Everything starts with meeting Ⅱ

I stayed at home and watched the video of the performance, still holding the script in my hand, and pressed the pause button to read the script from time to time, so I saw the night without knowing it.

The hungry flat stomach reminded him that it was time to eat. Lin Yao had no appetite, so he took some bread, ham and other things from the refrigerator to deal with it. While eating, he looked at some places circled on the script.

[The music starts, the first act ends.The scene lights go out, the opening lines of the second act are passed, and the props and scenes of the second act are replaced.Wang Xiu and two other actors entered the stage in the dark, standing in the center of the stage, chasing the light. 】【At the end of the fourth act, Liu Yi positioned himself at the table.The music starts, the lights go out, the scene of the fifth act falls, and the opening music of the fifth act passes】Put down the script and start thinking about it.That table was placed on the stage from the opening of Act Three and should be replaced at the end of Act Four.As a supporting actor, Liu Yi only appeared in Acts [-] and [-]. When he was crushed to death, Acts [-] and [-] were about to switch.Liu Yi finished the performance of the fourth act and left when he was about to switch scenes.At this moment, the large props on the ceiling slowly descended, and the counterweight iron tied to it fell down due to loose wires.At the same time, Zhong Yixiu, who was locked in the bathroom, touched the wooden board by mistake and caused an electric explosion. When the stage was dark, the counterweight iron fell and killed Yan Yi.

Thinking of this, he picked up the script to read again.

The sudden ringing of the doorbell scared away the looming clues in his mind, and annoyed, he checked that the time was 09:30 in the evening.Wondering who will disturb at this time?The invisible instinctive vigilance made him pick up the gun and take off the intercom: "Who?"

"Xiaoyao, open the door when you are at home."

A bolt from the blue!Lin Yao completely forgot about the person outside the door, and hurriedly stuffed the gun into the drawer and opened the door, saying enthusiastically, "Auntie, come in quickly."

Liu Wenting, who didn't know what she had been doing for the past few days, pushed Lin Yao into the house, and when she saw the bread, ham and white water on the table, she didn't want to.Ask: "Where's Qianye?"

"He's gone away."

"You child." Liu Wenting began to teach him a lesson, "Qianye is not at home, so you can't deal with it like this."

"I often deal with him at home."

Liu Wenting laughed dumbfounded, took off her coat, and ordered: "Go to the bedroom and rest for a while, and look at your red eyes. I'll make you something to eat, and I'll call you later."

Lin Yao was a little embarrassed, but Liu Wenting's attitude was firm and she pushed him upstairs.

Thinking about it for a while, I haven't slept for nearly a day and a night, and now I see that the bed is really sleepy.He took off his socks and went to bed, only to realize that the bed was too big after his head was touched by the pillow.It seems that every time I sleep alone, I feel that the bed is too big. If Situ is around, I won't feel this way.

miss him...

Picking up the phone next to the bed and dialing the number, I want to hear the man's voice to comfort my missing.Soon, someone answered over there, and Situ lowered his voice and said, "You really know how to pick the time."

angry!

"Then I hang up."

"Hey! Don't hang up, I just said that casually, are you still angry?"

Hearing his nervous voice, Lin Yao felt extremely relieved.He lay down in another position and said, "Are you sneaking around again?"

"How do you talk? I'm investigating a case and I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat. Have you eaten yet?"

"Your mother made it for me."

"Ah. I forgot her."

Can't help laughing, Lin Yao hugged Situ's pillow into his arms and rubbed it together: "I forgot too. I've been too busy recently, so I don't have time to accompany her. But I'm curious, where is she these days?"

"It's probably at a friend's house. Let's not talk about this, is there any progress in the case?"

"Yes." Lin Yao said lazily, "It's almost there. I estimate that the case will be solved within three days. What about you? Have you found anything new?"

At this time, Situ was not as relaxed as he told Lin Yao.He crouched in the dark at the corner of the corridor, holding a wiretapping receiver in his hand.Afraid that Lin Yao would be worried about him, he said calmly, "Wang Liang used to be a trainee policeman here, and the policeman in charge of leading him had contacted my father's case back then. You know, after my father was sentenced to death with a reprieve, I turned over At that time, I was too busy fighting with ghosts, and didn't pay attention to other things."

"What, is there a problem?"

"There is a problem. After my father was acquitted, the old policeman responsible for leading Wang Liang resigned, and Wang Liang was expelled from the police force and will never be hired. This was an order issued by the chief of the police station himself, but why did Wang Liang be fired? I can't find out. However, the police chief was killed a few years ago, and the death is not clear."

He didn't know when he sat up, hugging Situ's pillow while pinching and pondering, and asked, "Do you suspect that his death is related to your father's case? Or is Wang Liang related to your father?"

"It's hard to say now. I'm looking into it." At this point, Situ turned around, "Honey, I've been thinking about Wang Xiu's case for the past few days. You have to find out where the association got involved. This is the key." .Don't wait for you to solve the case and be placed by the doctor again."

"Hey, do you still remember that Wang Xiu is your client?"

"Come on." Situ was a little disappointed. "Maybe, I've done it for nothing this time, and I won't get any money. I'll discuss it with Mr. Tang later and ask him to give me a salary."

The two of them were chatting vigorously, when Liu Wenting knocked on the door and walked in, Lin Yao pointed to the phone and said, "It's Situ's."

Hearing this, the mother-in-law walked over quickly, snatched the phone, and began to teach his son: "You said you child, you didn't do things right. You left Xiaoyao alone at home and ran out by yourself. I finally came back , make something for Xiaoyao so that he can sleep for a while, what's your call?"

Lin Yao really wanted to explain that he called Situ himself.But it was unknown what Situ said, Liu Wenting's expression changed from surprise to surprise, and then from surprise to relief, with tears glistening in the corners of her eyes.

The phone was hung up in Liu Wenting's hand, and her mother slowly sat beside the bed and sighed.The more Lin Yao watched, the more surprised he became. Before he could ask, Liu Wenting suddenly hugged him.

"Auntie? What did Situ say?"

"Family."

"Family?"

Liu Wenting let go of her hand with a smile, and touched Lin Yao's surprised face: "I'll take care of everything, and I promise it will be the most perfect wedding."

Someone's face is as red as a boiled prawn.

A small episode passed, Lin Yao ate downstairs, and Liu Wenting accompanied him to watch the performance video again.After reading it over and over again, Lin Yao still had difficulty finding out the answer that puzzled him.Liu Wenting on the side watched him from time to time, and asked with a smile, "What don't you understand?"

"I can't tell." Lin Yao put down the remote control. "I suspect that someone moved the fluorescent paper on the stage. I wanted to find some clues through the video, but I didn't find anyone moving abnormally. Look." Lin Haruka rewound the screen, played it between the second and third acts, pointed to the people who changed the props on the dimly lit stage and said, "Their movements are very fast, and there is almost no redundancy. I even I missed it one frame at a time, but I still couldn't find anything. Especially when the fourth act is coming to an end."

"When did the incident happen?" Liu Wenting asked.

"Yes." Lin Yao fast-forwarded the screen again, and pressed pause at the moment when the lights went out at the end of the fourth act, "Look, this is just when the lights are off, and from both sides of the stage, you can vaguely see that you are going to run up to replace the props." From the perspective of the camera, it is very blurry, but from the perspective of the stage, it must be very clear and obvious. I heard from people in the troupe that the actors would avoid the staff who came up to replace the props during the scene change. In other words, Liu Yi should retreat to the safest place to avoid the choreographer who is closest to him when the stage lights go out."

"You're right." Liu Wenting looked puzzled, "You seem to be struggling with a right place."

Yes, what he still can't figure out is because everything is correct on stage.Putting down the remote control in his hand again, he said: "The forensics team told me that the weight iron is on the back of Liu Yi's head, which is at the eleven o'clock position of the table. Judging from the situation on the stage, This place is exactly where the person who replaces the props needs to stand. Liu Yi is an old actor, and it is impossible for him to get in the wrong place in the dark and hinder the staff. In other words, if he is in the right place, just one step will not will be hit."

After hearing Lin Yao's analysis, Liu Wenting nodded frequently.Then he said: "This is indeed very strange. The person who designed the counterweight iron must grasp the accuracy of Liu Yi's moving direction, but why did Liu Yi go in the wrong direction and was crushed to death? Xiaoyao, you said that the fluorescent paper was moved , which one is it?"

Lin Yao took out a pen and paper to draw the figure.

————D

A—————B

After watching it, Liu Wenting murmured to herself: "It seems that C has been moved. This C is just behind Liu Yi's last fixed position. Could it be that he still has eyes behind his head, so he made a mistake by seeing something? ?”

This was originally a joke that Liu Wenting wanted to relieve Lin Yao's overly serious tension, but unexpectedly attracted the other party's attention.He suddenly got up and went to the TV and squatted down, watching all the circumstances of the crime time frame by frame.

In the screen, after Liu Yi finished his last line, another character ended up.The character played by Liu Yi stands still with his hands on the table in grief.The bright light gradually turned to a soft orange, the music gradually sounded, the lights began to dim, one second...three seconds...the counterweight iron fell.

Rewind and rewatch.

It’s still the same video as before, and I rewind and rewatch it again.After watching it seven or eight times, Lin Yao threw down the remote control and was about to rush out of the house.Liu Wenting hastened to follow, and went together to live or die.Lin Yao didn't want to take her with him when he went out to investigate the case in the middle of the night.I had no choice but to say: "I'll be back soon, auntie, you go to bed first." "Let's go together, I want to see it too." Liu Wenting was so imposing that she even snatched Lin Yao's car keys and put her arms around his shoulders , laughing and laughing, "Xiaoyao, it's time to call mom."

Lin Yao was abducted by Liu Wenting out of the house when he was extremely uncomfortable and shy.

The two rushed to the theater late at night, and the person in charge had already seen Lin Yao, so naturally he would not embarrass them.He personally opened the door leading to the stage and pushed the electric switch, indicating that they can watch as they please, so don't be polite.

Lin Yao was not in the mood to say polite words and went straight to the stage.Liu Wenting took out two boxes of good cigarettes from her bag and stuffed them to the person in charge, expressing her sincere thanks.Turning around and chasing Lin Yao onto the stage, he found him standing under the fallen counterweight iron and looking up. After watching for a while, he stared at the screen on the right in a daze.Liu Wenting couldn't help asking him: "What did you find?"

"We were all in the auditorium at that time. When the crime happened, the stage suddenly went dark, followed by the sound of iron falling. From then on, I, even Situ and everyone else had preconceived mistakes."

mistake?Can this group of people get together and make collective mistakes?Regarding this point, Liu Wenting was quite puzzled.But soon, she heard Lin Yao say again: "Liu Yi was smashed to death and the lights went out before the scene. From the first act to the opening of the fourth act, the stage lights must be turned off first during the transition period, so we I thought it was the normal extinguishing of the scene lights between the fourth act and the fifth act. However, I saw from the video that all the actors on the stage were motionless when the lights were turned off. , The actor's next action hardly takes a second."

"Xiaoyao, what exactly are you trying to say?" Liu Wenting became more and more confused as she listened. "Clean it up, it's too messy."

It's time to tidy up, Lin Yao rubbed his face.Said: "The actors on the stage run very fast when the other scenes are switched, and the reaction process does not take more than a second, which means that they have already prepared in their hearts for the end. But when the fourth act is switched and the fifth act is eliminated When the lights were on, all the actors on the stage didn’t move, and the counterweight iron fell right after. In other words, it was not a normal intermission switch, but an accident, so the actors were all stunned.”

"You said it was an accident?"

ah!Liu Wenting suddenly realized, looked at Lin Yao who was convinced in surprise, and gave a thumbs up.

There is an old saying that "the more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more she likes it", but Liu Wenting is saying, "The more you look at the son-in-law, the rarer it is!"
