Chapter 224 The Risk Is Too Great

The glass tank used in the mermaid show looked higher and larger in reality than what they had seen in the video. It was very far from the ground. It was probably set up between the two buildings to facilitate more people to see it. , can attract the attention of passers-by from a distance.

Cen Lian stood directly under the fish tank and raised his head to look up, making sure that the landscape lights were installed inside.

Wang Yuanteng has already started negotiating with the entertainment company.

"Our equipment will be specially checked before every performance," the manager in charge of the performance was arguing with Wang Yuanteng. "We will check the possibility of leakage and other things you mentioned every time, and not just once, before the performance officially starts. We will check at least three times.”

Cen Lian heard the movement here, so he walked over silently and listened quietly.

They had communicated with the manager before coming, but it was obvious that the manager was somewhat distrustful.

"Where do your performers enter from?" Cen Lian asked while standing on the stairs.

The management staff took them to an entrance on the third floor, "Just go in from here. This is a special line pipe for all landscape lights. It has a double-layer waterproof seal. There is also a special waterproof membrane on the lights. Every time we start, They will be checked carefully and there is absolutely no chance of anything going wrong.”

Cen Lian squatted in front of the pipe and carefully inspected the large glass pipe suspended in the air from two directions with Wu Qiushan.

As the manager said, as of this time today, all the wires have been sealed very carefully. Cen Lian tried them one by one with an electric pen and found no leaks.

At least for now, it's completely safe here.

"How do you inject the water?" Cen Lian asked after exiting.

"The water supply system directly connected to the pedestrian street," the management staff led them to the water injection port, "is right here. We will check it every time to make sure there is no problem with the water inside."

In fact, he didn't need to say anything, Cen Lian could tell that there was nothing wrong with the water, because the opening at the connection was obviously checked frequently, and there wasn't even any scale on it.

"Our performance is the most dangerous in the entire pedestrian street, so the fire and safety departments come to inspect every day, especially during holidays." The manager stared closely at Cen Lian, "We The staff who can go upstairs here must wear work badges and have their faces scanned, so no matter whether it is during normal times or during performances, people waiting can't get to the entrance and exit. "

The meaning of his words is quite obvious. At least this manager does not believe that someone can do anything in front of everyone under their strict guard.

"Officer Cen, I know you are from the criminal police team," the manager looked at Cen Lian after explaining, "I know you can't tell me what case involves our performance, but as an entertainment company, we We don’t want to take that risk, so we’ve decided to cancel tomorrow’s show.”

Wu Qiushan and Cen Lian, almost colleagues, looked at the manager who looked to be in his thirties in shock.

I didn't expect that he would cancel the performance so directly.

"If you don't seek death, you won't die," the manager smiled helplessly. "Although I am very confident in our protection measures, our company cannot afford even a 1% possibility. If something happens and the company goes bankrupt, we We’ll be screwed as well. If we cancel a show, we’ll at most lose some money and get scolded. If something goes wrong, no one will cover us up.”

This is probably a smart person, Cen Lian thought in his heart. He was still thinking about how to persuade them before, but it turned out that they thought more than him.

But think about it, if something really goes wrong with the performance project contracted by their company, no matter who did it, they will have to take responsibility for the unqualified protection measures themselves, and maybe they will have to bear some other responsibility. Black pot.

No one is a fool. The kind of person who refuses to believe in evil after receiving a death threat is not likely to appear in reality.

"Of course it would be better if you could decide this way." After Cen Lian said this, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Yes, all it takes is a word from this manager to cancel the show.

How could the murderer ensure that what he had done would not be discovered before the performance started and thus stop the entire performance?

For this murderer, no matter how many tricks he did, there was no guarantee that he would never be discovered.

It is even difficult for him to have a reliable enough plan B.

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong with this case." Wang Yuanteng said a few more words to the management staff before finding Cen Lian on a bench on the street. "I've looked at it inside and out. It's too difficult to complete the murder. And There needs to be no mistakes in every link, because their routine inspections before the performance are very cumbersome and include almost every aspect of the performance.”

"If I were a murderer, I would attack waterproof pipes and membranes to cause leakage. This is the simplest and most effective way." Cen Lian was still staring at the fish tank, "But until now, there has been no leakage in the facilities in the tank. Case."

"That means either he hasn't taken action yet, or he plans to take action tonight." Tang Hua continued.

Wu Qiushan immediately refuted him, "It's impossible. This murderer started arranging the transport vehicles as early as last week, and he wouldn't have started attacking the fish tank until tonight."

"Transportation vehicle?" Cen Lian suddenly realized why he felt something was wrong.

"Why did he attack the transport vehicle so early?"

According to the timeline explained by Zhou Yushan, the car's door locks had been broken on Tuesday because he got into the car on Wednesday and injected the poison, but tomorrow is the day of the live broadcast of the murder, and he destroyed the transportation so early in advance. Vehicles, don’t you worry about being discovered while transporting other things these days?

This was completely inconsistent with the caution he showed when picking the lock.

"Do you also think that this mermaid show is not the best place for live streaming of killings?" Wu Qiushan saw Cen Lian's thoughts, "I have thought so since I checked the performance equipment."

"Yes, the maneuverability is too low," Cen Lian finally looked away from the fish tank, "And I also thought of a question, why did he choose the transport truck of the medicinal wholesale market?"

This place is a certain distance from the medicinal wholesale market. Even if the entertainment company's own car has a problem, under normal circumstances, it will not borrow a car from such a far away place unless the murderer needs them to use the car.

"The murderer chose a van at the medicinal wholesale market, which is unreasonable in itself." Wang Yuanteng also followed Cen Lian's thinking and discovered the problem.
