Chapter 246 Investigating the Circus

"Admissions are five dollars for adults, three dollars for children..."

Entrance to the circus tent.

[Lobster Man] Standing at the ticket office at the entrance with a sullen expression on his face, he noticed someone coming, and said without raising his head.

"...The circus performance has already started, if you want to see it, you have to hurry up."

He muttered a few words to the person who came, but he never got a response.

The expression on [Lobster Man]'s face became a bit puzzled, he slowly raised his head, and saw several men and women with serious expressions standing in front of the tent, and the woman who led the team took out her ID from her pocket shouted at him.

"BSI, we are investigating some issues, please cooperate with our work, thank you."

After the events in New York, paranormal events can no longer be hidden.

BSI has also changed its investigative style and no longer hides its identity.

"BSI?!"

His eyes fell on the ID card in Amanda's hand, and the expression on [Lobster Man]'s face changed slightly, but he quickly reacted and made a confused expression.

"I know what you want to ask, I'm just an ordinary circus member, I don't know anything."

"is it?"

Regarding [Lobster Man]'s reaction, Spike, who was standing beside Amanda, slightly raised his eyebrows.

His slightly drooping eyes rested on the deformed palm of the other party for a while, and then he said: "But, how do I feel, you know some answers we want."

Looking into Spike's blue eyes, [Lobster Man] tried his best to look humble, shook his head and said, "That must be your illusion, Mr. I'm just a poor deformed person. My job is just to sell tickets for the circus."

When it comes to deformed people, [Lobster Man] also deliberately raised his pair of deformed palms, and showed them to Amanda and others in front of him, so as to exaggerate his identity as a deformed person and win sympathy.

There is no doubt that [Lobster Man]'s method is old-fashioned, but it is surprisingly effective.

Especially when the eyes of Amanda and others fell on his pair of deformed and sticky palms, no matter what the purpose was, a strange look inevitably flashed in their eyes.

……

"...Now, the show is the famous circus strongman [Bearded Child]. Everyone, don't underestimate [Bearded Child] because of her appearance. She is not only powerful in appearance, but also has amazing strength. Ordinary men can't bear it." A heavy object that cannot be lifted is a breeze for [bearded girl]..."

Here, the investigation work of Amanda and others encountered a bottleneck because of [Lobster Man]'s excuse of evasion.

On the other side, inside the circus.

In line with the introduction of the head of the circus, Barnum, the [bearded girl] in a purple dress waved her strong arms, raised a tall horse amidst the exclamations of the surrounding guests, and walked The audience close to the front row allows them to experience this thrilling scene more closely.

Seeing the astonishing power displayed by the ugly, even some ugly [bearded children], the whole circus burst into huge applause instantly.

Hearing the applause, Barnum, the head of the circus standing by the stage, smiled more clearly under his top hat, and his mustache on both sides of his mouth uncontrollably raised, revealing his sharp teeth.

However, the smile on Barnum's face hadn't fully bloomed yet.

Suddenly, in the next second, the smile on its face froze instantly.

Turning his head to look towards the entrance of the circus tent, Barnum's expression under his top hat instantly became gloomy from the original complacency.

"It's really a group of guys who don't know how to live or die."

Reaching out to help the top hat on his head, Barnum turned his head and gestured to the backstage.

[General Thumb] immediately ran to the stage, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pulled the corners of his mouth to reveal a hasty smile, took over the job introduced by the head of the circus while the audience in the circus watched, and shouted in a loud voice: " Ladies and gentlemen, is the performance of [Bearded Son] wonderful?"

"Wonderful!"

"So, do you want to see the limit of the [bearded child]'s strength, how heavy can it lift?"

"miss you!"

"Let's get started!"

"Hey, shorty, what's your show? It won't be drinking... haha!"

Ignoring the mocking words about his height in the auditorium, [General Thumb] drew out the pocket sword at his waist, and continued to introduce: "Then, let us witness the next wonderful circus performance, first let We welcome the appearance of the largest elephant in the world—Jiang Leopard!"

moo—

……

"Although, I sympathize with your experience, but now please cooperate with our investigation and stop playing tricks."

Frowning, he looked at [Lobster Man] who kept using his deformed hands as an excuse to avoid asking at the ticket office.

Detective Zhou and Amanda exchanged glances cryptically, and then stepped forward to threaten.

"If you continue to show such an uncooperative attitude, we do not rule out the possibility of coercive measures."

As he spoke, Detective Zhou reached out to touch the handcuffs behind him and made a sound of metal touching, using this method to exert psychological pressure on the [Lobster Man] in front of him.

Facing Agent Zhou's warning, [Lobster Man] had a look of hesitation on his face, he opened his mouth and was about to say something.

"What happened?"

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the tent behind him.

Hearing this voice, the [Lobster Man] at the ticket counter immediately closed his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Barnum, the head of the circus, appeared in front of everyone limping on crutches.

"I'm Barnum, the master of this circus."

Clutching the top hat on his head, Barnum glanced across Amanda and the others in front of him, and paused on [Lobster Man] for a while, then opened the corners of his mouth to look puzzled, and looked at them Introduced myself.

"Are you guys here to see the greatest circus show in the world?"

"If it is, then don't hesitate. The wonderful circus is being staged constantly. If you miss it, you will regret it for life."

Facing the circus director Barnum boasting about showing off his circus performances, Amanda's expression remained unmoved. She reached out and took out the ID card in her hand again, interrupting Barnum's boasting and sending I repeated the question of [Lobster Man] before.

"In fact, we are agents from BSI and we are currently investigating some issues."

"BSI agent?"

When Amanda interrupted his showing off, Barnum's expression under his top hat flashed a gloomy look.

He grabbed the crutch in his hand, looked at the ID card in Amanda's hand, and said with a sneer.

"We're just an ordinary traveling circus, and there's nothing you want to investigate, officer."
