"Um?"

I thought I would be praised, but unexpectedly I was criticized for being a conniving criminal. Conan was stunned.

At this time, Dr. A Li also came over with the young detective team and asked what happened to the yellow-haired children who ran away just now.

"Nothing, I'm having a friendly exchange with young people in the town."

"I see, I thought something difficult was going on..."

"Dr. Ali, are you here to see the circus performance?"

"Yeah, my friend gave me some tickets, and I just happened to bring the kids to see it."

Dr. Agasa took out a few tickets from his pocket, five of which were for children and one for adults. The number of people was just right, and even Haibara Ai, who was in a good mood, could get the tickets accurately.

Doctor, I suspect that the friend you are talking about is yourself.

"Just in time, I also have a ticket here, let's go together."

Qin Zhibo took out the free tickets given to the young people in the town and checked in with everyone to enter the theater.

Thinking that Minase Youmeng had never seen this kind of performance, Qin Zhibo went to the toilet to pour out Minase Youmeng, and one person and one ghost went to the performance hall.

...

When we entered the performance hall, the seats were almost full and there were no good seats left.

There was no way, there were seven people and one ghost in total, so we had to find a seat in the bottom rows so that we could watch the show.

After waiting for a while, the lights went out, leaving only the spotlight on the stage, announcing that the performance had officially begun.

The first thing that started was a clown performance, which made the audience laugh with his funny actions and warmed up the place first.

"Haha~ I'm really laughing to death!" Minase Youmeng screamed.

Next came various talent shows, including trapeze and fire performances, occasionally accompanied by an elegant musical performance.

The finale of these skill performances is the rotating knife flying show, which is the kind performed by Xingye in "The Variety Star".

Although the girl in the tutu was eye-catching, what Qin Zhibo paid attention to was the actor performing the knife throwing performance, a scarred man with thick paint on his face.

If ordinary viewers don't pay attention, they will think that those shocking scars are special effects makeup, deliberately cosplayed into a ruthless character, but in fact they are real scars.

One of the most horrific scars ran from the upper left side of his forehead to the right corner of his face. It's really hard to imagine what he went through.

A beautiful young lady was tied to a Frisbee in a "big" shape, and then the scar-faced man started throwing knives.

Bang, Bang, Bang...

Accompanied by the girl's performative screams, the scar-faced man threw all 10 throwing knives in 7 seconds. Each knife missed a key part of the body, sandwiching the girl's slender figure between the throwing knives.

Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.

Next, the performance was upgraded, and the turntable with the young lady tied to it finally came into use.

The other two ladies turned the turntable, and the pink and white bodies on the turntable began to rotate, which dazzled the audience, not to mention that the flying knives could not fly.

All the audience knew what was about to be performed next, but they still watched with bated breath with their hearts in their throats.

The scar-faced man still maintained a cold expression, holding the throwing knife between his thumb and index finger, as if taking aim.

The intensive drum music played, and the stage lights kept changing. Every time the drum beat turned into a shocking big drum, the scar-faced man threw the throwing knife in his hand, with a rhythm of about 2.5 seconds, and a total of 5 throws.

When the turntable stopped, the young lady on the turntable was still alive, with five flying knives on both sides of her head, under the joints of her arms, and between her legs.

The music changed into a cheerful tune, and the audience did not hesitate to applaud.

"It's so exciting!" Minase Youmeng screamed.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"I was really scared to death just now. I was so worried that something would happen..."

Ayumi is relatively innocent and kind-hearted, and does not completely regard this as a performance, and is even worried that something will happen to the actress on the turntable.

Haihara Ai, who was sitting next to her, explained in a serious tone: "Their performances have been trained for a long time, and they almost never make mistakes."

"Even if it was a mistake, they should have been mentally prepared...because once they set foot on some roads, they are destined to be unable to escape the consequences of death."

When Minase Youmeng heard this, he looked curiously at Haibara Ai, this unique little sister whom he had never seen before.

Hey hey...

After listening to the "Healing" heroine's speech, Conan next to him, who was so bored that he was holding his chin, glanced at Haibara Ai with his eyelids drooped.

In order to prevent Haiyuan's dangerous speech from damaging the future flowers of the motherland, Conan, who had always shown little interest, took the initiative to explain the principles of the performance just now.

"Actually, the knife throwing performance is not that dangerous. At the beginning of the performance, the turntable was stationary, and the actors threw the throwing knives continuously in a quiet environment, just to leave the impression in the audience's heads that the throwing knives were thrown from their hands.

.”

"Then the turntable rotates, and the knife-throwing actor only has to pretend to throw the knife. In fact, he just hides the throwing knife in his sleeve, and the actor next to the turntable will control the fake throwing knife to pop out from under the turntable."

Conan explained this somewhat boringly, because with his life experience of a rich second generation, he has seen too many such performances.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a primary school student, he wouldn't have watched such a boring performance.

Although Conan explained, Mitsuhiko still felt something was wrong, "But if the throwing knife hadn't been thrown, wouldn't the audience at a closer distance have been able to see it?"

"No, because during the second part of the performance, the lights suddenly changed, affecting the view of the audience in front. The same goes for the sound. Drums were used to cover up the sound of the flying knife not hitting the target."

"This type of performance is like this, nothing interesting."

Conan performed a flying knife show to reveal the secret, causing the audience in the front row who accidentally heard the answer to turn around and look at it with disdain.

Where do these self-righteous elementary school students come from?

Next to her, Haibara Ai still insisted on her point of view, "But even if there is a mistake in the first performance, the actor will probably be injured or die, right?"

Conan: That's enough...

Qin Zhibo, who was sitting next to him, had been listening to "Several Children's Debate" and felt that Hui Yuan Ai's words made more sense.

In fact, when he was watching the flying knife show just now, Qin Zhibo had been watching it very seriously. Because Conan, the god of death, the elementary school student, was present, he had to be careful about performances of this nature.

So during the second stage of the knife-throwing performance, Qin Zhibo used a telescope to carefully observe the scar-faced man's throwing knife. In fact, it was actually thrown, not hidden in his sleeve.

As for whether the flying knife landed on the turntable or somewhere else, the lights were too bright to see clearly.

However, Minase Harumu can float in the air and should be able to fly to the stage to see the situation clearly.

Qin Zhibo raised his eyes and glanced at Minase Yangmeng. She was watching the performance with great interest, so he didn't bother him.

...

After the human performances, the next step is the circus's signature animal performances.

The stage changed to a tropical jungle setting, and various animals took turns to appear.

Elephants playing with gymnastic sticks, equestrian performances, monkeys riding bicycles... In short, as long as animals do things they don't need to do, they will get applause from humans and a small reward from their trainers. It's true.

It was forced to open for business.

The most outrageous thing is that there is actually a giant panda performance, a black and white four-legged beast, also known as the "iron-eating beast" and the "cell-sitting beast".

"Wow! This is called a giant panda, right? It's actually real!" Minase Youmeng screamed.

When the three pandas swayed onto the big ball and stood upright innocently, Qin Zhibo saw the black zipper between the pandas' crotches.

panda?

Pandaren, right?

Although there was a slight flaw in the prop, no one noticed the flaw. Minase Yomu also lay on Conan's head and watched with great interest.

Seeing this, Qin Zhibo stopped doing anything inappropriate. After all, he was not here to crack down on counterfeiters.

Only Conan still had a droopy face, with the word "bored" written on his face. At the same time, he felt that his head seemed a little heavy today.

A large number of animals have finished their business one after another. Accompanied by a piece of surging music, today's finale performance is the lion.

In order not to awaken the hunting habits of carnivores, circuses perform performances by carnivores and herbivores separately.

Three female lions appeared on the stage, sitting on the round platform respectively, while the only male lion lay lazily on the steps at the back.

This lion is different from the African savanna lions shown in the animal world. It has white hair all over its body and is so rare that even Conan couldn't help but look at it carefully.

A fire ring was erected in the center of the stage. As the animal tamer girl waved her whip to create a whipping sound, the memory engraved in the muscles made the white lion jump over the fire ring. The flames blackened a small amount of white hair, and did not forget to look around.

Curtain farewell to the audience.

This time, the audience's applause reached its climax.

Although Qin Zhibo doesn't know how to tame animals, animals are instinctively afraid of flames. It definitely took a lot of effort to get animals to actively approach flames.

...

After all the performances were over, the disappointed Qin Zhibo and Dr. A Li walked out of the performance hall with a few little ones, and found Hawke's Wonderful Circus peripheral products on sale in the lobby store.

The dazzling array of peripherals are mostly animal-image hangings, coasters, ashtrays and the like. Because Japan is a big neighboring country, many viewers chose to come and join in for a second time.

Ayumi and Haihara Ai each purchased a white lion cell phone pendant, although neither of them seem to have cell phones at the moment.

"So cute~ I want this too!"
