After the performance, Jiang Feng and Gao Fei went backstage, congratulated Eva and invited her to have lunch with them.
Eva declined her invitation and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Wayne must prefer to be alone with you, and I don't want to watch you two show affection from the side, which makes me look superfluous."
After hearing her complaint, Gao Fei couldn't help but think of Martin.
People in love each have their own happiness, but single dogs, whether male or female, always have similar depressions in their hearts.
The two left the art museum, and the game screen turned dark.
When the screen switches to the next scene, the time in the game has reached New Year's Eve one month later.
The streets and rooftops were covered with white snow.
That afternoon, at two o'clock sharp, Louise and Roger came to the "Fern Family Contemporary Art Exhibition Hall" again, intending to watch the last performance of Eva and Lina's collaboration.
Brother Martin is very considerate, and it is rare to accompany them to watch a show.
After today's performance, the performance contract signed by Eva and Mr. Finn will expire.
Despite Mr. Fearn's repeated efforts to persuade her to stay, and even doubling the commission for each performance, Eva refused to renew her contract.
Eva admitted that it was not a matter of money, but mainly because she was feeling unwell and had to take a break from the stage to recuperate for a while before making plans next spring.
As a close friend of Eva, Louise knew that "physical discomfort" was just a decent excuse. The reason why Eva refused to renew the contract was because she couldn't stand Mrs. Lina's incessant harassment.
Of course Louise had to attend her friend's farewell performance.
When we arrived at the exhibition hall, we couldn't find Eva.
At this time, she did not realize the seriousness of the problem, so accompanied by Roger and Martin, she first went to the exhibition hall on the first floor for a stroll.
The layout of the wax figure exhibition hall is slightly different from last time.
The theme of this issue of "Secret Room Murder" is a murder disguised as suicide.
A wax figure was made up into a female body wearing pajamas and hung under the chandelier.
The wind blew in through the open window and the body swayed.
The light blocked by the corpse casts swaying light and shadow on the carpet, and the atmosphere was indescribably eerie and strange.
Louise, Roger and Martin are not like Goofy, who "will die if they don't do evil things".
The three people used conventional reasoning methods and spent half an hour to finally find the wax golem who played one of the "murderers".
According to the script, the Wax Golem plays the deceased's brother-in-law this time, the male owner of the mansion where the crime occurred, and a young politician with a bright future.
The brother-in-law's affair with his sister-in-law has been going on for more than half a year.
Recently, my sister-in-law found out that she was pregnant, so she forced her brother-in-law to have a baby, asking him to either divorce her sister and marry her, or give herself a large sum of money to raise the illegitimate child, otherwise she would make the matter worse and ruin his reputation.
, bid farewell to official career.
The brother-in-law had no choice but to confess to his wife. He knelt down and cried, begging her to forgive him for cheating and spend money to eliminate the trouble.
The deceased's sister gave the spineless pretty boy a good beating and broke two of his feather dusters.
She said coldly that she would not give a single coin to her sister, that shameless little bitch, and asked him to completely solve this problem. She must not let the matter slip, otherwise sooner or later, her career will be ruined because of this scandal.
.
Under the coercion of his wife, the man had no choice but to strangle his sister-in-law to death and pretend to be a suicide scene...
After the wax figure exhibition ended, Roger and Martin smoked pipes in the corridor on the second floor, and Louise went backstage to find Eva.
However, she was still nowhere to be seen.
Guwan
In half an hour, the song and dance performance will start. Why hasn't Eva come yet?
Confused, Louise went to a maid backstage and asked her why Eva hadn't shown up yet.
The maid didn't understand at first.
Her twinkling eyes couldn't escape Louise's eyes, so he took out a banknote and pried her mouth open.
The maid looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, then she pulled Louise to a secluded corner backstage and whispered into her ear.
It turns out that just before the exhibition started this afternoon, Eva and Mrs. Lina had a fierce conflict in the choreography classroom.
The door was locked and no third person was present.
The maid could only eavesdrop on the quarrel between Eva and Lina through the crack in the door.
Later, there were sounds of tearing and breaking of porcelain.
The maid realized that something was wrong, so she boldly knocked on the door and asked the two mistresses what happened.
The quarrel in the room suddenly stopped.
After a long time, Eva opened the door and came out, holding her bleeding neck. Her face was pale, she walked with a limp, and her skirt was torn.
The maid realized she was injured and screamed in fright.
Eva sternly stopped her and warned her to keep silent.
At this time, the maid noticed that there were scars on Eva's neck, and teeth marks were faintly visible.
Eva limped and left the backstage alone.
The maid secretly glanced into the room and saw Mrs. Lingna's topless body, her face flushed, and her plump breasts that undulated violently. There were two blood marks scratched by fingernails. Against the white background, the scarlet color was even more dazzling.
After some time, Walter Finn hurried over, closed the door and talked to Lina privately.
After that, Mr. Fein walked out of the choreography room and declared to the backstage staff that "nothing happened."
He also said that Ms. Eva accidentally sprained her ankle during dance rehearsal and had to take time off to recuperate. She would not be able to perform this afternoon.
Mrs. Lingna put on a more conservative dress to cover her scratched breasts and went on stage to sing as usual.
The wax golem will dance alone for her.
After listening to the maid's story, it was not difficult for Louise to guess why Eva and Lina had a conflict.
"How is Mr. Finn going to explain to the audience that Eva will not be able to dance on stage tonight?" she asked the maid, suppressing her anger.
"I don't know about that, Miss Quinn, you have to ask our boss." The maid shrugged and spread her hands.
Louise really wanted to go to Walter Fane and Lina Bella to investigate, but before that, she was more concerned about Eva's injury, so she asked Roger to discuss whether to visit Eva immediately.
Without Eva's performance, there is no value for the two of them to appreciate. What's more, when they see Lingna, that perverted woman, they get angry all the time.
The two were about to leave the second floor when a middle-aged gentleman with a mustache hurried up the stairs, wiping sweat with a handkerchief.
Louise recognized him as Walter Fane, but was not going to give him a good look.
Finn politely took off his hat and saluted her, then walked quickly to Roger and Martin and shook hands with them excitedly.
"Mr. Wayne! Mr. Page! I heard that you are a famous detective in the city? Can I talk to you!"
As soon as Rogge saw his anxious look, he knew that something big must have happened.
