case before, you should be able to speak more objectively about the situation at that time. The officer on the other side flipped through the notebook, "When did you find the deceased?" ”

"Like everyone else, less than 20 minutes into the movie, a man fell on a display stand in the viewing hall. At that time, the plot was supposed to be when the male protagonist shot one of the villains in order to escape the pursuit.,If I'm not mistaken.,It should be the first time the male protagonist shoots.。 Li Jing answered the question directly for me.

The officer on the other side nodded, and then asked, "Did anyone show up on the display in the previous 20 minutes?" ”

"No, if there were, his shadow should be reflected on the screen. It was snowing today, and there were very few people who came to see the movie, and there was no one sitting in the first three rows of the viewing hall. ”

The police officer left Li Jing's phone and closed the notebook and motioned for us to leave.

Because of this incident, I was in no mood to eat at all, Li Jing accompanied me to a nearby cat café, I squatted on the ground to tease the cat, and Li Jing sat on the card seat by the window to make a call. After playing for a while and getting bored, I sat back at the booth and picked up the sandwich on the table to eat. Li Jing glanced up at me, and the way he wanted to speak suddenly made me feel a chill down my spine.

"I just called Team Xiao."

"Stop, I don't care who you call, and I don't care what you want to do. I will never be with you. I made a pause gesture.

Obviously not listening to me, Li Jing continued: "Team Xiao, they have already decided to take on this case. Because we feel that the information collected at the scene is still not comprehensive enough, we need to provide more detailed information on the scene as eyewitnesses. After a while, you adjust your mood, and we have to go back to the cinema. ”

"Why am I going with you, you can see it much better than I do." I pouted.

"But you're also an eyewitness, aren't you? No one proves you didn't see anything, huh? Li Jing blinked, and it took me a long time to calm down before I suppressed the urge to punch over.

"By the way, Mr. Lu, who took you to see last time, and Fang Shihao, who helped last time, both of them have moved to Beijing now, and they were specially invited by Team Xiao." Li Jing added.

"What are they doing here?"

"Shi Hao was recommended by me to come over for technical support. Mr. Lu studied criminal psychology at the University of Maryland, College Park in the United States, and has been teaching in the Department of Psychology of our university since returning to China, teaching behavioral evidence analysis. During his tenure as a teacher, Mr. Lu helped Team Xiao in several cases, and Team Xiao trusted him very much. When Li Jing talked about Teacher Lu, there was pride on his face that could not be concealed.

Half an hour later, Li Jing and I walked out of the café, and Li Jing helped me sort out the scarf around my neck. I watched him not speak, and I guess he knew I was sulking right now. Pushing open the glass door of the movie theater, I saw Team Xiao coming over to greet us, and he said that he had just arrived. Also coming over was Mr. Lu, who helped us last time.

The screening room was cordoned off, and we came to the place where the body had fallen, and there was no blood in the place where it fell. Before Team Xiao arrived, police officers had already found a secret door in the ceiling, and at the same time checked the biological reaction on the secret door. As we passed, several police officers were taking fingerprints nearby.

Team Xiao pointed to the hole in the ceiling and asked the manager on duty, "What is the dark room in your ceiling for?" ”

"It used to be an opera house, and that screening room was originally intended for a reserved program of that theater, not only on the ceiling of the stage, but also on the ceiling of the entire screening room, there was a dark room, and there was a secret door above the auditorium." The manager on duty may have been stupefied by this sudden event, and was a little stumbling when answering.

"What kind of fixture?"

"It's like it's called 'fantasy kung fu', and it is said that during a show, an actor jumps from the air onto the stage or in the corridor of the auditorium, or leans out half of his body above the audience. The show was a hit in theaters at the time. When we took over later, we also thought about repeating the show at some festival, so we didn't modify the dark room on the ceiling, but we didn't expect that to happen. The manager had a look of remorse on his face.

Frowning, Team Xiao asked, "Do you know about the dark room?" ”

The manager nodded: "It's not a secret, everyone who works here knows it." ”

"Give us all your employee information, including departures, and their contact information."

"You can't be someone who suspects our theater of murder, do you?" Probably afraid that the theater would be affected even worse, the manager's attitude at this time was a bit tough.

"Until we investigate, all the people here are suspicious, so please don't leave the city in the near future, we need your cooperation at any time." Team Xiao looked directly into the eyes of the theater manager, who stood there for a long time without speaking, and then turned around and went to his office.
