Chapter 711 Theater Murder

"I guess there must be business coming." Martin wore his deerstalker hat askew, held his pipe, and put on a wise expression.

"It's like this, Mr. Detective... You see, the song and dance performance has already started. We are already missing a dancer, and now even the second dancer can't go on stage..."

Walter Finn pointed to the hall next door, and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

In the theater hall, Lingna's singing came.

She didn't seem to be affected by Eva's absence, and her singing was still so effortless and passionate.

"It's a pity that there is no one to dance with, but fortunately Mrs. Lingna can hold the stage by herself, and her singing skills are worthy of the audience's tickets." Martin smiled nonchalantly.

"It's not like that... Mr. Detective, the point is not how well Lingna sings, but why Lingna sings here." Mr. Finn was already a little incoherent.

"If she doesn't sing here, where else can she go?" Martin couldn't help laughing.

"Alas, it's hard to explain! Two detectives, and Miss Quinn, please follow me!"

Under the guidance of Mr. Finn, the three went downstairs in confusion and walked into the dressing room on the first floor.

"Three, for the sake of the Lord, please promise me that no matter what you see next, don't spread it!"

Mr. Finn stood in front of the door, his face intertwined with pleading and panic.

"As long as you can afford the consulting fee, we will certainly abide by professional ethics and keep our mouths shut." Roger said lightly.

"No problem, of course no problem! Things that can be solved with money are all small problems!"

Mr. Finn forced himself to be calm, took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as the three entered, they saw the wax golem lying on the bench with its back to the door.

"Mrs. Lingna's performance has already begun, why is the wax golem still lazy here and not dancing with her?" Louise asked in wonder.

"My dear, Mr. Finn just said that his two dancers can't perform on stage today. Eva sprained her ankle. As for the wax golem..." Roger looked at Walter Finn, "What's wrong with it?"

Mr. Finn trembled, as if with great fear, and uttered a word softly.

"She's dead."

"Dead?" Roger was stunned for a moment, "I think you mean that the wax golem has a malfunction and needs to be repaired before it can function normally?"

"No, she's dead... She was strangled to death." Mr. Finn's voice trembled and his face was pale.

Roger exchanged glances with Martin and Louise.

He simply stopped asking Mr. Finn, who was already panicking, and walked quickly to the wax golem.

When their eyes fell on the face of the wax golem, they all couldn't help but gasp.

On its face, the white wax had been peeled off, revealing a face with a purple and blue color, bulging eyes, a distorted face, and a tongue sticking out of the mouth, drooping at the corner of the mouth.

This is a typical feature of death by suffocation.

Although the dead woman's face was distorted, everyone recognized it at a glance. It was Mrs. Lingna!

That's right, Mrs. Lingna's body was placed in the dressing room, stripped of her clothes, and smeared with a layer of white wax from head to toe. She was also carefully dressed in a ballet skirt, dressed up as a wax golem.

"What on earth is going on?" Louise turned back and asked Mr. Finn.

"I don't know..." Mr. Finn said, wiping his sweat, "When the song and dance performance was about to start, I came down to urge the wax golem to go upstairs, but I called it several times and it didn't move..."

"I got angry and pushed it hard, and it fell to the ground, its face cracked, revealing Lingna's face..."

"Oh my God, this is just like a nightmare!"

Mr. Finn held his head and lamented.

Rogge squatted in front of the dead woman and carefully examined her face to confirm that there was no sign of disguise magic.

"It seems that the deceased is really Mrs. Lingna."

"That's strange." Martin scratched his head in confusion, "Don't worry about who killed Mrs. Lingna. Since she died here, who is the woman singing in the theater on the second floor?"

"My brother, this is a good question!" Roger slowly stood up with a solemn expression, "Since Mrs. Lingna's body was disguised as a wax golem, then the woman singing upstairs is probably Mrs. Lingna disguised as the wax golem."

"Uh...you mean, the wax golem can not only dance like Ms. Eva, but also perfectly imitate Mrs. Lingna's singing?" Martin sneered, "If it really has such a skill, Mr. Finn can be regarded as picking up a treasure, which is equivalent to having two singing and dancing stars at the same time, and he doesn't have to pay a penny for its performance."

Mr. Finn was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed subtly.

"Brother, what are you talking about!" Rogge glared at Martin in anger, "Killing someone means paying with your life, and the wax golem is no exception! The place where it should be is not the stage, but the place of execution!"

"Stop talking so much, hurry upstairs, don't let the murderer get away!"

Louise turned and rushed out of the dressing room.

Rogge and Martin also chased after her.

As the three climbed the stairs, the wax golem pretending to be Mrs. Lingna was singing the last cadenza.

This perfect high-pitched coloratura seemed to be more passionate and tear-jerking than usual performances.

The audience was deeply moved, stood up collectively, and applauded enthusiastically.

Rogge and others realized that the singing of this fake contained supernatural power...

She incorporated the bard's "Ecstasy" into her singing, which not only mesmerized the audience, but also made Roger, Martin and Louise, who heard the singing, lost in thought.

When the three woke up, the performance upstairs had ended.

At the same time, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng received two system prompts in succession.

…

System prompt: Players have entered the "Goddess Mode"!

System prompt: Main quest updated - arrest the wax golem that murdered and impersonated Lingna Bella!

…

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng, without any prior agreement, switched to the subjective perspective and rushed into the backstage of the theater at the fastest speed.

"Wow! The audience can't come in, what do you want to do!"

A maid who was cleaning was frightened and screamed when she saw three strangers rushing in.

Martin rushed forward and asked her in a rough voice: "Tell me! Where is the fake hiding?"

"What, what fake?" The maid was almost scared to tears by him. She picked up the mop with trembling hands and blocked the aggressive Martin, "Don't mess around... I don't know anything!"

Gao Fei patted Martin's shoulder, signaling him not to be impulsive, and asked the maid politely: "Excuse me, where is Madam Lingna? We have an urgent matter and must talk to her immediately."

The maid hesitated for a moment and whispered: "She is in the dressing room."

Gao Fei breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to wink at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng walked quickly to the door of the dressing room and tried to open it, but found that the door was locked.
