Chapter 42: The Duel Declaration (Asking for Votes and Reading!! )
"Here we go."
Ma Wei said as he looked at the tall and handsome young man who walked out of the curtain.
"yes."
Holmes nodded, a smile on his lips, "Here we go." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sunshine Circus, I am the head of the troupe, Levine Bojie...."
The man held a carved silver classical cane, walked slowly on the stage, and talked eloquently: "Today we will bring you an extremely wonderful program, please don't be stingy with your applause, especially this beautiful lady sitting at the front, you have been staring at me, if I don't have dirty things on my face, then you must be impatient." ”
There was a faint laughter from the audience.
The lady sitting at the front, holding a theater telescope with its own handle, blushed and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, presumably everyone didn't listen to my nagging when they bought tickets, the show will start soon, and now please enjoy the first show, the clown unicycle!"
Levine Berger bowed slightly to the audience, snapped his fingers, and a burst of smoke rose from the soles of his feet, and when the smoke cleared....
He's gone!
The audience let out an exclamation, and before they could react, the cheerful and frivolous music suddenly played, and then a clown with a thick foundation, a plaid jumpsuit, and a red-nosed clown squeaked out of the curtain on a wheelbarrow, and three small balls flew wildly in his hands, drawing circles in the air like spinning bearings.
The audience, who had just been shocked, was immediately attracted by the clown's funny performance.
Not long after, when the audience's interest in the clown show began to wane, a neighing of horses sounded from the backstage, and then a black steed burst out of the curtain, and the rider on his back flipped over and played gymnastics.
"The rider seems to be the girl selling tickets at the door...," Ma Wei muttered to himself.
The reason why Gina wears men's clothes and pants is probably to cover the silver silk gymnastics suit inside, and what she performs is also some kind of gymnastic movement.
It has to be said that the combination of acrobatics and gymnastics is a very great idea, and the difficulty is also visibly increased to the naked eye, and the running horses are bumpy, and Gina not only has to maintain her balance, but also uses the saddle as a horizontal bar to perform all kinds of difficult and dazzling flips.
Her soft body blooms like a boneless, and her close-fitting gymnastics uniform shines in the light of kerosene lamps, and at this moment, Gina is the brightest star on the entire stage.
At the end of the performance, the audience burst into warm applause, and Ma Wei also gently clapped his palms and sent praise.
The clown unicycle and Gina's horse acrobatics got off to a good start, and the atmosphere was completely set off, with continuous applause between the audience, and one after another acrobats took the stage to show their postures, just as the head of the troupe, Levine Boger, said, and the performance was very exciting.
At 8 o'clock, the music stops, the mime closes on time, and after the curtain is bowed, he returns to the backstage, and a young man in a tuxedo comes out from behind the curtain.
Levine Boger.
"Next, I'm going to put on a magic show."
With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, Levine Bojie, who was holding a carved silver classical cane, took off the silk scarf around his neck, shook it a few times, and after showing that it was indeed an ordinary silk scarf, Tuan shook it lightly in his hand...
A white dove appeared.
"Wow!"
Yunia leaned forward, stared at her big eyes, and said in surprise: "Dad, he is so good, he can turn a silk scarf into a pigeon!" ”
"It's pretty impressive." Mavi smiled.
After the release of the dove, Levine Berger continued to perform, showing his empty hands to the audience, and then rubbing his fingertips, a playing card magically transformed, and his movements became faster and faster, and more and more cards landed on the stage.
"I'm going to pick a few lucky audience members to perform magic tricks with me, and if anyone wants to take the initiative on stage, please raise your hand."
Whew!
In the audience, countless people raised their arms high, and Yunia was the same, even standing up excitedly, tiptoeing, hoping to go on stage to cooperate with the performance.
Levine Boje looked around and his eyes fell on the two men in the center, unresponsive to the performance.
He narrowed his eyes, then smiled, pointed at Mavi and Holmes, and said loudly, "Two gentlemen, would you like to come on stage to cooperate with my performance?" ”
Mavi and Holmes looked at each other, their faces extremely strange.
"Please don't be restrained, boldly come to the stage, everyone, where is the applause? Both gentlemen need your encouragement! ”
Bang bang bang...
"Father, what should I do?" Sherlock Holmes asked lightly, "Do you want to go on stage?" ”
"I'm fine." Ma Wei said.
"I'm fine."
Finally, urged by applause and under the resentful gaze of Unia, Mavi and Holmes stood up and stepped onto the stage.
"I wonder what the names of the two gentlemen are?" Levine Boje asked politely.
"Mavi Enders."
"Dilloc Holmes."
There was an uproar in the audience, not because of how famous Ma Wei was, but because of....
The great detective who is a household name, Dilloc Holmes.
"You're the most famous private investigator in the royal capital, Dilloch-Holmes?"
"It's me."
Hearing this, Levine Bojie's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was as excited as a pirate who had seen a treasure.
"Great!" He shouted to the audience, "Dilloc Holmes is on our stage, everyone, what are you waiting for, applause!" ”
The fierce applause rang out, reaching into the sky, deafening.
Everyone was curious to see if Holmes would be able to crack Levine Boger's magic.
"What magic trick do you want us to perform with you?" Holmes asked, sipping his pipe.
"Don't worry, don't worry... With Sherlock Holmes here, I've got to show some housekeeping skills. ”
Levine Berger thought for a few seconds, snapped his fingers, and had an idea: "Space shuttle!" ”
"Space shuttle?"
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Holmes frowned, not quite understanding what Levine Bojie meant.
"I'll explain later, please wait a moment."
Levine Bojell bowed slightly, turned around and walked backstage, and it wasn't long before three huge separate wardrobes were carried onto the stage.
"There are three wardrobes here: A, B, and C, and after a while, please ask Mr. Ma Wei to enter the A wardrobe, and I will enter the C wardrobe, and the B wardrobe is empty."
"When everything is ready," said Levine Boger, "Mr. Holmes, you will personally cover the three wardrobes with black cloth and set the C wardrobe on fire, and I will escape in one minute and enter the B wardrobe." ”
"Oh," Holmes asked, glancing at Mavey, "if it's just a simple escape room, why three wardrobes?" ”
"Ordinary escape rooms are too unwatching..."A flash flashed behind the monocle, and Levine Berger said in a calm voice: "After I escaped from the C wardrobe, I would swap places with Mr. Ma Wei and let him appear in the B wardrobe, and I entered the A wardrobe, and unknowingly, completed the space shuttle." ”
"I see, it sounds really interesting."
Holmes nodded slightly: "Father, what do you think?" ”
"Just like you."
Space shuttle, it sounds like magic, but if it is associated with the deeds of the Rose Monster Thief....
Isn't it very similar to the method used in the burglary of the Duke of Wales' house?
If the true identity of the head of the group, Levine Boger, is the Rose Thief, then he chose to perform the act of space shuttle magic in front of Sherlock Holmes today...
Undoubtedly a provocation, a glove thrown by the nobility, a ...
