Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

In the surveillance footage, every once in a while, Kaitou Kidd dressed as 'Tom' would leave the restaurant and appear in the corridor. Each time he appeared in a different location. This time he was in the corridor on the left, and that time he was in the corridor on the left. Ran to the corridor on the right.

Moreover, he is always accompanied by another person or even several people. It is basically difficult to see him wandering around alone.

So much so that the policemen in the surveillance room watched the surveillance for most of the day, but they couldn't see anything wrong.

Tom was wearing a restaurant waiter's overalls, and there were so many people wearing the same clothes that he couldn't even count them as they walked up and down the corridor.

In addition, he has been following other people's actions and has never done anything obviously suspicious.

If he hadn't known in advance that there was something wrong with this 'Tom', it would have been difficult for anyone else to find out what was wrong.

The coverage of one surveillance camera is limited. A total of fifteen cameras are installed on the entire eighteenth floor to monitor the most important passages and locations.

That's right, Nuoda's auction venue only has a symbolic surveillance camera installed in the public entertainment area, but there is not even a surveillance camera in the bidding venue.

The reason is simple. The hypocritical upper-class elites in Gotham attach great importance to privacy issues. They don't like surveillance very much, and they don't like having a large group of policemen in police uniforms standing in their sight.

So if Gordon wanted to know what was going on inside, he could only rely on the dozens of plainclothes policemen inserted inside.

Only key locations in each passage and corridor are monitored. After all, this is a hotel, not a prison. It was impossible to consider installing 360-degree surveillance at the beginning of establishment.

"Here, here, and here, go back seven minutes, twenty-two minutes, and seventeen minutes respectively."

Suddenly, Robin pointed at three of the surveillance images.

"Do as he says."

Gordon said immediately.

Several police officers quickly adjusted the three pictures to the corresponding time points.

You can see that 'Tom' exists in these three pictures.

"Please pay attention, although these are images taken by three surveillance cameras from different angles, they are actually at the same location."

Robin prompted.

"Yes, this is a corner location. The three cameras are located in the middle of the two corridors and at the top of the corner."

Several policemen said in unison.

"Looking at Kaitou Kidd in these pictures, he appears in different positions, but at a certain moment, he is vaguely looking at the same position in the three pictures. He passes this corner three times in a row, and his eyes are focused. In one direction, isn’t that weird?”

Robin's eyes were deep and he said, "Is there anything there that he needs to confirm again and again?"

"Notify the patrol team nearby and go immediately..."

Gordon reacted quickly and was immediately ready to order his men to check the corner.

"No, Director Gordon, I can go alone."

Robin stopped Gordon's action and solemnly said: "We are not sure whether Kaitou Kidd will set up a trap there. It would be too dangerous for GCPD people to investigate!"

"You are still a minor, and it is even more dangerous for you to go alone!"

Gordon frowned and retorted.

"Don't underestimate me. The monsters I have dealt with are beyond your imagination."

Robin smiled slightly, patted his chest and said.

"And you have more important things to do. The situation at the bidding site is unknown. I suspect that Kaitou Kidd may have sneaked in in disguise. If we conduct a large-scale screening of the people in the venue now, there may be hope to force Come out Kaitou Kidd."

After saying that, Robin rushed out of the monitoring room without looking back.

"Wait, Robin!"

Gordon hurriedly chased out.

However, when he rushed out of the monitoring room door, Robin was nowhere to be seen.

The whole process lasted only two or three seconds, and Robin was out of Gordon's sight in just a blink of an eye.

"Shet! It's like this again..."

Gordon couldn't help but uttered a curse word, how on earth did the people of the Bat family develop such a skill that they could disappear in a blink of an eye?

He even asked Batman privately if he had the power to teleport. Batman didn't speak at that time, and Gordon didn't ask further.

Because the former's look as if looking at a fool had already told Gordon the answer...

"The current time is 23:35, and there are still twenty-five minutes before the time predicted by Kaito Kidd. If he is a punctual person, then I still have time."

Robin, who left the surveillance room on the 20th floor, ran all the way and quickly arrived at the corner shown on the surveillance camera.

He carefully observed the corner, recalling the location where Kaitou Kidd appeared in the surveillance and the direction in which the latter was looking.

Putting everything together, Robin found that there was a blind spot for surveillance five steps away from his current position at nine o'clock.

Immediately afterwards, Robin raised his head and looked at the ceiling in the blind corner of the surveillance room, and suddenly saw a vent there, and there were obvious signs of disassembly on the wire mesh of the vent.

There are many similar vents on this floor, but they are basically within the monitoring range. Only this vent is in a blind spot.

"I see, he's looking for this."

Robin thought: "According to the path of normal ventilation ducts, the location that can be reached quickly from here is... can't you say!"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Robin's mind, and he smiled victoriously, "I understand."

At this time, he looked at the time again, 23:40, which was still plenty of time.

Robin took out his hook lock gun and fired at the vent. The barbed wire that had been dismantled once was already somewhat loose, and was suddenly pulled off by the hook.

Then Robin put away the grapple gun, jumped up and kicked against the wall to grab the vent, and climbed up easily.

A few minutes later, Robin pushed open the wire fence of another vent with her elbow and jumped down.

He came to a closed room with no lights, doors or windows. The only light came from behind a curtain.

I can also hear sounds like what, what, what, what, what, two times.

"Sure enough, it leads to this place, where the bidding items are temporarily placed."

Robin looked towards the depths of the room. There were various items sealed in glass cabinets on rows of tables, all of which were auctioned today.

However, Kaitou Kidd's target "Pink Dream" is not here, because the treasures that are too valuable will be stored in another secret safe house and will not be taken here until the filming is about to start.

"Pink Dream" is the grand finale of the auction and will not be presented until the last moment.

"The nobles feasted in luxury and noisy, and no one remembered the tragedy of Troy...that's what it meant."

Robin came to the corner and looked at the second-to-last competing item on display based on the serial number—a strange wooden box.

The wooden box was not very big, had no lock, and looked new, not like a valuable antique at all.

"This is probably something Kaitou Kidd dropped. What could be in it?"

Robin thought for a moment, unsure if he should turn it on.

Without hesitation, Robin suddenly took out a gas mask and put it on himself, then resolutely opened the wooden box.

boom!

There was an explosion-like sound, and a white flag suddenly popped out from the bottom of the box.

The flag features a cartoon avatar of Kaitou Kidd and a catchy slogan.

"Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
