Chapter Ninety-Five: Trapped
After Xiao Tian left, Mo Haiyou walked to the front of the stage, indeed, except for the pile of new equipment, other props and sets were not covered. Maybe it's just been installed, and I'm waiting for the stage crew to confirm it.
Mo Haiyou's eyes kept searching for what he was looking for! This matter must be resolved before the opening of the stage play, otherwise the impact will be very huge, and Mo Haiyou does not want to waste the fruits of the teacher's hard work.
The overall shape of the stage extends forward in an inverted trapezoidal shape, and the top is facing the platform that Mo Haiyou just came down, and the platform extends to both sides, and after turning the stage down, you can see three elevators side by side.
The huge inverted trapezoidal is flanked by six groups of spotlights, each with two rows and three in each row. The spotlight square head rests on a shelf, the shelf and the shell are black, and there is no way to hide anything in the vacant place.
In the front and center of the trapezoidal stage, you can see three obvious dividing lines, which are probably lifting platforms, and beyond that, they are blocked by the curtain.
Mo Haiyou walked onto the stage and stepped on the suspected lifting platform with his foot, not moving at all. It seemed that it was impossible to hide something under this in an instant, and he had taken a closer look at the surface of the stage as he walked by, and there was no evidence he wanted.
There was a strange sound behind the curtain, and the forensic doctor paused for a moment to listen carefully, and it turned out to be a girl's clear and euphemistic singing voice, which was very low and low, as if she didn't want to lure people over. So Mo Haiyou gave up the plan to lift the curtain directly and jumped off the stage from one side.
There is a small door behind the props, and the small door that I saw on the side of the stage just now should all enter the backstage, the backstage looks dark and messy, and a narrow corridor is only for one person to pass through, Mo Haiyou is a little strange, after the stage play starts, how should the staff act inside?
However, this is not something he should be concerned about now, so he ignored it instantly.
The large props look clear at a glance, and there is no cover, automatically ignoring the decorations on it, Mo Haiyou took two or three minutes to carefully check it, there is no box, and the props that can be opened are also empty.
So Mo Haiyou prepared to move to the other end, where the new equipment was stacked.
The person moved forward close to the edge of the stage, his steps looked casual and relaxed, and Mo Haiyou tried his best to hide the anxiety in his heart. The eye swept inadvertently under the curtain that surrounded the back of the stage, and the edges of the heavy curtain did not fit closely with the stage board.
Under the light of the outside lights, a pair of small navy blue leather shoes and a skirt that reached the length of the bare feet were presented to the forensic doctor. The girl inside is moving in the opposite direction.
Looking at the way those feet walk step by step, it's very cute and... Filled with a feeling of joy, Mo Haiyou stopped, looked at it carefully for a while, and his intuition still told him that this person was cute and full of joy!
"Miss, is the goddess of tragedy so happy?"
A calm and tranquil voice came in from outside the curtain, immediately attracting the attention of those inside. She has round, delicate skin, dark eyes like the night sky, and shimmering eyeshadow and mascara make people feel like stars in the night sky.
The small red lips are lightly touched with light lip makeup, and if you look at the lips, you do have a feeling of sadness and crying, but this is the effect of makeup. Because the girl's whole face is radiating a relaxed and happy light at the moment! It proves that her mood is just as relaxed and happy.
This kind of mood probably spread to her feet unconsciously, and it was very obvious, so it made Mo Haiyou have the same intuition.
Seeing that there was no response from the people inside, Mo Haiyou continued: "Madam, since I have already spoken, can I enjoy the light and meet me?" ”
"Who are you?" The delicate and layered voice like a singer is transmitted from the place where the girl stands, and I have to say that most men will like this kind of voice.
However, Mo Haiyou didn't answer her, and the way the girl asked inside made him feel a little rude. Even if it's a stranger you don't know, shouldn't you come out and say hello first after saying hello?
The fact that this girl can practice on stage proves that she is one of the actors in the stage play. Now judging from her arrogant performance, Mo Haiyou can be sure that she is definitely one of the protagonists of the stage play!
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the girl probably felt a little embarrassed, so she lifted the curtain and walked out.
In an instant, Mo Haiyou seemed to see a young court lady in the late 18th century walking towards him, and that kind of beauty, whether it is with pen and ink or with words, cannot be described perfectly.
"The goddess of tragedy in the dark night is really extraordinary." Mo Haiyou praised softly, but he immediately changed his words and said, "But I seem to see a happy heart under your sad shell...... Miss Meihua. ”
“…… Sir, you recognize the wrong person, I'm Merlot. Merlot walked to the center of the stage and stopped, a smile on her face. Why do you think I'm Meihua? ”
"Because of the posters of the two of you."
"But the poster doesn't have a name on it, does it?"
"However, Meihua is more like a tragic goddess, isn't she?"
"You're really strange, Mr. Yun, who just said I was happy, but now you say that I'm more like a tragic goddess than Meihua. A good actor's intuition can't be so bad! I'm Merlot, a woman who is more like a tragic goddess than her sister! ”
"Do you know me?"
"I've admired the name for a long time, I've watched a lot of Mr. Yun's TV series! When did you want to enter the film and stage market? ”
"Then it depends on my manager."
"This is not like what a motivated young man said, Mr. Yun, I didn't go outside to entertain guests, you should all think it's strange!"
"Indeed, can you tell me why?"
"Because I'm more like a tragedy than my sister, I have to practice hard! In this theater that is about to be empty, this is where the goddess of tragedy should stay! ”
"But I think there is no tragedy in your life anymore, maybe it would be more appropriate for you to play the goddess of comedy."
"You really can't speak, especially in the face of a beautiful woman, shouldn't you say something to make her happy? For example...... You're so much better than your sister, or if you're really good at acting or something like that, I'm not going to be pretentious, I like to hear that. ”
"But I've already touted you." Mo Haiyou's eyes lowered slightly, as if he didn't want to look at Merle's stunning face anymore.
"Is that really extraordinary? How do I feel like I'm touting my sister! Merlot pouted slightly dissatisfied.
"Whatever you want!"
"Why are you so indifferent? Will it not attract girls? ”
"I don't need to."
"It's because there are so many people who pursue you, so you don't need it?"
The words of the two gradually deviated from the topic, and Meile also walked to Mo Haiyou's side, and she began to chat with Mo Haiyou about some acting topics, such as Yun Yeyao's recent TV series or commercials, etc.
Mo Haiyou's response became less and less, and Merlot's face also showed a look of doubt. The shadow of mutual suspicion gradually spreads between the two people.
At this time, Oda was also busy with his work and was walking in the direction of the two people, and when he saw Merlot, Oda seemed to be shocked: "Miss Merlot, why are you here?" ”
His question made Mo Haiyou stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Could it be that Miss Merlot secretly hid behind the curtain?" Why didn't Oda even see you? ”
"Mr. Yun, I just don't want people to see me in a costume......" Merlot's explanation sounded reluctant and incomplete. It's kind of like that lie that can't be made up.
Mo Haiyou observed her, and seemed to understand something in his heart, so he didn't want to say any more.
But Oda didn't think so, and with a little excitement on his face, he hurried up to Merlot and said, "Miss Merlot, you are so beautiful!" It's the first time I've seen you in person! It's so beautiful! Xiao Tian rubbed his hands together as he spoke, his face was already red to the root of his ears, and he could see that he liked the two sisters very much.
'Yes! What guy wouldn't like such a beautiful girl? Mo Haiyou thought in his heart, but no one knew if he agreed with this sentence.
The small episode passed quickly, and it was discovered that Miss Merlot's incident in the theater had made Mo Haiyou change his mind a little bit, and now, there was a more practical plan brewing in his mind, and he could make good use of the two people in front of him.
"Oda, are there any other workers in the theater?" Mo Haiyou asked.
"Ahh No, I'm the last one, and I'm going to leave when it's about to be finished. Then the theater should be closed and wait for the day of the premiere. So, you'd better go outside as soon as possible. "Oda comes across as a very responsible employee.
Mo Haiyou nodded casually, looked away, and let Xiao Tian continue to talk to Meile.
It was already past 9:30 p.m., and the party scene outside was estimated to be very chaotic due to the absence of the hostess, and the host, Ms. Fan, may have been looking for Miss Merlot everywhere.
Mo Haiyou distanced himself from the two people on the edge of the stage and returned to the lowest level of the audience, where there was a row of power switches on the edge of the wall.
Some switches are pointing down, which means that they are turning off. A few of them are pulled upwards, presumably as the switch of the lights on the top of the stage.
The slender fingers gently groped for the edge of the last switch, and Mo Hai had a general understanding in his right heart, and he left the theater center and returned to the platform in front of the elevator.
"Mr. Yun, are you leaving?" Oda shouted loudly from behind, "Wait a minute, let's go together." ”
"Okay." Mo Haiyou turned his head and said simply, and continued to move towards the elevator, but he did not go directly to the bent stairs, but stood at the top of the stairs and waited for the two people behind.
As if he had given up looking for the box, Mo Haiyou was pondering, his eyes seemed to be in the direction of the elevator, but there didn't seem to be.
——
In the empty, quiet space, as if to swallow people, a silent and cold man confronts it alone, in the eyes of men, some things have become established facts, and some things are still in the blur.
The two people who ran towards him from behind, did they really face him as he really was? Who is the one who is deliberately trying to thwart him? The man's gray brain cells swirled rapidly, trying to peel back the skin of the demon's deception, looking for the truth hidden beneath it.
Above the large metal plate in front of him, the numbers that should have been shiny have now turned gray.
'There are rats biting the cat's tail downstairs, which means that the rats upstairs already know that the cat is coming, but they can't find out that the white cat is actually hiding under the black cat's exterior! The look in the man's cold pupils became more inscrutable, and the hand in his pocket kept his grip on the small square object, his fingers moving rapidly.
And the mysterious man who carried the box, the two women who whispered in the garden, where did all these people go? If he was in this theater, he would have to deal with too many rats.
Now I have to wait, wait for the rat downstairs to fall into the cage, and the operation can be fully launched.
——
Oda trotted while taking care of Miss Mihua in a long skirt, for fear that she would trip over. It took more than five minutes for the two of them to reach Mo Haiyou's side.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
After saying hello, Oda immediately ran to the front of the elevator to press the downward button, but as soon as his fingers touched the button, he found that the indicator light above the elevator was not on.
"What's going on? Is there a power outage in this elevator? Oda was very surprised, he pressed the button a few times, and found that it was really useless, and even the upper and lower arrow lights were not lit.
Looking back at the two actors behind him, Xiao Tian said helplessly: "Mr. Yun, Miss Merlot, you two wait a minute, the staff below may think that we have left, so we turned off the power of the elevator, I will call them and ask them to turn it back on." ”
"Is the power supply of the elevator here separate from the other elevators?" Mo Haiyou asked.
"Yes, the elevator to the theater is powered separately, and the guest rooms and staff elevators are connected to each other." Oda explained, his right hand already pulling out the phone in his pocket.
At this time, Mo Haiyou suddenly stepped over to the edge of Xiao Tian, glanced at his hand, and then said, "Your phone is out of battery." ”
"My phone ......" Xiao Tian wanted to refute, but when he suddenly lowered his head, he found that his mobile phone had been automatically turned off, he looked at Mo Haiyou in shock and asked, "How do you know?" ”
"Because your phone has been tampered with a long time ago, and Miss Merlot, you didn't bring your phone to this theater, did you?"
Merlot was suddenly asked, unable to react for a moment, and stumbled a little in her speech. "I... I brought ...... It's ...... It's on the box next to the stage. ”
"No, I don't believe you can see for yourself, there are no small bags or mobile phones on any box on the side of the stage."
"Mr. Yun, do you think I'm lying?"
"No, a third party took your phone, and this third party still has a chance to fiddle with Oda's phone." Mo Hai's right words were amazing, and the two people in front of him were stunned at once.
But he didn't stop, but continued: "When I got downstairs to take the elevator up, I had a very bad feeling that I was being followed. The elevator below must have been deliberately de-powered, Oda, and in order to trap us here, they can't give you a chance to call. ”
"You, Mr. Yun, are you too deep into the play? I'm dreaming! How could such a thing be? And it's in such a lively hotel. ”
"I'm not dreaming you'll soon find out, now I need you two to help me find a rectangular wooden box at once, and besides, there's not just the three of us in this theater, so you have to be careful."
Mo Haiyou's words were like magic, spreading fear and surprise to the man and woman in front of him, their faces that were relaxed just now became solemn and timid at this moment, especially Merle, whose little face seemed to be the color of rouge turned white with fright.
Mo Haiyou quietly moved to Meile's side, lowered his head close to the girl's ear and said, "Tell me about your sister's situation, maybe it will be very helpful." ”
Maybe Mo Haiyou's face was too cold, Merle took a few steps back and approached Xiao Tian's side, and Xiao Tian behind her looked at Mo Haiyou like a mentally ill person at the moment, he still suspected that Mo Haiyou had gone mad because of acting.
Indeed, the sudden utterance of these words, as if a bloody horror was about to take place in a theater that had just been peaceful and peaceful, could not be believed at once in any way. It's like a prank to scare the little girl.
Protecting Meile behind him, Xiao Tian's face was no longer as kind as just now, and he said, "Mr. Yun, if something really happens, we can also find a way to solve it together, but please don't be so scary, okay?" ”
"The solution is for you to immediately join me in finding a large wooden box of primary color, with some small holes dug by hand. Once you find it, you can be sure that what I said is true or false, and if it is delayed any longer, I don't think I can guarantee what the consequences will be. ”
After speaking, Mo Haiyou passed by Xiao Tian, and a small card instantly fell into the pocket of Xiao Tian's work clothes.
It is still unknown whether the two of them will help Mo Haiyou find the so-called big box together, but when Xiao Tian secretly opened his pocket and saw what Mo Haiyou gave him, the kind of panicked eyes in an instant could not be pretended no matter what.
