Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 10 Iceberg Restaurant
"The fickle brothers go to the end,

At this time, the twelve trials have been carried out to the second,

When Selene could not see Helios in the distance,
At the call of the waves I will come and take the cat's eyes,

Enter Phantom Thief Kidd! "

Looking at the notice letter, Gordon read it word by word.

"Er... if I'm not mistaken, you're writing poetry?"

Aaron asked with a strange face, what are these readings all about.

"This is Kaitou Kidd's new teaser letter!"

Gordon fell into deep thought. From the content of the last notice letter, it can be seen that this strange thief is a guy who likes to chew on words, but compared to the first letter with obvious meaning, the content of this letter is more unpredictable. through.

This is understandable, after all, the first notice letter is so gaudy, so no one will take him seriously.

"Who is the fickle brother? The Twelve Trials, Selene? The plot in Greek mythology... Does the wave mean the ocean wave?"

For a while, Gordon felt his head was a little big. He thought of a certain criminal in the past, and he also liked to play these puzzle games. Unfortunately, the person who could solve the puzzles every time was gone now, which meant that he You can only solve these problems on your own.

The only thing that can be determined is the last sentence, the cat's eyes refer to the target of Kaitou Kidd - the recently famous golden-green cat's eyes.

"Aaron, call Mr. John Daggett now and ask him if he has received a similar notice!"

Thinking of this level, Gordon immediately shouted at Aaron.

"I don't think it's necessary now."

At this time, another voice broke through, and Blake pushed the door open and walked in, saying in a deep voice, "Mr. Daggett just called the police, claiming that he received a notice letter from Kidd the Phantom Thief!"

Hearing this, Gordon and Aaron looked at each other in blank dismay, silent for a long time.

Walking on Gotham Boulevard, breathing in excessive PM2.5, Maggison showed a heart-warming smile. He had been thinking about this notice letter all day. Although it was not too difficult to understand, it was the first Thinking of a password once gave me an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

He can't wait to see Gordon's police detectives racking their brains to crack the code, but it is still a bit risky to enter the GCPD, and the notice letter has already been sent to alert the snake. I believe that Gordon is strictly investigating everyone in the police station at this time. Bar.

McKesson sniggered and walked towards a brightly lit place, which is rare in Gotham night.

If there is another family in Gotham City that can rival Wayne in terms of power and financial resources, it is probably only the Copperpot family. Among the four major families in the past, the Elliott family has long been buried in history, and The Kane family has become a part of the Wayne family because of the lack of a male heir and the intermarriage relationship with the Wayne family for many years.

As for the Cobbot family, under the leadership of Oswald Chesterfield Cobbot, they vigorously developed the black industry and formed the largest gang in Gotham, with amazing power and financial resources.

When Copperpot was at its strongest, he could even compete with Fisk in New York. Unfortunately, in the eight years since the implementation of the Dent Act, Copotter's black industry has shrunk many times. Only a part remains hidden behind the glamorous appearance.

But the power of the Penguin still cannot be underestimated. If at least four of every ten criminal activities in the United States are related to Fisk, then at least two of the remaining ones are related to Copperpot.

In today's Gotham, only Coppert dares to blatantly operate underground transactions, and the most typical place is the Iceberg Restaurant.

Maggison pushed open the door of this prestigious restaurant, and immediately two young waitresses in tuxedos came over to greet him.

"Hi sir, do you have an appointment, how many people are there?"

Maggison didn't speak, he went straight to the cabinet next to the restaurant's front desk, took out a black umbrella from under the cabinet and placed it upside down on the front desk.

The waitress didn't know why, so she could only look at each other.

The face of the receptionist at the front desk changed, "You go down to entertain other guests, I will be in charge of this one myself."

"Interesting, it seems that not all the employees of the Bingshan Restaurant are subordinate to the Penguin. At least on the surface, this is indeed a normal restaurant."

The receptionist led Maggison to the box area inside the restaurant. Along the way, Maggison found that both the lobby and the boxes were full of people eating here, and there seemed to be no criminal activities.

But all these are just appearances. The true face of Iceberg Restaurant is actually the largest black market exchange in Gotham, but few people know the real way to enter the exchange, and those who know are not simple people.

After a while, Maggison was ushered into the last box.

"This doesn't seem to be where I want to go."

Maggison asked with playful eyes.

"Sir, before sending you 'there', I need you to wear this first."

The receptionist smiled slightly, took out a blindfold and said, her tone was very polite and polite, not at all like the attitude of a person engaged in the black industry, think about it, if you are not careful in their business, you will offend some big shot , The kind of arrogant watchdog in the movie is actually almost non-existent.

At the same time, two burly men in suits suddenly broke in from the door, standing behind Maggison one on the left and one on the right.

"Your boss is really cautious, should he be called Cobbot?"

"It's a pity that this cautiousness is a bit too much, it seems timid..."

McKesson was unperturbed, and even in the mood to tease.

"Sir, please watch your words." The smile on the receptionist's face gradually faded away.

"The location of the exchange cannot be disclosed. You should not understand this rule."

"That depends on what I want to sell... Wait, it seems to have gone to your place..."

I saw Maggison's left hand suddenly reaching for the receptionist's waist, and quickly withdrew it before she recovered, and suddenly there was a gemstone in his hand.

The moment she saw this thing, the receptionist's face changed drastically, and she stared at Maggison in shock, and said in disbelief: "This is...Adam's Star? You are Kaitou Kidd!"

"I can't imagine that the recently famous Phantom Thief has such a mediocre appearance." The receptionist said in amazement.

"Hehe~"

Hearing a chuckle, Maggison took off his coat casually, and his whole person miraculously changed into another appearance, exactly the appearance of Kaitou Kidd.

The two strong men behind them immediately took the posture of attacking at any time because of Maggison's actions.

"It's really rude not to use the real appearance before, but I didn't expect the Bingshan restaurant to dare to be built in such a conspicuous location on Gotham Avenue. If I used the original appearance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come here."

The white cloak fluttered without wind, the backlight of the monocle flashed past, Magison ignored the threat behind him, and bowed like a gentleman.

　Play a small game, you can try to crack every notice letter in the future, as long as you solve the mystery before the plot is revealed, I will add an update, this game can be played until the end of the book, friendly reminder, those policemen in the book Even Chaoying's reasoning may not be all correct, so don't try to find hints in the book, let me see how many famous detectives there are among you!
