Chapter 193 The Second Dead Person Sacrifice Opera and Dance Drama
Everyone observed the death scene.
Before Wei Wei stepped on the steps, the ground beneath them had already collapsed, causing him to fall. Yan Qi was crushed by the collapsed objects.
He Suzhi gently pressed his hand on the top of the corpse's head and closed his eyes to feel it for a while.
"Died 16 hours and 42 minutes ago. Cause of death: Internal organs ruptured due to heavy pressure."
He Suzhi is a young man about the same age as Gao Mengtang. He has a family-inherited auxiliary ID card 120. His ID card has evolved into [120 Forensic Doctor], which can detect the cause and time of death.
But everyone obviously couldn't believe this conclusion. The collapsed object was about 100 kilograms, and a high school student could push it away with effort. Given the physical fitness of the Black Tower players, how could they be crushed to death?
Even if Yan Qi couldn't push it open, wouldn't he call for help? The stairs in the hall were crowded with people, how could someone be crushed to death?
More importantly, there is nothing valuable in the storage room under the stairs, so why did Yan build it in?
Calculating the time, Gao Mengtang had just escaped from the dungeon 16 hours ago. Before that, Yan Qi threw Gao Mengtang down the stairwell.
In other words, Yan Qi died not long after he did the bad thing.
"Committed suicide out of fear of crime?" He Suozhi touched his chin, "No, he didn't throw Gao Mengtang to death."
Gao Mengtang:?
Bai Ke's cold voice came: "What a coincidence, he just bumped into the blind man and died the next moment. Gao Mengtang, do you have any clues?"
His words obviously meant that he suspected Gao Mengtang of killing Yan Qi. Gao Mengtang was furious and was about to explain himself when Bai Jie snorted coldly:
"Collision? Throwing our boss down from a height of more than 100 meters, you call that a collision!" Bai Jie said, "Then I am going to collide with you, please be magnanimous."
Bai Ke didn't react at all, as if Bai Jie's words were bullshit. This made Bai Jie even angrier.
An attendant promptly eased the atmosphere: "16 hours and 42 minutes ago, Chief Gao just left the dungeon and was eating snacks in the kitchen. I and everyone else in the kitchen can prove this."
Bai Ke remained silent.
The deceased Yan Qi was just a scattered believer of the ancient god, with no relatives or power behind him, and the other members of Ghost Bamboo did not attend the meeting. After his death, no one sought justice for him, and the matter was left unresolved.
After briefly dealing with the scene, they went to have breakfast as usual.
"Chief Gao, can I eat with you?" He Suzhi came over with a tray and sat down next to Gao Mengtang naturally without waiting for Gao Mengtang to speak.
"Is there something?" Bai Jie asked bluntly.
There was no embarrassment on He Suozhi's face. "Indeed, there is something wrong. Yan Qi's death was suspicious, and I want to investigate... Don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting you. This is the nature of a forensic doctor. I just like to find out the truth. And Chief Gao is the only one who has communicated with Yan Qi."
Gao Mengtang: "Oh. What do you want to ask?"
"Is Yan Qi strong?" He Suozhi asked.
Gao Mengtang: "When they picked me up and threw me down, they were so strong that I fell before I could react."
"Yeah. I understand." He Suozhi seemed to be thinking about something, muttering to himself, "This shouldn't be the case. How could someone with so much strength be crushed to death?"
After dinner, Gao Mengtang and his friends were ready to go to the meeting. They entered from the front door and met Bai Ke and his relatives when they were looking for seats.
Seeing Gao Mengtang, Bai Ke suddenly shouted, "Come on! Make way for Chief Gao! Let Chief Gao choose his seat first. We dare not offend Chief Gao, who has all the means to do anything."
Gao Mengtang was holding a small box of snacks and looked at him in surprise.
"Please." Bai Ke bowed politely, "Please choose your seat first. Please don't think we are rude. We can't afford to offend you."
The Bai family made way, stretched out their arms together, and made a gesture of "please go first" in unison.
More than 300 people gathered in the large conference room. When they heard Bai Ke's shout, they all turned around and looked at Gao Mengtang. It was obvious that Bai Ke was deliberately embarrassing Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang laughed angrily: "You are quite sensible."
Then he walked through the path made by the Bai family without looking around and sat down in the back seat.
After Gao Mengtang and the other three sat down firmly under the guidance of the entire meeting hall, Bai Ke stood up and said in a louder voice, "Okay, the respected leader Gao has taken his seat. We can sit down now."
After saying that, Bai Ke stepped over a step. Somehow, his black boots tripped on the step and he fell directly to where Gao Mengtang was, with a thud on his knees.
Gao Mengtang: “…”
Wei Wei smiled and said, "No need to perform such a grand ceremony. Stand up."
Five or six people hurriedly helped Bai Ke to stand up. Bai Ke was so angry that his face turned red. The believers of the ancient gods could kneel in front of the statues for a long time, and apart from that, they would not kneel even to their parents.
This was a big embarrassment. Bai Ke glared at Gao Mengtang and the other three with a vicious look: "The stairs moved. They rose a little and tripped me. I saw it clearly."
"You blame the uneven road for your inability?" Bai Jie said with a smile, "Why don't you say that your knees have their own ideas and that they want to kneel down to our boss, so they fall down automatically?"
Bai Ke made a fool of himself and didn't dare to make any more noise. He found a seat nearby and sat down.
Seeing them make a fool of themselves, Gao Mengtang felt better. Although he still didn't understand anything, he was very happy when he secretly ate snacks and was in a good mood when drawing.
This time he did not leave the venue alone, for he was afraid that another Yan Qi Yan Ba would want to assassinate him.
At 5:30 in the evening, the meeting ended and Gao Mengtang had finished drawing half of his notebook.
"Xiao Tien has arranged an event tonight." Wei Wei flipped through the schedule, "A musical and dance performance for the gods. Do you want to attend?"
Gao Mengtang: “Yes!”
He is very interested in art activities and will of course watch any performances.
"I'm not interested. I'll play games in my bedroom." Bai Jie said, "When I was young, I had to write a review after watching a musical for worshiping gods. I have PTSD about this."
"No, go together." Gao Mengtang insisted, "Accompany me."
Bai Jie's dark skin turned red: "Um, okay, okay."
After dinner, Gao Mengtang and others arrived at the venue early at 7:30 in the evening. This time he chose the front row with a good viewing experience and pulled his teammates to sit down.
They arrived a little late and were in a hurry to find a seat, so they didn't look carefully. Just as they sat down, a sarcastic voice came from behind them.
"Captain Gao, will our sitting here disturb you?" Bai Qiqi said gloomily, "I will leave immediately if you give the order."
Looking back, Gao Mengtang was speechless. Bai Qiqi was sitting right behind him, and next to him were He Suzhi and a stranger.
"Oh..." Gao Mengtang held his forehead weakly and sighed.
The show started soon, and there was no time to find a seat. Anyway, Gao Mengtang could ignore the unpleasantness and waited for the musical to begin with great anticipation. It must be in Esperanto, but it didn't matter, he just watched the fun.
As soon as the lights dimmed, the back of the chair was suddenly kicked.
Gao Mengtang: ...
He was naive. When the Bai family was disgusting, they had no bottom line.
For more than an hour afterwards, Bai Qiqi kicked the chair from time to time, with a frequency controlled between unintentional and malicious, just enough to make Gao Mengtang and the others unhappy without causing them to fall out.
Bai Jie and Wei Wei beside him were not spared either. Bai Jie gnashed his teeth, as if he would jump up at any moment and grab Bai Qiqi and beat her up.
"Don't cross your legs and walk around," Gao Mengtang heard He Suzhi's whispered reminder, "be more restrained."
Bai Qiqi did not restrain herself at all, but became even more excessive.
"I can understand why Bai Jie broke up with his family," Wei Wei said dimly, and the back of his chair was kicked again. "If it were me, breaking up would not be enough, I would also kill two people to vent my hatred."
Killing someone was a bit extreme, but Gao Mengtang wanted to practice the words from the Otherworld he had just learned, so he answered in the Otherworld language: "I agree."
The audience in the back row was uncultured, but the quality of the musical was very high. With the blessing of magic from the other world, the special effects were extremely gorgeous, the sound effects rumbled, shaking the chairs, the fragrance of the temple spread from every corner of the theater, and the fragments flying when a monster exploded seemed to bounce onto one's face.
I can even smell blood, Gao Mengtang thought.
They quickly ignored the unpleasantness and focused on the stage.
Before I knew it, the lights came on and the opera and ballet ended.
Bai Jie also woke up. He rubbed his eyes and said, "I don't need to write a review this time... In the second half, Bai Qiqi didn't seem to kick the chair anymore."
"Well, he has behaved a little better." Wei Wei said in a low voice.
They followed the crowd out, and when they stood up, they turned around to look at Bai Qiqi in the back row.
Bai Qiqi was wearing a black cloak and a hood, with her head lowered, as if she was asleep too.
"No one from a wizard family would not feel sleepy after seeing this." Bai Jie muttered, "The review needs to be 3,000 words, which will take an entire afternoon to write."
The crowd leaving the venue blocked the road tightly. He Suozhi and Bai Qiqi seemed to want to wait for everyone else to leave before going out. Bai Qiqi was still sleeping, and He Suozhi was playing with his phone.
The smell of blood had not yet dissipated. Gao Mengtang felt vaguely that something was a little strange. The smell of blood seemed to come from Bai Qiqi...
But he didn't think about it and continued walking towards the back door of the venue.
"Wake up, the show is over." He Suzhi wanted to wake up Bai Qiqi.
Bai Qiqi had no reaction
"Hello?" He Suozhi switched to Esperanto. "Although it's a bit boring, it doesn't have to be so hypnotic. Let's go back to the bedroom and sleep."
Bai Qiqi: “…”
"What's wrong with you?" He Suzhi pushed Bai Qiqi.
His hand just touched Bai Qiqi's shoulder. He didn't use much strength, just a slight push, and Bai Qiqi's body unexpectedly fell to the side like an unstable sack.
The hood slipped off, revealing a face as pale as a dead man. His eyes were wide open and the blood at the corners of his mouth had dried.
He Suzhi's pupils suddenly shrank, and he lifted up Bai Qiqi's black robe and took a look -
——Bai Qiqi’s throat had been cut and she’s dead!
*
The atmosphere in the auditorium was extremely depressing, with white candles burning quietly. Everyone bowed their heads in silence, and Bai Ke was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"What happened?" Bai Ke uttered a few words from between his teeth. "Who did it?"
It was dead silent.
"say!!!"
He Suzhi stood up and said: "I was sitting next to him at the time, I didn't see anyone do anything."
Bai Ke pushed down a shelf and roared, "No one did anything? Did my brother slit his own throat?!"
"We were watching a musical, and after it ended, I found out that he...had met with misfortune." He Suzhi shrugged helplessly, "That's it."
"Who else is around Bai Qiqi?" Bai Ke roared.
He Suzhi: "On his left is me, and on his right is his friend Jia Jialin."
"I didn't murder him!" Jia Jialin shouted anxiously, "Mr. Bai, I have a good relationship with Qiqi, you know that."
These two were Bai Qiqi's friends and had no motive for committing a crime, Bai Ke knew it. He gripped the edge of the coffin tightly, his nails digging into the wood.
"Oh, that's right." He Suzhi suddenly used the common language and bowed to Gao Mengtang apologetically, "In front of us are Chief Gao, Mr. Wei, Bai Jie, and Tu Cheng."
Bai Ke's knife-like gaze stabbed at Gao Mengtang.
Gao Mengtang looked at him blankly.
"What happened during the performance?" Bai Ke's voice seemed to be poisoned.
He Suzhi apologized to Gao Mengtang again: "I need to tell the truth. I'm sorry, Chief Gao." Then he turned to Bai Ke, "While watching the performance, Bai Qiqi kept kicking the backs of the chairs of Chief Gao and others. I reminded him, but he didn't change."
"Okay, very good." Bai Ke approached Gao Mengtang step by step, "Can you explain?"
Gao Mengtang: "Do I have to kill someone for such a small matter?"
"How did that man die?" Bai Ke lowered his voice very low, "Of all the people in the manor, only you have a grudge against our Bai family."
Bai Shu, the head of the Bai family, looked at Bai Qiqi's body sadly: "Poor child... the cut on his throat was very neat."
Countless pairs of eyes looked towards Gao Mengtang.
Bai Ke smiled grimly: "As far as I know, Chief Gao has a well-known skill - using ice-crystal-like space fragments to cut people into neat pieces, right?"
Gao Mengtang: “…”
We are in trouble. This wave of trouble cannot be washed away even if we jump into the Yellow River.
