Chapter 242: The Magic Troupe
“Magic?”
“Clown?”
Director Bai Xiajie chewed these words slowly, frowning deeply got up.
“Qi Bureau, you may not know that in recent years, our Longtan City has been known as the hometown of magic!”
"A few years ago, the trend of cosplaying clowns and studying magic started among young people. Even my daughter is very interested in these two aspects!"
"So, are you sure this is not a coincidence? "
"After all, playing cards are so common in our city of Longtan. They have ranked first in the national poker purchase list for several years in a row. There are even several factories that produce playing cards in our city. Build a factory nearby. "
The woman's words not only failed to dispel Qi Sui's doubts, but made him pay more attention to this clue.
You must know that the ultimate goal of gods is faith.
And faith must have a large-scale population audience!
"Bai Ju, since there are no other good clues now, I think we should start the investigation from the magic clown I met today!" Qi Sui emphasized his tone and expressed his judgment.
Bai Xiajie nodded and said: "Okay, you are the appointer of this national mission. What we have to do is to fully support all your actions!"
"I am Longtan. The power of the Municipal National Security Bureau can be used by you!”
“Thank you, Bureau Bai, please give me a copy of these materials today!”
Qi Sui stood up and commanded resolutely: "Then send your people to the Petroleum Heavy Industry Family Home to investigate the nearby surveillance videos and see if they can find out the clown this afternoon!"
"Okay! , I will let them do it now!" Bai Xiajie nodded.
After discussing the business matters, the atmosphere in the venue became relaxed.
With a smile on her face, the woman said: "Qi Bureau, you haven't eaten yet when you come here this time. I have prepared a dinner for you at the hotel next to you. After dinner, have a good night's rest and start again tomorrow. It’s not too late to investigate!”
“Then I’ll trouble you!”
Qi Sui rubbed his stomach and felt that he was indeed hungry.
“We are all a family, what kind of polite words can we say!”
Bai Xiajie’s attitude is quite enthusiastic.
Everyone simply packed up their things, followed the woman, and drove to a nearby five-star luxury hotel.
The standard of the dinner was extremely high.
Qi Sui didn't know much about this kind of thing, so he just opened his stomach and stuffed it into his mouth.
Many of the foods here are very precious, produced in various secret places, and supplemented by the superb cooking techniques of the chefs, they taste extremely delicious.
Some leaders of Longtan City Guoan stood up and toasted Qi Sui.
In this regard, Qi Sui will not refuse anyone who comes.
With his current physical condition, drinking this thing is not much different from drinking plain water.
The dinner lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.
Qi Sui did not continue running, so he stayed in this hotel. Bai Xiajie arranged for him the top-floor King’s Exclusive Suite. It is said that staying there for one night costs hundreds of thousands. Xia coins.
“This feeling of status is quite comfortable!”
After taking a bath, Qi Sui was relieved of his fatigue.
Wearing a white bathrobe and holding a glass of red wine, he stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, where he could have a panoramic view of the entire Longtan City.
"The lights at night can largely reflect the prosperity of a city!"
"Although Longtan is a city, it feels not as good as some counties around Tianfu City."
Qi Sui felt a little emotional.
However, what he was thinking more about was that under this peaceful night, there lurked mysterious forces that seriously threatened the security of civilization.
"Joker..."
He frowned and drank the red wine in the glass.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door and a woman's soft voice.
"Hello dear distinguished guest, we will provide you with massage service on the 32nd!"
The service is so comprehensive?
Qi Sui was stunned for a moment, walked over and opened the door. Standing outside the door was a beautiful woman about twenty years old, wearing a sexy loose cheongsam, with fair skin, a plump figure, and a A rare and pure temperament of books.
The woman was also a little stunned. She didn't expect that the big man serving tonight would be so young.
I was surprised but also a little happy.
After all, Qi Sui's body and muscles are a bit scary, but he is still fair and fair, at least not ugly. If something happens to him, it won't be torture.
“Come in!”
Qi Sui gets out of the way.
Women should have received special training, and their speech and behavior should be very standard and elegant.
"VIP, please lie down on the bed first, and I will massage you!"
"Okay!"
Qi Sui lay lazily on the bed.
He could feel the woman standing under him, her soft little hands repeatedly stroking his big feet. Her fingers were very dexterous and full of power. Every acupuncture point on the feet could be massaged in place. Not That kind of display.
"Dignified guest, how do you feel about your strength?"
"If possible, you can use more force!"
"Okay!"
The woman exerts force with her fingertips, Let the heat penetrate into the acupuncture points, relieving the fatigue of a day's journey.
Ten minutes later, the foot massage ends.
The woman also climbed onto the bed and began to massage various acupuncture points on her body.
She should have practiced martial arts, and her hand strength is not comparable to that of ordinary women.
“Comfortable!”
Qi Sui squinted his eyes, enjoying the first-class service.
Being busy for a full hour.
The massage service is finally over.
Beads of sweat appeared on the young woman's forehead, and her breathing became a bit rapid. The muscles on this VIP's body were too hard, and she had to use all her strength every time to get the massage in place.
After one service, the calories consumed are no less than running a marathon.
"VIP, your massage service is over. If you think it was good, please give me a five-star rating!"
"No problem!"
Qi Sui flicked his finger, and a silver card flew into the woman's arms: "Here is your tip!"
Although he does not often experience this kind of service, he still understands some of the unspoken rules.
The woman held the silver card, her smile on her pretty face became brighter, and she asked in a very ambiguous tone: "VIP, do you need to add a clock?"
"What clock should be added? ”
Qi Sui looked over with some doubts.
The woman's expression was as usual, she looked at her without shyness and said, "If you add more time, I can completely belong to you tonight and let you get a more complete release!"
Hearing this, Qi Sui immediately Come to your senses.
"No need, you can go out, I want to rest!"
Although the yang energy in his body is very strong, he is not so hungry that he is not selective about food.
“Okay, distinguished guest! I will show you the door!”
There was no trace of the embarrassment of being rejected on the woman's face. After packing her things, she bent down and bowed before leaving in high heels.
The house became quiet again.
"Sleep!" Qi Sui stretched his muscles to relax, adjusted the air conditioner to "12℃", and then got into bed. Just as he was about to turn off the lights, an idea suddenly emerged.
He took out his phone, clicked on the chat box with "Gu Xiyue", and edited the message.
"Baby Xiaoyue!"
Almost instantly, a big "?" was sent over.
"Are you here in Longtan City? Is there no problem with my sister's safety?"
"Don't worry, my Gu family's housekeeper will take her to and from get off work, no one dares to do anything to her Let’s do it!”
“That’s okay, can you tell me your semester homework?”
"Sent to you!"
A file was sent.
Qi Sui clicked on it and browsed it quickly, feeling a little relieved.
The girl’s semester assignment is to capture several alien species that escaped from a nearby secret place. It has nothing to do with clowns or magic.
However, for safety reasons, he still replied: "Longtan City is not peaceful during this period. Please be more careful and contact me in time if you encounter any danger!"
There was no news from the girl.
Qi Sui did not continue to send messages and put his phone on the bedside table.
Turn off the lights and quickly fell asleep.
……
The next day.
The Longtan City National Security Bureau acted quickly.
The surveillance video near the home of the family members of the Petroleum Heavy Industry was collected overnight, and then along the trajectory of the clown leaving in the video, he finally found his hiding place in an ordinary community.
Hear the news.
Qi Sui was a little disappointed.
Being caught on surveillance video shows that this clown is most likely not related to the previous incident.
However, he came to the bureau immediately.
Under the leadership of Bai Xiajie, he met this man in the interrogation room. He looked very young, less than twenty years old. He had some acne on his face. He must have been applying paint for a long time. caused.
“Why are you arresting me?”
“Am I also breaking the law as a COS clown? I am bringing happiness to everyone, so can your National Security Bureau arrest people randomly?”
The young man kept slapping the table and yelling.
Qi Sui opened the door and walked in, his cold eyes falling on the man.
It was like being stared at by a terrifying tiger.
The sense of oppression originating from the life level made the young man's body tremble uncontrollably, and he instantly became quiet.
"Young man, do you still remember me?"
The young man looked at Qi Sui's face, nodded, and said honestly: "I remember, I saw you at the gate of the family home yesterday afternoon. , your figure is so conspicuous, I asked you to help me complete my magic trick!”
"Bureau Qi, this is information about Liu Xin, please take a look at it!"
A staff member walked in with a few pages of information.
Qi Sui browses quickly.
Information shows that this man named Liu Xin has just turned 18 this year and is a sophomore in a private high school in Longtan City. He has never been exposed to martial arts practice and his family background is very ordinary. There is nothing unusual about him. at.
However, Qi Sui still has his own breakthrough ideas.
He sat on the interrogation chair and asked: "Liu Xin, how did you come into contact with COS magic?"
"I..."
Liu Xin opened his mouth. , just as he was about to speak, he saw Qi Sui leaning forward slightly, releasing his tyrannical spiritual power: "Little guy, don't even think about lying to me!"
"I came into contact with him through a large magic performance club. ”
“It’s called Fate Magic Group”
"About two years ago, my father took me to watch the performance of this magic troupe during my vacation, and then..."
Liu Xin told everything he knew.
"Xi Ming Magic Group?"
Qi Sui looked at Bai Xiajie and said, "Bai Ju, do you know this magic group?"
"I've heard that the Ximing Magic Troupe is the most popular performance club in Longtan City. Its performances have many contents, involving magic, acrobatics, animals, drama and other fields. They are also very famous nationwide. .”
"Tourists from all over the country come to Longtan City every month just to watch their magic show!" Bai Xiajie said.
“That’s it!”
Qi Sui remembered the name “The Fate Magic Group” in his mind and continued to ask: “Where are the playing cards you used for the performance yesterday? ”
“Go back!”
Liu Xin said honestly: “Xi Ming Magic Group has several magic shops under its name, and they have all kinds of magic props. But there is no qualification to buy, only to rent, and that’s where I rented my playing cards!”
"Okay, got it!"
Qi Sui nodded.
Since Liu Xin is an ordinary person, the source of yesterday's weird magic should be that deck of playing cards.
He continued to ask a few more questions. After confirming that Liu Xin had no problem, he stood up and said, "Okay Liu Xin, thank you for cooperating with the investigation. You can leave now!"
"But I'd like to remind you that there may be some weird things hidden in that magic troupe. Don't come into contact with such things again in the future!"
"Okay, okay! Thank you, leader!"
As soon as he heard that he could leave, Liu Xin immediately beamed with joy.
As for the last sentence, he didn't take it to heart at all.
Only by personally coming into contact with fortune-telling magic can one appreciate the greatness contained in it. The satisfaction of being recognized by others through performance is far beyond comparison with other things, even the craftsmanship he once loved most. The feeling of happiness is far less intense than performing.
Bai Xiajie walked in and asked: "Qi Bureau, what should we do next?"
"Prepare people, let's go to the Fateful Magic Troupe!"
"I'm afraid we have to wait a few days. The Fateful Magic Troupe only holds performances at the end of each month, and there are always performances there at other times. It's empty, no one is there!"
"That's it..."
Qi Sui glanced at the time, there were still three days until the end of the month.
“Can I book tickets now?”
Bai Xiajie nodded and said: "Yes, there are performance tickets for sale online. Bureau Qi, do you think there is something wrong with this fate magic troupe?"
"Intuition, no matter what, we can go there, even if No problem, let’s just watch the show!”
“Okay, I’ll book 5 in-field tickets first, and the show will start at 8pm the day after tomorrow and last until 2am the next morning!”
“Okay!”
Qi Sui tapped his fingers on the table and murmured: “During this period, you should collect as much information about the Fate-defying Magic Group as possible, and then summarize it and send it to Me!”
"One more thing, send me the location of the magic shop in Longtan City!"
He simply explained a few words.
Qi Sui walked outside. He took out his mobile phone and a map document was displayed on the screen.
There are eleven magic shops open throughout Longtan City, all marked with red circles.
“Since the magic troupe is not open for the time being, let’s start at the magic convenience store and see if we can find any useful clues.”
Qi Sui chose a magic shop closest to him and walked quickly over.
