Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Eight submarines painted with the word "Layton" were patrolling the seabed, their lights crisscrossing and illuminating the otherwise dim ocean floor.

In the middle, inside a submarine docked at the treasure of King Cross.

Su Luoxue, Ouyang Muxue, and Wendy were gathered inside the submarine.

Through the high-definition camera mounted at the front of the submarine, they could see very clearly the wooden crates standing among the seaweed.

The wooden crate was enormous, over a meter long and eighty centimeters high. No one knew exactly what was inside, but according to the Leiden Group, it contained pearls and jewels of all kinds, and 20 billion US dollars was just a conservative estimate.

Looking at the treasure chest displayed on the screen, Wendy crossed her legs, fiddling with a Rubik's Cube in one hand and propping her head up with the other, appearing somewhat languid.

"Kaito Kid... I never expected that such an interesting person would emerge in the less than a year I've been gone."

Wendy had a smile on her lips and looked very casual.

Seeing her languid demeanor, Su Luoxue couldn't help but remind her:

“Miss Wendy, I suggest you take this seriously; this person is very difficult to deal with.”

Ouyang Muxue didn't speak, but judging from her expression, she fully supported Su Luoxue's words.

"Don't worry, I would never do something as foolish as underestimating my opponent before a match."

Wendy smiled and spoke, while turning her gaze to Ouyang Muxue.

"Ouyang, I remember you fought him before, right?"

Ouyang Muxue glanced at her and uttered a single word: "Yes."

"how do you feel?"

"He is a very difficult person to deal with, and his counter-surveillance awareness and disguise ability are very good. It is almost impossible to find him in a crowd."

Upon hearing Ouyang Muxue mention the words "disguise ability," Su Luoxue's hand holding the water glass stiffened slightly, and a strange expression appeared on her face, but she quickly concealed it.

"Oh? It seems you think highly of him."

Wendy stood up from her seat, walked to the large screen, looked at the treasure chest displayed on the screen, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on her lips:

"I really like your Chinese culture. If I remember correctly, there is a scene in your country's famous work, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where two people write on their hands at the same time to confirm their plans."

"Have."

Ouyang Muxue's answer remained concise.

Wendy turned around, and the Rubik's Cube she had been playing with in her left hand had been solved without her noticing.

"We don't need to write it on our hands, we can just type it on our phones and guess what method Kidd is planning to use this time, how about it?"

……

Chapter 182 What method does Chen Feng intend to use?

Looking at Wendy in front of her, Ouyang Muxue thought for a moment and then slowly nodded.

"can."

After receiving Ouyang Muxue's reply, Wendy turned her gaze to Su Luoxue: "Su, you should come too."

"I?"

Su Luoxue was taken aback, seemingly not expecting that she would be involved in the conversation between the two detectives.

Am I... suitable?

"Of course, you have the most contact with Kidd and know him best, so your judgment is very important to us."

Wendy began to explain.

Su Luoxue nodded slightly: "Alright then..."

As soon as Su Luoxue agreed, Wendy and Ouyang Muxue both took out their phones and started typing. Clearly, they already had their own ideas.

Only Su Luoxue kept her finger on the screen, hesitating to drop it.

"What methods will Chen Feng use?"

Su Luoxue pondered to herself.

While she was pondering, Wendy and Ouyang Muxue had already finished typing. However, they were not in a hurry and simply stayed quietly in place, waiting for Su Luoxue to finish her thought.

Su Luoxue stared intently at the screen. In the middle of the water plants, the box containing King Cross's treasure still stood in the same spot, with a few fish swimming around it...

"Fish... Chen Feng's announcement mentioned 'visitors from the seabed'..."

Thinking it over, Su Luoxue suddenly looked up and said, "I understand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Luoxue didn't hesitate and immediately lowered her head to write her answer on her phone.

"I've finished writing."

Su Luoxue looked at Ouyang Muxue and the other person with a smile.

"Alright, I'll count to three, and then we'll reveal them together."

Wendy walked over and started talking.

Ouyang Muxue also stood up from her chair and came to the two of them, and the three of them stood face to face.

"one two three!"

As the number "three" fell, the three people simultaneously showed their phones, and three answers were immediately presented in front of them.

Wendy wrote "shoal of fish," and Ouyang Muxue's answer was just as short as her words, just one word "fish." Su Luoxue's answer was a little longer, "fish, especially large and medium-sized fish."

"really."

Wendy smiled. "I've looked at Kidd's file before. He's a very skilled guy with an unbelievable ability to tame animals. He especially likes to use white doves as cover to steal items, but..."

Wendy looked at Su Luoxue's phone: "Su, why did you specifically emphasize large and medium-sized fish?"

"Um……"

Su Luoxue was silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head and said:

"About half a year ago, I saw Chen Feng riding a huge whale across the ocean. Judging from the reflection in the water, it should be a humpback whale that is about 20 meters long."

The enormous creature, capable of devouring hundreds of small fish in a single meal, was like an obedient child in Chen Feng's hands, completely at his command.

Moreover, Kidd's target this time is King Cross's treasure, which weighs hundreds of kilograms. He absolutely cannot carry this chest from the seabed by himself alone.

"A humpback whale that is about 20 meters long..."

Wendy muttered to herself, "That's truly an incredible animal taming ability."

Ouyang Muxue, who had been silent until now, finally spoke:

"Alright, Luoxue, you don't need to worry about this happening this time. Although we are also on the seabed, it is a shallow area. Super-large fish like adult humpback whales can't get here. We just need to be more careful of medium and small-sized fish."

"Ah."

Su Luoxue nodded, but didn't say anything more.

"Alright, let's go back to land first. I'm starving. I'm going to have a big meal once we get back up there!" Wendy said casually.

"Okay, let's go back to shore first."

"it is good."

The three quickly reached an agreement.

What they didn't know was that right outside the submarine, a small fish with a miniature camera strapped to its body was looking around.

Inside the hotel.

Looking at the screen on the computer, Chen Feng smiled slightly: "You've prepared very well, everyone."

"What are you doing?"

A slender arm suddenly reached out and wrapped around Chen Feng's front.

Amy then rested her head on Chen Feng's shoulder and looked at the laptop screen with him.

"What is this? Finding Nemo?"

Looking at the screen on the computer, Amya couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Pretty much, that's where I'll be operating this time," Chen Feng replied with a smile.

Amy wrapped her arms tightly around the person in front of her and asked gently, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Hmm... If possible, I need you to be one of the most important audience members at my performance."

"Of course, my little man."

……

Following the issuance of Chen Feng's notice.

News reports from all over the world, especially in the United States and China, are almost everywhere covering this topic.

Many people even made a special trip to the area on New York's East Coast where the "King Cross's Treasure" is stored, and the dense crowds almost filled the entire beach.

If Ouyang Muxue hadn't promptly ordered a restricted area to be designated as a no-entry zone, prohibiting anyone from approaching, the sea above the King Cross's treasure would likely already be teeming with people.

at the same time.

The pursuit team has also released the operation timeline mentioned in Chen Feng's pre-announcement letter.

Actually, it's not that difficult. "Artemis" is the moon goddess in Western mythology. The complete form of Artemis should refer to the full moon, which is around the 15th day of the Chinese lunar calendar. The closest one is naturally the 15th day of the first lunar month, which is three days from now.

"The arrival of Artemis in her complete form, radiant with light" clearly refers to the moonlight.

Putting it all together, it naturally indicates the time of Chen Feng's actions: on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in China, Chen Feng will arrive to steal King Cross's treasure.

The news immediately sparked excitement among Chen Feng's fans in the United States, especially in New York City.

"Three days from now, just three more days, and I'll be able to see KID live."

"God, I need to buy a plane ticket right now! I need to fly to New York immediately! I need to be there! I need to see KID in person!"

"Stop your fuss upstairs. I just checked, and almost all flights from various places to New York are full. Right now, scalpers are selling tickets from San Francisco to New York for more than three times the market price!"

"Oh no... what should I do? I really want to go to the scene..."

"Fuck! Those swindlers from the Layton Group! They've actually fenced off that beach, and you have to buy a ticket to get in! 500 US dollars a ticket, it's utterly shameless!"
