Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Chapter 43: Day 1 of the Exhibition (Please collect it! Please read it!)

When most people see Kidd's notice letter, they will focus on the sentence that the multiplication of 20 and 3 equals 4, thinking that only by deciphering this sentence can the secret of the notice letter be completely unlocked.

But Barbara had a different perspective.

When you can't figure out the meaning of twenty times three equals four, it means that there is still a layer of mystery hidden in this sentence itself.

换句话说,20与3的相乘能不能等于4并不重要,重要的是,“20”、“3”和“4”这三个数字究竟代表了什么?“乘”这个字眼又代表了什么?

Barbara focused on the third and fourth sentences of the notice letter.

"Mars and Caesar, one is the god of war in Roman mythology, and the other is the founder of the Roman Empire...Rome...Rome...Rome..."

After pondering for a long time, Barbara suddenly remembered the "Introduction to the Study of Greco-Roman Polytheism" in the religious section of the library.

and Dean Thaston, who came to the library last time to read.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

Barbara thought suspiciously, "I didn't think there was any problem when we met last time, but now that I think about it, why would a young magic genius be interested in the study of Greek and Roman religion?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Barbara's eyes narrowed, and she walked to the bookshelf where she met Dean before, and took out the research introduction and flipped through it.

However, after a cursory reading, Barbara did not find any relevant clues to unlock the notice letter in the book, except for the deeds and information about Mars, the Roman god of war.

"It seems that my nerves are too sensitive. He can't possibly..."

Barbara laughed to herself and put the book back in her hand.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Barbara spotted another book on the bookshelf out of the corner of her eye.

"The Negative Impact of the European Church on Cultural Development"

-

March 3st is the first day of the Dragon Egg Ruby Necklace Exhibition.

Exhibition location, Gotham Museum of Natural History.

This is the largest museum in the city, consisting of thirteen exhibition halls connected end to end, each with five floors and dozens of large exhibition halls.

Mrs. Chandler's necklace is placed on the top floor of the cultural relics exhibition hall in the center.

There were a lot more visitors to the museum today. In the past, the visitor flow was almost empty, but now it has only been open for two hours, and it has already shown the momentum of a huge crowd.

I don't know if it's because the 'Dragon Egg Ruby Necklace' is so famous and people want to see what it looks like with their own eyes, or if it's because they want to see how Kidd stole the necklace.

More than two hundred plainclothes police officers from the GCPD were closely guarding the area around the cultural relics exhibition hall, monitoring every visitor who came here at all times.

Inside the exhibition hall, there were nearly a hundred police officers distributed at various locations on the five floors. The battle seemed so powerful that visitors to the cultural relics exhibition hall unconsciously followed the order.

In addition to the cultural relics exhibition hall, the most important protection site, various numbers of police officers are also deployed in other exhibition halls, which can be used as mobile units to transfer support in time when necessary.

This time the GCPD mobilized several times more manpower than before, but Gordon still felt that it was not safe enough, so he temporarily deployed two police helicopters to patrol the sky above the museum.

If Kaito Kid wants to use a hang glider to catch him off guard, the air flow from the helicopter's propeller will teach him how to behave.

However, this time the police did not use facial recognition to verify whether the tourist was disguised as Kaitou Kidd.

Because the entire exhibition will last for fifteen days, they can't be sure when Kaito Kidd will sneak in.

If you go over and pinch a tourist's face every day for fifteen days in a row, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the masses.

If one is not handled well, a conflict may even break out.

This is definitely not a situation Gordon wants to see.

As a result, the police can only work hard on surveillance.

At this moment, a young and beautiful red-haired girl walked into the door of the Natural History Museum.

After entering the square, she saw a familiar figure wearing a cowboy hat, leading a patrol.

"Hi! Harvey."

Barbara took the initiative to come over and say hello to Bullock.

"Oh hi, Barbara! Are you here to visit your Uncle Brock?"

Hearing Barbara's voice, Bullock turned around and smiled happily. He and Gordon have known each other for many years and have been inseparable. He can be regarded as watching Barbara grow up with his own eyes.

Bullock, who is still alone for some reasons, may have already regarded Barbara as his own child deep down in his heart.

"I'd love to make you happy and say 'yes', but I'm sorry, no, I'm here for only one purpose, and that is to see Kaitou Kidd."

Barbara winked mischievously.

"Shh!"

Bullock suddenly made a silent gesture to her, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Be careful, don't let your father hear what you just said. He hates Kaitou Kidd so much that his teeth are itching."

"Don't worry, Uncle Brock. Of course I know how much my dad hates Kaitou Kid. I doubt he could criticize Kaitou Kidd all night long if he wasn't afraid of being complained about disturbing people late at night."

Barbara clicked her tongue in wonder.

"Anyway, I want to visit the exhibition to see what the thing Kaito Kid wants to steal looks like, so I won't disturb you and continue patrolling."

After being separated from Bullock and others, the naughty and cute smile on Barbara's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by seriousness and seriousness.

She calmly took out an earphone and put it on, and then a slightly urgent voice came.

"Have you entered the museum?"

"Obviously, yes."

At the same time, the graduating class of Gotham High School, sitting in the last row by the window, also had an earphone in Dick's ear.

It was he who was talking to Barbara remotely, still in class.

Gotham's private high schools are quite liberal and do not explicitly prohibit students from using electronic devices. It is not uncommon for students to wear headphones, mobile phones, tablets and even laptops in class, as long as the students themselves believe that using these items can improve their learning efficiency.

But the premise is that when you get up to answer the questions, you can answer them accurately instead of not knowing all the questions. Otherwise, it will be a bad attitude towards learning, and the electronic equipment you use will be confiscated in class.

Therefore, Dick was inconspicuous in the classroom with his headphones on.

Dick lowered his voice just enough for Barbara and himself to hear, but not for anyone around him.

Even Dean, who was sitting in front of him, couldn't hear him with his ears.

But what’s interesting is that Dean also wears a headset on his left ear…

(It suddenly occurred to me that we can play an interactive game. If any book friends can solve the complete trailer before the chapter is released, I will add three more chapters. This game will be permanent and can be played until the end of the book)
