Chapter 20 Murder Magic (1)
1
The multi-functional studio hall of the Municipal TV Station was brightly lit, and the large-scale magic reveal program "Deciphering Magic" was being broadcast live.Today the host is going to decipher a magic called "Magic Hypnotism".

The first part of the program is magic reappearance, which is to perform the magic to be deciphered from beginning to end.

Under the spotlight, in the middle of the circular stage, there is a chair with a backrest.

The host came to the stage, and the slender young female assistant sat on the chair.

The host holds a crystal pendant in his hand and shakes it dozens of times in front of the female assistant. The female assistant leans against the back of the chair and gradually enters a hypnotic state as if enchanted by someone.

The host slowly raised her two hands from the left and right sides, at shoulder height, and caressed her arms intently for a moment. The shape of "一" is very straight.

The host put his hands on her arms, his feet off the ground, and put all his weight of more than 100 kilograms on her arms, while the female assistant's arms remained motionless.

More incredible shots are yet to come.

At this time, two strong men ran up from the backstage, their bodies were muscular, and each of them weighed at least two hundred catties.

The two took off their shoes, stepped on the short ladder, and stood on the two arms of the female assistant.

At this time a miracle happened, the two arms of the female assistant were like an iron pole capable of carrying a thousand catties, forcibly "picking up" the two strong men.

Those two slender arms were still straight and did not sink in the slightest.

The audience was stunned.

Could it be that the host really has such a magical hypnotism that can instantly transform a delicate woman into a superwoman with infinite strength?
The host smiled slightly at the camera and said, "Next, it's time to decipher the magic."

The camera lens turned and aimed at the back of the female assistant.

Only then did the audience realize that behind the female assistant's arm, there were actually two steel bars stretched out flat.

It turned out that when the host was stroking the female assistant's arm, he secretly pulled out the steel bars hidden in the beam of the back of the chair from the left and right sides.

Because the arm of the female assistant is blocking it, the audience in front cannot see it.

The two strong men seemed to be standing on the arms of the female assistant, but they were actually stepping on the steel bars.

Then I took a close-up shot of the four legs of the chair. It turned out that the four legs of the chair were also fixed on the stage with screws.

The audience could see clearly through the big screen that this seemingly miraculous "hypnosis" was nothing but two hidden steel rods.

The audience suddenly burst into warm applause.

The host of this magic show is Feng Kun, 38 years old this year. He is an apprentice of the famous magic master Mo Daozi, and he is also a magician with special skills.Mo Daozi had two apprentices in total, Feng Kun was the first disciple, and the second disciple was Zhang Tianqi, who was a few years younger than Feng Kun.

Because the second disciple Zhang Tianqi was able to speak well and won the favor of the master, after Mo Daozi retired, he passed the mantle to him.

With the guidance and help of his master, Zhang Tianqi quickly made a name for himself in the magic world. Not only did his net worth rise, his performance fee was comparable to that of a first-line star, and he also cooperated with a TV station to produce a large-scale original magic show "The Great Magician". Regularly launch some self-created magic programs, which are very popular with the audience.

Zhang Tianqi has become one of the top figures in the domestic magic circle.

As for Feng Kun, although he is confident that his skills are no worse than his juniors, he has bad luck and lack of appreciation. He has been in the magic circle for a few years, but he has been unknown and has little influence.

Seeing that his younger brother is successful and famous, but he has made no achievements, he was so angry that he cooperated with the network TV station, which has been competing with the city TV station for ratings, to launch a magic revealing program "Deciphering Magic", which is dedicated to revealing all kinds of magic. He deciphered everything from David Copperfield's and Liu Qian's magic tricks to public performances by local magicians.

Of course, the most deciphered is the magic performed by his junior brother Zhang Tianqi.

As long as Zhang Tianqi has a new magic program launched, he will go to the scene to observe it carefully, and then reveal the secret in the "Deciphering Magic" program.

After the show was launched, it became very popular, and the ratings were far higher than Zhang Tianqi's original magic show.

After "Deciphering Magic" was aired, because of breaking the rules, many tricks that magicians are famous for were revealed one by one by Feng Kun in the show, and they could no longer perform on stage, so they were greatly condemned by the magic world.

Zhang Tianqi gritted his teeth with hatred for this senior brother who sang against him, but there was nothing he could do about him.

After deciphering "Magical Hypnotism", it was already past eleven o'clock at night when Feng Kun walked out of the TV station.

He felt a little hungry, so he walked into a ramen restaurant opposite the TV station and ate a bowl of Lanzhou ramen.After paying the money, he was about to get up and leave, but suddenly found that there was a person standing in front of him at some point.Looking up, it was Zhang Tianqi, his junior brother.

Zhang Tianqi looked at him and said in a strange voice: "Brother, I watched the live broadcast just now. Your revealing the secret was very successful. It can be said that even the tiniest details of magic have not escaped your eyes."

Feng Kun smiled indifferently, and said: "Junior brother has won the award. If it wasn't for the wonderful and perfect performance of this magic trick by my junior brother, it wouldn't look so good when I decipher it."

It turned out that the "Magical Hypnotism" he deciphered in the program tonight was the new magic performed by Zhang Tianqi at a large party a few days ago.

Zhang Tianqi said: "I recently created a large-scale magic trick called "Human Puzzle". On Friday night, a magic contest will be held at the People's Grand Theater. As a special guest performer, I will perform this magic trick at the end of the competition. Magic. Here are the tickets to that show, and I hope you'll be there."

Feng Kun took the ticket he handed over and said, "Okay, Junior Brother is welcome, Brother, I will definitely come to support you."

Zhang Tianqi's face darkened, and he continued: "The program "Human Puzzle" is a new magic that I have spent countless efforts to create. I believe that no one in the world can solve it. If you can decipher the mystery, I, Zhang Tianqi Wash your hands in the golden basin, withdraw from the world of magic, and never use the word 'magic' again."

Feng Kun frowned and asked, "What if I can't decipher it?"

A cold light flashed in Zhang Tianqi's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't have the ability to decipher my magic tricks, please get out of the magic circle, and don't make waves in the magic circle and engage in revealing shows, otherwise you will lose your reputation and regret it."

Feng Kun nodded generously, accepted his challenge, and said, "Okay, let's make a high-five and make an oath."

At around [-]:[-] on Friday night, Feng Kun came to the entrance of the People's Grand Theater and was about to check the tickets to enter when he suddenly heard a voice behind him calling him: "Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng!" Turning around, he saw a middle-aged couple leading A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy came towards him.

It was the boy who called him just now.

Feng Kun couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

It turned out that the boy's mother was Ning Yi, Feng Kun's ex-wife.

Feng Kun and Ning Yi were married more than ten years ago. Not long after their marriage, they gave birth to a son. Feng Kun named him Feng Jian.

Feng Jian has shown a strong interest in magic since he was a child. Under Feng Kun's careful training, he soon became a well-known young magician, often performing magic at school parties.

But when Feng Jian grew up to be a teenager, Feng Kun found that the child didn't look like himself at all, but more and more like his wife's ex-lover before marriage.

So he secretly took his son for a DNA paternity test, and it turned out that Feng Jian was really not his biological son.

Under Feng Kun's repeated questioning, Ning Yi told him in tears that she had had sex with that old lover the night before she married him.Not long after the marriage, she became pregnant. She thought it was Feng Kun's child, so she gave birth to it. Who knew that by mistake, the child had grown up so much, only to find out that it was the offspring of that old lover.

In a fit of anger, Feng Kun divorced Ning Yi and dumped the child to Ning Yi.

Ning Yi's old lover was Miao Renfeng, the principal of an elementary school. It happened that his wife had just died of illness. When he learned that Ning Yi had divorced with their children, he immediately took them to his side.

After Ning Yi and Miao Renfeng got married, Feng Jian also changed his name to Miao Jian.

But the child didn't understand the grievances and grievances between adults. When he saw Feng Kun, he still screamed very affectionately.

Feng Kun had no choice but to greet the family of three.

Ning Yi told him that Miao Jian also participated in this magic contest and entered the finals tonight.The couple accompanied their son to the competition.

Seeing the back of the family of three walking into the theater, Feng Kun couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.

He thought that if it wasn't for that nasty Miao Renfeng, it would be him and Ning Yi who would accompany his son in the competition tonight, what a warm and happy picture it would be!

Feng Kun walked into the theater while thinking about his thoughts.As soon as I found a seat and sat down, the magic game began.

The first to perform on stage was a young female magician.

I saw that she cut a paper figurine with scissors, put it on the table, and it was able to walk by itself, just like a real person, which is really miraculous.

Feng Kun knew that she just cleverly stuck a ground beetle under the foot of the paper figurine.

After a few performances, it was Miao Jian's turn to perform, and his magic performance was "Coin Piercing Cup".

I saw him picking up a glass in his left hand and a coin in his right hand, and slapped it hard on the bottom of the glass.With a crisp jingle, the coin really passed through the bottom of the cup and got into the cup.

The audience applauded and applauded, but Feng Kun couldn't help but smile knowingly, he had already seen the mystery.

It turned out that Miao Jian had prepared two identical coins. When he slapped the bottom of the cup with his right hand, he cleverly hid the coins in his sleeve.And another coin, which had already been hidden in the palm of the left hand, fell from the mouth of the cup with a sound from the palm of the left hand covering the mouth of the cup.

Because the movement is extremely fast and done in one go, the audience looks as if a coin has really been drilled into the glass out of thin air.

As soon as the two-hour magic competition ended, the lights in the theater were suddenly extinguished, and a suspicious hissing sound came out from the speakers. At first glance, it sounded like countless poisonous snakes were spitting poison in the dark. Arrows, surrounded the auditorium.

Everyone was so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe out, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird and terrifying.

Audiences who have watched the trailer know that the grand finale of this competition - the magical magic "Human Body Puzzle" performed by special guest and famous magician Zhang Tianqi will be on the stage soon.

The curtain on the stage was slowly opened, and in the half-bright stage lights stood the magician Zhang Tianqi in a black dress, and his seven young disciples.

The seven apprentices are all wearing the same clothes, but in different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple.Next to each disciple, there is a transparent glass box.The shape of the glass box is a bit weird, like a capital "big", obviously a special prop.

Zhang Tianqi signaled the disciples to open the lids of each glass box for the audience to inspect one by one to show that there is no mechanism inside.Then with an order, the seven disciples lay down in the glass box one after another, sleeping in the shape of a "big" with their hands and feet spread out, and covered the box with their own hands.Fortunately, there are small round holes for ventilation in the glass box, so people will not suffocate when lying in it.

Zhang Tianqi's magic tricks have always been known for being thrilling, weird, and beautiful. At this time, all the contestants who had finished the competition, together with all the backstage staff, flocked to the auditorium to watch.

Feng Kun knew that a good show was about to be staged, how could he sit still?I hurriedly got up and left my seat, took out the digital camera I had prepared, walked around in the theater, observed the performances on the stage from different angles, and kept taking pictures of the scenes on the stage, so that I could study them carefully when I went back. to crack.

Zhang Tianqi made a brief explanation to the audience, then took out a chainsaw, and sawed off the big disciple's shoulder.

Hearing a few chichi sounds, one arm of the big disciple was sawed off, together with the glass box.

There were timid audiences in the audience who screamed out in fright.

Zhang Tianqi took out two pieces of glass, inserted them through the sawing seam, and then divided them left and right. The sawn arm was put into the small glass box that was sawed open.

Then he sawed off the other arm and both legs of the big disciple, and finally even sawed off the head.

In this way, this big disciple was divided into six pieces, the head, left and right hands, left and right feet, and torso were placed in six small glass boxes.

Next, he did the same thing, and without much effort, Zhang Tianqi sawed the seven apprentices into six, seven, and 42 yuan.

The audience in the audience opened their eyes wide, held their breath, and did not even dare to vent their breath, wondering what magic trick he would perform next.

I saw that Zhang Tianqi randomly messed up the order of the 42 boxes, using the head of the first disciple to match the body of the second disciple, plus the hands of the third disciple and the feet of the fourth disciple.

After such random matching, 42 human bodies were used to reassemble seven people, and then the glass separated by the saw seam was removed, and a red cloth was covered on each "person".

Zhang Tianqi circled around each "person" and muttered in his mouth, as if a sorcerer was performing a magic spell, and suddenly shouted: "Fog!"

Several strands of white smoke spewed out from the four corners of the stage, covering the entire stage in an instant.

A few seconds later, the smoke gradually cleared, Zhang Tianqi slowly lifted the red cloth covering the first glass box, and saw a person lying in the first box, but it was the head of the first apprentice matched with the body of the second apprentice , plus the hands of the third apprentice and the feet of the fourth apprentice.The hands, feet and torso are all dressed in different colored clothes.

Such a person made up of several human bodies from different people can still come to life. He is lying in a glass box, winking at the audience, stretching his fists and feet, and doing all kinds of funny and weird movements.

Zhang Tianqi then uncovered the other six pieces of red cloth, and put them on the box casually, and saw that in the six glass boxes, there were actually six patchwork living people lying there.

After Zhang Tianqi showed the assembled living figures to the audience for a few minutes, he re-sawed each person into six pieces, assembled them back as they were, and covered them with a red cloth to emit smoke.

After uncovering the red cloth, the seven apprentices jumped out of the glass box vigorously, with no abnormalities in their bodies.

It wasn't until the theater lights came on and Zhang Tianqi took his seven apprentices to the curtain call to leave the stage that the audience was dazzled by surprise and dazzled, and were about to stand up and applaud, when in the huge theater, suddenly There was a sharp scream: "Ah, Renfeng, what's wrong with you? It's not good, I killed someone—"

Everyone was startled by the sudden piercing scream.

Feng Kun heard the voice was somewhat familiar, turned his head hastily, and saw Ning Yi who was sitting not far away was throwing herself on her husband Miao Renfeng, crying and screaming.

He hurried over to take a look, but he couldn't help gasping for breath—I saw Miao Renfeng sitting on the seat, at first glance, he seemed to be engrossed in enjoying the show, but on closer inspection, there was a sharp knife It passed through the gap in the back of the chair, and pierced his body from back to front.

Blood dripped down the seat, staining the ground red.

The security guards in the theater were vigilant. As soon as they saw a murder case, they immediately used the walkie-talkie to tell the security guards to close the gate and not let anyone in or out. Then they comforted the frightened audience and told everyone to sit in their seats and not move around. , took out his cell phone and called the police.

Five minutes later, Fan Zetian, head of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, led a team to the theater.

According to the preliminary examination by the accompanying forensic doctor, the murder weapon was a one-foot-long sharp knife, which pierced Miao Renfeng's heart from behind, resulting in his death on the spot.

The police immediately launched an investigation on the scene.

On Miao Renfeng's left seat was his son Miao Jian, and on the right was his wife Ning Yi. Behind was a corridor nearly one meter wide.

Judging from the angle of penetration of the murder weapon, the murderer should have committed the crime from behind.

However, according to the audience in the row behind the corridor, it was dark in the theater, and people were coming and going in the corridor, and they didn't notice any abnormalities at all.

According to Ning Yi, after the last magic show, her husband got up to go to the toilet. As soon as he came back and sat down, the performance of "Human Puzzle" started.

As soon as Zhang Tianqi's magic was over, when the lights came on, she discovered that her husband had been killed.
