"Where were you when the armored geeks started destroying the studio?"
After interrogating director Keshua, it was the turn of show host Edler. This was the person closest to the suspect at the time, and Aleg hoped to get more information from him.
Compared to Keshua, who was still excited about making big news for himself, Edler was obviously a lot more timid, and now the poor dwarf looked like he was extremely scared.
Edler lowered his head: "As soon as Chief Lannard said that it was a real armored monster, I was very scared, so I shrank under the sofa."
"sofa?"
"It's the sofa we usually sit on in the studio. I'm relatively small and can get under it."
"Have you been down there?" Aleg asked again, "Did you see anything?"
Aleg was a little excited. If Edler had been hiding in the studio, then he might have seen how the armored monster left.
Edler shook his head: "No, I didn't see anything. After I got under the sofa, I kept hiding under it. Soon there was a ping-pong-pong-pong noise outside. I was thinking it must be the armored weirdo.
He was smashing things, maybe he was still killing people. So I didn't dare to go out, and I didn't dare to look outside. Even the sofa was thrown aside, but I still held on to the railing underneath and didn't come out."
"You really didn't see anything?"
"No."
Aleg sighed, "Then let me ask you the last question, why were you not surprised at all when you saw the armored monster, and director Keshua said you prepared the clothes?"
Edler quickly denied, "I didn't prepare any armor. The actual combat environment was only decided the day before the show was recorded. How could I get such a broken armor in such a short time? I just made it temporarily.
cloak......"
"Cloak?" Aleg took a piece of cloth from the side. It was found at the crime scene. The armored weirdo was wearing this thing when he appeared on the scene. It had the words "Big Bad" written on it. After the armored weirdo disappeared
, the cloak remained at the scene.
"Is this the cloak?"
Edler nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, that's it. I wrote the words on it. I think it will be more effective for the show. I only prepared this cape, so when the armored monster appears wearing it,
, I was indeed a little surprised, but when I saw the cloak, I thought that the other things were secretly prepared by director Keshua, so I had no doubts. Let me tell you in a low voice, Keshua wants to make big news all day long.
He can definitely do something like letting an actor dress up as a weirdo in armor. If you want to hold Keshua accountable, you must hold Keshua accountable, and it’s best to put him in jail. Yes, he must go to jail, if he hadn’t put the person on stage
, how could what happened next be broadcast live?”
Unable to find anything useful, Aleg waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, it's none of your business. Go out and wait. Adjutant, go call the director's assistant!"
"yes!"
The adjutant stood up and soon brought the director's assistant over.
This assistant was the first person in the entire column team to see the armored weirdo, and it was precisely because he was leading the armored weirdo that the others did not become suspicious.
Aleg felt that he needed to ask him.
Because according to previous investigations, it is speculated that the armored weirdo may have an accomplice assisting him in committing the crime.
"You said you were the armored weirdo you met in the makeshift dressing room?"
The assistant seemed more scared than Edler. Thinking about how many times he had spoken to the armored weirdo alone, how could he not be scared?
"Yes," the assistant stammered, "Because the actors were about to go on stage, Director Keshua asked me to call Hans. He still had some things to say, so I took Ed.
Mr. Le asked me to give Hans' cloak and go to the temporary dressing room."
Aleg snorted, "In other words, when you saw the armored weirdo, he wasn't wearing a cloak yet?"
"Yes... I gave him the cloak."
"Snapped!"
Aleg slapped the table and asked: "It's understandable that other people mistakenly think that the armored weirdo is an actor because of his cloak or seeing you leading the way. Please tell me why you have any doubts when you see the armored weirdo."
None? Don’t tell me you don’t know the armored weirdo!”
Hearing Alleg's accusation, the assistant suddenly started sweating profusely. "No...no. I was holding the cloak prepared by Mr. Edler, which he gave to me temporarily before the show started. So I
I was just thinking, although there is no mention of armor in the program plan that was sent, it might have been prepared by the director or Mr. Adler. Plus, the armored weirdo was quite normal at the time and had no intention of harming anyone at all, no.
Did he say he was a murderer? So I had no doubt at that time."
Aleg tapped the table with his index knuckle, "Is the internal management of your program team so chaotic? There is no communication at all? He thought you prepared it, and you thought it was him."
The assistant muttered in a low voice: "It's so chaotic... Director Keshua has a strong desire to control the program and requires everyone to do as he says. But Mr. Adler likes to express himself, so he often
They were doing some improvisation in the show, and the two of them quarreled a lot about it. So this time, sir, I really thought it was them who made the armor again."
Aleg was a little reluctant, and asked again: "What did the actor Hans say? He was in the dressing room at that time, and you didn't notice it?"
"Because time was tight, I didn't go into the dressing room. I just stood at the door and said a few words to the armored geek. The armored geek was very wide and I couldn't see inside."
Aleg covered his head and waved his hand: "Go out, adjutant, and ask Hans to come in."
"yes!"
Not long after, Hans was also brought over.
This time there was no need for Alleg to ask questions, Hans started crying on his own.
"Sir, I don't know anything about this. I was sleeping in the dressing room at the time. I don't know anything about what happened outside!!!"
"Quiet!" Aleg was already upset, but he became even more annoyed when he saw Hans's appearance. "You are going to be on stage soon, why are you sleeping at this time?"
Hans said with a grimace: "I am a stuntman. The last play just ended, and then the program team here contacted me and asked me if I could come and participate. I just need to come and act and get beaten up."
They said it the day before and they were going to play the next day, so the time was very tight. I didn’t want to come, but the money they gave me was too much, so I flew all night to come over without any rest.
, I arrived here directly by car, and didn’t even have time to eat. I was putting on makeup and talking about requirements. I waited until two hours before the show started and finally had some free time. I asked the staff if they could let me sleep for a while.
.”
Aleg stared at Hans: "We investigated the dressing room and found that there were signs of tampering in it. Was it you?"
"No, I fell asleep as soon as I touched the stool in the lounge."
"Then tell me, the armored weirdo rummaged through the room, why don't you know anything?"
Hans' face became even more worried, "Sir, I'm a terrible sleeper. I wouldn't wake up unless I was shaken hard, and I snored very loudly while sleeping, so I asked the staff to find an empty room for me."
Take a break in the dressing room, you can ask them. I thought they would call me when the time comes."
"I thought, I thought, I thought." Aleg was going crazy. "Everyone of you said 'I thought', so do you want to tell me that this farce was caused by coincidence?"
