Father Mavie

Chapter 37 The Performative Personality

The teaser letter actually appeared in New Rose City one step ahead of the Sunshine Circus?

Ma Wei was also a little surprised by this information, but he quickly calmed down and thought: "Maybe it's just a cover-up. The Rosy Thief can come to New Rose City first and send out a notice, right?"

"I can't rule out this possibility. The notice said that the Rosy Thief will go to Baron Bill's house at 8:[-] the day after tomorrow and steal a ruby ​​called Blood Rose. This is Baron Bill's family heirloom and is very valuable."

The Sunshine Circus will arrive in New Rose City on Monday, that is, tomorrow morning, and will start performing at 7 o'clock that night. It will last for half a month, and each performance will last for three hours.

"If the Rose Thief is a member of the circus, how can he go to Baron Bill's house to steal the blood rose while performing?" Fat Orange frowned and said, "Although Baron Bill lives on Ross Avenue, he can see After the announcement letter, we will definitely set up a net, no matter how powerful the methods of the rose monster are, it will take a lot of time to steal the gems!"

"If there is any mistake in the middle, wouldn't it just show the horse's feet?"

"Hmm, do you suspect that the Rose Phantom Thief is not a member of the Sunshine Circus?"

"Perhaps, the Sunshine Circus is the cover-up he set up. When everyone thinks that the Rose Phantom Thief is a member of the circus, their attention will be distracted and their judgments will be wrong. Doesn't this just provide him with an excellent starting point?" Chance?"

Fat Orange's reasoning is remarkable. According to the information in the newspaper, Ma Wei believes that the Rose Phantom Thief is related to the Sunshine Circus, but now the arrival of the notice letter makes him have to doubt whether his previous deduction is correct.

This is a psychological game. No one can be sure what the Rosary Thief will do. He may be a member of the circus, or he may simply use the circus as a cover for himself. In his trap.

[-]-[-] odds.
It was a gamble!
"How cunning."

Ma Wei said with emotion: "He forced other people to focus on the Sunshine Circus. This is the only clue he leaked, and we can't confirm his identity at all, so we can only bite the bullet and accept it."

"He was so conceited that he gave us one night to observe and think. That's too arrogant!"

The fleshy claws took a heavy shot, and Fat Ju said angrily: "We must catch him!"

"Don't be angry, anger will affect your judgment, and that will be in his hands."

Tapping his temple lightly with his index finger, Ma Wei pondered for a moment, and said: "We still act according to the original plan. He gave us one night to watch the show and know the order of the show. Arrogance is a bit arrogant. But he seems to be looking forward to a fair fight."

"Dad, what if he doesn't act according to the notice letter?"

Junia, who had been listening to the conversation between Ma Wei and Fat Ju, asked, "If we do it tonight, can't we just catch everyone off guard?"

"A person like him is so proud that he won't take the initiative to break the rules of the game he set."

Ma Wei shook his head: "A typical performance personality can shine on a grand stage, or dance alone in a dark cabin. This kind of person has an extremely rich inner world, pursues the ultimate stimulation, and lives in At the moment, I have my own set of rules of conduct.”

"Isn't this kind of person difficult to deal with?"

"No, on the contrary." Ma Wei grinned: "Performing personality is the easiest to figure out. If you set up a platform on the street and leave it there, he will jump up and down a few times, knowing that there is danger. But I still can't help but drill in, just like a silly roe deer."

"What is a silly roe deer?"

"For details, you can refer to Xiao Hei, who is very similar to a silly roe deer."

"Meow meow meow?"

For no reason, Xiao Hei felt offended.

"Holmes is on his way to church."

The second bobtail cat brought new news. After hearing its report, Fat Orange immediately said, "He's coming soon."

"Holmes?"

Ma Wei was slightly taken aback, then nodded immediately: "Okay, I see."

15 minutes ago, 13 Ross Avenue, Baron Bill's residence.

"Mr. Holmes, Mr. Holmes!"

In the living room covered with a soft woolen carpet, a middle-aged man in a tuxedo was walking around anxiously, confused and confused, "You should think of a way! The Rose Phantom Thief is coming the night after tomorrow! Blood Rose It was passed down from my grandfather's generation, it is a symbol of the family, and it must not be stolen!"

Holmes was sitting on the sofa with a pipe in his mouth, and he said calmly, "Sir Bill, please don't worry, I'm trying to figure out a way."

"And you, Inspector Macmillan!"

The middle-aged man turned to look at McMillan standing at the door, and said sharply: "The night after tomorrow, you must bring as many people as possible to guard my safe! Do you understand?"

"Why don't you move the blood rose to a safer place?" McMillan asked suspiciously: "For example, hide it in a secret place that no one knows except you. In that way, no matter how powerful the rose thief is, , he can't possibly succeed!"

"The safe is the safest place!"

Baron Bill shouted: "That is my family heirloom! There are too many people who covet it! I only have to worry about the rose thief at home. If I hide it outside, I don't know how many people want to steal it!"

"Isn't it okay to deposit it in the bank? I heard that Ross Bank has just changed the vault recently."

"Bank?" Baron Bill became even more angry: "Are you kidding! Isn't that just giving away the blood rose?! When the bank staff steals the gem and puts the blame on the rose thief, who am I to reason with?" It was stolen at home, but I can confirm the identity of the criminal anyway! Huh? Mr. Holmes, what are you doing standing up all of a sudden?"

"I'm going out."

Holmes picked up the tall felt hat hanging on the coat rack, and said calmly, "I'll be back soon."

"Is there anything more urgent than the Rose Phantom Thief! He's coming the night after tomorrow!"

"Isn't there still nearly two days left?"

Holmes was expressionless, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry: "He always keeps his appointments on time, so before 8:[-] pm the day after tomorrow, you don't have to worry about the safety of Blood Rose. Why don't you drink a cup of hot tea and calm down."

After finishing speaking, Holmes ignored Baron Bill who was like ants on a hot pot, walked out of the living room, and said to Macmillan who was following him, "I want to borrow a carriage."

"no problem."

Macmillan nodded: "Where are you going?"

"99 Kerr Street."
