Chapter 227 How Can We Do without an Audience?

"On the night of Frigga's Day, as the clock strikes midnight, I will lead the pink lion away.

Kid the thief respectfully"

In the curator's office, Chen Long looked at the Kidd notice in his hand with a shocked face.

Even an archaeologist who has been traveling around the world for many years cannot have not heard of the name of Kidd the thief.

Especially when the archaeologist happened to have a special sheriff friend, Chen Long still had some understanding of Kidd the thief.

Chen Long did not have any special impression of this thief with strange behavior.

After all, he was not the kind of "scholar" who only liked to dig for gold and silver treasures. Historical relics were what fascinated him the most.

What's more, Kidd almost always returned the treasures he got, and he saved Gotham not long ago. He didn't look like a bad guy at all.

So Chen Long was not worried that the thief would target those precious relics.

Chen Long, who thought he would never have a chance to meet this legendary thief in his life, never thought that reality would be so coincidental.

"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, Kaito Kidd obviously wants to steal the Pink Lion Diamond. This is our treasure. We must not let Kidd steal it!"

The curator looked at Chen Long with hope.

"Mr. Curator, I am just an archaeologist, not a secret agent. You should immediately seek help from the police. I can help you contact Sheriff Blake."

Although he didn't know why the curator would ask a mere archaeologist like him for help, Chen Long was used to helping others.

At the same time, he also had secret considerations.

"Dad just recently discovered that the snake charm was in this museum, and Kidd's notice was sent here. Is it a coincidence..."

"The reports about Kidd mentioned that Kaito Kidd always likes precious gems, and there are few people in the world who know the existence of charms. He should not come for the charms."

Chen Long breathed a sigh of relief.

The current Kaito Kidd is not the same as when Maggieson just debuted. He can even steal nuclear bombs. What else can't he steal?

The name of Kaito Kidd has brought great pressure to gem collectors all over the world, fearing that they will see Kidd's notice letter when they wake up one day.

What if Kidd is not targeting diamonds but talismans, it will be really difficult to deal with.

"No, you can't notify the police!"

Who knew that when Chen Long said that he wanted to notify Sheriff Black, the curator hurriedly stopped him.

"It is impossible for those policemen alone to stop Kaito Kidd. It is said that Kaito Kidd is proficient in disguise technology. More policemen are helping Kidd!"

"So far, the police have never defeated Kidd once, which is the best proof."

The curator's reaction made Chen Long a little confused. He didn't expect the curator to distrust the police so much.

In fact, the curator did not trust the police, but this was not the reason why he was unwilling to call the police.

"The case of Kaito Kidd will definitely require the New York Police Department to deal with it with all its strength. The museum will probably be strictly investigated. Then my theft of treasures will be exposed..."

The curator thought to himself.

"There are too many museums in New York, such as the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art... Compared with these large museums with rich collections, this small museum I run has too little to show."

"Without the world-famous treasure exhibition, the museum can only attract very limited tourists, and its revenue is even more limited. Sooner or later, it will be forced to close."

If it weren't for the Pink Lion Diamond, a rare large pink diamond, as the treasure of the museum, this museum would have been closed long ago.

With the changes of the times, fewer and fewer people are willing to visit museums now. In order to maintain their popularity, many museums don't even charge admission.

That's why the curator was so polite to Chen Long. After all, there are too few people willing to donate cultural relics to his museum.

Even so, the operation of the museum has been getting worse and worse in recent years.

Not only here, it is said that even the large-scale Natural History Museum will usher in a major change because of something unknown.

So the curator's mind became active. He began to try to secretly replace the collections in his own museum, selling the real ones and leaving the fakes in the museum.

The museum is not owned by the curator alone. Most of the collections are in the names of major shareholders behind them, so he doesn't feel bad at all for selling these collections.

But if the shareholders knew about this, they would definitely kill him.

So the curator couldn't let Chen Long call the police. If the police found any clues of black transactions, he would not be able to die even if he had ten lives.

He even didn't want to make the news of the notice public. As for Kidd, he might also send a notice letter directly to the police, so he could only bite the bullet and refuse the police's assistance.

Of course, he couldn't tell Chen Long these words, so he brought up the banner that the police were incapable of catching the thief Kidd, pretending that I didn't trust the police.

"Uh... Mr. Curator, since you don't even trust the police, why did you call me just now?"

Chen Long scratched his head and laughed dryly.

The curator was stunned and looked at Chen Long strangely.

"Mr. Chen, this is not the time to joke, right? Didn't you come to me today to protect the Pink Lion diamond? Well, I apologize for my rudeness and stupidity just now. Mr. Chen, please help me."

Chen Long is still very famous in the archaeological community. It is said that he is very skilled. The curator doesn't know how good he is, but there is no other way except to ask Chen Long for help.

Moreover, he has known Chen Long for a long time and is not worried that Chen Long will be interested in the diamond.

"Ah? What? No, Mr. Curator, I came to protect the talisman instead of the Pink Lion, and I'm not talking about Kidd, I'm talking about the black hand..."

Chen Long was shocked when he heard this. This misunderstanding is a bit big, and he hurriedly explained.

Unfortunately, the curator seemed to have identified Chen Long and interrupted him directly.

"Mr. Chen, don't say anything, come with me!"

The old curator grabbed Chen Long's wrist and walked towards the door.

Coming out of the office, we walked straight forward along the corridor.

"Turn left from the front, and you will find the room where the Pink Lion diamonds are stored."

The curator was talking to Chen Long as he walked.

What they didn't notice was that a tourist not far behind them was looking at their backs with a playful smile.

"How can we not accept the police's help? A performance without an audience is meaningless..."

"I thought that with my current fame, I could just send a notice letter to cause a sensation and save some trouble. I didn't expect that I would have to go to the police station in the end. It's really troublesome."

"But the curator's attitude is a bit wrong. Even if he doesn't trust the police, there is no need to react so strongly. I hope it won't be a troublesome thing..."
