Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Hi! Richard, and Dean."

At this time, a clear female voice sounded from the side.

Barbara came over and greeted the two of them.

"Dick said before that he has a friend who is very popular in the GCPD. I should have thought it was you, Miss Gordon."

Dean smiled politely.

"You arrived one minute and twenty-three seconds later than expected, Barbara."

Dick looked at his watch and said seriously.

"Look at how people behave, that's why you'll never be as popular as Dean."

Barbara snorted slightly and then explained.

"There is a reason why I am late. I just saw my dad talking to a group of out-of-towners. They seemed to be talking about the adjustment of security positions after the official exhibition begins."

"Wow, are you sure this is news I can hear?"

Dean exaggerated.

"You two are the daughter of the police chief and the eldest son of the Wayne family. It's normal for you to know some secrets. I, a member of a small family, shouldn't I avoid it?"

Dick couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "The cold joke you told is not funny at all, it's not even cold."

"Don't forget who we are today. We are police detectives, and our only goal is to investigate Kaito Kidd."

"You're pretty into it," Dean complained.

"I'm really curious about something, Miss Gordon, why do you want to play police and thief games with this guy?"

Dean turned to Barbara, pointed at Dick and asked.

"Just call me Barbara, Dean. It doesn't have to be formal all the time."

Barbara first corrected the title, and then replied: "This kid said he wanted to be a policeman. This reminds me of myself in the past. If it weren't for my father's overprotection of me, maybe I would be a female police officer now. ...Of course, the possibility of being blown up in a corner may be greater."

"Since he has the idea of ​​becoming a police officer and plans to pursue this idea, why don't I help him, even if it's just to play a game."

Well, they came up with a barely plausible excuse to make Dean, an ordinary person, believe that they were really just doing it for Dick's dream of being a police officer.

Dean actually knew that Dick and Barbara wanted to use their magic abilities to see if they could restrain Kaitou Kidd in this regard.

But at the same time, they must ensure that Dean will not associate their secret identities, and use various reasons to evade Dean's suspicions.

Even Dean began to wonder how Dick and Barbara would disappear naturally when Robin and Batgirl appeared.

It can be said that the degree of hard work of both parties in certain aspects is actually highly consistent.

"...Actually, I came here today to do something else."

Suddenly, Barbara turned to look at Dean and said solemnly: "That's just to see you!"

There was a deep apology in her eyes, and it could be seen that it came from the bottom of her heart.

"When we met in the library before, I forced you to eat cheese beef rolls in order to prevent the cafeteria from changing the recipe. I actually always wanted to apologize to you."

Dean knew that was not what Barbara was talking about, but he couldn't make it too clear.

So, he decided to pretend to be dumbfounded.

"Ah? Oh! I remembered it. It did happen. If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it. Hey! What a big deal. That cheese and beef roll is not terrible."

"Ahem! Barbara, let's get down to business first. What happened to the security position adjustment?"

Dick next to him coughed twice, interrupting the awkward performance between the two.

"I'm not sure exactly. I just happened to overhear a word or two after passing by them."

Barbara looked serious and said, "What is certain is that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' will not be exhibited in any public exhibition hall, but will be displayed in a separate exhibition hall."

"It is said that this independent exhibition hall was specially built for the 'Hope Blue Diamond' by Director Ao Fei at a large cost and is equipped with the most advanced civilian security system."

"Where is this exhibition hall?"

Dick asked quickly.

"They were going that way at that time. If I remember correctly, they were in that direction."

Barbara led the way and Shuangdi followed.

"Except for the independent exhibition hall of 'Hope Blue Diamond', the entire exhibition hall has been more or less upgraded."

As they walked, Barbara introduced.

"For example, the glass windows that were originally very ordinary have now been replaced with high-strength glass materials that are fire-proof, explosion-proof, and high-temperature resistant, which is far stronger than commonly used bullet-proof glass. In addition, almost every high-value collection is equipped with a highly sensitive gravity The sensor alarm will trigger an alarm once it detects a change in gravity of a few grams, and then the doors of all exhibition halls will automatically close instantly, and the strength of these doors is made in accordance with air-raid shelter standards."

"And in order to avoid power outages caused by damage to the power supply, all those here that can be equipped with backup power supplies will have additional backup power supplies, and those that cannot will prepare two power supply lines that do not interfere with each other. Just cutting off one will not achieve the effect of a power outage."

Good guy, the protection work of the regular public exhibition hall has reached this stage, and the 'Hope Blue Diamond' that can enjoy the independent exhibition hall must be even more terrifying.

This is definitely a serious challenge.

Dean thought to himself.

Not long after, the three of them came to an exhibition hall that was obviously isolated from other exhibition halls.

More than a dozen police officers gathered around the exhibition hall, preventing anyone from getting close to the door.

Seeing this battle, they knew they were in the right place.

This exhibition hall is very small, less than ten square meters. After all, it only needs to house the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibit.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the space is a bit too big.

"Barbara?"

Bullock, who was guarding the door as always, had sharp eyes and suddenly saw the three Barbaras across the corridor.

"And Dick and...that Thaston kid?"

Bullock came over and said to the three of them: "Hey! Children, the area behind this is not yet open to the public. You should visit other places."

"Uncle Bullock, are my dad and the person in charge sent by the Smithsonian Museum to hand over the 'Hope Blue Diamond' all in there?"

Barbara glanced at the door of the independent exhibition hall at the back and asked.

Upon hearing Barbara's words, Bullock suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"What do you want to do this time, Barbara?"

Bullock warned: "Don't forget, Jim said that the time at the Natural History Museum was the first and last time he agreed to your participation in the GCPD's work against Kaito Kidd."

"What's more, you are bringing two minors with you this time. If you don't want to see your father go crazy, then go home quickly."

"So has anyone of you unlocked Kaitou Kidd's warning letter now?"

Barbara smiled and asked.

The reason why she and Dick unlocked the contents of the notice letter but did not tell the police was because of this.

Chapter 87 Diamonds Hidden in the Ice

"Don't tell me that you interpreted the contents of the notice letter again?"

Bullock looked at Barbara who was smiling confidently and asked with a complicated expression.

Last time, Barbara used the secret of the notice letter to negotiate with Gordon to get him to agree to her participation in the work.

You won't let her guess it again this time, right?

There are so many smart detectives in the GCPD, are they all inferior to a girl under twenty years old?

"To be precise, we solved it together."

Barbara replied with a natural expression, and her words seemed to include both Dean and Dick.

"Do you still have this ability?"

Brock glanced at Dick suspiciously.

He was not familiar with the talented magician from the Thaston family next to him, but he still knew about Dick.

The murder case of Dick's parents was investigated by him and Gordon together. Even the murderer Tony Zuko was imprisoned by Bullock himself, even though it was Batman and Robin who sent Tony Zuko over...

In short, Bullock is more or less an acquaintance of Dick. He heard that Dick had many girlfriends in school, like a playboy, almost like Bruce No. 2.

Although having more girlfriends is not a bad thing, but with Bruce's past experience, Bullock still can't connect Dick with the matter of "interpreting Kidd's notice letter".

"Is this surprising, Harvey? I'm going to be the best cop in the world."

Dick snorted softly.

"Uncle Bullock, you'd better let us go to the exhibition hall to see my father quickly, otherwise we will leave now and you can slowly figure out how to unlock the notice letter."

Barbara crossed her arms and urged confidently.

"Chief Bullock, I am Dean Thaston. I have studied magic. I heard that Kaitou Kidd is also good at using magic to commit crimes. Maybe I can be of some help."

Dean also stood up.

"...Okay, okay, I admit defeat, come with me."

Bullock nodded helplessly and led the three of them towards the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition hall, sighing inwardly as they walked.

"Are all the kids in Gotham so awesome now?"

When he passed through the blockade and was about to arrive at the entrance of the exhibition hall, Dean glanced sideways at the guards around him.

This glance really made him realize that something was wrong. From the cuffs or collars of the outer layer of normal police uniforms, and the exposed corners of the inner clothing, he could see that these guards were all wearing down jackets at this time!

Is it that cold in April in Gotham?

Dean, who was only wearing a thin coat, wondered in his heart.

However, his doubts did not last long. The moment he approached the door of the exhibition hall, Dean suddenly felt a cold wind blowing from the door.

"Is there a refrigerator in here?"

Dean stared at the exhibition hall, lost in thought.

"Be careful, it's very cold inside."

Bullock reminded him, opened the curtain at the door and walked in.

Barbara and Dick exchanged vague glances, nodded to each other, and followed into the exhibition hall.

Dean followed.

As soon as he entered the exhibition hall, Dean felt only one feeling all over his body: cold.

It was as cold as walking into an ice cellar.

And he actually saw a piece of ice.

In this independent exhibition hall of about ten square meters, a huge ice cube more than three meters high stood in the center. Refrigerators were installed at several corners to keep the temperature in the exhibition hall at a very low range.

Although it is not as exaggerated as to drop to zero, it is completely enough to prevent the ice cubes from melting for a long time, at least to survive the daily exhibition time.

Although this piece of ice is very large, it has almost no impurities or air bubbles. It is crystal clear as a whole, and the transparency is so high that you can clearly see what is behind it through the ice.

And in the center of this piece of ice, there is a dazzling blue diamond frozen.

Needless to say, this is the only real owner in the exhibition hall - the legendary 'Hope Blue Diamond'.

Near the ice, four people were talking about something.

Three of them are Gordon, Director Aoife and Bisca from the Smithsonian Museum. The last one is a heroic woman with sunglasses on her face and smart and tight tactical clothing. Look at her appearance. He is a figure similar to a bodyguard.

This woman stood behind Bisca, opposite Gordon and Director Offee. She was probably from the Smithsonian Museum.

"Come on, put this on."

At this time, Dean suddenly heard Bullock's voice and turned around to see that Bullock had brought three sets of thermal clothing.

There are more thermal clothing placed in the cabinet behind Bullock, which seems to be specially prepared for visitors entering the exhibition hall.

After taking the clothes and putting them on outside, the cold feeling was quickly replaced by warmth.

"Harvey! What are you doing? It's not even opening time yet, who asked you to let people in?"

The exhibition hall was so small that four people walked in at once. As long as Gordon was not blind, it was impossible not to miss them. He immediately glared at Bullock and asked.

"Believe me, Jim, I don't want them in more than you do, but you have such a smart daughter."
