Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Gordon stood up from the flower bed in a hurry and even accidentally dropped the newly lit cigarette to the ground.

"You mean that during the two hours when the security guard was unconscious, Kaitou Kidd pretended to be him and moved around the museum, and even colleagues who had known him for a long time did not recognize him?"

Gordon asked with a solemn expression.

Indeed, if Kaitou Kidd had this ability, it would explain why they couldn't find any clues.

It's not that the surveillance camera didn't capture Phantom Thief Kidd, it's that it's not possible to determine which of the people captured is Phantom Thief Kidd.

Bullock glanced at the cigarette on the ground with pity, then turned around and said: "Jim, do you remember the four police officers who were responsible for guarding the gems before? They said that you personally asked them to transfer their posts."

Hearing Bullock mention this matter, Gordon immediately understood.

"They didn't lie, but what they saw was not me, but Kaitou Kid pretending to be me!"

"With the information currently available, we can only draw this conclusion."

Bullock concluded.

"I'm afraid ordinary disguise techniques can't achieve this effect."

Gordon pondered for a moment and said, "This reminds me of the guy in Arkham."

"Clayface, do you think Kaitou Kidd may be related to him?"

Bullock's face suddenly became serious, but no one who might be related to that group of lunatics was easy to deal with.

"I can't tell yet. I have to go to Arkham Asylum to talk to Clayface."

Gordon set tomorrow's schedule on the spot.

"There shouldn't be anything found in the museum. Let's close the team."

With that said, the two gathered their men together and left the museum.

The next day, a piece of news caused a sensation among all Gotham citizens.

"Shocked! The GCPD and Robin teamed up to lose to a thief?"

This article occupies the entire front page of Gotham Gazette, detailing the crime process of Phantom Thief Kidd yesterday.

A large close-up photo was also published in the newspaper. It was the scene where Kaito Kidd was illuminated by the spotlight when he first appeared in the exhibition hall.

That white dress, that elegant demeanor, that slender figure, that monocle full of mysterious reflections...

It reveals a strange charm that makes people think that Kaitou Kidd must be handsome even though his face cannot be seen clearly.

"Which photographer took this photo? It's a very good photographer. It captured almost one-tenth of my charm."

In the fourth-grade classroom at Gotham High School, sitting in the window seat in the second-to-last row, Dean thought shamelessly while reading the newspaper he just bought today.

Dean looked at the signature of the report. It was a female reporter named Vicki Weir.

"Vicky Vale seems to be quite famous in Gotham. It is said that she is having an affair with billionaire Bruce Wayne?"

Dean's eyes rolled, and an idea came to his mind.

"I was originally thinking about a better way to return the gems. Maybe this is a good choice..."

In the classroom, apart from Dean, there was obviously more than one student who was interested in Kaitou Kidd.

The buzz about Kidd kept ringing in Dean's ears.

"Have you seen the news today? There's a new super criminal in Gotham!"

"Of course, the GCPD and the media call him 'Kid the Phantom Thief'. It's a bit weird, but it's much better than 'Two-Face' or something like that."

Some people have heard of it, and naturally some people have not.

"What Phantom Thief? What are you talking about?"

A classmate who obviously doesn't like to watch the news asked confusedly as he couldn't understand the heated discussions around him.

The classmate sitting next to him rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother, you really need to get in touch with this society to avoid being derailed by the times."

"We are talking about a super criminal named Kaito Kidd who stole the 'Angel's Blood Tears' ruby ​​from the Gotham Museum of Art yesterday. He stole it while the GCPD and Robin were present at the same time!"

"GCPD? It's not surprising that the gem was stolen, but then again, it's not easy for Kaitou Kidd to successfully steal the gem in front of Robin and escape unscathed."

"What's even more complicated is that Kaitou Kidd is different from other thieves. It is said that he sent a warning letter to the museum and the police several days before committing the crime. He even stated the time, place and method."

"Ah? Then didn't the police know in advance that he was going to steal something? They could have set up a special trap."

"That is to say, in the end, Kaitou Kidd can successfully steal the gems."

"I really don't know if it's Kaitou Kidd who's too powerful, or if the GCPD is too incompetent..."

Students who didn’t watch the news couldn’t help but complain.

"This is Gotham, just get used to it."

The male students had a lively discussion about Kaitou Kidd, and the female students did not show any weakness at all.

Compared to boys, who pay more attention to Kaitou Kid's abilities, girls focus on his appearance and charm.

Who can resist a handsome guy who is full of mystery?

"Humph!"

Just as Dean was listening to the discussions of the classmates around him with great interest and feeling secretly happy in his heart, a cold snort came from behind him.

"Hey, Master Dick, what's going on? Who made you angry?"

Dean turned around and said with a playful smile.

I saw a black-haired boy of similar age sitting behind Dean, named Richard Grayson. The two had been friends since they were in high school.

Dick is Richard's nickname and is also his most commonly used name. He also introduces himself to others as Dick Grayson.

They have a lot in common, their age, height, eye color are very close, and they even have the same origins as orphans.

It's just that Dick was adopted after his parents passed away, and the person who adopted him was the super rich Bruce Wayne.

Yes, it's the legendary Batman.

Dean had little contact with DC comics in his previous life, but he still knew that Batman called Bruce Wayne.

So based on Bruce's identity, it's obvious who Dick is.

Batman's partner, Robin, is the right age and figure, so it's most likely him.

Of course, Dean kept this to himself, and Dick didn't know that the former knew his secret.

When Dick snorted just now, he probably thought of his failure to catch Kaitou Kidd last night, and he felt unhappy.

"Go on, Dick, tell me what makes you unhappy and make me happy."

Dean raised the corners of his mouth and said to Dick with a wicked smile.

"Hey! We are friends. Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you take advantage of me like this?"

Dick responded with a straight face.

"Just because we are friends, that's why I want to know what's on your mind, because maybe you need my psychological counseling. You know, I have taken psychology courses."

Dean's face suddenly straightened up, he stared at Dick and said seriously.

"Ha! Yeah, child clinical psychology - don't you think you're funny?"

Dick crossed his arms and twitched the corners of his mouth.
