Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

"What did you say?"

Dick couldn't believe his ears.

"At the beginning, you insisted on meddling in the matter of Kaito Kidd, and I finally accepted your help. Now you can't say it anymore?"

"I just received a tip a few hours ago. Last night, several strange murders occurred in the neighborhood I was responsible for. The deceased died of excessive blood loss, and there were two holes in the neck that looked like teeth marks. "

Barbara said seriously.

"Sounds like the person in the myths and legends who was sucked dry by a vampire?"

Dick asked with a strange face.

"Almost, there are eyewitnesses claiming to have seen a bat larger than a person, but unfortunately no photos or videos were left, and the authenticity is doubtful."

Barbara nodded and continued.

"A bat bigger than a man? In Gotham? How is that possible! It's more likely that he saw Batman."

Dick sneered.

"In short, I will focus on this case next, and put aside other less important matters for the time being, especially a performance art thief who will not kill anyone."

Barbara waved her hand.

"I hope you catch the murderer soon."

When he said this, Dick's expression became much more serious.

"I also wish you to find out the identity of Kaitou Kidd as soon as possible."

Barbara walked to the edge of the roof, said without looking back, took out the hook gun and shot at the taller building next to her, and her figure disappeared into the night.

Looking at Barbara's back, Dick also quickly entered the state, thinking secretly.

"Tomorrow, without Barbara, the director's daughter, at the scene, it's not convenient for me to use my identity as Dick Grayson to give advice on security work. I'm afraid I can only play by ear..."

At the same time, in a quiet corner of the Orpheus Jewelry Exhibition Hall.

Dean took off the headphones in his ears and smiled meaningfully.

"Catwoman wants to meet me, I'm afraid she wants to get back on the scene, but Kaitou Kidd is not afraid of any challenge!"

Putting the earphones in his pocket, Dean immediately picked up the mop in his hand and started cleaning the floor.

That's right, his disguise today was a cleaner. As for why he pretended to be a cleaner, of course it was to prepare for tomorrow's official action.

"The props produced by the system are really useful. Catwoman only found Dick's two bugs and transmitters, but not mine."

Dean thought to himself while mopping the floor.

When Dick asked him to help put a bug on 'Kelina', Dean had anticipated the possibility of being discovered by the other party.

Once the bug he placed is discovered, Catwoman will throw four objects to Dick and Barbara, and Dick will find that there are transmitters and bugs that do not belong to them.

At that time, it is very likely that it will cause a very unfavorable situation for Dean.

The reason why Dean dared to do this kind of behavior after expecting this is precisely because of the existence of the system mall.

The eavesdropping device he used was a miniature bug exchanged through the system, with a diameter of only 2.5 microns, which is impossible for normal human eyes to see.

Dean knew that Catwoman was not an enhanced person, nor a person with abilities, and there was no possibility of discovering his bug.

And he also knew that Catwoman could only find out that he had hidden things on her body at most, and it was impossible to know how many things he had hidden.

As for why they were still using conventional bugs when bugging Dick... that's nonsense! At that time, how could there be so many exclamation points to exchange for this thing! It's fifty o'clock for just one!

The miniature bug is not all good, the biggest disadvantage is that it cannot be recycled, and the energy can only last for 72 hours. When the energy is about to run out, it will automatically turn on self-destruct, which is equivalent to 50 points and can only be used once.

Self-destruction is not an explosion, but a direct volatilization without sound or any pollution. Of course, manual self-destruction is also possible.

"Hey! The cleaner over there, haven't you eaten? Why don't you have any strength to mop the floor!"

At this moment, curator Offi, who was inspecting various tasks in the exhibition hall, just came to this area, saw Dean mopping the floor at a glance, and asked dissatisfiedly immediately.

Hearing the sound, Dean immediately redoubled his efforts, struggling to drag back and forth on the floor.

"This is what it looks like to work. Let me see your state just now, then don't blame me for deducting your wages!"

Upon seeing this, Director Offee nodded in satisfaction.

"This guy, he was so frightened that he cried bitterly last night, but today he is so arrogant, those who don't know think you are so arrogant."

While dragging the floor, Dean complained in his heart.

"Remember to paint the ceiling later."

After Curator Offi gave an order, he turned around and continued his inspection in another direction.

"Don't worry, Master Curator, I will clean the ceiling properly."

The corners of Dean's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a voice that only he could hear.

——

Time flies, and soon came Easter, April 3rd.

The real day when Phantom Thief Kidd is about to steal the Hope Blue Diamond.

Today is not April Fool's Day, and there is no tradition of deceiving people for fun, but a relatively serious festival.

If Phantom Thief Kidd doesn't do anything today, it will be a complete violation of his own prediction, and the image he painstakingly created in the past will completely collapse.

On this day, the business of the exhibition hall was also exceptionally good, better than ever before.

Not even more visitors came on April Fool's Day than today.

After all, Kaito Kidd’s announcement on April Fool’s Day is almost closing at 8 pm. Visitors who just want to see Kaito Kidd but are not interested in the exhibition will naturally not come to the exhibition hall in broad daylight.

The situation is slightly different today. Kaito Kidd only said that the operation will start on Easter, but did not say when it will be, so many fans will come to wait for Kaito Kidd to appear throughout the day.

Not only that, but there were also many black fans who wanted to see Kaito Kidd breaching the contract and who kept badmouthing Kidd also rushed to the exhibition hall early in the morning.

The two phases were superimposed, and the exhibition hall was almost overcrowded, which put tremendous pressure on Gordon and other GCPD police to maintain order.

"Wow, there are so many people here."

Dean also came to the scene today at the invitation of Dick, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw the spectacular scene of crowds and crowds in front of him.

"There shouldn't be as many audiences as you did when you performed magic tricks at the Gotham Grand Theater. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Beside Dean, Dick shrugged.

"That's different. The venue of the Gotham Grand Theater is very large, so no matter how many audiences there are, the space will not appear crowded, but this one in front of you..."

Dean pointed to the exhibition hall, which was a bit difficult to get in, and waved his hands.

"According to Kaito Kidd's past habits, he is more likely to show up at night. I really don't know why these people are rushing here now."

Dick shook his head helplessly.

"It can be seen that they really like Kaitou Kidd. As I said before, Kaitou Kidd is a very good magician."

Dean looked at the audience in front of him and smiled.
