Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

The ball of paper turned out to be a message from Kaitou Kidd!

Vicki was horrified. She remembered clearly that before North poured the cup of coffee and put it on the table, there was nothing there.

Without any time to think, Vicky immediately rushed out of the office door, looking for North's back.

At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind, "If I could directly interview Kaitou Kidd himself, wouldn't it..."

Unfortunately, there were many people coming and going in the corridor, but there was no one she was looking for.

Vicky thought for a while, then came to the front desk of the floor and asked, "Lily, have you met North?"

The receptionist looked at Vicky in surprise and asked, "Vell, do you know where North's badge is?"

"Work badge?"

Vicky didn't react for a moment.

"Yeah, North just called me and said that he was stopped by the security check at the door because he found that his badge was missing."

The front desk lady said so.

"Wait, let me find out first. North is now blocked outside the company gate, and he has lost his work badge?"

Vicky asked with a strange look in her eyes.

"I remember seeing him when I clocked in this morning. Isn't he always in the company?"

"Oh, by the way, you don't know about this. North went to the coffee shop downstairs half an hour ago to buy coffee. I heard that he bought it especially for you. His work badge should have been lost there, but he He said he searched all over the coffee shop but couldn’t find his work badge.”

The lady at the front desk tilted her head and thought for a while.

"So North had to ask me for help and asked me to call security to let him in."

At this point, the lady at the front desk suddenly frowned and said as if reminiscing.

"But there's something strange. Just now I seemed to see a man who looked very similar to North walk in. He also had coffee in his hand. I thought he was back, but it turned out not to be the case. Maybe it was me. That’s wrong.”

"Stop, that's the guy!"

Vicky suddenly interrupted her recollection and asked hurriedly: "Have you seen this person who looks like North leave?"

"No."

The front desk lady said with great certainty, "I'm pretty sure that person hasn't left yet, provided I saw his appearance correctly."

After hearing these words, Vicky knew that she would never be able to catch up with Kaitou Kidd.

At this moment, she remembered the coffee Kaitou Kidd had brought in and the contents on the note, so she thanked the receptionist and immediately returned to her office.

As soon as she entered the door, Vicky picked up the pot of coffee and ran to the sink, pouring the coffee in the pot little by little.

As the dark coffee is poured from the pot, the full picture is revealed in the transparent coffee pot.

I saw a teardrop-like bright ruby ​​being wrapped in a sealed film and lying quietly at the bottom of the pot.

The gems are fixed on the bottom with a sticky material, so even if the glass pot is turned upside down, it will not fall, thus preventing the gems from being accidentally poured out when pouring coffee.

"This is...the blood and tears of an angel!"

Vicky looked at the gem that appeared at the bottom of the glass pot in surprise. She did not doubt whether Kaitou Kidd had made a fake one and put it in it.

Because that makes absolutely no sense.

"He actually gave me such a precious gem? Why?"

Vicky couldn't understand the situation at all.

Kaitou Kidd sent warning letters to the police and the media. He went through so much trouble to steal this gem, only to end up not wanting it anymore?

It can't be that Kaitou Kidd suddenly realized his conscience and felt that he shouldn't infringe on other people's property and wanted to send it back, right?

Then he should be sent directly to the GCPD or museum!

What's the point of giving such a hot potato to a young reporter?

Suddenly, she remembered Kaitou Kidd's note again.

"Could it be...because of my report?"

Vicki thought incredulously.

She tried to understand the reason why Kaitou Kidd did this, but after thinking for a long time, she still had no result.

You never quite figure out why Gotham's criminals do what they do.

At this moment, Vicky realized this sentence deeply.

She stopped thinking and took out her cell phone to make a call.

"Hello, GCPD? I'm Vicky Vale from Gotham Gazette. I have an important case that I need to reveal to Director James Gordon..."

-

There is an island called Arkham in Gotham, which is shrouded in dark clouds all year round. There is a hospital on the island that is heavily blocked by an electric railway network and looks eerie.

This is the world-famous Arkham Asylum, a place with outstanding people. The patients receiving treatment are all rare high-level geniuses in the world, who speak well and have outstanding abilities.

It's a pity that their ideas are too advanced, not bound by law and ethics, and cannot be tolerated by the world. In the end, they had to be imprisoned in this hospital...

In simple terms, it is a prison specifically designed to house mentally ill criminals.

At this time, a man wearing an khaki trench coat with gray hair and beard walked out of the heavy iron door of Arkham Asylum.

It was Jim Gordon, the chief of the GCPD. There was already a police car parked at the entrance of the lunatic asylum. Gordon got in the car directly after he came out.

"how is the situation?"

Brock asked from the driver's seat.

"Clayface has nothing to do with Kaitou Kidd."

Gordon shook his head.

Brock raised his eyebrows, "Are you so sure?"

"I wasn't sure, so I double-checked it many times and used some tricks."

Gordon said blankly.

"Well, I don't want to know at all what method you used to force him to question him."

Bullock changed the subject, "While you were going in to chat with your old friends, the GCPD received a report from Vicki Vale, and it was related to Kaitou Kidd."

"Isn't Vicki Vale a reporter from Gotham Gazette? Did Kidd commit another crime?"

Gordon asked quickly.

"It's almost the same, but there's a little difference - he gave the stone back."

"What did you say?"

Gordon suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"I said that Kaitou Kidd gave the Angel's Blood and Tear Ruby to Vicky Vale, and then Vicky Vale reported the case to the GCPD."

"Go to Gotham Gazette, now!"

Gordon immediately urged Bullock to start the car.

"Don't be impulsive, Jim. She has arrived at the GCPD and is waiting for us to go back."

Brock smiled calmly.

At the same time, in a sparsely populated street near the Gotham Gazette Building.

Dean, wearing a Gotham Gazette uniform, walked out of a dim alley, and could vaguely see three or four people behind him.

"When will there be less gangsters in Gotham's alleys?"

Dean dusted himself off and shook his head helplessly.

Not long ago, he slipped out of the Gotham Gazette Building. He originally planned to find a location where he could avoid surveillance, change his clothes and leave, but he ran into some robbers.
