The notice letter actually appeared in New Rose City one step ahead of Circus Sunshine?
Ma Wei was also a little surprised by this information, but he quickly calmed down and thought: "Maybe this is just a cover-up. The Rose Phantom Thief can come to New Ross City first and send a warning letter, right?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. The notice stated that the Rose Phantom Thief will go to Baron Bill's house at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow and steal a ruby called the Blood Rose. This is Baron Bill's family heirloom and is worth a lot of money."
Circus Sunshine will arrive in New Ross City on Monday, that is, tomorrow morning, and the performance will start at 7 o'clock that night. It will last for half a month, with each performance lasting three hours.
"If the Rose Thief is a member of the circus, how can he go to Baron Bill's house and steal the blood rose while performing?" Fat Orange frowned and said, "Although Baron Bill lives on Ross Avenue, he can't see it.
After receiving the notice letter, we must set up a dragnet, no matter how powerful the Rose Phantom Thief is, it will take a lot of time to steal the gems!"
"If there is any mistake in the process, wouldn't it be a direct mistake?"
"Well, you suspect that the Rose Phantom Thief is not a member of Circus Sunshine?"
"Perhaps Circus Sunshine is the cover-up he set up. When everyone thinks that the Rose Phantom Thief is a member of the circus, their attention will be distracted and their judgments will be wrong. Doesn't this just provide him with an excellent way to start?
Chance?"
Fat Orange's reasoning is remarkable. Through the information in the newspaper, Ma Wei believes that the Rose Thief is related to Cirque Sunshine. But now that the notice letter has arrived, he has to doubt whether his previous deduction is correct.
This is a psychological game. No one is sure what the Rose Phantom Thief will do. He may be a member of the circus, or he may simply use the circus to cover himself. If he makes a mistake in judgment, he will surely fall into the trap.
In his trap.
The odds are 50-50.
It’s simply gambling!
"How cunning."
Ma Wei said with emotion: "He forced others to focus on Circus Sunshine. This was the only clue he leaked, and we couldn't determine his identity at all, so we had to bite the bullet and take the bait."
"He was so conceited that he gave us one night to observe and think. How arrogant!"
The meat claws slapped him down hard, and Fat Orange said angrily: "We must catch him!"
"Don't be angry. Anger will affect your judgment, and that will play into his hands."
Tapping his temples with his index finger, Ma Wei pondered for a moment and said: "We should proceed according to the original plan. He gave us one night just because he wanted us to watch the show and know the order of the show. Arrogance is a bit arrogant,
But he seems to be looking forward to a fair showdown."
"Dad, what if he doesn't act in accordance with the warning letter?"
Yunia, who had been listening to the conversation between Ma Wei and Fat Orange, asked: "If we do it tonight, wouldn't we be able to catch everyone off guard?"
"A person like him who is extremely proud will not take the initiative to break the rules of the game he has set."
Ma Wei shook his head: "A typical performing personality can shine on a grand stage or dance alone in a dark cabin. This kind of person has an extremely rich inner world and pursues the ultimate excitement.
At the moment, I have my own set of rules of conduct."
"Isn't this kind of person difficult to deal with?"
"No, just the opposite." Ma Wei grinned: "Performing personality is the easiest to figure out. If you set up a stage on the street and leave it there, he will jump up and jump a few times, knowing that there is danger.
But I still can't help but dig in, just like a stupid roe deer."
"What is a silly roe deer?"
"You can refer to Xiao Hei for details. It looks like a silly roe deer."
"Meow meow meow?"
For no reason, Xiao Hei felt like he was offended.
"Holmes is on his way to the church."
The second short-tailed cat brought new news. After listening to its report, Fat Orange immediately said: "He will be here soon."
"Holmes?"
Ma Wei was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I understand."
15 minutes ago, Baron Bill's residence, No. 13 Ross Avenue.
"Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes!"
In the living room covered with soft wool carpets, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo walked around anxiously, confused and confused: "Quickly think of a solution! The Rose Phantom Thief is coming the day after tomorrow! Blood Rose
It was passed down from my grandfather’s generation and is a symbol of the family. It must not be stolen!”
Holmes was sitting on the sofa, holding a pipe in his mouth, and said calmly: "Baron Bill, please don't be anxious, I'm thinking of a way."
"And you, Inspector MacMillan!"
The middle-aged man turned to look at MacMillan who was standing at the door, and said sternly: "The night after tomorrow, you must bring as many people as possible to guard my safe! Do you understand?"
"Why don't you move the Blood Rose to another safer place?" MacMillan asked doubtfully: "For example, hide it in a secret place that no one knows except you. That way, no matter how powerful the Rose Phantom Thief is,
, it’s impossible for him to succeed!”
"The safe is the safest place!"
Baron Bill shouted: "That's my family heirloom! There are too many people coveting it! If I put it at home, I only have to worry about the Rose Phantom Thief. If I hide it outside, I don't know how many people want to steal it!"
"Isn't it okay to deposit it in the bank? I heard that Ross Bank just changed its vault recently."
"Bank?" Baron Bill became even more angry: "Are you kidding! Wouldn't that just give away the blood rose? When the bank staff steal the gem and put the blame on the rose thief, who can I ask to reason?
?It was stolen at home, at least I can confirm the identity of the prisoner! Huh? Mr. Holmes, why did you stand up suddenly?"
"I want to go out."
Holmes picked up the tall felt hat hanging on the hanger and said calmly: "Be back soon."
"What can be more urgent than the Rose Phantom Thief! He will be here the day after tomorrow!"
"Isn't there still nearly two days left?"
Holmes' face was expressionless, and he didn't seem to be in any hurry: "He has always been punctual and kept his appointments, so you don't have to worry about the safety of Blood Rose before 8 pm the day after tomorrow. Why don't you have a cup of hot tea and calm down."
After saying that, Holmes ignored Baron Bill who was like an ant on a hot pot, walked out of the living room, and said to Macmillan who was following him: "I want to borrow a carriage."
