"What? Witchcraft?" The old man named Victor recalled it and said in confusion, "What are you talking about? Long Dan is a musician, how could he get involved with witchcraft
"Also, is the Yunzhou you are talking about the Yunzhou of China?"
"Yes," Zhao Yu said, "Long Dan should have been there, right?"
"No... In my impression, Long Dan has never been to China," the old man said. "The Royal Symphony Orchestra at that time did not have the opportunity to perform in cities such as Jingzhou or Shanghai until 2005... "
"Long Dan's information is very important to me!" Zhao Yu said, "If you think about it again, if you can provide me with more information about him, I will buy you a box of the best red wine!"
"Haha... Young man, I am short of wine, but I am not short of money..." The old man smiled slightly, "Don't use these material things to blackmail me. I am a free conductor..."
"Two boxes! The best whiskey!" Zhao Yu stretched out two fingers.
"Why can't you understand? You Orientals are too utilitarian," the old man waved his hand, took another sip, and then said seriously, "I want whiskey that is more than 10 years old, and it is a genuine product from Red Sea Winery in Yorkshire! "
"Deal!" Zhao Yu took out a wad of bills and placed them in front of the old man.
"Long Dan had two unfortunate marriages," the old man said. "One was a waitress on a long-distance cruise ship, and the other was a model. Neither wife left him any children..."
“This man is withdrawn by nature, not sociable, and cannot drink!
"Although, I don't know if he believed in witchcraft, but I clearly remember that he always wore some strange decorations on his body, and...
"Well..." Victor recalled, "One time when I was going through the security check, I saw a small statue in his luggage. The statue looked like some kind of evil spirit. The evil spirit had obvious oriental characteristics. !”
oh
Zhao Yu's heart moved, as if he had found the source.
"The voyage cruise ship... the waitress..." Zhao Yu asked, "Long Dan... worked on the ship?"
"Performance, yes... that was all in the 1970s. At that time, there were also long-distance cruise ships," the old man said. "Long Dan told others that when he first made a living, he did that kind of long-distance cruise ship. Get on the show!
"It takes almost two or three years to go from Liverpool to New York, right? To be honest, it's very profitable. The guests on the ship are very generous, and they are all first class! They give a lot of tips...
"His first wife also met on the ship!"
oh…
Zhao Yu remembered that Miao Ying had told him that Zhang Fengyi’s father, Zhang Tingshan, had also been a sailor.
I wonder, has he ever interacted with this Long Dan
Zhang Tingshan, Long Dan, then... where is Peter
Peter is British. Do he and Long Dan know each other
So Zhao Yu proposed the name "Peter", but after recalling it, the old man didn't know Peter and had never even heard of the red bathtub case.
However, this old man named Victor was not stupid. When Zhao Yu asked, he guessed some clues and asked Zhao Yu:
"You're not... a policeman, are you? Long Dan... Long Dan killed someone, right?"
"Well, since you said so, I won't talk in circles with you!" Zhao Yu stopped hiding and simply explained to the old man.
After listening, the old man was completely dumbfounded and said with trembling lips: "No way? Almost... almost every performance in that era, we were together, I... I wouldn't have lived with a serial murderer for so many years, right?
"You... did you know?" the old man said, "Every time we perform, we stay in a different hotel, but in order to save money, the organizer usually two of us stay in one room!
"But... Long Dan always asked the organizer to book a single room on the grounds that he had a nervous breakdown and was afraid of delaying the performance! He even paid for it out of his own pocket...
"If you don't tell me, I can't remember anything, but when you say that, I remember everything," Victor said in horror, "Every time I go to Long Dan's room, I can smell it. The smell of burning paper, now it seems like... is he really using some kind of witchcraft!
"What's wrong with this man
"Is there something wrong with his ears and something wrong with his heart?"
"Then... among the orchestra," Zhao Yu asked again, "is there anyone else who knows Long Dan better than you?"
"Of course not!" Victor pointed to the concert hall opposite and said, "Those under the age of 50 don't even know that there is a person like Long Dan!
"And those over 50 years old will not go to the troupe to rehearse at this time. They are all looking for a place to relax and brew their emotions like me!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yu nodded and said in his heart. It seems that Li Benzheng vowed to go and investigate, but he would have gained more if he didn't just wait and see.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was better not to let Li Bencheng waste any effort, so he quickly pressed the communicator on his ear, wanting to notify Li Benzheng that he had found a clue and ask him to come back quickly.
As a result, after the contact was turned on, Zhao Yu was the first to hear a bang before he could speak...
Holy shit!
Zhao Yu stood up suddenly and asked quickly: "Hey, Lao Litou, what's wrong? Hey..."
However, there was no reply from Li Benzheng from the communicator, but there was a fierce fighting sound. It seems that there is also the rumble sound made after the piano was smashed...
"Damn!" Zhao Yu quickly touched the pistol at his waist and prepared to go to the other side to help.
There is no doubt that Li Benzheng was attacked.
Unexpectedly, my hunch was so accurate, there was really an ambush inside!
However, before leaving, Zhao Yu did not forget important things. He asked Victor for his phone number and said that I had something urgent to do. Let's continue chatting later!
"Huh? Wait a minute," Victor asked anxiously, "Where's my whiskey?"
"Here," Zhao Yu slapped a wad of banknotes on the table, "this is enough for you to buy ten boxes!"
After saying that, he immediately flew out of the restaurant.
The road is deserted and there are few pedestrians.
From the outside, it is impossible to see what is going on inside the concert hall.
While Zhao Yu continued to communicate with Li Benzheng using the communicator, he quickly walked around to the back of the concert hall, intending to find a back door to enter.
As a result, just after he climbed over the wall and entered the backyard of the concert hall, he suddenly saw that the back door was knocked open and a man in black flew out from inside!
The man in black was wearing a black suit. Although his body was strong, he still vomited a mouthful of blood after landing and could not get up again...
Immediately afterwards, Li Benzheng finally appeared. He and another man in black rolled out of the door. The two rolled across the steps and had a fierce fight on the ground.
Li Benzheng is known as the king of agents, and his strength is certainly extraordinary. However, the man in black struggled with Li Benzheng for several rounds, but he was not at a disadvantage.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly hid behind a large wooden box, trying to bypass the box and go from behind to help.
As a result, at this critical moment, a long-lost target suddenly appeared in Zhao Yu's mind! ! !
