“What’s going on? Why did Zhang Yi die?” The visitor turned pale after seeing Zhang Yi’s body lying in the center of the stage.
“This is Director Ma of our theater.” Director Liu quickly introduced to the police.
Gu Chen looked at the people rushing onto the stage and began to look at them from head to toe.
With entry-level observation skills, it is easy to find details that are easily overlooked by ordinary people, but Gu Chen gained nothing this time and did not find any abnormalities.
In other words, there is currently no detailed connection between this so-called Director Ma and the deceased Zhang Yi.
What Gu Chen now needs to urgently exclude are various unrelated persons in order to narrow the scope of the investigation.
“Are you the person in charge of the theater?” Lu Weiwei asked casually: “Where were you just now?”
“Just now?” Director Ma raised his forehead and said, “Just now I was drinking tea with the leaders of the Railway Construction Bureau, and then I received a call from Uncle Zhang, saying that there was a performance accident here, so I rushed over without stopping.”
“Can anyone testify?” Gu Chen asked again.
“some.”
“Who exactly are they?”
“Does the leader of the Railway Construction Bureau count? Also, the salesperson of the tea bar.”
“That’s enough.” Gu Chen quickly finished writing the questions asked by Director Ma.
“Are you doubting me?” Director Ma was stunned and couldn’t help but said: “Let me tell you, Zhang Yi is the best artistic actor in our theater. I am very sad about her death…”
It felt like Director Ma was adding too much drama to him. Gu Chen rolled his eyes at him and said to himself, I didn’t say you were the murderer. Will your excitement affect my judgment, okay?
In comparison, the conductor, Uncle Zhang, seems much smarter.
He knows that in TV dramas, the more you talk, the faster you die.
Therefore, after Zhang Yi fell and died, he was honest and did not want anything. He said whatever was asked and said nothing about irrelevant nonsense.
“It’s just a routine matter. Anyone who is related will be investigated.” Gu Chen replied helplessly.
“But I’m not at the crime scene. Please don’t look at me like you’re interrogating a prisoner, okay? I feel very uncomfortable.”
“I’m sorry, our looks are like this. There’s nothing you can do if you feel uncomfortable.”
Director Ma talked too much, and Lu Weiwei was a little unhappy, so she suddenly snarled at him.
“Director Ma.” At this time, Director Liu walked up to Director Ma and whispered: “When the performance started just now, these two police comrades were already at the scene.”
Director Ma was stunned, turned to look at Gu Chen and Officer Wang, and asked, “Do you, the police, know anything? Why are you here?”
In his opinion, the police arrived in advance. Could it be that there was some important operation? And this Zhang Yi fell from a high altitude, which also made Director Ma seem to be quite shocked.
Officer Wang said: “This is not a question you want to ask. You just need to cooperate with the police investigation now.”
“So what’s wrong with me?”
“Not yet.”
“Then can I go? I feel very uncomfortable now.”
Director Ma held his forehead, looking like he had a headache.
“You are the person in charge of the theater. Our police will have many questions to ask. Please cooperate actively.”
“Okay, I won’t go far. My old headache has returned. I’ll just go to the office and sit there. If you have any questions, you can go to me.”
Gu Chen looked at Officer Wang and asked him to make a decision.
“It is necessary and I am bound to cooperate with the police in handling the case.”
After saying this, Director Ma walked back to the office with a frustrated look.
Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and asked, “Do you think Director Ma… is suspicious?”
“I can’t say for sure, but I seem to be very depressed about Zhang Yi’s death.” Gu Chen could only make a preliminary inference based on the clues he had: “To investigate the cause of Zhang Yi’s death, the social relationship between these characters must be Be clear, otherwise it will be difficult to make a judgment.”
“You mean… Zhang Yi has a very close relationship with Director Ma?”
After thinking for a while, Lu Weiwei said again: “But isn’t she in love with Zhang Feng?”
“Sex and the City, any situation is possible.” Officer Wang came over and interrupted, turning to look at Director Liu not far away and said: “I think there is something wrong with Director Liu.”
“Senior Brother Wang is right.” Gu Chen also agreed: “Before the specific murderer is investigated, everyone is a suspect, and it cannot be ruled out. Only after eliminating all possibilities, no matter how unreasonable the remaining ones are, That’s the truth.”
What Gu Chen said is also a famous saying often mentioned by Officer Wang.
Of course, this exclusion must be based on strict logical reasoning and evidence. This sentence is almost the principle followed by all investigators.
“Gu Chen is right.” Officer Wang snorted and said, “It’s not difficult to kill someone, as long as no one suspects you.”
“Then who do you think the murderer is most likely to be?” Lu Weiwei was very direct. She didn’t like to think, or she didn’t like to think actively.
In comparison, she prefers to follow the ideas provided by Gu Chen and Officer Wang, which makes her feel much more relaxed.
“We can’t judge prematurely now. We must at least sort out Zhang Yi’s social relationships first and see if there is any conflict with anyone.” Gu Chen gave his own opinion.
This sentence was what Officer Wang was supposed to say, but Gu Chen suddenly got the better of him. Officer Wang felt a little nervous.
This kid is indeed a little faster than me in terms of reaction ability, well, it’s still a lot faster.
“That’s right. If we can’t judge from the situation at the scene, we can change our thinking and start investigating from the social relationships of the deceased. This can narrow the scope of the investigation.”
“Senior Brother Wang, do you think there’s something fishy about this note?” Gu Chen had always been suspicious of the curse note.
The show Zhang Yi performed was called “Dream Angel”, but according to the note, it seemed that someone was extremely dissatisfied with everything Zhang Yi did.
“Ignore that for now.” Officer Wang, an old comrade, answered: “Maybe the murderer is deliberately misleading us. How can there be any ghosts or gods? It’s just people’s imagination.”
“The next person to ask should be Liao Kaiwen.” Gu Chen took out his notebook and walked directly towards Director Liu.
“Where is the Liao Kaiwen you mentioned? He was here just now.” Gu Chen asked.
“He should be in the props room. He looked very sad just now. After all, Zhang Yi was very good to him, but now that he is gone, his mood is not much better.”
Director Liu pointed to a direction backstage and said he could lead the way.
“Very good, please take us there now.” Gu Chen prepared to record the last suspect’s interrogation.
However, the moment everyone walked out of the side door, they suddenly heard a shrill scream coming from not far away.
Suddenly, a group of people were stunned on the spot.
“Is… is it Director Ma?” Director Liu’s face turned pale. He was the first to discover that the source of the sound came from Director Ma.
