Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

Under the leadership of the curator, Chen Long took a look at all the security systems of the Pink Lion Diamond.

Neither of them noticed that during this process, there was a tourist following them from a distance.

Chen Long knew that he could no longer escape easily.

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

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

An old voice sounded.

"Dad, I found where the snake charm is!"

Chen Long said quickly, "But I'm in big trouble now!"

"Then why don't you bring the snake talisman back quickly? You must not let the Black Hand people get the talisman."

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 received a warning letter from Kaitou Kidd, and he wants to steal it..."

"Hey, you said someone stole the charm? Then why don't you go chase it quickly? Do you want to make dad angry to death?"

Hearing this, Chen Long touched his forehead helplessly.

"No! Dad, listen to me. What Phantom Thief Kid wants to steal is not the talisman, but the Pink Lion Diamond, the treasure of the museum here."

"If the treasure is stolen, the museum will have to close, so the director wants me to help protect the diamond."

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

Who would have known that as soon as Chen Long finished speaking, his father's angry rebuke came over him.

"Chen Long! What dad wants you to protect is the charm, not the diamond! You are just an archaeologist, don't meddle in other people's business."

"Only magic can defeat magic, so let the police defeat the thieves."

Dad said leisurely.

"Okay Chen Long, dad is very busy, you can call Chief Black."

After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone, but Chen Long quickly stopped him.

"That's the problem, Dad, the director doesn't want to notify the police."

Dad was silent for a few seconds.

"The boss himself doesn't want to call the police, so you have no reason to care about that big thief. Chen Long, the gangsters may find him there at any time. Do you want the talisman to be taken away by them?"

"...I understand, dad, ensuring the safety of the spell is more important than anything else."

There was something Chen Long didn't say, that is, the appearance of the notice letter raised the museum's vigilance by several levels.

Security has been strengthened in all areas, not just the Pink Lion Diamond Showroom.

Taking away the snake charm is not a simple matter.

"As long as you understand, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter, Dad?"

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

"ah?"

Chen Long was confused.

"One more thing, Xiaoyu has informed Chief Black."

"What? Dad, please stop it..."

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

"One more thing, Xiaoyu has something to tell you."

Before Chen Long could react, there was a slow sound of footsteps on the phone. It was obvious that his father had left.

Immediately afterwards, a young female voice rang.

"Hey, Uncle Long, I heard you're going to meet Kaitou Kidd soon. That's really cool!"

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

His niece was the most troublesome existence for him. Although she was just a primary school student, she was often capable of doing many shocking things.

The good ones are called weird, the bad ones are simply deviant!

This time I bumped into Kaitou Kidd. God knows what this girl Xiaoyu will do.

"Xiaoyu, you should go and do your homework now. I don't know about Kaitou Kidd."

Chen Long said earnestly.

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

"Oh no, Xiaoyu, you can't...wait, are you getting ready? Didn't dad say you already told Blake?"

Chen Long suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Hehe~"

A devilish chuckle entered Chen Long's ears.

"Indeed, but Sheriff Black didn't actually answer the phone. Maybe he was busy investigating the mafia's intelligence..."

Before Chen Long could take a breath, Xiaoyu's voice sounded again.

"Uncle Long, what do you think I should go to District 13 and tell him about this now?"

In San Francisco, in Dad’s antique store, a girl wearing an orange hoodie was leaning on the table, holding an old-fashioned phone that was incompatible with this era.

The girl who looked like she should be lively and cute, now had a sly smile on her face, her eyes rolling around, wondering what she was planning.

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

The American police system, just like their government agencies, states and cities have their own rules, and it is not easy for the FBI to intervene in a certain case.

Forget about ordinary rural cities, special cities like New York and Gotham, because criminal activities are so frequent, the staffing of the city's police department is much better than that of other cities.

In the final analysis, District 13 led by Black is 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, they would not have to rely on Chen Long, an archaeologist, to help them complete some interstate or even transnational tasks.

But Chen Long knew Blake's character very well. If the other party knew that the Mafia and Kaito Kidd were eyeing the same place at the same time, no matter whether the goals were different, he would definitely not sit idly by.

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

"Uncle Long, it's okay if you want me to hide it from Chief Black, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Okay, Xiaoyu, what do you want, Kaitou Kidd's autograph, right? I can give it a try. As long as you don't have to promise me to come to New York, everything will be easy."

Chen Long said helplessly.

"Bingo, that's right, Uncle Long. At first I just wanted an autograph, but I've changed my mind now. What can I look forward to more than seeing Kaito Kidd in person?"

"No, I will never agree to this!"

"Then I have to go find Sheriff Black."

Xiaoyu wrote lightly.

"Uncle Long, I will be an obedient boy this time. You have to believe me. I promise I won't cause you any trouble!"

"I'll go with Dad."

Listening to his niece's coquettishness, Chen Long felt a headache. After thinking about it, Xiaoyu had indeed become more at ease recently, so he reluctantly agreed.

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

"Oye, long live Uncle Long!"

A busy tone came.

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

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

"Spells, magic, District 13, the Mafia...are they really involved in troublesome things?"

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