Funina, please let me steal your heart!

"Because all of his pearlescent harpsichords can be considered equally valuable treasures. If I were a Phantom Thief, I would never let go of this great opportunity."

Linnett couldn't understand: "But...isn't the harpsichord a fairly large instrument?"

Not only is it big, but it's also incredibly heavy.

How can the White Cat Thief steal such a treasure?

It's impossible for him to just pick it up and run away, right? I've never heard of a thief being a strong man.

"What means she will use is not the point." Lin Ni speculated.

"What's the point?" Linnet gave up thinking.

"The point is - the special patrol team may also come. No, it should be said that they will definitely come."

Femini said anxiously: "Wouldn't that mean..."

"Yes, it was a very chaotic scene."

Linney explained further.

Once the Phantom Thief releases the warning letter, the special patrol team will take action and rush into Alkeen's mansion to protect it.

In this case, it would be even more difficult to obtain intelligence.

It is best to avoid direct conflict with the other party.

"The best way is to wait for them to fight each other, then we can enter the mansion and get intelligence as soon as possible. But there is another problem here."

Linnie frowned, "What if the special patrol team also noticed Alkeen?"

Linnet whispered, "Then the information might be taken away by them first."

"Yes... The difficulty of obtaining information from the Special Patrol Headquarters or even the archives of the Court of Justice is a world apart from that of obtaining it from the noble mansion."

Although we cannot be sure that this is the Special Patrol Team's plan, they must consider carefully before taking action.

Think of all the possibilities and factor them into your plan.

That’s what Linney needs to do.

Life in the Hearth House is often accompanied by danger, and one may die if one is not careful when carrying out the orders of "Father".

Several children had already died due to negligence, and he absolutely could not let this happen again, especially to Linnet and Femini.

Alechino watched the three people discussing in silence.

Linny said in distress: "This is really tricky, White Cat the Phantom Thief... What do you think, Luna——"

The only response I got from blurting out words was dead silence.

"Brother." Linnett said expressionlessly.

“Sorry, sorry…”

Femini shook her head. "No need to apologize. She is indeed the best among us. Whether it is infiltration or combat... we always relied on her in the past."

“It used to be,” Linnet added.

Femini dropped her eyes.

"Um, 'Father'..."

There was no expression on Alecino's face: "Just say it."

".....Why didn't you execute Luna?"

Anyone who betrays Hearth House in any form will be punished, that's the rule.

But Luna, who left the Hearth House, was not executed by Alechino.

Why? This is also the question on the minds of other children.

Linny and Linnet looked at Arlecino in silence.

Alechino stared at them quietly until they all looked away in awe, then he slowly said:

"Maybe the time has not come yet. Maybe, as you think, she did not betray us. What the outcome will be is actually up to her to decide. I am just waiting for her now."

"Wait?" Linnet couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I am waiting for her answer."

Arlecchino glanced at the figure in the newspaper.

That was the White Cat, the Phantom Thief who appeared at the banquet. He was arrogant, gorgeous, and flamboyant, not at all like the child she remembered.

But as her "father", Alechino would not admit his mistake.

Kaito White Cat... Kaito Luna...

Depending on her decision, Alechino will decide whether there will still be a place for her in the family.

It will determine her life and death.

56: The Phantom Thief is Undefeated by Traps (Part )

"Goodnight, then, Linnet."

"Ah."

Saying goodbye to Linny, Linnet returned to her bedroom.

In order to fight, she knew she had to get a good night's sleep to regain her energy.

But perhaps it was because I heard the familiar name after a long time, I didn't feel sleepy even with my eyes closed.

The clock ticked, and Linnet finally sat up and went to the window.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, the moonlight is soft and cool, just like that night.

"Your name is?"

"Lin...Linette..."

"My name is Luna. Let's escape together. With the moonlight guiding us, we will be fine!"

Luna was still young like her at that time, and her hands also had some baby fat, and were incredibly warm and soft.

But at that time it could bring people infinite sense of security.

"........"

Linnet looked at her palm, which was already wider than when she was a child.

But the hand that should have been held slipped away from her.

Linnet sighed softly. She shouldn't think about Luna who betrayed them anymore, but she always thought of her when she was alone.

It’s better not to think about it.

After rubbing her face, Linnet climbed back into bed.

The next day.

"The Phantom Thief White Cat has released a preview letter." Linnie said seriously.

"When?"

"It seems like it wasn't long ago. She will be in action tonight at 8 o'clock. I'm afraid the special patrol has already begun to protect Alkeen."

Phantom Thief White Cat, a character that appears suddenly.

With incredible abilities and powerful strength, he has never been outdone by any force to this day...

Speaking of which, it seems that "Father" didn't let us investigate her?

Is it that he doesn’t care, or does “father” already know something?

Linnet picked up the teacup and thought silently.

"Linnet, did you hear the plan?"

"I know. Don't underestimate cats."

Lini smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't underestimate you, but we have to be on our guard this time. The behavior of that thief is really hard to predict. I don't know what she will do."

Who is the Phantom Thief White Cat?

All three of them fell into deep thought.

at the same time.

Special Patrol Headquarters.

"Stand at attention! Take a break!"

Xia Wulei held the gun and said, "Just now, the White Cat Thief issued a warning letter. According to the 'compulsory protection' measures issued by the Law Enforcement Court within a limited time, we will go to protect the victim Alkien next."

Mandatory protection - this is a measure established by the top brass of the Law Enforcement Court to combat the increasingly rampant activities of phantom thieves.

Anyone who receives a letter of warning from a phantom thief will be forcibly protected by the special patrol team and the security team.

Otherwise, there will be no fool challenging the Phantom Thief and ending up losing all his money.

Of course, Xia Wole naturally had no idea how useful this measure was, and it was not impossible for her to find a loophole.

But if the law enforcement court does not issue targeted measures, public opinion attacks will come.

"Arkeen? Isn't that the noble who was previously investigated as a suspect but for whom there was no evidence?" Tirena asked curiously.

"Correct."

"We are going to protect a suspect?"

"Correct."

"This..." Tirena had a complicated expression.

Xia Wulei said calmly: "It is 'possible suspicion'. Without evidence, there is naturally no way to try him."

She paused. “But on the other hand, as long as there is evidence that the law is violated, no one can escape trial.”

"meaning is?"

Xiawolei smiled slightly: "What I mean is, if we 'accidentally' discover something, there's nothing we can do."

"There's really nothing we can do about it!"

"That's it, then the special patrol team will be dispatched!"

...................

Inside Alkeen's mansion.

"Is it really necessary to mobilize so many troops?" Alkeen pushed his glasses, looking a little confused.

As soon as the door opened, several teams of special patrol and security forces were standing at the door. It was so scary.

Xia Wulei quickly looked around and said without question: "This is an emergency. Please understand."

"For details, please refer to the recent announcement of the Enforcement Court, which contains every provision and regulation regarding the 'compulsory protection' measures."

She waved her hand, and members of the special patrol team and the security team came in one after another.

"terribly sorry."

"excuse me."

"wish you a happy life."

What else could Alkeen say? He couldn't insult her.

He could only nod and give an ambiguous smile.

Click! The sound of the video camera suddenly rang out.

What the hell is going on!?

He looked down, and his eyes met with the clockwork mechanism...a clockwork mechanism that looked like a dog...no, it should be said that it was the camera.

After all, its head is a special camera.

Xia Wulei said casually: "We need it to detect the thief, please forgive me."
