Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Sister, Mr. Arsen, this way please."

Sophie's cold gaze swept over the Royal Police officers present, who, who had been in a daze, quickly snapped back to reality and lowered their heads to continue their work.

……

Chapter 365 High Imitation

Sophie led the two people into the monitoring room, where only two Royal Police officers were busy. Upon seeing Sophie and Amya enter, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Your Highness Amya, Your Highness Sophie."

"Ah."

Sophie nodded slightly and said, "Retrieve the surveillance video from the museum lobby at 4:30 this morning."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Without any unnecessary words or questions, the two officers quickly began to operate.

My fingers tapped on the keyboard, and soon I brought up the morning's surveillance footage.

After receiving Sophie's permission, an officer pressed play on the video, and the screen on the computer began to change.

The silent lobby was deserted, except for the collection displayed in glass cases. Security personnel on duty passed by from time to time, and the light from their flashlights was the only source of light in the dark lobby.

Just then, a white dove suddenly entered the surveillance camera's view, immediately attracting the attention of the security personnel on duty.

To prevent the disobedient pigeon from damaging the museum, two security guards quickly grabbed whatever they could find and began shooing the bird away. Their urgent voices could be clearly heard in the surveillance footage.

Unbeknownst to them, while they were frantically trying to shoo the birds away, several balloons that appeared out of nowhere blocked all the surveillance cameras in the lobby.

Only one surveillance camera remained, facing the glass display case in the northwest corner.

Of course, no one doubts whether the perpetrator forgot about the surveillance footage. The only explanation is that the perpetrator deliberately left the footage to film!

"This guy is pretty arrogant."

Amya chuckled and whispered in Chen Feng's ear, to which Chen Feng nodded slightly.

Sophie, who had been watching Amya closely, noticed their little interaction. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

As for the two royal police officers, they were now watching the surveillance footage with utmost concentration, hoping to leave a good impression on Amya, the Crown Princess. Naturally, they wouldn't notice Amya's little actions.

About a minute had passed on the surveillance footage.

A figure slowly walked into the surveillance camera's view, making no attempt to hide.

He wore a neat white suit, a tall white top hat with a light blue ribbon tied on it, and even the four-leaf clover pendant hanging on his right monocle was exactly the same as Chen Feng's!

The resemblance between the two was so striking that even Amya was amazed.

In fact, if Chen Feng hadn't stayed with her the whole time since last night, she would have suspected that he had sneaked out to send out a notice while she wasn't looking.

Seemingly noticing the camera above, "Kaito Kid" in the surveillance footage looked up and gave a slight smile to the screen.

He then slowly raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and a blue rose with a white card attached appeared in his white-gloved hand. He presented the notice card like a treasure on top of the glass display case in the northwest corner, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"It really does look exactly like Chen Feng. Seeing this surveillance footage, I'm starting to wonder if Phantom Thief Kid has reappeared after three months."

Chen Feng spoke with a smile.

Sophie glanced sideways at the detective, who had been personally brought by her sister, and slowly began to speak:

"There are still some subtle differences. For example, the real Phantom Thief Kid is around 185 cm tall, while [Number Seven], even with the use of height-increasing shoes and a taller top hat, is only 182 cm tall. However, even so, his methods can be considered the best imitation of Phantom Thief Kid."

Is contestant number seven?

Amya suddenly spoke up.

Sophie hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"According to information from the United Government program team, this person can be basically confirmed as one of the contestants, but his true identity cannot be confirmed at the moment."

At this point, Sophie turned to a police officer beside him and said, "Go and get the notice we received."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

The police officer immediately stood at attention and, without daring to delay, quickly walked outside.

Less than two minutes later, when the police officer returned, he was carrying a wooden box.

Upon approaching the group, the police officer reached out and opened the box, revealing its contents.

"The white notice card... it does look quite similar."

Amy reached out and picked up the notice card that was kept in the transparent bag.

Chen Feng also looked over and saw a square white card with a familiar content style and ending, even the cartoon avatar was exactly the same.

[Notice]

When the hands slumber between "twelve" and "one," and the finest grains of sand pass through the most alluring slender neck for the thousandth time, the goddess blossoms in radiance, and I will surely come to visit the eyes of Chronos.

— Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid!

"This is still..."

Chen Feng pursed his lips slightly, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Had he encountered a counterfeit? A high-quality fake at that.

"According to the notice, we have temporarily obtained the time of his action, which is 0:30 a.m. Other information has not yet been deciphered."

Sophie's cold and beautiful face was devoid of any extra expression, as if she herself was a person who never smiled.

"There seems to be a problem with the timing."

Chen Feng took the notice card from Amya, glanced at it twice, and then put it back in the box.

What's wrong with this?

Sophie frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, only asking a question.

"The first sentence, 'the pointer is asleep between 12 and 1,' refers to 12:30 a.m., which I think is fine, but... that should just be the starting time."

Chen Feng reached out and closed the box, speaking calmly.

Amya remained standing there, smiling as she watched everything unfold, without making any move to interrupt.

She had confidence in her boyfriend, especially since this was something Chen Feng was good at and often did.

However, the two Royal Police officers around him were slightly taken aback when they saw Chen Feng's confidence, and their faces couldn't help but show a disdainful expression.

How could they possibly misinterpret such a simple, obvious meaning? Do they really think the Royal Police are idiots? This despicable guy is probably just saying that on purpose to gain attention from the two princesses.

Although the two Royal Police officers were filled with contempt, they didn't say anything on the surface. They stood obediently to the side, not uttering a word, just waiting to see the guy in front of them make a fool of himself.

……

Chapter 366 The Shangguan sisters have also arrived?

"Start time? What does that mean?" Sophie asked, puzzled.

"Well..."

Chen Feng smiled and repeated the last two sentences of the announcement: "[The finest grain of sand passes through the most alluring slender neck for the thousandth time, and the goddess blossoms in radiance]."

"I think the 'goddess' probably refers to the Virgin Mary, and the 'blooming in radiance' means the day the Virgin Mary was led into heaven, which is August 15th, just one day later."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Sophie's eyes lit up, and he nodded, feeling that it made sense.

"But what does this have to do with the start time?"

Chen Feng didn't rush to reply. Instead, he magically produced a small hourglass from his pocket, turned it upside down on the table, and let the fine sand flow slowly from top to bottom.

"Aside from children's toys and specific hourglasses in laboratories, this hourglass is basically the most commonly used short-time hourglass, and the time it takes for it to run once is... one minute!"

As they were talking, the hourglass had completely filled the lower half of the container in exactly one minute.

Chen Feng continued, "Since each time takes one minute, let's start at 0:30 AM. The time for the 1000th time the hourglass finishes is..."

"17:10 PM!" Sophie calculated the exact time instantly and looked at Chen Feng in surprise.

At the same time, Sophie still felt a little scared.

Since it's related to [Kaito Kid], it will definitely be broadcast live.

Yesterday, the incident at Klodburg happened, keeping the entire Royal Police Force in Geerch up all night. They searched the city all night, causing quite a stir, but still found nothing.

If the timing of this notification letter is wrong again and it becomes a laughing stock, then even if she is a princess of the royal family, she will have no face to continue serving in the royal police force.

Not only her, but the two Royal Police officers next to her also looked at her with a change in expression: shock, admiration, and a hint of... jealousy.

"Mr. Arsen, would it be convenient to invite you to serve as a detective consultant for our Royal Police? I will calculate your fee at the highest market rate."

Sophie spoke with a serious expression.

Before Chen Feng could answer, Amya spoke first: "Sophie!"

"Yasen...he just arrived in Gerch and is quite busy, so he doesn't have time to serve as an advisor. But I think if he has the time, he will try his best to help you."

Of course, Amy couldn't let Sophie take Chen Feng away.

She kindly brought Chen Feng to help her, but Chen Feng wanted to steal her sister's boyfriend?

Chen Feng smiled and nodded in agreement with Amya's words.

This disappointed Sophie somewhat.

However, Amya's unusual reaction caught Sophie's attention.

In her memory, Amya was not the kind of person who liked to make decisions for others, so this reaction was quite unexpected.

Sophie kept quiet, but didn't say anything more.

Chen Feng chatted with Sophie for a few more minutes, and then left with Amya.

Of course, to avoid any unnecessary trouble, the two deliberately walked separately. When they reached a secluded spot, Amy reunited with Chen Feng, picked him up, and drove him back to the car, heading towards the private estate.

……

at the same time.

In a hotel in Geerch that is in a somewhat remote location.

Two figures were inside the room.
