Chapter 66: A Little Thing
"Bang!"
The dull sound of an object hitting the ground silenced the crowd for a second, and then even louder screams erupted in the square. Some people wanted to move forward to join in the fun, some people wanted to step back and leave, and the crowd began to mess up.
"Suffer!"
Knowing how difficult it was to deal with the chaotic crowd, Grandin immediately stuffed the two children into the carriage. He stood upright on the roof of the car and watched the situation against the crowd.
"I still have a few Sleep Charms in my hand, and the maximum range of activation can cover half of the square. However, if only some people stop, they will be pushed down by the people behind them, and there is a risk of a stampede......"
His abilities are not suitable for this kind of scene.
"What am I going to do?"
Spirituality suddenly tugged at his heartstrings, he followed his own feelings, and his whole person suddenly lost his weight, and the star spirit body floated in the air overlooking the square.
He saw Arthur, with a penny in his hand and standing under a parasol with his mouth wide open. I saw the old knight sitting in the carriage, putting down his gold-rimmed glasses, and silent.
And the panicked crowd with threads growing from their heads, like the roots of a tree. They all end up gathering on Grandin, on the trunk of the tree.
The fates of the crowd have converged!
In a trance, Grandin thought he had become a tree, and the bare trunk began to grow branches. He can let the branches grow freely and can also gently turn its direction.
"Boom!"
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a faint roar of thunder.
The thunder is not loud, but it is shocking. Grandin also withdrew from the overlook. His spirit was shaken by the thunder, and he could barely control his movements.
The thunder became louder and louder, and the people in the square slowly stopped, their eyes confused.
Grandin gathered his spirituality and woke himself up from his state of confusion. His heart was racing, and he had just been almost assimilated by fate!
Thankfully, he was interrupted by a sudden thunderclap.
Controlling the weather simulates thunder, these are the abilities of the 'sailor' pathway.
The Church of the Holy Wind of the Storm Church is in the Jowood District, and it should be the people of the church who have made a move.
The crowd in the square has been pacified.
Grandin gritted his teeth and decided to do what he could. For example, before the punisher takes over, look for the information you need.
With one hand, he jumped off the roof of the car and then weaved through the crowd, quickly running towards the scene of the incident.
During the run, he pinned his Night Watch badge to his collar to avoid accidental injury.
He struggled through the crowd to the middle of the square, where the circus was.
They set up several striped cloth tents, and small flags were displayed on the top of the tents.
But now, too, the circus is in chaos, with lions roaring and tigers roaring and monkeys screaming.
Several female entertainers hugged each other and cried. The clown looked flustered, and the oil paint on his face melted.
After the aerial walk, it was supposed to be their turn to perform on stage, but now everyone is in the audience.
Grandin skipped them and continued to run.
In the open space behind the circus, Jack was lying there, a large mass of blood beneath him, and a smile could be faintly seen on his face.
"Jack committed suicide, out of his own volition."
"Jack committed suicide, out of his own volition."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Grandin quickly lowered the pendulum and performed a divination.
The crystal turns clockwise, indicating affirmation.
He sighed and pulled the canvas from the cage next to him and placed it on Jack.
He didn't try to channel, which would have made him involved with Jack. If the punisher finds him because of this, things will be in trouble.
Grandin returns to the circus again and pulls over a panicked employee:
"Where's your leader?"
"In, in......"
The man was dressed in a brown fur suit, like an animal trainer.
He stammered and tried to answer, but couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time. Finally, he simply raised his hand and pointed to the largest tent.
"Thank you."
Grandin didn't bother to comfort him, and strode over to the tent.
Lifting the tent curtain, the first thing he saw was the performance props scattered all over the ground, and the sound of rummaging through the wooden cubicles on the inside of the tent came from rummaging through the cabinets.
He walked up to the doorknob and grabbed it, only to find it locked.
"Bang!"
The door was broken open with the lock.
"Didn't I tell don't bother me!"
This is supposed to be the circus director's office. Inside there was a long table with an open safe on the table.
There was only one middle-aged man in the room, his top hat comically crooked, and his face was covered with sweat.
He turned his head to the door and scolded, still holding a handful of slull in his hand, stuffing it into his suitcase.
"You...... Who are you! ”
His voice was a little out of tune because of nervousness.
Grandin pursed his lips, pulled out his inspector's card, and shook it in front of him.
"Police?"
The head of the regiment slumped on his chair with a limp.
It's a pity that Grandin didn't go out with handcuffs today, he simply pulled a rope and tied up the circus director.
"I asked, you answered. Do you understand? ”
The regimental commander blinked resignedly, sweat dripping onto his thighs.
"Name?"
"Ryder."
"Age?"
“42。”
"Is the deceased a member of your regiment?"
"Yes, yes."
"What's his name?"
Grandin asked faster and faster, not giving him time to think.
"His name is Jack with a Clever Tongue, he is an acrobat, he is not popular, and his suicide has nothing to do with me."
Ryder began to tremble.
"Why do you want to put on a show like this?"
"It was Jack who came to me and said that I would make a fortune."
He was uncomfortable with the rope, but he still had a flattering smile.
"Does Jack have any personal belongings?"
"Yes, in the cupboard outside."
When Grandin had finished asking, he left him alone, and he walked out of the cubicle, and sure enough, he found a row of iron cabinets in the corner of the tent. On the cabinet door are the names of the various members of the circus.
Jack's private cabinet is in the bottom row. He crouched down, the cabinet was unlocked, and a canvas bag lay inside.
He put on his gloves, took out his bag, and rummaged through it.
a retractable fake sword; a box of paint; an aluminium lunch box; An absorbent fountain pen.
There was a wallet with a few sulter notes and a few pennies in it.
Eventually, he found a diary.
With a slightly heavy heart, he opened the diary.
The diary was undated, scribbled, and misspelled, but barely readable.
"My father gave the land to my brother, and he found 21 soles in the earthen pot and told me to go to the city to earn a living. What can I do? ”
"After working at the dock for a year, today I told the supervisor that I was going to change jobs. He looked at me quizzically and asked, 'Who are you?' ’。 ”
"I work as a clown in the circus. Every day I put oil paint on my face, 3 months have passed, and my colleagues still don't remember me. ”
"Turn around here, laugh here, good, I should jump here."
"I became an acrobat."
"Turn around here, laugh here, good, I should jump here. When I'm bored, I go to the tavern for a drink. ”
There was a large section of graffiti and nonsense behind, which Grandin skipped and he continued to flip down:
"They didn't care where I came from or who I was, they just called me an acrobat."
"I started talking non-stop, amused, and they occasionally found me funny."
"They don't understand at all! Only if I keep talking will people remember me. ”
"My name, Jack the Tongue. But I remember my name was Locke. ”
"I found a biography of a celebrity, and there was no one named Locke in it."
"Turn around here, laugh here, good, I should jump here."
It's another big piece of graffiti.
"A sea? The old professor from Port Enmat said he was very sympathetic to me and he gave me some help. This is the first person to care about me! Strangely, I can't remember what he looked like. ”
"I want everyone to remember me!"
