Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

It's one thing if Kidd couldn't catch him, since we're used to it. But that Phantom Thief Rattlesnake, even though Fifth Qing had him under his control, was able to break free in the blink of an eye.

That's utterly shameful!

Sun Luo glanced at Fifth Qing, who was sitting to his right, without showing any emotion. He saw that Fifth Qing was still calm and composed, with a smile that had not faded from his face, calmly drinking his coffee.

"Alright, let's leave this topic here."

Sun Luo withdrew his gaze, looked at everyone, and said, "Let's all share our thoughts on this notice. Captain Wu, you go first."

"Uh...me?"

Wu Ming, the captain of the second team whose name was called, was taken aback. Noticing the gazes of everyone gathering around him, he slowly stood up, scratched his head, and said:

"Isn't that thief's favorite thing to do? He hides the timing or method of his operation in the notice. In my opinion, the first two sentences are just about the timing of his operation. As for the last sentence, 'He will shed his night-walking robes and quietly descend as an old friend of the mansion,' that should be the method he plans to use, but that's the meaning..."

Wu Ming frowned deeply, opened his mouth as if to say something, but then remained silent.

"Alright, sit down first." Sun Luo didn't make things difficult for him anymore, but glanced at everyone before looking away again.

"Let me share my perspective. The so-called 'lion full of flames' should refer to the sun. 'When the lion full of flames retreats and Gemini embraces on the horizon,' that is, the time of sunset when day and night alternate."

"As for the final phrase, 'Shedding his night-walking robes and quietly descending as an old acquaintance of the mansion,' I think it refers to him appearing as one of us, perhaps a member of the pursuit team, or perhaps someone from the museum..."

"what!"

"That's outrageous!"

The crowd was immediately aroused.

Although Chen Feng had disguised himself as a member of the pursuit team more than once or twice, this was the first time he had openly told them this. It was simply... that he didn't take them seriously at all!

Sun Luo did not stop the crowd from getting angry. Instead, he stood still and quietly observed everyone's reaction, especially the newcomer, Fifth Qing, who needed special attention!

To his surprise, Fifth Qing remained calm and composed, offering only a friendly smile when he looked at him.

"All right!"

Sun Luo waved his hand to silence the chattering crowd: "Starting tomorrow, everyone will have their identity checked before entering, and this will be done every half hour. That's all, meeting adjourned."

"Fifth Captain".

Just as Wu Qing finished packing his things and arrived at the entrance of the pursuit bureau, preparing to drive away, Fu Lingling suddenly called out from behind.

Fifth Qing turned around and glanced at her, then smiled and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with, Captain Fu?"

“Um…” Fu Lingling’s face flushed slightly:

"Does the Fifth Captain have any free time lately? If it's convenient, let's have a meal together and talk about work. After all, you're new here, so I can help you with anything you don't understand."

Fu Lingling lowered her head slightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

The remaining members of the pursuit team who hadn't left seemed to have noticed the situation as well, and they all stared in disbelief.

Is this shy and demure demeanor... still the female demon captain they remember?

"What are you looking at? It's time to get off work, hurry up and go." Lin Chuanxiong stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice to his teammates who were watching the commotion.

The team members didn't dare to say anything more. After glancing in that direction a few more times, they reluctantly looked away and pushed each other away.

After glancing in the direction the two were heading, Lin Chuanxiong turned and left.

Fifth Qing didn't pay attention to the others, but simply looked at Fu Lingling in front of him with a smile:

"Of course, I am very grateful for Captain Fu's care. However, I am indeed not available these two days. How about this, I will treat Captain Fu to dinner in a couple of days."

Upon receiving this answer, Fu Lingling's smile widened even more. Giving Fifth Qing no chance to back out, she said:

"It's a deal then! I'll be waiting for you!"

"Okay, definitely."

Fifth Qing nodded, watching as Fu Lingling, her face beaming with smiles, turned and got into her car. After waving goodbye to him, she also got into her own car and drove off into the distance.

Watching the other person's departing figure, a slight expression appeared on Fifth Qing's face, as if he were lost in thought.

He only looked away and got into the car when a black SUV slowly stopped beside him.

"Thank you for your help, Miss Mona," Fifth Qing said from the back seat.

The woman in the driver's seat was dressed in a clean and neat women's suit, with a cold expression. She was none other than Anna's assistant, Mona!

Mona's face remained expressionless; she simply spoke in a flat tone:

"You're welcome. I'm just doing the work my boss assigned me."

Upon hearing this, Fifth Qing simply smiled, reached out and touched his chin, then slightly bent his fingers and slowly applied force, and a complete human skin mask was peeled off, revealing the true face hidden inside.

Who else could it be but Chen Feng?

This scene made Mona glance at him a few more times through the rearview mirror before she spoke:

"I'm still very curious, how did you manage to fool the special inspection equipment of the pursuit team?"

Besides… there are only a few dozen level-eight pursuit experts in the entire world. If they really wanted to investigate, they could easily expose you, right? Aren't you worried?”

Seeing Mona's curious gaze, Chen Feng didn't rush to answer. Instead, he put away the human skin mask he had just removed and asked in return, "Miss Mona, have you studied magic?"

"magic?"

Mona looked puzzled, but still replied, "If you don't count the occasional conversations with the magicians the boss knew, then there isn't one."

"That's a bit of a pity."

Chen Feng raised his head, a meaningful smile on his face, and said:

"For a magician, props are an extremely important performance tool. If the props cannot be prepared before the performance, the performance will undoubtedly be a complete failure."

"Props..."

Mona repeated Chen Feng's words in a low voice, her face still showing a look of half-understanding.

However, seeing that Chen Feng did not intend to continue explaining, she did not ask any further questions.

Where do you plan to go now?

Chen Feng said, "Please take me to Xicheng first, since it's not convenient for me to go back to the hotel there given my current status."

Mona nodded without saying anything more, gently turned the car key, and sped away amidst the roar of the car engine.

……

at the same time.

Shangguan Meng, who had previously appeared at the museum, had already returned to the dessert shop and was sitting on the sofa on the second floor being questioned by her two older sisters.

He looked like a child who had just been caught doing something wrong, sitting on the sofa with his head down, huddled up and not daring to say a word.

Shangguan Lin, the eldest sister, sat opposite her, her shapely legs crossed, her face expressionless, looking at Shangguan Meng with a scrutinizing gaze.

"So you know how to come back? Tell me, what were you doing?"

"At the school..."

"Hmm?" Before Shangguan Meng could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a glance from Shangguan Lin, followed by an undeniable voice:

"to be honest."

Shangguan Meng shrank back in fright at her eldest sister's glare and could only look to her second sister, Shangguan Xi, for help.

However, Shangguan Xi simply shrugged, gave her a "good luck" look, and then turned her head away from looking at her again.

Second sister! That's so unfair!

Shangguan Meng felt a pang of unease, but then her eyes lit up. She stood up from the sofa, her previous caution vanished, replaced by a firm tone:

"I'm going to the museum..."

Shangguan Lin seemed a little stunned by Shangguan Meng's sudden assertiveness, pausing for a second before replying with an unfriendly smile:

"Well, Xiao Meng's wings have hardened quite a bit, even her older sister..."

Seeing Shangguan Lin approaching, Shangguan Meng quickly said, "But I'm not going there for myself!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Shangguan Lin asked.

Shangguan Xi also looked over here.

Seeing their gazes converge, Shangguan Meng suddenly became more assertive, puffing out her not-so-impressive chest and raising her head to say:

"I only went there because of my second sister! I had already guessed that Kid would go to the museum, so I risked being discovered to sneak into the museum. Then, through careful observation and seizing the right moment, I successfully found Kid disguised in the crowd!"

"what?"

"Xiaomeng, what did you say? You saw Chen Feng?"

As soon as Shangguan Meng finished speaking, Shangguan Xi and the other person were stunned for a second. After realizing what was happening, Shangguan Xi quickly smiled and hurriedly asked for more information.

"Of course!" Shangguan Meng said, half-truthfully and half-jokingly.

"His disguise was not bad, but how could it fool me? After a careful observation, I easily found him in the crowd!"

"..."

Shangguan Lin rolled her eyes at Shangguan Meng's words. It might be believable that she actually saw Chen Feng at the museum, since Shangguan Meng was indeed at the museum when Chen Feng sent the notice.

However, to say that she was able to see through Chen Feng's disguise...

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Shangguan Linke, who knows her sister's level perfectly well, doesn't believe a single word of it.

"And then? Did he say anything to you?"

Before Shangguan Meng could continue speaking, Shangguan Xi couldn't wait to ask a question.

Perhaps realizing she had gone a bit too far with her boasting earlier, Shangguan Meng straightened her collar and, instead of continuing her previous statement, said:

"Well... he said he'll be coming to see us in the next couple of days."
