Gao Cheng, accompanied by several police officers, followed Dayuan into the rest room of the magic troupe. The room can also be used as a dressing room, but it's more private. He won't come back when changing the scene. It's more time-saving to change clothes directly behind the stage.
Gao Cheng first noticed the laptops used in the Andes before.
"Does Mr. Andes bring his computer with him every time he performs?"
"Yes, teachers often need to make schedules and sometimes change their performance plans temporarily. Especially in the design of performance effects, they have to use computers to simulate each time." Ohara explained.
"So... Can I have a look?"
"It should be OK, but Andean teachers usually don't allow us to touch..."
"I need to find out what happened in the Andes."
Gao Cheng tries to turn on the computer. Unexpectedly, he doesn't need to enter a password, and his desktop is still working.
Yes, the Andes just closed the computer and the process was not over.
The first thing that comes into view is a picture browser. There are several consecutive pictures of the troupe performing in different places. There are also pictures of the troupe rehearsing behind the scenes. One of the pictures from a long time ago is rather shabby. It seems that it was not famous in the past.
"Mr. Ohara," Gao Cheng asked as he checked, "are these pictures of all the members of the league?"
Ohara took a closer look and explained, "I've only been here a few months. It seems that a lot of people have resigned before... This recent group photo of us when we arrived in Tokyo is all of us now."
Gao Cheng said, "is there anyone else resigning?"
"Yes, magic is more strict than magic performance. A little error of light will lead to the failure of performance. It's not easy to get to today's stage. The teacher is only famous in recent months."
Daehara was quite emotional and regretful. After all, he followed a popular performance team, but the core of the team was suddenly killed.
"Andean teachers usually don't offend people. Even if they have some conflicts with their peers, they don't go to the stage of killing... Detective Chenghu, don't you really see the murderer?"
"It's not..."
Gao Cheng also believes that he is relieved for these people. In any case, there will be much less resistance to handling cases.
There was a storm waiting for him outside. There were so many people on the scene that the police couldn't block the news. They didn't know what it would be like.
After calming down, Gao Cheng continues to check the computer and switches to the next process. It's a control interface, which seems to be the exclusive software of the magic show. It has the detailed step settings of the performance, and the operation status of the strange devices on the stage. It's temporarily in the automatic lock mode.
Here is the main control port. It seems that the Andes is temporarily adjusting, because the lucky audience's role is replaced by him here. Even other members are surprised at this. After all, he did not go through rehearsal, so the chance of an accident is very high.
"Did anyone come here during the show?" Gao Cheng asked carefully.
He still wondered why the computer didn't have a password lock
"No," said Ohara, shaking his head. "At that time, everyone was in the control room on the other side. They passed when they heard detective Chenghu's voice. What's the problem?"
"Why is there no one in the dressing room?"
"This is the request of Andean teachers. Everyone should observe the performance to avoid accidents..."
"Is it?" Gao Cheng thought about the layout of the room behind the stage in his mind.
The dressing room is just behind the stage, the control room is on the second floor opposite the stage, and the rest room is in the middle passage. It takes a few minutes to get to the backstage from the passages on both sides.
If the prisoner is really in the company, he may hide in the rest area, and finally pretend to follow the crowd and arrive at the scene of the murder. Unfortunately, he doesn't know who the last person is, and other people probably don't remember.
But what's going on in the Andes? All kinds of arrangements are just like creating opportunities for the murderer. The audience is influenced by magic, and the staff need to observe the performance at any time. Even he stayed on the stage for a minute or two because of the relationship between the stage and the book
Gao Chengyin sighs.
The wonderful Taiben made him the most suspect, but he couldn't blame the Andes. He could only find out the truth as soon as possible, help himself clear up his grievances, and give an account to the killed Andes.
The stage dressing room and Andean corpse have been carried away by the police, and the police are still trying to find the staff for questioning, but all the testimony is still quite unfavorable to Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng is the last person to be alone with the victim and the first to find the corpse. It seems that only Gao Cheng has a chance to kill someone.
"Chenghu, I have already asked. At that time, all the staff were in the control room. Everyone had alibi..."
Mu Mu hesitates to find the rest room. At this time, after Gao Cheng has checked the Andean computer, the forensic Officer reports in a hurry: "police department, the computer has the victim's network records and fax operation records. The victim seems to be the" prophet "himself..."
"What?" "The prophet?" he said
"The data of the prisoners in the previous four cases are stored in the hard disk, and the records of different identities are also used..."
"Is the teacher the prophet?"
The staff were a little confused.
"But how is that possible? If the teacher is a prophet, can he predict that he will be killed? "
"No way..."
Gao Cheng's eyes also shrunk slightly, silently looking at the information files and network records that the identification personnel called out.
At first, he did doubt the Andes, but will any fool sacrifice himself to realize the prophecy?
There must be something wrong
Gao Cheng closed his eyes and invited himself to watch the show in the Andes. Until now, he felt that there was still a hand in the dark controlling everything.
As his thinking unfolds, Gao Cheng looks back on the whole story wholeheartedly, as if separated from the whole world. Countless pictures and sounds flash through his mind
At the beginning of the performance, he came on stage, and it took a while for the Andes to come on stage... Later, when the body was found, there was a lot of bleeding in the Andes, not like only one or two minutes
And the light on the stage was too strong. If it wasn't for his superb swordsmanship, could he really finish the performance smoothly?
The media didn't report much about his swordsmanship, and the Andes was too big.
"Well, is hypnosis still used in illusions?" Mu Mu saw the computer data, a fat face thought cableway, "so, Mr. Andes probably chose Chenghu to help perform in order to realize his prophecy. His original intention was to attack Gao Cheng by means of magic hypnosis, but he was accidentally injured and died..."
Gao Cheng's forehead is slightly sweating: "officer, it's not TV. I'm not hypnotized at all. The device here at most is to let the audience experience the virtual image, and combine the stage performance and special lighting effects."
"But then..."
"There was another murderer, and he was a member of the company. Mr. Andes was used unconsciously."
Gao Cheng has been in the thinking space for one minute with the help of the system. Even though there are many people in the world who have the ability of instant memory, they can't grasp all the information as comprehensively as he does. They almost cheat and gather a large amount of information clues together, and the neglected places emerge one by one.
"To be used?" Mu Mu said vaguely, "but at that time, there were only you and Mr. Andes on this side of the stage. Even if a staff member killed Mr. Andes, it would be too late for him to run back to the control room in a minute or two. If he accidentally spilled blood, he would be in trouble..."
"Yes," one of the staff members explained, "when detective Chenghu was in the dressing room contacting the control room, everyone was there, and he didn't meet anyone on the way to the dressing room..."
"The officer asked us, and of course no one was hiding in the lounge and waiting for us to follow."
"Is the murderer from outside?"
"It's impossible. At that time, we didn't see anyone going backstage. If someone came, we could see it clearly from the control room..."
"Could someone else have come in?"
"It's impossible. Except for the staff, all the others have to get tickets into the stadium. There is no mistake in the total number of people..."
A group of staff members quarreled with each other themselves, making daihara's face black. They had to interrupt: "enough, what's the noise? Detective Chenghu, since he said that, he must have a point! "
"But he is doubting us!"
The staff looked dissatisfied and looked at Gao Cheng with strange eyes.
"After all, isn't he also a suspect? Maybe he came backstage to attack and kill the teacher... "
"In fact, Mr. Andes," Gao Cheng said calmly, "was killed before he came to power."
"What?" The rest room suddenly quieted down.
"Although I was not hypnotized, I was deceived by my eyes..."
Gao Cheng glanced around and continued: "yes, I was deceived by the light and camouflage... At that time, it was not Mr. Andes who was with me on the stage, but the murderer who killed Mr. Andes and took his place on the stage!"
Almost thought Gao Cheng was silly, Mu Mu suddenly glared: "is the murderer on stage? This... What's going on? "
"It's the time difference, the time difference," Gao Cheng reasoned to the crowd around him in detail. "If the murderer killed within a minute or two before I found the body, he really couldn't go back to the control room, and might even be hit by me, but
"What if the killer, when leaving the scene disguised as Mr. Andes, did not go backstage, but took off his clothes in the lounge and rushed back to the control room? It took me about a minute or two to contact you when I found the body. If I were a member of the troupe, I might not be able to... "
The members of the magic group swallowed their saliva and looked at each other, distrusting each other.
"That, that murderer is..."
