Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

The entrance to the lobby on the second floor of the Suzuki Group building.

Dressed casually, Yuanzi was waiting at the entrance, glancing around every now and then, as if searching for someone.

Just then, a tall, slender figure appeared from around the corner and came into view of the garden.

"Chen! You're late again!"

Sonoko put her hands on her hips and spoke with a displeased expression.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll be more careful next time."

Chen Feng showed no embarrassment whatsoever and responded with a smile.

Looking at Chen Feng's ridiculously handsome face, Sonoko couldn't bring herself to express her displeasure. In the end, she could only say, "This is the last time!"

"Of course, beautiful lady."

As usual, Chen Feng handed a flower to Yuanzi, successfully extinguishing the last trace of anger in the garden.

He was invited by Sonoko to visit the Suzuki Group exhibition today.

Yes, that's right.

At the insistence of Mr. Jirokichi Suzuki, the Suzuki Group's jewelry exhibition will proceed as scheduled in two days, without any changes.

I heard that the old man is full of energy now, spending all his time at the exhibition, preparing props and such, planning to capture Kidd in one fell swoop!

Of course, Chen Feng didn't care much about this.

Looking around but not seeing anyone else, Chen Feng couldn't help but ask, "Where's Xiaolan? I don't see her."

"She brought a kid with her today, insisting on going to check out the ventilation ducts, saying that Kid could easily sneak in through the ventilation ducts. Kids are the worst."

Sonoko spoke with a displeased expression.

A quick glance revealed two figures, one large and one small, not far away:

"Hey, you're back."

Chen Feng looked in the direction Sonoko pointed and, sure enough, saw Ran and Conan.

"Hi, Mr. Chen, we meet again."

"Yes, we meet again. This little one is..."

Chen Feng smiled and looked at Conan beside him, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"My name is Conan! Conan Edogawa!"

Conan spoke in his childlike voice, his tone seemingly no different from that of the other children.

"Conan is Professor Agasa's relative's child, and he's temporarily staying at my house," Ran added.

"Oh? Little Conan Edogawa..."

Chen Feng smiled and slowly squatted down.

"Yes...yes, is there a problem, big brother?"

A fleeting look of panic crossed Conan's eyes.

Ran and Sonoko also looked in this direction.

Xiao Lan said in a low voice, "Chen Jun seems to really like children."

Sonoko nodded in agreement.

Looking at the bespectacled kid in front of him, Chen Feng spoke again:

"Well, there's no problem."

"call……"

Hearing this, Conan breathed a slight sigh of relief, but Chen Feng's next words made his heart jump again.

"It just feels like your name is a combination of Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle, like... someone made up a name based on those two."

Chen Feng stroked his chin, appearing deep in thought.

"Um...this...this..."

Conan's heart skipped a beat after hearing Chen Feng's words.

The reason is quite simple: the name Conan Edogawa was indeed created by combining the names of Edogawa Ranpo and Conan Doyle.

"Ah, my dad is a detective novel fan. He really likes those two authors, so he gave me this name, hehe..."

Conan forced down his pounding heart and put on a childlike smile, trying to get away with it.

Fortunately, Chen Feng didn't make things difficult for him. After hearing his explanation, he just smiled to himself and nodded.

"I see. I suppose Conan's father must be a very good detective."

"Uh... I..." Conan's brain started to think again.

Fortunately, Sonoko spoke up at that moment and saved Conan.

"Alright, Chen, it's getting late, let's go into the lobby first."

"Alright, ladies, please."

Chen Feng smiled and made a "please" gesture, which made Xiao Lan and Yuanzi laugh again.

Conan, standing to the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He frowned slightly as he watched Chen Feng's retreating figure.

"This Chen Feng..."

"Conan, hurry up and catch up!" Ran's voice came from behind.

"Oh, here it comes."

Chapter 222 Exhibition Hall

By this time, a considerable number of people had already gathered in the exhibition hall.

The group of officers from the Metropolitan Police Department's Second Pursuit Division, Suzuki Jirokichi, who was busy setting up traps to deal with Chen Feng, and some other invited personnel.

Yuanzi and Chen Feng walked together, and Yuanzi introduced them to each other.

"Look, this is the venue for this jewelry exhibition. There are more than 80 exhibits in total. However, since the jewelry exhibition will not officially start for another two days, most of the jewelry is still in the warehouse. There are only simple introductions and photos here, but no actual items."

Yuanzi pointed to the rows of blank display cases and began to speak.

The display cases were covered with exquisite photos, featuring everything from pearl necklaces to jade rings.

All the exhibits combined are probably no cheaper than the treasure of King Cross in Chen Feng's possession.

Moreover, this is only a part of the Suzuki Group's assets, which made Chen Feng sigh at the Suzuki Group's extravagance.

"Chen! Xiaolan! Come quick!"

Just as Chen Feng and his two companions were casually looking around, Sonoko's voice rang out again from the middle of the side exhibition hall.

Chen Feng and the other two followed the direction of the garden and eventually arrived at a separate display case.

"Look, this is the display case of the diamond necklace my dad just acquired—the one called 'Rose Kiss,' the one that Lord Kidd has his eye on."

If all goes well, I should be able to see Lord Kid here in two days.

Sonoko rested her chin on her hand, her eyes filled with anticipation and longing.

Ran and Conan looked on with exasperation.

No, people are coming to steal your things, what's with you being so happy? Does your dad know how "filial" you are?

Conan thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

"The garden?"

A deep male voice came from the side, instantly drawing the attention of Chen Feng and the others.

"Uncle."

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Sonoko greeted them obediently.

"Ah."

Jirokichi Suzuki nodded, a kind smile on his face, as he glanced over Chen Feng and the others.

"Are these all your friends?"

"Yes, Uncle, let me introduce you."

Yuanzi quickly approached Chen Feng and the others, introducing them one by one:

"This is Chen Feng, the young man I told you about before who makes really good coffee. This is Xiao Lan, my classmate and best friend. This is Conan, the kid who stays at Xiao Lan's house."

Hello everyone.

Jirokichi Suzuki smiled and nodded to the group.

Although the old man looked quite fierce, he was actually cheerful and kind, making it easy for people to like him.

"Hello, Mr. Jirokichi."

Chen Feng smiled and spoke.

"Oh, no need to be so polite. Since you are Sonoko's friends, if you don't mind, just call me Uncle like she does."

Jirokichi Suzuki spoke casually, without the slightest air of arrogance.

"Mr. Consultant, would you mind if I looked at the layout here?"

The staff member's voice came through.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Jirokichi Suzuki agreed, then looked at Chen Feng and the others again: "Have fun, I'll go get back to work."

"Goodbye, Uncle Jirokichi," Ran said.

"Goodbye."
