Ma Liang pondered for a moment.
"When we arrived at the theater, the concert had not yet ended, and we were taken backstage by security. A person in charge received me and indirectly asked me several times, basically trying to find out if Xu Qingquan had done anything?
I said that as far as the case was concerned we couldn't disclose anything, but from what we could tell at the moment, the deceased was just related to Xu Qingquan, basically his girlfriend. We wanted to bring him back quickly for some tests to rule out any suspicion.
When I explained this, he seemed less tense, then nodded his head and walked out. As he closed the door, I heard him call over the intercom to have the cello's understudy take over and to make sure there were no more mistakes in the last piece. He said to have Xu Qingquan step down, as someone was looking for him.
