Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Dean rolled his eyes and quickly guessed where Dick was now.

Then he stood up from his seat.

"Where do you want to go?"

Luck beside him couldn't help but asked strangely when he saw "Grey Tard Ethan" getting up for no reason.

"Oh, I just need to... go to the bathroom, you know, I just ate a little too much."

Dean said with a sneer.

"That's why you're always so fat that it's hard to even walk."

Lark glanced at Dean with disgust, sat on his seat and opened his legs slightly to the right, because only in this way could "Grey Tard" walk through the aisle that was not actually narrow.

Fortunately, the two of them were in the outermost corner, and Dean passed by Lark and reached the outer steps.

After coming out, Dean quietly left the auction venue.

Just after Dean left the side door of the auction venue, another person in the venue also left...

On the other side, the kitchen on the first floor of Gotham International Hotel.

While everyone was busy working, there was a sudden clang on the kitchen door.

The sudden sound startled everyone, and they turned to look at the door.

A young man wearing a red tights, green tights and an eyepatch on his face walked in.

On his shoulders was a young man wearing only a thin shirt and shorts, who was sleeping soundly.

When the staff in the kitchen saw the young man on the boy's shoulder, the expressions on their faces became even more surprised.

"Isn't that Tom! Is the person behind his back Robin?"

"I remember that Tom was sent to the 18th floor to serve dishes. How could he fall asleep and be brought here by Robin?"

"and many more!"

At this time, an employee who was cutting salmon suddenly shouted, "Do you still remember that GCPD said that Kaitou Kidd would disguise himself as someone else? The person in front of us may not be Tom! Maybe Robin caught him Kaito Kidd disguised as Tom!"

"It seems to make sense, but how can we be sure that Kaito Kid is pretending to be Tom? Maybe Robin is Kaito Kid in disguise!"

Another employee who was grinding meat asked rhetorically.

Robin didn't explain too much. He just put the sleeping Tom on the ground and said lightly, "I found him on the rooftop of the hotel. Phantom Thief Kidd knocked him out."

After saying that, Robin turned and left the kitchen.

Soon after, the control room on the twentieth floor of the hotel.

GCPD Chief Jim Gordon and several elite subordinates from the intelligence team stayed here, staring intently at the dozens of surveillance images on the entire wall.

"It's been more than an hour since the auction started, and I haven't found anything unusual at all. Will Kaitou Kidd really come?"

One of the subordinates blinked his dry eyes, picked up the brewed coffee on the table and took a sip.

"Don't be careless. It's not midnight as Kidd predicted. Anything can happen in the meantime."

Gordon's face darkened and he alerted his subordinates.

"You're right, and in fact, Kaito Kidd has already sneaked into the hotel."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Gordon.

"who!"

Several policemen in the surveillance room turned around instantly, took out their pistols and pointed them at the person behind them.

"Robin?"

Gordon looked at the visitor in surprise, and just when his expression was about to calm down, he suddenly remembered that Kaitou Kidd could disguise himself, and stared at Robin warily.

"How are you going to prove that you are not Kaitou Kidd?"

Robin was silent for a moment, and then took out a golden badge from somewhere with the word law engraved on it.

"Do you still remember this? When Batman took me to the Bat-Lamp appointment for the first time a few years ago, you personally gave me this souvenir. You also said it was a symbol of our partnership."

Seeing the badge, Gordon's face looked much better, and he almost believed Robin in his heart, but he still had the last trace of doubt.

"Maybe you stole this from the kid. Not many people know about the badge, but there are still a few people in Gotham who can find out. You have to tell something that only the two of us know. At least I have to tell you something."

Gordon said forcefully.

"Okay, let me think about what to say..."

Robin shook his head helplessly, then touched his chin and said, "What about the pipe? Director Gordon, you used to like to smoke ordinary cigarettes like everyone else, but later because Batman often appeared behind you, you always It will startle you so much that the cigarette in your mouth falls to the ground, and then you switch to a pipe and keep smoking with your hand."

"Oh - I was just talking about how the director started smoking with an antique pipe like that for no reason. At first I thought he started to like retro styles, but I didn't expect that the real reason was this!"

A policeman next to him showed a look of realization and said to his colleagues beside him.

Gordon glanced at him expressionlessly and didn't say anything. He just glanced at him lightly and then turned back to look at Robin again.

"You successfully proved your identity, Robin, so what did you mean when you said that Kaitou Kidd had infiltrated?"

"I found an unconscious man on the rooftop of the hotel. His name was Tom and he was a staff member in the kitchen on the first floor, but before I found Tom who was unconscious, the people in the kitchen had been working with 'Tom'. "

Robin concealed the fact that Kidd had temporarily issued a personal challenge to him, and only told the process of discovering Tom.

"Apparently, Kaitou Kidd disguised himself as Tom and sneaked into the hotel. I am here to investigate 'Tom's' movement through surveillance."

"Quick! Assemble surveillance and push the time forward!"

Gordon immediately issued an order to his subordinates.

The matter was so important that several other police officers immediately started operating the monitoring station.

The surveillance footage began to move forward, until about two hours ago, a man who looked exactly like Tom came out of the kitchen on the first floor and pushed a cart full of ingredients into the elevator.

Robin stared attentively, watching every move of 'Tom' on the screen.

Then something strange happened. In the surveillance record, 'Tom' was seen quietly looking left and right while pushing the car.

The movement of his head was so slight that it would not have been noticed if one had not observed carefully. Gordon and others were facing dozens of surveillance images at the same time, so it was normal that they did not notice it at the time.

Continue to view monitoring records.

After working as a waiter in the restaurant on the 18th floor, 'Tom's behavior became even more bizarre.

(PS: Just a quick reminder, I previously set the auction to start at 7pm, but later I felt that 7pm was a bit too early, so I changed the previous time to 9pm, and I’d like to explain it to the old readers here. )
