"It's not up to you to investigate whether there is a mistake.""
Now, please cooperate with us if you don't want to be arrested."
Interrupting Barnum's excuse with the same expressionless face, Detective Zhou glanced at the tent behind the circus leader, heard the continuous exclamations and applause from inside, and said with a cold face."
Am I likely to take this as a threat to me, officer?"
Hearing Agent Zhou's words, the expression under the top hat of Barnum, the head of the circus, became more and more gloomy.Noticing the change in the expression on Barnum's face, the lobster man on the side involuntarily trembled his body."
No, I'm just stating the facts."
However, when Barnum's eyes met, the expression on Agent Zhou's face did not change in the slightest, and his arm still did not move and approached the pistol on his waist.With a gloomy face, he was silent for a long time at Amanda and the others.Barnum retracted his gaze at this time, gritted the sharp teeth in his mouth and said: "Since the police officers want to investigate, then as a law-abiding citizen, I, naturally, raise my hands and feet to show cooperation, but at the moment our circus performance is still going on, and the entire circus is full of guests who come to see the performance, even if the investigation is over, it must wait until the circus performance is over before it can be carried out" As the head of the circus, Barnum must abide by the rules of the circus and cannot easily end the circus performance.This is a rule set by the circus, and even Barnum, as the head of the circus, cannot break it.Hearing Barnum's reasoning, Amanda and Agent Zhou glanced at each other.From previous investigations, they already know that many residents of small towns come here to watch the circus today.In such a crowded situation, it is indeed not suitable to start an investigation immediately, because in the event of any dangerous situation, these circus spectators are likely to be implicated.Therefore, the request made by Barnum, the head of the circus, was heard.Amanda only hesitated a little before she had to agree."
Zhou, you and Phil, and Spike are here to keep an eye on the show."
Of course, although she promised to wait until the circus was over to investigate, Amanda was not completely defenseless.Agent Zhou, Agent Phil, and Spike were placed at the circus to prevent this from happening.Agent Zhou and Agent Phil deal with ordinary problems, and Spike is naturally designed to deal with special situations."
Angela, you're in a group with me.""
Yes, sir."
Hearing that she and Amanda were in a group, Angela's face couldn't help but show a little excitement.But Amanda looked at Barnum in front of her, and asked word by word: "I think there should be no problem in investigating the members of the circus, Captain Barnum." ”In the face of Amanda's request, the expression of the top hat under Barnum twitched for a moment, and then he pinched his nose and said, "Of course, there is no problem, as long as you don't affect the circus performance." ”"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen a circus performance live."
The team divided into two groups and conducted an investigation inside the circus tent.The agent entered the audience on Wednesday, found a few empty seats, and watched the center of the stage as General Thumb dressed as Napoleon and riding an equally short dwarf horse, posing in the classic portrait.Agent Phil, who was sitting next to Agent Zhou, couldn't help but whisper."
We're not really here to see a circus show."
Hearing Agent Phil's confession, Agent Zhou continued to maintain his expressionless appearance.He sat in the bustling auditorium, listening to the constant noisy cheers and applause around him, but his brow furrowed involuntarily, and he reached out to grab his arm.From the moment he entered the circus tent, he began to feel the stinging pain of his infected arm, as if some invisible force was constantly affecting the arm that should have been woodened and completely painless."
Of course I know what our goal is."
In the face of Agent Zhou's reminder, although Detective Phil said, his eyes were once again attracted by the two-headed sister who appeared in the center of the stage, looking at the dancing posture of this deformed sister, Detective Phil involuntarily raised his palm and gave warm applause."
However, in the current situation, there are so many people on the scene, even if they want to start an investigation, they need to wait until they all disperse."
As he spoke, Agent Phil turned his head to look at Agent Zhou beside him.Immediately afterward, his gaze suddenly became confused, poked his head to look at the seat next to Agent Zhou, and said strangely, "Where's Spike?"
”Hearing Agent Phil's words, Agent Zhou hurriedly turned his head to look at the seat on the side.However, at least one empty spot came into view."
He's just been here.""
Hello, I'm Agent Amanda from BSI, and this is Agent Angela's circus, backstage.Amanda and Angela entered the room, and were a little dazzled by the busy scenes backstage and the various strange-looking deformed people.After observing these deformed people for a long time, Amanda chose a deformed person who seemed to have finished the circus performance, and stepped forward to introduce herself."
We have some questions about the circus and would like to ask you, ma'am.""
Ma'am?"
Hearing Amanda's voice, Hu Zi turned his head to look at the two BSI agents, especially when he heard Amanda call herself, Hu Zi showed a self-deprecating smile under her face covered by a thick beard: "I haven't heard this name for a long time." ”Shaking her head and reining in her expression under her beard, Hu Zi looked at Amanda in front of her: "Say, what do you want to know?"
”"What shall I call you?"
From the attitude of the bearded children, Amanda sensed a breakthrough, at least her reaction did not shirk like the lobster man she had met at the door of the tent before, and immediately continued."
You can just call me Hu Zizi, that's what the whole circus calls me.""
That's disrespectful."
Hearing Hu Zizi say her name, Angela on the side couldn't help frowning, as a woman, she naturally knew that Hu Zi's name was not a name at all, just a nickname."
Respect, the circus doesn't have that.""
We are all objects in the circus, and only special people can survive in the circus."
