Chapter 133 Obedient, decipher it carefully, be good
Since becoming the deputy director of the Eighth Bureau, Deputy Director Guo has rarely been on missions.
The case was too simple for him to take action personally.
The last auction in Binhai City was because I was bored after staying in the bureau for a long time, so I went out to walk around.
At that time, Deputy Director Guo did not think anyone would dare to come to the auction to cause trouble.
In other words, even if someone comes, nothing will happen.
But the results were unexpected.
Deputy Director Guo did not expect that the opponent's big star card masters were many and strong, so he was caught off guard.
He was not well prepared and could only watch helplessly as the opponent snatched a legendary star card and fled.
So a week later, Deputy Director Guo went to another auction in Xingjing City.
Wearing plain clothes, they ambush secretly.
This time, Deputy Director Guo brought a lot of high-level combat capabilities.
You may not be able to keep the beautiful sheep, but catching a masked man shouldn't be a big problem.
Deputy Director Guo is not sure whether these guys will come.
He just felt that if the other party continued to commit crimes, there was a high probability that he would choose the auction in Xingjing City.
Because the items participating in the auction are relatively valuable, there are many legendary star cards.
Unfortunately I guessed wrong.
The auction in Xingjing City was uneventful, but the Heart of the Ocean at the Guangyue City Jewelry Exhibition was missing.
If the other party simply did not act, Deputy Director Guo would think it was nothing.
Prejudgment, mistakes are normal.
But the fact is that the other party acted, but did not act according to his expectations.
This is very bad.
Deputy Director Guo still doesn’t understand why Big Star Card Master would steal ordinary people’s jewelry?
Now it seems that they are going to attack the museum again.
I really can't figure it out.
But it doesn't matter.
The more confusing it is, the more interesting it is.
"Kaitou gx, right?"
"You successfully aroused my interest."
snort.
Deputy Director Guo rushed to the Chengxi Law Enforcement Branch.
The police sergeant is waiting at the door.
"Where's the notice letter?"
"in office."
The police chief led Deputy Director Guo towards the office.
The warning letters falling in the park have been cleaned up.
Except for those picked up by passers-by, the others were collected by the law enforcement branch.
Put it in the evidence basket, a thick pile.
Deputy Director Guo picked up one and looked at it for a while, and found that it was exactly the same as the photo.
He did not rush to study the contents of the notice letter, but took dozens of pictures brought to him by his subordinates.
"Xiao Lu, see if there is any hidden writing on it."
"yes!"
Xiao Lu responded, carrying the toolbox and walked aside to start working.
The police chief slapped his head, "Why didn't I think there might be hidden text on it?"
He said with some admiration: "As expected of Deputy Director Guo."
Deputy Director Guo smiled, with a smile that was seven parts basic and three parts proud.
If you had thought about it, wouldn't you be the deputy director of the Eighth Bureau?
naughty.
"Deputy Director Guo, we have it!"
In just a few seconds, Xiao Lu had gained something.
He first used the simplest way of revealing himself - immersing himself in water.
Xiao Lu poured the mineral water into a plastic box and put the notice letter in, and ink stains appeared immediately.
The police chief admired Deputy Director Guo even more.
The smile on Deputy Director Guo's face became even stronger.
The two of them walked quickly to Xiao Lu and took a closer look.
As expected, there was an extra line of text in the blank space below the original content of the notice letter.
That's the word...
"Don't worry about these things, just decrypt them properly."
Deputy Director Guo: "..."
Sheriff: "..."
Xiao Lu: "..."
Deputy Director Guo stopped smiling: "Continue, there may be more than just this."
Xiao Lu: "Okay."
Xiao Lu picked up a new notice letter, lit a candle, and started to bake it on the fire.
Another line of small characters slowly appeared.
"Are the hints I gave too difficult for you to guess?"
Deputy Director Guo: "..."
Sheriff: "..."
Xiao Lu: "..."
Deputy Director Guo said with a straight face: "Come again."
Xiao Lu took out a small bottle of iodine from his bag and applied the third notice letter.
"Be obedient and decipher it well, be good (,,w)ノ"(っw｀.)"
Deputy Director Guo: "..."
Sheriff: "..."
Xiao Lu: "..."
Deputy Director Guo's face turned completely dark.
Xiao Lu didn't dare to say a word.
He wanted to ask if he wanted to continue. He had more than ten ways to decipher the hidden text.
But I was afraid that if I asked, Deputy Director Guo would beat him to death.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.
Deputy Director Guo took a few deep breaths.
I cursed in my heart: Fuck your grandpa’s legs!
The Riddler gets out of Xinglan City!
Immediately his expression returned to calm.
good.
very good.
Do you really think I can’t understand your broken sentences?
Just wait to be caught!
As long as you dare to come!
Deputy Director Guo picked up a notice letter from the evidence basket and sat down to read it carefully.
He is a mature star card master. Being angry and angry cannot make him lose his ability to think.
On the contrary, it will make his thinking more agile and clear.
In the cases solved in the past, there are many criminals with high IQs, and there are also many people who provoke them in the eighth round.
But what’s the result?
They were all sent to the prison island to eat in prison.
This time will be no exception.
————————————
file a complaint
When the scorpion spreads its wings and tilts the scales
I will come under the moonlight
Take away the vanished starry sky
- Kaitou gx
————————————
"The second sentence should be talking about night. They will appear at night and steal the disappearing starry sky."
"But...what does the disappearing starry sky mean?"
The police chief was also thinking and rubbed his head.
In fact, the paragraphs of this notice letter are easy to understand.
The first sentence represents the date.
The second sentence represents time.
The third sentence represents the goal.
The difficulty is the specific meaning of these words.
Except for the second sentence, which has a relatively clear meaning, the other two sentences are both confusing.
"Let's go to the museum first."
Deputy Director Guo stood up and said.
He doesn't know much about art, but he can always find the target of Phantom Thief GX when he takes a look around.
Just leave.
Deputy Director Guo and the Sheriff quickly arrived at the museum with several guards.
The person in charge of the museum received him personally.
Deputy Director Guo expressed his intention to come.
The person in charge is a middle-aged man. He also saw the notice letter and immediately said: "If it is not a prank, their target is probably "The Starless Sky"."
After saying that, his expression became slightly nervous.
If a layman doesn't understand, he, an expert, won't understand.
As the director of the museum, he has a very deep understanding of most of the artworks in the museum.
"Van Gogh's Starry Night" was renamed "The Starless Sky" because there were no stars.
In the eyes of the person in charge, this notice letter just didn’t name the painting that was going to be stolen. Gu Xuan
Deputy Director Guo and the Sheriff looked at each other and said, "Take us to have a look."
"Okay." The person in charge made a gesture of invitation.
""The Starless Sky" is one of the most valuable artworks in our museum, worth 1.2 billion. It is usually well protected. In order to fit the style and artistic conception of the painting, we specially built a safe display room for it... "The person in charge introduced while leading Deputy Director Guo and others to a room on the third floor.
The door has triple verification, fingerprint and face recognition key card, both of which are indispensable.
No one can open this door without the person in charge present.
There are two security personnel guarding the door of the room, which shows that the museum attaches great importance to this famous painting.
This exclusive safety display room is not large, but has a strong artistic atmosphere.
The walls are covered with starry sky oil paintings, like a mural version of "Van Gogh's Starry Night".
"The Starless Sky" is hung on the wall opposite the door.
The walls on the left and right are not only decorated with murals, but also equipped with many infrared alarms.
There are also cameras in the four corners of the room, providing all-round surveillance without blind spots.
Even with Deputy Director Guo's perspective, he couldn't find anything wrong with this safe house for a while.
"This painting is correct."
The name of the painting is close to the notice letter, and the value of 1.2 billion exceeds the heart of the ocean and legendary star cards.
Choosing it as a target, at least for now, seems to be in line with the style of these guys.
Deputy Director Guo said: "You will open as usual tomorrow, but this room will not be open to the public for the time being. I will send people over to help you strengthen the guard and not leave any chance to the other party."
"Okay." The person in charge nodded and asked, "Does Deputy Director Guo know when they will come?"
It's okay not to open this room for a short period of time, but it can't go on like this forever.
"Within a week." Deputy Director Guo gave an approximate time frame.
Regardless of what is written in the notice letter, he has his own judgment.
He deliberately left his mask behind for two consecutive crimes, and this time he made such a big fuss.
Deputy Director Guo thinks these guys want to be famous.
In the information age, popularity is time-sensitive.
Since you want to be famous, you must take action before the popularity of the notice subsides.
A week is actually a bit conservative. If it were me, I would choose within five days.
Come out of the exhibition room.
The person in charge then sent Deputy Director Guo downstairs.
Deputy Director Guo briefly explained a few precautions to the person in charge and left the museum.
The person in charge was indeed very responsible. As soon as Deputy Director Guo left, he summoned the patrolling security personnel for a small meeting.
Instruct them to report anything unusual or suspicious targets immediately without delay for a second.
After the meeting, the person in charge took another employee to the monitoring room.
He planned to work an extra night shift and have real people watching him 24 hours a day.
The boy in the monitoring room suddenly woke up from his dazed state when he heard the footsteps and the voice of the person in charge.
He quickly pretended to be watching the surveillance camera carefully.
It wasn't until the person in charge came in to give instructions and left the monitoring room that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was so dangerous, I almost got caught sleeping.
He didn't know why he suddenly felt sleepy just now. Maybe it was because he watched the video too late last night?
…
The other end.
Deputy Director Guo and the Sheriff returned to the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Continue to study invitations.
Deputy Director Guo is very confident in his judgment.
The worst thing is to stay in the museum for a few more days until the Phantom Thief GX appears.
But this is obviously a stupid approach.
How could Deputy Director Guo be willing to sit back and wait?
Without understanding this first sentence, Deputy Director Guo felt uncomfortable.
The time comes at night.
Deputy Director Guo, who had been sitting there for several hours staring at the invitation, rubbed his temples, took out his cell phone, and prepared to call his wife first to tell her that he would not go back for the next few days.
As soon as he unlocked his phone, Deputy Director Guo suddenly paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
The wallpaper on his home screen is beautiful.
It's a photo of an old handsome guy and a beautiful girl.
That's right, it's him and his wife.
But that's not the point. The point is the background of the photo.
This photo was taken outside the Star Palace.
It is very dangerous inside the star palaces, but I have to admit that from the outside, each star palace is magnificent and very suitable for taking pictures.
The star sign behind them is Libra.
"When the scorpion spreads its wings and tilts the scales...this scale refers to the star palace?"
"Or the constellation?"
"If it's a constellation, and a scorpion puts on wings and becomes a flying scorpion, does it represent Scorpio?"
Deputy Director Guo's pupils shrank slightly.
He got it!
Libra's birth dates are September 23rd - October 23rd.
The birth date of Scorpio is October 24-November 22.
When the scorpion puts on its wings and tilts the scales, it means that the scales will disappear and Scorpio will replace them.
It’s October 23rd!
Today is October 20th.
In other words, Kaitou GX will appear in three days!
Before 24:00 on October 23rd!
Why before 24:00?
Because once past 24 o'clock, it's Scorpio time.
This is not a tilted scale, but a sinking scale.
Transparent.
The notice letter has been unlocked.
Let's see where you go this time!
Deputy Director Guo dialed his wife's phone number.
Wife: "Hello?"
Deputy Director Guo sounded excited: "Honey, I won't be back for a few days!"
Wife: “???”
If you don't come back, you won't come back. Why are you so happy?
Is there a problem?
…
Three days later.
Deputy Director Guo came to the museum together with four big star card masters.
He is not the only smart person.
Some netizens on forums and post bars also analyzed the date when Kaitou GX appeared.
Whether it's true or not, let's go see the excitement first and then talk about it.
So, that night, the Cultural Park was overcrowded.
There are crowds of people around the museum.
Those who didn’t know better thought there was a concert going on here.
Deputy Director Guo didn't pay much attention to this. He just set up a cordon to keep the crowd at a safe distance.
The museum door was closed, and he was not afraid of the Phantom Thief GK getting mixed up in the crowd and waiting for an opportunity to break into the museum.
Four great star card masters have been hiding around, sealing off the north, south, east and west.
And then count himself.
Anyone who dares to jump out will be rounded up by five big star card masters.
This time they were prepared, even if the masked man came, they would be unable to fly.
The melon-eating crowd was talking a lot.
"It's almost ten o'clock. Is Kaitou GX coming yet?"
"Maybe he was originally going to come, but seeing so many of us there, he didn't dare to come."
"Pull him down, I heard that Kaitou GX is on A-level wanted list. Just a bunch of rookies like us, someone can blow us away with just a breath."
"Good guy, is there a big star card master?"
"if not?"
"Then you still dare to come see the fun?"
"I'm tired of living."
"..."
Young people in this era have great courage which is reflected in all aspects.
Whether you are going to the Star Palace to fight bosses, live PK, or just watching the excitement, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Deputy Director Guo had no time to pay attention to them.
He stood under an inconspicuous tree, silently staring at the third floor of the museum.
It's as if you can see the safe house through the wall.
Time passed minute by minute.
The night is getting darker.
23:30
The crowd suddenly let out an exclamation of surprise.
"Here he comes! He's coming!"
"Damn it, when did you come here? Why is there no sound at all?"
"Gan, why do I feel that he is handsome for no reason?"
Deputy Director Guo looked over sharply.
I saw a dark figure standing on the rockery of the pond not far away.
The bright white full moon casts soft light in the sky, making the white mask worn by the figure shine brightly.
