Preview letter: The Fool of April, under the red moonlight, at the crossroads of the world, I will give a wonderful performance...
- Kaitou Kidd.
…
"...Regarding the multiple vicious deaths that have occurred in the third neighborhood of West Midtown, Manhattan in recent days, the police in the borough stated..."
"Uh, sorry, Kate, for interrupting."
In New York, NBC TV station reported that the news anchor seemed to have suddenly received some message and quickly interrupted the reporter who was broadcasting.
"Now a piece of news: The New York Police Department received the latest warning letter from the Phantom Thief, indicating that a new round of criminal theft activities will begin. In this regard, Police Chief George said that he will do his best to bring the Phantom Thief to justice..."
Kaito Kidd, a new criminal that has appeared in New York City in recent months.
Moreover, unlike other ordinary criminals who are cautious or fearful all day long, the Phantom Thief has become the darling of the major news media in New York with its bold and gorgeous crime style and bizarre theft techniques, and has also become the favorite of the New York Police Department. stain.
Although most of the monster thieves will return the stolen items to their owners after they succeed in committing most crimes.
But it still cannot conceal the fact that the perpetrator is responsible.
At the entrance of the New York Police Department, after accepting a swarm of interviews and reports from the media.
Chief George Stacey returned to the police station with a dark face: "Have you confirmed the content of the notice letter? Is it written by that damn thief?"
Kaito Kidd's unconstrained style of committing crimes, coupled with the crazy media reports, have earned him a large number of fans on the Internet.
As a result, the New York Police Department often receives fake warning letters from some Phantom Thief admirers, which brings a certain degree of influence and hindrance to the police's handling of cases.
"Based on the identification and comparison between the identification department and the previous warning letters left by Kaitou Kidd, it can basically be confirmed that it is the warning letter left by Kaitou Kidd."
"If that's the case, then all of you should move forward and decipher the content of this bold thief's warning letter as soon as possible!"
Preview letters can be regarded as a major feature of Kaitou Kidd. Before he commits a theft, he will send out a notice letter with the name "Phantom Thief Kidd" and a Q-version avatar to inform him. However, the content of the notices is often obscure and extremely difficult to understand. Understanding requires reasoning to arrive at an answer.
It often requires the New York Police Department to spend a lot of time in reasoning. Occasionally, there will be cases where the police department only knows the answer to the notice letter after the phantom thief has completed the theft.
As a result, the New York media naturally aroused criticism and reported on the incompetence of the New York Police Department.
Regarding such a result, Police Chief George, although he felt ashamed of the media who exploited every opportunity, influenced the trend and had no justice at all, but at the same time he gritted his teeth against Kidd, the thief who had embarrassed the entire New York police, and vowed to deal with this. Bring the lawless guy to justice and let him confess his crimes in prison.
"Sidis, you will be responsible for the arrest this time."
"But Director, I still have homicide cases in the third district that I need..."
After hearing the arrangement, a black woman with dreadlocks spoke, as if she wanted to say something else.
"Put the investigation of the murder case aside for now," Chief George interrupted his subordinates and said decisively: "Now, your first priority is to catch this damn thief! I've had enough of this. The day will come when I have to be a clown in front of the media every time!"
"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."
Police Chief George returned to his office angrily with a dark face, while policewoman Sidis had a helpless expression on her face. She had just gotten some clues about the murder case in District 3 and was sure it might be related to a supernatural event.
"Hey, Sidis, you're so brave.
How dare you talk to the director like this. "The policeman who was close to her joked.
"I'm just stating the facts," Sidis shrugged. "What's more, the whole of New York knows that Kidd is not so easily captured." As a member of the New York Police Department , Sidis naturally does not want to see criminals like Kaitou Kidd go unpunished, but she has to admit that it is still difficult to catch the Kaitou with the current capabilities of the New York Police Department.
"Be careful, Sidis, don't let the chief hear what you said." A colleague couldn't help but remind him after taking a sneak peek at the police chief's office.
"Of course, Reem, I'm not stupid."
…
New York, the top floor of an iconic building in Manhattan.
A huge figure sat there, looking down at the notice letter in his hand.
The long silence did not bring peace, but instead seemed like a deeper darkness enveloped everyone in the office.
"Have I been dormant in the dark for too long, causing people to forget the meaning of the name Kingpin?"
After a while, a deep voice came from the huge figure.
"No, your name has always been circulating in the darkness, and everyone has surrendered under your shadow." The man in black tights said.
"Then why would someone like Kaitou Kidd issue a warning letter to me?" Although in the eyes of the media and the police, the Kaitou is a lawless criminal, but as the king of the criminal empire, he controls nearly 40% of the entire New York City. Jin Bin, who engages in criminal activities, obviously does not take it seriously.
Kingpin stood up, and his huge body was like a huge shadow cast down. The huge body that was far larger than an ordinary person and the clear muscle lines under the white suit made him appear dark and destructive.
He released his broad palm and revealed the contents of the notice letter.
Preview letter: With thoughts of the deceased, on a quiet night, the king dormant in the shadows, I will take away the staff of power.
- Kaitou Kidd.
"This is just an insignificant little guy."
"No, Lester." Kingpin spoke, speaking slowly and unhurriedly in a deep voice: "Even the most insignificant guy, as long as he dares to show his claws to us, he should be destroyed and let them know clearly. What can and cannot be done. The world needs order, and the Kingpin is order.”
Reaching out and picking up the crutches, Jin Bin stepped to the edge of the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him and stood there, lowering his head and silently looking down at everything.
He enjoyed this feeling, as if the whole of New York was under his control.
The premise is that there are no nosy vigilantes.
With a haze flashing in his eyes, Kingpin stroked his crutch and spoke slowly but wildly in his deep voice.
"Only death can wash away the offenses committed by the ignorant against the king."
