Before you have gone far, you will see the striking sign of the Circus of the Beasts, the hottest circus in Polnia, which would have crowded the entire neighborhood if it weren't for the wind and snow.

It was originally an ancient Colosseum, belonging to a declining aristocratic territory, and later, in order to mortgage the debt, it was sold, and after many years of circulation, the Colosseum ushered in its new owner, and the Colosseum was transformed into the current Circus of the Wild Beasts.

Jiang Chenchuan originally planned to disguise himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a familiar figure.

"Rena?"

Hearing Jiang Chenchuan's greeting, Rena was also surprised, you said that Pornia is so big, and it was by chance that they met together at this time.

"Ewelly, are you coming to see the show?" Rena looked around, looked at the performance table at the door, and said suspiciously, "But today is not a suspension of the performance......

"Investigate a case, what about you?"

Jiang Chenchuan didn't want to reveal the information of the museum, so he had to tell a small lie.

"We're talking to the heart of the brave, and the seafarers want to see the Beast Circus show......"

Rena's tone was full of helplessness.

"Exactly."

Jiang Chenchuan consciously followed behind Rena, looking like her little follower.

"Do me a little favor and take me inside."

Rena: "......"

As soon as I stepped into the Beast Circus, an indescribable feeling came over me, as if something was here.

Rena was stunned for a moment, a flash of red flashed in front of her eyes, and then, as if a strange filter had been added, the transparent lines floating in the air flew in one direction like a spun yarn.

Jiang Chenchuan first noticed that something was wrong with Rena, and then he also felt some indescribable weirdness, and walked towards the stairs with his intuition, but before he stepped on the steps, he was pulled by Rena.

"Here."

Rena quickly broke free from that strangeness, with a hint of perseverance in her eyes, and pointed out the accurate path to Jiang Chenchuan.

They had a clear goal, and all the way up, the actors who passed by had not yet put on their makeup, staring at the two strangers who broke into the backstage suspiciously, but seeing that their expressions were more serious than the other, no one dared to step forward and ask anything.

So there was almost no hindrance, and she successfully arrived at Kevin Koscolin's door, where all the lines converged, and when Rena wanted to go up and knock on the door, she was stopped by Jiang Chenchuan.

"I'll come, you stand back."

Jiang Chenchuan protected Rena behind him, raised his hand and knocked on the door, the sound insulation of the circus is not very good, if there is any sound, it can be heard at the first time, but they waited for a few seconds, and there was no response in the room, and there was no sound.

The two glanced at each other, both understood the meaning in each other's eyes, Rena stepped back, turned around and stopped the manager who wanted to come forward to question, Jiang Chenchuan took a few steps back to accumulate strength, and as soon as he raised his foot, he directly kicked the door lock that was not very strong and flew out.

The door was only opened a crack, and there was unstoppable blood gushing out, and when the door was completely opened, the terrible scene in the house was completely seen, and even the manager who wanted to drive people away was frightened stupid and stayed in place motionless.

The first thing that spread was not fear, but nausea, and most of the first reaction of people who had never seen such a bloody picture was stomach cramps, followed by tumbling upwards, and Rena couldn't bear it for a while, grabbing the wall and retching.

The whole room seemed to have experienced a bloody storm, every wall was painted with blood to draw alchemy circles, even the back of the door was painted the same, if it was not forcibly destroyed by Jiang Chenchuan, it is estimated that no one would be able to find the body in a few days.

That's right, in the center of the largest and most complex circle in the room, there was a hideous-looking corpse, the whole body completely split from the middle, and the posture was deliberately placed, like a sacrifice in a sacrificial ceremony.

Just now, Rena saw that those illusory lines were also gathered at the corpse, but the victim's face had been destroyed, making it impossible to see his appearance.

"Has anyone ever been in a relationship with Kevin Koskolin? Or, familiarize yourself with his physical features......"

In a place where no one dared to approach, Jiang Chenchuan poked his head out of the door and asked eagerly.

"Be quick."

"What's the matter, Ewell, did you find any clues?" Only Rena, with a pale face, answered his words.

"The talent has just died, and I need to find out the identity of the deceased."

Jiang Chenchuan had observed the scene, he was not familiar with the alchemy circle, but he knew the state of the person when he died, and after a short investigation, he suspected that the deceased was not Kevin Koskolin at all.

"And we're running out of time."

Everything in the room was apparently carefully arranged, and the killer emptied everything he could take, leaving only the candles on the table and the clock on the wall.

Jiang Chenchuan had long noticed that the time of the clock did not rotate normally, but rotated counterclockwise, that is, if there was no misunderstanding, it was a countdown device.

Time-lapse devices, which can be found everywhere in crime, may be to buy time to escape, or perhaps to ...... A sense of ritual.

No one can be sure what will happen inside the circus when the clock goes to zero.

All the clues are quickly deduced in the brain, and before he became a detective, he has been in the role of the commander of the team, he is the brain, the person who controls the overall situation, and everyone's every move should be fully seen.

Standing in front of the corpse again, sniffing the lingering smell of blood in the air, Jiang Chenchuan closed his eyes and the calculation began.

Depending on how much the blood clotted and the temperature dropped today, the exact time of death of the deceased was pushed forward, plus the time taken to set up the scene, combined with the countdown device......

"Tonight at eight o'clock, is something going to happen? For example, performances and the like...... Or is it some kind of big event? ”

Jiang Chenchuan poked his head out again and asked.

The circus manager's mind was blank at first, and after Jiang Chenchuan's reminder, he stumbled and said:

"Tonight? Not...... There was no activity, and because of the snow, the show had been postponed until eight o'clock in the evening two days later. ”

"Two days later?"

So the ultimate goal of the murderer is a big show two days later.

"Let me think about what I can do to satisfy his desire to destroy......

Just as Jiang Chenchuan was thinking, Rena plucked up the courage to come to the door, looking at the chaotic but regular magic circle in the room, showing a surprised expression.

"Summoning the Flames of Hell......"

"What did you say?"

Jiang Chenchuan noticed Rena's whispering, saying something terrible.

"When I was in the noble academy, I was exposed to the study of alchemy, if I remember correctly, this is the summoning circle, summoning the fire of hell, a flame that can never be extinguished by those who are burned, and can only be burned in the flames until death......"
