Chapter 1234 1242 [I will never fail]

After taking care of his look, Kidd turned around to adjust the steel wires and lifting wheels fixed to the ground - this would allow him to drop from the sky and reach wherever he wanted to go.

While carefully checking the length of the wire, Kidd suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He turned his head in confusion and looked to the side following his feeling.

Then, he suddenly met a pair of dark golden eyes floating in the night.

"!!" Kidd was startled and stood up suddenly, grabbing the magic gun in his pocket.

After pulling the trigger, he came to his senses and recognized who was watching silently nearby: "Mist Tengu!"

Kiri Tengu usually wears all black, even his wings are black. And although this monster was born in a temple and seems to like wearing loose monk's clothes, he does not have a bald head, but has thick black hair.

In short, it was pitch black from head to toe, with not much reflective space.

Such a look was extremely inconspicuous in the night. Kidd turned his head and saw a pair of bright and dark eyes, and his heart instinctively skipped a beat.

After a thump, there was a little surprise: "Long time no see, are you okay? Why haven't you replied to my messages?"

Kidd had previously gifted Kiri Tengu a cell phone, and whenever he had nothing to do he would send him a message to say hello. He was committed to helping Kiri Tengu move beyond the stage of being a monster that liked dried human flesh, and to helping him happily integrate into modern society and experience the beauty of the Internet.

However, it seems that this measure has little effect, and Kirito seems to have never used that mobile phone.

Jiang Xia drove the Mist Tengu puppet and glanced at Kidd. He always felt that the way of greeting "Are you okay?" sounded like a curse.

But after looking at the extra magic power on Kidd, and thinking about the fact that this thief was about to steal something, and the treasure that Kidd stole would produce an energy core that could strengthen the ghost fetus... Jiang Xia immediately ignored this little weirdness and waved his wings tolerantly: "Don't worry about me, go ahead and do your work."

Kidd: “…”

When he saw the look in Mist Tengu's eyes, he vaguely felt that he understood something.

As far as I can remember, the monster brother's diet is always quite unique - in addition to the legendary cannibalism, Mist Tengu seems to prefer all kinds of precious collections. He is also a very moral monster, he does not eat other people's things randomly, but only steals from the hands of the thieves.

At this moment, Kidd suddenly felt like an exploited hard-working worker.

But then he thought: Brother Tengu wasn't just someone who could exploit him. He would help him out when he occasionally flipped over, and he would dare to step forward to help the powerful and terrifying witch, although that was probably more out of coveting the witch's magic power... In short, after so many times, Kidd still felt that he had established a cross-species friendship, so it wasn't a big problem.

I looked at the watch and found that it was almost time.

Kidd regretfully interrupted the conversation and said, "Then I'm going to get the Angel's Crown first. There may be police ambushing around here. In order to catch me, they might bring fishing nets and helicopters. Be careful when you fly from the sky."

Jiang Xia always felt that compared to Mist Tengu who could disappear and run away at any time, the situation of the phantom thief in front of him seemed to be more dangerous.

He casually reminded: "There are no helicopters around." - If the police really wanted to catch Kidd, they would definitely use their skills in the building.

Kidd understood his hint. The thief raised his hand and pressed the hat on his head, thinking of the trap that the police might set up, and smiled confidently: "I am looking forward to it."

As he spoke, he walked to the side of the building, fastened the buckle on his waist, and finally checked the props he had with him.

Then he threw his cloak and jumped down gracefully.

On the rooftop, the axle was spinning with a rattling sound and soon became taut.

Jiang Xia turned his head to look at it, then walked to the edge and looked down at the thief who was hanging outside the building and opening the window: "..."

Kidd, the king of hustling, does look quite good when he pretends to be cool, and he is worth learning from.

But if he flips over later, I hope he doesn’t look too embarrassed…

Jiang Xia silently took useless notes in his mind.

…

Directly below.

When the cable was stretched to its limit, Kidd was pulled to a stop.

The place where he was hanging at the moment was just outside a hidden house.

Kidd didn't rush into the building, but took out the surveillance video that he had secretly installed. After a moment, he showed a puzzled look.

——There is no one in the picture. It is clearly the time for the preview, but the exhibition hall is silent. The "Angel's Crown" inlaid with gems is quietly placed in the central display case, as if waiting for the thief to visit.

Kidd: “…” The police are so patient?

It does look a bit odd.

But according to his experience, Inspector Nakamori, who was in charge of catching "Kaito Kid", always came up with a plan to catch him. Maybe today, the neighbor uncle guessed some false "Kid's route" and put all the people there.

Hesitation will lead to defeat, no matter what unexpected situation you encounter, you can't stop. Therefore, although he was a little confused, Kidd quickly took out the glass cutter and neatly cut a circle on the window.

He bent down and entered the building, walked forward for a while in the maze-like ventilation ducts, and successfully arrived at the target exhibition hall.

…

After observing for a moment, Kidd loosened his grip on the edge of the ventilation duct and fell silently in front of the display case like a piece of white paper.

Then he began to pick the lock skillfully.

At the same time, outside the exhibition hall window.

In the pitch-black night, a dark figure quietly appeared.

——While the police were not deployed outside the building today, Jiang Xia drove the puppet of Mist Tengu and also silently descended along the building, and finally hovered outside the exhibition hall window to watch closely.

The huge crown was placed in the center of the exhibition hall. Even without special lighting, the gems on it were particularly beautiful due to the residual light coming in from other places.

Jiang Xia held the ghost in his arms and fed it the magic power that he had just pulled from Kidd, with a bit of anticipation: such a big crown, after becoming "Kid's trophy", should be able to produce a good energy core.

…

Kidd is a professional after all, and he can pick the lock faster than Conan who had trained in Hawaii.

He quickly opened the complicated display case lock, picked up the crown, and smiled with satisfaction.

Before he could even smile, a loud shout came from behind him: "Kid!!"

“?!”

In the middle of the night, in the dead silent exhibition hall, a muffled sound like thunder suddenly came out.

Kidd's hand slipped and the crown fell to the ground with a clatter.

At the same time, a bright beam of light suddenly lit up in the hall - it was a handheld searchlight brought by the police.

Inspector Nakamori indeed has a new trick up his sleeve.

He shouted to the men holding the searchlights: "What are you standing there for? Quick, take a snapshot of his face!"

Just then, Kidd looked over in confusion and was caught in the photo.
