Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 80 The Fourth Announcement Letter! (Please collect! Please follow up!)

"Hope Blue Diamond" is such a famous jewel, how could Kaitou Kidd miss it?

After seeing the news of the re-opening of the "Hope Blue Diamond" exhibition, Dean has already set it as the next action target.

If you can successfully steal this world-famous big diamond, you will definitely earn more amazing points.

"There is still half a month to prepare the plan, and there is still plenty of time."

Dean rubbed his chin, thinking to himself.

"Speaking of which, why is the canceled Hope Blue Diamond Exhibition being held again? Is it really because the venue is only found now?"

"Ophelia Jewelry Exhibition Hall is not very large, and its business conditions have always been tepid. What capital do they have to undertake the exhibition of 'Hope Blue Diamond'? And why does the Smithsonian Museum put 'Hope Blue Diamond' in Gotham?"

"Hmm... I always feel that something is not quite right."

While Dean is a bit concerned about the resumption of the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition, he has no intention of giving up on it.

What's more, he wanted to have a closer look at this diamond a long time ago.

In Dean's previous life, there was also a "Hope Blue Diamond", which is also world-famous and is also collected in the Smithsonian Museum.

Naturally, both share the same doom lore.

In the centuries before it was donated to the Smithsonian Institution, the "Hope Blue Diamond" was constantly being passed down in the hands of the rich and powerful around the world, and those owners who owned this diamond, from princes and aristocrats to wealthy businessmen, all died unexpectedly.

As if carrying some kind of death curse.

Such bizarre past legends made the 'Hope Blue Diamond' grow in popularity until it became the most famous and ominous gemstone on earth.

Of course, Dean knew very well that the diamond in his previous life had no death curse at all, and the legend of doom was just hype.

But the world is different now, magic really exists in the DC Universe.

The last target dragon egg ruby ​​necklace is a treasure with magical power.

So whether the "Hope Blue Diamond" in the DC world will bring bad luck to people, Dean thinks it's really hard to say.

Anyway, for such rumors, Dean has always had an attitude of preferring to believe what is true or not to believe what is not.

It can be said that if there is no system to cover the bottom line, Dean will not have any thoughts on "Hope Blue Diamond".

If you are not careful, you may be under the inexplicable death curse.

That's a curse, something that can't be seen or touched, and when the time comes, I really don't know how to die.

"Let's go to the Aofei Jewelry Exhibition Hall first. The place is not far from here, and it takes about half an hour to walk there."

After making up his mind, Dean carefully disguised himself and walked out of the house.

After a while, GCPD.

Director Offee walked into the gate of the police station worriedly.

"I want to see Commissioner Jim Gordon."

He came to the reception to identify himself, and then asked to meet Gordon after briefly explaining his purpose.

After listening to Director Offi's narration, the receptionist's expression became serious in an instant, and he quickly wired to the director's office to report.

Director Offee went to the meeting room to wait.

After a while, Gordon and Bullock walked in.

"You are Danilo Offi, and you run a museum now, right?"

Bullock was the first to ask.

"I heard that the Smithsonian Museum has loaned the 'Hope Blue Diamond' to your home exhibition hall."

Director Offee first nodded to admit that what Bullock said was true, then turned to look at Gordon and asked: "Hello, Director Gordon, may I ask who is..."

Although Brock has been working in GCPD for more than ten years, and has made great contributions and appeared on TV several times, his popularity among the citizens of Gotham is obviously far from that of Gordon, who is on the news every few days.

"He is Sergeant Harvey Bullock, my most trusted partner, you can say anything directly, don't worry."

Gordon introduces Brock Road to Director Offee.

"Okay, Commissioner Gordon and Sheriff Bullock, just over an hour ago today..."

Curator Offee began to tell the full story of what happened not long ago.

"So, what you mean is that someone pretended to be a staff member of the Smithsonian Museum, and looked through all your arrangements in the exhibition hall under the pretext of checking the security measures of the 'Hope Blue Diamond'?"

After Curator Offee finished speaking, Gordon frowned and asked.

"I really don't understand how you do things! You dare to take someone to visit the internal confidential facilities without verifying their identity in advance. No wonder your exhibition hall is always not big."

Brock on the side sneered.

"Harvey, don't say anything that has nothing to do with the investigation!"

Gordon shot him a sideways look and warned.

Curator Offi on the opposite side didn't feel offended, but lowered his head in shame.

"Sheriff Bullock is right. It's all my fault that I was too eager to cooperate with the Smithsonian Museum as soon as possible, and I was too eager to get their approval, so I made this stupid mistake."

"You don't need to blame yourself too much, Mr. Offee. According to your description, the face and voice of the pretender are very similar to the real staff member, and he is obviously proficient in disguise. It is understandable to be deceived under such circumstances."

Gordon turned to comfort curator Offee.

"Mr. Offee, let me confirm again. Given that the impostor is proficient in disguise and the reason for the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition, you suspect that the other party is probably Kaitou Kidd, but you haven't received the usual notice letter from him, right?"

"Yes, I searched all the locations I could find, but I didn't find any notices, nor did I lose any items."

Gordon and Brock looked at each other, and at the same time saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

Phantom Thief Kidd is proficient in disguise, and likes to pick gems very much. It is normal to focus on the "Hope Blue Diamond", and curator Offee will suspect that he is very reasonable.

However, judging from the past habit of Kaito Kidd committing crimes, he will definitely issue corresponding notice letters in advance, especially if he pretends to be such a person whose real identity can be easily exposed, it is unlikely that he will not issue a notice letter after being spotted.

Unless... Kaitou Kidd gave up the "Hope Blue Diamond", and the security measures of the exhibition hall made him quit and cancel the action plan?

In this regard, Gordon and Bullock are deeply skeptical.

Is there a possibility that it wasn't Kaitou Kidd who was posing as a Smithsonian staff member?

The two fell into deep thought.

"Sir, something has happened!"

At this moment, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open, and a small policeman ran over in a panic, holding a piece of paper just printed by the fax machine in his hand.

"Phantom Thief Kidd sent another notice!"

Hearing the police officer's report, Gordon stood up abruptly and grabbed the paper from the former's hand.

Sure enough, there was a notice letter from Phantom Thief Kidd written on it.

"The first day the emperor held the scepter,
The wheel of fate is about to turn two cycles,
The silver-winged magician obeyed the call of the priestess,

Come down to the pinnacle,

Admire the beautiful blue hope,

Sincerely, Phantom Thief Kidd"

(Hey, I really can't think of anything better than the last one, but it has been updated to this plot, so I have no choice but to make do with it, please bear with me, brothers)
