Chapter 215: Common Ground
Two women in the dressing room, one was hijacked and the other was the assailant who infiltrated the theater. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Eight changing compartments, four on each side, Chen Zhen and Mr. You checked in turn, reflexively, one blocked the assailant's dagger, and the other pinched off her arm bone and covered his face.
If there is movement, it is easy to attract the attention of the enemy, and it is the same if there is no movement, there is no sound for a while after screaming, if someone is really hiding, as long as they are not stupid, they should be able to realize that something is wrong, and lift three pairs of curtains, and it doesn't make much sense to lift the remaining pair again, just to turn their backs on the two women and lure the enemy to shoot.
Chen Zhen's way of covering his face is the same as covering Yu Shanshi in the hospital, he even covers his mouth and nose together, not only can he not make a sound, but he can't even breathe.
But for the woman, the pain in her arm made it even harder for her to breathe, her mouth and nose were covered, she couldn't even breathe, she was stuffed in her chest, blocked in her throat, and her eyes bulged out in pain.
The other woman shrank to the wall, eager to retreat into the wall, her calves trembled even more, she was really shaking.
"How many people came? A thumbs up for less than ten, index finger for ten to twenty, middle finger for refusal to answer, ring finger for twenty to thirty, little finger for thirty or more, answer and spare your life. Chen Zhen's questions were similar to those he asked in Liangcheng Central Hospital.
There is no need to ask much about the other party's purpose, it is not for Sister Cong or for the troupe, and there is no need to ask how the other party arranges it, because the plan can't catch up with the changes, even if you want to ask, the order of the inquiry should be ranked behind, and the number of people information should be obtained at the first time, because even the number of people is not willing to say, let alone more specific information.
The woman's eyes were already bloodshot, and she turned to look at Chen Zhen, she still had a hand that could move, trembling and raising her middle finger.
Chen Zhen twisted her neck, threw her into the cubicle, and looked at another woman.
"I'm ...... I don't...... No...... Don't ......" The woman's hands shook wildly, she was not afraid of dead people, but Chen Zhen didn't blink her eyes when she killed people, and her eyes didn't change in the slightest, this is the most frightening, ordinary people twisting the neck of a dummy like this, I'm afraid there will be a momentary change in mood.
"What did she come to you for?" Mr. You stepped forward and asked, patting the woman on the shoulder.
"I ...... I didn't know, I was changing clothes, and halfway through the change, she ...... She suddenly pulled me out and told me to take my clothes off. Seeing Mr. You, she gradually regained her composure.
"On stage?" Mr. You turned his head to look at Chen Zhen, and then asked the woman, "Where is Sister Cong?" Is there any role for her today? ”
"I don't know where she is." The woman shook her head: "There is no role for her, but she sometimes makes a cameo appearance in a supporting role or background role." ”
"It shouldn't be on the stage, even the people in the troupe don't know if Sister Cong will go on stage, and those people are even less likely to know." Chen Zhen thought for a while and said, "They should also have that list, she is just a secret whistle on the stage." ”
Mr. You nodded and said to the woman: "You go and play your play, don't tell others what happened here, we will deal with it, if you let those people know that they are exposed, everyone in the theater may be in danger, only when you see Sister Cong, tell her that there is danger and let her hide." ”
"I ...... Got it. The woman nodded vigorously, turned pale, put her clothes back on, and hurried out of the dressing room.
"Strange, isn't it too strange at this point in time?" Mr. You opened the curtain with her iron ruler again, glanced at the woman's corpse, and said, "We just arrived today, and we happened to meet them in action?" Wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence? ”
"It's not a coincidence." Chen Zhen took out the list again and glanced at it, and said: "They are cooperating with our actions, we have attracted too many people's attention when we entered the city today, they will definitely have actions against us tonight, and there will be loopholes in the defense of the theater during the operation, just let them get in, coincidentally it is just our time to enter the city, and the rumor that a killer wants to kill Sister Cong just appeared, and we came." ”
"Let's go, according to what you say, there should be people staring at other places, we are looking for clues and enemies at the same time, if we find clues, we can protect Sister Cong, and if we find enemies who are afraid of death, we can sabotage their actions, no matter which side it is, it can be regarded as progress." Mr. You took her iron ruler back into her sleeve, which should be custom-made, narrow, long, curved, and able to fit the arm.
Neither of them mentioned that if Sister Cong was hiding somewhere in these ten places, and the other party had a list, maybe she would have been killed, but she shouldn't be so stupid, otherwise there would be no need to leave this piece of paper.
They walked to the only remaining cleaning tool room on the first floor.
Of the ten places in the list, the stage is the largest, the tool room is the smallest, this is just a small room of about six square meters, there is a shelf in the innermost, on which are placed all kinds of washing liquids and different brushes, and the walls are leaning against brooms, mops, dustpans, plastic buckets, etc., in addition, there is only a small cabinet in the corner, which is as small as a bedside table.
There was nothing in the small cabinet, but Chen Zhen picked up the old-style calendar on the cabinet, like a book, he had to turn a page every day, a thick stack, and spread it out and put it on an iron table.
"Common ground." Chen Zhen flipped through the desk calendar and said: "There is a desk calendar or calendar in every room, and it is normal to put it in other rooms, but it is not necessary in the tool room. ”
"It's true that the sweepers only come in when they come to get their tools, there is no one at all, and this cabinet is not normal here, it is completely unnecessary." Mr. You also came over to take a look.
Chen Zhen took the calendar off the table, divided it into half for her, and said, "Check it." ”
Mr. You took it and quickly flipped through them one by one.
Chen Zhen first checked the iron table, the back was a little rusty, but there was no artificial mark on it, and then he also began to look through the calendar, the calendar is this year, with the front and back cover, a total of 368 pages, the front and the top of the front are dates, the week, and there is a blank space below to remember, and there are words printed on the back, there are small knowledge, recipes, articles by celebrities, poems, etc.
One and a half, you can know if there are any marks at a glance, turn it up quickly, and after reading it, neither of them found anything special.
"It should be the date on the top, what was the number when you picked it up?" Mr. You handed the calendar back to Chen Zhen.
"April 6th." Chen Zhen put the calendar back in and flipped it back to the state he was in when he picked it up.
On closer inspection, there was nothing on the paper.
"The order of these places on the paper is shuffled, and the serial number is added in front, and the puzzle should be to find the corresponding serial number from the calendar or desk calendar, ten places, the week is not enough, that is the month or the day." Mr. You said.
Chen Zhen looked at the piece of paper that Ge Xin handed them over, and said, "The four represents box 204, and the sixth represents box 211, all of which are on the second floor, so look for them." ”
"Hmm." Mr. You answered, turned around and went to open the door, and the doorknob easily turned, but the door failed to open.
She tugged hard a few times, and finally grabbed the doorknob with both hands and pulled it back hard, only to hear a "pop" outside, the door was slammed open, and half of the mop fell to the ground.
Someone pinned the door from the outside.
Chen Zhen immediately rushed out and ran towards the exit of the backstage, the stairs leading to the audience seats on the second and third floors could only go up from the outside, and the narrow staircase in the backstage could only go up to the top of the stage, connected to the trusses, which were convenient for maintenance and replacement of sets.
"How do you know it's this side?" Mr. You followed.
"If someone outside overhears us, we should run to the second floor to see, and if not, we can run to the second floor to get the first opportunity." Chen Zhen said, pushing open the door for employees.
Outside is the foyer, there are some counters selling parts, and people come and go.
After the play started, the door to the hall on the first floor was closed, and the fence line was put up in front of the proofreading, but the door and staircase were still guarded, and you could still enter and exit with tickets.
"Did anyone go up just now?" Chen Zhen walked through the crowd to the staircase, flashed his pass, and asked the people guarding the separation line.
"Nope." The man shook his head and reached out to pick up the hook of the separation line, but Chen Zhen and Mr. You had already crossed the line and walked up the stairs.
The foyer on the first floor was noisy, but the corridor on the second floor was quiet, looking left and right, Chen Zhen first came to the door of box 204 and knocked on the door.
There was no sound inside, the door was not locked, and with a turn of the handle it was pushed open.
At the end, the even-numbered ones are all large boxes, and there are no candles in the room, and they are usually not lit, but there is a row of windows facing the door, and the curtains are open, and the light from the other side of the stage can shine in, so you can see things clearly without lanterns.
On the stage, the drama is being staged, the voices of the actors can be clearly heard, apples, narcissus and razor represent a person respectively, two women and a man, the three of them form a small detective agency, of which apple and narcissus are partners, razor is the detective agency responsible for serving tea, the secretary of the reception, weak and imaginative, although there is no ability to solve the case, but it can provide a lot of inspiration.
Chen Zhen saw the calendar hanging on the wall at first glance, and walked to the front to take a closer look, this is a standard calendar, the kind of paper that is a month, and there are no marks in the grids from the first to the tenth.
The two came out, came to the 211 box again, and knocked on the door.
The door was opened, and a middle-aged man stood behind the door, frowning at Chen Zhen and Mr. You, and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?" ”
It seems that it was because I was disturbed watching the play, and the reception was not happy.
