Chapter 100 on the game of cat and mouse
Around 10 p.m. on September 16, 2013
The interior of the amphitheater on the fifth floor of the Secluded Rose Hotel
Mero is surprised that Oda suddenly starts helping 'Yun Ya Haruka' speak, and no longer thinks the actor is crazy.
For this reason, Meile opened her mouth and urged Oda to find a way to transmit signals downstairs several times, but Oda pretended to ignore the past, and 'Yun Yeyao' also began to ignore her and not talk to her, which made Meru, who did not have much sense of danger, very angry.
She sat alone at the entrance of the auditorium, watching 'Yun Ye Yao' direct Oda to search for the so-called big box everywhere, and she didn't believe that anything would come of them.
Just when Merlot was looking around with nothing to do, she suddenly felt that the hem of her skirt seemed to be hooked by something, and it was so tightly hooked that she moved her body and couldn't break free at all, and she couldn't help frowning.
I thought to myself that it would have been a hassle to put on such a dress. Now that there is no way to change back into her original clothes, Merlot feels very annoyed.
In order to surpass Meihua, she seized every opportunity to practice secretly, but now, if she doesn't go out, what will the people in the garden outside do? She was really worried.
The help of her heart made Merlot's temper irritate, and she began to pull her skirt with all her might, not worrying that it might be torn. Anyway, Luo Yifan has money, so let him customize the costumes again.
However, the sensation of pulling at the hem of her skirt frightened Merlot: it was not like hanging on a nail or a hook or something, but like a pair of hands were fighting against her, pulling at the hem of her skirt in the opposite direction.
The little girl stood up abruptly, and looked under the seat with beautiful eyes, all the seats in this theater were comfortable sofa chairs, and the chairs were wide and thick-edged, so that there was no way to see the bottom of the chairs without standing up.
Merlot's dark pupils suddenly met a pair of slightly reddened eyes, and the man on the ground kept blinking, Merlot almost screamed, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
Of course, there is a reason why she almost screamed, because Merlot mistook the man she saw for Luo Yifan. But it's no wonder who made her see a pair of reddened pupils at first sight? This is standard for the boss.
But when she looked closely, Merlot almost didn't fall out of the audience, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You, who are you?" What are you hiding here? ”
Because of fear, Merlot's voice was very sharp, and she completely lost the beauty and grace of her singing just now.
Mo Haiyou and Xiao Tian heard Mei Le's exclamation, and the two of them turned around and ran towards the audience at the same time, and Xiao Tian, who was rushing in front, shouted loudly: "Miss Mei Le!" What happened?!! Don't be afraid, we'll be right over!! From his anxious tone, he could tell that Oda really cared about Merak.
At this time, Mo Haiyou stopped halfway because the mobile phone hidden in his pocket was vibrating. Mo Haiyou took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly turned around to check.
A few seconds later, Mo Haiyou, who had his back to Xiao Tian and Meile, had a more gloomy face than just now, it was a text message from the teacher, and it seemed that the situation was far more serious than he imagined. In the text message, Nian Yu revealed the identities of the two people to him, and these two people had infiltrated the hotel at the moment and hid them.
One of them should be in this amphitheater!
Mo Haiyou turned his body again, his eyes swept to the person opposite, at this moment, Xiao Tian had already helped Meile out of the audience, Xiao Tian's height should be about the same as himself, but it may be due to the relationship between bending over and fiddling with the equipment, he always likes to hunch his back slightly and bend his knees.
The original two people on the other side of the audience have now become three, and one of them is still standing between the seats, due to the relationship between the height of the ground and the railing, Mo Haiyou has no way to judge how tall that person is at once.
This man has a boxy face with small eyebrows and small eyes, and he looks much uglier than Oda, but his expression is very honest, and he feels like a worker. His shoulders and upper body are broad, and he wears much more shabby overalls than Oda's, and the style is completely different.
'Who are these two workers?' People who work in the same place don't wear different work clothes. Mo Haiyou secretly speculated and approached the direction of the three people.
As he got closer, he heard the man standing in the audience begin to introduce himself. "My name is Yan Feng, and I'm a worker here."
"Workers? Then why haven't I seen you? And why are you hiding under the audience to be scary? Xiao Tian's questioning voice was very stern, and Mo Haiyou couldn't help but look at him with a little curiosity.
Yan Feng looked very anxious, he kept blinking his eyes and said, "I don't know either!" I was about to leave the theater when I turned off the lights on the edge of the auditorium, and I don't know who threw something under the seat here, and you knew that if something went wrong, the person in charge would deduct our wages. So I wanted to see what was being thrown away, and if it was a part that had fallen, I had to find the damaged part and install it immediately. ”
"But just as I bent down and squatted down, I seemed to smell a strange smell? And then nothing is known. As he spoke, Yan Feng rubbed the corners of his eyes vigorously with his hands.
Mo Hai glanced at the corner of his eye and immediately interjected: "Don't rub it anymore, it's already inflamed there, and the more you rub it, the more serious it gets." Then he walked up to Miss Merlot and asked, "Miss Merlot, do you have a clean handkerchief?" ”
"Ugh! Yes, you wait a minute. Merlot was now confused by the succession of events, and she was no longer pretentious, reaching out and groping in the folds of her skirt, which turned out to be some small hidden pockets that could hold the essentials of an actor.
Pulling out a silk handkerchief from one of the small pockets, Merlot handed it to Mo Haiyou.
After Mo Haiyou took the handkerchief, he walked up to Yan Feng and said, "Here, wiping your eyes with this is much better than your dirty hands." Be careful not to rub it too hard, it will hurt the cornea. ”
"Thank you, thank you." After Yan Feng thanked him very sincerely, he still stood there at a loss, maybe he really didn't know what was going on in front of him, he was a little worker who wanted to get off work.
Xiao Tian asked Mo Haiyou: "Do you believe him?" ”
Mo Haiyou said: "I don't know, let's let him be with us for the time being." ”
"But what if he attacks us?" Xiao Tian still refuses to give up.
His words made Yan Feng very angry, and he said loudly: "I am really a worker here, and I should have been off work a long time ago, how can I have this idle time to attack you?" ”
"He's right, Oda, let's take care of ourselves."
Mo Haiyou's words began to be incomprehensible again, but because of what he showed himself just now, Xiao Tian didn't have many seizures, so he could only keep his mouth shut.
He pulled Miss Merlot to his side, glared fiercely at Yan Feng, who was still standing in the audience, and the two of them walked towards the other side of the theater. As he walked, Oda promised, "Miss Merle, don't worry, I will definitely protect you!" ”
But Meru behind him frowned, and those good-looking eyes kept glancing at Yan Feng in the audience, as if he knew this person, but there was no way to tell his identity.
Mo Haiyou chose another direction and walked to the curtain behind the stage, the isolated Yan Feng couldn't figure out what was going on, he shouted at Mo Haiyou: "Hey, this gentleman, who are you?" What happened? ”
"The elevator in this theater is out of power, and now there is no way to go down at all, we are trying to find a way to contact the below, do you have a mobile phone?" Mo Haiyou stopped and asked him.
'If you can't just ask!' I had to open my mouth to ask. Yan Feng was a little dissatisfied, but he still replied honestly, "No, I left my phone and things at the counter of the café below." ”
Hearing Yan Feng's words, Mo Hai waved his hand right and said, "Then you can sit in the audience for a while, wait for the matter to be resolved, and I will tell you what happened!" ”
After saying that, don't care what Yanfeng's reaction is? Mo Haiyou jumped to the top of the stage.
At this time, he looked from the back, and the star protagonist on the stage was no different, tall and slender, soft and slightly messy hair hung down on the back of his head, showing a little back of his neck between his hair and the neckline of his suit, his steps were calm and elegant, and he had long since lost the little panic that he showed in an instant just now.
The direction in which Mo Hai walked on the right was the small space behind the curtain where Merle had stayed, probably wanting to see if there was something hidden behind the curtain he was looking for. However, this action attracted Merle's attention, and the little girl turned her gaze back from Iwamine, with a strange look in her pupils.
Mo Haiyou's move undoubtedly shows that he is also suspicious of Meile, any girl with an arrogant temperament can't help but be angry about this, and Meile is certainly no exception!
"Mr. Yun seems to be suspicious of even the two of us!"
Meile suddenly opened her mouth and stunned Xiao Tian, who was about to start the search again, for a moment, and then said, "Maybe Mr. Yun just doesn't want to miss any places, don't think nonsense." ”
"There's just a little space under the last curtain on the stage, and he should have seen it all when I came out, so why should I check it again? It simply shows that he has been suspecting that the two of us have done something bad! Merle was obviously lying, and when she came out from behind the curtain, she carefully lifted it only a little, and Mo Haiyou was under the stage at the time, so it was impossible to see it all.
Xiao Tian thought for a while and said, "Miss Merle, wait and see, anyway, the clear ones will clear themselves, and no matter what happens, the truth will be revealed in the end." ”
"Humph!" Merlot turned her head dissatisfied, Oda had also heard that the two young ladies were willful, so she didn't say anything more, but continued to carefully rummage through the props to see if there were any boxes that had not been painted and had small holes in them.
Yan Feng in the distance had already run to the elevator to confirm what Mo Haiyou said, and now he was sitting in the first row of the audience with his head down, waiting for Mo Haiyou to find a way to contact the downstairs.
——
The sky outside had been smeared with thick ink, and the people who had attended the party had already gone home, and this time the party was of course unpleasant, and the guests who had hurried to the party were very angry!
Because not only the host of the day, Miss Merle, but even the host and Ms. Fan, who entertained the guests, did not show up after eight o'clock, and left them all hanging on the Flower Sea Square, and in the end they didn't even serve drinks. It's like being played like a monkey.
Of course, no one can stand this, especially those who have a head, a face and a fame. So before nine o'clock the crowd scattered and went home in a huff. Some of them are also going to complain to the contracted company of Meihua Meile the next day and return the tickets they purchased for the stage play.
Most of the people in the hotel were people and fans who were going to watch the show a few days later, but it didn't hurt much.
As soon as ten o'clock passed, the hotel lobby fell silent. Everyone went back to their rooms to watch TV and rest, leaving only the night attendants busy cleaning up the hall and game area, cleaning up the mess.
As for the amphitheater, everyone thought it should have been sealed, so no one paid attention to it and checked it.
The café downstairs of the theater is a 24-hour shop, and although it is so late, there are still customers drinking coffee and chatting in it, and the café begins to play gentle piano music in order to cater to the romantic atmosphere at midnight.
But the waiter on the night shift didn't have the heart to listen to these things, his eyes kept glancing in the direction of the elevator, as if he was worried about something? Fingers tapped uncomfortably under the counter.
Zooming in, we can see that the waiter's face has a sense of déjà vu, and upon closer inspection, it is actually quite similar to the 'Wei Jun' who appeared in front of Yun Yeyao and Xie Yunmeng at the second party two days later.
It's just that the waiter's hat obliquely covers one side of his eyebrows, and the shadow of the light makes people a little uncertain.
——
Mo Haiyou stretched out his hand to lift the crimson curtain, walked into the place where Miss 'Tragedy' had just stayed, and stood in the same position as Merlot, he began to analyze and think about everything up to now.
He had to have a separate space to isolate himself from the three people outside.
Originally, the purpose of tracking down this amphitheater was simply to confirm what was in the wooden box? Now that Nianyu's text messages have made all the difference, Mo Haiyou must seriously think and analyze to find out all the 'rats' hidden in and around this amphitheater
In this cat-and-mouse game, the forensic doctor must be on the winning side, otherwise it may take some trouble to catch the criminal. According to the testimony of a trusted person on the teacher's side, it is possible that the person suspected of being a criminal will fly abroad immediately after the two meetings.
At present, the local police have also received a call from the teacher, and are arranging plainclothes personnel to enter the park and hotel to investigate! But what about the specifics? Mo Haiyou is completely unable to understand at this moment, he must first solve the puzzle in the theater before he can meet the people outside, and leave his reasoning and analysis to the local police as a reference.
It would be even better if there was any substantial evidence to be found in it. And now it seems that the substantial evidence is not only the point in the wooden box, but also a living person, who should be part of the murderer, right! This man is not an accomplice, nor is he a complete murderer! He is part of the murderer, and the other parts must rely on their efforts to piece them together.
(It may seem strange to say this, but I have to use this expression to illustrate the nature of the murderer, which has to do with why the killer had to turn certain victims into corpses.) )
Regardless of what kind of actions the three people outside would take, Mo Haiyou closed his eyes that were exactly the same as Yun Yeyao, and his thoughts began to shuttle back and forth through the whole thing.
First of all, the two whispering women I met in the garden, I couldn't get close to them at the time, so I couldn't see what they were doing. But it can be roughly guessed that these two people should be invited guests, and it cannot be the waitress of the hotel itself.
This can be seen from the decoration on their hair, both women have valuable gemstone hairpins in their hair, and they also have beautiful hairstyles, and the waitresses in the restaurant are uniformly dressed and have short hair, so the suspicion of the waitress in this incident can be cleared.
And as a waitress, in such a busy moment, she must be assigned by the foreman to turn around, and it is impossible for anyone to have time to go to the garden to whisper.
Then there is the dialogue between these two women, if it is linked to the case, the dialogue between the two of them can lead to a lot of meanings.
For example, the first person asks, "Are you ready?" What she meant could be something that had to be used in the case, a body of a victim they had hidden, or a trap they were about to trick the victim into!
The second person replied that it was obvious that she was not ready, but she was close to success, so it would take a little bit of time at the last minute.
After hearing the answer, the tone of the first person was very anxious, and the host she said should be the host of the party, Miss Merlot, when the time was close to eight o'clock, which was also the time when Miss Merlot came out to meet everyone.
And according to the first person, 'Tonight at 8 o'clock, you must stay in the amphitheater on the fifth floor.' Mo Haiyou was sure that at least one of the two women had gone to the amphitheater immediately after leaving the garden path, so there was no one carrying the box among them.
Why is it so analyzed? Because the two women did not have heavy objects in their hands at that time, this can be determined without seeing their behavior specifically, just by looking at the way they walked easily when they left.
Mo Haiyou immediately asked the lady of the main station after leaving the garden path and went to the amphitheater. By the time he reached the back of the Blue Rose Cafe, it was almost 8:20. This indicates that one of the two women must have already arrived inside the amphitheater.
Moreover, they couldn't have moved the boxes from the periphery into the elevator before he entered the elevator. What if the box was already in the elevator hall at the time? In fact, there is not much difference, first, if you put the box in the elevator room beforehand, it is possible that the upper and lower staff will find out and even find out the secrets.
Second, when Mo Haiyou arrived at the door of the elevator room, it was already close to half past eight, and if one of the two women was still fiddling with the box in the elevator room, it would be too different from the time they said they had to arrive.
Now it can be determined that the two women talking in the garden and the person carrying the box in the elevator room are related to the case, and the question depends on whether the murder passed on by the teacher is the same group of people as the prisoners in the hotel.
If it's the same group of people, then their speed of action is fast enough, the fire over there burned in the early morning of the 16th, and the teacher received the news near the afternoon on the 16th, and it is now the night of the 16th. The murderer will clean up and clean up after killing people! Then drive to the secluded Rose Park. Then all the plans here are arranged and implemented.
You must know that the distance between these two places is not a little bit, just the car at a normal speed to go back and forth, Mo Haiyou is estimated to take more than three hours. So the actions of this murderer are really the most powerful that Mo Haiyou has seen in the past few years as a criminal policeman.
At the same time, this shows that the murderer must have been well prepared in advance, and must be able to approach the people around Meihua Meile frequently, be very familiar with their places of residence and work, and can come and go frequently. This is very important and has greatly narrowed the definition of a suspect.
The two women in the garden also mentioned the hotel waitress, who themselves couldn't, but would they have bought off a certain waitress? Do you spy on them or act as an eyeliner? This reminded Mo Haiyou of the 'mouse' following him at the bottom.
In fact, when he hid at the corner of the elevator, Mo Haiyou had already discovered him, and he saw his face very clearly. Based on the emotions and behaviors he showed, Mo Haiyou was sure that this person was definitely not a peripheral mercenary who didn't know anything, he at least knew what was going on! It is even possible to know that someone has died.
Then the analysis has to be reversed, it is not the murderer who hired someone in the hotel to be his eyeliner! Rather, someone is himself an accomplice to the murderer! Sneak into the newly opened café in advance as an inside eyeliner to help the killer complete his plan.
This inference is basically not wrong, and the next thing is what happened after entering this amphitheater, and now there is a question: Oda and Iwamine, who are the real workers left in the theater? This is more likely to be Oda, because it is obvious that he and Miss Merlot have known each other before, although Oda said that he saw Merlot for the first time, but Miss Merlot's expression seems to be very familiar with him, and he must have seen it accidentally during rehearsals before.
One is an actress who often rehearses in the theater, and the other is a worker who has been installing and maintaining here during this time, and it is not surprising that Mero will see Oda.
However, Merlot has shown a completely unfamiliar attitude towards Iwamine! And very afraid of his presence, that feeling, not only because the skirt was caught by him. What Mo Haiyou is thinking about now is: whether the different attitudes towards these two people are Meile's deliberate performances, or her true thoughts. This is very important in determining the identity of the two people.
Mo Haiyou always had a doubt, whether it was Miss Meiyue or Miss Meihua in front of him, the two tragic goddesses were the same. Although Mo Haiyou has only seen the huge posters of the two of them, in terms of overall temperament, Mo Haiyou has always tended to be more like Miss Meihua in front of him. And when he first entered the amphitheater, he fully expressed his thoughts in the dialogue with the actress.
——
It's been a long time, and Mr. Forensic hasn't come out from behind the curtain, as if he's found something?
The three people outside were gradually in a whirlpool of unease and doubt, even the headlights in the center of the stage were dim at the moment, and in the blind corner that they could not see, someone's finger was slowly touching one of the power switches on the edge of the auditorium.
Most of the power switches are already facing down, and only a few are still facing up, and each switch has a small glass cover on top of it, which is to prevent the audience from inadvertently pressing it when they are moving around.
Now one of the glass covers was silently opened, and slender fingers snaking like poisonous snakes towards the inside-facing buttons, then slammed down hard.
With a 'snap', the amphitheater was immediately plunged into darkness, and those who had barely been able to keep quiet just now could bear this sudden terror, and immediately the screams of men and women sounded as if they were about to tear the air apart, and the three people in the theater were in chaos, and the sound of running footsteps, the sound of striking things, the roars, and the cries of Miss Merlot for help were followed by screams, like a chaotic symphony.
But there was one man missing, and the man who stood behind the curtain, with only a pair of leather shoes exposed, disappeared silently, like smoke entering the air, and the place where the shoes were located was empty.
The demon thought that he had gotten rid of the only one who could see through him, and became even more unscrupulous, and the hand of sin reached out again to the defenseless innocent through the darkness.
However, the forensic doctor hidden in the darkness is approaching him step by step, the hands that represent justice! He was about to choke the cruel demon by the neck, pulling him out from under the cloak of darkness into the blinding sunlight, so that all his sins could no longer be hidden.
But is that really all there is? No, not yet, far from it, a small omission will leave another part of the demon behind, until the appearance of the actor and the detective will bring the whole incident to an end.
