Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Wayne Manor, Batcave.

Batgirl drove in on a Batbike.

At the same time, Alfred was discussing something with Dick here.

"Hey! Ah Fu, Elf Boots, it seems I came at the right time. What are you talking about?"

Barbara took off her helmet and greeted the two of them.

"Welcome back, Miss Gordon."

Alfred smiled as warmly as ever.

"Hey Barbara, are you still tracking the escaped Firefly?"

Dick replied and then asked.

"Not for the time being. I still haven't found Firefly's whereabouts. This is very unusual. In a city as big as Gotham, it's impossible for him to be active outside without leaving any clues. Someone must have hidden him."

"Who would hide a psychotic pyromaniac when they have nothing to do?"

Hearing this, Dick touched his chin and said to himself.

Barbara shook her head and said: "I don't have a clue yet. There are too many suspects, and the search is endless."

"So...you came here today to prepare?"

Dick gave Barbara a strange look. Considering that her identity as the director's daughter and her job as a librarian required confidentiality, Barbara usually would not come to the Batcave unless there were special circumstances.

"Well, I saw some interesting news not long ago..."

Barbara recounted the news content she had seen before and added her own conjectures.

"Joining an exhibition with Penguin? This idea is really stupid. Even if Mrs. Chandler is really old and confused, she wouldn't be able to make such a decision. There is definitely something fishy involved!"

"I think this is probably the Penguin's behind-the-scenes instigation. He wants to use the exhibition to attract someone's attention."

Barbara said confidently, "If my guess is correct, this is a trap set by Penguin for Phantom Thief Kidd. In order to retaliate against Phantom Thief Kidd for destroying his money laundering business, the Dragon Egg Ruby Necklace is just a bait. "

After listening to Barbara's words, Dick's expression suddenly became strange.

"Since when did you become so interested in Kaitou Kidd? Didn't I tell you not to get involved in this matter?"

Dick looked Barbara up and down, his eyes wary.

"But I remember you vowed last time that if I saw Kaitou Kidd with my own eyes, I would know what he is capable of. I really want to meet this Kaitou Kidd now."

Barbara shrugged and raised the corners of her mouth: "And you have already missed Kaitou Kidd twice. The Penguin is likely to make a big splash this time. I think it is necessary to give you some help." .”

"So if Kaitou Kidd really wants to take action on the 'Dragon Egg Ruby Necklace', then I will get involved."

At this time, Alfred next to him interrupted and said, "Miss Gordon, it's great that you are willing to cooperate with Master Richard. We were discussing this matter just now."

"How can you make decisions on your own? Afu, Barbara and I have a clear division of labor. Phantom Thief Kidd is mine! She only needs to take care of the neighborhood she is responsible for."

Dick said urgently, curling his lips in displeasure.

"Wow, it's so rare to see you so emotional. Where is our quick-witted magical boy?"

Barbara exaggeratedly covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Humph!"

Dick snorted and turned away.

Barbara was amazed, turned to Alfred and said: "Are all adolescent boys like this? I can imagine how difficult it is for you, Ah Fu."

"Haha~"

Alfred smiled mysteriously.

"Sometimes, Master Richard will do some behaviors that give me a headache, but compared to the previous Master Bruce, he is already a very well-behaved child."

Upon hearing this, Barbara's eyes lit up instantly and she immediately asked: "What has Bruce done before?"

Dick on the side still kept his head turned and sulking posture, but his ears moved obviously.

Seeing that both children wanted to hear old stories so much, Alfred began to reminisce.

"When Master Bruce was fifteen years old, he..."

Late night at Chandler Manor.

Unlike Wayne Manor, which looks very quaint on the outside, this ancestral home of the Chandler family has been demolished and rebuilt many times, although it is also old.

The original pure wood has been replaced with the most advanced top-grade materials. It has all the functions of fire protection, explosion protection and shock resistance. It is almost comparable to a simple fortress.

On the other hand, Wayne Manor is still the same old house from a hundred years ago, and even some of the wood in parts has a musty smell.

However, in terms of interior decoration, the two are very close, mainly low-key, and the overall look is not grand, or even a bit ordinary.

But when you pick up any device randomly placed in the corridor, it may be worth a sky-high price.

In the room, Mrs. Chandler was sitting on the sofa, with a haggard face and sad eyes.

Compared to when she was in front of the camera, she seemed to be more than twenty years older now, and the necklace she often wore around her neck was nowhere to be found.

"Madam, what did Oswald do to you that day? Did he take your necklace away?"

A stooped old housekeeper stood in front of Mrs. Chandler, his eyes filled with sadness and anger, "I can guess even if you didn't tell me, that Penguin wants to use you as his revenge tool!"

"He doesn't understand what that necklace means to you at all! He is a shameful gangster! A robber! A murderer! The Cobot family has been completely disgraced by him! We cannot let him be at his mercy..."

"do not talk!"

Mrs. Chandler suddenly became emotional, "What else can I do? What's the use of cursing here? Oswald's determination has never changed. When he came to me, I had nothing else. chosen!"

"Sorry ma'am, I made a mistake."

The old housekeeper sighed.

"I'm tired, you go down first."

Mrs. Chandler closed her eyes and spoke calmly.

Not long after, the sound of a door closing sounded.

The old housekeeper stood at the door in silence for a while before getting up and leaving.

"and many more!"

Before he had gone far, Mrs. Chandler suddenly chased him and stopped him.

"What are your orders, ma'am?"

The old housekeeper immediately bowed and asked.

"I've thought about what I just said, and you're right. We can't be at the mercy of the Penguin."

Mrs. Chandler supported the old housekeeper's shoulders and said decisively.

"You go arrange a car and driver immediately. I'm going to the GCPD to find Director Gordon for help."

Hearing that his wife had made up her mind, the old housekeeper was very excited and immediately turned around to make travel arrangements.

Not long after walking, the old housekeeper suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Madam had a sad look on her face just now, why did she change her mood so quickly? And she didn't seem to hear the sound of the door opening just now."

The most important thing is that Mrs. Chandler's face seems... much younger?

The more the old housekeeper thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. When he looked back, there was no sign of Mrs. Chandler in the corridor, and there was no sound of opening or closing the door.

"lady!"

With a clang, the old housekeeper hurried back to the room.

Mrs. Chandler was startled by the old housekeeper. She just raised her head and wanted to scold him, but something about him attracted her attention.

"What's that on your left shoulder?"

Hearing Mrs. Chandler's question, the old housekeeper subconsciously looked sideways.

I saw a white card stuck on his collar!

The old butler took the card down tremblingly.

There are several paragraphs of text clearly written on the card, and a cartoon avatar is drawn in the lower right corner.

"If 20 multiplied by 3 equals 4,

Then I will come at a time that does not exist,

When Mars passed his tenth day and night,

Following the guidance of Caesar,

Come and worship the blood-stained dragon eggs.

Yours sincerely, Kaitou Kidd"
