Chapter 337
After sitting in the passenger seat and fastening her seat belt, Moonlight began to talk about the theft plan for a while:
“Metropolitan Theatre, definitely go to the Met – it’s the best-selling theater on White Street and probably has the longest membership list.
“I know the owner of the theater, Springer.
"He's a stingy guy, but he still respects me a lot." As he said that, Yueguang straightened his collar in the car's makeup mirror.
"It will be like this in a while..." He tapped his forehead with his finger and said, "We still use the excuse of conducting an exclusive interview..."
Today's moonlight seems to capture the essence of Sean.
"I'll introduce you to Springer, and then I'll find an opportunity to get him out of the way--like try out the stage piano or something.
"Then, take advantage of him not being in the office to copy the list!"
After saying that, Moonlight patted her forehead: "How about it, the plan is good!"
Sean, who was driving quietly, turned to his partner: "Moonlight, you are making progress."
He rarely makes plans, but now he has a well-planned plan.
Something that was beyond Sean's expectation.
The pianist raised his eyebrows happily: "That's--after hanging out with you 'conspirators' for so long, it's impossible not to learn any skills."
He seemed quite excited and kept his chatterbox open: "As soon as I see Springer, I will introduce you. Should you use a pseudonym? Let me think about it..."
About ten minutes later, Sean's car stopped in front of the Metropolitan Theatre.
It is now afternoon, there are not many pedestrians on Baibai Street, and the staff seem a little lazy.
After getting out of the car, Sean and Moonlight walked straight towards the entrance of the Metropolitan Theater.
Sean pushed the door open and went in. He was sitting on the inside of the door taking a nap. The uniformed doorman stood up: "Oh, sir, I'm sorry, we're not open yet."
Before Yue Guang could speak, a flash of light burst out from Sean's pupils next to her.
Forget the flash.
The young doorman with freckles and pale face, his eyes were filled with white light. He murmured: "Please wait...sir..."
While forgetting about Sean and Moonlight's visit.
"Oh." Moonlight was a little surprised, "I thought you didn't have to use these methods to visit Springer."
Sean turned back and smiled: "Convenient."
According to Yueguang's memory, the two of them walked around the spacious theater, passing many staff members who didn't care about them, and walked directly to the door of Springer, the theater owner.
Moonlight was about to knock on the door, but Sean had already turned the doorknob and walked into Springer's office.
Sitting behind his desk, wearing reading glasses and checking his account books, Springer raised his head: "Why don't you knock on the door?"
Before he could even see the face of the person coming, his forehead was pressed against by something cold and hard.
It's a revolver.
"Bring out the guest list of your theater."
Springer, who had gray hair on his temples, did not dare to show his anger. He did not dare to move his upper body and took out a large leather booklet from the drawer.
Sean tilted his head and motioned for the stunned Moonlight to check it out.
Moonlight looked a little embarrassed and looked at the list with some embarrassment. After confirming that it was true, he nodded.
Sean put the revolver in his gun bag and apologized: "I'm very sorry, Boss Springer, just because it will be more convenient..."
As he spoke, Sean's eyes burst into light.
When the white light remained in Springer's eyes, Sean said to him: "You gave the guest list to your assistant a few days ago, but he never returned it.
"But don't get angry about this. After all, your memory is not very good now and you are not completely sure whether you handed it over to him..."
After walking out of the office with the moonlight and closing the door, the white light in Springer's eyes was "digested".
He stared blankly ahead, blinked, and returned his attention to the account book...
After walking out of the theater and sitting in the car, Yueguang, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "So you planned to use this convenient method from the beginning?"
"Um."
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yueguang was obviously a little unhappy - I don't know whether it was because the task was too simple or because Sean was silent, "I said so much, but it was of no use at all!"
"Why can't it be used? If Naiya Shenyu cannot be used for some reason, you can use your plan, right?"
What Sean said seemed to make sense, and Yueguang's anger faded a little: "Then you should tell me your plans first..."
"Alas," Sean patted the steering wheel, "I heard you talking very enthusiastically and didn't want to interrupt you.
"Besides, isn't this a good mental exercise - you can make suggestions next time."
Knowing that Sean had no ill intentions and it was just a small prank at most, Yueguang didn't worry about it: "I didn't expect that the effect of your weird memory erasing ability would actually increase..."
Thinking of the thrilling experience in the Arkham City Museum, Yueguang couldn't help but feel a slight shiver in her heart.
"You won't use it on me!" Moonlight looked at Sean nervously.
While driving, Sean frowned: "Your thinking is very strange - why should I use it on you?"
"Uh..." Yueguang checked whether her memory was incomplete, "For example, sometimes I act mean or argue with you. You beat me first and then erase my memory to vent your anger."
Sean patted the steering wheel and laughed: "Hahahahaha... Moonlight, you think so much..."
Seeing the way Sean smiled, Yueguang became more and more worried.
After all, he just couldn't help but argue with Sean sometimes.
"Don't worry." Sean turned his head, "I am a principled person and I won't use it against you."
With a smile in his eyes, Sean added: "However, you did provide a good idea..."
Moonlight suddenly closed her eyes and turned her head: "Fuck! I shouldn't have reminded you! No, I can't look into your eyes...
"You must have lied to me.
“Recently, I mentioned that my butt always hurts... I thought it was my butt cramping while sleeping.
"You must have beaten me! It seems I have to be more careful in the future!"
Sean laughed so hard that tears almost came out: "Don't worry, Moonlight, I won't use it on you!"
"Sean, my good brother, it's not that I can't trust you." Moonlight kept her eyes closed and said seriously, "I need you to swear on this matter, in the name of the explorer, otherwise I will always worry about it. Can’t sleep.”
It seems that he is really worried. Sean chuckled to himself.
Although memory is yesterday's flower and a shadow that does not exist in the present, it is also everyone's accumulated understanding of the world...
No one wants their memory to be erased at will.
Although Moonlight's worry is not rational, it is understandable.
Sean sighed and said in a serious tone: “Okay, my good brother.
"I swear in the name of the explorer that I will not use the ability to erase your memory on you, okay?"
"Use the words of a seeker."
"Okay, okay - if you don't break this oath, God will learn from it."
After saying this, Yueguang opened her eyes and seemed relieved.
Looking at the moonlight around him, Sean smiled bitterly and shook his head: What a waste of worry.
——
After getting the list, Sean and Moonlight returned home, leaving Aaliyah and Olivia to work on their own in the living room, while they started in Sean's study using two untraceable phones that had been prepared before. Conduct phone interviews one by one.
It would definitely not work if they were too abrupt on the phone. They pretended to be conducting a telephone survey as staff of the "Metropolitan Theater", and the main topics were their favorite plays, favorite genres, etc...
After asking some cover-up questions, before the interviewee loses patience, they will ask the most critical question: Have you ever watched a drama that you couldn’t find later, and what was the content of the drama? of?
Although this question is a bit strange, it is not so obtrusive when it is buried among various drama-related questions.
Following this tactic, Sean and Moonlight started making phone calls, one from the beginning of the list and the other from the end of the list.
Sean thought this would be a long step, but to his surprise, things quickly progressed...
