Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

There were not even more visitors on April Fool's Day than today.

After all, Kaitou Kidd’s April Fool’s Day preview is almost at the closing time of 8pm. Audiences who just want to see Kaitou Kidd but are not interested in the exhibition will naturally not come to the exhibition hall in broad daylight.

Today's situation is slightly different. Kaitou Kidd only said that he would launch the operation on Easter, but did not say when. Therefore, many fans will come throughout the day to wait for Kaitou Kidd to appear.

Not only that, there were also many anti-fans who wanted to see Kaitou Kidd break the contract and constantly badmouthed Kidd. They also rushed to the exhibition hall early in the morning.

With the two factors combined, the exhibition hall was almost overcrowded, which put enormous pressure on Gordon and other GCPD police officers to maintain order.

"Wow, there are so many people here."

Dean also came to the scene today at Dick's invitation. Looking at the spectacular scene of huge crowds of people, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It shouldn't be as big as the audience when you performed magic at the Gotham Grand Theater. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Beside Dean, Dick shrugged.

"That's different. The Gotham Theater is a large venue, so no matter how many people there are, the space won't seem crowded. But this one..."

Dean pointed to the somewhat difficult exhibition hall and waved his hand.

"According to Kaitou Kid's past habits, he is more likely to show up at night. I really don't know why these people are swarming over now."

Dick shook his head and said helplessly.

"It can be seen that they really like Kaitou Kidd. As I said before, Kaitou Kidd is a very good magician."

Dean looked at the audience in front of him and smiled.

Chapter 100 Something is wrong with Dean

"You really think so?"

Dick gave Dean a strange look.

The latter said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Of course, as long as you have seen Kaitou Kidd's performance, no one who loves magic in the world will not admire him."

"Why do I remember that you said before that 'comrades are enemies'? You also said that the tricks used by Kaitou Kidd are just tricks that beginner magicians can do."

Dick said with a half-smile.

"Huh? Uh... I said that on purpose to save face at the time. Could it be that you really thought that an entry-level magician could reach the level of Kaitou Kidd?"

Seeing this, Dean scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed dryly.

"Of course I know that ordinary magicians cannot reach the level of Kaitou Kidd. It's just that you suddenly started to praise Kaitou Kidd, which makes me feel a little surprised."

Dick shrugged.

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about these things. You called me here to catch Kaitou Kidd. We have to quickly enter the exhibition hall of 'Hope Blue Diamond', otherwise we won't be able to squeeze in when there are more people. Got in."

Dean looked at Dick and said seriously.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you see Barbara today?"

Suddenly, Dean looked around and asked curiously.

"Barbara had something urgent to deal with today, so she didn't come."

Dick explained.

"I see, that's really a pity."

Dean said with a hint of regret in his tone.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, Dick seemed to see a look of surprise flash across Dean's eyes.

That look passed quickly, and when he looked at Dean again, his eyes were so clear that Dick doubted whether he had really seen it.

"What are you thinking, Richard?"

Looking at Dick who was a little stunned, Dean asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just wondering when Kaitou Kidd will show up today."

Dick came back to his senses immediately and smiled as usual.

Dean nodded and took the lead to walk to the exhibition hall where the 'Hope Blue Diamond' was moved.

Looking at Dean's back, a deep light flashed in Dick's eyes.

Because Kaitou Kidd deliberately let people in the exhibition hall find that he was disguised as a repairman, the police and the museum discovered all kinds of tricks in the original independent exhibition hall, completely destroying Catwoman's entire arrangement.

Although only a few people knew that the mechanisms in the independent exhibition hall were done by Catwoman, most people thought that they were done by Kaitou Kidd.

In short, the original independent exhibition hall can no longer be put into use, and the 'Hope Blue Diamond' was moved to another regular exhibition hall.

This situation happened too hastily, and there was no way to re-create a place with a higher security level than an independent exhibition hall. The only option was to move the 'Hope Blue Diamond' to a relatively safe exhibition hall.

That is the east exhibition hall located on the fifth floor of the Offee Jewelry Exhibition Hall. It is located on the edge of the building, with two sides by windows and only one entrance.

The windows on both sides look like glass, but they are actually made of high-strength glass-like material that is fire-proof, explosion-proof, cold-resistant and high-temperature resistant. Unless bombarded with heavy firepower weapons, there is no possibility of being broken.

At the same time, the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth is placed in the center of the exhibition hall. The booth is equipped with a high-precision gravity sensing device. Even if only a few grams of external force is exerted on the 'Hope Blue Diamond', an alarm will be triggered.

The only thing that is strange is that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' is already protected by a bulletproof glass cover on the stand, but Director Aoife still insists on putting the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in the box he brought, claiming that he does not do so. If so, bad luck will come.

He had always had this attitude a few days ago, and everyone couldn't defeat him, so they had no choice but to keep the previous container.

"Director Gordon, are you serious about everything you just said?"

In the corridor at the entrance of the east exhibition hall, Bisca looked at Gordon with shock and asked.

"Ever since we discovered the secret passage and the gas mask in the independent exhibition hall, Kylena has disappeared mysteriously. No one has seen her, and no surveillance cameras have captured her movements, leaving only a few scattered ones. Meaningless images.”

Gordon nodded solemnly.

"Miss Bisca, I ask you to tell me now, is there really an employee 'Kelina' in the Smithsonian Museum?"

Bisca shook her head and said, "She is a security expert specially hired from overseas after we announced the Gotham exhibition plan. To be honest, I don't know her any better than you do."

"Then 'Kylena' is most likely a fake identity. I have enough reasons to suspect that she is the thief who pretended to be you to inquire about information from Director Offee. As for her true identity, she is probably someone from Gotham. A veteran thief named Selina Kyle, nicknamed Catwoman."

Gordon introduced to Bisca.

"It's really terrible."

Bisca said with a frightened look on her face, "Kylena has always behaved very professionally. I never thought that she was actually a thief. If she really stole the 'Hope Blue Diamond', the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"But on the other hand, the more skillful a thief is, the more professional he will be in preventing theft. After all, no one knows the ins and outs of this industry better than them."

At this time, Dean came over without knowing it, and Dick followed him.

"Makes sense."

Gordon glanced at Dean in surprise, but changed his face the next second.

"This is not the place for you two to stay. You can visit normally, but you are not allowed to interfere with the police's handling of the case!"

Dean and Dick, who were blasted away by Gordon, turned around silently and walked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall in front of the corridor.

"Why didn't you say this when Barbara was here? We still had to talk in the corridor. You have the ability to block the corridor so that no one can pass by. Isn't it normal for people passing by to hear the conversation and want to interrupt?"

Dean complained softly.

"You'd better say less, lest Director Gordon get angry and kick us both out of the exhibition hall."

Dick reminded him as he patted his shoulder.

"Don't worry, he can't hear it."

Dean patted his chest confidently, saying it didn't matter.

"Hey! Look, Harvey is in front."

At this time, Dick suddenly pointed to the entrance of the exhibition hall.

I saw my old friend Harvey Bullock leading a team to guard the door, surrounded by a dozen police officers on both sides, both men and women, who were conducting routine checks on everyone entering the exhibition hall to see if anyone was wearing a disguise mask.

Seeing this scene, Dean's pupils shrank instantly.

Dick, who had been staring at him since he finished speaking, quickly caught this and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"What's wrong, Dean? Are you afraid of being pinched in the face?"

Dick remained calm and said with a teasing smile.

"Hmph~ How is that possible? I'm not a child, who would be afraid of such a thing?"

Dean snorted and strode forward to get in line, Dick following closely behind him.

When it was Dean's turn to be examined, Dick's eyes widened immediately, watching Brock's movements and Dean's reaction.

Chapter 101 Feathers falling all over the sky

"You're Dean Thaston, right? I've heard of you for a long time, Gotham's most outstanding young genius magician."

Brock looked at Dean in front of him and said.

"Many people say that even though you are young, your proficiency in magic techniques is higher than that of many experienced magicians. You are really young and promising."

"It's just a false name, just a false name."

Dean smiled modestly.

"I heard Barbara say before that you can see through the magic-related techniques used by Kaitou Kidd when he stole?"

Brock asked curiously.

"I will try my best to see through his tactics, but if you want me to guarantee that I can see through it 100%, this may be a bit difficult."

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, kid."

Just as he was talking, Bullock suddenly reached out his hand, pinched Dean's cheek and rubbed it.

He came closer and whispered: "From Kaitou Kidd's debut to now, no one has ever been able to see through the tricks he used in the first place. Even if you don't see it, it's normal. You don't have to force yourself to do it."

Dean looked at Brock in surprise, you are quite a nice person.

Behind Dean, Dick stared intently at Brock's movements of squeezing Dean's face, his whole body tensing up, like an arrow that had already been stringed and could be fired in an instant with just an opportunity.

"Ok?"

However, Bullock's examination ended quickly and Dean was found to be fine and had not undergone any disguise.

When Dean successfully entered the exhibition hall and it was Dick's turn to be examined, others were still confused.

"What's going on? Am I overthinking it? But... still talking about Dean? But that's impossible!"

Glancing back slightly at Dick, who had a distorted face, Dean revealed a slightly smug smile.

"Dick, Dick, the game I set has already begun. Can you see through it?"

After a while, Dick, who had passed the examination, joined Dean with a strange expression.

He didn't speak, just looked at Dean with a troubled expression.

Dean pretended not to notice, looked around the exhibition hall and said, "Fortunately we came early, the place is not full yet. If it had been more than ten minutes later, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get in."

"Yes, you are right."

Dick said weakly.

"Huh? What's your expression? Why do you look weak? I've told you to stop playing with so many girls."

Upon seeing this, Dean immediately looked Dick up and down and sighed.

"Hey! You are so stupid! Who else keeps playing with multiple girls? If you are irresponsible, please stop talking nonsense."

Dick exclaimed in annoyance.

"I'm going to take a suitable position first so that I can observe the panoramic view when Kaito Kidd takes action."

Dean quickly changed the subject and walked closer to the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth.

Dick cheered up and followed Dean with solemn eyes, recalling in his mind every detail of getting along with Dean today.

"Dean was in a weird state today. First he praised Kid the Phantom Thief, and then he was surprised by Barbara's absence. He even called me Richard!"

"It's not like Dean's habit to interrupt when Gordon is talking to Bisca... All things considered, I suspect that Dean may not be Dean!"

Dick thought silently in his heart.

"But Bullock has checked his face, and he doesn't appear to be wearing a disguise mask, which means he is the real Dean, but why is he so weird today?"
