Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Before he entered, Dean heard a questioning voice coming from inside, which sounded like Kylena's voice.

"Add a container?"

Dean walked into the exhibition hall with doubts and found Curator Aoife, Bisca and Kylena inside.

Kylena was confronting Director Ao Fei with an angry look on her face, and Bisca was sandwiched between the two of them, with a look of helplessness on her face.

Dean immediately focused his attention on the ice cube in the center of the exhibition hall. The shape and size were not much different from yesterday, and the diamonds were still inside.

The biggest difference is that today's 'Hope Blue Diamond' in the ice is not directly frozen in, but sealed in a bluish transparent box and then frozen.

There are also strange symbols vaguely painted on this box.

This must be the "container" that Kylena just mentioned.

"I don't want to add additional containers, Miss Kylena, but you should have heard about what happened late last night, so I have to do this."

Facing Kylena's question, Director Ao Fei looked embarrassed.

"I will never let my employees suffer bad luck again!"

"It was just an accident! You don't really believe in the legend of the Doomed Diamond, do you? Although I work for the Smithsonian Museum, I still have to say that it is a complete marketing scam!"

Kylena argued rationally.

"And even if there is really a curse on diamonds, why do you think that something that is no different from a plastic box is useful? Just because it has symbols painted on it that no one can understand?"

"What happened late last night?"

Dean turned to Dick and asked.

"Someone died in a car accident. The employee who was responsible for freezing the diamonds into the ice yesterday."

As soon as he talked about this, Dick's face became serious.

Although the temperature in the exhibition hall is very low, it is still above the melting point of ice, so even an ice cube more than three meters high cannot melt all day long.

The exhibition is open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. During the thirteen hours of the exhibition, it is necessary to ensure that the ice that seals the 'Hope Blue Diamond' can always play a protective role.

Therefore, the exhibition hall is equipped with specialized staff to handle ice cubes. After closing at about 8 pm, the refrigerator is turned off to allow the ice cubes to melt naturally, the diamonds are taken out, and then it takes a whole night to refreeze new ice cubes. .

However, yesterday the employee was killed in a traffic accident on his way home from get off work after defrosting the ice and removing the diamonds.

Because there is nothing surprising in the accidental death in a car accident. Unexpected events happen in the sky.

But there is a crucial factor here, and that is the 'Hope Blue Diamond' - the notorious diamond of doom!

The employee died accidentally after coming into contact with the 'Hope Blue Diamond'. Combined with the terrifying legends about the 'Hope Blue Diamond', the staff in the exhibition hall naturally concluded that he died of a strange bad luck curse.

Ever since, Curator Aoife got a small box from nowhere and put the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in it, claiming that it could protect others from bad luck.

I don’t know if the box is so magical. Anyway, Director Ao Fei firmly believes that it is useful, and his confidence has infected all the employees, making them no longer panic.

However, Kylena, who had carefully designed everything in the exhibition hall, did not think so. Whether it was safety or practicality, she felt that no changes were needed in the exhibition hall.

In particular, Curator Aoife's small box is slightly blue. Although it is transparent, it will still affect the appearance of the diamond when viewed outside the ice. After all, the color of the diamond will be darker when viewed this way.

A knowledgeable person may even misunderstand that the diamonds inside are fake.

Kylena thinks this is unnecessary and goes against the original intention of the exhibition 'Blue Diamond of Hope'.

So the two started arguing.

Chapter 90 can’t be wrong! Kaitou Kidd is

"Dick, do you really believe diamonds can kill people?"

After listening to Dick tell the complete story, Dean's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

"To be honest, I don't believe it at all."

Dick said firmly without thinking.

"The 'Hope Blue Diamond' has been lying quietly in the Smithsonian Museum for decades, and has been loaned out and exhibited many times. I don't believe that no one has touched it for such a long time, but the fact is Since the 'Hope Blue Diamond' was donated to the Smithsonian Museum, there have been no fatalities until today."

"What's more, both Kylena and Bisca are here. Whether the bad luck curse of 'Hope Blue Diamond' is real or false marketing, no one knows better than the two of them."

"You're right. I don't really believe in such mythical legends. The employee's car accident was probably a real accident."

Dean nodded in agreement, but his heart became serious.

He is not as optimistic as Dick, and firmly believes that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' does not have the power of doom.

In fact, Dean had the mentality from the beginning that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' was a genuine diamond of doom. It was only because he had a system and could use various methods to avoid misfortune that he dared to think about the 'Hope Blue Diamond'. .

What really makes Dean feel something is wrong is Curator Offee's mysterious little box.

Why did the accident happen late last night, and why did Director Aoife come today with something to prevent the curse? Is this action a little too fast?

Where did he get that box? How did you get it? Why does he claim that this box can ward off bad luck?

If Director Ao Fei wanted to stabilize the mentality of the staff in the exhibition hall, he just took a transparent box to show off.

Although it was not impossible, Dean always felt that something was strange.

"Director Aoife, judging from his normal behavior, he seems to be a very kind person with no temper and is very kind to everyone. Now it seems that he may have some secrets hidden in him..."

Dean looked thoughtfully at Curator Aoife, who was confronting Kylena.

"Miss Kylena, no matter what you say today, I will not change my mind. Even if the bad luck you said does not exist, the matter has spread in the exhibition hall, and all the employees are afraid of the next one." They are the ones who encounter accidents, and I have to make them feel at ease.”

Director Ao Fei said to Kylena with a firm look.

"Perhaps the color of the box will indeed affect the perception of the diamond from the outside, and knowledgeable people will be dissatisfied. However, the exhibition is not aimed at knowledgeable people, but ordinary people who have never seen the 'Hope Blue Diamond'! "

"They don't care about the dark color of the diamond, or even whether the diamond inside is real or fake. They just want to see what the 'Hope Blue Diamond' that's all over the world looks like!"

“I don’t think adding a container outside the diamond defeats the purpose of the exhibition.”

At this time, Bisca stepped in and said: "I think Director Aoife's consideration is very reasonable. It is important for every visitor to see the complete details of the diamond, but the safety of people and the diamond itself is more important. Kailin Na, you don’t have to worry too much about this issue.”

"Then you can use a colorless transparent box as a container, why use a bluish one?"

Kylena accepted Bisca's persuasion and no longer resisted the existence of the box, but instead asked about the color.

"Because this is the only color available, do you think I don't want to use a colorless one?"

Curator Aoife asked rhetorically.

Kylena was at a loss for words, and finally agreed to Director Ao Fei's arrangement.

Anyway, the box and diamonds have been frozen into the ice cubes now, so it is impossible to melt the ice cubes now.

Dean and Dick, who had watched the whole dispute at the door, quietly left the exhibition hall and came to a deserted place.

"Hey, Dean."

Dick suddenly poked Dean's arm and asked, "Why do you think Miss Kylena is so opposed to putting diamonds in the box?"

"Didn't she say that? In order to show the diamond as perfectly as possible, she also said that the curse of bad luck is fake, and adding a box is purely unnecessary."

Dean replied without thinking.

"I don't think it's that simple."

Dick shook his head, "Kylena is a specially hired security expert. Her way of thinking can only be focused on protecting diamonds. The exhibition effect must be the lowest priority in her mind. Who should really worry about this? It’s Bisca.”

"But it turned out that Kylena said what Bisca should have said."

Hearing what Dick said, Dean suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes narrowed and he said, "You mean..."

"Yes, I suspect there is something wrong with Kylena's identity!"

Dick looked back at the exhibition hall and continued after confirming that no one inside noticed them: "Either Kylena is a fake identity, or someone is pretending to be Kylena."

"And the person pretending to be her is probably Kaitou Kidd!"

Dean was shocked, and then said righteously: "Kylena may be Kaitou Kidd? Then let's tell Director Gordon the news as soon as possible..."

"Wait! Don't talk yet!"

Dick quickly covered Dean's mouth.

"They're coming out."

I saw Kylena, Bisca and Director Ao Fei walking out of the exhibition hall.

Dick carefully watched the three people walking away before putting his hand down.

"We are just guessing now. There is no evidence to prove that Kylena was impersonated, so we can't tell Director Gordon yet. We have to collect evidence first."

"How to collect evidence?"

Dean asked brightly.

"Just do as I say, I have a task for you."

Dick whispered next to him: "I will give you a transmitter and a bug. You will find the right opportunity to put these on Kylena later."

"Don't worry about using these things. It's what we have to do to investigate the case."

"You are a master of magic with superb skills. I believe you are no worse than Kaitou Kidd."

Dick was so confident in himself, but Dean's face showed hesitation.

"What if she is discovered? If she is really Kaitou Kidd, wouldn't I be in danger?"

"Well... let me teach you a simple way. You can choose to do it in a crowded place. Even if she is discovered, she will not attack on the spot. When the time comes, you can just call for help from the guards present."

"Wow! You are so thoughtful, so what is your mission?"

Dean asked.

"Don't forget what day it is today. Kylena may indeed be Kaitou Kidd, but she may not be, so we can't just focus on her."

Dick said seriously.

"You just need to hide the transmitter and bug on Kylena. Barbara and I are going to Wayne Tower to confirm whether Kaito Kidd will show up."

"Well, let's split up."

Dean nodded, agreeing with Dick's plan.

Chapter 91 The Phantom Thief’s Little Prank

Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually became darker.

Dean walked around the corridor with a normal expression, looking here and there, like a bastard who was just sitting around and doing nothing.

Not far in front of him, a woman wearing sunglasses was walking from the opposite direction, it was Kylena.

"Dean?"

Kylena greeted Dean when she saw him, but she still didn't stop.

"Hi, Miss Kylena."

Dean responded with a smile and moved forward as usual.

Soon, the two passed by each other and continued walking in the original direction.

"How's it going?"

Soon after, Dick's voice came from the headphones Dean was wearing.

"It's done. The transmitter and bug have been hidden. Kylena has not found any clues yet."

Dean raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then asked.

"My mission has been completed, what about you?"

At the same time, on the rows of buildings near Wayne Tower, Dick, wearing a Robin uniform, sprinted forward at full speed.

When the distance between two buildings is not far, Dick will jump directly over. When he cannot jump over, he will hook over with the hook lock gun he has been holding.

Even though Dick was running so intensely, his breathing was extremely steady.

You can even have a normal conversation with Dean while sprinting.

"I'm almost arriving near Wayne Tower. I hope to be there before seven-fifty."

Faced with Dean's question, Dick replied calmly: "Barbara and Director Gordon are on the rooftop of the exhibition hall, using binoculars to monitor the Wayne Tower, waiting for the appearance of Kaito Kidd."

"So why did you go to Wayne Tower instead of staying on the rooftop with them?"
