"So, Officer, that's what happened. We just wanted to track down the magician Jiang Shu and interview him, that's all. And then things turned out like this," Koichi Kojima was sitting in the interrogation room, pointing at the video on the Simulated Light Screen as he summarized to the imposing officer in front of him.
Having given a detailed explanation over the past half an hour, by now he had thoroughly clarified the whole sequence of events, though he wasn't sure if the officer opposite would believe his words.
Darkness enveloped the interrogation room, save for a single bright light hanging above the central black table, casting white luminescence that sketched the motes of dust floating in the air.
After a long moment, the dignified middle-aged officer finally made the last note on his Simulated Light Screen. He nodded toward Koichi Kojima and said gravely, "We understand what happened. Now, you need to wait here for the results."
