Amid the applause of the audience, Xie Qi temporarily left the stage.

The audience in the hall also left the stage one after another, and continued to watch the performance half an hour later.

The backstage was already busy at this time, whether it was to put away the props just used or to prepare the props for the next show, everyone was busy.

As an assistant, Alyssa also left the stage. There would be an escape magic show in which she would star in a while, and she would need to concentrate all her energy to deal with it.

Chris and Ke Zhi were already waiting backstage, and both of them looked not very good.

Xie Qi came over with a magic wand and greeted them with a smile.

"We asked around. At the bar on the sixth floor, a waiter said that he saw Mr. William go there last night and asked for a drink, and then met another person, and the two left the bar together."

Ke Zhi first told Xie Qi the results of the investigation they had just conducted.

Chris wanted to speak to stop her, after all, he still suspected that Xie Qi was the murderer, and didn't want him to know too much about the progress of the case.

"Oh? Who was he with?"

Xie Qi asked casually while arranging the props, and he didn't seem to care much about this matter.

"It is said that it was a man with a mustache, tall and thin, wearing a very elegant dress coat. The two seemed to be familiar with each other, and Mr. William even ordered a glass of wine for him."

Ke Zhi ignored Chris's eyes and continued.

"Speaking of which, Miss Alyssa, you didn't say before that Mr. William went out last night. Are you hiding something?"

Alyssa was just putting on makeup at the side. When she heard Ke Zhi's questioning, she looked a little surprised and hurriedly said: "William did go out last night, but I thought he was a little annoyed because he had been studying for too long, and wanted to go out to relax. He came back not long after, and he came back alone. I thought it was nothing, so I didn't say anything..."

"What time did he go back?" Chris asked.

"About 11 o'clock?" Alyssa was a little uncertain.

"Who is the person drinking with him? Can you guess?"

"Ah..." Alyssa hesitated in front of everyone's gaze, then said: "It should be... Mr. Brown James, a pianist. He and William have been friends for many years. He will hold a concert in the concert hall next door this afternoon."

"Friends for many years? Why haven't you seen him yet? Logically, when a friend passes away, shouldn't he come to express his condolences?"

Although Chris's words were unpleasant, even Kezhi thought so.

Whether in the magician William's room or in Alyssa's place, neither of them had seen this person, as if he was hiding from something.

"Oh, are you playing a detective game? Add me in too."

Suddenly, a joyful and playful voice sounded behind everyone.

A man in a white suit was followed by several people and appeared in front of everyone.

Others were still wondering who the man in front of them was, but Kezhi looked like he was struck by lightning. He was stunned in place, his body trembling slightly, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

Manager Les, who had not appeared since the performance began, followed Ivan. Seeing that they did not respond, he stepped forward to tell them that this was the owner of the cruise ship and they could call him Mr. Ivan.

Chris also recognized that this was the big shot who sat in the front row at the Colosseum yesterday. The guests he served wanted to greet him but were driven back. He did not expect that this person would condescend to visit the backstage.

Then he suddenly found that the cruise ship owner was holding something in his hand.

Looking up along the chain, he met a pair of cold eyes.

"Ah!"

Chris was not mentally prepared, and just met Zero's eyes, and was shocked by the other's ferocious temperament and took a few steps back.

"Huh?"

Ivan noticed his fear, tilted his head and said, "Don't be afraid, this is my pet, it has been fed, and it will not eat people."

Eat people?

Except for Xie Qi, everyone present was pale.

Zero's appearance was so recognizable that Chris and Alyssa immediately recognized him as the final winner who had gone through several rounds of rounds yesterday afternoon, with his opponent bitten to death in each round.

Even though they were far away at that time, they could feel the inhuman cruelty and tyranny of the other party. Now that they were so close, ordinary people could not bear such a shock.

Kezhi naturally recognized Zero, who was very famous in the prison. She was wondering why she had never seen him before. This time, she saw that he had become that person's pet.

She looked at Ivan secretly with fear, and was startled when she saw the face under the mask, and suddenly turned her head to look behind her.

Xie QiAfter coming down from the stage, she did not take off the mask. Now the upper half of her face was also covered by the black mask, revealing the perfect half of her face.

Kezhi opened her mouth, somewhat incredulous.

Her eyes kept looking back and forth between the two, wondering if she knew something extraordinary.

Xie Qi and Ivan both felt Kezhi's eyes on them, and they both smiled and turned to look at her at the same time.

It was at this moment that Kezhi suddenly realized that the two people not only looked alike, but even the arc of their mouths was exactly the same.

The memory of the first round of death was still echoing in her mind.

Could this cruise ship owner be Xie Qi's half body?

Could it be that in the first two rounds of cycles, they were all killed by Xie Qi's half body?

She wanted to tell Xie Qi about this discovery, but he didn't seem surprised by Ivan's appearance. He just slightly restrained his smile and said to Ivan: "I'm surprised that you are interested in this kind of game."

"Oh? What's wrong? Did I disappoint you?"

Ivan looked at Xie Qi with a smile and pulled the chain in his hand.

"Come, recognize me. This is my new pet. It's called Zero. Isn't it cute?"

"Well... it's really a bad taste."

The two of them talked about words that others couldn't understand as if they were in another world. The rest of the people couldn't keep up with their pace at all.

It was also the first time that Alyssa officially met Ivan. She didn't expect that the other party would be interested in William's death.

She lowered her head and pursed her lips, but she didn't know that her reaction was all seen by Ke Zhi.

"So where are you now? Have you found the suspect?"

Ivan turned his head and asked Ke Zhi with a smile, and didn't seem to see the other party's horror because of his question.

"I, we found someone who is said to be a good friend of William and a pianist who will hold a concert this afternoon."

Kezhi answered stutteringly, not daring to look up and look at Ivan.

"Oh, it seems there is such a person."

Ivan touched his chin, then turned around and told Les to bring the person over.

"Since we are playing a detective game, how can the suspect not be present?"
