Yu Hanjiang called his colleagues from the criminal police team, who quickly rushed to the scene and completely blocked the backstage area. At the same time, since there were tens of thousands of viewers at tonight's concert, in order to prevent the news of Liang Ting's death from spreading,
It caused panic and a more serious mass stampede occurred. Yu Hanjiang decided to investigate secretly backstage and let the concert continue.
Yun Lan came to the scene with Ye Qi. When she saw Liang Ting's body, her face was extremely ugly. After all, Liang Ting was the guest she personally invited, but she died at the concert. How was she going to tell Liang Ting?
Family members and fans explain?!
Yu Hanjiang walked up to her and asked, "Miss Yun, what were you doing backstage when Ye Qi went to the big stage to sing? Did you see anyone suspicious?"
Yun Lan came back to her senses, clenched her fists, and her lips kept trembling, "I...when Teacher Liang was singing on the stage, I had been in the dressing room next door, confirming the makeup and hair style with the five members of the girl group, etc.
After they changed their clothes, Teacher Liang's song had finished singing. I went to pick up Teacher Liang at the corner. At that time, many people gathered around her to ask for autographs..."
Ye Qi nodded to prove this, "Yes, Teacher Liang returned to the backstage, and there were indeed many staff members gathered around asking for autographs. She signed autographs for everyone, and I also asked for one, and then I went on stage to sing."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Teacher Liang went back to the lounge directly and didn't go anywhere else?"
"I don't know about this. After Ye Qi came on stage, I have been standing at the corner on the east side..." Yun Lan pointed to the corner at the end of the corridor with trembling fingertips, where the big concert stage could be seen through the gap.
"I want to hear Ye Qi sing two songs. It's his first time to perform on such a big stage. I'm afraid he will fail. Where did Mr. Liang go after that? I have to ask Sister Chen."
She turned back to look at Sister Chen. Liang Ting's manager, Sister Chen, immediately said, "I took Teacher Liang to the lounge and asked her if she wanted to change clothes. She said she had a headache and didn't want to change yet. She wanted to be alone for a while and let me go by myself.
I was busy. I had a stomachache and went to the bathroom. When I came back, I saw her...she fell to the ground."
At this point, the agent's face became more and more ugly. Her eyes were red and she was about to cry, and her voice was obviously choked. "Teacher Liang has been fine all day today. Why did he suddenly..."
Yu Hanjiang interrupted her, "On the way to the bathroom and when you came back, did you see anyone in the corridor?"
Sister Chen said, "When I went there, I saw Zhao Yuxin, Ye Lan and Qin Huanhuan in the bathroom, and I said hello to them; when I came back, I saw Yun Lan and Ye Qi."
Yun Lan said, "Yes, just now, Ye Qi returned to the backstage after the performance, and we saw Sister Chen in the corridor."
Yu Hanjiang looked at Ye Qi, who immediately nodded to confirm this.
Yu Hanjiang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, frowning slightly, "You went to the bathroom when Liang Ting returned to the backstage, and you didn't come out until Ye Qi came off the stage. In other words, you stayed in the bathroom for fifteen minutes?"
Sister Chen looked embarrassed, "I've been having some bowel movements recently and have been constipated."
Yu Hanjiang "..."
If you are constipated, it is normal to stay in the bathroom for more than ten minutes, provided that she is not lying. The agent looked nervous and her body was shaking. I don’t know whether it was because of fear or guilt. Her testimony has yet to be verified. After all, she only went there.
She met people on the way here and there were witnesses. No one could prove to her whether she had come out of the bathroom in the past 15 minutes.
Yu Hanjiang took out a notebook from his pocket and quickly wrote down the doubtful points in her testimony.
Next, Yu Hanjiang went to ask the backstage staff and celebrity assistants one by one.
The backstage of the gymnasium is a "back"-shaped structure. Since the staff's lounge is far away from Liang Ting's dressing room, they can take another route to the bathroom. Therefore, it is difficult for them to know what is happening here.
This also led to the fact that when Liang Ting had an accident, there were no witnesses.
There are more than 20 people working backstage, as well as more than a dozen security guards.
Yu Hanjiang checked one by one, and after asking around, no one knew what happened in Liang Ting's dressing room, and no one saw suspicious people in the corridor. These staff members could all provide alibi for each other.
When the 505 girl group was singing on stage, most of the staff were chatting and gossiping in the lounge, and the rest were watching the girl group's performance around the corner. When Ye Qi came on stage to sing, a group of people all flocked to it because Ye Qi sang so beautifully.
Go to the corner and listen to music.
They had never been to the corridor where Teacher Liang Ting's dressing room was located.
One of the assistant girls of the 505 girl group said, "The place where we listen to songs is far away from Teacher Liang's dressing room, separated by several walls. Besides, at the concert, the fans' screams were too noisy.
We really don’t know what happened to Teacher Liang!”
Everyone felt uneasy when they were asked, and they started talking about "What happened to Teacher Liang?" "She was fine when she stepped down and signed for us..." "Why did the police ask about Teacher Liang and what happened?
"
Yu Hanjiang did not tell these people about Liang Ting's death. He only told everyone that if they remembered who entered Teacher Liang's dressing room today, they must tell him in time.
An enthusiastic security guard said, "Teacher Liang is such a big name, we don't dare to disturb her. The only people who can enter her dressing room should be her makeup artist, stylist, assistant, and agent!"
A girl next to him added, "There are also people from the 505 girl group, Ye Qi, and their managers. The celebrities are all in the west corridor, so they can chat with each other easily. We can't get through."
Of course Yu Hanjiang also knew this. Liang Ting's status was such that ordinary concert staff did not dare to disturb her rashly. There were only a limited number of people who could enter her dressing room, and the most suspicious people were among them.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Sister Chen, "Where are Teacher Liang's makeup artists and stylists?"
"I didn't see them either." Sister Chen turned her head in confusion, "Does anyone know where Xiao Su and Aki went?"
"The two of them said they were too hungry and wanted to order takeout. They are probably eating takeout in the lounge over there." Teacher Tony, who was blowing Ye Qi's hair, replied with a smile.
Yu Hanjiang walked around the corner and came to the lounge on the north side. This is a place for makeup artists and stylists to rest. He opened the door and saw a man and a woman sitting on the sofa gobbling down food, with two boxed lunches in front of them.
Seeing Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge, and Ye Qi walking in together, the chicken drumstick in the yellow-haired stylist's mouth fell to the ground with a "clack", and then he hurriedly reached out to pick it up, and said with confusion on his face, "What's going on?"
What? So many people?"
Yu Hanjiang glanced at the police officer's ID card and asked in a low voice, "I am a police officer. I hope you two can cooperate in investigating the case. Where were you during the time when Liang Ting was performing on stage?"
The two looked at each other and looked at each other.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked at the two of them, "Do you need me to repeat the question?"
The female makeup artist Xiao Su shuddered at his cold gaze and immediately said, "Police officer! We were so busy today that we didn't even have time to eat. When Teacher Liang came on stage, the takeaway we ordered was delivered. I asked Teacher Liang
Do you want to change your look after the performance? She said no, let us go to eat first, and we will eat in this lounge."
The blond stylist Aki immediately nodded and said, "Yes, we have been eating and chatting here. What's going on? Why did the police suddenly come to the concert?" He looked at Tony, who was also a stylist, and the latter turned pale and walked away.
He came over and whispered, "It seems something happened to Teacher Liang. I just heard a scream..."
Yu Hanjiang asked the makeup artist again, "Did Liang Ting bring all the cosmetics she used today?"
The makeup artist nodded, "Yes, she has a mysophobia and is used to bringing her own cosmetics. She doesn't even use mine."
Yu Hanjiang: "Are you her royal makeup artist and stylist?"
Sister Chen said from the side, "Xiao Su often does makeup for Teacher Liang. Aki was hired temporarily this time. His master used to do makeup for Teacher Liang. This time, his master went abroad and asked him to take over the job. After trying the makeup, Liang
The teacher was very satisfied and left him."
Aki pretended to be shy and smoothed his hair beside his ears, and said, "I have styled many celebrities before, and this is my first time working with Teacher Liang. Teacher Liang is super easy to talk to."
Xiao Lou "..."
There are some stylists in the entertainment industry who always have a "girly" vibe about them, almost raising their orchid fingers when they speak. Today, Tony and Ki are quite girly.
Yu Hanjiang was used to seeing all kinds of people, so he continued to ask calmly, "During the modeling process, was there anything wrong with Liang Ting's mood?"
The makeup artist said, "No, she was joking with us and seemed to be in a good mood."
Yu Hanjiang "Has she received messages from others or answered calls from others?"
The makeup artist looked at Sister Chen, "She has changed into a dress and it is inconvenient to bring her mobile phone. It seems that Sister Chen is keeping her mobile phone, right?"
Sister Chen hurriedly took out her phone, entered the password to unlock it, handed it to Yu Hanjiang and said, "Xie Yuan called when the concert just started at eight o'clock tonight. Teacher Liang was changing clothes and it was inconvenient to answer the phone. I answered the phone.
Xie Yuan asked me to tell Teacher Liang that he would go home directly after the concert and he would prepare a meal for Teacher Liang and the children to have supper together."
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "How is the relationship between Xie Yuan and Liang Ting?"
Sister Chen said, "They are a model couple. They have been very loving for ten years after they were married."
Yu Hanjiang glanced at everyone present, and finally landed on his manager Yun Lan, "When the 505 girl group returns to the backstage, let them continue singing. Don't tell them about Teacher Liang for the time being. There are too many people at the concert to attract attention."
Mass panic."
Yun Lan nodded with a pale face, "I understand... the concert will go on as usual."
Yu Hanjiang said, "I will continue the investigation here, and after the concert is over, I will ask five girls to come to me to take notes." He looked at the security captain next to him and said, "The entire backstage has been surrounded by our colleagues from the criminal police team.
Get up, no one is allowed to leave, if anyone asks why, tell them that there is a criminal case that needs to be investigated, and I hope everyone will cooperate."
The security captain nodded, "Yes, Captain Yu, we will definitely cooperate."
Yu Hanjiang brought Xiao Lou, Shao Qingge and Ye Qi to an empty lounge.
Ye Qi asked nervously, "Captain Yu, do you have a conclusion?"
Yu Hanjiang took out a pen and paper, drew a floor plan of the entire site in a notebook, and marked the direction——
a——North——d——
West b——e East——
c——South——f——
The distribution of the backstage is roughly as shown in the figure. Among them, there are three rooms in the west corridor. Room A near the northwest corner is a large suite, which is the dressing room and lounge of the 505 girl group; and room B is about five meters away along the corridor.
, is a VIP room, Liang Ting's dressing room, and the lounge are here; Room C at the southwest corner is Ye Qi's lounge.
All the stars are on this west side corridor.
There is a restroom in the north and south respectively, and a tea room nearby. Just now, the makeup artist and stylist were eating takeaway in the tea room in the north.
A corridor to the east, d and e, are the lounges for staff and security guards.
Area F in the southeast corner is the passage from the backstage to the concert site. Here you can see what is going on on the big stage. When Liang Ting and Ye Qi were singing, many staff members crowded here to watch.
Yu Hanjiang pointed to the distribution of several lounges and said, "Liang Ting's VIP room is at position b, and the staff's lounge is at position e. There is no connection between the corridors on the east and west sides. It is really difficult to hear clearly across two corners.
The movement on the other side. In addition, it is inconvenient for the staff to enter and exit Liang Ting’s dressing room directly, so it is unlikely that these staff committed a crime."
Yu Hanjiang paused his pen on the west corridor and said, "The murderer should be in this area. Excluding Xiaoye, the people who can easily enter Liang Ting's dressing room include the five members of the 505 girl group, their manager Yun Lan, Sister Chen, and Liang
Ting’s makeup artist and stylist. Since Yun Lan has an alibi, the only ones left are the five people from the girl group, and Liang Ting’s makeup artist and stylist.”
Ye Qi was shocked, "Captain Yu, are you saying that the murderer is among these seven people?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "Pay attention to a few details. The makeup artist said that Mr. Liang has mysophobia and is used to bringing his own cosmetics, so it is difficult to put toxins in the cosmetics. It is more likely that the water is poisonous; we found the thermos cup and the bottle were unscrewed at the scene
The water in the mineral water bottle has been drunk. It is winter and when Liang Ting is thirsty, how will she choose between warm water and cold water?"
Xiao Lou took out the thermos cup evidence in a sealed plastic bag and said, "She knows how to drink warm water. The poison should have been placed in Liang Ting's thermos cup."
Yu Hanjiang said, "Well, we can confirm this by taking it back for testing. The murderer poisoned him after arriving at the scene today."
Shao Qingge wondered, "Why wasn't it poisoned in advance?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Poisoning is done in advance. The murderer cannot control when Liang Ting drinks water. If she drinks water on the road and dies in the nanny's car, there are very few suspects who have come into contact with Liang Ting, so it is easy to identify the murderer. Therefore, the murderer
Choosing to poison at a chaotic concert site can better create an alibi for yourself."
He put down his pen and simply said, "Let's wait until the girl group finishes singing and ask these girls."
Chapter 259, Girl Group’s Testimony
The concert ends on time at ten o'clock in the evening.
Since the manager Yun Lan did not tell the girl group about Liang Ting's death, the five girls were not affected in any way during the second half of the performance. They sang happily on the big stage, and everyone's lo performance was also very good.
It was perfect. Their first concert could be said to be a complete success.
The fans left in accordance with the order. The five members of the girl group returned to the lounge, and the leader Zhao Yuxin said with a bright smile, "To celebrate the success of our first song, how about I treat everyone to a midnight snack later?"
This proposal was quickly endorsed by the other four people.
However, the agent Yun Lan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
The five people noticed that she looked ugly. Qin Huanhuan even joked, "What's wrong with Sister Yun? Today's concert went very well. Why does she look so ugly?"
Li Shengnan said, "Has your boyfriend made you angry again? If you dare to bully me, Sister Yun, I will beat him up!" After saying that, he clenched his fists and showed off the muscles on his small arms for everyone.
The other three people also expressed concern for their agent sister.
Yun Lan took a deep breath, pulled the five people aside, and lowered her voice and said, "Teacher Liang, something happened. The police are waiting for you backstage. In order to prevent the concert from having problems that would affect tens of thousands of viewers, the police didn't let me tell you and let the concert perform."
Let’s talk about it after it ends smoothly…”
When the five people heard this, they quickly put away their smiles.
Captain Zhao Yuxin asked bravely, "What happened? The police are here. Is it serious?"
Yun Lan was silent for a few seconds before replying in a trembling voice, "Teacher Liang died in the dressing room."
"Ah?" The five of them gasped in unison. Qin Huanhuan, the youngest, immediately had red eyes. She grabbed Li Shengnan's arm with trembling fingers and said, "Nan, Sister Nan, Teacher Liang is dead? Did I hear you right?"
!”
Li Shengnan's face didn't look good either. She managed to maintain her composure and said, "Sister Yun, are you kidding me? Haha, Sister Yun is so humorous."
Yun Lan looked back at her and said sternly, "Would I joke about something like this?!"
Five people were stunned at the same time.
Yun Lan said, "Be mentally prepared, the police will interrogate you later."
She asked the five girls to line up and go next door to find Yu Hanjiang.
In order to observe the performance of the five girls, Ye Qi hid in the dressing room and watched the whole process. Judging from the expressions of the five girls, the most shocked one was Li Shengnan. After hearing the news, his mouth opened so wide that he could stuff a
A duck egg; Qin Huanhuan was so frightened that she cried. Her legs felt a little weak when she walked. Maybe she had never experienced such exciting things at a young age and couldn't bear it for a while.
Among the other three, Ye Lan opened her eyes wide in surprise; Zhao Yuxin looked pale and looked at the manager in disbelief; Liu Xi remained calm on the surface, but gently clenched his hands at his sides and took deep breaths.
There was no obvious suspicion from the behavior of the five people. Ye Qi secretly came out of the dressing room and turned back to the interrogation room.
The five people entered the room one after another to be interrogated by Yu Hanjiang.
Qin Huanhuan was crying uncontrollably. While wiping her tears, she said, "Teacher Liang is my idol. I have been listening to her songs since elementary school... I am really happy to invite her to this concert..."
Wow, how could she die suddenly? I really don’t know, what happened?”
If a girl with a round face is crying and her makeup is red, it's either because her acting skills are too good or she is really sad about her idol's death.
Yu Hanjiang asked her about her situation backstage, and Qin Huanhuan said, "I went to the dressing room after I came off the stage. My eyes are relatively sensitive, and the eyeliner was smudged. It took a long time for the makeup artist to touch up my makeup. By the way, Sister Nan
Also, she has a sweaty constitution, and she sweats easily when dancing, and the powder on her face also needs to be replenished, so we stayed in the dressing room to touch up the makeup."
As for the noise from Liang Ting's side, Qin Huanhuan said she heard nothing.
Her testimony was completely consistent with Li Shengnan's. The two of them had been touching up their makeup since they came off the stage.
Li Shengnan said, "Zhao Yuxin, Ye Lan and Liu Xi went to the bathroom together. Huanhuan and I didn't go."
Yu Hanjiang asked the makeup artist of the girl group for confirmation.
Qin Huanhuan and Li Shengnan can be ruled out of suspicion for the time being. They have never left the sight of the makeup artist. These two girls' makeup falls off too easily. They touched up their makeup several times today. Qin Huanhuan kept clamoring to ask for an autograph from Goddess Liang Ting, but the makeup artist stopped her.
She took it back to touch up her makeup, but there was no chance to get it. She and Liang Ting had no room for private contact.
Li Shengnan also sweats a lot and loses powder easily. They are either on their way to the big stage or on their way to touch up their makeup.
The remaining three require focused questioning.
Zhao Yuxin said, "I did go to the bathroom with Ye Lan and Liu Xi. I also met Ms. Liang Ting's agent, Sister Chen, in the bathroom and said hello to her."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Did the three of you go there together and come back together?"
Zhao Yuxin's expression changed slightly and she hesitated to speak.
Yu Hanjiang noticed something was wrong and immediately asked, "What happened in the middle?"
Zhao Yuxin looked embarrassed, as if hesitating whether to speak or not. Yu Hanjiang said in a deep voice, "Ms. Zhao, you are all public figures. You don't want to go to the police station with me and be detained for a few days before telling the truth, right?"
A trace of panic clearly flashed in Zhao Yuxin's eyes, and she said hurriedly, "Actually, the three of us went together as a group, but we didn't come back together... I just took a break and came back soon, Ye Lan and Liu
It took a long time for the stream to come back."
Yu Hanjiang asked "How long?"
Zhao Yuxin frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "About ten minutes? When they came back, Ye Qi had almost finished singing the second song."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "When you came back, was there any sound in Teacher Liang Ting's room next door?"
Zhao Yuxin shook her head, "No, I didn't go to her room because the agent said that Teacher Liang had a headache and wanted to rest, so I didn't dare to disturb her."
Yu Hanjiang asked the captain to go out and called the other two people in one after another.
Ye Lan is the most temperamental one in the entire girl group. She has long flowing hair and looks very well-educated. She sits with a dignified posture and her voice is relatively calm. "I don't know Teacher Liang very well personally. Teacher Liang doesn't like me very much."
Regarding voice, Teacher Liang was our tutor during the competition. She felt that my voice was too soft and there was limited room for development. She liked Liu Xi best, and Liu Xi’s voice was more like hers.”
Yu Hanjiang asked, "Tell me what you did backstage today. Did you leave the team?"
Ye Lan thought for a while and said, "I spent most of the time with them trying on makeup and changing clothes. There was only intermission...that is, around nine o'clock, I went there once with Zhao Yuxin and Liu Xi.
Toilet."
Yu Hanjiang said, "You three went together, but didn't come back together?"
Ye Lan frowned and said, "Zhao Yuxin returned early, and I came back with Liu Xi."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "According to Zhao Yuxin, you have been in the bathroom for more than ten minutes. What is going on?"
Ye Lan's expression changed and she bit her lip gently and refused to speak.
Yu Hanjiang stared at her, "What's going on?"
After a while, Ye Lan gritted her teeth and said, "I, I forgot to bring toilet paper, and Liu Xi didn't bring it either. There happened to be no paper in the bathroom. I called Liu Xi next door and asked her to help get me some toilet paper."
Everyone "......"
Forgetting to bring paper with you when you go to the bathroom is really a tragedy in life.
Ye Lan also felt embarrassed, and her ears turned slightly red when she spoke, "I don't know where Liu Xi went to find the paper. It took her a long time to come back. My legs were numb when I squatted in the bathroom."
Yu Hanjiang asked, "During this process, no one else came to the bathroom?"
Ye Lan thought about it carefully and suddenly said, "It seems that someone has come in, maybe a makeup artist or a staff member. The footsteps I heard were not Liu Xi's, because our second look was high-heeled shoes, and that person was wearing flat shoes.
The steps on the floor were very light. I didn't dare to call anyone, it was too embarrassing and I didn't know who it was."
You can imagine the embarrassing scene of her squatting in the toilet waiting for tissues.
Someone coming in from outside is very important.
Yu Hanjiang marked the key points in the transcript and then asked, "How long have you been waiting for Liu Xi?"
Ye Land said, "About seven minutes, right? I could hear Ye Qi singing in the bathroom. He sang the entire song "White Birch Forest" and the first half of the second song."
Yu Hanjiang asked her to go back and finally interrogated Liu Xi.
Liu Xi has a cold personality and her clear voice is indeed similar to Liang Ting's. When Ye Lan asked her to help get tissues, her explanation was, "Ye Lan forgot to bring toilet paper when she went to the toilet. It was too embarrassing.
She would definitely laugh at her if she heard it. I didn’t want to go back to the lounge to find other people to ask for tissues, so I went to the tea room to look for them. There was no paper in the tea room in the north, so I went to the south again, so it took me more time.”
The corridor backstage was very long. She went to the north to look for the paper but couldn't find it. Walking to the south and back again, it would be normal for her to spend a few minutes - if she wasn't lying.
Yu Hanjiang asked, "On the way there, on the way here, did you meet anyone in the corridor?"
Liu Xi said with a cold face, "No. When I went to the bathroom, only Ye Lan was squatting there waiting for me."
So far, all the suspects present have been interrogated. Yu Hanjiang brought the compiled testimonies and said to Shao Qingge, "At the concert, let the staff go back first. I believe this case will be concluded soon."
in conclusion."
Ye Qi asked curiously, "Captain Yu is so confident? Is this case simpler than Lin Yiyan's murder case?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "Well, after all, the murderer of Liang Ting is at the scene, and we haven't been able to identify the murderer in Lin Yiyan's case yet." He looked at Xiao Lou and said, "Can you do a venom identification and analysis immediately after you go back? Thank you very much.
You are."
Xiao Lou curled up his lips and said, "You're welcome. I'll work overtime with you tonight."
Shao Qingge glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "Since you have to work overtime, I will go back to sleep."
Ye Qi said helplessly, "Mr. Shao, can you just pretend to win when we don't get to the Heart Chamber? Let's go help Captain Yu too..."
Shao Qingge interrupted him, "Why do you, a celebrity, go to the police force to help? Besides, since Captain Yu is confident in solving the case, we can just wait for the result and trust his professionalism."
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said humbly, "I can't seem to be of much help... Then let's go back first?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, "You all should withdraw, the scene has been searched, and I will bring back all the evidence that needs to be collected. On the police side, it's enough for Xiao Lou to help me."
Shao Qingge dragged Ye Qi back and asked Yun Lan to arrange for the people of the 505 girl group, as well as all the makeup artists, stylists and assistants present today. Everyone has their phone turned on and must be available at any time.
On the way back, Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang and asked, "Captain Yu, are you really confident that you can solve the case quickly?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "The suspects have already identified these people. We only need to use the elimination method. Combining their confessions with the on-site evidence, the murderer will always be exposed. I have already identified the person who is most likely to be the murderer. Go back
Let’s check her background again.”
Xiao Lou finally felt relieved after hearing this. Since the murderer was among the people being interrogated today, he believed that with Captain Yu's sharp eyes, he would be able to pick out the murderer from the crowd!
