"Ha~"

In just five minutes, Roy didn't know how many yawns he had. Just fall in love with WwW. LＷＸＳ５２０。 ＣＯＭ

Barbara looked at him with some complaint, and he waved his hand helplessly: "Don't blame me, who made this thing so boring?" ”

At this moment, the two were sitting in a huge stadium of a magic troupe, sitting in the audience between hundreds of spectators. The whole stadium is set off by music, and a magic show is taking place on the stage surrounded by lights.

This performance can be regarded as a big pomp. The head of the Magic Troupe took the stage himself, and the performance project was their signature escape technique. A beautiful assistant will be tied hand and foot with a strip of cloth and put in a closed container, and the head of the regiment will cut the container with a chainsaw, and everyone will see the gorgeous performance of the beautiful assistant to stimulate the escape at the last moment.

Of course, this kind of performance should be arranged from the beginning, and there will be no real danger, just the atmosphere.

It's been a month since the chaos in Arkham. The mysterious bandage man seemed to have died down for the time being, wondering if he was replanning something. But for the time being, it was calm, and Roy agreed to Barbara to take a night off to do something other than work.

Seeing Barbara being infected by the crowd and excited about the performance, Roy felt very incomprehensible. What's so exciting about this kind of performance? He was confident that he only needed to pay a little attention. He will be able to see through where the real mechanism of the so-called "escape technique" is.

Barbara complained, "You've said you can do it anywhere." You don't pick an interesting project for yourself. So isn't it okay for me to do whatever I choose? ”

Roy yawned again, leaned against the armrest with one hand on his cheek, and waved weakly with the other, counting as a response.

The performance went just as expected. The two of them were seated quite far back, and many details on the stage were not clear, but it did not affect the general appreciation of the performance.

When the huge wooden box is pushed out. The blonde slender beauty has been locked inside. The dry-skinned leader of the Magic Regiment wears a black tuxedo. Dangling a rather ridiculous black "wand", it dangled around the wooden box, pretending to be casting a spell.

The automatic chainsaw made a screeching sound as it turned inch, and it approached the wooden box inch by inch. The hearts of the audience rose to the sound of a roaring chainsaw, as if they would see sawdust splattering with blood in the next moment.

At this time, Roy, who was yawning weakly, suddenly cheered up, and his eyelids, which seemed to be about to fight, instantly opened.

"Hey, Xiaoba, do you smell anything?" Roy asked.

Barbara looked at him strangely, "No...... No, I don't. ”

Roy frowned. Sniffed carefully and said, "No, I must have smelled ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the entire empty building was instantly alarmed by the sound of a shrill siren. Relentless flames burst out of the background. It was as if the demon had devoured the curtain on the stage in an instant, marching towards the ceiling. Out of nowhere, the flames sparkled onto the floor of the stage, burning and spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, expanding their territory.

The crowd exploded. The audience got up one after another, lest they slower half a beat towards the exit, and the scene was like a river bursting its banks. The noise of the crowd drowned out the cries for help on stage.

Without saying a word, Roy jumped down from the seat in front of him, and said to Barbara without looking back, "Follow the crowd out!" ”

However, Barbara is clearly not going to be honest and obedient. Immediately following him, he also jumped down from the seat in front of him.

The chainsaw on the wooden box has been turned off, but the people in the wooden box still don't move at all, and they don't even have the slightest reaction to struggle.

Roy leapt onto the stage, jumped to the edge of the crate, grabbed the outside of the crate with one hand, and tore open the lid that appeared to be nailed with brute arms.

When he opened the box, he immediately realized that the lid was not nailed as it seemed. The nails themselves are loose, and they can be easily removed by leaving a mechanism from the inside.

However, the premise is that the people inside still have the strength to do it.

Roy picked up the blonde woman lying in the container, and in an instant he realized that it was too late—the woman had stopped breathing.

Her face was extremely ugly, and her once beautiful face now looked hideous and terrifying, and there were many symptoms that could indicate that she had died of breathlessness.

This should come as no surprise – many people think that those killed in a fire should be burned to death, when in fact most are choked to death by smoke. It is not surprising that the lady is choking to death here.

The strange part is that it has only been a little more than a minute since Roy smelled the smoke, which is not enough for the smoke to invade the airtight container and choke the large living people inside alive.

It was a question that popped into Roy's mind at the first sight of the corpse, but he didn't have time to dwell on it at the moment. He immediately picked up the corpse and rushed towards the exit at a speed of 100 meters.

Although she was dead, the corpse could probably explain the true cause of her death - Roy believed it couldn't have been as simple as being smoked to death. However, if she was allowed to be thrown into the flames and consumed, some important evidence might also be consumed by the flames.

A few minutes later, Director Gordon personally led the team to the scene.

As every father does, Jim Gordon hugged his daughter tightly: "I heard you were inside, are you okay?" Not hurt? ”

Barbara nodded: "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine." ”

Gordon let her go for the time being, and got into the working state: "How's it going?" ”

"Roy and I already have a general understanding of the situation." Barbara explained, "The deceased's name was Katie Rivers, and she had been a magician's assistant for a long time. At the time of the incident, the classic escape magic was being performed on stage, and the head of the troupe, Ivar Loxis, was in charge of it himself. On the surface, it seems that he failed to escape from the box in time when the fire broke out, and then was choked to death in the container. The cause of the fire has not yet been clarified."

"On the surface." Gordon helped his glasses, "Let me guess, your boyfriend thinks something else?" ”

Barbara was a little embarrassed, but nodded anyway, "Yes." Roy arrived on stage within a minute of the fire and opened the wooden box, which should theoretically not be enough time to choke Ms. Rivers to death. We may have to wait for the autopsy results to determine the exact cause. ”

At this point, Roy quickly walked out of the backstage where he had just been fired, and said to Gordon, "I'm glad you're here, Director Gordon." I'm sure I've just identified the cause of the fire, would you like to hear my speculation? ”

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )>
