Conan's grammatical investigator

"Ok?"

I thought I would be praised, but I didn't expect that Conan, who criticized and condoned crimes, was dumbfounded.

Dr. A Li also came over with the young detective team at this time, and asked what happened to the yellow-haired children who ran away just now.

"It's nothing, I'm having a friendly exchange with the young people in the small town."

"So that's it, I thought something tricky happened."

"Dr. A Li, are you here to see the circus performance?"

"Yeah, my friend gave me a few tickets, and I happened to take the kids to see it."

Dr. A Li took out a few tickets from his pocket, five of which were children's tickets and one adult ticket, which happened to match the number of people, and even Huiyuan Ai, who was in a good mood, could accurately cover them.

Doctor, I suspect that the friend you're talking about is yourself.

"Just right, I have a ticket here too, let's go together."

Qin Zhibo took out the free tickets for the young people in the small town, checked the tickets together with everyone and entered the theater.

Thinking that Minase Harumi should have never seen this kind of performance, Qin Zhibo went to the toilet to pour out Minase Harumi again, and went to the performance hall one by one.

Entering the performance hall, almost all the seats are filled with audience, and there are no good seats.

There is no way, a total of seven people and one ghost can only find seats in the last few rows and sit down, as long as they can watch the show.

After waiting for a while, the lights on the scene were turned off, leaving only the spotlight on the stage, announcing the official start of the show.

The first opening was a clown performance, which made the audience laugh with funny moves, and heated up the scene first.

"Haha~ I really laughed to death!" Harumi Minase screamed.

Then came various talent shows, trapeze, fire show, and an elegant music performance from time to time.

And the finale of these skills performances is the turntable flying knife, which is the kind performed by Master Xing in "The Variety Star".

Although the young lady in the tutu was very eye-catching, what Qin Zhibo noticed was the actor performing the knife-throwing performance, a scar-faced man with thick paint on his face.

If ordinary viewers don't pay attention, they will think that those amazing scars are special effects makeup, deliberately cosplaying a ruthless character, but in fact they are real scars.

One of the scariest scars runs from the upper left forehead to the corner of the mouth on the right face. It is hard to imagine what he has gone through.

A beautiful young lady was tied to a frisbee in the shape of "big", and then the scar-faced man started throwing knives.

Bang, Bang, Bang
Accompanied by the performance-like screams of the young lady, the scar-faced man threw all 10 throwing knives within 7 seconds. Each knife staggered to key parts of the body, sandwiching the young lady's slender figure between the flying knives.

In an instant, there was thunderous applause.

Next, the performance was upgraded, and the turntable tied to the young lady finally came in handy.

The other two girls turned the turntable, and the pink and white body on the turntable began to spin, which dazzled the audience, not to mention that the flying knife could not fly.

All the audience knew the content of the next performance, but they still raised their hearts to their throats and stared with bated breath.

The scar-faced man still maintained a cold expression, pinching the throwing knife with his thumb and index finger, as if he was aiming.

The rhythmic drumbeat sounded, and the stage lights kept changing. Every time the drumbeat turned into a shocking big drum, the scarface man threw the throwing knife in his hand. The rhythm was about 2.5 seconds every time, and he threw a total of 5 times.

When the turntable stopped, the young lady on the turntable was still alive, with five flying knives on both sides of her head, under the joints of her arms, and between her legs.

The music changed into a cheerful tune, and the audience applauded generously.

"It's so exciting!" Harumi Minase screamed.

"Wow! It's amazing!"

"I was really scared to death just now, I was so worried that something would happen."

Ayumi is more innocent and kind, and doesn't completely regard this as a performance, and even worries that something will happen to the actress on the turntable.

Hui Yuanai, who was sitting next to him, explained in a serious tone: "Their performances have been trained for a long time, and they almost never make mistakes."

"Even if they made a mistake, they should have already been mentally prepared, because once they set foot on some roads, they are doomed to be unable to escape the result of death."

When Harumi Minase heard this, she looked curiously at Haibara Ai, this little sister with a personality that she had never seen before.

hello
After listening to the speech of the heroine of the "healing department", Conan, who was so bored beside him with his chin resting on his head, glanced at Hui Yuanai with drooping eyelids.

In order to prevent Haibara's dangerous speech from spoiling the future flowers of the motherland, Conan, who had been uninterested, took the initiative to explain the principle of the performance just now.

"In fact, the flying knife performance is not that dangerous. In the beginning of the performance, the turntable was still, and the actors threw the flying knife continuously in a quiet environment, just to leave the impression in the audience's head that the flying knife was thrown from the hand. .”

"Then the turntable turns, and the throwing knife actor only needs to pretend to throw the throwing knife. In fact, he just hides the throwing knife in his sleeve, and the actor next to the turntable will control the fake throwing knife to pop out from under the turntable."

Conan explained these boringly, because he has seen too many such performances based on his life experience of the rich second generation.

If it wasn't for his identity as a primary school student, he wouldn't have come to watch such a boring performance.

Although Conan explained, Mitsuhiko still felt that something was wrong, "But if the throwing knife is not thrown, wouldn't the audience who are closer see it?"

"No, because during the second performance, the lighting suddenly changed, which affected the sight of the audience in front. And the sound is also the same. The drumbeat is used to cover up the sound of the flying knife not hitting the target."

"This kind of performance is like this, it's nothing to watch."

Conan performed a throwing knife show to reveal the secret, and the audience in the front row who accidentally heard the answer turned around and glanced contemptuously.

Where did the self-righteous primary school students come from?
Hui Yuanai next to him still insisted on his point of view, "But even if the first part of the performance is wrong, the actor is likely to be injured or die, isn't it?"

Conan: You are enough
Qin Zhibo, who was sitting at the farthest side, had been listening to "A few children arguing swords", and felt that Hui Yuanai's words were more reasonable.

In fact, when watching the flying knife show just now, Qin Zhibo had been watching it very seriously.Because of the presence of Conan, the Shinigami elementary school student, performances of this nature had to be guarded against.

So during the second stage of the knife throwing performance, Qin Zhibo carefully observed the scarfaced man's throwing knife with a telescope, and he actually threw it, not hiding it in his sleeve.

As for whether the flying knife landed on the turntable or somewhere else, it was really hard to see clearly because of the flickering lights.

However, Minase Harumi can float in the air, so he should be able to fly to the stage to see the situation clearly.

Qin Zhibo raised his eyes and looked at Minase Harumi, she was watching the performance with relish, so he didn't bother him.

After the human performance, the next step is the animal performance of the circus signature.

The stage was changed to a tropical jungle setting, and various animals appeared in turn.

Elephants playing gymnastics, equestrian shows, monkeys riding bicycles, in short, as long as animals do what they don't need to do, they will get applause from humans and a small reward from animal trainers. It is really forced to operate.

The most outrageous thing is that there are actually giant panda performances, black and white four-legged beasts, also known as "iron-eating beasts" and "prison-bottomed beasts".

"Wow! This is called a giant panda, right? It's actually real!" Harumo Minase screamed.

When the three pandas climbed onto the big leather ball and kept standing upright, Qin Zhibo saw the black zipper between the crotches of the pandas.

panda?

Pandaren, huh?
Although there was a slight flaw in the props, no one noticed this flaw, and Minase Harumi also lay down on Conan's head to watch with relish.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo stopped doing ignorant things, after all, he didn't come to crack down on counterfeiting.

Only Conan still drooped his face, with the word "boring" written on his face, and at the same time felt that his head seemed a little heavy today.

A large number of animals have finished their business one by one. Accompanied by a piece of surging music, today's finale performance is the lion.

In order not to awaken the hunting habits of carnivores, circuses perform carnivores and herbivores separately.

Three lionesses appeared on the stage, sitting on the round platform respectively, while the only male lion lay lazily on the platform behind.

This lion is different from the African steppe lion shown in the animal world. It has white hair and is so rare that even Conan couldn't help watching it seriously.

A ring of fire was erected in the center of the stage, and as the young lady taming the whip made a whipping sound, the memory carved into the muscles made the white lion jump over the ring of fire, the flames blackened a small amount of white hair, and he still did not forget to look around. Circle the curtain call to the audience.

This time, the applause of the audience reached its climax.

Although Qin Zhibo doesn't know how to tame animals, animals are instinctively afraid of flames, and it took a lot of effort to make animals approach the flames actively.

After all the performances were over, the disappointed Qin Zhibo and Dr. A Li walked out of the performance hall with a few puppies, and found Hawker's Wonderful Circus peripheral products on sale in the hall store.

Most of the dazzling surroundings are animal-image ornaments, coasters, ashtrays, etc. Because Japan is a big country with surrounding areas, many viewers choose to join in for the second time.

Ayumi and Haibara each bought a mobile phone pendant with a white lion, although they don't seem to have a mobile phone at present.

"So cute~ I want this too!"

"Buy me one too~Qiuli Paste!"

Harumo Minase continued to scream in his ears, which made Qin Zhibo a little irritable.

You are a ghost!I can't use this thing.

And what do you want with such a child's thing!
But under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Zhibo couldn't reason with Minase Harumo, so he could only brazenly ask the shopkeeper to buy a pendant of the same style as the white lion Leon.

"Uncle Qin, do you also think this lion is cute?" Ayumi leaned over and asked.

".ah yes"

Seeing that Qin Zhibo in front of the counter actually favored such children's toys, Conan was surprised.

Haibara Ai walked to Conan's side, with a mysterious smile on his face, and teased: "Are you thinking that even he would be interested in this kind of thing?"

"Let me tell you, he is not like you. He only reads bloody detective novels every day. This should be where he surpasses you."

"I want you cock~"

Conan replied feebly, but after Haibara Ai said this, he felt a little eager to try.

Speaking of which, Qin Zhibo does seem to have a collection of small items, such as the dense badge in his wallet, the handkerchief he lent him, the 100 yen coin he lost to him, and the metal disc he gave to Mao Lilan before.

Could this be the trick to becoming a famous detective like him?

On Qin Zhibo's side, just as he was taking out his wallet to pay, a sight behind him suddenly stimulated Qin Zhibo's sixth sense.

As a former FBI, he has a strong perception of the line of sight behind him. This ability is true metaphysics. To put it bluntly, it is called paranoia, but it usually works.

Qin Zhibo calmly picked up the small mirrors sold on the counter, pretending to check the products, but actually looked behind him through the mirror.

The hall behind was crowded with people, but at the corner of the corridor, Qin Zhibo found that the scar-faced man who had performed the knife-throwing performance just now was observing him secretly while wearing large sunglasses.

When he noticed that Qin Zhibo was picking up the mirror, the scar-faced man also turned around and left calmly.

Qin Zhibo put down the mirror, feeling a little puzzled.

Did they already know that I was sent by the Nine Angels organization to monitor them?
Qin Zhibo did not forget his mission this time, and watched the show with Conan, and also felt that if Conan could trigger the case, he would be able to meet the legendary "Randy Hawk" in a fair and just manner.

But I didn't expect Conan to be more "conscience" this time, and he didn't commit any more crimes.

Right now, I can only pretend to be an ordinary audience and leave the theater, and then find other opportunities to get closer.

Walking out of the theater gate, in order to save magic power, Qin Zhibo quietly put Minase Harumi back into the glass bottle.

But as soon as they walked to the open space outside, the commotion of the crowd attracted the attention of the young detective team.

A group of journalist-like people surrounded an elderly middle-aged foreigner, chattering and asking various questions.

"Mr. Hawk, how long are you going to stay in Japan this time?"

"Mr. Hawke, I heard that you donated half of the circus revenue to the zoo. Is this true?"

"Mr Hawke."

Yuan Tai asked what the identity of this person was inexplicably, and Dr. A Li also patiently explained.

"Oh, he is the funder of this circus, Mr. Randy Hawke."

"He is from Oklahoma in the southern United States. He made a lot of money after mining oil. Collecting animals was only his hobby at first, but gradually more and more animals appeared, and he toured around the world and performed with animals. stunts to please everyone."

"The brochure for the circus has his picture on the last page."

Ayumi took out the handbook that Dr. Ari got from his "friend", and on the last page there was Randy Hawk's biography.

However, this is quite different from the information Qin Zhibo got from the Nine Angels. It said that he formed the circus because his two sons and daughters also love animals, but in fact his sons and daughters died long ago.

"I heard that Randy Hawk's ancestors were cowboys, so he doesn't need to bring bodyguards wherever he goes, and there is nothing he can do if he is surrounded by reporters," Dr. A Li complained lightly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Qin Zhibo, who was staring at "Mr. Hawk" in the crowd, spoke.

"This man is not Randy Hawke."
