The strange case of the demon book

?The penultimate day of the puppet circus performance. During this time, everyone in Guangzhou City was talking about the puppet circus.This kind of atmosphere was very abnormal. The people in Guangzhou City seemed to be confused by them and became a little crazy. Only then did Huo Wen feel that there was something wrong, something very wrong.

But he couldn't find the handle of the puppet circus.

Huo Wencai flicked the "Minsheng Daily", and a large page on it was all about the performances of the puppet circus.Moreover, the puppet circus stated in the newspaper that it would surprise the people of Guangzhou City on the day of the performance.

That surprise will come at the stroke of midnight in the evening.

The people outside who read the newspapers are looking forward to that day. Even if they can't go to the Haizhu Theater to see the performance, the Puppet Circus performs on the streets every day during this period, and the people in Guangzhou City are already very familiar with this circus.So after seeing the news in the newspaper, it was spread all over the streets and alleys, and everyone was looking forward to that day.

When Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui arrived at the police station, the patrolmen had already gathered in the police station. When Yu Xian saw the two of them, he greeted them because Wei Zong had something to say.

In his office, Wei Zong was also reading the newspaper, for the tricks those people were going to play, Wei Zong could only see the tricks.

The things in Guangzhou City are really one after another without stopping for a moment.I don't know if the puppet circus has anything to do with the British on Shamian Island.

Putting down the newspaper, Wei Zong went to the hall to explain to the patrolmen.

Looking at the soldiers under him, Wei Zong smiled.He said loudly: "Brothers, there is work to do..."

The day after tomorrow is the day when the puppet circus will perform. Judging from the investigation in hand, there is nothing suspicious about the puppet circus.But the looting of European nobles is absolutely true.Therefore, it is best if the puppet circus is really okay. If there is a problem, they will catch those European ghost thieves and put them in prison for food.

Wei Zong asked his patrolmen to go to the houses of the rich and powerful in the city on the day when the puppet circus performed, so as not to be poisoned by the ghost circus.Another group of people patrolled the city of Guangzhou that night.The last group of people stood by outside the Haizhu Theater listening to gunshots.

Wei Zong had already foreseen that the night when the puppet circus performed would be extremely lively.

After disbanding the people, everyone went to work on their own.Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui, who were working as errands on Taiping Street, walked and talked.

"We can't see it if we want to see it that day." He made an appointment with Huo Wen to sneak into the Haizhu Theater to watch the puppet circus performance, which was a bit regrettable for him.

"The future is long, and there will always be a time when we can see it again."

"I hope so."

On the day when the puppet circus performed, the whole city of Guangzhou was boiling because—the performers of the puppet circus were touring Guangzhou city in exquisite and beautiful European-style carriages.There was a silver butterfly mask on the carriage, and a deacon wearing a tall black hat, black gloves and black tuxedo drove the carriage, while the performers on the carriage performed in a small space.This wonderful performance attracted the applause and applause of the people in Guangzhou City.

Huo Wencai followed the floating crowd behind the puppet circus.

Among the crazy crowd, the sense of disobedience became even stronger.These people are crazy and possessed.Huo Wencai looked at the expressions on the faces of the people chasing the puppet circus, and the expressions of these people shocked him.

What kind of magical power does the puppet circus have to make them obsessed to such an extent.

Huo Wen couldn't help turning his eyes to the performers on the carriage.Magician, hypnotist, animal trainer... just looked at Huo Wen and suddenly laughed foolishly.He stretched out his hand and waved like the people around him and shouted, "Okay!"

Huo Wencai followed behind the team and became as excited as the people around him clapping and applauding.

"Master, master." The puppet called Huo Wencai, but Huo Wencai ignored him. He knew that Huo Wencai was "bewitched" like the people around him, so he jumped off Huo Wencai's body and slipped out.

The animal trainer Sarana Arnold on the carriage showed a strange smile when he saw Huo Wencai, and a green snake the size of a little finger in her hand quietly climbed down from her hand and slowly approached Huo Wencai through the noisy crowd. moving forward.The green snake burrowed into Huo Wencai's body silently, and when the green snake climbed up to Huo Wencai's neck and opened its mouth to expose its sharp teeth, it bit down on Huo Wencai's neck with one hand. The Qicun holding the green snake pinched it and threw it to the ground.

"Patroll Huo." Zhang Jue reached out and patted Huo Wencai on the shoulder.Huo Wencai, who was disturbed, saw that it was Zhang Jue and excitedly said to Zhang Jue: "It's Zhang Jue, look, their performance is really amazing!"

Huo Wen, who was following behind the circus, pointed to the circus and said, he didn't know where they would get blocked wherever they went.

Zhang Jue stepped forward to synchronize with Huo Wencai. Sarana Arnold's eyes flashed displeasure when he saw Zhang Jue pinched her snake to death, but he didn't show it on his face.

The team continues to move forward, and the team is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball.

"Yes, they are really powerful." Zhang Jue said in agreement, it is really extraordinary to be able to confuse and control the people in the entire city of Guangzhou.The other party is not a ghost or a demon, I really want to know how they did it.

"I'm willing to do anything for the puppet circus!" Huo Wen blurted out unconsciously.

This is really a big deal.Zhang Jue kept his expression on his face, but his heart was full of turmoil.He reached out and grabbed Huo Wencai's hand: "Inspector Huo, I have something to do, can you help me?"

"What's the matter?" Huo Wen struggled but couldn't break free, his eyes continued to stick to the puppet circus and shouted excitedly: "Good! Good! Wonderful!"

"I lost something at home recently, how about Patrolman Huo help me find it?" Zhang Jue stopped and smiled while pulling Huo Wen.

Huo Wencai was forced to stop, a flash of puzzlement and confusion flashed in his eyes, and he said to Zhang Jue: "You go to the patrol police who are on duty during the day."

"No, only you can find this thing for me." Zhang Jue said.

Seeing the puppet circus getting farther and farther in front of his eyes, Huo Wen was a little anxious. He struggled to break free, but couldn't break free.Huo Wencai said in a low voice: "You let go, they are leaving!"

Seeing that Huo Wencai was obsessed with obsession, Zhang Jue stretched out his hand to knock Huo Wencai unconscious, and then reached out to catch Huo Wencai who fell down. After that, the puppet quietly returned from Zhang Jue's body to Huo Wencai.

People chasing the puppet circus passed by, leaving only Zhang Jue half-kneeling and hugging Huo Wen before he collapsed...

When the troupe of puppet circus passed by Jinjiang Restaurant, Chen Suisheng and Wei Zong looked down from the window, and saw that the troupe was really spectacular, even more spectacular than when the City God was on tour.

Chen Suisheng drank tea and looked at the noisy scene downstairs and said: "This circus has some skills."

Wei Zong looked interested, and he said: "If they are really a ghost circus, I would like to know where the wealth they looted is even more."

After hearing his words, Chen Suisheng's face twitched, he was too lazy to answer Wei Zong's words and continued to watch the spectacular procession downstairs.

Huo Wen woke up in a daze. He was a little dazed when he saw Zhang Jue and the place where he was.

"Wake up, get up and eat something." Zhang Jue said.

"What's wrong with me? How come I'm here?" Huo Wen rubbed his head, why was he lying in the restaurant and fell asleep.Because he was going on a mission at night, and this mission was related to the puppet circus, so he followed the circus patrolling the street, and then... ah, what happened then?Why can't I remember at all?

Zhang Jue saw that Huo Wencai had woken up and was fine, so he ordered dinner with Huo Wencai.Zhang said to Huo Wencai: "Lantern found me and said you were bewitched, so I came to look for you."

After hearing Zhang Jue's words, Huo Wen was startled when he thought of those people who were chasing the puppet circus madly.

"The circus people didn't know what method they used to confuse you, and they almost killed you..." Zhang Jue told what Huo Wencai had just experienced.After it was over, Huo Wen broke out in a cold sweat. If the puppet hadn't gone to Zhang Jue to look for him, he might have died.

Fortunately, there is Zhang Jue, fortunately, there is Zhang Jue.

"Lucky to have you." Huo Wencai's trusting eyes made Zhang Jue sigh inwardly.In front of Zhang Jue, Huo Wen felt that there was nothing worth hiding, and Wei Zong also passed on the information about the puppet circus to Zhang Jue. Zhang Jue would definitely come forward tonight.

After hearing Huo Wen reveal Wei Zong's plan for tonight, Zhang Jue has nothing to worry about.

Wei Zong is ruthless.

As for Huo Wencai, with his skill, he will be fine.

It was rare to have another meal with Zhang Jue, and Huo Wen just gobbled it up. The amount of food in his stomach was comparable to that of Wei Zong.After eating, Huo Wencai hurriedly returned to Lantern Street, changed into a patrol uniform and rushed to the police station to go out with Wei Zong on missions.

The clock struck six o'clock in the afternoon.The patrol officers from the Police Department dispatched collectively to the city, and Huo Wencai and Yu Xian went to the Haizhu Theater to stand by.

Yu Xian led people to patrol near Haizhu and then led people to lurk near Haizhu Theater.Puppet Circus performances from [-]:[-] p.m. to midnight.At seven o'clock, the dignitaries who received the invitation went to the Haizhu Theater one after another to watch a play. These people are all powerful, rich and powerful in Guangzhou City, and anyone who stands out at random is a well-known figure in Guangzhou City. .

Not only the dignitaries from Guangzhou City came tonight, but also the foreigners from Shamian Island.

Wei Zong went in with Chen Suisheng, and he also saw Tang Manzhu go in with Master Tie on his arm.It was almost eight o'clock when Huo Wen saw Zhang Jue go in alone.Huo Wencai took out the doll from his pocket and said to him, "Go and accompany Zhang Jue."

"Okay." Saying that, the puppet sneaked in while taking advantage of the darkness.

When the bell tower of Guangzhou City rang eight o'clock, the puppet circus performance officially began.
