Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

“On the night of Frigga’s Day, as the clock strikes zero, I will take away the pink lion.

Yours sincerely, Kaitou Kidd"

In the director's office, Chen Long looked at the Kidd notice in his hand with a shocked expression.

Even an archaeologist who has been traveling around the world for many years would have heard of Kaitou Kidd's name.

Especially when the archaeologist happens to have a special police chief friend, Chen Long still has a certain understanding of Kaitou Kidd.

Chen Long didn't have any special impressions of this thief who behaved strangely.

After all, he is not the kind of "scholar" who only likes to dig up gold and silver treasures. Historical relics are what fascinates him the most.

What's more, Kidd returns the treasures he gets almost every time. He even saved Gotham not long ago, so he doesn't look like a bad guy.

Therefore, Chen Long was not worried at all that the Phantom Thieves would target those precious cultural relics.

Chen Long, who thought he would never have a chance encounter with this legendary thief, never expected that the reality would be such a coincidence.

"Chen...Mr. Chen, Kaito Kidd obviously wants to steal the Pink Lion Diamond. This is our treasure. Kidd must not steal it!"

The curator looked towards Chen Long with hope.

"Mr. Curator, I am just an archaeologist, not a secret agent. You should seek assistance from the police immediately. I can help you contact Chief Black."

Although I don’t know why the curator would ask a mere archaeologist like him for help, Chen Long is used to helping others.

At the same time, he also had secret considerations.

"Dad just recently discovered that the snake charm is in this museum, and Kidd's notice letter was delivered here. Is it a coincidence..."

"The reports about Kidd mentioned that Kaitou Kidd has always liked precious gems, and there are very few people in the world who know about the existence of talismans. He probably didn't come here for the talismans."

Chen Long breathed a sigh of relief.

The current Kaitou Kidd is not the same as when McGison first debuted. He can even steal a nuclear bomb, but what else can't he steal?

The name Kaitou Kidd has put tremendous pressure on gem collectors all over the world, fearing that one day they will wake up and see Kidd's notice.

It would be really difficult to deal with it if Kidd was not targeting diamonds but spells.

"No, we can't notify the police!"

Who would have known that as soon as Chen Long said what he wanted to inform Chief Blake, the curator stopped him hastily.

"It's impossible for those police officers alone to stop Kaito Kidd. Legend has it that Kaitou Kidd is proficient in disguise technology. If there are more police officers, they are helping Kidd!"

"So far, the police have not defeated Kidd once, which is the best proof."

The curator's reaction made Chen Long a little confused. He didn't expect the curator to be so distrustful of the police.

In fact, the curator did not trust the police, but this was not the reason why he was unwilling to call the police.

"The case of Kaitou Kidd will definitely require the New York Police Department to respond with all its strength. I'm afraid the museum will be severely investigated. Then won't my stealing and selling treasures be exposed..."

The curator thought to himself.

"There are too many museums in New York, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art... Compared with these large museums with rich collections, this small museum I run has too little to offer. "

"Without the world-famous treasure exhibition, the museum can attract very limited tourists and its revenue is even more limited. Sooner or later it will be forced to close."

If it weren't for the Pink Lion Diamond, a rare large pink diamond that serves as the centerpiece of the museum, this museum would have been closed long ago.

With the changes of the times, fewer and fewer people are still willing to visit museums. Many museums do not even charge tickets in order to maintain their popularity.

That's why the curator was so polite to Chen Long. After all, there were too few people willing to donate cultural relics to his museum.

Even so, the management of museums has become worse and worse in recent years.

Not only him, it is said that even the large-scale Natural History Museum is about to undergo a big change due to an unknown incident.

As a result, the curator's mind became active, and he began to secretly try to exchange the collections in his own museum, sell the genuine ones, and leave the fakes in the museum.

The museum does not belong to the curator alone. Most of the collections are in the names of the major shareholders behind them, so he does not feel bad at all when these collections are sold.

But if the shareholders knew about this, they would definitely kill him.

Therefore, the curator cannot let Chen Long call the police. If the police find any clues about black transactions, otherwise ten lives will not be enough for him to die.

He even didn't want to make the notice letter public. As for Kidd, he might send the notice letter directly to the police, so he would have no choice but to refuse the police's assistance.

Of course, he couldn't tell Chen Long these words, so he used the banner that the police were incompetent and couldn't catch Kaitou Kidd, and acted like he didn't trust the police.

"Uh... Mr. Curator, since you don't even believe the police, why did you stop me just now?"

Chen Long scratched his head and laughed dryly.

The curator was stunned and looked up and down at Chen Long strangely.

"Mr. Chen, now is not the time to joke. Didn't you come to me today just to protect the Pink Lion Diamond? Well, I apologize for my rudeness and stupidity just now. Mr. Chen, please help me."

Chen Long is still very famous in the archaeological community. It is said that he is very skilled. The curator does not know how skilled he is, but there is no other way except to ask Chen Long for help.

And he has known Chen Long for a long time, and he is not worried that Chen Long will be interested in diamonds.

"Ah? What? No, Mr. Curator, I came here for the protection spell, not the Pink Lion, and I am not talking about Kidd, I am talking about the Black Hand..."

Chen Long was shocked when he heard this. This misunderstanding is a bit big, and he hurriedly explained.

Unfortunately, the curator seemed to have identified Chen Long and interrupted him directly.

"Mr. Chen, don't say anything, come with me!"

The old curator grabbed Chen Long's wrist and walked towards the door.

Come out of the office and go straight forward along the corridor.

"Turn left from the front, and it is the room where the Pink Lion diamond is stored."

The curator talked to Chen Long while walking.

What they didn't realize was that a tourist not far behind the two of them was looking at their backs with a playful smile.

"How can I not accept the police's help? A performance without an audience is meaningless..."

"I thought that with my current fame, I could just send a notice and it would be a big deal, but I didn't expect to have to go to the police station in the end. It's really troublesome."

"But the curator's attitude is a bit wrong. Even if he doesn't trust the police, there's no need to react so strongly. I hope it won't be a troublesome thing..."
