Chapter 181 Returning to the Theater
"This sentence has appeared many times."
While searching for other clues, Paulin said:
"In one of his detective novels, the narrator says that in a pantomime when he sees an actor playing the clown picking up a policeman."
"So, what does this sentence express?"
Bant asked a little puzzled.
Yago also turned his attention to Paulin in silence.
Paulin raised the chair, flipped through it again, put it down, and replied at the same time:
"The policeman on the mime stage is not a fake, but a real policeman. The clown is a thief. He stole things. He kicked and beat a real policeman in full view of the audience."
"And the stupid audience didn't realize that, and cheered and cheered the clowns and the cops."
He simply described one sentence.
"That is to say, Mr. Turbolji might go to the theatre?"
Bant seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Yago beside him with an ugly expression.
"I don't know." While answering briefly, Yago shook his head, "It's just a possibility."
"We can search carefully to see if there are any more clues."
Paulin did not deny Yago's opinion, but nodded in agreement.
The two spent ten minutes searching around in this narrow room, but found no other clues.
Under such circumstances, the two had to ask another question——
"Mr. Bant, are you sure Mr. Tuborgie only leaves clues in this room?"
Under the watchful eyes of Jago and Paulin, Bant suddenly felt the pressure and straightened his back unconsciously:
"That's what Mr. Tebolji's previous editor said."
"Can we go and see other rooms?" Yago asked, looking up over Bant's shoulder and looking at the opposite door.
After more than ten seconds of silence, Bant said in a hesitant tone:
"It's best not to do that. Although I don't know what method Mr. Teberge used, but I heard that it was because he discovered that the editor of the previous publishing house he signed a contract broke into other rooms without authorization. Terminated the contract with that publishing house."
Hearing this sentence, the two looked at each other, and then Paulin said:
"Then let's go directly to the Diroud Theater to confirm whether he is there or not."
"Okay, okay."
Bant nodded immediately and walked towards the stairs.
When Yago and Paulin kept up, he couldn't help asking in a low voice:
"Isn't there any danger at the Diroud Theater?"
The wanted Sequence 7 Extraordinary, "Puppet Master" Dennis, almost killed him and Alenaxia in the Diroud Theater.
If Captain Friesen hadn't given up the pursuit and chose to protect them instead, he and Alainasia might have died.
There's been too much going on lately.
In the middle sequence, the Extraordinary was killed, the priest Sally Lin did not return, the homeless man who was hunted down, the "bone picker" old man who hunted down the homeless man, and the Brotherhood of the Lantern, the "puppet master" Dennis who committed a large number of cases It hasn't been found yet either.
Now, Elsa and old Fanks disappeared again for no reason.
He felt danger everywhere.
Paulin responded in a low voice to his question:
"Don't worry, the captain said that the stronghold of the Knights of the Mist's Extraordinary team is near the Diroud Theater."
Knights of the Mist?
Yago didn't expect this.
But yes, the Knights in the Mist team gave up the area of Dilud City before, and now the Knights in the Mist team has returned, so the new business district is not necessarily safe, but at least it is better than the one where no one supervised it before. Condition is better.
Moreover, it was near the Diroud Theater, and the "Knights in the Mist" team couldn't possibly be so incompetent that they couldn't even guarantee the safety of the area around them.
However, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Maybe that Dennis would choose the Diroud Theater as his hiding place?
Soon, they came to Huoshu Street, before the elegant and retro hemispherical building.
Compared with before, this opera house looks quite deserted now.
There was a murder case within a few days of opening, and many people were killed. The opera house was also ordered to close.
As for who?
Not to mention several church forces exerting pressure at the same time, even Viscount Nafar alone can do it.
Up to now, Yago still doesn't know that the Diroud family is a family of extraordinary people.
Glancing at the completely faded poster on the bulletin board, Yago and Paulin huddled together under an umbrella, and followed Bant to the canopy of the Diroud Theatre.
"I think I know why Mr. Taberji is here."
Looking at this familiar building, Bant adjusted the red bow tie in front of his neck uncomfortably:
"But I don't like the material."
Is there any better place for a detective novel than the place where a murder happened?
Yago and Paulin naturally understand this too.
The pattering raindrops were still falling, and after shaking the door, Bant, who failed to open the door, sighed, raised the unclosed umbrella again, and walked to the right.
After making a small half circle, the three of them saw an unclosed window.
Moreover, there are still shoe prints on the window, and the muddy shoe prints have not completely dried up:
"Mr. Taberji must not have expected us to come so soon, just"
Paulin habitually smiled at Yago, and remembered something in the middle of speaking, and swallowed the joke in the second half of the sentence.
Then, he turned his head and asked Bant:
"We can go in here, Mr. Bant."
"Hopefully no security."
Bant responded, and then took the lead in pulling the window wall and turning into the theater.
Paulin and Yago followed closely behind.
There were no lights on inside the theater.
Even though the lighting design is quite good, because it is rainy, the interior of the theater does not appear bright.
It is similar to the style of the church. The open windows on the left and right of the vault a few meters higher cast only enough light for the eyes, and the light cast through the stained glass is slightly dark.
In this quiet and deserted theater auditorium, only the footsteps of the three people and the sound of the rain hitting the window filled the auditorium. With the light, there was a strange and eerie feeling.
"Mr. Turbolji!"
I don't know if it's for courage or because I really don't want to be afraid, Mr. Bant shouted at the top of his voice.
While shouting, the three walked onto the stage all the way, and walked around the backstage corridor from the left side of the stage.
Since it is possible that Mr. Taberji came here to collect information, it is self-evident where he will be.
The three of them walked side by side and came to the backstage, outside the room of the opera actress Elaine.
