Chapter 3 - Happy April Fools' Day

April 1st, April Fool’s Day.

While the New Yorkers were still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere of mischief, Times Square, the New York City police gathered here early to raise their guard.

“what happened?”

“Mummy, there are so many police officers!”

“Is it an April Fool’s joke?”

“Looking at what this real gun looks like, it’s not as simple as a joke.”

“We’d better leave here. It would be bad if we waited for something dangerous to happen.”

“Hey, man, you guys are so cool!”

Ignoring the reactions of the surrounding New York citizens, Police Chief George turned to the black female policewoman Sidis and asked.

“Are you sure it’s here?”

He personally led the operation in this operation, and a sniper was arranged in the distance to stand by for shock and deterrence. The purpose was very clear, that is, to arrest the thief Kidd and bring him to justice, to wash away the shame of the New York Police Department during this period of time.

“According to the clues given in the notice, we can basically determine that the location is Times Square,” policewoman Sidis held the notice left by the thief and speculated: “The April Fool refers to It’s April Fool’s Day, and the crossroads of the world is clearly Times Square…”

Using the notice left by the criminal to speculate on where the criminal will commit the crime next, this kind of feeling somewhat makes the director George feel a little embarrassed, but as an experienced police officer, he still quickly dealt with himself. He continued to ask: “What about the red moonlight, what does it mean?”

Sidis shook her head and replied blankly: “I don’t know, I’ve been thinking about the meaning of moonlight, but I haven’t had any clues.”

“Sorry, boos.”

“You don’t need to be sorry Sidis, you’ve done enough.”

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

“However, Director, wouldn’t it be a little too high-profile for us to do this, in case Kaito Kidd sees so many people…”

Sidis glanced at the citizens around Times Square and said worriedly.

“There is no need to worry about this. According to our analysis of the phantom thief Kidd’s clothing, criminal process and criminal psychology, we can basically confirm that he is a performative criminal personality, that is to say, the more people come, the more the on-site maintenance The tighter it is, the more it will stimulate his criminal desire.”

Sidis didn’t quite understand the knowledge that the director George said was too professional, but thinking of the past criminal cases of the phantom thief, it can be seen that the other party did not take the police seriously, even In many criminal processes, the police are clearly guarding the scene, and they are still rampant to carry out their criminal thefts.

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

Using a lot of resources to build a net, George Stacy seems confident.

However, watching the chief’s big battle, the black female policewoman Sidis became a little uneasy.

And this unease became more and more obvious as time went on.

“What’s the matter, Sidis, you look a little strange?”

The colleague who went out with the police noticed the look on Sidis’ face and couldn’t help but care.

“I’m fine.” Shaking her head, Sidis suddenly asked the white colleague with a standard New York police physique beside her, “Rim, have you seen the red moon?”

“Red moon?” Rem was stunned for a moment, and then said: “No, I asked the people at the Bureau of Investigation before, it is said that this is a rather rare astronomical phenomenon. When a total solar eclipse occurs on the moon, the atmosphere… “

Sidis spoke up and interrupted Rim’s science: “…the purple, blue, green, and yellow light are absorbed, leaving only the red light that can penetrate. And when the atmosphere refracts the red light to the surface of the moon When it came up, a red moon was formed.”

Sidis shrugged at the surprised look from Rem: “I also asked the people in the Bureau of Investigation.”

“However, theoretically speaking, there is no need for the conditions to produce a red moon recently, unless…”

“Unless what?” Rem blurted out.

Sidis’s gaze swept across the director not far away, as well as more and more pedestrians and media gathered around Times Square.

“Unless from the beginning, there will be no red moon.”

“Rim, what day is today.” Sidis.

“April 1st, April Fool’s Day.” Rem.

“Rim, Happy April Fool’s Day!” Sidis.

Rem reacted, subconsciously took a breath, and looked at Sidis in shock.

“We were all tricked by Kaitou Kidd!”

With a bitter smile on her face, Sidis looked at Police Chief George not far away.

“The most important thing now is how to tell this fact to the director.”

“It was a disaster.”

Rem can hardly imagine the expression on the head of the authorities knowing the truth.

“It seems that the police in New York have discovered my April Fool’s Day prank.”

Manhattan, next to a towering building, a black man who had nothing to do looked at the prompt given by the system and couldn’t help muttering to himself.

Naturally, the black man was dressed by Li Ran, and he had the cross-dressing skills from the phantom thief Kidd. A simple disguise like this was a breeze for him.

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

If it is said that the notice to the New York police is just an April Fool’s Day prank to reduce the existence and fame of the thief Kidd.

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

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

After all, from the introduction given on the card, it can be seen that Kaitou Kidd is just an ordinary person through and through. The reason why he can successfully complete so many thefts is mostly due to his excellent magic and disguise methods. Such a method may be able to go unimpeded when facing ordinary people like the New York police.

However, facing Jin Bing.

Not to mention the exaggerated body shape of the other party that is far beyond ordinary people.

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

Simply, apart from the card of Kaitou Kidd, Li Ran is not completely helpless.

His eyes once again swept across the towering building in front of him.

Li Ran retracted his gaze, turned around and walked at a pace that matched his black dress, and swayed and disappeared at the corner of the street.
