The actors had already started preparing to go on stage. When Freya arrived, the audience seats were already filled with people. As for Bradley, she had asked him to make arrangements. After all, even if this play was successful, I'm afraid the real culprit behind the scenes wouldn't just give up without a fight. At this time, Bradley's influence was needed to catch the murderer on the spot.
After Yelü Qi, the queen, and the princess consort arrived, the play officially began.
This play was called "Luring the Tiger into the Mountain".
It remained to be seen who among the people present would be the "tiger" who couldn't sit still.
With a snap, the lights on the stage came on.
However, instead of the wonderful play that everyone was expecting, there was the music of "Evil Ghosts Claiming Souls".
As the music played, a thunderclap suddenly split the dark sky, a strong wind blew up, and there was the rustling sound of leaves all around.
What was going on?
All the guests became restless.
Just then, the bright lights suddenly went out, and the scene was plunged into endless darkness, as eerie and terrifying as hell on earth.
With the thrilling music of ghosts seeking revenge, it was like a large-scale horror movie.
"Ah, what's going on?"
"There are ghosts! There are ghosts!"
The audience was filled with the frightened cries of the guests.
Freya was sitting in the middle of the crowd at this time. With a sweep of her eyes, even in the pitch darkness, she could feel the fear of the people present.
However, this was just the beginning.
Freya clapped her hands, signaling Yelü An to prepare the second act of the play.
The lights soon came on again. Suddenly, a white figure appeared from behind the scenes, and then a person pushed an old man out in front of everyone.
As for this old man, everyone was familiar with him. It was Mr. Ouyang, who had been cremated last night.
The person pushing the wheelchair was his secretary.
"What's going on? Mr. Ouyang is dead. Why is he here?"
Could it be that he came back to life?
Fear spread wave after wave, and many of the guests couldn't sit still and were about to leave in a hurry.
Just then, something even more bizarre happened. There was suddenly a ringing sound in the air, and then an empty and cold voice came from above their heads.
The "Mr. Ouyang" who had been on the stage suddenly disappeared. When everyone found him again, he was floating above their heads.
"He came back to life! He came back to life!"
The scene was filled with cries of fear, roars, and the commotion of people running around.
When the "Mr. Ouyang" descended from the air and appeared above everyone's heads, it would elicit a cry from them.
Freya crossed her arms and quietly observed everyone's reactions, which were basically the same.
However, when it came to one person, the person's face only changed slightly. Obviously, this person had no fear of this farce at all.
At this moment, Freya already knew the answer.
This person was the murderer.
Freya whistled, and then Blue Book flashed by and appeared in front of her. "Your Highness, please give your instructions."
Freya pointed at the man standing among the crowd and said, "Catch him!"
"Yes!"
Blue Book led a group of Dark Web elites and moved as fast as ghosts among the crowd.
The man became alert and noticed something was wrong. When Blue Book attacked, he counterattacked.
In the dark, Freya clearly saw that the other party was highly skilled. Facing an expert like Blue Book, he could handle the situation with ease.
However, when the Dark Web elites surrounded him, the other party gradually fell into a disadvantage and stepped back, obviously trying to escape.
Freya squinted her eyes and flashed over to help.
When the other party saw her, a gloomy murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Although it only flashed by, Freya clearly caught it.
At this point, the farce ended.
As the lights came on brightly, Yelü An led a group of people into the scene and soothed everyone's emotions. "Don't be afraid, everyone. This was just a play. The murderer has been revealed. Please retreat to the safe area and don't run around."
As soon as he spoke, the guests gradually calmed down. Under the guidance of the guards, they retreated behind the stage one after another.
Only then did everyone realize that the so-called Mr. Ouyang was actually just an image. It was projected onto the screen in the air, and the image was controlled using computer technology to create the illusion of a corpse coming back to life.
It turned out that everyone had been deceived.
Yelü An smiled. "All of this was the idea of Her Highness of Solterra. After we catch the real murderer, everyone can go home tomorrow."
After saying that, Yelü Qi looked towards the place where the fight was taking place. Freya was deftly dealing with the murderer.
At the same time, Bradley kicked open the door of Yelü Mingshuo's bedroom and led a group of Dark Web subordinates in.
Freya had been assassinated just now and had wounded the person in black on the shoulder. He had followed the trail of blood here.
Unexpectedly, it was Yelü Mingshuo's residence.
When Yelü Mingshuo saw him barging in uninvited, he lay on the bed and shouted angrily at Bradley, "Leonard, you don't take the Yelü royal family seriously at all. How can you just come here as you like?"
Bradley ignored him and directly motioned to Ying. "Search."
The trail of blood disappeared at the door. He suspected that the person in black was hiding nearby.
Seeing that he had brought so many people and they were rummaging through his things everywhere, Yelü Mingshuo became furious and cursed. "What are you doing? This is my bedroom. Get out of here!"
However, everyone ignored him. They only followed the orders of the Dark Master.
Bradley stood there and surveyed the surroundings for a long time but found nothing unusual. He walked closer to Yelü Mingshuo and looked down at him from a height. "Tell me, where is the person hidden?"
Yelü Mingshuo panicked for a moment and said in a trembling voice, "What person? This is my bedroom. Even if there is someone, they are my people."
Hmph...
So, this was an indirect admission that he had something to do with those people?
Bradley didn't want to waste time talking. He grabbed Yelü Mingshuo's collar and said coldly, "A person in black just broke in. Are you going to hand over the person yourself, or should I search?"
"But Prince Yelü should know the consequences. If the person is found by me, you will be an accomplice!"
The intimidating voice, combined with Bradley's inherent majesty, made Yelü Mingshuo extremely nervous.
Out of the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced in a certain direction. When the person in black had been injured and broken in just now, he had let the person hide here. Who knew that he would actually attract Leonard here.
Yelü Mingshuo was very scared. If the person was really found, even if he had ten mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
But who was Leonard? He could turn the dead into the living. Even if he confessed everything now, Leonard wouldn't let him go.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yelü Mingshuo continued to play dumb. "I don't know what you're talking about. It's just me here."
Bradley sneered.
He still dared to be stubborn even when he was on the verge of disaster. Fine, he would search.
No matter what, he would dig three feet into the ground to find this person in black. Then Yelü Mingshuo, who had committed the crime of harboring a criminal, wouldn't be able to escape punishment either.
"Search carefully. Don't miss any corner."
Half of Bradley's body was bathed in the night. The open window let in a gust of wind, lifting up his black trench coat, making him look even more imposing with his kingly demeanor.
Yelü Mingshuo's hands tightly grasped the bed sheet. His entire face turned pale due to nervousness, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.
