The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

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

The subsequent process is the same as the previous reasoning, but the reason for doing it again is that they want to know under what circumstances the victim will turn around.

According to my experience, the vast majority of murders in which the deceased is attacked from behind are committed by acquaintances. Schiller folded his arms and said, If it is a stranger or someone who meets for the first time, it is difficult to be in complete control. Back to the state, people will only hand over their backs to the other party when they have greater trust in the other party.

Gordon nodded and said, That's true. If it's a direct confrontation, most of the dead will be shot in the chest. This is very common in gang fights.

On the contrary, if members of the same gang fight for power, especially between father and son brothers, the sudden attack occurs, and the wounds are often on the back.

If an acquaintance committed the crime, it means that the murderer may be someone from the theater troupe. Who do you think is the most suspect? Schiller asked.

Gordon paced on the spot, thinking about it and said, It's hard to say, both love and vendetta are possible. Although the owner of the troupe said that Vicky is very popular, but knowing people and faces but not hearts, no one knows what the other people are like. Thought.

The problem now is where the murder weapon is. Bruce stepped forward and said, This kind of penetrating wound is not something that can be done with ordinary sharp weapons. If it is to cause a complete penetration, the blade must be at least two to three feet long.

Now, the daggers with long swords on the market, even if they are long daggers, will not exceed one foot. Schiller Street: According to my observation of the wound section, the murder weapon is straight and long, about three fingers wide, and the front and back are almost equal in width. .”

Long sword. Bruce replied: Only a long sword close to that used by medieval knights can meet these characteristics.

This is a troupe, so it's reasonable to have this kind of sword, Gordon said, and called a police officer, Go to the owner of the troupe, ask him to call the prop master, and ask if there is any sword in the troupe. What props are missing.

After a while, the owner of the troupe came in with the prop master, who was 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 the Angelica troupe. Originally, her aunt was in this job, but some time ago, her aunt suffered from physical problems. If there is a problem, she will take over.

Molly looked shy, submissive, and didn't dare to answer. Gordon stepped forward and asked, Have you checked the inventory of the props? Did you find anything missing?

Yes... yes. Molly nodded, showing a scared look, the owner of the troupe glared at her, Molly moved to the side, and said, Just now, when I went to the props room to count the quantity , and found that the saber that should have been a set with the knight's armor was missing.

What are you doing? The troupe owner reprimanded, Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the props room? Why are things being stolen?

Schiller stretched out his hand to comfort 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 suit of armor was worn at the beginning of Macbeth's performance.

Did Macbeth open with armor? Schiller asked, frowning.

At this time, the owner of the troupe said: Our troupe has re-edited the four major tragedies to a certain extent. Of course, the plot has not been changed, but the scenes and costumes of the characters have been redesigned to relieve people's aesthetic fatigue from classic plays.

In order to highlight the heroic image of Macbeth in the early stage, we designed a set of armor for him, oh yes, it is now being worn on Alex's body. The troupe owner said to Molly as if remembering something: Quickly, call Alex over here and ask if he took the long sword away.

After a while, wearing a suit of armor, Alex came in with a loss of soul. Schiller looked at him and found that the armor on his body was indeed newly built, with very weak traces of wear and tear on the metal parts. people.

Alex, where did the long sword that goes with this armor go? Do you know? the troupe owner asked.

After reacting for a long time, Alex 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, trying to get out of that sad state, and said in a low tone:

When the rehearsal started today, I was late. In addition, today's rehearsal was the first full-props rehearsal. I hurried to the backstage and started changing clothes.

Molly told me that Macbeth has new armor and asked me to get it from the props room. As soon as I entered the props room, I saw this new set of armor, so I planned to put it on.

However, wearing the armor is a bit complicated, and I'm in a hurry. I won't be able to put it on for a while. At this time, the makeup artist of the troupe happened to pass by the door of the prop room. With his help, I put on the armor.

As for the long sword... It's also the first time I wear this outfit, so I don't even know how to wear a sword. Alex said with a dazed expression.

Makeup artist? Gordon looked at the troupe owner with his hands on his hips and said, Then, please invite the makeup artist over.

After a while, the make-up artist also came over. It was a man in a pink jacket. After he came in, he folded his arms and snorted coldly and said, I didn't see any long swords in the prop room at all. It was Molly who was careless and didn't know where to put it.

Mo Li, the prop artist, murmured, not daring to speak, as if she was afraid of the makeup artist, but she still shook her head vigorously, denying what the makeup artist said.

Schiller stood aside, watching these people. The prop master Molly said that Alex was the last one to leave the prop room, so he should know where the long sword was. Alex said that the prop master didn't tell him that there was a long sword, so he didn't pay attention. The make-up artist said that there was no long sword in the prop room, and the prop master might have lost it.

At this time Bruce took the initiative to go up and said: According to what you said, the show must be postponed. I originally wanted to invite a few friends to watch it together. Now it seems that I should forget it.

As he said that, he shook his head and was about to go out, but the owner of the troupe hurriedly stopped him. The owner of the troupe wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, No, Mr. Wayne, the play will continue as usual, and Vicky will not participate in Macbeth's performance. , it will not affect the subsequent performance at all...

Forget it! Bruce raised his voice and said, A main character died within a few days after you came here. Who knows if there is some murderer lurking in your troupe? If I come to the show, will I die too? At this?

He snorted coldly, and walked out, saying: I have to ask my butler to tell other people's butlers, but please don't come to such a dangerous place, in case you lose your life, hmph...

The face of the troupe boss has turned pale visibly, he certainly knows the famous Bruce Wayne.

Today, when movies and TV shows are popular, traditional theater has already become a hobby of a small group of people, and most of this small group of people are rich people, especially those who have been rich for decades the rich.

The Wayne family is the leader in this circle. If Bruce Wayne spreads bad things about their troupe in the circle, then they really don't need to hang out in this circle.

Molly! Didn't I say it long ago? Every prop must be recorded when it is put into storage. Where's your record book?! The troupe boss looked at Molly fiercely and asked.

I... Molly showed a terrified expression, and at this moment, the owner of the troupe pressed on step by step, he said: If you can't get the record, it must be you who took the long sword! Mr. Police Officer, you She should be taken to the police station, don't let her endanger our safety here!

Just 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, and that she can be the heroine in front of the stage, and you can only hide behind the scenes as a prop division!

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

It would have been better if she hadn't run, but if she did, she would confirm the identity of the suspect. Two police officers at the door immediately surrounded her and pinned her down.

Molly was just a skinny girl who couldn't resist at all, but she broke down and screamed loudly: Andover! You scum! Obviously you wanted to kill Vicky! Because she wanted to leave the troupe and go to Hollywood develop!

It was you who asked me to bring you the long sword! You even burned the prop book, and even suggested that Alex put on that suit of armor so that he could be planted on his head, you black-hearted boss! Murder mad!

Mr. Police Officer, she is framing me! The troupe owner immediately stepped forward and explained, She wanted to get rid of the crime, so she wanted to find a scapegoat. How could I kill Vicky? She is our heroine here. !

It's you! It's you! Molly shouted, You overheard Vicky and Alex's private conversation, and learned that Vicky not only wants to go to Hollywood, but also wants to take Alex with her. I hated her so much that I wanted to kill her!

Officer, you have to trust me, isn't the good reputation of the Angelica Troupe for so many years enough to guarantee me?

The owner of the troupe was obviously a little anxious. He walked up to Gordon and said to him: Our family has run the troupe for so many years and has dealt with many celebrities. They all know that it is impossible for me to do such a thing. of……

This was obviously putting pressure on the Gotham Police Department, but it exposed his guilty conscience even more. At this time, Bruce stopped leaving, and he turned to Gordon and said, I trust this boss even more. What do you say?

Gordon didn't understand what he meant, but seeing his expression, he nodded in agreement, waved to the policeman and said, Take this lady to the police station first, and let her wait in the interrogation room. .”

Schiller winked at Bruce and said, Now, the most important thing we have to do is find the murder weapon.

Bruce left the room. Before leaving, he said, It's a bit late now. I'm going back to rest. Check it out slowly.

Then, Schiller turned to the troupe owner and said, Don't worry, sir, please go and call the actors who rehearsed together now, and we need to ask them for some details.

The owner of the troupe left the room immediately without saying anything.

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