The first deceased, whose initials were E, was a married woman. After being strangled, her body was thrown into a freight train car at the railway station. A handkerchief was stuck in her mouth. Luo Mi's remarks: One more kiss.
The four-act opera " Othello " is set in Cyprus in the fifteenth century, when Cyprus had a territorial dispute with Turkey. In the first act, the Cypriot army led by the Moorish Othello severely damaged the Turkish navy. Othello returned from victory and was appointed as the new leader of Cyprus. Lago was jealous of Othello's victory, and resented Othello's appointment of Cassio as naval leader. At Othello's triumphal banquet, Lago gets Cassio drunk, and the former's accomplice succeeds in angering Cassio and causing him to lose his temper. Othello saw this and revoked Cassio's appointment.
In the second act, Lago suggests Cassio's reinstatement through Othello's wife. Lago takes this to hint to Othello that Cassio is having an affair with his wife. Othello, who was suspicious, was indifferent to his wife. The wife asked about the situation. He lied that he had a headache. The wife wrapped her husband's head with a handkerchief embroidered with strawberries given to her. Othello threw the handkerchief away in anger. Lago continued to fan the flames, falsely claiming to have seen Cassio carrying a handkerchief. In the third act, Largo continued to provoke, and the misunderstanding of the Othello couple escalated. In the fourth act, after strangling his wife, Othello finds out that it is all Lago's conspiracy and commits suicide.
The second deceased, whose initials were G, was a retired female botanist who died of mandala poisoning. The last words of the heroine of the opera "Lakme" were hung on the tag of the greenhouse plant at home.
Opera in three acts Lakme"The background is India in the nineteenth century. Because of the British colonists, Indians could only secretly practice their religion. In the first scene, the religious leader leads the believers to the temple to worship, and the daughter and servants who stay at home go to play by the river. While the servants were leaving, the leader's daughter met a British officer, and she went from panicking and calling for help to falling in love at first sight. In the second act, the religious leader asks his daughter to sing in public, in order to lure out the Englishman who disturbed his daughter by the river. The British appeared and escaped after being stabbed by the leader, and the leader's daughter secretly healed him. In the third act, a colleague warns the officer to bear in mind the interests of the country, and the leader's daughter senses the change in the other party's attitude.
The third deceased, whose initials were B, was bound by the killer, built into a wall in the basement of the victim's house, and suffocated to death. When Morse and his boss arrived at the scene, the climax of the opera " Aida " was also playing.
In the first act of the four-act opera "Aida", the Egyptians defeated the Ethiopians and captured a group of prisoners, including the Ethiopian princess Aida, but the Egyptians did not know it. During the battle, Aida and a young Egyptian warrior fell in love with each other, and the warrior was also unrequited by the Egyptian princess. In the second act, the Egyptian princess deceived the warrior Aida and died in battle, and the latter revealed her true feelings while being sad, and the Egyptian princess was burning with jealousy. The warrior triumphed, and the Pharaoh agreed to the warrior's request to pardon the Ethiopian captive, appointed him as his heir, and betrothed his daughter to him.
In the third act, the warrior and Aida meet privately and discuss to escape, but the conversation is overheard by the ambush princess. When the princess appears, the warrior refuses to escape with Aida, and faces the Royal Guard, obediently captures her. Fourth, in the trial court, the warrior was sentenced to be buried alive. Thinking that Aida had escaped safely, the warrior accepted his fate safely. However, when he was pushed into the tomb, he heard the sighs of Aida, who had already lurked there.
At this point, Moss was sorting out the case in the office, thinking that the three murders were all related to the opera. A sentence comes to mind from the initials EGB of the victim's name: Every good boy deserves favors (every good boy deserves favors). This is a mnemonic method used by Westerners when they memorize treble symbols. The seven notes in the central C area of the piano keyboard are Doremi, and the corresponding note name is CDEFGAB. In the sentence "Every good boy deserves favors", the first letter EGBDF of each word corresponds to the five white keys starting in the central C area of the piano keyboard, and it is also the five notes on the five lines of the staff: Mizuoxilaifa. From this, Morse speculated that the murderer planned to murder two people, whose initials were divided into D and F.
Sure enough, the first letter of the fourth deceased was D, a doctor, who was disfigured by acid after being killed. Journalists working with the police received the text of the opera "Snegurochka".
In the first act of the four-act opera " Snegurochka ", Snow Maiden's sweetheart is at odds with others, but the paranoid suitor has difficulty winning her heart. In the second act, the Tsar announces that whoever wins the Snow Maiden's heart will be rewarded by the royal family. In the third act, at the banquet organized by the tsar, Snow Maiden witnessed the oath of her sweetheart and others. In the fourth act, Xue Nv realizes that the suitor is her true love, and the suitor introduces Xue Nv to everyone as her fiancee. Suddenly, the snow girl melted, the suitors threw themselves into the lake, and the locals ushered in a cold winter of fifteen years. The melting of the Snow Maiden in the opera corresponds to the destruction of the doctor's face under the corrosion of strong acid.
The murderer called Moss before the last commit, the person on the other end was silent, but the opera "Tosca" was playing. According to that high-pitched mnemonic, this time the murderer was going to hunt down the person whose first name was F, and according to the plot of "Tosca", Morse concluded that the murderer was going to push the victim from the top floor.
Opera in three acts " Tosca "" takes place in the context of Napoleon's invasion of Italy. In the first act, the former consul of Rome escaped from prison and hid in the church. Under the pursuit of the police, the church painter took the prisoner to escape from the siege. In the second scene, the painter was arrested. The police chief ordered the painter to be tortured in front of the painter's lover and opera singer Tosca. Tosca confessed the whereabouts of the prisoner. Prison breaker commits suicide in the face of pursuit. The painter was sentenced to death, and the police chief promised Tosca that the executioner would be merciful and carry out a false execution. Tosca then stabbed the police chief to death. In the third act, the execution is over and the painter is killed. Tosca realizes the lie of the police chief. At the same time, her murder is revealed. Facing the chasing police, Tosca jumps off the building.
The murderer finally planned to murder Moss' boss Fred Thursday, and successfully led the latter to the roof, but Moss arrived in time and worked with his boss to arrest the murderer.
