Jon didn't expect that he would end up making a fool of himself. His casual words had opened Lohat's mouth.
But they hadn't started on the main topic yet. He could only listen to Lohat's … teaching.
"Muggle's knowledge has its merits. Take this behavioral analysis book for example. It tells us that even a small subconscious action can be used to determine the identity of the other party."
Lohat held the book and said slowly, "Facial expressions can be used to analyze the other party's emotions. The behavior of other parts of the body and the other party's daily habits can be interpreted to reveal more information …"
Lohat obviously didn't specialize in these things. He learned these things because they were useful to him.
Muggle had a lot of experience in this area. On the other hand, Wizard didn't have so many entertainment activities.
There were no movies, no television. Medieval operas and dramas were the main popular entertainment in Wizard's world. Even if someone committed a crime, there was no need to send out detectives because the Ministry of Magic's surveillance system was quite complete. All they had to do was send out Auror to catch the culprit and throw him into Azkaban.
Lohat was a very smart person. After graduating from the magic school, he had been wandering around the world, so he had seen a lot of the local customs of Muggle's world.
Later on, when he started his own "business", he actually encountered some difficulties in the early days. After all, the Wizard wouldn't completely trust him, and without trust, it was difficult to implement his ideas.
So he first started to study and write. It was at this time that he began to read psychology books in Muggle's world.
But at that time, he was reading criminal psychology books.
So, there were two kinds of people who left a deep impression on him.
One was special investigation personnel, and the other was liars.
Coincidentally, Lohat had come into contact with both of them.
There was a special secret department in England called MI0, which was directly under the SIS.
This department was similar to the Muggle Department in the Ministry of Magic. The Muggle Department also had a department that dealt with the affairs of the magical world.
This department was initiated by the British University Union, and its main members were duds and people who were curious about the world of magic. The recruitment of relevant members was very strict, and they were screened and trained from various university societies.
Among these members, those who chose to continue working as Muggle would become official members after university. If they wanted to return to their normal life as a Muggle, they would have to go through a certain amount of memory erasure and sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Of course, the subsidies were also more generous, and the British Defense Department would also give priority to these people.
After all, these people had undergone training. If they were capable of handling magic matters, it would be a great blow to Muggle to deal with his crimes.
As for scammers … Lohat had seen such cases before when he accompanied the MI0 members to deal with a certain matter.
Unlike detectives, these scammers could actually act as a person according to a predetermined personality, family, and profession. They could even use makeup and other means to fool the person's friends and family.
"So on the other hand, if you can see through it, you can act. These two are opposite."
Jon nodded and smiled in agreement, "There is a saying in the Muggle world that the best scammers are the best actors."
The person in front of him was a scammer. Jon knew that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his words. This kind of praise would definitely flatter Lohat unknowingly, and it would make the other party feel very comfortable.
"That's right."
Lohat was obviously very satisfied with Jon's response, "Have you heard of Frank? I like him very much. "
"… …"
Frank … who is that? The boss of some scammer group?
When Lockhart saw Jon's blank expression, he promptly explained, "That's right.
"Frank, full name is Frank William Abanel.
He is a legendary figure. Because of his scams in many countries, he was wanted by many countries decades ago. Before he was 21 years old, he pretended to be no less than 8 identities and professions, from pilot to pediatrician to lawyer and so on. He has never been exposed. It is said that when he lies, he can even gain the trust of professionals, making them really believe that Frank is in the same profession as them. And now he is working as a security consultant in the United States … "
There was nothing unexpected. Jon saw that Lohat was talking happily, so he listened quietly.
"… So, if your performance is realistic enough, people can almost believe anything … This is what Frank said himself."
Jon silently listened to Lohat's long speech. After listening to it, he already remembered who Lohat was talking about.
Frank might not be famous, but when it came to a famous movie, Jon was familiar with it.
The American movie "Game of Mouse" was released in 2002. It was a very popular movie, especially the movie's lead actor, Leonardo DiBarCaprio, who was very popular in China.
Of course, Jon was no exception. He had watched the movie many times, so he could still remember the general plot. However, Lockhart's words just now had dragged his memory of the movie out of the dusty grave.
But even the smartest people would make very low-level mistakes. Frank was caught, and Lohat was no exception.
At this time, Jon still couldn't figure out why Lohat was sent to Hogwarts by Dumbledore. There was something wrong with his brain.
This was the result of being caught by Dumbledore and having no choice but to commit a crime.
But now, Chao En planned to use this method to try it out.
Other people don't have a hold on him, but he does.
Lohat's hold on him is in his mind, and the relevant evidence is in the conversation between the two people just now.
"Mr. Lohat, so, this is how you wrote your book? It's really a good method, but I don't know if Ms. Skeeter of "Prophet Daily" will be interested in your legendary experience? "
Jon closed the book and continued to smile innocently: "Of course, I'm talking about your real experience, not what you wrote in your book."
This kind of thing can only be done when Lohat is least prepared. This kind of threat has to be taken advantage of when Lohat is least prepared.
Sure enough, after listening to Jon's words, the smile on Lohat's face froze in an instant, then the smile collapsed inch by inch. In the end, he looked a little fierce.
