After appearing on TV, her fame will be further promoted, and naturally more people will be willing to go to the theater to watch her performance.
So the two can be said to complement each other.
On TV, Lu Yayingzi's magic is still wonderful, and only a few of the particularly wonderful magic tricks are the ones she has performed in the theater before.
When the two saw this, they thought that this must be the signature magic that the other party was proud of.
After all the performances were over, Tang Ze saw on TV that Lu Yayingzi seemed to look towards the backstage passage, with a slightly worried look on her face.
However, she still bowed immediately and then walked towards the passage on the left.
"She seems to have a fever or something." Ayako watched Lu Yayingzi leave the stage and asked curiously, "Did something happen backstage? It seems like Lu Yayingzi was angry just now."
"Well, I guess so." Tang Ze stood up and looked at the time and said, "It's only eight o'clock now. Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Of course, then wait for me to change."
Ayako got up and walked towards the bedroom, and when Tang Ze was about to follow her, the phone suddenly rang.
"Is there anything I can help you with, Aso-kun?" Tang Ze answered the call as soon as he saw who was calling.
"Something happened. A murder just happened here."
Ma Shengshi said without any greeting, "I'll go to the scene first. The deceased fell from the upstairs and is no longer alive."
"You maintain the scene for now and contact headquarters to have them send someone over." Tang Ze said quickly but without appearing panicked: "I'll be there right away. Report the location."
"It's at the Pink Theater in Beika-cho 3-chome," Masashi said. "I'll text you the exact location later."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ze quickly walked into the room and told Ayako about the situation, then changed his clothes and drove to the theater that Masamichi mentioned.
After arriving at the theater, Tang Ze was shocked to find that what was displayed outside the theater was actually Lu Yayingzi's promotional poster. Thinking of the last scene on TV, Tang Ze suspected that was when the case happened.
Tang Ze looked around but didn't see any suspected murder scene around.
It should be the time for the guests to leave. Logically speaking, when a murder happens, there will definitely be people watching the fun.
But at this moment, the audience in the theater seemed to be fine. They were laughing and discussing the previous magic show with their companions, as if they had no idea that a murder had occurred.
While complaining about whether magician really had a high-risk profession that was easily linked to murders, Tang Ze called Masashi and saw him walking out of a remote alley next to the theater.
Seeing this, Tang Ze showed a look of understanding and knew why there was no commotion.
This small alley is the gap between two buildings. It is not too big. In addition, there is a propaganda poster blocking the front, so naturally no one noticed that a murder occurred here.
In order to reduce the impact, Tang Ze contacted the headquarters and asked them to keep quiet when they brought people in. He then followed Masamichi to the crime scene.
When he arrived at the crime scene, Tang Ze saw an old man with completely white hair lying on the ground, and next to him was an entire window frame and broken glass fragments scattered around.
"His skull was fractured and his shin bones were damaged. The theater staff said he died from a fall."
Ma Chengshi squatted beside the corpse and took out an iron cigarette box from his pocket and said, "Besides that, I smelled a clear smell of alcohol and tobacco when I examined it.
Here, this is the cigarette case he had on him."
“It’s really exquisite.”
Tang Ze took the silver cigarette box. It was about the size of a palm and had a "V"-shaped mark on it, which was obviously where the lid was opened.
Tang Ze pressed the "v" below, and the flap above popped open, revealing the neatly arranged cigarettes inside.
"Looks like it fell down along with the window frame."
Tang Ze took in the scene, then looked at Masashi and said, "By the way, why are you here?"
"Actually, I'm here on a date."
Masashi sighed and said, “Junhui recently took on a costume and props job for a TV station.
Their TV station planned to broadcast Lu Yayingzi's magic show, so they invited us staff members to be the audience.
Firstly, this helps to control the scene, and secondly, it can be regarded as a benefit for employees, and they can also bring friends or family.
So I accompanied Jun Hui to watch the magic show, but who knew a murder would happen."
At this point, Masashi scratched his head and said, "Could it be that after being with you for so long, I've also been infected with your 'detective physique'?"
"You just said 'Death God Physique'. That's incredible." Tang Ze finished his rant with a frown on his face, then looked around and said, "By the way, why don't I see Shimabukuro?"
"This is the crime scene. I asked her to go buy some coffee nearby," Masashi said. "We're definitely going to be busy tonight, so it's best to get started on the autopsy as soon as possible."
"That's true."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "From the scene, it is most likely that it fell together with the window frame, but we can't draw a definitive conclusion yet.
It would be best if the condition of the body could be ascertained and recorded as soon as possible.”
At this point, Tang Ze activated his super sense of smell and raised his eyebrows. "Huh? This smells like oranges, is it orange oil?"
"Orange oil? Does he smell like that?"
Ma Shengshi was surprised and said, "If I remember correctly, this should be an essential oil extracted from the peel of citrus fruits."
"You know quite a lot."
