Card Room - 186. Chapter 256-257

[Chapter 256, singing guests]

Liang Ting and Xie Yuan are not contract stars of Star Entertainment, and Shao Qingge does not have their information. But since Yu Hanjiang found the name “Xie Yuan” in Lin Yiyan’s diary, he certainly would not ignore this character. He and Xiao Lou had already searched for information about the couple on the Internet.

Judging from the information available on the Internet, Xie Yuan made his debut seventeen years ago, and many of his films have been regarded as classics. It can be said that he is an irreplaceable male god in the minds of a generation. During the hottest years in his twenties, Lin Yiyan happened to be in high school, and the two naturally had no chance to meet. When Lin Yiyan debuted, Xie Yuan was already married and had children, and the two had never collaborated in any TV dramas or variety shows.

Xie Yuan’s wife Liang Ting is a legend in the music scene, and many singers today grew up listening to Liang Ting’s songs. Liang Ting debuted at the age of 18. She is three years older than Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan once said in an interview that the song of the goddess Liang Ting was his favorite in middle school.

One of them is a superstar in the movie world and the other is a queen of singing. Once, the producer of the movie theme song shot by Xie Yuan happened to invite Liang Ting to sing. After Xie Yuan learned about it, he went to visit the class. It is said that the two fell in love at first sight in the recording studio, and they got married in less than half a year. .

At the time of marriage, Liang Ting was 35 years old and Xie Yuan was 32 years old. That century wedding invited more than 70% of traffic stars in the entertainment industry. The scale is so grand that no one has surpassed it for many years. This shows the influence of these two people in the entertainment industry.

After the two got married, they became a model couple. They were on variety shows with husband and wife, and they were very sweet when they got along. Xie Yuan spoiled Liang Ting even more. It is said that he even cooks for the goddess at home.

After three years of marriage, the two gave birth to a son, and three years later they gave birth to a young daughter. Now, the daughter has just turned three years old and is about to go to kindergarten, and the couple has been married for ten years.

42-year-old Xie Yuan announced that she would stop taking pictures and go home to concentrate on educating her two children. Liang Ting has also shifted her focus to the family. It is harder to ask her to sing a song with her voice than to reach the sky.

On the surface, these two people are really a couple of gods and goddesses. Being able to get married for ten years in the complex entertainment circle, and the love remains the same, it also makes many younger generations envious. It’s just that Liang Ting has been in hiding for a long time, why did she suddenly participate in the concert of the 505 girl group?

Xiao Lou was puzzled. While the live music was still playing the prelude, he asked Shao Qingge softly, “How could Liang Ting give the 505 girl group so much face? Is the relationship between them good?”

Shao Qingge said: “She is not an artist in our company. I don’t know the specifics. I will ask the agent.” Manager Shao sent a message to the agent Yun Lan: “Why is Liang Ting invited to the concert? Mystery guest?”

Yun Lan quickly replied: “Mr. Shao, it’s like this. Three years ago, during the finals of the draft contest, Liang Ting had privately mentored five women’s team members, and these five were considered her students. This time the women’s team held a concert. A few of them strongly requested Teacher Liang to sing. They all grew up listening to Liang Ting’s songs. They are loyal fans of Liang Ting. I went to ask Teacher Liang to satisfy one of their wishes.”

Shao Qingge wondered: “Liang Ting is willing to give face?”

Yun Lan said: “I invited her several times and also charged a sky-high fee. She disagreed at first and said that she was going to travel with her husband and children. Later, her little daughter fell ill and the travel plan was cancelled, so she reluctantly agreed. However, she doesn’t care about the appearance fee. She doesn’t need a penny for the appearance fee. She sings in friendship, just as a cheer for a few students.”

Shao Qingge was clear: “That’s how it is.”

He showed the phone conversation record to Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou, and Yu Hanjiang said: “Liang Ting has been a tutor for the women’s group. She used to be a teacher to help the students in their concerts. It makes sense.”

Xiao Lou nodded: “If there is a teacher-student relationship, it is really no problem for her to join in.”

Just then, the prelude to the song ended, and Liang Ting picked up the microphone and began to sing.

She is wearing a black sequin dress today, and the fishtail design outlines a slender figure. Although she is forty-four years old, she has been carefully maintained to make her skin look the same as a 30-year-old. Coupled with the smoky makeup that matches the styling, she looks like a queen.

Liang Ting is worthy of being a queen-level figure in the singing world, and she can sing “kneeling”. As soon as she opened her voice, her ethereal voice reverberated in the gym after being amplified by the microphone, and the whole gym instantly became silent, and everyone’s ears were attracted by her singing.

The song she sang is exactly the famous song “Dear You” many years ago. The song expresses a girl’s longing for the person she likes. The tune is mellow and melodious. With her unique voice, the audience’s emotions are completely moved. Some people even shed tears as they listened.

The songs sung by the women’s group just now were youthful, passionate and lively songs. As soon as the queen came out, the entire concert suddenly changed the style of painting. Xiao Lou couldn’t help but sigh with emotion: the five women’s group has already done a good job in singing, but Liang When Ting came out, it was different. Even if he is a layman, he feels that Liang Ting’s control of the song has reached the pinnacle.

Ye Qi sent a row of appreciative thumbs in the WeChat group: “Awesome! The handling of the high pitch is absolutely perfect, and the breath is also particularly stable. It is worthy of being a senior in the music industry for nearly 20 years!”

Yu Hanjiang asked: “Is there anything in the background?”

Ye Qi said, “Nothing unusual. Everyone gathered around the corner to listen to Teacher Liang sing. Many of the staff are also fans of Teacher Liang. She sings really well.”

Ye Qi is a student of the Conservatory of Music, and his appreciation of songs is naturally different from everyone else. Xiao Lou and the others only think Liang Ting sings well. Ye Qi will indeed analyze Liang Ting’s control of each tone and breath from a more professional perspective, and admire this predecessor even more in his heart.

After Liang Ting’s song ended, there was a scream that almost overturned the roof.

Although the fans who came to the scene today are fans of the 505 girl group, they still respect the Queen Liang Ting in the music scene. With prolonged applause, Liang Ting stood in the middle of the big stage, smiling and bowing to the audience: “Thank you!”

Excited cheers were heard from the audience again. Liang Ting took a breath, calmed his breath, and said seriously: “Today, I am honored to participate in the first concert of the 505 girl group. The five of them are very hardworking and excellent singers. I am very happy to be able to Seeing them realize their dreams, hold their own concerts, and get the support of so many people…”

A passage from Tin Hau was truly sentimental, and her voice sounded very sincere.

The fans in the audience were very happy that she praised her idol so much and gave her applause.

Shao Qingge didn’t want to listen to these official words, so he leaned over to Xiao Lou and said, “Liang Ting should only prepare a song. The next guest is our Xiaoye. I am quite looking forward to seeing Xiaoye sing on the big stage.”

Xiao Loudao: “It is Xiaoye’s dream to hold a concert. He should be very happy to be a guest at the concert, right?”

Shao Qingge said with a smile, “Of course, he probably was so excited that he didn’t sleep well these past two days.”

At this moment, Liang Ting finally finished speaking and prepared to leave. The host stepped onto the stage and said loudly: “Let us once again thank Teacher Liang Ting for coming with warm applause!”

Liang Ting smiled and waved goodbye to the auditorium, turned and left the stage amidst the screams of the audience. With her status, coming to sing a song has given the girl group’s face, and the fans on the scene are very happy. This special guest is a pleasant surprise.

Backstage, Ye Qi stood at the corner and waited for Liang Ting to come down.

Many people around rushed to ask Teacher Liang to give an autograph. Ye Qi mixed in the crowd and asked for a copy. He blushed and said, “Teacher Liang, you sing really well!”

Liang Ting glanced at him, smiled and said, “Thank you.”

Ye Qi got his autograph and stuffed it into his pocket, probably because of music. He has a good impression of this queen.

The host said loudly: “Next, let’s invite our second guest-rookie Ye Qi! As a junior of the 505 women’s team, he won the best single award just one year after his debut. Ye Qi is also a very good person. A potential singer, please ask him to sing songs for us!”

The surrounding audience began to discuss: “Who is Ye Qi?”

“Is this Yeqi very popular?”

“It seems to be a hot newcomer recently. I saw his songs in the top ten on the music chart.”

“It’s the same company, and it’s the same agent. It’s normal to ask him to come and have a familiar face during the concert…”

Under the illumination of the chasing light, Ye Qi quickly stepped onto the big stage.

A crowd of spectators under the black press, the flashing light sticks were constantly shaking, as if they had gathered into a vast sea of stars, Ye Qi stood in the middle of the stage, his mind a little dizzy for a while.

Although he knew that this was just a role-playing in the secret room plot, he still couldn’t restrain his excitement.

-The concert, he stood on the big stage of the concert!

——This is his biggest dream. Even if it was realized in the secret room world, he was very satisfied.

Ye Qi took a deep breath to calm himself down, and nodded to the audio teacher in the audience.

A familiar prelude sounded, and Ye Qi sat on the high chair in the middle of the stage alone, holding the guitar, and began to sing.

He sang an old song “Birch Forest”.

The lyrics of this song use a narrative approach, which is suitable for quiet listening. The smooth melody of the guitar spreads from his fingertips to the entire venue, and the bright voice of the teenager glides across the eardrums of everyone on the scene like a clear spring.

“The quiet village is filled with white snow, and the pigeons fly under the hazy sky;

The two names are carved into the birch trees, and they swear to love each other and spend their entire lives…”

This song is about a tragic love story.

The couple who once vowed to love each other for a lifetime engraved their names on the birch trees. But there was war from afar. The man resolutely joined the army. A few years later, the girl heard the bad news. Waiting all day.

Simple melody and low-pitched singing are like an old friend confiding an ancient legend in his ear.

This kind of lyric song is actually difficult to control, especially Ye Qi is young and has no emotional experience.

But Ye Qi sang very well. He was very engaged when he sang, as if he had also come to the white birch forest and hummed softly with his eyes closed. The songs sung by his voice had a special charm. The audience at the scene also questioned that the younger brother was here to catch the enthusiasm of the sister. After listening to him sing for a while, the audience was immediately intoxicated by his singing.

After a song was sung, the scene was quiet for a few seconds, followed by deafening applause and screams!

Some girls listened too deeply, and tears were already in their eyes.

Most of the fans glared and talked excitedly: “So handsome!” “This little brother has a very clean voice.” “His dress is also very refreshing, much better than those little meat with colorful hair. Jeans, cardigans, black short hair, holding a guitar and singing, he is like a schoolboy!” “Little brother, I want to fan him, what is his name?” “Yeqi!”

Shao Qingge listened to the comments of the audience behind him, leaning on his seat and slightly narrowed his eyes.

He thought that Ye Qi would be so nervous that he would forget his words when he was on the stage for the first time. He did not expect that Ye Qi was really talented in singing—the appearance of a teenager sitting on the stage and singing quietly was really immovable. Open your eyes.

Warm follow light, simple shape, smooth guitar accompaniment, and clean sound.

This is the purest form of music.

Ye Qi became the focus of the audience at this moment, and countless audiences gave him applause.

Shao Qingge sat under the stage, looking at the serious and handsome young man on the stage, couldn’t help thinking-Xiaoye, one day in the future, I will give you a solo concert that truly belongs to you.

【Chapter 257, The Dead】

Before Ye Qi came to the stage, he was very nervous, afraid that he might sing badly. He didn’t expect the final effect to be good. Listening to the warm applause and cheers from the audience, Ye Qi suppressed his excitement, jumped off the high chair and held it with one hand. Playing the guitar, bowed deeply to the audience: “Thank you everyone, thank you!”

Xiao Lou looked at the boy’s red cheeks, and smiled, “Xiao Ye looks very excited. No matter what the result of this secret room, he can be considered worthy of this trip, right?”

Yu Hanjiang nodded: “Well, I realized my dream indirectly.”

Ye Qi prepared two songs, one is the sad guitar version of “Birch Forest”, and the other is the relatively passionate “I Believe”. Ye Qi obviously became more engaged in singing. When it came time for the second song, he put down his guitar, sang and danced, and waved to the audience. The whole stage seemed to have become his domain.

Shao Qingge chuckled: “He really had a lot of fun.”

Xiao Lou helpless: “It would be nice if nothing happened to this concert, Xiaoye could leave a good memory.”

Yu Hanjiang faintly said: “The Ace of Hearts will not be so kind, letting Ye Qi come to the secret room and just hold a concert.”

As he said, it is impossible for the gatekeeper to kindly let Ye Qi come to the secret room for a concert. The arrangement for this concert must be for everyone to find clues. As for whether the scene will be dead, this is not necessarily true. It may be today. The people at the concert were related to the murder of Lin Yiyan, such as the line between Xie Yuan and his wife Liang Ting, they had not had time to investigate.

Ye Qi’s two songs were soon finished. He obviously experienced a singer’s addiction today. He bowed to the audience with excitement and thanked him, and then said seriously: “It’s an honor to participate in the concert of the seniors. I hope everyone will support 505. The girl group, I also wish the senior sisters a complete success in their concert tour!”

The fans in the audience applauded the face, and some people went online to search for information about Yeqi.

Ye Qi bowed again and thanked him, and then he retired and returned to the backstage.

After the concert started, in order to ensure the safety of the stars, a special security company staff was responsible for clearing the venue, except for the staff with work permits, as well as celebrity agents and assistants, as well as miscellaneous people.

The security is so strict, in addition to worrying about the black powder posing a threat to the singer’s safety, it can also prevent the paparazzi from coming backstage to take pictures.

After Ye Qi stepped off the stage, his agent Yun Lan immediately greeted him and patted his arm with a big smile: “It was a good sing. I think the audience’s response is also very good. After the two songs are sung, follow your Weibo The degree has increased by tens of thousands.”

She took her phone and showed Ye Qi the tens of thousands of new Weibo fans.

Ye Qi didn’t care about the number of fans. After all, they disappeared after leaving the secret room. He was very happy to be able to sing on stage as a singer today. He looked at Yun Lan and said, “Thank you, Sister Yun, for giving me this opportunity.”

Yun Lan handed him a bottle of water: “Drink some water.”

Ye Qi did have a dry mouth after singing two songs in a row. He took the mineral water she handed and poured it in half a bottle before returning to the locker room with her. On the way, the two happened to meet the 505 women’s team members who had changed their looks. Ye Qi carefully observed their faces and found that the five girls were talking and laughing, nothing unusual.

Yun Lan left Ye Qi and turned to tell them: “In the second stage, there is a chorus, followed by a solo performance by everyone. After singing this song, Yu Xin will stay on the stage and sing a solo, and the others will immediately respond. Are you clear about changing clothes backstage?”

The five nodded together: “I know Sister Yun.”

Yun Lan stretched out her hand: “Sing well, come on.”

The five happily folded their hands together and shouted for cheer, and then they lined up to the stage.

They all changed their clothes, makeup and hair. The stylist is not bad this time. The styles designed for each girl are very in line with their personality. Ye Qi watched their back disappear at the end of the passage and scratched in confusion. Back of head. I thought: Isn’t it the women’s team that had an accident? They look normal.

Yun Lan looked back at him and said, “Okay, Xiaoye, your mission today has been completed, go back and rest.”

Ye Qi nodded and turned back to the lounge.

In the long corridor, they saw a woman with curly hair just around the corner. Yun Lan introduced, “This is Teacher Liang’s agent, Sister Chen, and this is Ye Qi, a newcomer to our company.”

Sister Chen smiled and said, “Ye Qi, the singing just now was very good. I have listened to both of them. They have great potential!”

Ye Qi was praised as happy, and said politely, “Thank you, Sister Chen.”

Yun Lan asked, “Where is Teacher Liang?”

Sister Chen said: “She has a headache again and is resting in the lounge.”

The two said no more. After saying goodbye to them, Ye Qi went back to the lounge and went to the agent to gossip: “Does Teacher Liang have a headache?” The agent said, “I heard it was a migraine. That’s great.”

Ye Qi let out an “Oh” and took out his mobile phone while sitting on the sofa.

Yu Hanjiang sent a message in the group: “Xiaoye, is there anything unusual?”

Ye Qi quickly replied: “The five members of the women’s team have just changed their looks and are preparing for the second round of performance. It should be fine to see their expressions.”

Yu Hanjiang asked, “Where is Liang Ting?”

Ye Qi said: “I saw her agent just now and said Teacher Liang had a headache and was resting next door.”

Just after sending this message, I suddenly heard a scream from the next door: “Ah!”

Just then five members of the women’s group came on stage, and there were deafening screams and applause at the concert.

The screams from the next door overlapped with the screams of the fans at the concert, almost making Ye Qi think that he was hearing hallucinations, but he got up from the sofa immediately, and walked to the next door to check the situation.

He came to the door of the lounge next door—it really wasn’t right!

The agent was standing at the door with wide-eyed eyes, covering his mouth, his face full of horror. Ye Qi walked around her, followed her gaze and stared at the same place.

I saw Liang Ting wearing a pure black fishtail dress, bending her body into the shape of a shrimp, lying on her side, with a glare of blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, and reaching out in the direction of the door, as if to call for help. The woman’s body was stiff, and she had obviously lost her breath.

Ye Qi noticed something was wrong and immediately sent a message to Xiao Lou and the others: “Something happened to Liang Ting!”

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other and called Shang Shao Qingge to come backstage quickly.

When the concert officially began at 8pm, the security guard cleared the backstage and blocked the exit and entrance to prevent paparazzi and black fans from getting in and making trouble. Both Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were very face-to-face, and they did not bring work cards. The security guards stopped them and refused to let them pass. Yu Hanjiang simply took out the police officer ID: “Policeman.”

The security guard was stunned, and Shao Qingge raised his eyebrows and said, “Isn’t letting him go?”

Several security guards immediately opened the door and let the three pass by. Yu Hanjiang, Xiao Lou, and Shao Qingge strode to the backstage rest area.

The gymnasium often undertakes large-scale events and sometimes holds various cultural evenings. The rest area in the backstage is large enough to accommodate thousands of people. At this time, the entire passage is closed and only a few rooms are used for this concert.

Yu Hanjiang walked while observing the layout of the backstage.

The backstage is a “back”-shaped layout. The corridor connecting the big stage is very empty, and there are no traces of surveillance cameras. It should be for fear of divulging the privacy of the stars.

The largest room on the left is the staff lounge. Passing a corner, there is the dressing room and dressing room of the 505 girl group; diagonally opposite is a small dressing room of about 10 square meters, reserved for Ye Qi; teacher Liang Ting is a special guest, so there is a separate The large dressing room, the scene of the crime is here.

Seeing the Yu team and the others, Ye Qi immediately ran over nervously and said, “Ms. Liang had an accident…” He was very uncomfortable. Liang Ting sang really well, and Ye Qi respected this senior in the music industry. I just talked to her and asked for her signature, but in a blink of an eye she became a dead person?

Looking at Ye Qi’s expression, Xiao Lou patted him on the shoulder as a relief.

The agent was dumbfounded at the door, apparently shocked by the scene before her eyes. After hearing the footsteps behind her, she finally recovered and tremblingly took out her mobile phone: “Report, call the police!”

Yu Hanjiang whispered: “No, I am a policeman.”

He took out the police officer’s certificate and showed it to the agent, and Xiao Lou also took out his forensic certificate.

The agent looked at them suspiciously: “This…is anyone calling the police? Why are you here so soon…”

Yu Hanjiang said: “It happens to be nearby.”

He winked at Xiao Lou, and the two entered the scene together, put on gloves and started to work.

Xiao Lou laid the crooked corpse flat on the ground and started a simple autopsy. He quickly concluded: “The death time is within 10 minutes, and there are no other injuries on the body. The cause of death should be poisoning. What kind of toxin should be taken. Take her body back for testing.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded, frowned and checked the scene carefully.

He raised his head and looked at the roof. For the privacy of the actors, there were no surveillance cameras installed in the dressing room. This was very fatal and provided great convenience to the murderer.

Yu Hanjiang quickly searched for clues in the house.

There are some lipstick, foundation, eyeliner and other things on the dressing table, and there is a large portable cosmetic bag next to it. Yu Hanjiang asked his agent: “Is this the make-up artist’s stuff, or is it brought by Liang Ting?”

The agent walked over with a blank face and said, “She is used to bringing her own cosmetics when she goes out.”

Yu Hanjiang nodded, put all these cosmetics into the cosmetic bag and prepared to take it back for testing later.

There was a black thermos cup on the dressing table. There was no water in it, but there was a little trace of lipstick on the cup. Liang Ting should have drunk it. In addition, there was also an unsealed bottle of mineral water, which Yu Hanjiang also brought back.

There are no leftover snacks in the house, and there are no food packaging bags in the trash can. There are only two ways the murderer poisoned——

Poisoned in cosmetics or in drinking water.

Judging from the circumstances of the incident, it is more likely that the water is poisonous, because if the murderer poisoned her lipstick, she might die on the stage in the middle of singing. The poison in the water would guarantee her death. Backstage-She only drinks water when she is backstage.

Liang Ting came to the stage to sing a song at 21:00 in the evening, and returned to the backstage at 21:05.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qi came to the stage and sang two songs in a row. Within ten minutes of Ye Qi singing, Liang Ting was poisoned and died. The murderer was too late to kill within 10 minutes, and the backstage was so messy that it was likely to be broken by someone, which was too risky. Therefore, the murderer may have premeditated, poisoned her water in advance, and waited for her to drink the poison.

Although the things on the dressing table are messy, the bottles and cans are standing upright on the table, and the dresses on the deceased are neat, and the hair and makeup are not messy, which proves that she had not had any physical conflicts with anyone before her death.

Yu Hanjiang walked a few steps from the seat to the position of the dead body, trying to reproduce the process of the crime.

After Liang Ting drank the poisonous water, she took three steps, and suddenly the poisonous hair fell to the ground. She wanted to call for help at the door, but the screams at the concert were deafening, and Ye Qi’s singing attracted most of the backstage staff. Attention, no one heard her call for help.

Yu Hanjiang touched his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly said sharply: “The murderer must be still at the scene! The scene is immediately sealed off, and no staff in the background are allowed to leave!”

Good night everyone and see you tomorrow!
