Chapter 49 The musician has an accident
Li Qihan's words fell gently on her heart like a feather.
Xia Lili blinked and suddenly realized that this cold-faced devil might be comforting her.
The crystal chandelier in the center of the banquet hall gradually dimmed, and the musicians' figures were frozen in the soft light.
The moment the conductor raised his arm, the first note flowed out from the Steinway piano, followed by the lingering sound of the violin, and the low cello joined in at the right time.
The voices of the three intertwined in the air, and even Xia Lili, who didn't understand music, found the music pleasant to the ears.
This band’s appearance fee must be very expensive!
Xia Lili's eyes fell on these brightly dressed musicians, and she couldn't help but imagine what it would be like for her brother to perform on stage.
As Xia Lili's eyes swept across the performing musicians, her eagle-like, ultra-clear eyes suddenly set their sights on a female violinist.
She looked focused, with a furrowed brow, and was clearly not in the same state of mind as the other musicians around her who were also immersed in the music.
Xia Lili, with her 5.3 vision, noticed that the violinist had a thick layer of concealer on his wrist, which had a very powdery feel, obviously to cover up some marks.
Xia Lili's "eagle eyes" can spot the clues with just one glance.
Perhaps it was because Xia Lili's gaze was too direct, the violinist noticed someone was staring at her. She suddenly looked up and bumped into Xia Lili's sight.
Her eyes were like a frightened bird.
Xia Lili was wondering why the violinist reacted so strongly.
Suddenly, a layer of fog appeared in front of my eyes, and my vision became blurred.
Suddenly, a hallucination related to the violinist appeared in her mind!
In the hallucination, the violinist returned to the dressing room after the performance.
She waited in the locker room until everyone else had left, then pulled a USB drive from her bag.
He placed the USB drive in locker No. 47 in the dressing room and then left.
After a while, the violinist opened the wardrobe and found that the USB flash drive was gone, but there was a bank card.
She picked up the bank card with a look of surprise and nervousness. She carefully put the bank card into her bag, finally made a phone call to the orchestra director to resign, and got into a white online taxi.
The screen flashed again.
A white online ride-hailing car overturned on a winding mountain road, emitting thick smoke, and the violinist inside was covered in blood.
The online car-hailing driver climbed out of the driver's seat, took the bank card from the woman's bag, threw the bag off the cliff, and called 110 and 120.
The driver's face was calm when he made the call, but his tone was frightened, as if he was pretending.
The hallucination ended here, and Xia Lili's vision returned to clarity.
At this time, the violinist no longer looked at Xia Lili. He lowered his head to hide the panic on his face and pretended to be seriously playing the violin.
Xia Lili looked away and pulled Li Qihan's sleeve instead.
Li Qihan saw that she had something to say and leaned towards her slightly.
Xia Lili whispered to him, "Something's going to happen to that violinist with his hair tied up."
Li Qihan's gaze fell on the violinist that Xia Lili mentioned. This violinist's state was indeed different from the others, and he seemed absent-minded.
He glanced at the people around him who were concentrating on listening to music, and quietly pulled Xia Lili away with an intimate gesture, earning him gossipy looks from the people around him.
The two came to the open-air garden, and Xia Lili told Li Qihan about the hallucination she had just seen.
"By the way, I noticed that the violinist had heavy concealer applied on his right wrist. He must have a scar on his hand."
After Xia Lili finished speaking, Li Qihan fell into deep thought for a moment.
Another murder.
"While the waiter was showing me around the Bitian Villa, I asked him about the cost of hiring a band to perform."
Li Qihan narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard a piece of news that a cellist in the orchestra recently took a long vacation."
"So I paid attention to it."
“Now let me hear you talk about the violinist’s anomaly.
The violinist who had a car accident after leaving his job and the cellist who took a long vacation were both in the same orchestra.
The overlapping factors in the case are enough to arouse people's vigilance.
"I think Shangguan Xu's murder may be related to the violinist's accident."
He asked Xia Lili, "Did you see the license plate number of the violinist's ride-hailing car?"
Xia Lili recalled: "It was a new energy vehicle, the license plate number was South AF164..."
Li Qihan tugged at his tie, which also had a communication microphone installed on it.
"Xiao Luo, did you hear the information I just said?"
Xiao Luo immediately replied: "Got it, I will contact the traffic police team here immediately."
Li Qihan suddenly stopped him and said, "Don't use the name of the Criminal Investigation Team to check the car at Bitian Villa."
"They said in the name of the Traffic Police Corps that the Meteorological Bureau warned of heavy convective rain tonight and that they needed to control the flow of vehicles in and out to ensure vehicle safety."
Xiao Luo marveled at Captain Li's caution: "I understand!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Lili glanced at the weather forecast on her mobile phone. There will be heavy convective rain in the mountains tonight!
Li Qihan is a very comprehensive person.
Xia Lili couldn't help but wonder, "If there's no convection rain on the mountain, what excuse would you come up with?"
Li Qihan stared at his phone and typed away, then casually replied, "I'll compile it based on the actual situation and then notify the relevant departments for cooperation."
Xia Lili was shocked: "Ah? Made up on the spot?"
Li Qihan looked up at this moment, put his phone in his pocket, and said in a serious and cold voice: "You heard wrong, it's improvisation."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the concert hall. With a few steps, he took a long step and distanced himself from Xia Lili.
"The most important thing now is to get the USB drive that appeared repeatedly in your hallucinations."
"Keep the violinist safe."
Xia Lili hurried to follow.
Li Qihan frowned: "The most important thing now is how to talk to the violinist naturally."
Xia Lili's eyes rolled: "I have an idea."
Li Qihan stared at the cunning light in Xia Lili's eyes, narrowed his eyes, and had a bad feeling: "What?"
Xia Lili whispered a few words in his ear.
Li Qihan's face turned dark after hearing this.
"Are you sure you're not teasing me?"
Xia Lili pushed him into the hall: "This is really the best solution!"

The concert is over.
He Lingyao, the violinist, realized that the concert was over when she saw the musicians around her stand up one after another.
The band leader walked up to her and said in a serious tone, "Xiao He, what's wrong with you? You were distracted during the performance today and played several wrong notes."
"Fortunately, the other pianists are online."
He Lingyao looked apologetic: "Sorry, foreman, something happened at home."
Seeing that she admitted her mistake with a good attitude, the foreman didn't say anything.
He Lingyao put away her piano and prepared to return to the locker room.
At the corner of the corridor, someone blocked my way.
A man with a noble temperament and a stern face stopped her and handed her a business card.
This man was Li Qihan.
Li Qihan raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss, can I have a chat with you?"
He lowered his voice, his tone filled with endless hints: "Let's talk somewhere else."
He Lingyao's eyes flashed with surprise, and her gaze fell on his Patek Philippe watch.
Her eyebrows moved, she took the business card, and said with a smile: "Sir, does your wife know about you doing this?"
"I noticed her during the performance. She was sitting next to you."
Li Qihan's forehead jumped, and he tried his best to resist the urge to turn around and leave. He really wanted to smash Xia Lili's head right now.
What a bad idea.
