Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Sitting in the back seat by the window, Dean listened to the slight sound in his headphones and thought to himself.

"Dick sent someone to the museum..."

Why could Dean hear Dick's call?

In fact, the method is very simple. As long as you can decipher the frequency band of electromagnetic waves when Dick and Barbara are talking, and then use a series of methods, you can easily achieve the purpose of monitoring.

Of course, Dean hasn't mastered this level of technology yet, and he doesn't have the tools yet.

In fact, Dean installed a miniature bug that looked like chewing gum on the reverse side of the corner edge of Dick's desk, which was the outer edge of the tabletop that was more than the drawer.

It was not the first day that Dean eavesdropped on Dick. As early as the day he debuted as Phantom Thief Kidd, Dean had already begun to consciously eavesdrop on Dick. He would come to school early in the morning to install the eavesdropping device and collect it directly after school.

This is a very bold and dangerous behavior. Once Dick discovers the existence of the bug, or Dick has some kind of quirk that likes to touch under the table, the situation will be very detrimental to Dean.

But on the other hand, Dean knew that Dick was quite at ease with him so far, and after knowing him for so many years, Dean had never noticed that Dick had the habit of checking under the table.

Even if Dick stumbles upon the bug, Dean can excuse it by pranking him with gum, although this is not easy.

All in all, given Dick's special identity as Robin, even if there was only a small chance of hearing useful information, Dean believed the risk was worth taking.

It turns out that Dean was more or less right in his bet.

"Who is the person talking to Dick, Alfred? It's a pity that the bug can only hear Dick's voice, not the voice in his earphones."

Dean's face was calm, and he appeared to be listening carefully to the lecture, but in fact most of his attention was on Dick.

On the other side, Barbara seemed to be wandering around the exhibition site carelessly, just like the ordinary tourists around her.

"You are so anxious for me to come to the museum to conduct reconnaissance. Have you already unlocked the notice?"

Barbara asked Dick quietly.

"...Only one sentence was solved."

Dick was silent for a moment, then answered.

"When Mars passes the tenth day and night, it means that Kaitou Kidd will take action on March 3th."

"Mars, the god of war in Roman mythology, is the origin of March. Spending the tenth day and night means that ten days have passed literally, that is, March 3."

Barbara was not surprised that Dick solved this sentence, because she also solved it, and she solved it more than Dick.

"You know that Kaitou Kidd won't take action until the 11th. Why do you want me to come here on the first day? Do you know that I am very busy at work every day?"

Dick twitched the corner of his mouth and said this as if he had never been to the library. He pretended not to hear and continued.

"I have fought against Kaitou Kidd twice. Although he will wait until the preview time arrives before showing up, it does not mean that he will only come to the scene at that time."

"Every action of Kaitou Kidd is fast and accurate. Every move has a very strong purpose. The planning of the escape route is even more interlocking. This shows that he knows the terrain of the scene very well. This level of understanding is not It can be achieved in just a few hours.”

Dick said seriously: "I'm sure that Kaitou Kidd will start surveying the target location days or even weeks in advance every time he takes action."

"Today is the first day of the exhibition, and it is also the first day of the GCPD's large-scale settlement. Kaitou Kidd will probably start observing the police's post layout from now on, and you may be able to find some clues."

"I have to attend classes for three days before taking two days off. It's not convenient for me to take leave to go to the exhibition hall."

"So you want me to come here? It seems that you learned some lessons from your fight with Kaitou Kidd."

After listening to Dick's words, Barbara finally understood why this kid asked her to come to the museum early in the morning.

"Actually, there are more important reasons."

At this time, Dick suddenly said in a solemn tone: "At the Gotham Hotel auction, Kaitou Kidd gave me an invitation card to Robin. At that time, I was Dick Grayson, and Not Robin!"

Hearing this, Barbara's expression suddenly became unstable.

"You mean Kaitou Kidd knows who you are? Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier? You should have told me that day!"

"What about Bruce and Alfred? And me? Are all of us exposed?"

Dick said solemnly: "To be honest, I'm not sure. At least Kaitou Kidd didn't threaten us with our identities, nor did he reveal any signs of this information to others. I still retain my original views on Kaitou Kidd for the time being. I don’t think he’s a completely bad guy.”

Listening to Dick's words, Barbara somehow remembered Dean.

She suddenly asked: "Dick, do you know Dean Thaston?"

"Dean? He is my classmate. Why do you mention him?"

Dick asked confused.

"I met him in the library a few days ago. At that time, he was reading religious works such as Greece and Rome. Then Kaitou Kidd's new trailer has obvious Roman elements, and he is also a magician who became famous at a young age. You Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?”

Barbara whispered.

"Do you suspect that Dean is Kaitou Kidd?" Dick raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "I know Dean, there is no way he can do those things."

At this moment, Dean, sitting at the table in front of Dick, suddenly felt guilty for some reason.

Hmm... It's probably because my intake of carbohydrates and fats has been a little too high recently, and I need to keep my body fat rate low.

After making a decision in his heart, Dean continued to eavesdrop on Dick's call.

"I know you and Dean are friends. To be honest, I don't have a bad opinion of him, and I don't want to doubt him, but this is too much of a coincidence."

Barbara made a proposal to Dick, "We don't want Dean to be Kaitou Kidd, so I decided to give you an important task, not because of doubting him, but to prove Dean's innocence."

After hearing Barbara's suggestion, Dick looked hesitant, but in the final analysis, Barbara's suspicion was justified.

"Okay, I agree with you."

Dick was not a shy person, so he agreed immediately after he figured it out.

"Don't worry, we will never wrong any good person, right -"

At this time, Barbara asked with a smile in her eyes.

"Do you want to know what 20 times 3 equals 4 means?"
