Christmas Eve, 2006.

Perhaps in our country, Christmas is not valued, but in Western countries, Christmas has special significance.

On this day, relatives and friends gather together for a sumptuous dinner, then sit around the burning stove, play the piano and sing, and talk about life. Then when it comes to sleep at night, the children start pretending to sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to arrive...

However, not everyone lives like this, at least for Jason Frank, the meaning of Christmas is to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Yes, he is a thief and a robber. Other people's holidays are his working days. Others rest at home, and even homeless people will gather together at this time, but he is trying hard to make money outside... How professional quality is.

But no matter who, what status, everyone will have expectations and miss Christmas... After all, we have all been through our childhood.

Jason Frank hasn't been home for many years, and his memory of his elderly mother gradually blurred.

"It's so cold this winter..." The cold wind kept stinging Jason's nerves and woke him up from his beautiful fantasy. Christmas is the same thing for him as usual.

Jason shrank, tightened his hood and mask, and shuttled through the snowy streets, searching for the target.

"It seems... can only go and steal..." Jason murmured to himself and prepared for the plan, his eyes suddenly noticed a figure not far away. "There are people wandering around the street like me... walking with each other?" While sighing, he sneaked over there. It seemed that even if he was walking with each other, Jason would not plan to let go.

As the saying goes, the night gave me black eyes, and it was just right for me to use it to do something shameful... Years of professional habits have made Jason adapt to the darkness. When he was less than ten meters away from the figure, Jason saw the man clearly.

The owner of the shadow is a clown selling balloons.

The blood-red balloon in his hand was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Jason, who was preparing to go over and rob, was ready to rob, with a try and not get pregnant, suddenly stopped.

"Man, do you want a balloon?"

The clown turned his head and looked in the direction where Jason was, showing a creeping smile.

"This guy..." Jason gasped, and he looked at the clown walking towards him, instinctively fearing... If he wanted to say why, he didn't know, when the clown in a funny and bulky costume was getting closer and closer to him, Jason had already started running back.

"Man, do you want a balloon?"

The clown's sharp voice sounded in his ears again. Jason joined the track and field team in high school and was still confident in running, but what he didn't expect was that the clown in bulky clothes kept following him at a distance of not too far!

"Don't, don't come here!" Jason yelled.

"Why? I just want to sell a balloon." The clown revealed sadness in his tone, and then anger. "Everyone is afraid of me..."

The clown's twisted face suddenly appeared in front of Jason. Before Jason could even scream, Jason was pinched by the clown's throat, and the force was so strong that it was about to suffocate.

"Ah...ahh..." Jason struggled desperately, and finally squeezed out a few words to answer the clown, "I...I'm not... afraid of you, let me down..."

"Really?" The clown's strength relaxed a little.

"real!"

The clown let go of him, happily put his arm on Jason's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Then... I'll show you my true face... If you lied to me, you would die miserably..."

The next day, the police found the body that was "harmonious".

"...What is a corpse that is harmonious?" Xing Xiaolou looked at Lin Tianxiang with a slanted look and asked with a grudge.

"It's just too bloody, it can't be described." Carroll, who was sitting next to her, replied enthusiastically.

It is now at 2:00 p.m. on January 28th. Lin Tianxiang, Xing Xiaolou, Yan Yurou and Sherlock Holmes are gathering in the sparsely populated Starbucks to discuss the case.

As for the others... they have returned to China because there is nothing to do.

"This is the first case, and it is also a case where the truth has not been found out..." Lin Tianxiang sipped Cappuccino and then said, "From then on, terrifying incidents about clowns have begun to occur in various states in the United States... Of course, most of them are just imitation."

In addition to making up the number of words, the main thing to talk about these details is to explain the case for Xing Xiaolou who stayed with Lin Tianxiang. Of course, because there are too many crimes, I focused on choosing a few special ones.

On February 4, 2007, when a driver was driving on the highway, the sound of a light bulb horn sounded in his ears (the toy that clown likes to hold in his hands, which makes a horn sound when he pinched it). At first he thought it was an illusion, but then he would hear it every time he passed... Just when he felt inexplicable, he noticed a clown sitting in the passenger seat...

On June 16 of the same year, people found a clown standing there waving downwards on the head of the Statue of Liberty... When and how did he get up?

Clown incidents are becoming more and more frequent, and some young people who are dying have also begun to look for clowns. On the 29th of the same month of the same year, at 10 o'clock in the evening, a group of young men drove to meet a clown standing in the middle of the road, and the clown was still holding a chainsaw in his hand... In a panic, Bill, who was driving, directly stepped on the accelerator and ran over... But the clown got up from the ground and began to chase the car with sharp laughter... Later, they disappeared until now.

"If you want to say that the group is more likely to commit crimes..." Xing Xiaolou felt that he had said nonsense, and everyone sitting in the room was more familiar with the situation than her. "But... what's the reason for them to do this?"

"Since even Abraham attaches great importance to it, it must be related to politics, right?" Lin Tianxiang sighed. "The main problem now is that the scope is too large and it is difficult to buy, unless you are lucky enough to meet one."

...This kind of thing cannot be said to be lucky, right? Do you think you are fighting rare monsters! Xing Xiaolou complained silently in his heart.

Suddenly, Carol slapped up from the seat suddenly. Just as everyone thought she was thinking about something, she shouted at the top of her voice: "Waiter! Where is my Parfil?!!"

"I said... this is not the point, right? Miss Carol..." Xing Xiaolou whispered, "And... I always feel that we are too eye-catching..."

"Nonsense." Lin Tianxiang replied, "Who told you to pretend to be ugly? From the moment I entered the door, I was cut into pieces by the sight of a male passerby."

"I'm really sorry..." Xing Xiaolou said without sincerity. Considering that he is a public figure now, this group of people is the strictest disguise. "Since that's the case, why do you still pull us out? Wouldn't it be nice to be in the apartment?"

Let me explain here that they are in Las Vegas at this moment, where the Jokers are most frequent.

"Well, it's rare to come here, and there are a bunch of beauties with you. How a pity if you don't pull it out for a walk?" Lin Tianxiang replied shamelessly, "Go to the casino tonight?"
