Chapter 1: The Strange Thief's Notice
Teaser: April Fool, under the red moonlight, at the crossroads of the world, I will give a wonderful performance......
—Kidd the Thief.
……
“…… Regarding the multiple vicious deaths that have occurred in the third block of Manhattan's West Midtown in recent days, the police in the district said......"
"Uh, I'm sorry, Kate, interrupt you."
New York, NBC TV, reporting that the news anchor seemed to have suddenly received something and quickly interrupted the reporter who was broadcasting.
"Now for the news: the New York Police Department has received the latest warning letter from the strange thief, which indicates a new round of criminal theft, in response to which Police Chief George said that he will do his best to bring the strange thief to justice......"
Kidd the Strange Thief, a new criminal who has emerged in New York City in recent months.
And, unlike other ordinary criminals who are cautious or panicked, the strange thief has become the darling of the major news media in New York with his bold and gorgeous style of crime, and his strange theft methods have also become a stain on the New York Police Department.
Although, after most of the crimes are successful, the thieves will return the stolen items to the owner.
But it still can't hide the fact that its perpetrators are responsible.
At the entrance of the New York Police Department, after being interviewed by a swarm of media reports.
Commissioner George Stacy returned to the police station with a black face: "Is it confirmed about the contents of the notice letter, whether it was written by the damn thief!" ”
The strange thief Kidd's whimsical style of crime, coupled with the frantic media reports, has made it a group of fans on the Internet.
As a result, the New York Police Department often receives impersonation notice letters from some strange thieves and admirers, which brings a certain degree of influence and hindrance to the police in handling cases.
"According to the identification department and the previous warning letter left by the strange thief, it can basically be determined that it is the warning letter left by the strange thief Kidd."
"In that case, then move me one by one, and decipher the content of this daring thief's warning letter for me as soon as possible!"
Kidd the Thief is a great feature of the teaser letters, as he sends out a notice letter with the name 'Kidd the Thief' and a Q version avatar before each theft, but the content of the teasers is often obscure and extremely difficult to understand, requiring reasoning to arrive at the answer.
It often takes a lot of time for the NYPD to deduce, and occasionally there are cases where the police department only knows the answer to the notice letter after the thief has completed the theft.
As a result, it naturally caused a burst of criticism from the New York media to report on the incompetence of the New York Police Department.
For such a result, although the police chief George is ashamed of these media who are indiscriminate, indiscriminate, and completely injustice-oriented, he also gritted his teeth at Kidd, the strange thief who made the entire New York police department lose face, and vowed to bring this lawless guy to justice and make him confess his crimes in prison.
"Sidis, this time, the arrest is up to you."
"But Chief, I still have homicides in District 3 that I need to ......"
Hearing the arrangement, a black woman with dreadlocks spoke, as if she wanted to say something more.
"I'll put aside the homicide investigation first," Director George interrupted his subordinates and said categorically, "Now, your first task is to catch this damn thief for me!" I'm fed up with this kind of clown that I have to run in front of the media every time! ”
"Okay, you're the boss, you have the final say."
Police Chief George returned to his office angrily with a black face, while Cidis the female policeman had a helpless expression on her face. The homicide investigation in District 3 has just gotten some clues that may be linked to an extraordinary incident.
"Hey, Sidis, you're brave enough to dare to talk to the director like that." The policeman, who was close to her, joked.
"I'm just stating the facts," to this, Sidis shrugged his shoulders: "What's more, the whole of New York knows that the strange thief Kidd is not so easy to be arrested" As a member of the New York Police Department, Sidis naturally does not want to see criminals like the strange thief Kidd go unpunished, but he also has to reluctantly admit that with the current ability of the New York Police Department, it is still difficult to catch the strange thief.
"Be careful, Sidis, you can't let the Director hear this." Sneaking a glance at the police chief's office, my colleague couldn't help but remind.
"Of course, Rem, I'm not stupid."
……
New York, the top floor of an iconic Manhattan building.
A huge figure sat there, looking down at the teaser in his hand.
The long silence did not bring silence, but rather a deeper darkness enveloping the people in the office.
"Did I lie dormant in the dark for so long that people forgot what the name Kim represented?"
Half-loud, a deep voice came from the huge figure.
"No, your name has always been in the darkness, and all are subservient to your shadow." A man in a black leotard spoke.
"Then why, there is a guy like Kidd the Strange Thief, who sent me a warning letter." Although in the eyes of the media and the police, the strange thieves are lawless criminals, as the king of the criminal empire, Kim He, who is in charge of nearly 40% of the criminal activities in New York, obviously does not take it seriously.
Jin He stood up, his huge body like a huge shadow projected down, the huge size of the man who was far beyond ordinary people and the distinct muscle lines under the white suit, making him look dark and destructive.
He released his broad palm, revealing the contents of the teaser letter.
Notice: With the thoughts of the dead, the night is quiet, the king who lurks in the shadows, I will take the staff of power.
—Kidd the Thief.
"It's just an inconsequential little minion."
"No, Lester." Jin He opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Even the most insignificant guys, as long as they dare to show their claws to us, they should be destroyed, so that they can clearly know what they can and can't do." The world needs order, and gold is order. ”
Reaching for his crutches, Kim stepped over to the edge of the huge floor-to-ceiling window behind him and stood still, looking down at it all in silence.
He enjoyed the feeling as if all of New York was under his control.
The premise is that there are no vigilantes who meddle in their own affairs.
With a haze flashing in his eyes, Kim stroked his crutches and said slowly but rampantly in his deep voice.
"Only death can wash away the offense of the ignorant against the king."
