Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 15 On the Self-Cultivation of a Phantom Thief

Lower City Island is the southernmost area of ​​Gotham City, and it is also the largest island compared with Upper City Island and Midtown Island. The outside is the Atlantic Ocean.

Daggett's private collection is built on the south shore of Lower City Island, close to the ocean, luxurious and exquisite.

Have you heard of sea view rooms or villas? Have you heard of sea view collections?
God knows why Daggett put his collection by the sea. Isn't he afraid that it will get wet?

Obviously, this kind of behavior is probably learned from the super rich in New York, otherwise it would be hard to believe that there are such fools with money and no place to spend them in the world.

In fact, even Gotham's most ridiculous Master Wayne couldn't do it.

Taking the collection hall as the origin, Daggett's private beach is radiating five kilometers outward, which means that there cannot be a large number of people here, and all audiences who hear the news can only stay far away of.

More importantly, it was difficult for Maggison to sneak into the venue by disguised as a public, and the degree of difficulty of stealing was much higher than last time.

Therefore, how to sneak into Daggett's collection became the first problem.

At noon, Maggison changed into the image of DiCaprio when he bought the villa, took a taxi and came to the downtown area.

Under the scorching sun, he observed every street in the lower city.

How to become a qualified thief?

Brilliant camouflage skills?Incredibly fast shooting speed?Lockpicking technology that opens in seconds?
neither!
The most important thing for a truly experienced thief is his familiarity with the surrounding environment, which can not only ensure that he can easily get rid of the pursuer after being discovered, but also plan a course of action that is most beneficial to him.

A clever thief has a complete plan from selecting the target to selecting the date to infiltrating and then escaping, and it is done in one go, without any missing link.

Therefore, before taking action, one must be familiar with the environment of the entire area, speculate in advance the possible outflanking routes of the police, and calculate the time of action, so that no mistakes can be made in a single minute.

And all of this needs to be stepped on.

As the Kaitou Kidd, Maggison thinks he has enough self-cultivation, of course, this link is indispensable.

Unlike ordinary thieves, strange thieves never need to think about when the police will come and how to bypass the police cars. Because of the existence of the warning letter, the police have already arranged a net at the target location.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although the notice letter will expose the plan of the monster thief, why not expose the police's defense?

The police, who knew what Maggison wanted to steal, couldn't allocate extra police forces to intercept them at various arteries.

Maggison first bought a tourist map of Xiacheng Island, then rented a car, and started to drive around the city. After about three hours, he finally figured out the main traffic routes here, the dark alleys and alleys. This is impossible to figure out.

"In addition to being adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, Lower City Island also has the Gotham River flowing through here. This river separates Lower City Island and Midtown Island and is also the only route connecting the two big islands... If you follow Gotham Going up Hebei and entering the Merchant River Basin, you can pass through the entire Midtown Island and enter the Audisburg area to return to the stronghold."

While sunbathing on the beach, build a return route in your mind.

Going by land is not feasible, because there is only one bridge that connects Lower City Island and Midtown Island, the police can easily block the bridge, and I heard that Gordon also dispatched three police helicopters to fly back with hang glider Nor is it safe.

"We can only go by water."

After making up his mind, Maggison went to the port, requisitioned a yacht in the name of Jim Gordon, and solemnly warned the owner that the purpose of requisitioning this ship was to carry out a secret operation, which required a whole night time.

Therefore, you can't tell anyone that he commandeered the yacht, and wait until early tomorrow morning before going to GCPD to recover it.

Commissioner Gordon's reputation in the hearts of Gotham citizens is terrifyingly high, second only to the existence of Batman, so when Maggison disguised himself as Gordon, the captain agreed on the spot, without even asking for a police officer's card. glance.

Drive the yacht to hide under the Gotham River Bridge, and the preparations for escape are complete. The next thing to do is to find a way to find out the situation in the collection hall, how the police are arranged, and whether Daggett has installed any high-tech Anti-theft devices and the like.

Without clarifying these, it is difficult to carry out the theft work.

However, this matter needs to wait until dark, after all, it is not suitable for strange thieves to operate in broad daylight.

What's more, Maggison will play very late, and he has a long time to observe the collection.

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon, and it's time to go to the best tourist destination on Xiacheng Island-the public beach!
Lower City Island is the largest business district in Gotham, where Gotham Financial Center, Statue of Justice, William Street, Gotham Broadcasting Corporation and Gotham City Center are all located here, which makes Lower City Island's traffic flow always the highest in Gotham The forefront of the major divisions.

Especially in the afternoon, the entire coast, except for a few private beaches that are chartered, the coastal beaches are almost full of tourists.

McKesson walked on the beach in a pair of beach shorts, exposing his tight muscles. He didn't go into the water because the sea water would erode the mask on his face.

Even in disguise, this perfect figure and handsome appearance still won him the attention of many women.

McKesson relishes the process.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the distance, and immediately thought about it, and the corner of his mouth curled up.

He didn't go forward to look for that figure, but closed his eyes directly.

"I stayed up all night yesterday, now is the time to rest."

Soon, night fell, and the cool evening wind blew, and McGilson just woke up.

At this time, most of the tourists have gone back one after another, and only a small number of people are still on the beach to enjoy the night view.

At the beach, the temperature difference between day and night is obvious, and the beauties who are sweating profusely in bikinis during the day put on coats at night.

As soon as Maggison woke up, he felt a chill, which made his thoughts seem to speed up a lot.

Putting on the black casual clothes that had been prepared, Maggison walked to Daggett's private collection.

After more than 20 minutes, he approached the vicinity of Daggett's private beach. When he got here, the further he walked, the more pedestrians there were.

Most of them are young men and women, and they are blocked from Daggett's private beach because the GCPD has established a long cordon on the beach.

Most of them are fans of Kaitou Kidd, and they came here to support Kidd.

As for how Maggison saw it, of course it came from his confidence in his own charm!

Well, actually, it's because many of the girls are holding up a sign that says "Phantom Thief Kid."

To put it bluntly, there are not many, probably only a few hundred people.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the frenzied GCPD will send plainclothes policemen to mix in the crowd.

Maggison quietly bypassed his "fans" and observed the long cordon.
