Chapter 31 29

Sunday morning was spent searching for Eric in frustration.Will's actions come to a complete standstill. They knew that after the fire in Ohio, the illusionist spent several weeks in the burn center of a local hospital before he quietly left without being discharged.He sold his downtown Las Vegas home shortly thereafter, but there is no further information that he bought another home, according to records.However, Lime judged that in that city where money flooded his feet, anyone could buy a small piece of land in the desert with cash, no one would ask, and there would be no documentation.

Beddy and Saul have found Will's mother-in-law, Ms. Cosgrove, but she doesn't know where the Wills are.After that accident, he never contacted her, and he didn't even send her her daughter's obituary.However, according to her, she wasn't surprised at all.She said Will was a selfish and cruel man who had a crush on her daughter and must have used hypnotism to get her to marry him.Apart from her, none of the other relatives had any contact with Will. Cooper searched Will again through the computer, but found not much information.Neither Felony nor the National Crime Data Center has any records on him, and other sources have revealed nothing new.The police officers in charge of investigating Will's family found that his parents had passed away, and he was an only child, and could not find anyone related to him.

Near noon, another of Will's assistants, ArthurRose called them back from Las Vegas.He was not at all surprised that his former boss would be involved in a major criminal case, and he answered what they knew yesterday: Will is one of the greatest illusionists in the world, but he took his profession too seriously, so he also Known for his dangerous illusions and quick temper.Rose, who is his apprentice, still thinks it was a nightmare. □□□ I said hurt just now, but what I really mean is the shadow, who has been haunting me like a ghost. □□□ All the young assistants are under the influence of Master, Rose told them over the phone: But my psychiatrist said that in Will's case we were all bewitched by him.

Like Kedding, Rhyme thought, they both had psychotherapy. He said we have a Stockholm syndrome relationship with him, you know what that is? Rhyme said he was familiar with the situation: hostages and captors form an intimate bond, even influence and love. When was the last time you saw him?Sachs asked.The promotion assessment test is over, and she is wearing light clothing jeans and a forest green knitted top today. In the burn center of the hospital, that was three years ago.At the beginning, I would visit him regularly, but he kept talking about revenge, revenge on those who hurt him or didn't approve of his magic.Then he disappeared, and I haven't seen him since.

The person who was Will's apprentice also said that Will suddenly called him two months ago.It immediately occurred to Rhyme that Will was calling his other protégé around the same time.The call was received by Rose's wife.He didn't leave a call, only said that he would call again, but he didn't hear anything after that.Thank God.To be honest, if I got the call, I really don't know how to deal with it. Do you know where he is calling from? have no idea.I asked Kath because I was afraid he was coming to my city but she said he didn't tell and there was no calling area number on the phone.

Didn't he tell your wife what he was calling for?Are there any clues to find out where the others are? She said his voice sounded weird, hissing heavily and it was difficult to understand what he was saying.I remember after that fire, it seemed like his lungs were damaged, which made him even more scary. Yes, I think so too.Rhyme thought. He asked if we had heard anything from Edward.The man who was the stage manager of the Hauber Circus at the time of the fire broke out about Kadeschi, and that was all he asked about it. Rose could not provide any useful leads, so they ended the call.

Thomas led the two policewomen into the living room.Sachs nodded to them and introduced them to Rhyme.These two policewomen are Diane.Frank and Nancy.Orson.He remembered that these two people were the policemen who came to the scene to deal with the first murder case yesterday, and later he assigned them to track down the source of the old-fashioned handcuffs. Diane said: We interviewed everyone on the advice of the businessman and the curator.Both of their uniforms were worn out, and both the tall brunette and the shorter blond looked exhausted.It appears that they did take the task seriously, and probably stayed up all night.

The handcuffs were Derby style, as you might think, Nancy said: they were rare and expensive.We did, however, put together a list of twelve people who Oh my gosh, look!Diane points to the witness board, and the focus falls on a clue Thomas had written. ．Suspect identity: Eric.Will Nancy immediately flipped through the stack of documents in her hand.Eric.Will purchased a pair of the handcuffs by mail order last month from Ridgeway Antique Arms in Seattle. What about the delivery address?Rhyme asked expectantly. It's a PO Box in Denver.We checked, but the lease of this mailbox has expired and there is no record to check.

What about the payment method?Sachs asked. Use of gold.These words came from Nancy and Rhyme at the same time.Rhyme went on: "He's not going to make any stupid mistakes, absolutely impossible.That lead is dead too, but at least we can prove he's the one we're looking for. After Rhyme thanked the two policewomen, Sachs escorted them out of the living room. The phone rang again.The caller's area number looked familiar, but Rhyme couldn't recognize it for a moment.instruction.answer the phone.Hello? Hello, I'm Inspector Lansing of the State Troopers, and I'm looking for Rona.Detective Bell.They gave me this phone number and said it was his temporary headquarters.

Hi Harvey, Bale walked up to the microphone and said: I'm here.He whispered to Rhyme again: It's the Grady case, he's our liaison at Kendon Falls. Lansing continued: I received the evidence you sent here this morning, and now our criminal forensics personnel have begun to study it.We also sent two agents to question Swenson's wife about the pastor you arrested yesterday evening.She said nothing useful, and our men searched his house, but couldn't find any evidence of Constable or any patriotic comrades. nothing?Bell sighed.Really bad.I thought he was the careless type.

Maybe people from the Patriotic Comrades went there first, and cleaned up that place before we did. There's another possibility, man, I think we're a little out of luck.Well, let's keep in touch.Thank you, Harvey. As soon as we have new news, we will definitely inform you immediately. They ended the call. Constable's case was as troublesome as this one.Rona turned his head towards the whiteboard and said. There was a knock at the front door.After a while, Carla walked into the living room with a large cup of coffee. Her face was very haggard, showing a look of fatigue that should not be expected of a person under the age of thirty.Evidently M. Balzac must have squeezed hours of extra time out of her to punish her for assisting Rhyme and the task force. Sellitto was in the middle of delivering a speech about new weight loss technology, but he was interrupted by another phone call. Lincoln?A man's voice came from the loudspeaker.I'm Beddy.We've narrowed down the hotels that use that key to three.spent so much time Another voice cut in.That's his partner, Thor.Our research found that many monthly or long-term lodging hotels also use this key. There are also those rest hotels that count by the hour, but that is another matter entirely. We must find them all.Finally, we have the result.The key could be, and I say could be, the Chelsea Hotel, the Beckman Hotel, and which one? Lan Hang Anse Hotel.said his partner. That's right.These are the only forty-two keys in this color.We are currently at the Beckman Hotel, at Thirty-fourth Street and Fifth Avenue.Now we are ready to give it a try. What do you mean try it out?Rhyme asked. How should I say it?Beddy or Saul said hesitantly: the key works on one side, but not on the other. What's the meaning?Rhyme asked again. Is such that.Only the lock key socket on the door of the hotel room can identify this kind of key, but not at the counter.The machine at the counter can only burn the code into the blank key, but there is no way to tell you which room the burned key belongs to. Why not?It's just unbelievable. Because no one wants to know. Except us, of course.So, we are going to try this key one by one now. This is too suffocating!Rhyme growled. You spoke out how we felt.said one of them. Sellitto asks: Well, do you want me to send some extra men over there? No.We can only try one door at a time, nothing else works. Hello, two?Bell said into the microphone. Say it, Rona. We hear your voice. You mentioned Lan Hang Anse, where is that hotel? On East Seventy-fifth Street, near Lexington Avenue. I think the name is very familiar, but I can't remember it for a while. This place is our second best. After trying the Beckman Hotel, go there. There are six hundred and eighty-two rooms in all, and we'd better get started right away. They wrap up their conversation so the twin detectives can begin their daunting task. Cobb's computer beeped, an email came in, and he read it right away.It was the FBI labs in Washington who finally got the report on the brass shards in the magician's gym bag.According to the marks on them, they said, they corresponded to a kind of clockwork mechanism. That's not the clock, Rhyme said, obviously. how do you know?Bell asked. That's the detonator.Sachs said seriously. I mean exactly that.Lyme said. Petrol bomb?Cobb asked, nodding at Will's memento of the hand towel from last night, which had been soaked in gasoline. possible. He has plenty of gasoline and is so fascinated by fire.He's going to burn the next victim. Like what almost happened to him. □□□ The fire murdered him, so to speak, murdered his old self so that he might feel more comfortable murdering someone; it would reduce the anxiety that the anger had built up in him. □□□ Rhyme noticed that it was almost twelve o'clock, and it was already noon when the next victim was about to face death.But when will he commit the crime?Is it twelve past one?Is it still four o'clock?A shudder of frustration and anger rose from the depths of his brain before fading into his unconscious body.They had to move, they had to find out where Will was planning his attack.Their time is running out. Maybe, there is no time at all. However, based on the evidence clues known so far, he could not infer any results.He felt that today passed extremely slowly, as slowly as an intravenous drip. A faxed document came in.Cobb read it right away.It's from the paper lab in Queens, they've opened the paper in the Mazda.There is no note on it, and there is no circled place.News headlines from newspapers are here.He taped the facsimile on the whiteboard. □□□ Police shut down for four hours due to power outage Republican convention in New York City Rows from parents over safety shortages at girls' school National Army conspiracy murder case to open Monday MetSports Weekend raises funds for charities Spring Fun for All Ages The governor and mayor met to discuss the new west district plan □□□ One of them must have special significance.Lyme said.But which one?Gangsters targeting girls' school?Or locked in the holiday event?Could the sudden power outage at the police station be caused by him going there to experiment with some new device?Rhyme's frustration grows. Although they have new evidence, the answer is just as mysterious. Sellitto's cell phone rang.He picked up the phone and everyone looked at him nervously, expecting something bad to happen.The time now is one past three.The time has entered the afternoon, and it has entered the moment when the gangsters start to kill. Fortunately, the phone call apparently wasn't bad news.Sellitto raised his eyebrows in surprise and joy, and said into the phone: Great, really?Well, it's not far from here, can you come over here?He gave the address of Rhyme's residence to the person on the other end of the line, and then cut off the call. Who is calling? Edward.Kadeschi, the manager of the circus in Ohio where Will was burned.He happens to be in New York right now, and he has received our message, and he is coming over to talk to us now. The man was stocky, of medium build, with a gray beard and wavy hair. Since Will's surprise visit last night, Rhyme has become a little nervous now.He is with Edward.After Kadesky greeted him, he asked for his identity to be checked. Never mind.Sellitto said the trouble was necessary because the suspect could have been dressed as anyone. Kadesky was a little annoyed that he rarely met someone who didn't know him, let alone ask him to show his ID, but he obeyed and handed Sellitto his Illinois driver's license.Mel carefully compared the photo with the producer in front of him, then nodded to Lime.He had already connected to the Illinois State Prosecutor's Office just now, and called up the details of this driver's license, which also had a photo of this person on it, and confirmed that this person's identity was correct. You left a message saying that you and Eric.Will you want to ask me something about that?Kadeschi said.His eyes were as piercing as an eagle's, revealing a domineering look. That's right. So he's still alive? Rhyme was immediately discouraged by the man's question; it meant that Kadeski seemed to know less than they did. Rhyme said: He is alive and well, and he is also a suspect in several murders in New York City. No way!Who did he kill? Several citizens, as well as a police officer, Sellitto said: We would like some information from you to help us find him. I haven't heard from him since that fire.Do you guys know about that? I probably know a little bit, Sachs said: You can talk about it carefully. You know what he must have hated me for that was three years ago.Will and his assistants do illusions and drag shows in our circus.Hey, they are really good.It should be said, too good to be amazing.But we have also been complaining for months, both from our colleagues on stage and from the audience below.Will scares the audience, he's like a solo tester, and all his assistants are infatuated by him.Illusion was like a religion to him, and we all called his assistants believers. People were often injured during Will's rehearsals or official performances, even the audience who volunteered to go on stage.But Will doesn't care at all, he thinks there must be a little danger in order for magic to be perfect.He said that magic is like a branding iron, which will be deeply burned into your soul.The producer laughed darkly.But in today's entertainment business, that notion can't possibly be accepted, right?So me and Sidney.Koehler, he was the owner of the circus, discussed it and decided we had to fire him.So, one Sunday morning, I called the stage manager to ask him to walk before the matinee. Was it the day the fire broke out?Rhyme asked. Kadesky nodded.The manager found out that Will was setting up the stage, using lots of propane rope, for a flaming mirror scene.The manager told him our decision, but Will ignored him and pushed the manager off the stage to continue setting up his show.So I rushed up to the stage and he grabbed me.We didn't really fight each other, we just had some serious clucking and shoving.But then a propane line came loose.We hit an iron chair and I guess there was a little spark on impact that ignited the gasoline.He was badly burned, while his wife was burned to death.The entire circus tent was destroyed.We discussed suing him, but he slipped out of the hospital and was never seen again. We know he's been charged with public danger once in New Jersey, do you know if he's been arrested anywhere else?Rhyme asked. have no idea.Kadesky shook his head.I really shouldn't have hired him, but if you've seen him perform, you can see why I did.He was the best of the bunch, and audiences might be intimidated, even abused, by him, but they paid for a ticket to see him.You really should have heard the applause.The producer glanced at his watch, the time was one forty-five.I'm sorry, but my show starts in fifteen minutes. I think you'd better send some more police cars over there.Now that Will is haunting the neighborhood, anything can happen between us. Where are you going?Rhyme asked. Go where my show plays.He turned his head in the direction of Central Park. That's your show?Fantasy circus? That's right.I thought you all knew it, didn't you send a police car to park there, you should know that the Fantastic Circus is the former Hausburg and Koehler Brothers Circus. What?Sellitto asked. Rhyme glanced at Kara, who shook her head quickly.I called Monsieur Balzac last night, but he didn't tell me about it. After that fire, Kadeschi said: We reorganized.In view of the success of Cirque du Soleil that year, I asked Sidney.Koehler suggested taking the route they used to take.So, after we got the insurance claim, we established the Fantastic Circus. Rhyme said: So, in fact, this circus is the same circus that Will was expelled from. Basically so to speak.Although there are some changes in the program, those people are rolling in this industry.I Bad, bad, bad.Rhyme murmured, staring at the evidence list. What's the matter, Lincoln?Sellitto asked. This is the motivation for Will's appearance, and he announced loudly that his goal is the circus Fantasy Circus. What? His gaze remained on the evidence sheet, looking for clues that fit this hypothesis. Finally, Rhyme nodded affirmatively.dog! What?Sachs asked. fuck the dog!Look at the evidence list, and see for yourself!Animal hair from Dog Hill and dirt from Central Park!Just outside the window.He shook his head vigorously forward.He wasn't on the trail to watch Jolie.Instead, Maslai was observing the circus.That newspaper, the one I found in the Mazda!Check out the headline above: Spring entertainment for all ages.Call the newspaper quickly to see if the story has something to do with the Fantastic Circus.Thomas, call Peter!hurry up! The caregiver had a good friend who was a reporter for the New York Times and had helped them a lot in the past.Thomas picked up the phone and called the newspaper, although Peter.Hortings was a reporter for the International News Department, but he had the answers for them in a few minutes.He told Thomas the content of the headline, and he relayed it to everyone: the main character of this report is the circus, and all the details are written out, including performance time, program content, actor introduction, and even a special A little tidbit about safety measures. Damn it!Rhyme yelled: He's gathering information and what about the pass?Allow him to walk freely backstage.Rhyme narrowed his eyes and stared at the evidence list.Have!I get it now.What do those victims represent?It's a job in a circus.A make-up artist, an equestrian jockey, and the first victim?Yes, she is a student, but what is a part-time job?It's the one who sings and amuses the kids like a clown in a circus or someone who opens up the show. As for the methods used in the murder, Sachs points out that they are all magic tricks. That's right, he has his eye on your circus.Terry.Dubailin said his motive was final revenge.Hell, he must have planted a petrol bomb in your theater. my god!Kadesky exclaimed, there were two thousand people in there!And the show will start in ten minutes!The show starts at two o'clock in the afternoon It was a Sunday matinee, Rhyme said again: exactly the same as it was three years ago in Ohio. Sellitto grabbed the Motorola radio and called the two police officers stationed at the circus gate.No one responded.He frowned and dialed a number on Rhyme's phone instead. I'm Constable Koslowski.After a while, a man answered the phone. After Sellitto identified himself, he yelled at the phone: Why is your radio off? radio?Oh, because we're off duty, Inspector. What duty do you have?Aren't you still on duty? That's right, someone informed us that we can end our guard duty. What? Half an hour ago, a police detective came to inform us that there was no need to monitor the place anymore, and that we could go on vacation for the rest of the time.I'm taking my family to Rockaway Beach right now, but I Describe what that person looks like. About fifty, with a beard and brown hair. Where did he go? have no idea.He came up to our car, showed his badge, and we left. Sellitto jerked the phone away.It really happened oh my god it really happened.He yelled at Sachs: Quickly notify the Sixth Bureau, and ask the members of the anti-explosion team to come over immediately.After speaking, he himself immediately called the headquarters and asked the emergency response team and the fire brigade to dispatch to the location of the fantasy circus immediately. Kadesky ran to the gate.I'm going to evacuate the tents. Bell said he was in the process of contacting the emergency medical team to set up a makeshift burn and scald center at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.More plainclothes detectives were to be sent to the park, Rhyme said: the more the merrier.I have a feeling the sorcerer must be staying nearby to watch. can you?Sellitto asked. He would stay and watch the fire start, and he would stay very close.I remember the way he looked at the flames in my bedroom.He likes to watch the fire, and he will never miss this grandest event. □□□ magician Music school crime scene ．Description of the suspect's appearance: brown hair, fake beard, no obvious features.Age: about fifty years old.Medium build, medium height.The ring finger and little finger of the left hand are glued together.Can quickly change clothes to look like an elderly, balding co-worker. ．The motive for the killing is unknown. ．Victim: Svetlana.Lasnikhov.Full-time student at a music school.We are checking family, friends, classmates and colleagues, looking for possible clues.
