Chapter 53 The Queen Under the Gears
Gu Hansheng protected Shi Yi tightly and held her in his arms to prevent the people around him from getting too excited and to disperse them.
Tang Yu ran over from the stage and handed the microphone to Gu Hansheng.
Gu Hansheng tapped the microphone, and it made a "sizzling" sound of electricity.
After confirming that the microphone was on, he couldn't help but speak loudly and seriously.
"Everyone, calm down. I'm a police officer. Something happened at the theater. Please cooperate with the investigation and don't panic! Just cooperate with the police. Once we confirm your innocence, we'll let you go immediately!"
As they spoke, several people stood up from their seats and walked directly to the front of the stage.
Gu Hansheng flipped up from the stage and stood in front of Yu Ming.
"Where are the director and director of your play? I want to see them."
All the actors on the stage were stunned by the situation. Some of the timid ones were even wiping their tears and trembling uncontrollably.
Yu Ming was also extremely panicked at this moment and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"The director...and the theatre boss are all backstage."
Gu Hansheng nodded.
"take me."
Several people followed Yu Ming and found Tupin arguing fiercely with the boss of the drama in the dark backstage.
At this time, Tupin was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick. He was talking to another middle-aged man, and no one knew what he was talking about.
As they were talking, they almost got into a fight.
Just as Tupin was about to raise his fist, it was caught by Gu Hansheng.
Tupin turned around and started cursing.
"Who are you? What are you doing backstage? What do you staff members do for a living? Why are you letting unauthorized people into the backstage?!"
Fortunately, several people carry their IDs with them when they go out.
Shi Yi and the others silently took out their police IDs from their pockets and placed them in front of Tupin.
“We are the police.”
After seeing the IDs of several policemen, Tupin withdrew his hand somewhat angrily and smoothed his messy curly hair.
"Oh, you are the police. You came really quickly."
Mi Chen said seriously from the side.
"We didn't come here because of the report. We were here to watch the play."
When Tuding heard Mi Chen's words, he was actually a little happy under the circumstances.
Who would have thought that his reputation as a thumbtack would spread even within the police force, and that some police officers would even come to support him?
Gu Hansheng said seriously.
"Just now, a voice came from backstage saying that the heroine was in trouble. Where is she now?"
Speaking of this, the faces of the people around were not very good.
Tupin's face also turned blue and purple in an instant.
Soon, several people came to the prop room together.
The theater is very large, and the theater they are in is the largest venue in the entire Anhui Theater.
With four floors and more than 2,000 seats, the cost is undoubtedly huge.
Today, the petals falling from the sky were specially designed by Pushpin, and there is a special prop mechanism in the theater.
After arriving at a small prop room, I saw that the door of the entire prop room was open and it was pitch black inside.
The boss of the drama spoke helplessly.
"Officers, the power supply in this prop room has tripped for some reason. I've already called someone to fix it. Please bear with me."
As he spoke, the drama owner wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He was also very nervous. His theater covered several thousand acres and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Who would have known that the venue was chosen by a Chinese director.
He was originally hesitant, but Tuding directly gave him a deposit of 1 million.
This was enough to keep the entire theater going, and for the sake of money, the boss agreed.
When the tickets for the play were on pre-sale, they were all sold out within seconds, which also brought a lot of profits to the owner.
They hadn't been happy for a few days when a murder occurred.
This this this....
Several people took the flashlight from the drama owner and walked into the dark room.
The prop room is about 50 square meters, not too big, but there are many complicated mechanisms inside, and there are some shelves stacked around with some props on them.
Feng Ming shone the flashlight inside and asked the boss who was trembling a little.
"Who manages the props in this room?"
"It's our prop manager."
"Where are the others?"
The boss stretched his neck to look back and called someone at random.
"Go, go call Pang Ziyang over!"
The people behind him were already frightened by the situation. When they heard what the boss said, they nodded hurriedly and ran away.
Shi Yi was standing behind Gu Hansheng. The two of them were holding flashlights and scanning the surroundings.
In fact, there is nothing special about this room. There is mainly a huge mechanism in the center of the room.
It's a gear that's like a pendulum clock.
At this time, the gear has stopped rotating, and there is a silk thread connecting the central gear to the ceiling.
That thread seemed to be pulling the entire gear into action.
The boss said on the side.
"Our hall is quite special because it has a very special mechanism, which is what you officers see before you."
"Once this mechanism is activated, you can scatter some ribbons, flower petals, and the like inside, and they will be transported directly to the sky above our theater through the movement inside."
"Actually, our hall wasn't used very often. After all, there weren't any big names who could sell out so many seats."
"It was Director Thumbtack's strong request that we use this hall this time. Director Thumbtack also strongly recommended that we use rose petals as a thank you gift..."
Mi Chen was a little confused.
"Why? It's quite romantic."
The boss shook his head awkwardly.
"I don't know... maybe it's just to show off."
The corners of Shi Yi's mouth twitched, and then he and Gu Hansheng walked to the huge gear and touched it gently.
The gear smelled slightly of rust and felt a little slippery to the touch.
It was too dark inside, so Shi Yi shone a flashlight and saw spots of blood on it.
After several people's flashlights were combined together to show the appearance of the huge gear, everyone's pupils shrank.
“Snap—”
Suddenly, the lights in the prop room lit up.
Several people stood beside the huge gear, silently looking down at the fragments stuck under the gear.
At this moment, the drama owner was standing behind them and was caught off guard when he saw the situation.
He couldn't help but tremble all over, covering his mouth in fear, his pupils trembling.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
After a while, he couldn't bear it anymore and ran straight to the door.
"Ugh—ooh—"
The sound of violent vomiting reached the ears of several people. Gu Hansheng frowned and took out his cell phone.
"Hello, is this the police station? This is the Anhui Theater... Someone died here..."
