Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Wayne Manor has not had guests for a long time. Master Richard, it is a good thing that you invite friends. It will add a lot of vitality to the lifeless house."

"If possible, I hope you can invite more friends over in the future, especially friends from school."

After Alfred heard Dick's thoughts, he nodded happily.

He turned to look at Dean eagerly, opened the rear door and said, "Mr. Saston, Wayne Manor is located in the outer suburbs and the road is a bit long. Please get in the car. It will take a while to reach the destination."

"Thank you, Mr. Pennyworth."

Dean thanked him naturally, without any pretense, and got into the car directly through the door Alfred opened.

Dick got in through the door on the other side.

"I'm really happy that Master Richard can invite friends to my home. You may not believe it, Mr. Suston, but you are the first person of your age to be invited by Master Richard to Wayne Manor, not counting his interactions. words from the girls.”

Alfred sat in the driver's seat and said with a look of great comfort.

"I don't mean to say that it's not good to interact with girls, but I don't want Master Richard's interpersonal circle to completely become like Master Bruce. There are only women around him, but he can never make a true friend. I hope Master Richard can have more pure friendship.”

He wasn't trying to set up his boss by saying this, because everyone in Gotham knew about Bruce Wayne's affairs, and that was the impression Bruce wanted people to have of him.

"Really? That's really an honor for me."

Dean really didn't expect that he would be the first friend invited into Wayne Manor by Dick.

Uh... It's not right to say friends. The Teen Titans must have been to Wayne Manor, so they must be non-superhero friends.

Speaking of the Teen Titans, this is a teenage superhero organization that was originally formed by the assistants of the members of the Justice League, and later absorbed many independent teenage heroes.

It was only founded about half a year later than the Justice League, and Dick is the founder and leader of the Teen Titans.

However, the Teen Titans do not appear in the news as frequently as the Justice League. After all, they are all minors. Apart from being heroes, they usually have to go to school, and they can only get together on weekends for activities.

"Speaking of which, the rest of the Teen Titans are very strong. It would be a real pain for me if Dick asked them to help me, but I know he would never do that, just like Batman would never let him. Just like the Justice League meddling in Gotham, they won't meddle in other people's cities easily."

Dean didn't quite understand this strange territoriality.

On the way to Wayne Manor, Alfred and Dean chatted wordlessly.

This allowed Dean to know a lot of secrets about the Wayne family. They were secrets, but they were just things that were unexpected and reasonable for the people of Gotham.

None of the content goes beyond what ordinary citizens of Gotham know about the Wayne family.

The strange thing is that Dick, who originally extended an invitation to Dean, suddenly fell silent and kept looking out the car window without saying a word.

The sky gradually darkened and night fell.

At this moment, Dean's address, Thaston House.

A black figure wearing tight clothes with a bulging front and back sneaked into the small villa at some point.

The extremely eye-catching bat helmet and the bat logo on the chest clearly reveal the identity of the person in the future.

Batgirl - Barbara Gordon.

Why she appeared at Dean's house had to be mentioned in the morning when she pointed out to Dick the suspect of Kaitou Kidd.

Since Dick didn't believe that Kid was Dean, the two decided to test Dean.

The plan they made was to have Dick try his best to hold Dean back while Barbara took this time to search Dean's address to see if she could find any clues.

Barbara had previously hacked into Gotham's real estate trading network to investigate, so she was very sure that the only property in Dean's name was the Thaston House.

If Dean is Kidd, then most of his crime tools are hidden here. Even if Dean uses a false identity to prepare a safe house, it will not be perfect and there must be traces to follow.

The reason why Dick chose to invite Dean right after school today was to try his best to prevent Dean from noticing that he was under suspicion and to divert relevant clues from home in advance.

Not long ago, Gordon, who knew the time when Kaid Kidd committed the crime, dismissed most of the guards in the museum, leaving only a small number of people to keep vigil in the museum.

Barbara said goodbye to Gordon on the grounds of attending a karate training class and rushed to the Saston Mansion without stopping.

"The room is a bit messy, and the items are arranged irregularly. He looks like an ordinary man. The biggest difference is that although the room is a bit messy, it feels very clean."

Barbara first walked around Dean's bedroom, carefully examining every corner.

She opened the wardrobe and bedside table one by one, rummaged through them, and even dug into the pockets of each piece of clothing.

Sometimes people just leave some items behind in their pockets. Even if the probability is low, they must be searched thoroughly.

After searching for a long time, I didn't find any suspicious points, including the entrance to the secret room.

Then Barbara moved to other rooms and searched every corner of the Thaston mansion.

In the end only the basement remained.

Entering the basement with a bat-flash in hand, Barbara cautiously walked down the stairs and pushed open the basement door.

I saw an open space filled with all kinds of dazzling magic props, and each prop had obvious signs of use.

There are so many magic props that there is almost no place to stay in the entire basement.

"This should be where Dean Thaston practices his magic."

Barbara thought to herself.

With Dean's identity, there was no problem having these things in the basement, and Barbara could tell from a cursory glance that Dean had been practicing with these props for quite some time.

No wonder he can become a famous genius magician at such a young age.

After casually rummaging through the pile of props, Barbara knew that there should be no clues about Phantom Thief Kidd here.

"It seems that Dean is really not Kaitou Kidd. I suspect the wrong person..."

After searching for a long time and finding nothing, Barbara came to the wall and sat down, staring at the four walls of the basement in a daze.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Barbara suddenly realized something was wrong.
