Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Penguin looked deeply at O'Kilwe, who said there were no obvious loopholes.

And Luck has indeed expressed his disdain for Okierwei many times, and Okierwei's concerns are not unreasonable.

"Hmph! It seems that everyone has almost forgotten whose city Gotham is, and someone actually dares to destroy my business..."

Penguin snorted and made a call on the spot.

"Issuing a reward, whoever can kill Kaitou Kidd will receive half a million dollars!"

Half a million may sound small, but for Gotham's killers, this is definitely a rare and large deal.

For no other reason than because human life is so worthless in Gotham.

It only costs 10,000 U.S. dollars to kill an adult male, 20,000 U.S. dollars for an adult woman, and 30,000 U.S. dollars for a minor. These are the common prices for professional killers. Some professional killers offer even lower prices than this in order to attract more business.

Find a random homeless guy on the side of the road, hand him twenty dollars, and you can get him to stab anyone on the street.

Chapter 36 Batgirl

Meanwhile, beneath Wayne Manor, in the Batcave.

Dick walked in with Alfred through the secret entrance carrying a handbag, but suddenly found that someone was already in the Batcave.

However, this man was not tall, or even a man.

Obviously, it's not Batman who's back.

I saw a red-haired girl wearing a bat helmet, a black tight-fitting uniform with a bat logo painted on her chest, and a bumpy figure, sitting in front of a huge bat computer, looking up some information.

To a certain extent, this girl is more like Batman's partner than Robin, who is all red, green and yellow.

She is the new street hero who emerged in Gotham just a few months ago, the fourth figure in the Bat family, Batgirl.

In fact, she didn't like the nickname very much at first. She would rather be called Batwoman than Batgirl, even though she just turned eighteen two months ago.

But for some reason, when she first appeared in newspapers, the media described her as Batgirl.

"Hi! Alfred, and Elf Boots, you are back."

Seeing Alfred and Dick back, Batgirl greeted them.

"Hey! We agreed not to call me 'Elf Boots' anymore."

Dick was very dissatisfied with the title of Bat Girl and curled his lips.

"Really? I don't remember ever 'promising' it to anyone. Maybe I'll think about it when you change out of those childish green boots."

The bat girl spread her hands and smiled teasingly.

"People in the circus wear these boots and I'm not going to replace them... OK, the shape is a little funny, but that's the beauty of it."

Dick raised his eyebrows and said.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Gordon."

Alfred said to Batgirl with a smile.

If the GCPD hears this claim, they will definitely look at Batgirl carefully, because their beloved director's surname is Gordon.

Moreover, Gordon also has a daughter who has just turned eighteen, the same age as Batgirl.

That's right, Batgirl's true identity is Barbara Gordon, the daughter of the GCPD director.

"It seems that you two are very busy today. Do you want to have some midnight snacks?"

Looking at the dense file records in the Bat Computer in front of Bat Girl, it was obvious that she would have to work for a long time, so Alfred suggested.

"Thank you so much, Afu, because of some bastard, I didn't even have time to eat dinner, and now I'm starving to death."

Batgirl showed a surprised expression on her face and said gratefully.

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

Alfred turned and walked to the kitchen to prepare some meals and coffee for Batgirl and Dick.

Dick took his handbag to a wall in the corner, where a huge cabinet was placed against the wall. The cabinet was divided into hundreds of small boxes, each of which was blocked by ultra-high-strength glass.

Most of the cabinets were filled with items, all of them strange things.

Such as Two-Face's coin, The Riddler's cane, Killer Croc's teeth, Scarecrow's mask, Harley Quinn's baseball bat...

These are the trophies that Batman and Robin collected from various enemies. Most of them are due to some unspeakable collecting habit. There are also a small number of special items that are more dangerous and are placed in the GCPD evidence room. Batman I was worried so I took it back and kept it myself.

Dick took out a white cloak from his handbag and put it into an empty box in the cabinet.

Bat Girl noticed his movements and asked curiously: "I heard that you have been having a heated fight with that Kaitou boy who is in the spotlight recently. Is this his cloak?"

"What kind of strange word did you use?"

Dick couldn't help but complain.

"I just heard from Alfred that you seem to have a pretty good impression of Kaito Kidd. Aren't you afraid that Batman will be angry if he finds out?"

Batgirl shrugged, "You know he never likes us to evaluate criminals with personal emotions."

"Ha!" Dick let out a weird laugh and said, "Before I learned about the story between him and Catwoman, I still believed in this sentence."

Hearing this, Bat Girl was also happy, "You know what? I completely agree with your point of view, but -"

Batgirl changed the subject and said, "I can actually understand why Bruce is always soft-hearted towards Catwoman, especially after I met her once, wow, she is a super hot beauty! As for the Phantom Thieves Virtue..."

The more Dick listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and said with a straight face: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting, I was just wondering, if I told your girlfriend in Titan Tower about this, would she believe it?"

Batgirl chuckled, and what she said made Dick's eyelids twitch wildly.

"It's just a joke, don't take it so seriously."

Batgirl was very satisfied with the expression on Dick's face and waved her hand at him.

"Speaking of which, did you run into some troublesome people today? Do you need my help?"

Dick suddenly asked.

"No, I can handle it myself. Come to think of it, I'm worried about whether you need me to help you deal with Kaitou Kidd."

Batgirl turned to look at the Batcomputer and said with her back to Dick.

"You have met him twice, and you haven't even gotten any useful information. His real name, age, appearance, job, and life experience are all blank. One such criminal file in the Batcomputer is enough. That’s enough, no need for a second copy.”

"That's because you haven't personally fought against Kaitou Kidd! If you had, you would know how difficult that guy is to deal with."

Dick crossed his arms and looked serious, saying: "He is very smart. Maybe his wisdom is not as scary as the Riddler, but he also doesn't have the Riddler's obsessive-compulsive disorder that likes to leave clues for the enemy. It is difficult to figure out Kaitou Kidd's action plan." .”

"Also, Kaito Kidd is very good at disguising himself. If I hadn't seen him tear off Greytard Ethan's disguise mask with my own eyes, I would have even thought that he must have the super power to change his appearance like Clayface."

"But Kaitou Kid's acting skills are far better than Clayface. Unless you are familiar with every small detail and can see the flaws, it is impossible to directly identify his disguise."

"Kaitan Kidd is very cautious and knows the police layout and surveillance system very well. He leaves no trace behind. He can even avoid all surrounding surveillance."

"The only clue is that Kaito Kid's true identity may be a magician, but there are so many magicians in Gotham that we don't even know Kaito Kid's age, so we can't pinpoint the target at all."

Having said this, Dick couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "I once asked a professional, hoping to use magic skills to identify the suspects of Kaitou Kidd, and then got twenty candidates, but after investigating one by one, I found that none of them were Maybe Kaitou Kidd.”

Batgirl gradually became interested as she listened to Dick's description.

"Is this Kaitou Kid really as difficult to deal with as you say?"

Chapter 37: Encounter in the Library

"Trust me, if you've ever met Kaitou Kidd once, you'll know I'm not exaggerating."

Dick said to Batgirl seriously.

"Are you sure...you can do it alone? You don't need my help?"

Batgirl asked, looking at Dick with inquiring eyes.

"I said I don't need your help. Can you please leave Kaitou Kidd alone for now? What are you checking now?"

Dick began to change the subject. He walked next to Batgirl and looked at the huge display screen of the Batcomputer.

"Let me see, Garfield Lynn... Firefly?"

Dick asked in surprise when he saw the name displayed in the bat file.

"Yeah, remember the last time he and that stupid moth killer set fire to the GCPD headquarters building? It was me who defeated them both, but in the end the newspaper said it was you and Batman who did it."

Hearing this, Dick smiled awkwardly and said, "Well... you know that in our industry, we shouldn't be greedy for fame and credit. As long as the bad guy fails, it will be the same for everyone, right?"

In fact, this matter cannot be regarded as the credit of Dick and Batman robbing Bat Girl. Although Killer Moth and Firefly had been subdued by Bat Girl when they arrived, Bat Girl's own condition was not much better at that time, so they killed the killer. The task of escorting Moth and Firefly to the police fell to Batman.

Since there were no bystanders in the entire battle venue and process, in the eyes of the police and the media, they only saw Batman and Robin, and had no idea that Batgirl had contributed. With Batman's character, he could not Go out of your way to tell others who actually caught the criminal.

"It's up to you." Bat Girl said nonchalantly.

"Ahem," Dick coughed twice and asked strangely: "After that incident, wasn't Firefly and Killer Moth imprisoned in Arkham Asylum? Why did you start looking through the old files again?"

"A few weeks ago, a district attorney proposed to re-open the GCPD arson case. He believed that the mental symptoms of Firefly and Killer Moth were mild and even unclear, and they were suspected of falsifying mental evaluations, so he planned to transfer the two of them. Go to Blackgate Prison to serve your sentence.”

Batgirl explained.

"That doesn't sound like a bad thing."

"I thought the same thing as you at first, until yesterday I learned a piece of bad news that couldn't be worse - Firefly has escaped from prison!"

Dick frowned tightly, "How did he escape from prison? Where is Killer Moth?"

"Who knows? A prison guard discovered that Firefly suddenly disappeared during his inspection in the morning. No one noticed any warning, and no record was left in the surveillance. As for Killer Moth, he is still in prison. Maybe Firefly broke up with him. .”

The bat girl spread her hands and said helplessly.

"I have been tracking Firefly since I heard about this incident. I hacked into Gotham's surveillance system and found that he appeared in more than 30 locations. I have been checking these locations all day today. As a result, on the way I beat a lot of robbers and thieves, but I couldn’t find the fireflies.”

"So I plan to come back and check the bat file to see if I can deduce the place where Firefly is most likely to go from his past experiences. You have to know that the information in the Batcomputer is much more detailed than the GCPD database."

Dick nodded and suggested: "I can help you share some of the burden..."

"In fact, you can't, Master Richard."

At this time, Alfred came over with two plates of chicken sandwiches and two cups of coffee and interrupted.

"Please forgive me for having to remind you that you haven't finished your homework for today."

"Afu is right. Little boys who are still in school should finish their homework obediently, otherwise Bruce will come back and spank you."

Batgirl said with a sly smile.

"If you encounter a problem that you don't know how to solve, just come to me."

Dick rolled his eyes at her and made no rebuttal, because he knew that he really couldn't compare to the girl in front of him in terms of study.

Sixteen-year-old Dick is still in his senior year at Gotham High School, waiting to take the ACT or SAT this year, while the eighteen-year-old Bat Girl graduated from Gotham University half a year ago with a degree in library management. Ph.D.

Grabbing a sandwich and stuffing it into his mouth, Dick ran to the side to finish his homework, while Batgirl continued her task.

After a long time, Bat Girl read all the file records, stretched out and stood up from the chair, turned around and walked towards the garage of the Batcave.

"I'm going back now. See you tomorrow. Ah Fu still has elf boots."

Batgirl rode a Batmobile, said goodbye to Alfred and Dick, and left the Batcave.

Silent all night.

The next day, Sunday.

Sarston Mansion, Burnley District, Gotham.

When Dean woke up and got up from bed, it was already half past nine.

After washing up, I had a simple breakfast and went out.

Dean has a ten or even nine important project to complete today, so he plans to go to the Gotham City Library.

Of course, I don’t go there to look up information just to do my homework.

Although Dean also has the same coursework as Dick, and he hasn't moved a word now, he doesn't feel panic at all.

I remember when he was in school in his previous life, he could complete his summer homework in one night with only one pen and one person. Dean didn't even pay attention to this mere weekend homework.

The reason why he went to the library was actually to prepare for the new notice letter.

It must be said that writing this notice letter is really too brain-consuming. The explanation should not be too straightforward, it should be a little circuitous, but it should not be too far-fetched.
