Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

The 'Hope Blue Diamond' is such a famous gem, how could Kaitou Kidd miss it?

After seeing the news that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition would be re-organized, Dean had already set it as his next action goal.

If you can successfully steal this world-famous diamond, you will definitely earn more exclamation points.

"There is still half a month to prepare the plan, and there is still plenty of time."

Dean touched his chin and thought to himself.

"Speaking of which, why was the Hope Blue Diamond Exhibition re-organized? Is it really just because we just found a venue now?"

"The Orpheum Jewelry Exhibition Hall is not very large in scale, and its operating conditions have always been tepid. What capital do they have to dare to undertake the exhibition of 'Hope Blue Diamond'? And why does the Smithsonian Museum put 'Hope Blue Diamond' in the exhibition hall?" Put Blue Diamond on display in Gotham?"

"Hmm... I always feel like something is not quite right."

Although Dean is a little concerned about the resumption of the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition, he has no intention of giving up.

What's more, he had wanted to see this diamond up close for a long time.

In Dean's previous life, there was also a 'Hope Blue Diamond', which was also world-famous and was also collected in the Smithsonian Museum.

Naturally, the two also share the same legend of doom.

For centuries before it was donated to the Smithsonian Institution, the 'Hope Blue Diamond' continued to be circulated in the hands of wealthy people around the world, and those who owned this diamond were without exception, ranging from princes to nobles. All the wealthy businessmen died unexpectedly.

It seems to carry some kind of death curse.

Such bizarre past legends made the 'Hope Blue Diamond's reputation grow day by day until it became the most famous ominous gemstone on earth.

Of course, Dean knew very well that the diamond in his previous life had no death curse at all, and the legend of doom was just pure hype.

But the world is different now. Magic does exist in the DC universe.

The dragon egg ruby ​​necklace that was the target last time was a treasure that contained magical power.

Therefore, Dean thinks it is really hard to say whether the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in the DC world will bring death or misfortune to people.

Anyway, when it comes to such rumors, Dean has always had an attitude of preferring to believe them over others.

It can be said that if there was no system to tell the truth, Dean would never have any idea about the 'Hope Blue Diamond'.

If you are not careful, you may fall under the inexplicable death curse.

That is a curse, something invisible and intangible. When the time comes, you will really die without knowing how.

"Let's go to the Orpheus Jewelry Exhibition Hall first. That place is not far from here. It can be reached in about half an hour's walk."

After making up his mind, Dean dressed up carefully and walked out of the house.

After a while, GCPD.

Director Aoife walked into the police station door worriedly.

"I want to see Commissioner Jim Gordon."

He came to the reception desk, identified himself, briefly explained his purpose, and then asked to meet Gordon.

After listening to Director Ao Fei's narration, the receptionist's face instantly became serious, and he quickly called the director's office to report.

Director Aoife went to the interview room to wait.

After a while, Gordon and Bullock walked in.

"You are Danilo Offi, and you run a museum now, right?"

Bullock asked first.

"I heard that the Smithsonian Museum loaned the 'Hope Blue Diamond' to your exhibition hall."

Director Aoife first nodded and admitted that what Bullock said was true, then turned to look at Gordon and asked: "Hello, Director Gordon, may I ask who this is..."

Although Bullock has been working in the GCPD for more than ten years and has made great achievements and appeared on TV several times, his popularity among the citizens of Gotham is obviously far from being on the news every two days. Compared to Gordon.

"He is Sheriff Harvey Bullock, my most trusted partner. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly without any worries."

Gordon introduces Bullock Road to Curator Offee.

"Okay, Commissioner Gordon and Chief Bullock, just over an hour ago today..."

Curator Offee began to tell the full story of what happened not long ago.

"So, what you are saying is that someone pretended to be a staff member of the Smithsonian Museum and saw all your arrangements in the exhibition hall on the pretext of checking the security measures of the 'Hope Blue Diamond'?"

After Curator Offee finished speaking, Gordon frowned and asked.

"I really don't understand how you do things! You dare to take someone to visit the internal confidential facilities without verifying their identity in advance. No wonder your exhibition hall is always not big."

Brock on the side sneered.

"Harvey, don't say anything that has nothing to do with the investigation!"

Gordon gave him a sideways look and warned.

Curator Ao Fei opposite did not feel offended, but instead lowered his head in shame.

"Chief Bullock is right. It's all because I was too eager to cooperate with the Smithsonian Museum as soon as possible and too eager to get their approval, so I made such a stupid mistake."

"You don't have to blame yourself too much, Mr. Aoife. According to your description, the appearance and voice of the pretender are very similar to that of the real staff member. He is obviously proficient in the art of disguise. There is nothing wrong with being deceived in this case."

Gordon turned around to comfort Curator Aoife.

"Director Aoife, let me confirm again. Considering that the pretender is proficient in the art of disguise and the reason for the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition, you suspect that the person is probably Kaitou Kidd, but you have not received his usual notice. Letter, right?"

"Yes, I searched all the locations I could find, but I didn't find any notices, nor did I lose any items."

Gordon and Bullock looked at each other and saw suspicion in each other's eyes.

Kaitou Kidd is proficient in the art of disguise, and he likes to pick gems to start with. It is normal to target the 'Hope Blue Diamond', and it is reasonable for Curator Aoife to suspect him.

But judging from Kaitou Kidd's habit of committing crimes in the past, he will definitely send out corresponding notice letters in advance, especially if he is disguised as a candidate whose true identity can easily be revealed, it is unlikely that all of them will be seen. No notice has been issued yet.

Unless... Kaitou Kidd gave up on the 'Blue Diamond of Hope', and the security measures during the visit to the exhibition hall made him retreat and cancel his action plan?

Gordon and Bullock were deeply skeptical about this.

Is there a possibility that the person posing as a Smithsonian museum employee is not Kaitou Kidd?

The two fell into deep thought.

"Sir, something happened!"

At this moment, the door of the interview room was suddenly pushed open, and a young police officer ran over in a panic, holding a piece of paper that had just been printed by the fax machine.

"Kaitou Kidd sent another warning letter!"

After hearing the police officer's report, Gordon stood up and grabbed the paper from the police officer's hand.

Sure enough, there was a notice letter from Kaitou Kidd written on it.

"On the first day when the emperor holds the scepter,

The wheel of fate is about to rotate for two cycles,

The silver-winged magician obeys the call of the priestess,

Arrive at the pinnacle,

Admire the beautiful blue hope,

Yours sincerely, Kaitou Kidd"

(Alas, I really can’t think of anything better than the last one, but it has been updated to this plot. I have no choice but to make do with it. Please bear with me, brothers)
