Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

Chapter 69 A Transaction

Obviously, Kingpin would never agree to let the police assist.

Not to mention assistance, George never met Kingpin at all.

However, at least it is certain that Bob's interpretation is correct. Kingpin did receive the notice letter from Kaito Kid, and he did not seem to take it too seriously.

George is not a person who gives up easily.

Evidence of Kingpin's crime must be continuously pursued, and Kaito Kid must also be arrested.

It is not something that can be done in one or two years to bring down Kingpin, so George had to arrest Kaito Kid first.

He sent a lot of plainclothes police officers to hide near the Wilson Building in Hell's Kitchen, ready to go out at any time.

In the past few days, George carefully studied all of Kid's previous crime records and found a common point, that is, Kid would try every means to attract a large number of civilians to the scene before committing a crime.

With so many people and eyes, Kid could easily disguise himself as any image to get in and out, and it would be difficult for people to find him.

Therefore, George decided to do the opposite.

He first contacted various media in New York and asked them to stop reporting anything about Kaito Kidd. Of course, this relied on the power of some superiors, otherwise a small police chief alone would not have such great power.

Then, if there is any information about Kidd's notice letter on the Internet, destroy its data as soon as possible.

In short, try to prevent civilians from knowing the fact that Kidd will commit a crime in New York.

At the same time, this is also to paralyze Kaito Kidd, making him mistakenly believe that the police are still struggling to think about the notice letter, so they want to keep it secret.

Until the charity gala started, the people George arranged in advance could gather around the Wilson Building in a very short time.

George did not invite Bob to participate in the action. After all, he helped him solve the puzzle, and in terms of job level, Bob is not lower than the New York Police Commissioner, and may even be one level higher.

A day passed in a busy manner.

Night fell.

It was finally time for the New York Library to close.

The library staff naturally got off work.

When all the workers left the library, one person stayed at the end, and it seemed that he had a phone call to answer.

If Bob was here, he would find that this person was exactly the staff member holding the "Key of Solomon".

"Charlie, how is the situation over there?"

"Nothing unusual, you can act with confidence."

Maggieson nodded.

He was worried that Bob and others might not be able to find the key to crack the notice letter, so he took the initiative to run to the library to disguise himself as a staff member and wait for Bob's arrival.

As for how Maggieson knew that George would ask Bob for help, it was not that he could really predict the future, but it was due to the alchemical symbols on the notice letter.

It was actually a spell that could eavesdrop on the voice of the card holder, but it was specially covered by Maggieson with the illusion of alchemical symbols. After all, Muggles cannot see the real magic patterns.

This spell only lasts for three days, so it is not suitable for long-term eavesdropping, and it is frighteningly difficult to depict. Maggieson tried no less than three digits of times before he succeeded once, and the success rate was extremely low.

If it weren't for the fact that using a bug would soon be discovered by Chief George, Maggieson wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to use this spell.

So, Maggieson knew exactly what George asked Bob to do for him, and he also calculated that Bob would come to the library to look for clues, after all, there is no place in New York with more books than here.

Of course, it would be better if Bob already had the Key of Solomon at home, so that he wouldn't come to the library.

But this did not affect Maggieson's lurking in the library.

Because in addition to reminding Bob, he had other things to do.

After calculating the time, Maggieson estimated that it should be about time, so he took off his current human skin mask and replaced it with a new one.

Then, he swaggered towards Hell's Kitchen.

After arriving at Hell's Kitchen, Maggieson saw a lot of hidden plainclothes policemen along the way.

There was no way, it was hard not to pay attention.

In Hell's Kitchen, there are few pedestrians on the street at night. Even if there are, they are basically gangsters and thugs. These "ordinary people" who look very serious at first glance, who else can they be but policemen?

Maggieson's current image is a bad gangster with a baseball bat, with a scar on his face, swaggering around Hell's Kitchen, and no one will doubt his identity.

As he swaggered, Maggieson bypassed all the plainclothes police and arrived at his destination.

However, this is not the Wilson Building, and it is even quite far away from there.

Maggieson is now in a dark and hidden alley.

Hmm...

God knows why they chose to meet in such an environment. Is Daredevil really a hero?

No, it should not be a question of heroes. Is this guy mentally ill?

He is a blind man with super senses. No matter how dark the place is, it has no effect on him, but it is completely different for others.

Even though McGison can see in the dark, it does not mean that he likes to stay in such a place.

"You are two minutes and thirty-seven seconds late."

Daredevil's voice suddenly came from behind McGison, but McGison was not surprised because he had already noticed it.

"Ha, I thought you would be accurate to two decimal places in seconds."

Hearing the opening remarks of Lawyer Ma, McGison could not help but complain, but unfortunately only he knew what this complaint meant.

"Did you bring the things?"

McGison did not want to chat with Daredevil, so he said directly.

"Finnel Augustus is a middle- and high-level leader among Kingpin's subordinates. His status is not low. According to the information I have, there are few people with higher status than Bullseye. If it weren't for you, I didn't want to touch this big fish first."

Daredevil didn't hesitate and took out a sealed bag and handed it to Maggieson. There was an invitation to Wilson's charity party, a photo and some other things in it.

"Finnel is not in Hell's Kitchen at this time. He will only return when the party starts. He usually doesn't have bodyguards around him, so I can easily get it. You pretending to be him is the best choice."

Since Maggieson first came to Hell's Kitchen to scout the area and met Daredevil, the two have been working together to take advantage of each other.

Daredevil provided him with all the information about Hell's Kitchen and the ticket to enter Wilson's building, and by the way attracted Kingpin's firepower before Maggieson took action.

The price was that Maggieson had to use Finnel's identity to sneak into Wilson's building and try to investigate the hidden information inside.

As for how much hidden information there is and how to do it, it depends on Maggieson's improvisation...

After all, Daredevil doesn't have the disguise of Kaito Kidd, so he can't enter the Wilson Building.

"You actually peeled off his fingerprints. You are really cruel."

Maggieson found that there was someone else's fingerprint inside, and the skin on his finger was directly peeled off by Daredevil.

He thought very carefully. With fingerprints, he can enter more places. Maggieson has sneaked into the building. Many laboratories inside require fingerprints to open, and a few require irises.

"Don't expect me to find any information. If there is danger, I will choose to escape without hesitation."

Maggieson said seriously. Even if Daredevil helped him, he would not pay with his life.

"Of course."

Daredevil is very open-minded. He knows how difficult it is. In fact, it is beyond his expectation that Kaito Kidd can agree. Even if he gets nothing in the end, he won't mind.

After the handover, the two disappeared into the darkness one after another.

Soon, the time came to August 8th...
