"However, in order for our performance to go smoothly, can you answer some questions for me? You see, we can't perform an incomplete script, right?" The acrobat still maintained a relatively gentle tone.
"Of course, yes, we need a performance. What do you need to know, Mike?" Spider recovered from his fear.
"Where did you find this playbill in the first place?"
"Yes, the one in the front hall, on the little round table at the foot of the stairs."
"Is this the only one?"
"Yes, the bill was right there in the middle of the table."
"You're the first one here, aren't you?"
"Yes, Violetta was the first to arrive, then you, Mike, then Mr. Clown and Margaretha, and finally Muro and the three detectives." Spider pointed to Conan and the other two who were still sitting at the dining table.
The acrobat nodded, and Conan had a new question for Spider: "Sister Valletta, who brought you to this manor?"
"It's Mr. Jack, but Mr. Jack is not the organizer. Mr. Jack said that as long as Violetta can complete the performance, Violetta can really go on stage and become an actor!"
The spider seemed very excited, which made Conan a little sad, because Conan thought that the so-called going on stage was most likely just Jack's words to coax the spider.
"Um, does anyone have any questions? If not, Violetta needs to hurry up and rehearse."
"Okay, Violetta, maybe we can start rehearsing together tomorrow," the acrobat said, standing up.
"Great! Tomorrow! Then Violetta will get ready right away."
After saying this, Spider quickly left the restaurant, leaving only the acrobat, the wild man and Conan in the restaurant.
The acrobat was a little confused. "Sorry, everyone, if the hidden content in that performance sheet isn't some kind of clue, I think we're still clueless."
The Savage comforted him, "It's okay, Mike. Except for Sergey, all of us are here. You will definitely find out the truth this time."
"You just mentioned that the murderer was a man in black. Don't you have any more specific information?" Toru Amuro rested his hands on the dining table.
The acrobat shook his head. "I asked the police at the time, but they didn't reveal as much information as Zerai did. I don't understand. If Zerai really saw the man in black enter the tent, why didn't the murderer kill him to silence him?"
"Maybe Natalie jumped into the river to escape the moment she saw the murderer. I remember she was a girl from a fishing village and was a good swimmer." The savage explained.
"Hmph, she's lucky to have managed to survive the turbulent river." The acrobat complained.
"You don't have to say that, Mike. After all, Natalie suffered a lot under Sergey. She..."
"Well, Muro, she's just that kind of woman, vain and timid. She often throws tantrums and goes to the captain to complain about Serge. Ever since she came here, our home has been in vain!"
Conan and the other two were stunned for a moment. After all, this was different from what the savage had said before. In the eyes of the acrobats, the dancers seemed to be the ones who destroyed the acrobats' stable lives.
The Savage scratched his head and signaled to Conan with his eyes that he would explain later.
The acrobat stood up and left the restaurant. "Muro, I'm going back to my room to sort out the props I brought. They should be useful when the show starts."
"Okay, I should go feed my friends later."
After the acrobats left, the savage explained the acrobats' performance to the three people somewhat helplessly.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you this before. To Mike, the Circus was his home, and his family members were the performers, each with their own role."
The Savage explained with some difficulty: "So, so for him, maybe... maybe he doesn't have much feeling about our experience. He only knows that we are devoting ourselves to our 'home', and he is maintaining this 'home' in his own way."
"So, could you please wait until the real culprit is caught before telling him the truth? I think he needs at least some time to accept it. After all, what he considers 'home' has never been beautiful..."
Seeing the wild man pleading, Amuro Toru and Akai Shuichi both agreed, but Conan had another question: "So when the real murderer is caught, Uncle Muro, what will you do with that person?"
"I think it will be handed over to the police, and then everything will be over. Don't worry that Mike will overreact. He is not the kind of person who is full of hatred and only thinks about revenge." The savage assured Conan.
After saying these words, the savage took his small basket and went out. This time the basket contained some carrots.
It was not until lunchtime that everyone gathered in the restaurant again. The atmosphere between the acrobats and the dancers was still bad, and Spider still had not shown up.
"Is Valletta still rehearsing?" the acrobat asked the savage beside him.
"Probably, but she didn't come to the kitchen this time. Jack and I specially left a lunch for her. She should come over when she feels hungry." The savage replied.
The Crying Clown nodded. "Yes, I put the lunch on the stove to keep it warm. Even if she comes in the evening, she can still have a hot meal. But, Valletta is really working hard."
After the meal, Toru Amuro volunteered to clean up the dishes, and Shuichi Akai followed him, which earned him a roll of the eyes from Toru Amuro.
The two of them were washing dishes in front of the sink, making a clanging sound, as if they were competing with each other. Suddenly, Akai Shuichi's eyes caught sight of an object that was unlikely to appear in the kitchen.
"A saw? Strange, how did it get left here?"
Amuro Toru came closer and said, "There are sawdust on it, probably from sawing firewood. Wait...are there any other traces on it?"
"It seems to be some kind of metal powder."
As the two were studying this somewhat strange saw, they suddenly heard the cries of wild boars and the shouts of savages outside.
"Valletta!"
The sound came from outside. Realizing that something had happened, the two men immediately ran out of the kitchen. Along the way, they heard another shout.
"Mike! Natalie! Jack! Are you there? Come and help!"
When the group arrived at the door, Conan, Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai saw the savage holding the shivering spider and walking with difficulty in the snow. The wild boar leaned against them, providing warmth.
With the help of Toru Amuro and Shuichi Akai, the few of them worked together to carry the spider back into the room. At this time, the acrobats also arrived.
"What happened? Oh my God, Valletta!"
The Savage placed Spider on the bed in Room 1F02 and explained the situation to everyone: "My companions found her in the grove on the west side. Valletta is suffering from severe hypothermia. We need to keep her warm."
"I'll go get some blankets."
The acrobat turned to go out, but ran into the dancer walking towards him.
"What are you doing? What happened to Violetta?" The dancer looked into the room.
"I don't know, but if my companions hadn't kept her warm, Valletta might have frozen to death!" The savage was covering the spider with a blanket.
