Chapter 59 Someone Died
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Nangong was not in a hurry. He still sat in his seat calmly and said, "It's just a magic trick. There's no need to panic."
Suddenly, the woman seemed to be sucked in by something and slowly disappeared in mid-air.
After a while, calm returned to the stage, and the woman and Yang Ning appeared on the stage again to bow to everyone.
But everyone seemed to be dazed and still thinking about what had just happened. No one dared to applaud.
Nangong: "It's true that the waves behind push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. A person must be bold enough. This young man performed so brilliantly, shouldn't we give him a warm round of applause?" After saying that, he stood up and clapped his hands alone, and slowly the audience also applauded enthusiastically, which lasted for a long time.
Backstage, Jun Lan grabbed Yang Ning and asked, "Where did you get the inspiration for this magic trick?"
Yang Ning: "Why? Doesn't it look good?"
Jun Lan: "It's indeed wonderful, but it's also too scary! If it were me, Nangong would have been scared to death by you. Did you tell him about this beforehand?"
Yang Ning: "No! I plan to give him a surprise."
Jun Lan: "You're really brave. That's the boss, and this surprise might turn into a shock, okay?"
Yang Ning touched Jun Lan's nose with his finger: "What a coward! You look so scared that your nose is sweating. Don't worry about me. The boss is not as timid as you. Didn't you see? The boss really appreciated my magic just now!" Then he turned and left the backstage.
After several boring performances, the finale "Hamlet" finally arrived.
Nangong had already become impatient sitting there.
"It's so boring, Situ, take me home."
Xu Tuohai: "Why rush? It's almost over. Maybe there's more to come!"
Situ: "If you like the Easter eggs at the end so much, just keep them and watch them by yourself. We'll be leaving first."
Just as they were about to leave, a dramatic scene occurred.
The scene that was about to be performed on the stage was that the prince was going to present a gift to his wicked uncle and stepfather, the king, and that gift was the head of the king's personal guard.
The problem lies in the gift box.
The first person to discover the problem was Mark, the public relations actor who played the prince. When he picked up the box, he felt something was wrong, because according to the previous rehearsal, the box should be empty and weightless. However, this time the box was heavy, and a slippery sticky liquid oozed out from the bottom from time to time.
But he didn't think much of it at the time, and guessed that it might have been added temporarily by colleagues in the props group for the sake of realism.
At this time, the actor playing the king took the box and held it high, shouting: "My personal bodyguard! My most loyal guard, my dearest friend, why did you die so tragically... I will follow you in death."
When he was emotional, he accidentally slipped on the sticky fake blood that dripped from the box and fell to the ground. He couldn't help cursing: "Even if it's for realism, you don't need so much blood plasma, right? Doesn't ketchup cost money?"
His action caused the audience to burst into laughter.
Nangong stopped walking away.
Situ: "Why don't you leave again?"
Nangong: "I hope I'm just being overthinking it, but this time Takumi is right. The show is about to begin. Hush, let's watch it!"
At that moment, he saw the fake head lying on the ground. Oh my god... that head was Tom's.
He shouted: "Someone's dead, someone's dead..."
Mark also saw Tom's head and was so scared that he stumbled off the stage with him.
The audience was bewildered, thinking it was just for dramatic effect.
Suddenly, all the lights in the venue went out and thick curtains were drawn on the stage.
The lights in the auditorium came on.
Jun Lan's voice came from the stage: "Thank you all for watching. Tonight's party is over. Please leave in an orderly manner. Thank you for your cooperation."
"Ah? It's over."
"Yeah, why is this party so weird?"
"Let's go, let's go, it's all over, why are you still here, let's go."
The audience left one by one.
Nangong: "Let's go backstage and take a look!"
Situ nodded and followed him into the backstage.
A group of people in the backstage were still surrounding the head, which was unknown whether it was real or fake.
When everyone saw the boss coming, they all made way.
They all greeted Nangong in a bewildered manner: "Boss."
Nangong looked at the head and asked, "Have you called the police?"
Jun Lan: "Report it, and the police will come."
Situ: "Today is the last day of the year, and people are still being asked to watch this at this time. It's really an eyesore."
Nangong: "Junlan, I'll leave this place to you and Xu Tuohai. Situ and I have something to do and will leave first. Please report any news to me immediately."
Junlan nodded.
On the way, Nangong: "Situ, what do you think about this matter?"
Situ was playing with his phone when he said nonchalantly, "In my opinion, it's just a common revenge case. Tom offended many people and only managed to get close to them. It was only a matter of time before he met this end."
Nangong: "Can you play with that thing in your hand less? It's not as fun as women. Please, if you have time, learn from Takumi and pick up girls, otherwise people will really think we're having sex. What I'm most afraid of now is..."
Situ put away his phone: "Are you worried that this matter will be exploited by someone and it will get out of control?"
Nangong didn't say anything, but just stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.
Situ: "Even if Yang Ning harbors resentment towards you, he still cares about family affection after all, so you don't have to worry that he will do anything unfaithful. He is still young and his temperament is inevitably a bit naughty sometimes, so just teach him slowly. As for Xu Tuohai..." He paused.
"It's just a minor fight, he won't do anything earth-shattering. With me watching over him, I believe he won't go too crazy."
Nangong turned his head back, leaned back in his chair and said coldly: "If you say it, you must do it."
Situ took out his mobile phone and continued playing Honor of Kings.
The police rushed to the banquet hall of the LaCrosse Hotel.
The persons responsible for this case are Xu Lin and Yue Xiaofeng.
Xu Lin: "This is troublesome. We only have the head, but we don't even know where to find the body."
Yue Xiaofeng: "The worst-case scenario is that he'll be dismembered and scattered here and there, making it easier for us to find him. But we haven't even started yet! He might be at his house."
Xu Lin: "His home is in Room 1603, Building B, Biyun Community, Shengli Road. Take a team of people over there to investigate, and report back if you find anything."
Yue Xiaofeng took the forensic doctor to Tom's home in Biyun Community. As soon as they opened the door, a strong smell of blood hit everyone's sense of smell. Following the smell, they came to the kitchen and found a headless male corpse.
The forensic doctor immediately conducted a preliminary examination and said: "The deceased was killed by a single blow. The pericardium was punctured, causing excessive bleeding. He also died from a surprise attack from behind."
