Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics - Chapter 228
Under the leadership of the curator, Chen Long reviewed all the security systems of the Pink Lion Diamond.
Neither of them noticed that in the process, a tourist had been following them far away.
Chen Long knew that now he couldn’t get away easily.
Although he was puzzled by the curator’s request not to notify the police, Chen Long didn’t think too much, but ran into the bathroom and dialed a certain phone.
“Hey, this is the old antique shop…”
An old voice sounded.
“Father, I found where the snake charm is!”
Chen Long said quickly, “But I’m in a lot of trouble now!”
“Then you don’t want to bring the snake charm back, you must not let the black hand get the charm.”
Hearing that Chen Long had found the spell, Dad interrupted him directly.
“But, daddy, this museum with the snake charm received a notice from the thief Kidd, he wants to steal it…”
“Hey, you said someone stole the charm? Then if you don’t hurry up and chase it, do you want to **** me off?”
Hearing this, Chen Long reluctantly touched his forehead.
“No! Daddy, listen to me, what Kai thief Kidd wants to steal is not a spell, but a pink lion diamond, the treasure of the town hall here.”
“If the treasure of the town hall is stolen, this museum must be closed, so the curator wants me to help protect the diamonds.”
In order to avoid father interrupting himself again, Chen Long finished speaking in one breath.
Who knows, when Chen Long’s voice just fell, his father’s anger came over.
“Chen Long! What the old man wants you to protect is spells, not diamonds! You are just an archaeologist, don’t be nosy.”
“Only magic can defeat magic, so let the police defeat the thief.”
The old man said leisurely.
“Okay, Chen Long, Dad is very busy, you can call Sheriff Black.”
He had to hang up after speaking, and Chen Long quickly stopped.
“That’s the problem, father, the curator doesn’t want to notify the police.”
The old man was silent for a few seconds.
“The boss himself doesn’t want to call the police, so you have no reason to care about that thief. Chen Long, the black-handed people may find there at any time. Do you want the charm to be taken away by them?”
“…I see, old man, the safety of the spell is more important than anything else.”
There are some things that Chen Long did not say, that is, the appearance of the notice has increased the vigilance of the museum by several levels.
Security is strengthened not only in the area of the Pink Lion Diamond Exhibition Hall, but also in all areas.
Taking away the snake charm is not a simple matter.
“It’s fine if you understand, one more thing.”
“What’s the matter, daddy?”
“Xiaoyu said she wanted an autographed photo of the strange thief.”
“what?”
Chen Long looked dumbfounded.
“One more thing, Xiaoyu has notified Sheriff Black.”
“What? Father, stop…”
“One more thing, Dad’s hot tea is ready, and there is no time to consume it with you.”
“One more thing, Xiaoyu has something to tell you.”
Before Chen Long could react, there was a slow sound of footsteps on the phone, and it was obvious that Dad had already left.
Immediately afterwards, an immature female voice rang.
“Hey, Uncle Long, I heard that you are going to see Kidd the thief soon, it’s so cool!”
Hearing this voice, Chen Long covered his forehead in pain.
This niece of his is the existence that gives him the most headache. She is only a primary school student, but she can often do many horrible things.
The good point is called the quirky spirit, and the ugly point is simply apostasy!
This time I ran into the strange thief Kidd, and God knew what Xiaoyu this girl would do.
“Xiaoyu, you should go write your homework now, I don’t know what kiddo kid is.”
Chen Long said bitterly.
“Uncle Long, it’s wrong to lie. I have heard all of what you said to Dad just now, and I’m about to notify Sheriff Black.”
“Oh no, Xiaoyu, you can’t… wait, you’re getting ready? Didn’t the old man say that you have told Blake?”
Chen Long suddenly realized that something was wrong.
“Hey~”
It was as if a devilish chuckle entered Chen Long’s ears.
“Indeed, but Sheriff Black did not actually answer the phone. Maybe he is busy investigating the intelligence of the Mafia…”
Before Chen Long could relax, Xiaoyu’s voice sounded again.
“Uncle Long, how about I go to the 13th district and tell him about this now?”
In San Francisco, a girl in an orange hoodie is sitting on the table in the Old Daddy’s antique store, holding an old-fashioned telephone that is out of step with this era in her hand.
The girl who looks like it should be lively and cute, but now there is a sly smile on her face, her eyes are turning round and round, not knowing what she is thinking about.
“No, Xiaoyu! Sheriff Black is already very busy, and the 13th District is in San Francisco, and this is New York. Sheriff George will not agree to Black coming here to enforce the law.”
The police system in the United States, just like their government agencies, each state and city has its own rules, and it is not easy for the FBI to intervene in a certain case.
The general rural cities are no more. Special cities like New York and Gotham have too frequent criminal activities, resulting in a much better staffing of the police station in this city than in other cities.
In the final analysis, the 13th district led by Black is just a secret agency specially established by the FBI for international terrorist organizations such as the Mafia.
They have no right to go to New York to work.
Otherwise, it would not be necessary to rely on Chen Long, an archaeologist, to help them complete some trans-state and even transnational missions.
But Chen Long knew Blake’s character very well. If he let the other party know that the Mafia and Kaito Kidd were looking at the same place at the same time, he would definitely not sit idly by regardless of the different goals.
Chen Long didn’t want his friend to be in a dilemma, so he couldn’t let Black know.
“Uncle Long, you want me to hide from Sheriff Black, but you have to promise me one thing.”
“Well, Xiaoyu, what do you want, blame Kidd’s signature, right? I can try, as long as I promise you to come to New York, everything is easy to say.”
Chen Long said helplessly.
“Bingo, you got the answer right, Uncle Long. Initially I only wanted a signature, but now I have changed my mind. What can be more exciting than seeing the thief Kidd in person?”
“No, I would never agree to this alone!”
“Then I have to go to Sheriff Black.”
Xiaoyu wrote lightly.
“Uncle Long, I will definitely be an obedient boy this time, you have to believe me, I promise you won’t cause trouble for you!”
“I will go with my father.”
Listening to his niece’s act of acting like a baby, Chen Long grew up for a while. After thinking about it, Xiaoyu had indeed settled down a lot recently, so he reluctantly agreed.
“Well, you must listen to what the old man said, don’t run around!”
“Oye, long live Uncle Long!”
A busy tone came.
Chen Long put away his mobile phone, walked out of the cubicle, and left the bathroom.
What he didn’t know was that not long after he left, a person walked out of the cubicle next to him.
“Spell, magic, thirteen districts, mafia… really got involved in trouble?”
“It’s all unheard information, kind of interesting…”
