Chapter 33: The Sunshine Circus

"You're right."

In the dimly lit storage room, Ma Wei nodded in agreement: "The Rose Monster Thief is indeed provoking the police, provoking the entire judicial organ, he doesn't put anyone in his eyes, and he is even more proud to believe that no one can catch him." ”

"This kind of person is either a once-in-a-century genius or an arrogant fool."

"Do you think he's a genius or a fool?" Fat Orange asked.

“.... Genius, absolute genius. ”

Ma Wei muttered: "It has been almost three years since the Rose Monster Thief debuted, and he has stolen countless gold, silver and jewelry, which are worth a fortune, but no one can help him. ”

"Not only that..."

"He also exchanged all the stolen gold, silver and jewelry for copper pennies and distributed them to the poor people, not simple....."

Pattern.

Mavi read the words from the way the Rose Thief behaved.

A person with a pattern and clever means must not be a fool.

At the same time, this kind of person is also the most difficult to deal with.

"Dad, he seems to be a good guy, are we really going to arrest him?"

Yunia, who was lying on Mavi's lap, blinked.

"Good and bad... It depends on the position, how can there be a pure good person in the world? ”

Ma Wei said in a calm voice: "For the poor people, the Rose Monster Thief may be a good person, but what about the nobles who have been robbed of their treasures? Is he still a good person? ”

"From our standpoint, is he a good guy?"

"I'm not sure, there are many things that can only be answered after the exchange." Ma Wei said: "Man is a creature with feelings, and he cannot be as accurate as a machine in judging good and evil, but I always believe that people should think from the two aspects of what they should do and what they want to do. We should catch him, that's from a rational point of view. ”

If the Church of Truth wants to stand out in a chaotic era, it can't just shout slogans, it must do practical things.

Ma Wei has already thought about the next development strategy, and it can be summed up in two points:

1. Make money.

2. Recruitment.

Needless to say, what does it cost to do something?

Especially in the early stage of the development of the church, how can it grow rapidly without funds?

Of course, it's not enough to have money, it's not enough to have wealth but no power, it's a piece of fat in the eyes of others!

In the small place of New Ross City, Ma Wei can still handle it alone, but what can he do?

With the increasing number of Truth Church believers over time, will he still be able to maneuver?

So....

He needs a team, and he can't do it alone.

Dilloc Holmes is very good, a compatible of logical truth, but his origin is unknown, and Ma Wei does not dare to throw an olive branch easily.

Similarly....

It's the same with the Rose Thief.

"Holmes is already ahead of us." Fat Tangerine pushed away Xiao Hei, who was going to let him lick his fur, and said: "The information he has obtained is far beyond ours, if we don't catch up quickly, we may not be able to compete with him." ”

"Hmm."

Ma Wei continued to flip through the newspapers: "That's why I'm looking for clues about the Rose Thief..."

In addition to the direct report on the Rose Thief, Mavi is also reading other news and does not miss any possibility.

The Ross Daily is a comprehensive newspaper, and like the Times Daily, it contains not only anecdotes about what happened in various parts of the country, but also long and short story serials, rental and sales information areas, missing person notices, and all kinds of miscellaneous chatter.

As long as you're willing to spend a few shillings, you'll have a place in the newspapers.

Although Ma Wei had already read the old newspaper of the year, when he picked it up again and read it a second time with a purpose....

He discovered many 'details' that he hadn't noticed at first.

[On January 31st, the famous circus 'Sunshine' began to tour all over the country, the first stop is Oxford, and the performance is expected to be two weeks...]

[On February 18th, Sunshine Circus' first tour was a great success with rave reviews, and the next stop is Coventry, which is expected to perform for two weeks...]

[On March 5th, Sunshine Circus went to Birmingham....]

In the middle of the newspaper, in the entertainment area, Ma Wei saw a few news that he had ignored before, entertainment has always been something he is not good at, and taking care of the church every day keeps him busy, where is the time to watch circus performances?

However....

The route and timing of the Sunshine Circus tour are surprisingly consistent with the Rose Thief's mode of action!

"Xiao Hei, don't rub your big brother, it doesn't want to lick your hair, go to the kitchen and bring over this morning's newspaper."

"Meow...."

Xiao Hei stood up aggrievedly, glanced at Fat Tangerine with resentment, turned his head and rushed into the corridor, quite a posture of never returning.

Getting this morning's newspaper, Ma Wei went straight to the last page, and in the cracks, saw the news he needed.

[The Sunshine Circus will arrive in New Ross City the day after tomorrow, and the tour will be held at Ross Square, and the ticket price is only 5p]

That's it!

His eyes suddenly lit up, and Ma Wei slapped his thigh excitedly: "Found it!" ”

"What did you find?"

Fat Orange stepped forward and asked.

"Clue to the Rose Thief! It's the Sunshine Circus! ”

Ma Wei hugged Xiao Hei and kissed him, and said excitedly: "His line of action is a complete match with the Sunshine Circus!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Surely, by all means! There is a high probability that the Rose Monster Thief is related to the Sunshine Circus! ”

Hearing this, Fat Orange also became serious: "If this is the case, then the scope will be much narrower, and didn't Holmes say tonight that the Rose Monster Thieves will soon come to New Ross City?" The time is right...."

"After all the impossible is removed, what is left is unbelievable, but that's the truth!"

Putting down the newspaper, Mavi thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Yunia, do you want to go to the circus show?" ”

"What is a circus?"

"The circus has stunts, magic, clowns and animals, and it's a lot of fun to watch."

"Go, go!" Yunia sat up suddenly, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice: "When are we leaving?" ”

"Don't worry, people will only be able to get to New Ross the day after tomorrow.... Oh, it's already 11 o'clock, Yunia, it's time for you to rest. ”

"Yunia still has to listen to the story that was not told yesterday!"

"No problem, where did you talk about yesterday?"

"Luffy has met a three-knife pirate hunter!"

"Okay, then let's move on today...."

...............................

After lulling Yunia to sleep, Ma Wei did not go back to the house to sleep, but took Fat Tangerine to the study and took out the glass bottle in his arms.

"The goddess is not here, you must not open the bottle." Fat Orange reminded: "It was hard to catch it, and it wouldn't be good if it slipped away." ”

"I wasn't going to let it out."

Sitting down at the table, Mavi pulled open the drawer and took out the inkwell and the Book of Truth.

"I want to rub the magic array at the bottom of the bottle onto paper and study it carefully."
