Mystery: The Star Key

In the tent of the puppet circus, Ignatius and Connor, the head of the group, were sitting.

There are also the fortune-teller Esme, the trapeze Diana, the trumpeter Starlet, and several members of the group whose work has ended.

They sat together, and the conversation revolved around Igna, who was sitting in the center.

"How are you, Dalot?"

"When I heard the news that Colt and Bendrick died fighting the gangsters, everyone couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that such a thing would happen to us."

"Although those police officers said that Dalot, you were not injured, it was only because you had to assist in the search that you did not come back."

"But we're still very worried about you. We're very, very worried about you."

"Now Dalot, you can come back. Did the murderer catch him?"

"How was the search process? It's the first time I've seen a friend invited by the police to help with the case! How's the food at the police station? Are there any pretty girls?"

Inside the tent, the chatter was so lively. The cramped space and dim lighting did not dampen their enthusiasm.

Ignatius, who was sitting in the center, didn't know who to listen to or what expression to put on.

He never thought that he would bump into the head of the regiment who was returning from a trip on the road, nor did he expect that he would be brought back to the regiment in such a confused way, nor did he expect that so many people would care about him so much.

Everyone's enthusiasm made him feel a little uncomfortable. Before crossing, he had never encountered such a scene.

"Everyone, be quiet." The head of the regiment sitting beside Igna stood up, stretched out his hand and pressed down, and everyone who was busy caring about Igna calmed down.

"Dalot is back, it must be because the murderer has been caught." The head of the regiment laughed.

"Everyone, don't talk all at once. With so many questions, Dalot has only one person. How can he answer them?" The head of the regiment kindly comforted the people present. With him talking, there was finally no more chatter in the tent.

"Also, Dalot is very tired."

"So, we have to give our hero a rest. If you have any questions, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Igna was relieved to hear that the regimental commander was able to speak out for him. Originally, he was only brought back to the regiment because he couldn't open his mouth to reject the regimental leader.

However, later, I don't know what happened, and suddenly a bunch of people came. They also kept talking, without giving him any respite.

Fortunately, the head of the regiment is still very authoritative. Although his words caused everyone present to boo a little, but no one objected.

Except for a little girl with double ponytails lying at his feet.

She had a fleshy face and looked less than seven years old.

"Ah? But, I still have a lot of things I want to ask Big Brother Dalot." Rachel pursed her lips.

She is the only child under the age of 14 in the circus. Although she does not participate in any work in the circus, she is the treasure of everyone in the circus.

"Then Rachel can ask a question." The head of the regiment touched the little girl's head and said.

Rachel stuck her head out, looked at Igna, and asked, "Is that okay? Brother Dalot."

"Of course." Igna looked at Rachel and smiled, he was not willing to refuse such a little angel's request.

Rachel said excitedly: "Then...then, brother Dalot, the murderer who killed brothers Bendrick and Colt, as well as Mr. Parker, has he really been caught?"

This question caused Igna to twitch the corners of his mouth.

This is also what the Nighthawks told him when he left the Nighthawks team.

——Some things are not suitable for ordinary people to know.

Therefore, the Nighthawks made up a statement for this incident that could be accepted by ordinary people.

Bendrick, who was preparing to perform, and Colt encountered the murder scene at Mr. Parker's house. The three of them fought bravely with the murderer. The murderer seriously injured Bendrick and Colt and fled away.

As the only survivor, Igna was left by the Loen Police Station as a witness to help track down the whereabouts of the murderer.

Igna naturally knew the cause of the incident, and also knew that the murderer had been executed on the spot by the Night Watchers.

Lying is not his habit.

Not always.

"Yes." Igna laughed. "He's been caught."

Although he died, he must have been caught before he died.

"Wow, so powerful. Brother Dalot, can you tell us the details? How did he get caught? Did brother Dalot act brave at the time?"

"Rachel, you can only ask one question." The head of the regiment reprimanded.

However, Igna smiled and answered Rachel's question: "You can't tell the details, because Dalot has signed a non-disclosure agreement with the police, and he can't reveal any details of the case."

"But everyone can rest assured that the murderer has been caught, and Conston is still the safe Conston."

"That's good." Someone in the crowd said something. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

"Bendrick and Colt's sacrifices were not in vain." The regimental commander also said in a very low voice.

The surroundings suddenly became silent.

"Well..." Igna nodded and echoed, "Their sacrifices were not in vain."

That's right, some things can really only make him rot in his stomach.

Ordinary people still don't need to know.

"Dalot, can you perform tomorrow... can you perform?" After the crowd had all gone, the last remaining group leader said to Dalot.

When the head of the regiment said this, he was obviously a little nervous.

Igna saw it all, but didn't break it.

After all, according to common sense, Igna, as a "big hero", should let him go to work the next day after coming back.

However, Igna also knows why the head of the regiment has such a request.

He still remembered the circus's financially stretched budget, and the head's patched clothes.

"Yes." Igna smiled and said, "This is my responsibility."

Just now when he was surrounded by everyone in the circus, he figured it out.

He should stay.

Although he didn't know where he should go, he didn't know what he was going to do, let alone how he could get home.

However, compared to going to a "family" that I don't know, or facing a "father" that I don't know at all.

It's better to stay here.

At least here, it's more pure.

Someone needs him.

Someone was worried about him.

Someone was looking forward to his return.

And, the same thing will never happen again.

Even if there is a next time, he will never be so powerless again.
