Father Mavie

Chapter 43 Space Shuttle
He is so confident.

The self-confidence is so high that even Mavi feels a little psychologically uncomfortable.

If possible, Mavi would really like to imprint the soles of his shoes on Levin Boger's handsome face!
but.
This kind of confrontation scene is exactly what the audience likes to see the most. A magician sent a challenge letter to Dillock Holmes. How can it not make people's blood boil?
5p tickets. No loss!

"Mr. Marvie, please come in."

Levin Boger opened the door of A's closet with his own hands: "Don't worry, no one will be injured during this performance."

Ma Wei got into A closet and leaned against the closet wall. Under the tense and expectant gaze of the audience, Levin Bojie closed the closet door and came to C closet with light steps. Salute gracefully.

"Please enjoy, magic, space shuttle."

Boom!
Holmes closed the door, covered the three wardrobes with black cloth in sequence, then picked up a torch, and lit C wardrobe.

The pure cotton woven black cloth started to burn as soon as it touched the flame, and the threatening heat wave spread instantly. Holmes stepped back a few steps, with a tense face, and looked at the two wardrobes A and B while listening to the sound under his feet.

The audience all sweated and looked at C's wardrobe with excitement and fear.

Ma Wei also smelled a puff of smoke, which smelled like burning paper, which was faint and not particularly pungent.

In the dark and confined space, he couldn't see his fingers, and the darkness came from all directions. He lost his vision, and his hearing was infinitely magnified, as if he could hear the cracking sound of cotton fabric intertwined with flames close at hand, as well as his own slightly Heavy breathing.

Here, time seems to be slowed down. He feels that 1 minute is so long, and his thoughts are extremely clear but extremely chaotic. He can't help but recall all kinds of past events, such as the loud roar of the crew, and the warmth of his parents touching his forehead. , There is also a suffocation with a twisted rope tied around the neck.
He even heard the sound of chains rubbing against each other.

"It turns out that I'm also a person who is afraid of the dark." Mavi murmured.

At this moment, a sense of dizziness pulled him back to reality, the cabinet door opened, and amidst the exclamation, Ma Wei looked around in a daze, walked out of the cabinet, looked at Holmes in front of him, and looked back at the cabinet after seeing his complicated expression. Letters on the door.

B!

Surprised, Mavi looked at Holmes again, but Holmes just shook his head, and immediately lifted the black cloth of the closet next to him.

click!

Before he could open the door, Levin Boger, wearing a top hat, jumped out and tap danced while raising his cane high towards the audience.

"This is magic, space shuttle!"

There was a tsunami of applause from the audience, almost drowning the stage.

"Mr. Holmes, can you crack the space shuttle magic?"

After enjoying the cheers, Levin Bodger walked up to Holmes and asked like a reporter: "Can you please explain the method I use?"

"I can't decipher it." Holmes said calmly, "It's a very miraculous magic trick."

The corner of Levin Bojie's mouth twitched, and he didn't make trouble. Instead, he said loudly: "Thank you Mr. Holmes for giving me this face. I know that even if he sees through my tactics, he won't say it in public, but tonight, it is destined to be Home of our Sunshine Circus! Music!"

The joyful music was played again, white doves descended one after another, covering Levin Boger's body, and when the acrobat walked out of the curtain, he disappeared again, like a ghost, escaping into the world without warning. dark.

Back on the seat, Ma Wei asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Holmes, did you really not see it or save face for him?"

"I really don't know."

Holmes took a deep breath: "He didn't transfer from the underground, nor did he leave the C wardrobe. This is a real space shuttle, not a magic trick achieved by using blindfolds."

Observing at such a close distance, with Sherlock Holmes' strength, if Levin Bojie used any tricks, he would definitely not be able to escape his eyes.

"The stage is complete, there is no hidden space below."

Holmes said solemnly, "He is by no means an ordinary magician."

"It's magic, like Gilbert Wilkin," said Marvie.

"Yes."

Holmes' complexion was not good. Since he came to New Rose, all kinds of strange things happened, first Gilbert Wilkin, and then Levin Bodger. The science he was originally proud of was suddenly unavailable Useful, reasoning.
Naturally, there is no way to talk about it.

For a detective, being able to find the real culprit, but unable to decipher the methods used by the other party, is extremely difficult to accept.

It's like you have never quarreled with the other party, and you can't help but beat him up.

Won, but not quite.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the curtain slowly lowered, and the performance ended.

Under the guidance of the circus members, the audience began to exit in an orderly manner, and finally.
Only Mavi, Junia, and Sherlock Holmes were left. Oh, and there was a cat.

"Nia, is the show good?"

"nice!"

Junia licked off the remaining chocolate on her finger: "It would be better if there were more snacks!"

“Too much sweets is bad”

Ma Wei smiled, and looked at Holmes who was silent beside him: "Do you think he is the Rosary Thief?"

"Very similar, but I don't have enough proof."

Holmes raised his head and said, "There must be evidence in everything. If there is no evidence, even if we arrest him immediately, the police will not be able to convict him."

"Whether you can catch him or not is up for debate." Ma Wei sneered and said, "Space shuttle. This kind of magic is too powerful, it is simply a weapon for escape."

"Would you like to visit their backstage?" Holmes suddenly suggested, "There is more than one person in the circus. If you do a search, you may find some clues."

"Well, I also really want to know what's going on inside the Sunshine Circus."

After finalizing the plan, the three of Ma Wei stood up and asked the members of the circus who were cleaning: "Hello, can we go backstage for a visit?"

"I'm afraid it won't work." The cleaning man looked embarrassed: "The manager of Tiffany said that no one can enter the backstage except the staff."

While talking, the man suddenly widened his eyes and looked behind Ma Wei and the others:
"Captain! When did you come?"

Mavi turned around and met Levin Bodger's eyes.

"Just here."

He said flatly: "It's none of your business here, keep working. Lizel has prepared supper, remember to come and eat."

"Yes, Captain."

The man turned his head away and continued cleaning.

"Mr. Holmes, Mr. Marvie, and this lovely lady"

Levin Bojie asked with a smile: "I just heard you say that you want to visit the backstage of the circus?"

"is it okay?"

"Of course! Don't listen to Tiffany, she is a cautious woman who always likes to avoid accidents, but if there are no accidents in life, wouldn't surprises also go away?"

Putting the carved silver cane on his chest, he tapped himself on the shoulder twice. Levin Bojie smiled and said, "If you don't mind, let me be your guide."
