Chapter two hundred and forty sixth division
"You are not saying whether there is any error in the investigation."
"Now, please cooperate with our work if you don't want to be arrested."
Barnum's excuse was also expressionless. Agent Zhou glanced at the tent behind the circus leader, heard the constant screams and applause from inside, and said with a cold face.
"Can I take this as a threat to me by you, police officer?"
Hearing Agent Zhou's words, the expression under the circus leader Barnum's top hat became even more gloomy.
He noticed the change in expression on Barnum's face, and the [lobster man] who was beside him trembled involuntarily.
"No, I'm just stating the facts."
However, when facing Barnum's gaze, the expression on agent Zhou's face did not change at all, but his arms remained calm and approached the pistol at his waist.
“…”
With a gloomy face, he remained silent for a long time at Amanda and others.
Barnum then withdrew his gaze and bit his sharp teeth in his mouth and said, "Since all the police officers want to investigate, as a law-abiding citizen, I naturally raise my hands and feet to show cooperation. However, the performance of our circus is still in progress, and the entire circus is full of guests watching the performance. Even if the investigation is conducted, it must wait until the circus performance is over before it can be carried out..."
As the leader of the circus, Barnum must abide by the circus rules and cannot easily end the circus performance.
This is the rule set by the circus, and even Barnum, as the leader of the circus, cannot violate it.
Upon hearing the reasons given by Barnum, Amanda and Agent Zhou looked at each other.
From previous investigations, they already knew that many residents of small towns came to watch circus performances today.
With such gatherings, it is indeed not suitable to conduct an investigation immediately, because once any dangerous situation occurs, these audiences who are watching the circus performance are likely to be implicated.
Therefore, I heard the request made by the circus leader Barnum.
Amanda just hesitated for a moment and had to agree.
"Chou, you and Phil, and Spike are here to watch the show."
Of course, although he agreed to wait until the circus was over before he could conduct an investigation, Amanda was not completely unprepared.
Agent Week, Agent Phil and Spike were arranged at the circus site to avoid this.
Agent Zhou and Agent Phil deal with ordinary problems, and Spike is naturally used specifically to deal with special circumstances.
"Angela, you are in the same group as me."
"As for orders, boss."
Hearing that he and Amanda were in the same group, Angela couldn't help but look excited on her face.
But Amanda turned his attention to Barnum in front of him and asked word by word: "I think there should be no problem in investigating the members of the circus, leader Barnum."
Faced with Amanda's request, Barnum's expression twitched in the topper's hair before pinching his nose and said, "Of course, there is no problem, as long as you don't affect the circus' performance."
...
"Speaking of this, this is the first time I've seen a circus performing on the spot."
The team divided into two groups and launched an investigation in the circus tent.
The agents entered the audience three times, found several empty seats to sit down, and looked at the center of the stage [General Thumb] dressed as Napoleon, rode an equally short pygmy horse, and posed in the pose in the classic portrait.
Agent Phil, who was sitting next to the agent, couldn't help but whisper.
"We are here, not really watching the circus performance."
Hearing Agent Phil's confession, Agent Zhou continued to keep his expressionless face.
He sat in the lively audience, listening to the noise of cheers and applause that kept ringing around him, but his brows frowned involuntarily and reached out to grab his arm.
From the time he entered the circus tent, he began to feel the tingling pain coming from his infected arm, as if some invisible force was constantly affecting this arm that should have been woody and completely unscathed.
"I certainly know what our goal is."
Faced with the reminder of Agent Zhou, although Agent Phil said, his eyes were once again attracted by the two-headed sisters appearing in the center of the stage. Looking at the dancing of this deformed sister, Agent Phil couldn't help but raise his palm and gave warm applause.
"However, at the moment, there are so many people on the scene who want to conduct an investigation, they still need to wait until they all disperse."
As he spoke, Agent Phil turned his head and looked at Agent Zhou beside him.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes suddenly became confused. He poked his head and looked at the seats around the agent, and said strangely: "Where is Spike?"
Hearing Agent Phil's words, Agent Zhou quickly turned his head to look at the seat beside him.
However, at least one empty position came into view.
"He was here just now."
...
"Hello, I am Amanda, an agent from BSI, this is Agent Angela..."
Circus, backstage.
Amanda and Angela entered the scenes in the backstage and the various strange and deformed people, they were a little dazzled for a moment.
After observing these deformed people for a long time, Amanda chose a deformed person who seemed to have finished his circus performance and stepped forward to introduce himself.
“…We have some questions about circus and want to ask you, ma’am.”
"Miss?"
Hearing Amanda's voice, [Bearded Woman] turned his head and looked at the two BSI agents. Especially when he heard Amanda's name to him, [Bearded Woman] showed a self-deprecating smile under his face covered by his dense beard: "I haven't heard this title for a long time."
Shaking his head, restraining his expression under his beard, [Bearded Woman] looked at Amanda in front of him: "Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"What should I call you?"
From the attitude of [bearded woman], Amanda noticed a breakthrough. At least her reaction did not shirk like the [lobster man] she encountered before at the door of the tent, and immediately continued.
"Just just call me [Bearded Girl], that's what the whole circus calls me."
"This is too disrespectful."
When Angela, who was bearded, could not help frowning when she heard her name. As a woman, she naturally knew that the name of "Bearded Girl" was not just a nickname.
"Respect, there is no such thing in the circus."
"We are all items in the circus, and only special ones can survive in the circus."
