Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"What's wrong with that?" Li Qingyan looked at Sun Luo with a puzzled expression.

Sun Luo explained, "At that time, the entire road on the rooftop was blocked by Captain Lin and his men, so Chen Feng naturally couldn't leave through the door. And did you notice a detail? After Chen Feng stood on the rooftop, he never turned around again."

"so what?"

"Based on my understanding of magic, the places that a magician doesn't want you to see are often where the magic trick's flaws lie."

Therefore, we can boldly speculate that the reason Chen Feng did not turn around might be because there was something like a rope behind him, and the gesture of raising his hand when covered by the white doves was to fasten the rope around his waist.

In other words, Chen Feng didn't suddenly disappear. Instead, using the white doves as cover, he descended to the lower levels via a zipline, then disguised himself to avoid surveillance and escaped the hotel.

Chapter 14 Phantom Thief or Detective?

Upon hearing Sun Luo's words, Li Qingyan and the other woman also showed expressions of sudden realization.

But this is not the end.

Sun Luo then switched the camera to today's live stream and quickly fast-forwarded to the scene of Chen Feng pretending to be a repairman "working" at the Ocean Heart counter.

"And here too!"

Sun Luo pointed to the repairman's figure on the screen: "I've been wondering why the advanced alarm system that Luoerqing Kingdom installed on the Ocean Heart display case failed. I thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that there was only one possibility."

That means Chen Feng had already entered the venue before he even made his move, and disguised himself as someone to sabotage the alarm system on the display case. The repairman from the country of Lorqing is the prime suspect! Now, all we need to do is find the repairman and question him briefly, and we can be fairly certain.”

"Good lad!" Lin Chuanxiong patted Sun Luo on the shoulder and laughed, "You're pretty good, kid. I really regret not taking you with me today, otherwise Chen Feng might not have succeeded."

Sun Luo shook his head upon hearing this: "Captain Lin, you overestimate me. I only looked for flaws afterward. If I were on the scene, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stop him."

Hearing Sun Luo say this, Lin Chuanxiong's smile froze, and he still asked with some reluctance, "Is Chen Feng's method really that difficult to deal with?"

Sun Luo gave a wry smile: "I'm afraid so."

All three people present fell silent.

"However, I do know someone who might be worth a try."

These words piqued the interest of both people present: "Who?"

"My fellow disciple, the champion of the China region of the World Detective Competition—Ouyang Muxue!"

System Points: 1800

In a coffee shop, Chen Feng was casually browsing the skills and items sold in the system shop.

Mind Reading (Beginner): Can read a person's inner thoughts; effective range is one meter; price: 800 system points.

Hypnosis (Beginner): Hypnotizes the brain, forcibly altering a person's thoughts. Note: The stronger the willpower, the weaker the hypnotic effect. Price: 1000 System Points

Dream Thief (Beginner): Creates or enters another person's dream and moves freely within it. Price: 1500 System Points

Skill Upgrade Card: Increases skill proficiency; priced at 500 system points.

……

After looking around, Chen Feng finally chose the Dream Thief skill, which cost 1500 system points.

After all, the ability to enter someone else's dream is simply too incredible. If used properly, it can even allow one to uncover all of another's secrets without anyone noticing.

As for mind reading, wouldn't that work too?

Yes, it's possible, but there are too many restrictions. First, the person needs to be within one meter of you. Second, the person needs to be thinking about something at the same time.

Even if the above two conditions are met, what you read may not be what you need.

[Ding! Successfully exchanged for the skill "Dream Thief". Cost 1500 system points. Current system points: 300]

As the system notification sounded, Chen Feng's system points were back to square one.

However, Chen Feng didn't feel bad about it. After all, the system points were useless to him, so it was better to exchange them for more skills.

"Hi, that table is full. Can we share a table?"

A voice came and pulled Chen Feng back to reality.

Chen Feng looked up and saw a tall, beautiful woman standing in front of him, holding a tray with a coffee cup on it.

Upon seeing the person's face, Chen Feng couldn't help but sigh, "What a small world! You can run into someone anywhere."

"Of course, please have a seat, Officer Li," Chen Feng said with a smile.

Li Qingyan was taken aback: "You know me?"

"The famous H City police beauty, the leader of the first group of the Huaxia District 3 pursuit team, how could I not know her? I even watched a live broadcast about you last night."

Upon hearing Chen Feng mention last night's live stream, Li Qingyan blushed.

"What happened last night...it's a bit embarrassing..."

Chen Feng laughed and said, "Officer Li, don't misunderstand. I didn't mean to mock you. That Mr. Chen Feng just used some magic tricks that you're not familiar with. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape."

Hearing Chen Feng take the initiative to defend her, Li Qingyan couldn't help but feel a little favorably disposed towards the man in front of her.

"Thank you." Li Qingyan said, putting down the tray in her hands, but her eyes inadvertently glanced at the phone on the table that was playing Chen Feng's previous live stream video.

"You seem quite interested in him?"

Chen Feng replied, "I wouldn't say I'm interested, but I feel his method is quite novel and I'd like to learn more about it."

"Really?" Li Qingyan nodded, picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and casually asked, "Did you figure it out?"

"It's nothing more than zip-lining, disguise, and the like, nothing to mention."

Chen Feng's casual reply immediately made Li Qingyan, who was still drinking coffee, look up. The conclusion that Sun Luo had spent half the night studying was so easily seen through by the person in front of her.

You should know that their pursuit team not only has the live recordings from the program crew, but also the most comprehensive surveillance footage, which is far superior to the conditions outside!

If we recruit this person into our pursuit team...

Thinking of this, Li Qingyan's eyes lit up.

"I didn't realize you were a detective! And I still don't know your name?"

"Arsène Lupin, an American of Chinese descent."

The reason Chen Feng claims to be an American of Chinese descent is quite simple: it's difficult to verify.

"I don't know what kind of work you do now?" Li Qingyan quickly asked.

Hearing this, Chen Feng roughly guessed what she wanted to do, so he simply went along with her.

"I just returned to China and am currently unemployed, worried about not being able to find a job."

Li Qingyan was even happier now. A detective with professional and reliable skills, who was also unemployed, was a gift from heaven specifically to deal with Chen Feng.

She probably never imagined that the person in front of her was Chen Feng, whom she had been longing to get rid of.

Chapter 15, Second Announcement!

"Mr. Arsen, would you be interested in working for our pursuit department? I can apply for a special consultant position for you. You'll only need to come and help out at specific times, it won't take up too much of your time!"

"This……"

Seeing that Chen Feng was already wavering, Li Qingyan quickly pressed her advantage.

"Don't worry, we won't let you help for nothing. We'll pay you after each operation!"

“Regardless of the success or failure of the operation,” Li Qingyan added.

Hearing Li Qingyan say this, Chen Feng's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed: "Alright then, since Miss Li has so kindly invited me, I won't refuse."

"Alright, I..."

Ring ring—

A phone call interrupted Li Qingyan's words. Li Qingyan smiled apologetically, then took out her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call directly.

"Hey? Cousin, you're in H City? You've been here for several days? Did your aunt and the others come with you? No, you came alone. Where are you now? Okay, I'm coming right now."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qingyan looked back at Chen Feng and said, "Um, I'm sorry, I'm a little busy right now. How about we add each other on WeChat first? You can tell me any other requests you have online."

"it is good."

Chen Feng nodded with a smile.

After adding each other on WeChat, Li Qingyan left in a hurry, unaware of the amused smile on the face of the person behind her.

……

That night.

On the top floor of the exhibition hall, in Amya's bedroom.

Amya, fast asleep, smiled and occasionally let out a soft hum, as if she were having a sweet dream.

In a dream.

After Chen Feng took the Heart of the Ocean, Amyya successfully found Chen Feng's hiding place through various means.

They then quickly deployed personnel and subdued Chen Feng before he could react.

Looking at Chen Feng, who was standing in front of her, bound tightly, Amya's lips unconsciously curled up into a victor's smile.

But at that moment, Chen Feng suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared. Then, countless pieces of paper fell from the sky, along with Chen Feng's infuriating voice.
