HP Approaches the Magic World

Jon didn't expect that he would be self-defeating, and he opened up Lockhart's conversation with a casual sentence.

But the real business hadn't started yet, he could only listen to Lockhart's... teachings to him.

"The knowledge of Muggles also has merit. Take this behavioral analysis book as an example. It tells us that even a small subconscious movement can be used to determine the identity of the other person."

Lockhart held the book and said slowly: "Facial expressions can analyze the other person's emotions, and the behavior of other parts of the body and the other person's daily habits can all be interpreted to reveal more information..."

Of course, Lockhart did not specialize in studying these things. He learned these contents simply because he would use them in daily life.

Muggles have quite a lot of experience in this area. On the contrary, wizards do not have so many entertainment activities.

There were no movies or TVs. Medieval operas and plays are still the main popular entertainment activities in the wizarding world. If someone commits a crime, there is no need to send out any detectives, because the Ministry of Magic’s surveillance system is quite complete. All it takes is sending out Aurors to arrest the person and then put him in jail.

Just throw it into Azkaban.

Lockhart is a very smart man. After graduating from magic school, he has been traveling around the world, so he has seen a lot of the customs and customs of the Muggle world.

Later, he started to carry out his own "career". In fact, he encountered some difficulties in the early days. After all, the wizards would not completely trust him, and without trust, it would be difficult to implement his ideas.

So he began to study writing first, and it was at this time that he began to see psychology books in the Muggle world.

But at that time, he was reading works on criminal psychology.

Therefore, there were two types of people who left a deep impression on his heart.

One is the special investigators, and the other is the liars.

Coincidentally, Lockhart had contact with both.

The UK has a special secret department called MI0, which is directly affiliated with SIS.

This department is just like the Muggle Affairs Department of the Ministry of Magic. Muggles also have related departments that deal with matters in the wizarding world.

This department was initiated by the British University Alliance, and its main members are squibs and people who are curious about the magical world. The recruitment of relevant members is very rigorous, and they are screened and trained from various university societies.

If any of these members choose to continue doing this, they will transfer to become official members after finishing college. If they want to return to normal Muggle life, they will need to undergo certain memory erasures and sign a confidentiality agreement.

such treaties.

Of course, the subsidies are also relatively generous, and the British defense department will give priority to these people in admission.

After all, these people have been trained, and if they can handle magical matters, then they come back to deal with Muggle crimes, which can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack.

As for the liar...Lockhart once saw an example when he was accompanying members of MI0 to deal with a certain matter.

Unlike detectives, these liars can actually impersonate a person according to a pre-set personality, family and occupation, and can even hide it from the relatives and friends of the person being impersonated through makeup and other means.

"So conversely, if you can see through it, you can act it. The two are relative."

Jon nodded and agreed with a smile: "There is a saying in the Muggle world that says the best liar is the best actor."

The person in front of him was a liar. Jon knew that there was absolutely nothing wrong with his words. This kind of compliment would definitely flatter Lockhart unconsciously and make him feel very comfortable.

"That's right."

Lockhart was obviously very satisfied with Jon's kind reaction: "Have you heard of Frank? I like him very much."

"..."

Frank...who is he? The boss of some con man group?

Lockhart saw Jon's confused look and promptly explained:

"Frank, his full name is Frank William Abagnale.

He is a legendary figure. He was wanted by many countries decades ago for committing fraud in many countries. Before he was 21 years old, he impersonated no less than 8 types of people, ranging from a pilot, a pediatrician to a lawyer, etc.

His identity and career have not yet been exposed. It is said that he can even gain the trust of professionals when he lies, making them really believe that Frank is their peer, and now he is working as a security consultant in the United States..."

There was nothing unexpected. Jon watched Lockhart talk happily and listened quietly.

"...So, if your performance is realistic enough, people can believe almost anything...This is Frank's own words."

Jon listened silently as Lockhart finished his long speech, which was like a speech. After listening to it, he already remembered who Lockhart was talking about.

Frank may not be famous, but when it comes to a well-known movie, Jon is familiar with it.

The American movie "Cat and Mouse" released in 2002 was a very popular movie, especially the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio, who is very popular throughout China.

Of course, Jon is not immune to this. He has watched the movie many times and still remembers the general plot. However, Lockhart's words just now pulled his memory of the movie out of the dust.

But no matter how smart a person is, he will make very stupid mistakes. Frank will be caught, and Lockhart is no exception.

At this time, Jon could no longer figure out why Lockhart was sent to Hogwarts to be a teacher by Dumbledore. That was because there was something wrong with his head.

This was basically the result of Dumbledore getting the hang of it and having to commit the crime.

However, now Jon plans to follow this method directly.

Others don't have handles, but he has them.

Lockhart's clues are all in his head, and the relevant evidence is in the conversation between the two people just now.

"Mr. Lockhart, so this is how your book was written? It's indeed a good idea, but I wonder if Ms. Skeeter from the Daily Prophet would be interested in your legendary experience?"

Jon closed the book and continued to laugh harmlessly: "What I'm talking about is, of course, your real experience, not what you wrote in the book."

This kind of thing is to be caught off guard. Lockhart must be taken advantage of when he is least prepared for this kind of threat to be effective.

Sure enough, after listening to Jon's words, the smile that was still blooming on Lockhart's face instantly froze on his face, and then the smile disintegrated inch by inch, and finally he looked a bit ferocious.
