Schiller snapped his fingers, the lights dimmed again, and he stood face to face with Gordon, who turned around and stabbed Schiller in the chest with a sword.

The process after that is no different from the previous reasoning, but the reason why they have to do it again is because they want to know under what circumstances the victim will turn around.

"In my experience, the vast majority of murders in which the deceased are attacked from behind are committed by acquaintances." Schiller crossed his arms and said: "If you are a stranger or a person you meet for the first time, it is difficult to be in a state of complete back-to-back, and people will only give their backs to each other when they have a great deal of trust in each other." ”

Gordon nodded and said, "That's true, if it's a head-to-head confrontation, most of the dead are shot in the chest, which is very common in gangsters. ”

"On the contrary, if it is a member of the same gang vying for power, especially between father and son, and a sudden attack occurs, the wounds are often in the back."

"If it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, it means that the murderer may be someone in the troupe, who do you think is the most suspicious?" Schiller asked.

Gordon paced in place, thinking and said: "It's hard to say, love killings and vendetta killings are possible, although the owner of the troupe said that Vicky's popularity is very good, but no one knows what other people think." ”

"The problem now is that the murder weapon is located." Bruce stepped forward and said, "This kind of penetrating wound is not something that ordinary sharp weapons can do, if you want to cause a complete penetration, the blade part must be at least two to three feet long. ”

"Now, the dagger of the long sword on the market, even if it is a long dagger, will not exceed a foot." Schiller Street: "From my observations of the wound section, the murder weapon was straight and long, about three fingers wide, almost the same width before and after. ”

"Longsword." Bruce replied, "Only a sword close to that used by knights in the Middle Ages can meet these characteristics." ”

"This is a troupe, and it should be reasonable to have this kind of sword," Gordon said, calling a police officer, "Go to the owner of the troupe, and ask him to call the prop master and ask if there are any props missing in the troupe." ”

After a while, the owner of the troupe came in with the prop master, a young girl in her early twenties.

Before a few people asked, the owner of the troupe introduced: "This is Miss Molly, the prop master of Angelica's troupe, originally, her aunt was engaged in this job, but some time ago, her aunt had a health problem, so she took over." ”

Molly looked shy, a little submissive, and didn't dare to answer, Gordon stepped forward and asked, "Have you checked the inventory of props?" Did you notice that something was missing? ”

"Yes...... Some. Molly nodded, showing a frightened look, the troupe owner glared at her, Molly moved to the side, and said, "Just now, when I went to the prop room to count the number, I found that the sword that was supposed to be the same as the knight's armor was missing. ”

"What are you doing?" The owner of the troupe reprimanded: "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the props room? How can someone steal something? ”

Schiller stretched out his hand to soothe the troupe owner, then looked at Molly and asked, "Do you know when that sword disappeared?" ”

Molly shook her head and said, "I...... I don't know, but that armor is what Macbeth wears at the beginning of the show. ”

"Does Macbeth have armor in the opening?" Schiller asked with a frown.

At this time, the owner of the troupe said: "Our troupe has made a certain degree of new compilation for the four major tragedies, of course, the plot has not changed, but the scenes and character costumes have been redesigned to alleviate people's aesthetic fatigue of the classic plays." ”

"To highlight Macbeth's early heroic image, we designed a suit of armor for him, oh yes, it's being worn on Alex's body right now." As if remembering something, the troupe boss said to Molly, "Quick, go and call Alex over and ask if he took the sword." ”

After a while, Alex, dressed in armor and disillusioned, walked in, and Schiller looked at him, and found that the armor on his body was indeed newly made, with weak signs of wear on it, and the metal parts were shining.

"Alex, where did the longsword that goes with this armor go? Do you know? The troupe owner asked.

Alex reacted

After a long time, he shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see ......"

"Then when you put on this armor, didn't you have a sword?" The troupe owner asked again.

"I ...... I don't remember...... At that time...... Alex closed his eyes, tried to get out of that sad state, and spoke in a low tone:

"When today's rehearsal started, I was late, and today's rehearsal was the first all-props rehearsal, so I hurriedly came to the backstage and started to change clothes."

"Molly told me that Macbeth had a new armor and asked me to go to the prop room to get it, and as soon as I entered the prop room, I saw this new set of armor, so I was going to change it on."

"However, the armor is a bit complicated, and I am in a hurry, and I will not be able to wear it at all for a while, at this time, the makeup artist of the troupe happened to pass by the door of the prop room, and with his help, I put the armor on."

"As for the sword...... It was also the first time I wore this costume, and I didn't know how to wear a sword. Alex said in a trance.

"Makeup artist?" Gordon looked at the troupe owner with his hands on his hips and said, "Well, please bring the makeup artist over as well." ”

After a while, the makeup artist also came, it was a man in a pink jacket, and after he came in, he hugged his arm and snorted coldly, "I didn't see any long swords in the props room at all, maybe Molly was careless again, and I don't know where to put it." ”

Molly, the prop master, snorted and didn't dare to speak, as if she was a little afraid of the makeup artist, but she still shook her head vigorously and denied the makeup artist's claim.

Schiller stood aside, looking at the men. Passing the buck to each other, prop master Molly said that the last one to leave the prop room was Alex, so he should know where the long sword was, Alex said that the prop master didn't tell him that he had a long sword, so he didn't pay attention, and the makeup artist said that there was no long sword in the prop room at all, maybe the prop master lost it.

At this time, Bruce took the initiative to walk up and said, "According to what you say, the play must be postponed, and I originally wanted to invite a few friends to watch it together, but now it seems that it is better to forget it." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head and was about to go out, but the troupe owner hurriedly stopped him, and the troupe owner wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, Mr. Wayne, the play will start as usual, and if Vicky does not participate in Macbeth's performance, it will not affect the ...... of the performance in the future."

"Forget it!" Bruce raised his voice and said, "Within a few days of your arrival, a protagonist died, who knows if there is any murderer lurking in your troupe?" If I come to the show, will I die here? ”

He snorted coldly, and as he walked out, he said, "I have to ask my butler to tell the other people's butlers, but don't come to such a dangerous place, in case you lose your life, hum......"

The troupe owner's face was visibly pale, and he didn't know the famous Bruce Wayne.

In today's popular movies and TV series, traditional drama has become a hobby for a small number of people, and the vast majority of this small group of people are rich people, especially those who have been rich for decades.

The Wayne family is the leader of this circle, and if Bruce Wayne spreads bad news about their troupe in the circle, then they probably don't really have to mix in this circle.

"Molly! Didn't I say it a long time ago? Every prop must be recorded when it is put into storage, what about your record book?! The troupe owner asked, looking at Molly viciously.

"I'm ......" Molly showed a frightened expression, and at this time, the troupe owner pressed forward step by step, saying, "If you can't get the record, then you must have taken the sword!" Mr. Officer, you should take her to the police station and don't let her jeopardize our safety here! ”

As soon as Molly was about to say something, the owner of the troupe said quickly: "Don't think I don't know, you've always been jealous of Vicky, jealous that she can be the heroine in front of the stage, and you can only hide behind the scenes as a prop master!" ”

Molly's face became paler and paler, and Gordon wanted to go up and ask what was going on, but Molly seemed to think that Gordon was coming to get her, so she immediately turned around and ran out the door.

It was better for her not to run, but as soon as she ran, she confirmed the identity of the suspect, and the two policemen at the door immediately surrounded her and held her down

Finish.

Molly was just a skinny girl who couldn't resist at all, but she was a little broken and screamed loudly: "Andward! You scumbag! Obviously you want to kill Vicky! Because she wants to leave the troupe and go to Hollywood to develop! ”

"You asked me to bring you that sword! He also burned the prop book, and even hinted that Alex put on that armor so that he could be blamed on his head, you black-hearted boss! Murderer! ”

"Mr. Officer, she's framing me!" The owner of the troupe immediately stepped forward and explained: "She wants to exonerate herself, so she wants to find a scapegoat, how can I kill Vicky?" She's the heroine of our house! ”

"That's you! It's you! Molly shouted: "You overheard Vicky and Alex's whispering, and learned that Vicky not only wants to go to Hollywood to develop, but also wants to take Alex with you, and you hate her so much that you want to kill her!" ”

"Officer, you have to believe me, isn't the good reputation of Angelica's troupe enough to vouch for me after so many years?"

The owner of the troupe was obviously a little anxious, he walked up to Gordon's side and said to him: "Our family has run the troupe for so many years, and we have dealt with many celebrities, and they all know that it is impossible for me to do such a thing......

This was obviously putting pressure on the Gotham Police Department, but it exposed his weakness even more, and at this time, Bruce stopped leaving, he turned to Gordon and said, "I believe in this boss more, what do you say?" ”

Gordon didn't understand what he meant, but looking at his face, he nodded in agreement, waved his hand at the police officer, and said, "Take this young lady to the police station first, and let her wait in the interrogation room." ”

Schiller gave Bruce a look and said, "Now, the most important thing we have to do is find the murder weapon." ”

Bruce left the room, and before leaving, he said, "It's a little late, I'm going back to rest, you guys check slowly." ”

Then Schiller turned to the owner of the troupe and said, "Don't worry, sir, please go and call the actors who are rehearsing with you now, and we will ask them for some details." ”

The owner of the troupe didn't say anything and immediately left the room.

Three minutes later, the troupe owner was pinned to the floor on the second floor by Bruce, holding a bloodstained sword in his hand.
