Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

The two employees who were scolded by Director Offee lowered their heads in shame and remained silent.

At this time, Barbara stepped forward and said: "Director Aoife, the top priority is to confirm whether the diamond is safe as soon as possible. We all know that Kaitou Kidd's disguise is very powerful. It is understandable that your employees can't see it. "

Dick also echoed: "Ms. Gordon is right. The first priority is to ensure that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' is still in the exhibition hall. Let's put aside the issue of accountability first."

Hearing the voices of the two people, the angry Curator Ao Fei immediately wanted to say, "Are you teaching me how to do things?" ', turned around and saw that the anger in his heart automatically dissipated a bit.

She is the daughter of Commissioner Gordon and the adopted son of the Wayne family...

Director Ao Fei said with a straight face: "Mr. Grayson, Miss Gordon, I have actually checked in advance. The 'Hope Blue Diamond' is still in the ice and has not been stolen."

Hearing this, Dick and Barbara looked at each other, seeing the same confusion in each other's eyes.

"If Kaito Kidd disguised himself as a repairman and entered the exhibition hall yesterday, why didn't he take that opportunity to steal the 'Hope Blue Diamond'?"

"Director Aoife, are you sure the diamond in the ice is the 'Hope Blue Diamond'? Is it possible that it was an imitation that Kidd put in to confuse us?"

Dick held his chin and asked, "After all, the diamond is in a blue transparent box. It is impossible to verify the authenticity of the diamond from the outside with the naked eye."

"You can rest assured on that, I'm pretty sure it's true."

Curator Aoife said without thinking.

Even the repairman who entered the exhibition hall for maintenance with the fake employee said: "Yesterday, when we finished the maintenance work and left the exhibition hall, a large part of the ice cubes had not melted. I am sure that he did not have time to steal it at that time. Diamond walker.”

"Other employees were responsible for putting away the diamonds and re-freezing them in ice, and they were under surveillance throughout the process. The box was not even opened, and it was impossible to steal the 'Hope Blue Diamond'."

Dick's brows suddenly frowned.

If this statement is true, then Kaitou Kidd did not steal the diamond, but why?

Is it because he said he would steal again at Easter, so he didn't plan to take action in advance, but just did some reconnaissance in the exhibition hall?

Or is it that Kaitou Kidd found that the defense level in the exhibition hall was too high and had no chance to make a move, so he had to retreat temporarily?

"In any case, it's best to thaw the ice and conduct a thorough appraisal of the diamond."

Barbara said aloud.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Director Ao Fei quickly stopped her and said, "No!"

Others don't know, but he knows best what's in the ice. It's not a 'Blue Diamond of Hope', but a serious 'Stone of Doom'!

If this is taken out for appraisal, regardless of whether it is true or false, I am afraid that as soon as the box is opened, everyone present will be plagued by bad luck and die.

The 'Stone of Doom' must not be unlocked until the exhibition ends or Kaito Kidd steals it!

Dick and Barbara turned their eyes to him at the same time and said in unison: "Why not?"

"Uh... the exhibition is about to start. If we melt the ice now, how should we explain it to the visitors? How should we explain it to the Smithsonian Museum?"

Curator Ao Fei was so anxious that he came up with a barely reasonable excuse.

"If it is not handled properly, the outside world may think that the diamond has been stolen. Then those unscrupulous media will add fuel to the fire, and the security strength of our exhibition hall will be labeled as waste, and no one will trust it anymore. This exhibition hall!”

"I spent almost all my savings on this exhibition, and I can't afford the loss."

Curator Aoife said sadly, playing the emotional card with Dick and Barbara.

"Not to mention that Kaitou Kidd basically didn't have time to steal the diamonds. Even if he did steal them, he would probably return them."

"How could you think so!"

Barbara both said angrily.

"I don't want to have this idea, but the reality forces me to do it. There are hundreds of employees in the exhibition hall who have to be paid, and I must maintain the reputation of the exhibition hall."

Curator Ao Fei was so convinced that he even believed it, his expression full of helplessness.

Who told you to take the gamble and take on such an important exhibition project as 'Hope Blue Diamond'?

If you want to become famous all at once through this plan, but you don't have the confidence to take the risk of failure, then you shouldn't be in this business.

Dick wanted to say this, but the kind-hearted man finally swallowed his words when he saw the heartbroken expression on Curator Aoife's face.

"What are you doing here?"

At this moment, Bisca and Kylena, who were sent by the Smithsonian Museum, walked over from a distance, followed by Gordon and Bullock.

Barbara next to her explained the entire situation to several people, and then said: "The matter of melting the ice to identify the diamonds can be postponed, but I suggest that it is best to conduct a thorough search of the exhibition hall."

"As expected, Phantom Thief Kidd will wait until Easter to show up as promised. He probably won't do anything to the diamonds before then, but he will most likely set up hidden mechanisms in the exhibition hall to prepare for his theft plan. "

Speaking of this, a light flashed in Barbara's eyes, "The previous operations to capture Kaitou Kidd always failed. To a large extent, it was not clear when he set up the trap at the scene. I didn't expect that Kaitou Kidd would actually do it this time." Flaws were exposed.”

In Gordon's opinion, the safest way is to have the diamond appraised immediately. If the appraisal result is true, cancel the exhibition on the spot, and then ask Bisca to quickly take the diamond back to the Smithsonian Museum.

Unfortunately, the police were only responsible for security work, and Gordon had no right to dictate how the exhibition should be arranged. At this time, Director Aoife's attitude was very firm, and he didn't say much.

As for the large-scale search proposed by his daughter, Gordon was extremely in favor of it, not to mention Bisca and Bullock.

Even Director Aoife couldn't say anything against it.

Only Kylena, after hearing that the exhibition hall was to be searched thoroughly, her pupils shrank suddenly...

The independent exhibition hall of 'Hope Blue Diamond' is not large, and the search inside was completed quickly.

You wouldn't know it if you didn't search it. Once you search it, you'll be surprised to find that there are actually a lot of traps hidden inside.

The first thing that bore the brunt was a piece of floor in the corner. There was a secret passage underneath that led to an unknown place!

There is also a secret compartment hidden in the wardrobe where the thermal clothes are placed. The secret compartment turns out to be a gas mask. It is obviously for the door that automatically closes after triggering the alarm and the hypnotic gas that is automatically sprayed out.

What's more, in all the equipment in the exhibition hall, there are one or two strange parts more or less hidden, which do not affect the work of the equipment at all. It is almost difficult to find the problem during normal maintenance work.
