Hogwarts Crawler

Coulson came here to investigate a criminal involved in supernatural crimes.

The reason was that SHIELD found some anomalies in the process of investigating the target's route, such as the target's experience of entering this souvenir antique shop three times this month.

According to their previous investigation, the target's daily hobbies do not include shopping, so the possibility of just coming here for shopping can be ruled out. At the same time, the target has no collections at home, and it is obviously not like a hobby of collecting.

It is hard not to doubt whether there are any hidden problems in this store...

However, SHIELD agents have been squatting for a few days and found that this store is very special. It is not normal to say that this place is not normal.

A store in America should not have not encountered a zero-dollar purchase for so long, and compared with the nearby stores, the business of this store is ridiculously deserted.

Even if you can't afford it, there shouldn't be only this few people who go in just to look and don't plan to buy.

But if it is abnormal, the daily flow of customers to this store is so thin that you can count them on one hand. This is indeed abnormal, but it also makes it almost impossible for this store to use a complex customer base to cover up.

Moreover, among those customers, some are either church priests, guests of high society, or people who come to America for tourism. If these people really want to buy some souvenirs or antiques, you really can't say there is any problem.

They have paid for it, and every tax is paid honestly.

Even if the agents find that these people have bought items such as vases and pendants, they will basically destroy the items in various ways at the first time...

(Customers: It's because that damn profiteer only sells disposable items!)

In the final analysis, people are happy to buy a vase to smash it and listen to the sound, and they are happy to buy a few pendants and throw them into the fire. Is it illegal? They are all their sacred and inviolable personal property!

You can't arrest people without any evidence just because you feel something is wrong. These people are not homeless or ordinary civilians.

The things in the store are worth seven or eight figures. The customers who buy things in the store are either close friends with high-ranking officials or wealthy people or have religious connections. Even SHIELD can't arrest such people without evidence.

If SHIELD really wants to investigate anyone, why do they have to work hard to train agents to disguise and infiltrate to collect evidence? Wouldn't it be better to train the army directly?

After some investigation, SHIELD believes that there are two possibilities. One is that there is really nothing wrong with this store, and those customers just have a habit of spending a lot of money to buy things and then destroy them.

The second possibility is that the problem with this store is very big, but this problem is also in the field of supernatural power, so they can't investigate the problem.

To be honest, let alone as an agent, even ordinary people with normal intelligence and logic know which of these two options to choose, so Agent Coulson decided to investigate it himself.

After all, according to the investigation, every customer who came to the store bought something in the end, so he naturally had to apply for some funds for the operation when he came to investigate...

Recently, the World Tree Group has launched several Captain America peripherals, among which the deluxe version of the life-size figure is extremely expensive. Agent Coulson, as a die-hard fan of Captain America, naturally wants to buy some.

Agent Coulson originally thought that this first investigation was just the beginning, and that there would be no gains from a preliminary contact with the people in the store, so he was already thinking about how much funds he could embezzle and how many deluxe version figures he could buy.

Who knew that there would be unexpected gains? !

With Agent Coulson's professional level, he could naturally see the guilty conscience on Toby's face.

While he couldn't help but be surprised and unbelievable that the investigation had made direct progress, Agent Coulson was also sighing in his heart that he might not have the next chance to get funds.

"Hahahaha——"

Seeing the state of Toby and Agent Coulson, Adam couldn't help laughing:

"Ahem, it's okay, let me laugh for a while, Toby, get up and entertain the guests."

Looking at Adam who couldn't help but continue laughing, Toby had a string of question marks and exclamation marks on his head.

No... Boss, you killed someone!

Now that the FBI has come to your door, you are still so calm, and you can even laugh so arrogantly... Are you so fearless?

In an instant, the plots of collusion between officials and businessmen in various movies emerged in his memory, and Toby suddenly felt that he had become a lackey of the evil big boss.

Agent Coulson on the other side was also full of question marks.

He could understand that the other party might be a special person with supernatural powers, looking down on ordinary peopleBut has the FBI become so shameless now? They really don't give any face at all?

Suddenly, Agent Coulson recalled the last time when he showed all kinds of documents to Loki but was ignored, and finally he was even dragged to confront the director of the tax bureau.

Now, no matter which line of agents, it seems that it is not easy to get along...

After staring at Toby, who was obviously nervous and scared, for a few seconds, Agent Coulson took a deep breath helplessly and looked at Adam:

"Sir, I have a case that is believed to be related to you. Please cooperate with the investigation."

Looking at the expression of this child, it is also known that the other party probably only knows a little bit, otherwise there would not be such a big difference between the expression and attitude of the store manager.

If it was a normal contact, Agent Coulson would still consider whether to contact the other party for a while to see if he could get anything out of him, but now that he has used the identity of the FBI, it is obviously not appropriate.

"Hmm? Oh, investigating a case, okay, ahem."

Adam adjusted his expression and looked at Agent Coulson:

"Ask me."

"It's like this..."

Coulson took out a photo from his suit and put it on the counter in front of Adam, pushing it with his finger:

"Do you know this person?"

"Well, one of my clients, who came to buy some vases, necklaces, and amulets before, what's wrong?"

Adam recognized the person in the photo at a glance. After all, his store's prices are relatively high, and there are not many regular customers.

Agent Coulson was not surprised by this and asked further:

"Then do you know his identity?"

"How should I know this?"

Adam looked at Agent Coulson in surprise:

"I sell souvenirs and antiques here, not cigarettes, alcohol, and guns. Do I have to register customer information?"

Agent Coulson pursed his lips. This was too reasonable, and he couldn't refute it for a while.

"This gentleman, is he... dead?"

Toby also recognized the person in the photo, after all, he had been here at night.

"Huh? No."

Coulson thought there was a breakthrough, and hurriedly said:

"He is now a criminal, involved in a... um... property damage case, a major property damage case."

Agent Coulson thought about it and felt that ordinary property damage cases should not be investigated by the FBI, so he added a major one.

"So he killed someone?"

Agent Coulson: ? ? ?

Does this mean someone must die in this matter?

Faced with Toby's question, Agent Coulson was a little surprised that this kid had a strong desire to kill, but still explained:

"There were no casualties in this incident."
