"When the first prompt failed, I did what you wanted. When you claimed to go out to smoke, I used the modified mobile phone I carried to hack into the cheap phone you bought in advance, making you feel that everything was under your control. Of course, this is not difficult, because before you came to me, I knew about Sonny’s conversation with you and your attempt to test me. "
The consultant's narrative gradually evoked DeWitt's memories, but these memories are not so pleasant to think about now, even a little scary.
"After I got in your car, I gave you a second reminder. I told you directly, 'You are going southeast like this, which gave me a bad feeling.' You still didn't seize this opportunity. Do you think I was just showing off, and ended up complimenting my intelligence capabilities.
But you haven't considered that even if my intelligence capabilities are excellent, I can't keep track of all criminal activities in the city at all times. And from the time you saw me until I got in the car with you, I was out of your sight for a very short time, and during that time I used to hack into your phone and actually call Sonny in order to pull off the whole trick. Call to confirm. "
DeWitt said: "So you have already investigated the transaction by eavesdropping on Sonny's conversation with me."
The consultant replied: "Yes, I originally thought that the southeast was too vague, so I simply reported the names of Tony and Joe in the next sentence, and said that these two guys are ruthless characters. Bing "Xing" also said it. Let me tell you that I know the deal you are going to interfere with very well. Not only do I know the general location, but I have also investigated the time, people, content, etc., even better than Sonny has more to tell you.
But you don’t think I’m suspicious. It’s normal for you to think that I know such specific details, and you still continue with your plan. Well, I can assume that there is such a possibility. Your reasoning is that I talked to Sang before. Ni already knew all the information on that phone call. That's why you reacted as if nothing happened, so my second reminder is useless. "
DeWitt took a sip of strong wine and was angry in his heart, because his true thoughts in his heart were not actually that complicated. He simply did not consider that much from the consultant's words at the time.
The consultant continued: "Next, I will teach you the first lesson, which is what a consultant should do. The consultant's job is not to rush in front of the other party, kill all the people, and take away the money. This kind of You can just ask anyone else to do the work. The consultant provides criminal consultation, not playing Grand Theft Auto.
I told you in the car that I don’t care about your life or death. I am only responsible for stealing intelligence, and I will not show up at the scene of the gunfight. This is telling you what a real consultant should do, but you only Think of this as a request from a college student who is afraid of death.
You also immediately bumped into a homeless man, causing a commotion, and tried to use this situation that was beyond my control to blackmail me, so I said at the time, 'I think I have to re-evaluate your position in my heart. impression'. "
The consultant drank all the tomato juice in his glass and refilled himself a glass: "Half an hour later, I was sitting in the car, hiding a hundred meters away from the trading site. Naturally, I was the one talking to you, Tony and Joe. Everyone can hear it. The result of your so-called prepared plan is to use the police lingering in the nearby Route 41 area and the fact that you are an esper to threaten the other party in an attempt to make them retreat without a fight and let you Take the money away and use me to steal their information and monitor their future movements.
Things turned out differently in the end than you expected. They chose to resist. Yes, that choice was stupid and cost them their lives. But this also shows that you have insufficient judgment on the development of the situation. Fortunately, you can still use force to make corrections. Just like someone who does not know how to use the 'find and replace' command, they can only find it with the naked eye and replace it one by one manually. , the result can still achieve the goal.
Then the police uniform you hid in the trunk came in handy at this time. This is worthy of praise. If you plan to use violence to break through the police blockade, it will be really ugly.
Burning the vehicles at the scene can be considered a good aftermath, but I, the intelligence hacker 'Mike Baron', did not play a substantial role that day. This was a waste of human resources caused by your poor decision-making. "
DeWitt's face became increasingly ugly, and the consultant's narrative gradually reduced him to worthless.
The consultant said: "The interrogation on the second day was completely as expected, but the way you responded is not worthy of praise. Maybe you think it is the behavior of a tough guy to laugh at someone when you are being beaten continuously, but I think you are wrong. Target, you are facing an idiot like Sonny, and a thug named Gava who is as intelligent as him. Genius can be calculated, but fools and lunatics are hard to say. If they have a burst of energy and blood, It would not be fun to fill up your already low brain capacity and kill you with one shot.
The calmness you showed that day still comes from the fact that you are an ability user, which is what I said about using force to correct it. You can break free at any time and kill the two of them, but you have not considered what I have suffered. threaten. Now you know that I was the consultant, but at that time, you were with the frail Mike. Your behavior was very likely to cause others to suffer for this. Doing this to a valuable chess piece can easily lose people's hearts.
Therefore, this can also indicate that your leadership skills are insufficient. "
The consultant continued: "Fortunately, Joseph Lucchese was also present that day, and I finally settled the matter after some effort. So you thought the opportunity had come, and immediately gave him advice, and this was the trap that night at the Wishbone Hotel. .
To be honest, I think it is very unwise to start a war. On the way to the hotel that day, I helped you analyze the situation and told you three strategies: upper, middle and lower. I just hope you will reconsider and sacrifice that idiot Sonny and continue. Maintaining a peaceful state will not have any impact on your net alloy trading, but you ignored it. You relied on yourself to prepare a wm2030 in advance, thinking that you had a chance to win that night, and went your own way.
Humph... You keep claiming that you are a consultant, but you always take the lead in those dangerous situations. This can only show that you are superstitious about force, but you are also overly arrogant and treat people without abilities as trivial, so you later The threat of force to the Genovese family was underestimated. "
DeWitt replied unhappily: "This is nothing more than an afterthought."
The consultant said: "It's your business if you think so. I won't argue with you in vain." He drank tomato juice and said: "I have been hiding since the night the war started. On the one hand, I don't want to be involved in the war. And being hunted pointlessly, on the other hand, I know that you will be very busy in the next few days, and gradually begin to realize that your decision-making is wrong. Until you are at your wits end, you will come to me again.
Sure enough, less than half a month later, you came, and you still showed up at a very bad time. I was communicating with my clients at the time. They were a small local mafia group. Their strength was much inferior to traditional Italian mafia groups like Lucchese or Genovese, but they were my clients. Meeting the 'local Chicago client' you picked up not long ago in mid-February is also what I just mentioned, the second of the two purposes."
DeWitt's eyes widened. Thinking of the scene at that time, he could only regret his carelessness.
The consultant smiled and said: "Neither Mike Byron nor I have a cousin, and there is no retired workers organization like the Tobacco Club. This can be said to be the biggest flaw I have exposed, but you still haven't delved into it. .
So I demonstrated what a real consultant should do, helped you check the information, and narrowed down Frank Genovese's location to a hotel. I hope you can use your brains and use diplomacy to end these ruins. I think the Genovese family may not be willing to sit down and talk to you, but you once again used force, which directly led to your arrest later.
Haha, with all due respect, everything you plan will exceed your original expectations within three steps, and you still think that you can sleep in a coffin with power and money, enjoy a king-like funeral, and become countless people after death. An object that peers strive to imitate and try to surpass.' I really thought it was funny when I heard it, so I had to advise, "Stop dreaming." "
The consultant sighed: "Later, you played the role of a murderer again, as if it was fun. You killed Ernie and found Genovese, but Sonny's idiot was against you. The family was already dissatisfied with your rapid rise to power and decided to betray you, so the police showed up at an inappropriate time.
You immediately chose to surrender, because the Genovese brothers did not see you kill Ernie with their own eyes, and you had never clearly stated in front of them that you were an ability user, so decisively pretending to be a grandson was the best way. , if you use your abilities to escape the police roundup, or accidentally kill a few police officers in the process, you will definitely be on HL's blacklist. If you are targeted by them, given your level of strength, what pseudonym should you use? It's all useless, and Net Alloy's smuggling plan will inevitably be shattered. "
The consultant finished another drink: "It is right to wait for the news to pass before escaping from prison. You have successfully concealed the fact that you are an ability user. But look at what you look like now." He shook his head: "Hey... Lucchese has long been He has lost his trust in you, and he has been hurt a lot by you. There is no use in coming back to him. He is currently considering blaming everything that has happened in the past month on you, and then put you and your The 'Net Alloy Plan' was used as the last trump card in negotiations, and as a last resort, one would exchange one's freedom with the police.
Well... I totally failed the test, you're so disappointing. To sum up, you like to take risks, don't know how to deal with people, your arrogance is not proportional to your ability, you don't think enough about the failure rate of the results, and you act like a "consultant" like a hooligan.
You are a gambler, DeWitt. If you are not a capable person, you may be just right in Sonny's position. If you are allowed to become big, you will lose your own life and the lives of others in vain. "
DeWitt put down the bottle. At that moment, he did not hide the murderous look in his eyes: "Hmph... Speaking of losing your life, do you think that after all this ridicule and belittling, I, a liar who worships force, will still let you live?" Leave?"
