Chapter 289
It wasn't that Isaac didn't know Thaddeus Bradley, the old man's name had appeared in his office once, and the provider was Sherlock. Sherlock was annoyed that the bureau would rather hire an outdated old man than ignore his offer, and had been like a cat with a frizz all day.
"It's him!" Reid knew better.
"Who is he?" Everyone turned their attention to him.
"He used to be a very powerful magician, but later he took a completely opposite position, relying on debunking magic as a career. Many magicians hate him, but they can't do anything about him." Reid frowned, "I'm not I like him very much. Some people say that he changed careers entirely for money, but the way he makes money is by absorbing the careers of other magicians. Moreover, as his fame increases, his existence puts pressure on many magicians. The magician he questioned had to put on a more daring show in order to keep the audience."
"It's too hateful." Garcia looked at the old man on TV again, and his eyes were not so sympathetic.
The current news stations are very quick to respond. As soon as the FBI spokesperson here gave the name of the suspect, they picked up the person to the bottom of the sky. Thaddeus Bradley is not an unknown person. In the past five years, the paid magic cracking videos he produced have been downloaded 500 million times, and some TV stations have invited him to do programs.When positive publicity is required, of course, it is the legendary stories that make people feel that they have not been fooled. When the protagonist turns into a suspect, it is his past mistakes that are widely reported.
For example, 30 years ago, Thaddeus Bradley's first victim - Lionel Shrike.
Lionel Shrike is also a magician, not the best, just mediocre.Back then, he was the protagonist of Thaddeus Bradley's first magic break-up special, which made the magician's career a huge blow.A year later, he came up with a new trick and decided to use it to make a comeback.It was an escape trick, putting people in a safe, sinking the safe into the river, and escaping within the allotted time.
Lionel Shrike did not escape.
At other times, this incident can be inferred as Lionel Shrike's lack of skill and ability, but at this time, it puts the label of doing anything for money on Thaddeus Bradley.
"The evidence is convincing. Nearly [-] million real banknotes were found in his car." Garcia also provided some information that was not reported in the news.
"..." Isaac imagined how much more than 4 million in cash, and then found that his imagination was a bit poor, "How big is the car?"
"It's just an ordinary SUV." Garcia called out a photo of the scene.
"So, he is the man behind the scenes?" Morgan looked at Isaac with some uncertainty, "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with the inner ghost, and we have all been misled?"
If Thaddeus Bradley is really behind the scenes, if he planned all this, if he found the Four Horsemen... Isaac quickly listed a bunch of doubts for Thaddeus Bradley——
Understand magic, have an extraordinary understanding, be familiar with magic methods, and be able to quickly find the most critical point.It has a certain social influence and is regarded as an authority in the industry.Being able to participate in the FBI investigation, this time also acted as a consultant.There is no shortage of money, but the figure of [-] million is too scary. It is completely credible to say that he took risks for this desperation.There is also what the four knights said at the curtain call, to set things right, if they were confused at the beginning, and the information they had was not equal and correct, they thought that what they did was meaningful.Then Jack Wilder died unexpectedly, and they found out that something was wrong, and they launched a big counterattack during the curtain call, failing to let Thaddeus Bradley's conspiracy succeed.
If you follow this logic, things are not unreasonable.
But Isaac's intuition told him that something was wrong.But if it wasn't Thaddeus Bradley, who would have framed him like this?
"There must be a lot of people who want to make him unlucky." JJ said suddenly, and Isaac realized that he had said that sentence unintentionally just now, "Some people have been cut off from their fortunes, and some people have been cut off from their lives. Those people may not I am willing to be beaten down like this.”
"Oh, so, is there an Avenger here?" Isaac said dryly, thinking about what happened in Australia, and now that Roger was alive, it might not be better than dead.The anger from the families of the victims is not so easy to bear. This kind of revenge cannot be accomplished by one person, and it may not be obvious to everyone who is smart, but no one came out to stop it, as the one who also chose to ignore Man, Isaac suddenly found that he had no say in the matter.
"It's not a bad thing for you if this matter comes to fruition." Rossi has already started to look forward, and with the focus of diverting public attention, the pressure on Issac's side will be much less. The sword of Kodama also shifted quietly. If it fell at this time, it would wipe off a few hairs at most.
"It makes me feel like I was being emotionally nervous before." Isaac rubbed his face fiercely, obviously he should feel relaxed, but this kind of unreasonable way of playing cards made him feel helpless and depressed. "Forget it, let's continue discussing Glen Durant."
"Actually, we already have a clue." BAU's efficiency is not blown out, and GlenDurant has been far away from the one that the FBI has never integrated into, so he doesn't know what can be done with today's technology.
"There are two places," Reid said. "One is Wilson's old place, and the other is Hoover's place."
Wilson is GlenDurant's stepfather. After he retired, he applied to transform his basement into a super air-raid shelter, which was safe enough to prevent radiation.This man was the first successor to Hoover's secret materials, and it would be plausible to say that he hid things in such a place.
"But we also have to be prepared to fail." Hotch said, "Wilson is dead after all, and his successor Durant is likely to transfer the data again."
"Address?" Isaac clenched his fists.
"I don't suggest you go now." Rossi's voice was a little deep, "Although it has been shown that no one has lived there for a long time, it is likely to be related to Hoover, and no amount of preparation is too much."
"Rossi?" Isaac felt that Rossi's attitude was a little too cautious.
"You don't know, that's Hoover." As the only person among the few who saw Hoover's real body, Rossi seemed to have mixed emotions, "That man, even if he doesn't do anything, will make you feel that everything is under control."
"Oh, you adore him." That's something Isaac hadn't thought about.
"Who doesn't?" Rossi said. "I was young too."
"Where's the second place?" Isaac asked.
"you do not?"
"How could I go there alone?" Isaac said innocently, "I'm not the only one being threatened. I think those people are very happy to help."
"The second location, I guess is Hoover's office." Black said, "GlenDurant is Wilson's stepson, and Wilson is Hoover's diehard, he can't pass on this spirit, even if GlenDurant didn't take this Road, but the spiritual indoctrination from childhood must have also brought a great influence on him. This is like a spiritual suggestion, Edgar Hoover is omnipotent, everything about him is sacred, if I were a pilgrim, I would I will enshrine my most precious possessions there, it represents a sense of security."
"Hoover's office has been demolished long ago, right?" Isaac said uncertainly, "I went to the Hoover Building when I first entered the FBI, and I asked about this at the time, and someone told me that it no longer existed."
"But you have to know, Isaac." Reid's eyes sparkled, "everything about celebrities is collectible. From a pen and a lock of hair to an entire former residence, it's all collectible. And you know Jefferson Is there a pavilion in the Institute dedicated to Hoover?"
"I seem to have been there." Isaac said uncertainly, "Take a fancy tour."
"No one must have told you at the time that most of the items there belonged to Hoover, including the desk floor. Only a few parts are replicas." Reid said, "I noticed that there were a lot of documents there, but at the time I thought that the It's for show, but if it wasn't..."
"That's pretty bold." Isaac bit his lip. "But it totally makes sense. Guys, I've got to go out and make some calls and find some people, you..."
"Are you sure the people you're looking for are trustworthy?" Hotch was a little worried.
"Trust? Not necessarily, but they must all share the same interests." Isaac shook his head, "Sometimes, the same interests are more important than anything else."
Isaac went there for three days, from when he disappeared to when he reappeared, there was no disturbance at all.
"The meeting is over?" John was a little surprised when he found Isaac reappeared in the office.
"It's over." Isaac yawned, a little out of spirits, "it's extremely boring." But it's all achieved, which is a good thing.
Thinking of Glen Durant's expression at that time, Isaac felt more refreshed than anything else.
"Maybe there's something not boring waiting for you," John said.
"What's the matter?" Isaac is in a good mood now, and is extra patient.He decided that even if John said that Sherlock was being a monster again, he would just smile and make things right.
"Sherlock is disqualified as a consultant," John said quickly. "You didn't see him today because he was banned."
Isaac: I'm sorry, I really thought I didn't catch that.
"What did he do again?" Why did he seem to have said this sentence before?
