A few days ago, when Detective Roque was invited by the Countess to watch an opera at the National Theater, he met a new friend in the entertainment industry.
The original purpose of this new friend's conversation with Detective Rock was actually to find out the gossip about the singer who was involved in the case he was involved in.
This friend from the entertainment industry is the editor-in-chief of a newspaper.
Their newspaper is unique among various gossip tabloids because their news is wide and wide-ranging, and their domestic and foreign performing arts information is basically first-hand.
After listening to Detective Rock's description of the case he was involved in, the editor was very satisfied.
Then he provided the detective with a lot of art-related information.
I also sincerely invite Detective Rock to go see the circus with me.
"This circus is amazing. It was the leading circus performing group in our country at the time."
"If they hadn't been inexplicably involved in some case, dragged by the police, and always felt that they were the main murderers of this case, I don't think these circus people would have hurriedly packed their luggage and ran abroad.
Avoiding disaster."
"This country is really unfriendly to entertainers."
Also, for the nobles, dancers, singers and jugglers, if they do not have a serious status, are actually untouchables engaged in inferior professions.
Their status is not even as high as that of farmers working outside the city.
"It's good now. The limelight has passed, no one cares anymore, and the case of that button has been closed. He said that he can finally return to the motherland again and give us all a more exciting performance."
The editor-in-chief is also an avid circus fan.
"I just don't know why, but they didn't choose the capital as their first stop."
"But it doesn't matter. I can take a carriage to a nearby city to watch."
"After all, that city is only a few dozen kilometers away from our capital."
Going to a manor in the countryside is almost the same journey.
At that time, Detective Rock only remembered this conversation as some idle chatter.
But when he took over the case and looked through the files, the name of the circus appeared too frequently, and this memory was brought back to him.
Well, whether this case has anything to do with the circus or not.
They all need to go to Linshi.
Unlike the political, economic and cultural center of the capital, Stark is equivalent to the acropolis of the capital.
Some of the products, daily necessities, and some heavy industry factories needed by the citizens are almost all built in Stark City.
There are three or four trains every day from the capital to Stark, and then back from Stark.
Thick black smoke billowed out from Stark's towering iron chimney.
As soon as they got off the train, Detective Rock and Mai Fan frowned.
The air here smells of sulfur.
Their throats felt itchy subconsciously.
Thanks to their preparations in advance, they put two face towels on their mouths and noses respectively.
This immediately differentiates locals from outsiders.
The people living and living in Star City have already adapted to the air and environment here.
Gu Zhi
Women in a hurry will wear special masks, but local people are in this environment. They laugh naturally and run normally without being affected at all.
The two of them asked where the circus was staying without asking much.
It is impossible for a circus with so many people to stay in hotels in the city.
They camped on the wasteland next to Stark City Wall and stayed there for at least three days.
As for the circus performance, it hasn't officially started yet.
It is said that these few days are the early stages of circus owners renting venues and distributing flyers for publicity.
Even though these circuses have only been here for three days, the citizens of Stark City have already had high expectations for this performance.
Circus-related posters can be seen everywhere on the streets and alleys.
Headshots are scurrying around the streets, and there is bound to be a thin circus coupon tucked under every newspaper.
In the nearest shops, the most talked about thing among mobile vendors is that they are looking forward to the new circus show.
The whole city seemed to be beaming with joy because of the arrival of the circus.
This doesn't even require Mai Fan and the others to go out of their way to find traces of the circus. They just need to stay in a small hotel near the circus camping ground.
The official performance time of the circus is estimated to be one week later.
This period of time happened to be the best time for them to visit and learn about the circus.
Time waits for no one, so act quickly.
This kind of circus is the best to visit.
Because their camp is like an open-air tent, it is public and open, and anyone can pass by the circus.
Early the next morning, Mai Fan saw this scene when he came out of the small hotel. The wasteland around the circus was now bustling and lively, with many small traders gathering in the open space.
You must know that in such a large circus, there are hundreds of people, from the performers to the support staff responsible for announcing the curtain and serving the animals.
Not to mention, behind these large layers, there are large and small animals in a cage that require a large amount of supplies.
Here, itinerant traders can make a lot of money.
It's much better than them going to the city and walking around the streets to earn three melons and two dates.
Not to mention that the pillars of the circus, those beautiful dancers, set up a shed on the wasteland, which can be regarded as their dressing room.
Every day there are singing and dancing here, it's so lively.
And because of these unique beauties, many young men from wealthy families in the city came here specially to please these beautiful dancing girls with large bouquets of flowers and gifts, and had a short and exciting love affair with them, in the circus.
After leaving this city, this passion will disappear and there will be no responsibility.
How could they miss such a good thing?
Because of their participation, the place became more lively.
Therefore, people like Mai Fan and Detective Roque who came up to talk actively did not attract the attention of the people around them at all.
Isn't it normal for travelers from other places to be interested in life in the circus?
What's more, they also revealed their identities. They were circus enthusiasts introduced by friends in the capital city.
With the tabloid editor's name on the newspaper, these circus employees easily believed their words.
