Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Chen."

Sato Miwako didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement.

She had only come out for a coffee break during her lunch break, but when she saw that this coffee shop, which had been closed for several months, had suddenly reopened, she went in out of curiosity.

As for Chen Feng's cooking skills, Sato Miwako wasn't too concerned. If it really wasn't good, she could just stop coming next time, and there wouldn't be any loss.

After Sato Miwako sat down, Chen Feng said "Please wait a moment" before going to the front desk and skillfully processing the coffee beans.

Before long, Chen Feng brought out a steaming cup of coffee and placed it in front of Sato Miwako.

Please enjoy your meal.

Chen Feng smiled and spoke.

"Thank you."

Sato Miwako took the coffee, picked up the spoon, gently stirred the coffee in front of her, blew on it twice, and then slowly brought it to her lips to take a small sip.

"Ok?"

After taking one bite, Sato Miwako's eyes widened instantly.

The rich aroma of coffee and the creamy fragrance of milk burst perfectly in your mouth, while the sweetness of sugar blends with the bitterness of coffee, retaining the original flavor of coffee while also offering a unique taste.

"This coffee..."

Sato Miwako murmured something, took another bite, and then looked at Chen Feng with a face full of surprise, even changing her address from "Mr. Chen" to "Mr. Chen".

"Mr. Chen, how did you make this coffee? It tastes so good!"

In response to Sato Miwako's curiosity, Chen Feng replied with a mysterious smile, "I'm sorry, ma'am, this is a trade secret."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. I just thought this coffee was so delicious that I was a little curious."

Sato Miwako quickly waved her hand to indicate that she had no other meaning.

"It's alright. You're welcome to come anytime if you like, beautiful... Ms. Sato Miwako."

As he spoke, Chen Feng placed his hand in front of Sato Miwako and snapped his fingers lightly.

In an instant, a purple rose appeared out of thin air and was presented to Sato Miwako.

Sato Miwako's face flashed with surprise, but she quickly recovered and took the flowers, saying "Thank you."

The two chatted briefly before their conversation was interrupted by a loud phone ring.

Sato Miwako gave Chen Feng an apologetic look before answering the phone.

"Mao Xi? This is Sato Miwako. Who are you looking for? Is it an emergency requiring us to gather? Now? Yes, yes, I understand. I'll be right back."

After hanging up the phone, Sato Miwako didn't stay any longer. She briefly told Chen Feng and then hurriedly left.

Half a cup of unfinished coffee remained in the cup.

Watching Sato Miwako's departing figure, Chen Feng's lips curled into a mysterious smile.

Without saying anything, he tidied up the room a bit, closed the shop, and went outside to buy things.

the other side.

Sato Miwako, who had been in a hurry, arrived at the door of the conference hall. She quickly straightened her clothes and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong-

"Please come in."

A male voice came from inside the conference room.

Sato Miwako pushed open the door and entered, but the serious scene inside surprised her.

Inside the room, almost all the key officers from the First and Second Divisions, including Inspector Megure Juzo of the First Division, Inspector Nakamori Ginzo of the Second Division, and Takagi Wataru, were present. Their serious demeanor made Sato Miwako wonder if the mayor of Beika City had been assassinated.

"Oh, it's Miwako. Please have a seat."

Megure Juzo waved his hand and spoke, but his furrowed brows suggested that this matter was not simple.

Sato Miwako didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly found a seat that wasn't too far forward or too far back.

As soon as she sat down, her best friend, another policewoman from the Metropolitan Police Department, Miyamoto Yumi, came up to her from the side:

"Miwako, do you know what happened? Why do you all look so serious?"

Miwako Sato shook her head: "I don't know either. I was having coffee when I received the notice of an emergency meeting and rushed back. I don't know what happened yet."

Upon hearing Sato Miwako's words, Miyamoto Yumi seemed to be saying something, but before she could finish, she heard Inspector Megure's voice from the stage and had to stop talking.

"Everyone, I've urgently called you back during your break because something has happened. Officer Nakamori will tell you the details."

Chapter 198 The Ring of Amoeite

"Cough cough..."

Nakamori Ginzo walked onto the stage with a serious expression and placed the documents in his hand on the table: "Everyone, just today, the Beika City Museum received a notice. Please take a look."

As he spoke, Nakamori Ginzo opened the documents that had been prepared behind him, and a white card image immediately appeared before everyone's eyes:

The black queen's crown was removed by the rude one, the white knight's lance was pointed at the northwest light, and silver wings swept across the moonlight two days later. I will personally go to pay homage to the Ring of Amoet.

— Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid!

"What is this? What does 'paying homage to the Ring of Amoait' mean? Isn't it just a matter of buying a museum ticket to see it freely?"

"Are you stupid? He doesn't mean to look! He means to steal! Steal the Ring of Amoeite!"

"What? Steal?"

"Yes, it's stealing, Phantom Thief Kid... I think I've heard that name before..."

"I know! This guy is the thief who committed several major crimes in the US in the last two months! He always sends out a notice before each operation, specifying what he wants to steal and the time of the operation. I never expected him to come to Japan..."

"There are thieves like this? How arrogant!"

Sato Miwako was also surprised. She had never seen a thief who would send a notice in advance, informing her of the time and target item before the operation...

The people below were discussing animatedly, but Nakamori Ginzo on the stage didn't interrupt them. He waited until everyone had finished their discussion before slamming his hand on the table to break the silence.

"Quiet down, everyone."

Nakamori Ginzo suddenly spoke, and everyone respectfully stopped their murmurs and looked in his direction:

"Please take a look, everyone. These are some videos I found of Phantom Thief Kid's operations in the United States. You can take a look."

As he spoke, Nakamori Ginzo switched the display screen to the video page, pressed the play button, and the video immediately started playing.

In the video, Chen Feng, dressed in white, stands leisurely on the rooftop of a high-rise building, holding the items he had just stolen, surrounded by a dozen FBI agents.

The next second, as more than a dozen FBI agents pounced on him, a large amount of white smoke suddenly billowed from Chen Feng's body. The smoke disappeared a few seconds later, but Chen Feng's figure had already vanished without a trace.

The video ended there. In addition, Nakamori Ginzo played several other recordings of Chen Feng's moves.

The methods employed included, but were not limited to: disguising oneself as an FBI agent and blending into the crowd, escaping by hang glider, summoning flocks of white doves to disrupt the scene before disappearing under cover, and so on. The sheer variety of methods left the officers on the ground completely bewildered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the video of this thief named Kidd. Before this, he had committed five crimes in the United States without a single defeat. The FBI and MI5 were helpless against him, and he was therefore listed as a world-class fugitive, with crime number 1412."

As soon as Nakamori Ginzo finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

Gurgle.

Someone swallowed hard, the sound clearly audible even in the quiet meeting room.

"Mi...Miwako, is this...really a thief?"

Sitting next to Miwako Sato, Yumi Miyamoto spoke uncertainly.

Sato Miwako shook her head, somewhat stunned.

If the person in the video wasn't holding the stolen item, she would have really thought they were a highly skilled magician.

Just then, a police officer's question drew everyone's attention:

"Didn't they say that Phantom Thief Kid would write the time of his operation in the notice? I didn't see that."

These words caused another disturbance at the scene.

"Yes, what is this? It's about a queen and a knight, but I can't tell what time period it's from."

"Did he forget to write it? Or did he send it to the wrong person?"

"No way? How could you get something this serious wrong?"

Everyone was talking at once.

Inspector Megure, however, had somehow stood up and was now standing next to Ginzo Nakamori.

"Quiet!"

Megure's voice echoed throughout the room, and silence returned.

Scanning the people present, Inspector Megure slowly spoke:

"This is the thief's target this time—"

As soon as the words were spoken, the screen changed again, transforming into a very valuable-looking ring. A wine-red gemstone was set in a rose-shaped slot, exuding nobility and elegance.

This is the Amoeite Ring, a collection that the Beika City Museum just borrowed from the Kyoto Museum.

Inspector Megure continued:

"Amoette is a Roman word meaning 'eternal love.' It was a birthday gift from the Eastern Roman Emperor Constantine IX to his queen, and it was of extraordinary value."

"As for the notice... it wasn't sent to the wrong address. It's just that this thief likes to present information in such cryptic sentences. I've already called in some outside help..."

Before he could finish speaking, the conference room door was pushed open.

A young man wearing a Teitan High School uniform walked in: "Good morning, officers. I am Shinichi Kudo."

……

A day slowly passed.

The matter of Chen Feng's notice also went viral online.

In particular, the video of Chen Feng's previous actions in the United States, which was reflected on Japanese social media, sparked a heated discussion online.

"What?! Phantom Thief Kid? Sending a notice before stealing? This thief is too arrogant!"
