Yikes——! ”

On the stage of the Bund Theater, in the water tank of the mermaid performance, the acrobatic troupe girl who temporarily played the mermaid escaped from the water screaming, and as the lights turned on, a corpse floated in the red water tank.

The poignant scene completely destroyed the show, and all the audience members were frightened to their feet, and the police, who had been secretly watching, rushed onto the stage.

"What's going on?"

"Don't move! Don't move! No one can go out! ”

A detective climbed onto the tank and unveiled the mask on the corpse's face with a solemn expression.

Shot again, and the tongue was cut out.

The deceased was a foreign woman from the acrobatic troupe, who has been in charge of fish performances for several years, but today I don't know why there was a temporary replacement.

"Call the medical examiner!"

"The murderer should still be here, block the exit!"

Gao Cheng ran to the front of the stage as soon as possible, but was stopped along with the others, only to see the dazzling red in the water tank and the corpse in costume.

This is not Tokyo, and he has no right to participate in the investigation, so he can only look around the tank through the crowd.

The corpse appeared suddenly, and it was supposed to have fallen into it, but the area around the tank was not wet with the splashed water......

Gao Cheng's gaze turned to the colorful ropes hanging down from the water tank to decorate the stage, and these ropes seemed to be connected to the scenery behind the performance, rising and falling in reverse.

The only way to make the corpse suddenly appear in the tank when the lights are off and the scenery is changed seems to be through these ropes.

Gao Cheng quickly scanned the scene past the police.

The murderer must be a member of the acrobatic troupe......

"Officer!" Hearing the movement, Fujido rushed to the stage in a panic, "How, how?" ”

"Now the entire ship is to be searched, including everyone on board."

The police didn't have a good face for Fujido, the person in charge.

There had already been a murder, and the Bund Theater should not continue to perform, and this guy insisted on causing such a big trouble.

There were so many people on the scene that it took a lot of time just to search the body.

Gao Cheng and Uncle Maori waited in line for a search, and Yuan Zi whispered: "Miss Nishimura said that the police came to investigate this week, and suspected that the only son of the head of the regiment who did not have an alibi was the murderer, but the murder weapon has not been found. ”

"Pistol?" Gao Cheng saw that the police used metal detectors.

"Well, it seems to be an American-style talisman pistol, and it's only the size of a palm......"

"Our people have been outside, so there is no possibility that the prisoner threw the murder weapon into the river," a police officer reported to Officer Li, who led the investigation, backstage of the acrobatic troupe, "and there was no sign of external invasion, the audience was only allowed to leave after checking their bodies, and all the inside of the theater were searched, and no murder weapon was found......

"If you want me to say," Uncle Maori looked at everything, and probably guessed the current situation, "the security check here is also terrible, and it actually let people bring guns in three times or twice." ”

"It's not that you brought a gun, but that gun was here in the first place," Gao Cheng shook his head, "whether it was a week ago or this time, the murderer used the same pistol." ”

Officer Li happened to pass by, heard Gao Cheng and several people talking, and also questioned in Japanese: "You said it's the same pistol?" How can it be? We have been investigating carefully for a week, and although the murder weapon is the same type of pistol, it should have been thrown into the Huangpu River through the toilet window......"

"But you didn't find it this time, did you?" Gao Cheng converted into Chinese and got up and said, "You can't throw it into the river this time, right?" ”

"This ......" Officer Li looked a little embarrassed, regardless of how much he thought about Gao Cheng's standard Mandarin.

There were police officers outside, and of course no one threw anything through the window.

"As long as you identify it, you will know," Gao Cheng analyzed, "If the murderer wants to prepare another gun, the pistol in the first murder does not need to be hidden at all, just throw it at the scene, and the reason why it cannot be found is because the murderer is ready to hide it and continue to use it." ”

"Sounds reasonable," Officer Li frowned, "the truth is that there is no murder weapon on the ship......"

"It's just that I haven't found it," Gao Cheng couldn't help but plead, "Officer, can you let me assist in the investigation?" Maybe ......"

"Don't get in the way of handling the case if you have nothing to do with it," Officer Li paused on Gao Cheng's face, "You're Cheng Cheng of the city, right?" I heard about you when I was studying in Japan, but there is no room for you to interfere in this case, and this is not Tokyo. ”

Gao Cheng watched the police leave unexpectedly.

In this case, you can only collect clues by yourself, but fortunately, there are your own people in the acrobatic troupe.

The performance ended hastily, and the people in the ship's circus looked unusually gloomy, even though the police had left, and the night passed.

The next day.

"Everyone thinks it's a curse of the fish-people," explained Nishimura Shiho, a riverside hotel on Zhonghua Road, "The mask when he killed the regiment leader was spring, and then this time it was summer, and then there was autumn and winter ...... later."

"Miss Nishimura," Gao Cheng interrupted, "What's the matter with the curse of the fish-man and the revenge of Silan?" ”

"Do you know that?" Nishimura Shiho didn't hide it, "Silan is a former member of the troupe here, and she was promoted to the protagonist of the fishman game six years ago, because she can potentially be in the water for more than 5 minutes, and the fishman game project quickly became a big hit and became the finale, plus she is very beautiful in itself, Silan has become the chief star of the acrobatic troupe, but ......"

"But?"

The uncle was still immersed in the blow of Gao Chenghui's Chinese, and he couldn't slow down, and he didn't even move his chopsticks for the hairy crab he had always wanted to eat, and he only diverted his attention when he heard "beautiful".

"One day after the performance," Nishimura Shiho said regretfully, "Silan's makeup remover was replaced with concentrated sulfuric acid, and half of her face was burned, and she never appeared in front of everyone again, until she committed suicide by the Huangpu River with a small pistol, leaving a curse spell, and the body and pistol have not been found until now." ”

Yuan Zi and Xiaolan hugged each other again: "Spell, spell...... Isn't it possible that Silan's ghost will come for revenge? ”

"It's not clear yet," Nishimura shook his head, "but the death of the head of the regiment is exactly the same as the curse, and the four masks of spring, summer, autumn and winter that Silan used to perform in the past are also missing." ”

Saying that, Nishimura opened the photo on his phone and said, "This is the curse left by Silan." ”

In the photo, there are slightly weird blood letters, which seem to have a great deal of resentment.

"The belly of the fish is dead, the soul of the deep sea screams, the spring thunder twists the left ear, the summer Yan pinches the tongue, the right eye of Qiu Lan is pulled, the winter cold skin is scorched, the pear orchard is burned, and the zombie revenge is ......"

Gao Cheng kept a photo backup.

The spring and summer curses did fit, and the two of them trembled with fright, but in his opinion, it was obvious that someone had just borrowed this curse in order to hide their true motives.

There are a lot of questions overall.

He didn't know about the first case, but this time the prisoner left a lot of traces.

There were a lot of blood stains at the scene, all of which were caused by the prisoner's forcible removal of the body, and the police have not noticed it for the time being, that is, why the prisoner took such great trouble to move the body.
