His confidence was so high that even Ma Wei felt slightly psychologically uncomfortable.
If possible, Ma Wei really wants to stamp the soles of his shoes on Levin Berger's handsome face!
but.
This kind of duel scene is exactly what the audience likes to see the most. A magician sends a challenge to Derroch Holmes. How can we not make people excited?
5 pence for the ticket. Not a loss!
"Mr. Mavey, please come in."
Levine Berger opened the door of wardrobe A with his own hands: "Don't worry, no one will be injured during this performance."
Ma Wei got into Wardrobe A and leaned against the wall. As the audience watched nervously, Levine Berger closed the door and walked lightly to Wardrobe C. At the beginning, he did not forget to show off to the audience.
Salute gracefully.
"Please enjoy the magic and space travel below."
Boom!
Holmes closed the door, covered the three wardrobes with black cloth in order, then picked up a torch and lit Wardrobe C.
The pure cotton-woven black cloth began to burn as soon as it touched the flame, and the intense heat wave spread instantly. Holmes took a few steps back, with a tense face, listening for any sound under his feet, and looking at the two wardrobes A and B.
The audience was all sweating, looking at Wardrobe C with both excitement and fear.
Ma Wei also smelled smoke, which smelled a bit like burning paper. It was light and not particularly pungent.
In the dark and closed space, he couldn't see his fingers. Darkness came from all directions. Having lost his vision, his hearing was infinitely amplified. It was as if he could hear the crackling sound of cotton fabric and flames intertwined close at hand, as well as his own slight expression.
Breathing heavily.
Here, time seems to be slowed down. He feels that one minute is so long. His thoughts are extremely clear but extremely chaotic. He can't help but recall all kinds of past events, including the loud roars of the crew and the warmth of his parents touching his forehead.
, there is also the form of suffocation with a rope tied around the neck.
He even heard the sound of chains rubbing against each other.
"It turns out that I am also afraid of the dark." Ma Wei murmured.
At this moment, a feeling of dizziness brought him back to reality. The cabinet door opened. Amidst the exclamation, Ma Wei looked around blankly. He walked out of the cabinet and looked at Holmes in front of him. After seeing his complicated expression, he looked back at the cabinet.
Letters on the door.
B!
Shocked, Ma Wei looked at Holmes again, but the other man just shook his head and immediately opened the black cloth of the wardrobe next to him.
Click!
Before he could open the door, Levine Berger, wearing a top hat, took the initiative to jump out, tap dancing and raising his cane high towards the audience.
"This is magic, space travel!"
There was a roar of applause from the audience, almost drowning the stage.
"Mr. Holmes, can you crack the space shuttle magic?"
After enjoying the cheers, Levine Berger walked up to Holmes and asked like a reporter: "Can you please explain the technique I used?"
"I can't crack it," Holmes said frankly: "It's a very magical magic trick."
Levine Berger raised the corner of his mouth, instead of adding insult to injury, he said loudly: "Thank you Mr. Holmes for giving me this face. I know that even if he saw through my tricks, he would not say it in public, but tonight, it is destined to be
The home of our Circus Sunshine! Music!”
The cheerful and sweet music played again, and white doves fell one after another, covering Levin Berger's body. When the acrobat walked out of the curtain, he disappeared again, like a ghost, escaping without warning.
dark.
Returning to his seat, Ma Wei asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Holmes, did you really not see it or were you trying to save face for him?"
"I really don't know."
Holmes took a deep breath: "He has not moved underground, nor has he left Wardrobe C. This is a real space shuttle, not a magic trick achieved through blindness."
With such a close observation, given Holmes's strength, if Levine Berger used any tricks, he would definitely not be able to escape his eyes.
"The stage is complete and there are no hidden compartments underneath."
Holmes said solemnly: "He is by no means an ordinary magician."
"It's magic, like Gilbert Wilkin," said Marvey.
"That's right."
Holmes's expression was not good-looking. Since he came to New Ross City, all kinds of strange things have happened. First, Gilbert Wilkin, and then Levine Berger. The science he was originally proud of suddenly couldn't be used.
Useful for reasoning.
Naturally, there is no way to talk about it.
For a detective, it is extremely difficult to accept that he can find the real murderer but cannot decipher the tactics used by the other party.
It's like you have never quarreled with the other person, but you can't help but beat him up.
Won, but not completely.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the curtain slowly lowered and the performance ended.
Under the guidance of the circus members, the audience began to exit in an orderly manner, and finally.
There were only three people left in the room, Ma Wei, Yunia, and Holmes. Oh, and there was also a cat.
"Nia, was the performance good?"
"nice!"
Yunia licked the remaining chocolate off her fingers: "It would be better if there were more snacks!"
“It’s not good to eat too much sweets”
Ma Wei smiled and looked at Holmes, who was silent beside him: "Do you think he is the Rose Phantom Thief?"
"It's very similar, but I don't have enough evidence."
Holmes raised his head and said: "Everything must be based on evidence. If there is no evidence, even if we arrest him immediately, the police will not be able to convict him."
"It's still unclear whether we can catch him." Ma Wei sneered: "Space travel. This kind of magic is too powerful. It is simply a weapon for escape."
"Would you like to go take a look at their backstage?" Holmes suddenly suggested: "There is more than one person in the circus. If we search for it, we might be able to find some clues."
"Well, I also want to know what's going on inside Circus Sunshine."
After finalizing the plan, Ma Wei and the other three stood up and asked the circus members who were cleaning: "Hello, can we go backstage and have a look?"
"I'm afraid this won't work." The cleaning man looked embarrassed: "The Tiffany manager said that no one can enter the backstage except the staff."
As he spoke, the man suddenly widened his eyes and looked behind Ma Wei and the others:
"Captain! When did you come?"
Ma Wei turned around and met Levine Berger's eyes.
"Just arrived."
He said calmly: "It's none of your business here, just keep working. Liesel has prepared a supper, remember to come and eat it."
"Yes, leader."
The man turned away and continued cleaning.
"Mr. Holmes, Mr. Marvey, and this lovely lady"
Levine Berger asked with a smile: "I just heard you said that you wanted to visit the circus backstage?"
"May I?"
"Of course! Don't listen to Tiffany. She is a cautious and serious woman who always likes to avoid accidents. But if there are no accidents in life, wouldn't surprises be far away?"
Putting the engraved silver cane on his chest and tapping his shoulder twice, Levine Berger said with a smile: "If you don't mind, let me be your guide."
