Chapter 37: A Lady in the Middle of the Night
Through the bright light, I saw that Fan Tianjiu took out from the pile of clothes in the corner of the wall, which was a beautiful musical instrument with mahogany as the body, carved all over the body, and six strings pulled up.
"I'll go! This fat house will actually stretch the wide board erhu?!"
Fan Tianjiu looked at the instrument in his hand and whispered in surprise.
"Hey~ Brother Jiu, what kind of eyes do you have? This is not an erhu, this is a pipa ......"
Si Bi'an said Fan Tianjiu with a wry smile, then took the pipa in his hand and looked at it for a while, and said:
β...... My second sister learned the pipa when she was in junior high school, and her pipa looks similar to this.
However, my second sister's pipa only has four threads, and this pipa actually has six, which is really strange. β
"Well, in fact, it doesn't matter how many threads this lute has, what matters is ......"
Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu lower his voice and whisper to Si Bi'an:
"Anzi, I remember that this pipa is not an exclusive instrument for girls? How can Xu Zifeng, a dead fat house, play it? This is like wearing a cheongsam with flower pants. β
"Well, Brother Jiu, your analogy is simply amazing...... It's really weird. β
Hearing this, Si Bi'an nodded in agreement.
"No, I'll have to ask his mom what's going on......"
Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu turn around and come to Mother Xu with a pipa, and smiled at her:
"Auntie~ Is this pipa your son's, how can he have such a musical instrument that only girls like?"
"No, my son doesn't know any musical instruments, this pipa is a fan merchandise he bought......"
Hearing this, Mother Xu took out a tissue and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and replied.
"Fan merchandise, what fan peripherals?"
Fan Tianjiu said strangely when he heard this,
"Oh, yes, my son is a die-hard fan of a female star named Yang Baobao, and this pipa is the instrument that that female star often plays.
My son was so obsessed with him that he also bought the same lute as a souvenir ......."
Speaking of this, I saw Mother Xu pointing behind Fan Tianjiu with a finger.
"Wowββ! is the female star in the poster on the back wall. β
So Fan Tianjiu looked back, and sure enough, he found a life-size poster hanging on the wall behind him-
The protagonist in the poster is a graceful female star wearing a cheongsam.
I saw that this female star was petite and beautiful. Wearing a set of green silk cheongsam, holding a pipa in his jade arm, he sat on a bamboo chair dignified and elegant. happened to look straight ahead with a smile, like the temperament of a beauty of the Republic of China.
And the title below the poster reads this line -
Pipa song, ancient style love, pipa fairy Yang baby meets with you at the exclusive concert of "Ancient Wind and Love".
"Wow...... The style of this poster seems to have been ripped from the pictorial of the old Shanghai Tang. Are there still young people who will fan such antique painting stars?"
Fan Tianjiu looked at this ancient poster and sighed.
At this time, Si Bi'an also walked to Fan Tianjiu's side and looked up at the poster, then pointed to the poster and said to him:
"Brother Jiu, look! The appearance of this pipa in her hand is exactly the same as the one in your hand. β
Fan Tianjiu picked up the pipa and compared it with the poster when he heard this, and nodded-
"Well, it's true, and it's not ......"
Then he pointed to the lower right corner of the poster and said to Si Bi'an:
β...... Anzi, look at the list of sponsors below this poster. β
Hearing this, Si Bi'an looked at the poster along Fan Tianjiu's instructions, and read:
"Oh, Hehe Food Company, Chuanquan Culture Media, Antique Orchestra and ...... Hmmm?what?!Pereste Industrial Group?!"
As soon as he saw this name, Si Bi'an immediately frowned, turned his head to Fan Tianjiu and said in shock:
"Brother Jiu, isn't this Perest Industrial Group the leather bag company opened by the Blood Thorn Priest as Brother Zhu said, which is dedicated to money laundering for Blood River?!"
"Hehe, yes, it seems that the background of this female star named Yang Baobao is really not simple......"
Fan Tianjiu looked at the poster and sneered thoughtfully.
"I'm sorry, that ......"
At this moment, I saw Xu's mother suddenly walk behind Fan Tianjiu and whisper to him:
β...... Comrade policeman, I would like to ask, is the one outside the door your two colleagues? She seems to be a little wrong. β
"Huh? what...... I rub ββ?!"
Fan Tianjiu was stunned when he heard this, then turned around and looked out the door, and was suddenly startled-
I saw that Nie Leilei, who had been standing at the door and waiting, was making a series of strange movements in front of the house-
I saw her half-squatting and half-sitting hiding by the door, taking out a string of prayer beads out of nowhere and holding them in her hand. Then, while turning the rosary, his eyes were closed, and his face was full of seriousness, and he recited words to the room. How weird and weird that sneaky look is.
"Haha...... I'm sorry, Auntie, I'll go ha......"
Seeing this, Fan Tianjiu hurriedly said haha to Xu's mother, then walked quickly to the door and pulled Nie Leilei into the aisle, shouting at her:
"Stinky girl!!What kind of demon are you standing in front of people's homes like this?!
Do you know that if you talk like a god like thisββ? you will arouse the suspicion of others!"
"I'm sorry, ghost, big brother, but I'm so scared......"
Nie Leilei apologized to Fan Tianjiu again and again when she heard this, then raised her head and glanced cautiously into the room, and then asked timidly:
"That...... Brother Ghost Envoy, I want to ask, is the woman in the house a ghost?"
"You...... Noββ! she's not a ghostββ! you're relieved now?!"
Fan Tianjiu really had no choice but to take Nie Leilei, so he had to take a breath and say kindly:
"Genius girl, you can rest assured...... Our brothers are black and white, and all the ghosts in the underworld are terrified!
As long as we are here, no ghost will dare to come close...... Huh?"
Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu suddenly frown, snorted vigorously, looked around and said suspiciously:
"Strange, why do I smell like I smell here?"
"The ......"
Nie Leilei trembled when she heard this, then reached out and took out a small bottle from her pocket, and said timidly to Fan Tianjiu:
β...... I'm sorry, ghost, big brother, I just sprinkled some boy urine on the place where you stood. β
"Whatββ?! I wipe ββ!"
Fan Tianjiu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly flashed to the side, and then shouted to Nie Leilei while desperately rubbing the soles of his shoes:
"There's something wrong with you girlββ! how can a good socialist young man engage in such feudal superstitions!"
"Alas~ Brother Jiu, our black-and-white impermanence is itself a kind of feudal superstition......"
At this moment, I saw Si Bi'an walking out of Xu's mother's house with the poster, looked at Nie Leilei beside him helplessly, and then said to Fan Tianjiu:
"Brother Jiu, don't quarrel here, it's not good for others to see two policemen arguing with each other in the corridor, let's go downstairs and talk about it......"
"Well, well, there's nothing to investigate here anyway...... Let's go, let's go out!"
After speaking, Fan Tianjiu dragged Nie Leilei out of Xu's mother's house with great strides.
Then, the three of them came to the gazebo in the community garden. I saw Fan Tianjiu take the poster in Si Bi'an's hand and put it in Nie Leilei's hand, and said unhappily:
"Genius girl, aren't you an Internet intelligence expert? Then you can help me investigate this female star in the pictorial now, and see what her origin is? The more detailed the better......
"Oh, okay......"
Nie Leilei pursed her lips when she heard this, picked up the poster and looked at it, then opened the notebook to retrieve the information, and said to Fan Tianjiu:
"Hmm...... This female star named Yang Baobao was originally named Yang Liang, 22 years old this year, and debuted from a reality show selection competition.
According to the database of the Mystery Team, she was originally just a half-popular eighteenth-tier star, but a month ago, she suddenly had a heart attack during a performance and was sent to a hospital for rescue. Half a month later, after she recovered and was discharged from the hospital, she changed her name to Yang Baobao and returned to work.
Not only that, after this re-debut, this Yang baby has changed his previous state of being half popular and not popular. With her superb pipa playing skills, she quickly became popular in the entertainment industry, became a first-line singer, and was called the 'Queen of Night Music' by fans. β
"Queen of Nightnote, why is she called by that nickname?"
Si Bi'an was stunned when he heard this, and said curiously.
"Well, this ......"
Hearing Si Bi'an ask, Nie Leilei tapped the computer a few times again, and then replied:
β...... According to the information, this Yang baby has never appeared in the day since he was discharged from the hospital.
Whether she's meeting fans, giving interviews to reporters, or holding concerts...... She only does it after sunset, and almost no one sees her during the day.
Because of this, she is nicknamed the 'Queen of Night Sound' by fans. β
"Never show up in the daytime? Funny ......"
Fan Tianjiu smiled when he heard this, turned around and sat down on the bench in the pavilion, and said thoughtfully:
"Hmm...... If my speculation is correct, I don't know if this 'Queen of Nightsound' hasn't been rescued at all. β
"What? Didn't you save it?"
Si Bi'an was stunned when he heard this, and asked Fan Tianjiu:
"Brother Jiu, do you mean to say that this Yang Baobao has already died of a heart attack, and now she is actually a ghost who is performing everywhere?"
"Whatββ?! again, another ghost?!"
As soon as she heard Si Bi'an say this, Nie Leilei was suddenly frightened and her hair stood on end, and she trembled.
"Alrightββ! don't panic when you hear it's a ghost!
Fan Tianjiu said Nie Leilei sharply, and then analyzed:
"I'm just speculating now, but from the fact that she can't see the sun, it's very likely that she's a ghost.
And the most important thing now is that we need to find out if she has anything to do with these three strange murders......"
Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu turn his head and say to Nie Leilei:
"Genius girl, now you cross-compare the recent whereabouts of the female doctor who self-harmed with the female audience to see if there is any intersection with this Yang baby?"
"Oh, okay......"
Hearing this, Nie Leilei tapped the keyboard a few times again, then her eyes lit up, and she said:
The physical evidence database of the police station shows that the ticket stubs for the night queen's concert were found in the homes of both of them, and the time was a week ago!"
"Well, so the three victims really had a relationship with the Queen of Nightshade, who was almost alive?"
Speaking of this, I saw Fan Tianjiu stand up, look at the smiling Yang Baobao in the poster, smile slightly, and say to Nie Leilei:
"Genius girl, check when this Yang baby's last concert will be held, and then book three tickets, and we'll meet her for a while!"
"Oh, okay! I'll start booking ......."
Hearing this, Nie Leilei hurriedly tapped the keyboard a few times again, then her eyebrows jumped, and she looked at the screen and replied awkwardly:
"That...... Big Brother Devil, we seem to be in trouble......"
