Chapter 235 Scapegoat

In the monitoring room, Maggieson cut off the communication and smiled playfully at the monitoring screen.

Around him, dozens of policemen were lying on the ground with their arms and legs spread out, snoring from time to time.

After Maggieson bumped into Jesso just now, he went straight to the monitoring room.

No one noticed his movements.

The reason was simple. The monitoring room was located just opposite to the Pink Lion diamond vault.

Everyone knew that Kaito Kidd would not give up once he had set his sights on a target, so it would not be wrong to guard the various passages in the vault.

Other places were naturally neglected.

Although Maggieson did not expect George to conduct a surprise inspection, it did not affect his plan at all.

Because he had no intention of stealing the Pink Lion diamond.

It was not that he wanted to give up his goal.

It was because...

The Pink Lion diamond here was fake!

Viper suggested that Kaito Kidd had already infiltrated the police not long ago, which meant that Maggieson's identity had not been suspected before that.

Maggieson can investigate at will under the identity of a police officer.

Then he discovered something very interesting.

Except for the unknown Pink Lion diamond in the vault, all the collections in this museum are fakes without exception!

Maggieson will collect intelligence in advance before finalizing the target, so he knows the basic information of this museum.

Although there are no particularly precious collections, most of them are genuine unearthed cultural relics.

Each collection has a source, and it is not difficult to check.

Then the truth is very simple.

There is a ghost in the museum!

Maggieson is 100% sure.

And this ghost is most likely the strange curator.

He relied on his special identity to sell the collections in the museum to the black market or smugglers.

Because these collections themselves are not of high value, they have not attracted attention.

Until now, this museum has been basically emptied by the curator.

With such a large number, the amount of smuggling is only high, and it has offended so many original owners of the collections.

The curator is quite capable to be alive today.

The museum's cultural relic smuggling case has nothing to do with McGinley, and he is not interested in it.

There is just one thing that makes him care.

The curator dares to sell so many cultural relics, and the priceless Pink Lion diamond... can it really be stored intact in the vault?

Even if McGinley has not gone in to see it, he can judge that the diamond inside is not real.

Maybe the Pink Lion was still here a few days ago, but when the curator saw his notice letter, it may not be certain.

Usually, people will judge others by themselves, so whether Kaito Kid will return the stolen items or not, the curator will not believe it, just because he will definitely use the diamond to exchange for benefits.

It is true that Kaito Kid will not give up the action, but Kaito Kid will definitely not steal a fake diamond.

In fact, when McGinley guessed this, he could have left a note and left quietly.

The reason why he did not do so is because there are other things that interest him.

That was the information he had heard from Chen Long before.

Maggieson knew that there was a temple of Kamar-Taj in New York, so it was not unimaginable to occasionally run into one or two mages here.

But Chen Long was obviously not a disciple from the Holy of Holies, and he was not even a mage.

Maggieson did not detect any fluctuations in magic power on him, so it could be said that Chen Long was just an ordinary person.

Although the physical fitness of this ordinary person was a bit too good.

However, even such an ordinary person said "talisman", "magic power", "cannot let it fall into the hands of the dark forces", which were obviously words from the mysterious side world.

It is impossible to say that Maggieson is not curious at all.

Well, he actually just wants to see what the legendary talisman is, and see if it is worth stealing.

The value of magic items is naturally not comparable to an ordinary diamond.

It can just make up for the loss of Maggieson's Pink Lion Diamond being stolen and sold by the curator.

That's right, in Maggieson's eyes, the Pink Lion Diamond is already his thing.

"Okay, then now, please come and cause a commotion on my behalf."

Maggieson looked at Viper, who was still observing the surroundings without knowing anything, on the surveillance screen, and said with a smile.

When Chen Long brought Xiaoyu and Viper into the museum, he carefully observed them.

Xiaoyu was just an eleven-year-old girl, there was nothing worth noting.

On the other hand, Viper was very different.

This woman's temperament was not simple, and there was a lot of power hidden in her seemingly weak body.

Her habits were even more intriguing. She shifted her gaze in an extremely subtle way, and cleverly avoided the places with the most plainclothes police while walking.

And the lingering wariness towards all "police officers" in her eyes!

Maggieson was sure that if this woman was not a killer agent, she must be a colleague.

"If I guess correctly, the person who gave George advice should be you... Of course, it doesn't matter if it's not you."

"Anyway, you have been selected. Let me see how much attention you can attract from the police."

At this moment, Viper didn't know that her situation had become very dangerous because of someone's design.

She spent most of her mind observing the surroundings, and she didn't even know that the direction she was heading was the safe.

It seemed that she didn't know the exact location of the safe, but it didn't matter anymore.

"This detective lady has been going around in circles from the beginning to now. Isn't she tired? Being a detective is really hard."

A distance behind Viper, Xiaoyu was still hiding in the crowd, peeping at Viper through the gap between the adults' legs.

"It's been a while since Kaito Kid's disguise was exposed. Why is it still like nothing happened in the museum?"

Gradually, Viper began to notice something was wrong.

"It's already 15:00. Kaito Kid should have shown up anyway. He can't be late."

Viper suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. The current situation was too weird.

Hmm?

Suddenly, Viper caught a glimpse of an astonishing scene from the corner of her eye.

At some point, a large number of plainclothes policemen had gathered near her, and the frequency of patrol teams in the outer passages had also increased a lot.

Could it be that... Kaito Kid had already shown up, and was nearby?

No!

Viper's pupils shrank, and the nerves in her body were tense.

They're coming for me!
