Chapter 5 The Auditorium
Zhou Erya has been looking below, and when she heard this, she said: "The equipment room on the third and a half floors was originally in a protruding position, and this section of stairs was added for convenience, which was inconsistent with the original architectural style, and the cement used was different. Because of the high floors, short spacing, and the narrow stairs of each floor, design flaws are inevitable. β
Zhou Erya had already noticed the narrow width of the stairs.
From this point of view, it increases the possibility that Bai Fei is stumbling and falling.
"Indeed, the width of each staircase is not as wide as my feet......" Han Yu walked very carefully, for fear of falling down.
"Still, it's a little weird." Zhou Erya touched her chin and said.
Murong was already waiting for Han Yu on the platform at the door, the platform was also quite narrow, Han Yu stood sideways next to her, stomped her feet, and reached out to try to open the wooden door of the equipment room.
The lock made a rusty click, but it didn't open.
"It's locked." Murong said, "After the accident, the school locked off all of this place, if I didn't insist on investigating, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to enter here." β
"What then?" Han Yu turned his head to look at Zhou Erya, helpless.
The school really didn't intend to cooperate at all, although they agreed to their investigation, but they kept telling them all kinds of precautions, and they didn't even give them the key to the equipment room at this time.
"I'll go find the person in charge and bring the key." Murong said immediately.
"There's no hurry."
The first time he inspected the scene, he didn't need to be so meticulous - in fact, Zhou Erya's inspection of the scene didn't seem to be so meticulous all along, he casually observed the spacing and height of the stairs, thoughtful.
"Let's take a look at the activity room."
When Murong heard this, he immediately walked down the stairs lightly: "Over here." β
Han Yu cautiously came down the stairs, always feeling unstable on his footing, so that he who had always believed in science couldn't help but look back twiceβof course, there could be no so-called ghosts.
Murong You, the key to the troupe's activity room, opened the door lock, because the light inside was too dark, and turned on the light again.
When the light filled the room, Zhou Erya walked in slowly and looked around.
The room is small, but the door on the other side connects to the school's auditorium, which is also the stage for the company's performances, and from here you can directly access the backstage.
The main door of the auditorium was at the other end, about thirty or forty meters away from the activity room.
"The auditorium is not small and can accommodate more students, but with the current number of students at the women's university, it is not easy to fill it."
Han Yu pushed open the small door leading to the backstage, walked onto the stage and looked forward, and said.
"There are 300 seats here, and there are seats arranged in the surrounding space, so it is not difficult to accommodate thousands of people." Murong nodded and said.
At present, there are more than 100 students in the women's university, and the enrollment is strict, so there is no possibility of a sudden increase.
Therefore, in such a big school, there is always a feeling of lack of yang energy and gloomy coldness in some corners.
"Do you usually rehearse and perform here?" Han Yu asked.
Murong nodded: "Usually the troupe rehearses here, so you don't need to go to the equipment room upstairs." Only the lights and props need to go up occasionally, and Bai Fei, as the heroine, really doesn't need to go up this staircase. β
"I'll go backstage and have a look." Han Yu said to Zhou Erya, took a turn in the background and found nothing abnormal.
Zhou Erya's dark eyes were dark, and she looked at everything quietly.
This is the biggest doubt in this case.
What is Bai Fei doing there?
"You can also see that Bai Fei usually doesn't go there at all, and even if there is any need, he will let the people in the props team get it, and even ...... will let An Lin, who is with her, get it. "Murong knows Bai Fei's Miss Jiao's character.
Although most of the people who can study at women's universities are young ladies from wealthy families, there are also grades of wealth, for example, she belongs to the top rich female students.
Therefore, the dean of academic affairs could not refuse her request.
Of course, Murong is not a pampered and arrogant person, she is usually very low-key and studious, polite and gentle, and has won a lot of favor from everyone.
"We'll talk about that later."
Zhou Erya walked backstage and ascended the stage from the stairs on the left.
The opposite door was open, and there was light coming in, and although the lights were dazzling overhead, some corners of the stage were blocked by curtains, and it was still a little dark.
Avoiding curtains and tassels, he stood in the center of the stage, squinting his eyes and looking down.
Murong looked up at him, the light was shining on his soft and angular but three-dimensional face, wearing a straight suit without a trace of wrinkles, handsome and tall, like a prince charming who walked out of a fairy tale.
If you have to find any shortcomings, it is probably that his eyes and face are cold, cold, and without any temperature.
Although he is gentle and elegant, he doesn't see much affection.
But this makes his temperament even more lonely, and people can't help but secretly take a few more glances at the face that is even better than the star.
Murong suddenly realized that he was attracted by his unique and charming face, and immediately looked away, silently disdainful in his heart, what good is this kind of son-in-law who is full of eccentricities on the outside?
And Han Yu was also staring at Zhou Erya on the stage.
He is really suitable for the spotlight on his body, standing alone on the stage, like a god with light.
It's just that...... To be a god is too lonely, too lonely.
In the light shrouded in Zhou Erya's body, there are countless loneliness and mysteries that others can't touch.
Han Yu only hopes that one day, there will be a few more people on the stage next to him, even if there is one more person, it will be better than him standing there alone.
Zhou Erya stood on it and glanced at the auditorium.
The auditorium was empty at this time, and the chairs were piled aside, and dozens of rows of chairs could be lowered during the performance.
Because of the sudden death of the heroine, the school was opposed to the activities of the troupe, and the rehearsal of the play was stopped, and the performance was far away.
"Do you have a list of the troupe?"
Zhou Erya looked at it for a while and asked Murong.
Murong nodded: "Yes, here." β
She took out a list from the schoolbag she was carrying, and there was a bit of hope on her face: "Do you suspect that the murderer is in the troupe?" β
It is still impossible to find out the cause of Bai Fei's death, and it is impossible to determine whether it was an accident or murder, but Zhou Erya said that it was an "accident" at least after he did not come, which also means that he has no objection to his judgment.
"If it's really a homicide, then of course the closest person is the most suspicious."
Zhou Erya's tone was calm, her eyes were dark, but her words did not carry a trace of emotion.
It's cold...... When he was investigating the case, he always used this kind of ruthless indifference to get out of the way to peel off the cocoon.
Although it is right not to be affected by subjective feelings and to remain reasonable, it is inevitable that people feel cold if they are too calm, especially in the face of the loss of fresh life, without a trace of emotion, which makes people feel that this person's heart is terrible.
"You're right." Murong didn't want to explore this man's heart, so she restrained her thoughts, "I'm also a member of the troupe, so you can start investigating from me." β
When Han Yu heard this, she was stunned, looked at Murong's expression carefully, and made sure that she was not angry with Zhou Erya's investigation, so she took the list in her hand and confirmed again: "Miss Mu, you are also a member of the troupe?" β
"Yes, I've been a member of the troupe for more than two years, and I'm an old member." Murong said with a wry smile.
Campus theater troupes, especially those of women's colleges, are relatively socially simple, and they usually have very few contacts, and because of the strict school rules, the boys from the outside world are isolated from the high walls.
Bai Fei, as the heroine, usually interacts with insiders the most.
Han Yu flipped through the list, there were about seven or eight members of the backbone of the troupe, and the registration was quite detailed, and the first one was Miss Murong who came to find them.
It was also the first time he saw some detailed information about Murong at school, it turned out that Murong was only nineteen years old and was already a junior student, but he also looked like that kind of flower girl.
Thinking of such a vibrant future flower and bones, to be married to an "old man" who is nearly ten years older than her in an arranged marriage, Han Yu felt that she really needed to think about it.
Although someone looks handsome and handsome, he is lifeless on weekdays, and only likes to eat desserts in his study, and compared with these bright and lovely girls, he is as deep and boring as his parents......
Han Yu took a cursory look at the information and handed it to Zhou Erya, his face was a little ugly: "Come and see." β
After Zhou Erya took it, she took a closer look.
He knew why Han Yu looked weird, because Murong was originally the heroine of this troupe, if you look at the relationship between the murderers, Murong is also suspicious, of course, Han Yu may not think so, but it is simply difficult to speak for this relationship.
After all, Han Yu was a person who couldn't hide his thoughts, so he gave him the list.
"You used to be the heroine." Zhou Erya really asked calmly.
"Two years ago, after joining the troupe, I was originally the heroine, but later because Bai Fei also joined, I began to play the role of a supporting actress." Murong replied very calmly, and he didn't see any displeasure.
"Hmm." Zhou Erya nodded, dotted Murong's form with a red pen, and then folded it and put it aside.
"Do you suspect Miss Murong?" Han Yu didn't expect these two people to be able to ask and answer questions so calmly, just in terms of personality, they were really a natural pair!
But imagine that Murong is Zhou Erya's fiancΓ©e, and at the same time, she is also the one who came to seek to solve the case, if she is the murderer, she will come to them when she is full?
"Don't have any preconceived notions until you know the truth." Zhou Erya replied lightly.
Murong was not angry, but there was a hint of appreciation in his clear eyes: "That's right, if it's just a case, just a matter of facts, if you want to investigate me, I will fully cooperate." β
"But...... Miss Murong came to report the case, if it weren't for her, the patrol room and the school would have treated it as an accident......" Han Yu couldn't help but say.
Zhou Erya ignored him, and just glanced at Murong with appreciation: "Miss Murong doesn't mind that it's the best, after all, it can't be ruled out that some murderers deliberately came to report the case, and it can't be ruled out that Miss Bai Fei's family will not believe the words of the patrol room and insist on investigating, based on these points, Miss Murong, as the heroine who was robbed, of course, also has her suspicions." β
