Jon and Béla did go to the book signing because they had to.
His "kind" mother had asked him to take the autographed book home.
If this woman who had just given birth knew that her son was going to bring her idol home, would she be so excited that she would announce it to the whole Ministry of Magic?
Fortunately, Jon had made all the necessary preparations. He had written a letter to his grandmother and told her that he had trapped his mother in the manor, and that he would always be by her side and take care of the child.
He had accumulated enough experience from last time. When Greenwich University was completely on holiday in two days, he could arrange for Mr. Smith to go there as well.
At least until he mastered Memory Magic, Linda Smith could only stay at home and take care of the child. She could not come out to see her idol.
It was fine even if she saw him. Anyway, this matter could not be spread out.
Otherwise, it would affect Lohat's new job in a year's time. That would be troublesome.
However, after the book signing, the meeting between Jon and Lohat was the highlight.
After this book signing, Lohat should still go to the bookstore to read as usual. Anthony carefully asked the bookstore clerk and found that Lohat came here as a habit, and not for any other reason.
This was much easier. Jon went through the investigation in his mind and then pushed open the door of the bookstore.
At the entrance of the bookstore, there was a clerk standing at the counter. She had a thick index book in her hand, which could provide books for reference.
Jon pretended that it was his first time here and was not very familiar with the bookstore. Although it was his first time here, after all, he had asked someone to check carefully before. He said the names of a few books, and then under the kind guidance of the clerk, he went up to the second floor.
Compared to the first floor, the second floor was indeed quieter.
Next to the huge floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, there were many people holding their favorite books and standing against the bookshelves, or just sitting on a chair nearby and quietly reading.
Muggle probably did not want to buy these books, so he planned to read them directly in the bookstore.
Jon casually pulled a book from the bookshelf, glanced around, and quickly chose a remote booth by the window.
The lighting in this location was good, and it was suitable for reading. It also didn't affect him from waiting for Lohat's arrival.
Jon pulled out a book on psychology. According to his research, Lohat only read books on psychology. It was probably for some special purpose.
Anyway, it was not easy to be disturbed in the corner. There were not many people who were interested in books in this psychology area, so Jon was happy to be at ease.
He liked reading this kind of book very much. As long as one knew a little about popular science, they would be very interested in reading it. Only those who didn't know anything would find this kind of book boring.
Jon was the kind of person who knew a little. In his previous life, he had watched a lot of detective and criminal psychology dramas, so he was quite interested in profiling.
However, profiling was not a simple theory. Not to mention that the ability could only be mastered after the theory was advanced. The requirement of the basic skill — in Jon's words, it was "to be alert and observant" — had already crossed out most of the requirements. Not to mention that the next step was to train all kinds of physical abilities.
What was even more outrageous was that Jon also saw a sense of smell in the title column …
He must have taken a pirated book!
But thinking about it carefully, the book was not wrong. Often, professionals who were good at profiling or psychology had excellent observation skills or rich life experience to support their profession. These people's intuition and experience often told them how to face and deal with various possible situations before a certain situation began.
On the other hand, the people who were interested in these abilities were probably people who lacked the ability and were preparing to find another way. However, they didn't have the talent for this ability. Otherwise, they wouldn't have remained unknown for so long.
It was a pity that when they saw a certain point of view, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they felt that they finally found a way to move forward in life. They never thought that if things were so simple, they wouldn't be here reading such a big book.
It was too difficult for an ordinary person to change their mental appearance through psychology. Books were just books, not instructors. It was impossible for a person to turn from a silent, dull, middle-aged tool man into a social expert who was everywhere after learning for a period of time by following a book.
This was the case for this kind of subject that required comprehension. Those who knew it didn't need to be taught, and those who didn't know wouldn't be able to learn it even if they were taught, let alone just reading books … Jon felt that except for scholars who specialized in a certain field, this kind of book would not really be helpful to many people.
However, Lohat liked reading these books very much. It was a strange thing.
Jon flipped through the behavioral psychology analysis book in his hand. Time passed by little by little. When he finished half of the book, Jon finally waited for Lohat's arrival.
After all, the Wizard Street was next door, and there was nothing to worry about using magic. So Jon's [Monitoring Wind Whisper] had been on since the signing yesterday. After using it for so long, he could already block out most of the unimportant sounds.
As soon as Lockhart went upstairs, he noticed Jon's figure. After all, he had been reading here every day. He almost knew who would come here every day.
However, it was not strange for a child to come to the bookstore. It was just that this location was not normal. Why would a child come to the social science section instead of reading a storybook?
However, this kind of thing was not a big deal. There were always children who liked to study science. Muggle's children always had a hobby of learning. During the time he was writing new books in this city, Lohat had seen many such children.
Most of them were influenced by their parents, which was why they were like this.
He looked at them with some emotion, and then moved his line of sight up a little. What entered his eyes was a face that seemed familiar.
Where have I seen it before?!
Lohat slowly touched his head. The aftereffects of reading other people's memories for a long time were exposed at this time. Most people's faces could not remember when they had seen it.
He narrowed his eyes and searched his memory. He saw that the child seemed to have noticed his gaze and looked up.
He was dressed a little differently today. Because there might be fans around recently, he deliberately dressed up, dressed more casually, and even wore a pair of sunglasses.
In the end, the child exposed his identity with one sentence.
