Chapter 2636 2648 [Arrangement]
Akai Shuichi added: "And I also heard one thing - in the previous bank robbery incident, there was a curly-haired man who was 'brave' and did something righteous. According to the nurses' description, the man was dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, and his shooting skills were amazing."
"!" This time, James finally understood, and a person who impressed him immediately emerged in his mind, "Could it be, could it be the man in black who appeared on the bus that day and looked like Uzo?!"
Shuichi Akai: "That's right. Many members of the organization have another set of occupations and identities in society - do you think he is a magician or a circus member on the surface?"
James: “This…”
It sounds a bit strange, but there seems to be a hint of rationality in it.
But there is a problem.
"You just said that the nurses said he was an excellent shooter?" James said, "He dared to shoot in the hospital, and the police didn't issue a warrant for his arrest?"
Akai Shuichi shook his head: "He used a fake gun that could shoot out paint. The fact that he could easily get this kind of prop is one of the reasons why I guess he is a magician."
James understood: "I will ask someone to investigate the magician in Tokyo. However, smart people can do anything well. If his main job is really a magician, he should not be unknown. But in fact, before you put forward this conjecture, we have never seen him in various reports..."
Shuichi Akai: "Some people learn magic for work, while others do it purely for interest. In any case, magic tricks don't come out of thin air. The guy who looks like Uzo may not have performed on stage, but if he has really studied magic tricks seriously, then as long as we find his master, we will definitely be able to dig out more clues."
James couldn't help but nod his head repeatedly, thinking that he was on the verge of success in exposing Uzo. Suddenly, the smile on his face froze, and the hand that was twisting his beard also stopped: "..." Wait, does this situation look familiar?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is not the first time that they have had the illusion of victory when facing Uzo. Recalling the consequences of having this feeling the previous times...
The sports car washed away by the water, the various high bills, the video of Shuichi Akai slowly falling from the Tokyo Tower with a parachute on his back was everywhere... All these images gathered in his mind. After a moment of silence, James took a deep breath and said calmly: "Your analysis makes sense, but you found out so much information so easily... Is this another trap for you?"
When Akai Shuichi heard the word "again" in his words, his eyes twitched slightly. He shook his head: "This is not information that can be obtained 'simply'. Although things were very simple after arriving at the hospital, it took me a lot of effort to find the 'Mr. Yamada' who never advertised in the newspapers, but..."
Although the FBI ace was very confident, he was not the kind of person who would not listen to advice. After thinking about it, Akai Shuichi had to admit: "But what you said does make some sense."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and fell silent at the same time: the clue was right in front of them, and if they ignored it, they could indeed avoid the trap 100%.
However, this group of FBI came all the way to Tokyo not to avoid danger and live a comfortable and ordinary life... they came to work.
"Let's put it this way." James suddenly had an idea, "You are in a difficult situation. Your ability is actually no worse than anyone else's, but because you are always at the forefront, it is difficult for you to avoid the traps set by Uzo far away."
"This time, I will be the one to investigate." James patted his subordinate's shoulder, "You will be responsible for standing on the high ground to coordinate. When chess players compete, both of them must stand outside the game to be fair."
Akai Shuichi: "Okay."
James: “…Hmm?” Wait, you agree now? You don’t want to be humble and give in? … He was already prepared to persuade him and fight heroically after being rejected, but why didn’t this subordinate follow the routine?
Akai Hideichi glanced at him and said, "This method is indeed feasible, and I am confident that I can protect you."
Hearing him say this, James finally felt more confident. And...
"When I wrote the report last time, those bastards complained that I spent too much money and achieved too little results." James muttered to himself, "It seems that I must show them some results. If you ask me, these people are just talking nonsense. I really should invite them to Tokyo to experience the special flavors here."
The old FBI held his breath, and his work efficiency was much higher than before.
Not long after, James raised his head from the thick materials and came up with an idea.
"Among the magicians who have emerged recently, there is no one who looks like the curly-haired man." James threw the pile of information in front of him away and looked at another pile. "It seems that we have to start investigating these famous magicians who like to recruit apprentices and have many students all over the world."
…
When the FBI was worried about the thick list of magic names.
On the other side, under the same sky, another worker was also worried.
Maya Hashimoto: "The dedicated magician on the theater island... I don't know any magician, where should I start looking for one?"
"By the way, he copied the ancient theater exactly, raised a group of fish that can pull boats to deliver food, and now there's a magician... My boss's creative ideas are as varied as his murder methods."
Hashimoto Maya slumped back in the car seat tiredly. "But think on the bright side. What I'm looking for this time is at least more normal. Magicians are not like fish and theaters. I don't have to look for them myself. As long as I pay enough, they will come to me. If everything goes well, I can get a contract... Well, let's look for them first."
With this in mind, Maya Hashimoto placed an advertisement and offered a very attractive salary.
He waited expectantly for a long time in the midst of his busy schedule... and then what he got was a few unskilled people.
…
Maya Hashimoto sat in the box, looking at the novice magician in front of her who, in his panic, dropped the porcelain bowl hidden in his arms to the ground with a clang. She took a deep breath and silently covered her face.
——If he dared to give this kind of thing to Uzo, then the next person to be smashed to pieces might be him, the poor interviewer.
“Not passing?”
After receiving the result from Hashimoto Maya, a magician who was of decent level among this group of crooked people frowned and snorted coldly, "I told you, there is no such thing as a free lunch. You don't even want to recruit magicians. You just want to use us for fun, right?"
Hashimoto Maya: “…”
