Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

The opening remarks that resounded throughout the audience attracted everyone's attention. Whether it was the upper class people who came to participate in the bidding or the GCPD police officers, they all turned their attention to the dazzling white figure at this moment.

Looking at the elegant Phantom Thief under the spotlight, Gordon's face was filled with disbelief.

"Kaitou Kidd! Why did he appear there?"

His doubts were the same as Robin's before. It was clearly confirmed from the surveillance records that Kaitou Kidd did not have the time to do anything in the hotel, so why did the hotel still have a power outage?

Moreover, not long ago, when Gordon requested that the bidders in the venue be re-screened, they also carefully checked the hosting platform and the surrounding environment, and did not find Kaitou Kidd hiding nearby.

As mentioned earlier, the entire auction venue is mainly divided into two areas. One part is an entertainment venue that combines functions such as restaurants, dance halls, and bars, and the other part is the formal bidding venue. The two are separated by a huge curtain. , essentially in the same big venue.

Excluding the ventilation duct that Robin crawled over, the auction site does not have its own entrance and exit. Entry and exit must go through the entertainment venue. People participating in the auction are gathering in the large open space of the entertainment venue at this time, waiting for the police to conduct personnel counting and identity verification. .

It is most likely that Kaitou Kidd is hiding among the group of bidders, but now all bidders are under police supervision. According to common sense, it is impossible for him to appear on the stage at this time.

"Who is that white guy?"

There was a question in the crowd. For the upper class like them, not everyone is interested in the crime news that happens every day, let alone a mere thief. It is normal for them to have no impression of Kaitou Kidd.

"He is Kaitou Kidd! Don't you know? He is very famous in Gotham recently. It is said that he is a psychopathic thief who likes to return stolen things!"

There are people who don’t know, and naturally there are people who like hot news.

"We meet again, Commissioner Gordon, and the Bat Boy Wonder."

Kaitou Kid looked at Gordon and Robin opposite and said with a smile.

"Hmm... I don't think I saw the 'Pink Dream' here. It's a pity that I can't see the brilliance of the world's largest pink diamond in person."

Kaitou Kidd said this, his tone seemed to be filled with distress.

"Mr. Director, do you know where this pink diamond is hidden?"

"Put your hands up, Kaitou Kidd! All routes on this floor have been blocked by us. You have no way out!"

Gordon turned a deaf ear to his question, directly raised his pistol and pointed it at the Kaitou Kid in front of him, and gave a stern warning.

"You chose the wrong time to show up. Now everyone has left the auction venue. You can no longer use the public as a shield. If you choose to resist to the end, the police have the right to kill you on the spot!"

"Kaitou Kidd, the crime you are committing now is not serious. I don't want things to become irreversible, and I believe you don't want to either. If you surrender now and plead guilty sincerely, I promise you that you will I’ll try my best to help you apply for a commutation of your sentence!”

Faced with Gordon's warning and persuasion to surrender, Kaitou Kidd's face did not show the slightest fluctuation, and he continued to say in a troubled tone: "Really? It turns out that the police don't know where the items they want to protect are hidden..."

At this time, Robin, who was not far below the host table, suddenly frowned. From the moment Kaitou Kidd appeared on the stage to now, only his voice came out without any body movements. Although his facial expressions were lost due to the strange backlighting of the lenses, I can't see it clearly, but it always gives people a sense of violation.

Could it be that……

Robin suddenly recalled a technique used by Kaitou Kidd.

"Sir, do you need to fire?"

Seeing that Kidd had no intention of surrendering, a GCPD subordinate next to Gordon asked.

"Wait! Don't shoot!"

At this time, Robin suddenly stopped him and rushed to the host table as fast as possible.

The strange thing is that Robin rushed to the host's stage, but Kaitou Kidd on the stage did not react at all and stayed in place motionless.

puff!

Robin rushed over and punched "Phantom Thief Kid" in the face. The latter made a dull sound and then popped like a balloon!

People who saw this scene were dumbfounded again.

"This is indeed a dummy."

Robin squatted down, reached out and rummaged through the remains of the dummy, and found a loudspeaker.

"The sound just now was made by Kaitou Kidd. The real Kaitou Kidd is not here!"

So the question is, if Kaito Kidd is not here, where is he?

"Look, everyone, there is Kaitou Kidd!"

At this moment, a sharp scream came from the crowd.

Everyone looked in the direction pointed by the speaker, and sure enough they saw a white figure vaguely visible on the last row of seats in the venue.

But unlike the dummy on the hosting stage, which was illuminated by a spotlight, this new white figure looked very blurry in the dim environment.

If it weren't for the fact that Kaito Kid's white uniform was more eye-catching in the darker environment, no one would have noticed that there was someone hiding there.

"You two go over and take a look. That might be a dummy too. If the other party doesn't move, don't shoot at will."

Gordon picked out two of his subordinates behind him.

Just as the two police officers walked away, there was another scream from the back.

"Behind us! Kaitou Kidd is behind us!"

This time the person who spoke out was a police officer.

Everyone followed the sound and looked behind them, and sure enough they saw a white figure very similar to Kaito Kidd, more than 20 meters behind them.

This time there is a decisive difference from the first two white figures - he is moving!

The speed is not slow, much faster than the average person's running speed.

If it can move, it shouldn't be a dummy... Tonight's farce is finally coming to an end.

Gordon thought so.

Just when he was about to order the capture of Kaito Kidd, a series of exclamations rang out from the crowd.

"Look! It's Kaitou Kidd, he's on the right!"

"That one looks fake at first glance. It won't even move. The one at nine o'clock is Kaitou Kidd!"

"Are you kidding? No one can walk like that. It's too uncoordinated. The one in the direction of the ballroom is Kaitou Kidd!"

One, two, three... more and more "Kidd" were discovered in the venue, giving them the illusion that they were surrounded by Kidd.

"Sir, this is patrol team A. We have an important report!"

At this time, Gordon's walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

Thinking of the current situation, Gordon's heart skipped a beat.

"We found a figure suspected of being Kaitou Kidd in the No. 1 corridor on the 18th floor. The target moved very fast. We are about to lose him. Please send support to intercept him!"

As soon as this report was completed, another tip came in.

"Reporting to the commander, this is patrol team C. We found it at the entrance of the fourth staircase..."
