Several meeting rooms in the lobby on the first floor of the museum serve as makeshift dressing rooms, where the actors prepare before the show. Before the performance began, Shi Qi suddenly ran to the dressing room where Mu Qingcheng was and called her out. "Li Dong's girlfriend came to bring him a love bento and beautiful soup, but the phone couldn't get through, so I asked me to help bring it to him. But I didn't see Li Dong, I'm from the props team, and I'm about to play, are you free now, help me find it. ”

Mu Qingcheng's role is not heavy, and his appearance time is relatively late, so he still has some free time at this time, so he agreed.

On duty at the entrance of the hall on the first floor was the security guard Lin Ming, Li Dong was not yet off work, but it was said that he had something to ask for something temporarily, so he called Lin Ming, who took over later, to come in advance and help him for a while. Mu Qingcheng carried a bento box and a large thermos pot of soup and searched around, and finally found Li Dong in the innermost lounge on the first floor. The lounge and several meeting rooms are lined up, and in the small conference room next to it, several of the main actors are making final preparations before the stage.

Li Dong was still wearing a security uniform, with his back to the door, sitting on a chair and not moving, not knowing what he was doing.

"Li Dong." Mu Qingcheng shouted.

Li Dong seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly turned around.

Mu Qingcheng looked at him suspiciously. "Your girlfriend sent a love bento and beautiful soup, and I searched around to find you."

"Thank you, thank you!" Li Dong hurriedly trotted over and took the lunch box and thermos pot from Mu Qingcheng's hand.

Mu Qingcheng's time was also very urgent, and he left without staying long.

On the square outside the museum, the night is low, and the ladies of the Southern Tang Dynasty who carry lanterns to welcome the guests take the guests through the paths and corridors, sit and rest in the temporary pavilions, enjoy the moon and the breeze, taste the fragrant tea and elegant banquet, listen to the thousand-year-old ancient music of Nanyin, and enjoy the graceful pear garden dance.

The large-scale classical pear garden opera "Han Xizai Night Banquet" will be staged in the live stage of water and sky, combined with modern first-class stage, lighting design, as well as well-designed costumes and elegant shapes, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will be brought to life, and the flowing water corridor pavilion will integrate digital screens, Nanyin ancient music, pear garden dance, with screens, beds, lamps and other antique furniture, creating a classical environment combining real scenery and painting. The audience seemed to travel through a time and space tunnel, walked into the painting, and became the guests of Han Xizai's night banquet. At the same time, the tea ceremony, flower arrangement, and incense ceremony are blended into the plot, so that people who sit on the couch and watch the plot can enjoy the treatment of tasting good tea and smelling strange fragrances like the guests of Han Xizai thousands of years ago.

The first performance was unprecedented, including Zhong Chun, Cheng Yijie, Yu Qingsheng, Gu Hengyu and other main persons in charge of museums and Qikun Art City, and celebrities in the literary and artistic circles were also invited to watch the performance. Xie Jiaqiang, Wan Lun, Wei Kezheng, and Zhong Jinxiang were all among the invited guests. Chen Yanjin and Chen Yufei also came together. Even Cheng Lang rarely put down Xu Youran for the time being, and came to watch the famous painting "Resurrection", he arrived alone with a camera on his back, and he looked alone in the bustling crowd.

Cheng Yijie and He Muxuan came together, the two came late, and when they were about to enter, they suddenly heard a commotion behind them, and when they turned around, they saw the female star Fan Shaoqi being surrounded by several people, she always had such a big pomp. Fan Shaoqi also saw Cheng Yijie and walked towards him in a swaying manner. Soon a fragrant wind mixed with the smell of fat powder and perfume came to his face, Cheng Yijie frowned slightly, he didn't like it, and even hated this kind of contrived fragrance, Mu Qingcheng usually never wore makeup, nor did she wear perfume, but she had the fragrance of cinnabar plum, which always made him feel refreshed.

"Cheng Dashen, don't come unharmed." Fan Shaoqi seems to have forgotten the unpleasantness that happened outside the hotel elevator last time, and still behaves so charmingly and sultry.

"Fan Daxing is still so amorous." Cheng Yijie also responded politely.

Fan Shaoqi's seductive eyes turned at him, and a charming smile rose at the corner of his mouth. "Cheng Dashen, I recently encountered a troublesome matter, if I can't solve it, I may need your help, are you willing to help me?"

Cheng Yijie looked at her indifferently, not knowing what kind of moth this woman was going to make.

"I'm really in trouble." Fan Shaoqi's tone revealed a hint of resentment, "The great god still holds a grudge, a big man, is it interesting to worry about my little woman?" ”

Cheng Yijie still looked at her coldly. "What do you want me to help you with?"

"It's not the time yet, I'll figure it out for myself first." Fan Shaoqi said with a sad look, trembling slightly and pitifully, "If I need your help then, I hope you don't refuse, because at that time, you will be the last straw for me, and I also believe that Cheng Dashen will not die without help." ”

She didn't wait for Cheng Yijie's reply, she turned around and stepped away from the beautiful legs wrapped in black mesh stockings, and walked away in high heels. At this time, it is winter, although the temperature in Xilin is still relatively high these days, but at night he is still wearing short skirts and stockings, which can also be called a beautiful "frozen" person.

He Muxuan had been silent beside him, and after watching Fan Shaoqi leave, he let out a contemptuous laugh. "That woman, she is so pretentious that she feels disgusting to watch."

Cheng Yijie smiled and put his hand on his shoulder. "As long as it's a woman who is interested in me, you will definitely not like it."

He Muxuan clenched his fists and slapped him lightly, with exaggerated body movements, twisted his waist, swung his hips, and said angrily: "You are so annoying!" ”

Not far away, a pair of gloomy eyes are watching their every move under the cover of night, and a curtain of sin is also opening at the same time as this feast of traditional Chinese aesthetics.

At 7:30 p.m., the show officially began. The whole play is divided into six acts: "Groaning", "Blowing", "Listening to Music", "Resting", "Watching Dance" and "Loose Banquet", which can be called a feast of sight, hearing, smell and taste. The "sleeping" thousand-year-old Chinese legendary painting "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is stunningly "resurrected", like a dreamlike song and dance, and the clear sound between the water and the sky, all of which reproduce the luxurious and moving scenes painted by the great painter Gu Hong of the fifth generation, and pour the audience to the full.

The stage at the beginning is in harmony with the artistic conception of the original painting. The performance not only restored the ancient style of song and dance music, but also showed some details of court life at that time, such as flower arrangement, wine serving and so on. Each character has its own changes, which is very attractive, and it is not monotonous at all, and the whole seems to come out of the painting. There is a performance of many beauties passing hydrangea frolicking, and the woman holding the hydrangea in the middle is Han Xizai's pet Wang Wushan, played by Yang Xirou. The costume design is very good, just looking at Yang Xirou's style, as soft and elegant as all the other geisha, the skirt is not more gorgeous than others, but in a piece of pink purple and rouge, then a touch of green suddenly becomes the focus, firmly attracting the audience's attention.

Cheng Lang's eyes were also attracted by Yang Xirou, and he pointed the professional camera in his hand at her, "clicking" and shooting.

Mu Qingcheng only appeared in the second act, and performed the interpretation of Nanyin's body movements with many other actresses. In addition to blowing, playing, playing, and singing, Nanyin also has many vivid body language, and compared with the solemn atmosphere of Peking Opera, the image of Nanyin is more graceful and soft. During the performance, the actors' expressions are very subtle, and they are opposite to the audience's eyes, which can make people feel like a dream.

Cheng Yijie and He Muxuan's minds were actually not on the performance, they quietly paid attention to the movements around them. But after Mu Qingcheng appeared, Cheng Yijie couldn't help but look at the stage a few more times. Joining them was Chen Yufei, who had come as an ordinary spectator, but with the sensitivity of the criminal police, she had a hunch that it would be an unusual night. The first public display of the Song Ren's copy of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" reminds her of the successive cases that have occurred one after another, and although the museum has taken sufficient security measures, she still has a strong sense of uneasiness, always feeling that something big will happen tonight.

During the performance, Mu Qingcheng almost found the wrong position for a while, and when the actors changed the queue many times before, they all looked at a screen on the left side of the back of the stage, and she was the team leader. There had never been a mistake in the previous times, but this time, for some reason, the position of the screen seemed to be wrong. Fortunately, she also had some stage experience, so she immediately gave up the screen, relied on her own visual judgment to find the right position, and led the rest of the actors to complete the performance smoothly and leave the stage perfectly.

They returned to the backstage from the right side of the stage, walked through the makeshift walkway for the off-stage actors, and returned to the lobby on the first floor of the museum. It was still Lin Ming on duty, and Mu Qingcheng greeted him.

"Li Dong doesn't know what he's doing, and he won't go back until now." Lin Ming muttered.

"He's not gone yet?" Mu Qingcheng was surprised, it had been almost two hours since she delivered the lunch, why hadn't she left yet. She suddenly remembered that Li Dong's behavior seemed to be a little strange when she sent the toilet, so she said to Lin Ming, "I'll go to the lounge to have a look", and walked to the lounge alone after speaking, while several other actors returned to the actor's dressing room on the same side as the lounge.

The door of the lounge was closed, Mu Qingcheng knocked on the door, no one answered, she tried to turn the doorknob, the door opened, she looked inside, someone was lying upright on the ground and did not move, and when she looked closely, she almost fell to the ground, Li Dongyuan opened his eyes, his face was stiff, and he was very terrifying. She staggered out and called Lin Ming. Lin Ming was bold, squatted down to test his snort, he was no longer breathing, he immediately called the Municipal Public Security Bureau Cultural Protection Office in the museum security office to report the case.

Mu Qingcheng glanced around in horror, the lunch box she sent was placed on the table next to Li Dong, the meal was basically not touched, and a pair of chopsticks fell to the ground. It seems that he suddenly died of poison while eating, could it be...... Poisonous meals? A chill hit her bone, and she shivered.
