Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 229 A Little Fan of the Phantom Thief
Under the leadership of the curator, Chen Long went through all the security systems of the Pink Lion Diamond.

Neither of them noticed that during this process, there was always a tourist following them far away.

Chen Long knew that now he could not escape easily.

Although he was puzzled by the curator's request not to notify the police, Chen Long didn't think too much about it, but immediately ran into the bathroom and dialed a certain number.

"Hey, this is Papa's antique shop..."

An old voice sounded.

"Father, I found out where the snake charm is!"

Chen Long said quickly, "But I'm in a lot of trouble now!"

"Then hurry up and bring back the snake charm, and you must not let the black hands get the spell."

As soon as he heard that Chen Long had found the talisman, his father interrupted him directly.

"But, Dad, the museum with the snake charm has received a notice letter from Kidd the Phantom Thief, and he wants to steal it..."

"Hey, you said someone stole the talisman? Why don't you hurry up and chase after it, do you want to piss your dad off?"

Hearing this, Chen Long touched his forehead helplessly.

"No! Dad, listen to me, what Kaitou Kidd wants to steal is not the charm, but the pink lion diamond, the treasure of the town hall here."

"If the treasure of the town hall is stolen, this museum must be closed, so the curator wants me to help protect the diamond."

In order to prevent his father from interrupting him again, Chen Long finished speaking in one breath.

Who knows, as soon as Chen Long finished speaking, the old man's angry reprimand came over.

"Chen Long! What Dad wants you to protect is a charm, not a diamond! You are just an archaeologist, don't meddle in your own business."

"Only magic can beat magic, so let the police beat the thief."

Dad said leisurely.

"Okay Chen Long, Dad is very busy, you can call Sergeant Black."

After finishing speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, but Chen Long hurriedly stopped him.

"That's the problem, Dad, the curator doesn't want to call the police."

Dad was silent for a few seconds.

"The boss himself doesn't want to call the police, so you don't have any reason to worry about that robber. Chen Long, the black hands may find there at any time. Do you want them to take the charm away?"

"...I see, father, keeping the charm safe is more important than anything else."

There are still some things that Chen Long didn't say, that is, the appearance of the notice letter raised the vigilance of the museum by several levels.

Not just one area of ​​the Pink Lion Diamond exhibition hall, but all places have strengthened security.

Taking away the snake charm is not an easy matter.

"It's good that you understand, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter, father?"

"Xiaoyu said she wanted a signed photo of the Phantom Thief."

"what?"

Chen Long was dumbfounded.

"One more thing, Xiaoyu has already notified Sergeant Black."

"What? Dad, stop it..."

"One more thing, Dad's hot tea is ready, and I don't have time to waste it with you anymore."

"There is one more thing, Xiaoyu wants to tell you something."

Before Chen Long could react, there was a sound of slow footsteps on the phone, apparently the old man had already left.

Immediately afterwards, a childish female voice sounded.

"Hey, Uncle Long, I heard that you are going to meet Kaito Kid soon, how cool!"

Hearing this voice, Chen Long covered his forehead in pain.

This niece of his was the one that caused him the most headaches. Even though she was only a primary school student, she was often able to do a lot of shocking things.

At best it is called eccentric, but at worst it is deviant!
This time I bumped into the Kaitou Kidd, God knows what this girl Xiaoyu will do.

"Xiaoyu, you should do your homework now, I don't know what Kaitou Kidd is."

Chen Long said earnestly.

"Uncle Long, it's wrong to lie. I heard everything you said to Dad just now, and I'm about to notify Sergeant Black."

"Oh no, Xiaoyu, you can't... wait, are you getting ready? Didn't daddy say you've already told Black?"

Chen Long suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Hehe~"

A devilish chuckle entered Chen Long's ears.

"Indeed, but Sergeant Black didn't actually answer the phone, maybe he was busy investigating information about the Mafia..."

Before Chen Long could breathe a sigh of relief, Xiaoyu's voice sounded again.

"Uncle Long, how about I go to District [-] and tell him about it?"

In San Francisco, in Papa's Antique Store, a girl in an orange hoodie is sitting on a table, holding an old-fashioned telephone that is incompatible with this era.

The girl who should look lively and lovely, now has a sly smile on her face, her eyes are rolling around, she doesn't know what she is planning.

"No, Xiaoyu! Sheriff Blake is already very busy, and the Thirteenth District is in San Francisco, and this is New York. Sheriff George will not allow Blake to come here to enforce the law."

The police system in the United States, just like their government agencies, has its own rules in every state and city, and it is not easy for the FBI to get involved in a certain case.

Ordinary rural cities are fine. Special cities like New York and Gotham, because of too frequent criminal activities, lead to a much better staffing of the city's police station than other cities.

The thirteenth district led by Black is in the final analysis just a secret agency specially set up by the FBI to target the Mafia and other international terrorist organizations. Its functions are at the same level as the FBI, but in fact it is weaker.

They have no right to come to New York to work.

Otherwise, it would not be necessary to rely on Chen Long, an archaeologist, to help them complete some interstate or even transnational tasks.

But Chen Long is very aware of Black's character. If he let the other party know that the Mafia and Kaito Kidd are eyeing a place at the same time, regardless of the different goals, he will definitely not sit idly by.

Chen Long didn't want his friend to be in a dilemma, so he couldn't let Black know.

"Uncle Long, it's not impossible for you to want me to hide the truth from Sergeant Black, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Okay, Xiaoyu, what do you want, Phantom Thief Kidd's signature, right? I can try it. As long as I don't promise you to come to New York, everything is easy to talk about."

Chen Long said helplessly.

"Bingo, you're right, Uncle Long. At first I just wanted an autograph, but I've changed my mind now. What can be more exciting than seeing Kaito Kidd with my own eyes?"

"No, that's the only thing I will never agree to!"

"Then I'll have to go to Sheriff Blake."

Xiaoyu wrote lightly.

"Uncle Long, I will definitely be an obedient boy this time, you have to trust me, I promise I won't cause trouble for you!"

"I'll go with Dad."

Hearing his niece's coquettishness, Chen Long felt dizzy for a while. After thinking about Xiaoyu's peace of mind recently, he reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, you must listen to your father and don't run around!"

"Oye, long live Uncle Long!"

There was a busy tone.

Chen Long put away his mobile phone, walked out of the cubicle, and left the bathroom.

What he didn't know was that not long after he left, a person walked out of the compartment next to him.

"Spells, magic, the thirteenth district, the mafia... Are you really involved in troublesome things?"

"It's all information that I haven't heard before, it's a bit interesting..."
