Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 9 Vicki Weir (Please collect! Please read!)

"Okay, no kidding."

Dean waved his hand and said casually, "I understand how you feel, Dick."

"You are from the Wayne family. God knows how many valuable treasures in this city belong to your family. They may be stolen by the Kaitou Kidd one day, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable when others discuss the Kaito. .”

"What? I don't think so!"

Dick was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously retorted.

"I just don't think a criminal should be welcomed by people."

He stared at Dean solemnly, with a serious attitude.

"Dean, what do you think? Do you like Kaitou Kid like everyone else?"

"What I want to say is that you are right! I agree with you. A criminal is always a criminal. Kaito Kidd will be caught sooner or later if he is so arrogant. Then everyone will see his true colors."

Under Dick's gaze, Dean shook his head heavily and said.

"That's right, I... GCPD, Batman and Robin will not let Kaito Kidd go unpunished!"

With Dean's approval, Dick's face suddenly beamed with joy.

"But at first I thought you would like Kaitou Kidd's school. After all, that guy's dress and technique are very similar to a magician."

Dick shrugged, and casually mentioned: "You are also a magician, so you should have a feeling of closeness to him, although I don't know much about the circle of magicians."

"Who said that being a magician will give you a sense of intimacy?"

Dean raised his brows and stared, his face full of disdain.

"Haven't you ever heard the phrase 'A peer is an enemy'? And those two tricks can also be called a magician? Didn't he just use a dummy smoke bomb or something, these are just the most basic introductory techniques in magic Forget it, if I were Phantom Thief Kidd, I would definitely be able to do better than him."

After listening to Dean's brazen speech, Dick fell silent for a while.

But from a certain point of view, Dean's words are really convincing. One side is a talented magician who became famous at a young age, and the other side is a mysterious thief who just appeared on the stage.

The latter's current intelligence is very limited, and the ability shown is too little, while the strength of the former has been tested in the Gotham Grand Theater, and it does have the capital of arrogance.

"Well, you're awesome."

It took a long time for Dick to spit out such a sentence.

Jingle Bell--

At this time, the bell for class rang, and a very clever middle-aged teacher walked into the classroom.

Dean turned back and sat down in a timely manner, entering the state of learning.

At least on the surface.

"Did I be too exaggerated just now? Did Dick make me nervous when he mentioned being a magician?"

With his back to Dick, Dean mused in his mind.

"Don't think too much! Keep a poker face, Dick has no reason to doubt me, so what if I'm a magician? There are so many magicians in the world, it's impossible for this suspicion to fall on me."

With a certain mind, Dean temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind. He doesn't need to get rid of himself now, just keep normal.

Later, Dick was also having a brainstorming session.

"I think I'm crazy, Kaitou Kidd can't be Dean! It's all because Ah Fu inadvertently said something that my classmate seems to be a magician last night, which made me have such a totally unreasonable and absurd speculation."

"It must have been too slack some time ago, which caused my failure to catch the strange thief Kidd yesterday, which made me a little nervous."

So, after simple self-psychological counseling, both of them thought that they were thinking too much about their appointment.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

As the school bell rang, the teacher on the podium closed the book as quickly as possible, and walked out of the classroom after saying that get out of class was over, with smooth movements and no messy words.

It is impossible to procrastinate, not even in this life.

Dean tidied up his desk casually and was about to leave the school when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Hey! Suston, Grayson, want to play together?"

Turning his head, he saw a middle-parted boy wearing a black top and gray suspenders, holding a basketball around his waist, waving at Dean and Dick, and there were three or five other boys beside him.

"Not today, Ai Kun, I still have very important activities tonight."

Dick was the first to decline the invitation, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.

Because just after saying this, he jumped out of the window and ran straight to the school gate.

Of course, the classroom is on the first floor, so there is no possibility of falling.

Seeing the loss of a playing partner, Ai Kun looked at Dean expectantly.

"Oh! I'm going back to practicing magic now. You know, I have to prepare for the school dance performance next month, so I can't play with you."

Dean spread his hands and said helplessly.

"That's a real pity."

Ai Kun looked a little disappointed, but he couldn't force others to join him, so he went to the stadium with a few boys around him.

Dean didn't take this incident seriously, he returned home as fast as he could, and there was one very important thing to do at night.

That is to send away the "angel's tears of blood" ruby.

Dean changed into a set of ordinary casual clothes, put on a peaked cap, and left the house with a few masks for spare.

At night, on the 29th floor of the Gotham Gazette Building, the office of star female reporter Vicki Weir.

Vicky stopped the press release she had been writing for a long time, stretched her waist, checked it several times and confirmed that there were no major problems, and then showed a satisfied smile.

I have to say that these two days were one of her most beautiful days.

Because of Kaitou Kidd's front-page news, the sales of the Gotham Gazette skyrocketed, and as a reporter, Vicky's reputation also increased a lot.

This matter started a few days ago. At that time, the case of Kaito Kidd had not yet happened. In order to maximize his exposure, Dean sent notice letters to all major media organizations in Gotham.

But at that time, no one had heard of the name at all, and the content of the notice letter was written in a cloud, so naturally, few people took the notice letter seriously.

However, Vicki Weir is one of the alternatives.

She has personally interviewed many super criminals in Arkham Asylum, such as Double-Faced Man, Penguin Man, Riddler Man, Scarecrow, etc. When she first saw Kidd’s notice letter, she felt that it was very similar to what Riddler Man would write. that kind of thing.

Of course, the Riddler Edward Nygma was still imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum at this time, and it was impossible for him to write the notice letter.

This is also the view of the vast majority of people. Everyone thinks that this notice letter is a prank.

Only Vicki Weir didn't think so, and although she wasn't too sure, she thought it was worth the gamble.

Luckily she bet right, not only was she one of the few journalists who went to the museum, but she also got the best angle for a close-up of Kaito Kidd.

This makes Kidd's theft of Angel's blood and tears almost an exclusive report by Vicki.
