Chapter 3: Happy April Fool's Day

April 1st, April Fool's Day.

While the citizens of New York were still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of pranks, Times Square, where the New York City police officers gathered early to set up a cordon.

"What's going on?"

"Mommy, there are so many cops!"

"Is it an April Fool's joke?"

"It's not like it's a joke."

"We'd better get out of here, and it would be bad if something dangerous happened later."

"Hey, man, you're so cool!"

Ignoring the reactions of the New Yorkers around him, Police Chief George turned to Sidis, a black policewoman on the side, and asked.

"Are you sure it's here?"

This operation was personally led by him, and a sniper was arranged in the distance to stand by to deter, with a very clear purpose, that is, to arrest the strange thief Kidd and wash away the shame of the New York Police Department during this period of time.

"According to the clues given in the notice letter, it is basically certain that the location is in Times Square," the policewoman Sidis, holding the notice letter left by the strange thief, speculated: "April fool should refer to April Fool's Day, and the crossroads of the world obviously refer to Times Square......"

Speculating on the location of the offender's next crime through the notice letter left by the offender made Director George feel a little aggrieved, but as an experienced veteran policeman, he quickly dealt with his emotions and continued to ask: "What about the red moonshine, what does it mean?" ”

Sidis shook her head and replied a little blankly: "I don't know, I've been thinking about the meaning of moonshine too, but there have been no clues." ”

"I'm sorry, boss."

"Don't be sorry Sidis, you've done well enough."

In this regard, Director George did not criticize too harshly, and being able to determine the time and place of Kidd's crime is a very important achievement in itself. As for the rest of the teaser letter, after the thief is caught, the NYPD will have time to figure it out.

"But, Director, wouldn't we be a little too high-profile in case Kidd the Thief sees so many people......"

Sidis's gaze swept over the citizens around Times Square, and he couldn't help but say worriedly.

"There's no need to worry about that. According to our analysis of the costume of the monster thief Kidd, the criminal process and the psychology of the crime, it can basically be confirmed that he is a performative criminal personality, that is to say, the more people come, the more closely the scene is maintained, and the more it can stimulate his desire to commit crimes. ”

Sidis can't quite understand what Director George said about too professional tongue-twisting knowledge, but thinking of the past criminal cases of strange thieves, it can also be seen that the other party does not take the police very seriously, and even many criminal processes, there are obviously police officers present to surround them, and they still carry out their criminal thefts unscrupulously.

"As long as that thief dares to appear in Times Square, it will be the end of his criminal career."

With a lot of resources to lay a wide net, George Stacy appears confident.

However, looking at the director's big battle movements, the black policewoman Sidis became a little uneasy.

And this uneasiness, as time goes on, becomes more and more obvious.

"What's wrong, Sidis, you look a little strange?"

The colleagues who went to the police together noticed the look on Sidis's face and couldn't help but care.

"I'm fine." Shaking her head, Sidis suddenly asked her white colleague who was the size of a standard New York police officer, "Ream, have you ever seen the red moon?" ”

"The red moon?" Ream was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, I asked the people of the Investigation Bureau before, it is said that this is a fairly rare astronomical phenomenon, when a total solar eclipse occurs on the moon, the atmosphere is ....... ”

Sidis spoke up and interrupted Ream's science: "...... The violet, blue, green, and yellow light are all absorbed, leaving only the red light to penetrate. And when the atmosphere refracts red light onto the surface of the moon, the red moon is formed. ”

Sidis shrugged at the surprised look from Rem, "I also asked the people from the Bureau of Investigation. ”

"But, theoretically, there is no need for a red moon in the near future, unless ......"

"Unless what?" Ream blurted out.

Sidis's gaze swept over the bureau chief not far away, as well as the growing crowd of pedestrians and media around Times Square.

"Unless you start fighting, there will be no red moon."

"Rem, what day is it?" Sidde.

"April 1st, April Fool's Day." Rem.

"Happy April Fool's Day, Ream!" Sidde.

Rem reacted, subconsciously took a breath, and looked at Sidex with a shocked expression.

"We've all been tricked by Kidd the Thief!"

With a bitter smile on her face, Sidis looked at the police chief George not far away.

"The most important thing now is how to tell the director about this fact."

"It's a disaster."

Ream could scarcely imagine the look on the face of the Governor knowing the truth.

[Legend from Sidis +5]

[Legend from Rem +1]

[Legend from George Stacy +10]

"It seems that the police in New York have caught my April Fool's Day prank."

In Manhattan, next to a towering building, a black man with nothing to do muttered as he looked at the prompts given by the system.

The black man is naturally played by Li Ran, with the disguise skills from the strange thief Kidd, and such a simple disguise is simply easy for him.

The reason for this outfit is not that Li Ran is idle and bored and has nothing to do.

If the notice letter to the New York police is just an April Fool's Day prank by him to brush up on the existence and legend of Kidd, the monster thief.

Then, the notice letter to Jin He is a real theft notice that will be carried out.

In order to make the whole theft process go smoothly, preliminary investigation and preparation are also essential.

After all, as can be seen from the introduction given on the card, Kidd the Monster Thief is just an ordinary person through and through, and the reason why he has been able to successfully complete so many thefts is mostly due to his excellent magic tricks and disguise methods. Such a method may be able to operate unhindered in the face of ordinary people like the New York police.

However, in the face of Kim and.

Not to mention the exaggerated body size of the other party, which is far beyond ordinary people.

Li Ran also understands that there are not only ordinary people around the other party.

Simply, except for the card of the strange thief Kidd, Li Ran is not completely helpless.

His gaze once again swept over the towering edifice in front of him.

Li Ran retracted his gaze, turned around and walked in a step that matched his black costume, and disappeared around the corner of the street.
