Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 186 The Fourth Van that Disappeared
"The team leader, she..."

A fire of resentment was faintly burning in Maiev's eyes.

McKesson waited for her next words.

"Our whereabouts were exposed when we saw members of the Shadow Warriors storm the Wayne Enterprises headquarters building."

Maiev gritted her teeth, "I don't know how they found us, but we were found, so the team leader and I fled separately, and then we got separated."

"After so many days, I have inquired about the team leader, but I have never found her whereabouts. Maybe she has been..."

"Hannibal was there at the time, so I don't think he has anything to do with it."

Hannibal and Starling are, well, a fantastic couple.

Maybe there really is some unknown telepathy between them.

At least it was certain that Starling's life would not be in danger, and Hannibal would not let someone kill Starling easily.

Maggison didn't think too much, and didn't tell Maiev about the secret connection between Hannibal and Starling, he just wanted to know what happened later.

"During the escape, did you see what the Shadow Warriors did, such as driving a suspicious truck from the underground parking lot of Wayne Enterprises?"

"How do you know... wait!"

Maiev was taken aback at first, and then thought of something instantly.

"Could it be that the cargo carried by that car is a nuclear bomb?!"

She witnessed the whole process of Bane and his gang taking away the nuclear bomb, but they did nothing.

Maggison's eyes lit up, it seemed that Maiev had indeed seen something.

The purpose of Miranda's capture of Wayne Enterprises must be to seize the fusion reactor and the weapons department of Wayne Enterprises.

When they get the fusion reactor, they will definitely transport the reactor to a safe location.

Then let Dr. Pavel transform the reactor into a nuclear bomb with a countdown to detonation.

It is absolutely impossible to complete the transformation in Wayne Enterprises, because Bruce has set up an automated safety system inside the laboratory, which will automatically destroy the reactor as long as it detects that the reactor may be weaponized.

The automatic destruction system cannot be changed even by Bruce himself, so they can only move the reactor to another place.

There seems to be a suspicious point here. If the security system detects that the reactor has been taken away, it should also start the destruction process.

But it doesn't.

Because of the presence of Miranda.

During Bruce's self-defeating years, Miranda was his most trusted object besides Alfred and Gordon, so much so that he had the idea of ​​transferring Wayne Enterprises to Miranda more than once.

Miranda is the only member of Wayne's board of directors who supports him as Bruce embarks on a new energy project researching fusion reactors.

At that time, everyone thought that researching this was thankless, and Stark Industries next door had successfully built a palm-sized Ark reactor.

Even the Iron Man suit has been upgraded for two generations!
And we haven't even started in this area, how does this compare?
But any businessman with a sound mind would not go to study a fusion reactor that he doesn't know if he can succeed. Wouldn't it be nice to have the time to fight for the agency right of Stark Industries' civil energy equipment?
All in all, Miranda became the sole investor in the Wayne New Energy project.

Correspondingly, she also gained a lot of power.

For example, under special circumstances, the fusion reactor can be moved elsewhere...

So where would the reactor be taken by her?
Dr. Pavel's transformation of the fusion reactor does not require too harsh conditions, only sufficient power supply and a computer are enough.

How much is this sufficient power?
In theory, any outdoor generator will suffice…

Gotham is so big, who knows where the reactor was shipped.

The Riddler's puzzles are confusing. Maggison wanted to find the nuclear bomb in the most extreme way, but now Maiev sent it to his door.

It's better to have a little clue than to know nothing.

Even if you only see the direction of departure, it is still a clue.

Maggison looked at Maiev expectantly.

"That day, I did see four trucks coming out of the Wayne Enterprises underground garage, and the team leader and I hadn't been spotted at that time."

Maiev recalled for a moment and said.

Four!

Magison's pupils shrank, why are there four cars?
He instantly recalled that when he met Huan Mo pretending to be "Gordon" before, the first three riddles of the Riddler were obtained by GCPD intercepting three trucks on the streets of Gotham.

But neither Mu Mo nor Blake and the others mentioned the existence of the fourth truck.

McKesson's brain was racing.

According to the GCPD, when Bane confronted the U.S. government at the Knights Dome, it should be certain that the nuclear bomb was in the stadium.

After all, if the Ministry of Defense hadn't detected the fusion reactor at Bain's place, they wouldn't have believed Bain's words no matter what.

At that time, there were only three trucks leaving the Knights Arena.

There is no such thing as a fourth car.

Three possibilities.

One is that the last truck is the one that transported the nuclear bomb, and it is still in the Knights Arena.

Another possibility is that Bane delivered the nuclear bomb through some unknown secret passage.

The last possibility is even more frightening, that is, the fourth truck never went to the Knights Arena from the very beginning, and the nuclear bomb was never displayed by Bane at all!

Bane used unknown technology to allow the Ministry of Defense to detect fusion reactors that had not yet started working.

"Are the four trucks headed in the direction of the Knights Arena?"

Maggison hurriedly asked Maiev.

"I don't know, the four vans were going in different directions, I'm not sure if they were going to the stadium or not."

Unfortunately, Maiev gave the most vague answer.

There is no way to judge the movements of the four trucks by their bearings.

"Charlie, go!"

Maggison thought for a moment, then immediately ran out of the alley and called Charlie at the same time.

Only then did Maiev realize that there was a dog hiding nearby.

"Wait, Kaitou Kidd!"

Seeing that Maggison was about to disappear at the entrance of the alley, Maiev immediately followed.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm a thief. Where do you think the thief will go and what will he do?"

Maggison turned around and gave Maiev a wicked smile.

"flutter!"

I saw the hang glider unfold in front of Maiev's eyes, and the white figure flew into the sky.

"If you want to find Agent Starling, then go to the Audisburg district and maybe find her at Hannibal's,"

"However, I still advise you not to act alone."
