Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"You...what do you want to say?"

Dean was startled by Dick's serious look, so he showed his cards? What cards does he have to play?

The eldest son of the Wayne family, the heir to the circus trapeze acrobatics, the king of high school artillery, and the overall champion of the campus buttocks competition...

Dean already knew this.

Could it be that he wanted to tell himself that he was Robin?

"You guessed it right, I want to be a policeman in the future!"

Dick said decisively, resolutely and resolutely.

"what?"

Dean looked at Dick up and down with a strange expression on his face. These words didn't seem like something he could say at all.

Aren't you a superhero? He is still the captain of the Teen Titans, and with his relationship with Batman, he will definitely join the Justice League in the future, and maybe even become a cadre or something.

Isn't this identity more exciting than a little policeman?

But now you tell me that you want to be a policeman, you are fooling me!

"I'm not kidding you, Dean."

Dick saw obvious doubt in Dean's eyes, which was not surprising, because even he thought his idea was ridiculous.

"After graduating this year, I plan to go to the Police Academy in Blüdhaven for further studies."

Bludhaven is a small seaport town located in New Jersey, not far from Gotham. Its main industry is fishing. It is a poor town with relatively backward technology and economy, and the crime rate remains high.

Compared with Gotham, which has one of the largest economies in the world, Bludhaven looks more like a hell on earth.

No one in their right mind would want to study there.

"Really or not, are you sure Mr. Wayne will allow you to go to college in a place like Blüdhaven?"

At this moment, Dean began to wonder whether the man in front of him was really Dick, or was Dick finally unable to bear the pressure of Gotham's evil and being driven crazy?

"And your grades aren't bad either. Not to mention the Ivy League schools, it's not a problem to go to a top police academy in a big city. As for Bludhaven..."

As a friend, Dean believed that he had an obligation to persuade Dick not to delay his future.

"Stop talking, Dean, I understand what you mean, but I have thought about this carefully, and what I should talk about now is not my plan for further study."

Dick didn't lie, he did make this decision after careful consideration.

Whether he showed it or not, Dick had begun to question Batman's behavior in his heart. They had been fighting evil in Gotham for so many years, and the city had always been the same.

He wanted to explore whether there was a better way to change Gotham. Since it was unreasonable for masked vigilantes to use violence to control violence, it was better to try to see if it was feasible to enforce the law as a law enforcer.

But Dick couldn't stay in Gotham, because that would lead to an inevitable conflict with Batman. Moreover, he chose to take this road to escape Batman's shadow. Of course, he could only go to other cities.

"I hope you really know this. It's impossible for me to go to college in Bludhaven anyway."

Seeing Dick's resolute attitude, Dean gave up the idea of ​​continuing to persuade him. Anyway, he had said everything he needed to say.

"All in all, if I want to be a good police detective in the future, I have to develop the necessary abilities in advance, and preferably have some practical experience."

"So you want to prove your talent by catching Kaitou Kidd, and you also hope that I can help you see through Kaitou Kidd's modus operandi?"

Dean finally understood why Dick wanted to drag him to the exhibition.

"Are you sure you won't be kicked out by Director Gordon on the sacred grounds of interfering with official duties?"

Dean asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry, we just treat ourselves as private detectives. The police use their own methods to deal with Kaitou Kidd, and we use our own, just don't let them know, and... I have a friend who can help."

After a pause, Dick continued.

"Actually, I've had this idea for a long time, but Kaito Kidd always chooses to act late at night. I'm sorry to disturb you, but this time it's different."

Dean quickly captured the key information in Dick's words and interjected: "You really understood the contents of the notice letter, otherwise how did you know that Kaitou Kidd's operation time was not late at night?"

"Shh--keep your voice down, don't let others hear you."

Dick quickly signaled Dean to be silent, "I can tell you the secret of the notice letter, but you have to promise me to go to the exhibition with me."

"Haha, you obviously want to play the game of police catching thieves. It's called improving your criminal investigation ability, but in fact you want me to crack the thief's method. Is this going to improve you or me?"

Dean chuckled.

"No, no, no, these are two different things. Even the most skilled police detectives will not refuse the help of professional technicians. Actively seeking the most suitable helpers will greatly improve the efficiency of solving cases."

Dick waved his hands repeatedly, pretending to be profound.

"...Okay, you invited me so sincerely, then I will mercifully agree."

Dean nodded helplessly and agreed to Dick's invitation.

"Great! I knew you would say yes."

Dick told Dean all the secrets of the notice letter as promised, including how to use the knowledge of Tarot cards to solve the problem.

Dean pretended to listen attentively, but in fact he was laughing inwardly.

Sure enough, the last alibi had allowed Dick and Barbara to completely dispel their doubts about themselves. Maybe similar methods may not be able to hide from Batman, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Dean and Kidd are basically It has been divided into two people.

Whether it is personality expression or daily speech and behavior, the two are completely different.

This means that Dean can gradually start to try to use his true identity to complete some more convenient tasks in the future.

It's risky, of course, but worth it.

Time flies so fast, March 3st arrives in the blink of an eye.

This day was not the day that Kaito Kidd had predicted, nor was it the day that any other thief had predicted.

Except for Kaitou Kidd, no thief would send a warning letter before committing a crime.

Nonetheless, it is a special day, especially for Offee Jewellery.

Because of the legendary gem of bad luck, the world-famous 'Hope Blue Diamond' will be officially put on display on this day.

A few days ago, the diamond could be tightly sealed to prevent anyone from getting close to it, but now it must be taken out for people to admire.

In other words, a thief eyeing the diamond could steal it at any time.

"Tomorrow is the time for Kaitou Kidd's announcement. Why did you call me over now?"

In an exhibition hall with a strong sense of technology, Dean's eyes were wandering, casually scanning among the various exhibits as if on a horse, and at the same time, he whispered to Dick beside him.

"I think Kaitou Kidd has the habit of scouting areas in advance. Maybe he is hiding somewhere here now."

Dick's face was cautious, his sharp eyes constantly shifting among the tourists, alert to the appearance of any suspicious person.
