Perhaps this seemingly redundant approach is part of the art he loves. However, this time he didn't do the same as before......"

"The paranormal event that the staff found didn't happen on the same day, so it probably wasn't because there wasn't enough time for the thief to do what he was used to. ”

Alice picked up Levy's words, she had just seen the rumors shown in the information sent by Kuroki Ganya, some of which were at least a few days apart from the events, and these were also specially marked by Hei Tonggan, apparently the young man with glasses also thought it was worth noting.

"That's right, the haunted rumors that Hei Tong summed up, the first sighting rumors and the last one were nearly a month apart. It is precisely because of the fact that strange things always happen that it lasts for such a long period of time, that it makes people feel that this is not an ordinary coincidence, but that there is indeed a supernatural event. Otherwise, the old employee who has worked here for many years may not be so resolute and suddenly propose to resign. ”

Although for ordinary human beings, there are many small things that are actually very scientific, but they are easy to be misunderstood and misunderstood. But even if normal people always say that they are afraid of ghosts and ghosts, after all, none of them have really seen it with their own eyes, and if it weren't for the frequent occurrence of strange things, it would be difficult to think about haunting all at once, let alone be so scared that they have to give up the job they have been accustomed to for many years.

Choosing to quit your job in middle age is not an easy decision to make. Why is it that the seemingly various laws and regulations for the protection of workers are so complete and perfect, but the employees of many companies are still so vulnerable, even if they encounter an incident that infringes on their rights and interests, there are still few who dare to fight with the boss on the basis of reason. It's because they don't want to lose their jobs, and they are afraid of losing their jobs and they are born in a weak and passive position.

Although young people who have just entered the society are inexperienced, they have the momentum of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, the creativity that is not bound by the inherent thinking, and the good physique that can withstand the pressure of higher intensity work. This is their multifaceted advantage over the older employees in the same position, and those veteran employees may not have the experience and proficiency that are important in their own phenomenon, and it is really difficult for them to overwhelm the young newcomers in the competition.

Although Levi has been a teacher in the same school for more than ten years, he has never changed jobs. In addition, the teaching profession is also somewhat similar to some other professions. However, even if he only watches the news and listens to the small talk of his colleagues, he also knows the difference between new and old employees in various industries.

For example, the salary promised to a newly recruited young recruit is even higher than the starting salary of a new contract for an old employee who has worked for the company for many years, resulting in the so-called 'unspoken rule' in society that if you want to raise your salary, you have to change jobs.

However, those so-called unspoken rules are only for young people who are still young and competitive in the workplace. It is not easy for middle-aged employees to find a good job with a decent salary after resigning. Bosses tend to look for capable young people, how many people like to recruit those who are old?

For those who do not have a skill, only the 'familiar' old employees who have worked for many years. Quitting a job, if not a job, is at least a risky event. But if there is not a really unacceptable problem, how many elderly people will choose to resign casually?

"Since it's not that there is no time, it's that the thief deliberately didn't do what he was used to?"

Although Alice doesn't understand the twists and turns of the modern workplace, she also knows that people are reluctant to change their habits. Just like herself, if it is not necessary, even some habits that don't make much sense, she will never change them casually.

"I think it's probably because the thief didn't steal the painting out of his own preference, but because his organization had him on a mission. ”

Levi looked at the painting and then at the vacant space in the display case, and considered whether to take the fake with him and give it to Kurokiri Kanya or Tio to analyze and study it.

If you want to take it away...... It shouldn't be too difficult to use Alice's skillful hands as a puppet and use magic to make a fake again. Or if you really can't call Ryoko Asakura over to help, there's almost nothing she can't do with Yuki Nagato anyway, right?

"If it's that organization that needs this painting and doesn't want to be discovered. Then it makes sense to send that strange thief to steal the painting, and then put a fake that ordinary people can't find in a short time. ”

"Well, if it were me, I would do the same. ”

Alice nodded. Although she has never been a thief, she also thinks that this kind of operation is the style of a normal thief. What a strange thief or something, she sounded like a pervert who deliberately showed off her skills. And the human magician he was familiar with...... Although everyone in Gensokyo is used to calling her a thief, Alice actually thinks that the girl is more suitable to be called a 'robber'.

How can a thief use a magic cannon to directly blast open the walls of someone's house, run in front of the owner, take something, turn around and fly away on a broomstick?

"If the thief wanted to steal the painting himself, it was mostly because of the artistry of the painting. But if it wasn't for him wanting to steal, it was the task given to him by the organization. Most of them have nothing to do with whether the painting is good or not, but what is the secret of the painting itself...... I'm not good at this kind of guessing, so I still have to find a professional to help. ”

Levi had just sent a picture of the painting. Although if the secret is not in the 'picture' of the painting, but something like a secret code hidden behind the canvas, then this fake is of little value to study. But anyway, I don't know what's going on now, so if I show it to a professional detective, maybe I can find some clues?

"Alice, can you make a similar copy of this picture, so that ordinary people don't see at a glance that it's fake. ”

"Absolutely. ”

Alice looked at the painting and answered with no difficulty at all.

"In fact, if you just hide it from people for a short time, you don't even need to make fakes. A little illusion will do. ”

"Oh, yes, you're right, you don't have to make a painting, you just use illusions. Well, it's the kind of illusion that disappears in a day or two. ”

Levi snapped his fingers. Alice's words reminded him.
