Chapter 2638 2650 [FBI’s Exposure Speed]
Although one elementary school student secretly objected, it was clear that children had no say in the matter of travel.
So soon, in the evening of the next day, the group arrived at the magic venue, ready to watch this magic show that had been heavily promoted.
"There are so many people." Suzuki Sonoko stood next to Jiang Xia and Mao Li Ran, leaning on the pergola and looking at the sunset. "It must be a great show to attract so many people! It's worth skipping the Morita family's banquet. But I'm afraid I'll have to listen to my mother's nagging again when I go back tonight..."
While Suzuki Sonoko was complaining to Mouri Ran, Conan was whispering to Jiang Xia next to them.
The mini detective applies his powers of observation to strange places: "There are too many young girls in the audience - I hope the magician is a real talent and not just a charlatan."
Jiang Xia glanced around and his eyes suddenly fell on one place: "It's not all young girls. Look, there are old people queuing up over there to enter."
…
The gate is dozens of meters away.
James was wearing a hat and a scarf, queuing in a low-key manner, but suddenly he felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by something.
James: “!”
...Could it be that he came to the right place, and there really are some suspicious people here?
Thinking of this, he pushed his glasses, pretended to stretch his body, and looked around quietly, but did not see the suspicious curly-haired man.
After a moment of confusion, the senior FBI agent had no choice but to look away.
Today's Xinghe Tongwu fantasy magic show was the first place James checked after thinking about it.
Xinghe Tongwu is not too old, but he has also accepted several apprentices with good skills. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that according to James's investigation, Xinghe Tongwu has a long-lost master - Mr. Zhengying.
——Mr. Zhengying was once a world-famous magician, but ten years ago, he suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts remain unknown.
"He disappeared for ten years. If he was caught to teach magic, he would surely become a talented apprentice." James touched his chin. "If you think about it, even the most low-key apprentice would appear on stage with his teacher more or less. But the man who looks like Uzo has never been exposed. Maybe it's because his teacher has stopped performing on stage a long time ago?"
Anyway, this is a guess. There aren't many magic shows held recently, so I'd better come and have a look.
Thinking of this, James queued up to enter the venue. He happily bought a cup of iced coffee and sat comfortably in a seat with a good viewing position.
"Apart from that mysterious cadre, this is just like a vacation. It's been a long time since I've had such a relaxing time."
James leaned back in his seat and took a sip of his cold coffee. Thinking of his other subordinates who were still working overtime, the old man felt a little guilty. "It's not that I don't want to bring Judy and the others here, but Judy has appeared too many times before. Her blonde and blue-eyed looks are too eye-catching and will easily attract the enemy's attention... Forget it, it won't take a while. Once we catch Vermouth or Uzo, we'll take a long vacation."
…
As the audience gradually took their seats.
In the backstage staff area, a cleaner adjusted his baseball cap and lowered his head to get busy.
"Baseball caps are still not as convenient as knitted hats. They are loose and can be easily blown away by the wind or fall off in fierce battles." Akai Shuichi stopped sweeping the floor, stood up and tightened the adjustment strap on the back of the hat uncomfortably. "It's a pity that the knitted hat is too conspicuous. If I continue to wear it, those cunning guys might suspect that I am deliberately exposing my identity."
——Although according to the plan, it should be James who came forward to investigate this time, and he, the FBI ace, was responsible for coordinating the overall situation and observing the situation from a high position...
But after learning about James's investigation order, Akai Shuichi came to the venue to check it out, only to find that the sound insulation here is excellent, and there is no high ground nearby - in other words, if he really stayed outside the venue to coordinate, he would not be able to coordinate anything at all. Once there is a problem inside, by the time he rushes in and finds the location, his boss's body may have been cold.
After hesitating for a moment, Shuichi Akai simply followed the example of one of his former colleagues and sneaked into the venue by working part-time.
"Think about it carefully. Although James' whereabouts are more mysterious than ours, he is not without flaws. During the Teitan Middle School Festival, he once presented himself as an 'elderly man on the roadside who needs help' and delayed Miss Maori."
Akai Shuichi thought secretly: "We must not be careless when facing Uzo. I am afraid that the moment James appeared in front of Mao Lilan, he would have been included in her field of vision... In addition, he has the conspicuous appearance of a foreign old gentleman. As long as he appears in the magic venue a few more times, Uzo will definitely notice him."
"And this investigation is different from the previous ones. In the past, we had to keep it secret, but this time we are investigating Uzo's origins. In other words, as long as we can find the master of the curly-haired man, it doesn't matter whether our whereabouts are exposed or not."
"If that's the case...rather than just hiding, maybe it would be easier for James to take the initiative to let them notice me and focus all their attention on me."
While a certain FBI ace was secretly modifying the plan, the audience in the front seats took their seats one by one, and the much-anticipated magic show finally began.
Amid the excited applause, the side door opened and closed. Hashimoto Maya, who was busy like a top, hurried and finally entered the venue on time.
He pushed up the dark glasses on his nose, jogged along, and amid the deafening music, he found his reserved seat in the dark and sat down.
Just as I sat down, a surprised voice came from the side: "Akai? Why are you here? Didn't we agree that you would wait outside?"
Hashimoto Maya: “?!!”
who??
What did you call me? ! !
...What the hell kind of position did I choose? !
…
The curtain opened, and it was not the star magician Xinghe Dougo who appeared on the stage, but several of his beautiful female assistants.
Tall assistants dressed in black and white rabbit-like uniforms, top hats, and holding several red and black boards gathered on the stage.
They smiled and put together the half-meter square plastic plates in their hands to form a small cube. Soon, with a burst of smoke, the cube exploded and a young magician appeared among the assistants.
Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko exclaimed "Wow!" and looked at the stage expectantly.
Conan snorted and turned his face away sourly.
Suddenly, his eyes paused and stopped at the seat on the other side of the aisle.
