Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"And why did Dean look nervous for a moment when he saw that he needed to pinch his face for inspection before entering the hall? What was he worried about?"

Somehow, Dick felt more and more that the good friend in front of him felt both familiar and strange.

Dick's doubts were getting more and more serious here, but Dean was completely unaware, scanning everyone in the exhibition hall with a vigilant expression.

It seems that he has fully entered the state of capturing Kaitou Kidd, putting all his attention on finding the suspicious person.

At least at this moment, Dean is acting more like a police officer or detective than Dick.

Not long after, Gordon, Bisca, and Director Aoife all entered the exhibition hall and gathered near the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth. Dozens of GCPD guards were deployed inside and outside, either in police uniforms or plainclothes, trying to The Kaito Kid was caught off guard.

Time passed little by little, the sun gradually dropped below the horizon, and night fell.

The weather is exceptionally good today, and the night sky in Gotham is rarely clear.

The half-full moon hangs in the sky, just visible through the east window of the exhibition hall.

"It's already half past seven in the evening, and there's only half an hour left before closing time. Why hasn't Kaitou Kid shown up yet?"

Some viewers were impatient and asked impatiently.

"He won't wait until after closing time to show up, right? Then we won't be able to see Kaitou Kidd's performance."

"Who knows? Maybe Kaitou Kidd didn't dare to come because there were too many people here!"

"He's starting again. He keeps slandering us Kidd. I don't want to talk to you at all, because I will definitely get slapped in the face in the end."

Not far from the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth, Dick was paying half his attention to everyone around him, while the other half was focusing on Dean next to him.

"Ah Sneeze! What is it?"

At this moment, an audience member in the crowd couldn't help but sneeze.

The spectator rubbed his nose and suddenly found a gray feather on his hand.

Just as he was wondering why there were feathers in the exhibition hall, another feather appeared in front of him, floating in the air at eye level.

The next second, more and more gray feathers appeared out of thin air, falling in every corner of the exhibition hall, as if they were endless.

"Where did these feathers come from? Damn it! There are so many of them, and the sight is so severely obstructed."

Dick clenched his fists instantly and thought through gritted teeth.

Most of his eyes were covered by countless feathers. Although he couldn't see anything, the visual discomfort was still there.

"who!"

Suddenly, Dick vaguely saw a black shadow rushing towards the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth, and immediately shouted to stop it.

boom!

Just hearing a bang, the black shadow was instantly enveloped by a cloud of smoke.

When the smoke dissipated, the black shadow had completely disappeared.

At the same time, all the countless flying feathers fell to the ground.

The whole process took less than a minute, barely thirty seconds.

Dick subconsciously looked for Dean, and when he saw that the latter was still staying in his original position, Dick breathed a sigh of relief.

"what!"

A scream suddenly sounded, and Bisca pointed to the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth with a horrified look on her face and exclaimed: "'Hope Blue Diamond' is gone!"

The expressions of everyone around them all changed, and they turned around to look. Sure enough, the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in the glass cover had disappeared.

And only the diamonds were missing, and the transparent box used to place the diamonds was still inside the glass cover!

Could it be that in just thirty seconds, Kaito Kidd stole the diamond through the two-layer container?

"Look! Kaito Kidd is outside! He has a diamond in his hand!"

At this time, another exclamation sounded from the window, and everyone hurried over to follow the sound.

I only saw a white figure flying through the sky with hang gliding wings outside the window. The 'Hope Blue Diamond' in my hand looked brilliant and extremely beautiful under the moonlight.

Chapter 102 There are suspicions besides suspicions

Looking at Kaitou Kidd flying away from the sky, the audience in the exhibition hall exclaimed in disbelief.

"The 'Blue Diamond of Hope' has been stolen by Kaitou Kidd!"

"The entrance and exit of the exhibition hall has been closed tightly, and the windows are intact. How did he get outside?"

"What happened just now? I just saw a bunch of feathers floating down from my head out of thin air, and then I rubbed my eyes, and the diamond was stolen by Kaitou Kidd? This is too fast!"

"It feels a bit pity. I thought I could see a wonderful performance like the last time the rain turned back. I didn't expect him to steal the diamond so quickly, but the process of Kidd stealing the 'Hope Blue Diamond' was incredible! I can’t imagine how he did it!”

"Magic! This must be magic! I've known for a long time that Kaito Kidd can't be just an ordinary magician. He definitely used the magic of space transfer! Otherwise, how can we explain what just happened?"

Almost everyone at the scene was shocked by Kidd's almost impossible spatial displacement, or lamented that another rare treasure was stolen by Kidd, and some of them were seriously thinking about the truth behind the entire theft process.

Only one person showed an expression that was different from everyone else's.

While most people were crowding around the window looking out at Kaitou Kidd, Director Offee was standing in front of the 'Hope Blue Diamond' booth.

Looking at the empty glass cover and transparent box inside, Director Ao Fe not only did not show any disappointment or frustration, but instead seemed to be relieved.

"Finally let the Kaitou Kidd take away the Stone of Doom, hehe, he left the box behind, it's really stupid to the extreme, it seems that he will soon be found by the terrible bad luck of death..."

Curator Aoife thought in his mind: "The real 'Hope Blue Diamond' should still be locked in the safe in my office. Although I was forced to tell Batman that day, that crazy vigilante should not do anything like stealing. Yes, and I checked last night that the diamond is still there."

"When I pretend to chase Kaitou Kidd and then take out the real 'Hope Blue Diamond', people will think that I took the diamond back from Kaitou Kidd. Then..."

Thinking of the origin, Director Ao Fei's eyes couldn't help but be filled with joy.

What Director Aoife didn't know was that not far from him, Dick was glancing at him with a strange expression.

"What's going on with this curator's attitude? Back then, he was so miserable in front of Barbara and I that he would put all his wealth on this exhibition, saying that he would not let the 'Hope Blue Diamond' be stolen. But now You were really stolen and you actually look very happy? Are you crazy?"

Dick knew very well that people could not go crazy so casually. The behavior of Curator Orpheus was very strange.

"Isn't he the real Curator Orphen, but the one pretending to be Kaitou Kidd?"

Thinking of this, Dick turned to look at Dean aside, "If Kaito Kidd is pretending to be Curator Offee, then who is Dean?"

Dick's brows furrowed tightly. At present, it seems that both Dean and Director Aoife have quite abnormal behaviors and performances. At the same time, these two people were very close to the booth just now, and both have the ability to take advantage of the chaos to steal the "Hope Blue". Drill' condition.

But since the two of them could pass Bullock's inspection and appear in the exhibition hall normally, it means that they are not wearing disguise masks on their faces.

And it's impossible for Kaitou Kid to be two people, unless he has an accomplice?

Dick looked at Curator Aoife for a while and Dean for a while, his mind was extremely complicated.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the ceiling, and the moment the ceiling came into view, Dick's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, you can do that..."

At the same time, Gordon took out the walkie-talkie and contacted Bullock who was guarding the entrance of the exhibition hall.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Harvey! Has anyone been in or out of the exhibition hall just now?"

Bullock took the message and responded with certainty: "I swear to my deceased grandma, I didn't see anyone come out of the exhibition hall, nor did anyone enter the exhibition hall."

After a pause, Bullock turned to ask.

"Jim, what happened? I heard a commotion in the exhibition hall. Is it Kaitou Kidd?"

"He has escaped and the 'Hope Blue Diamond' has been stolen!"

Gordon said with a serious face, but there was one thing he was always puzzled about.

How did Kaitou Kid manage to steal the diamond and escape outside the museum in less than a minute?

If he just stole the diamond without leaving, that would be somewhat possible, but escaping outside?

What's even more incredible is that there is a gravity sensing device underneath the 'Hope Blue Diamond'. If Kidd had taken the diamond, it would have triggered an alarm, but it didn't.

Gordon couldn't imagine the means by which this could be achieved. Perhaps only magic or superpowers could make sense.

"Director Gordon, please hurry up and send someone to chase Kaitou Kidd. Don't let him take the 'Hope Blue Diamond' away!"

At this time, Bisca ran over anxiously and begged Gordon.

"Don't worry, we have police officers stationed outside the museum. They are already on the way to chase Kaitou Kidd. However, I have a question for Miss Bisca. Are you sure that the one Kaitou Kidd is holding is genuine? ?"

Gordon asked probingly, "Forgive me, but I really can't imagine that Kaitou Kidd can do all this in such a short period of time. Maybe the one outside is just a cover-up for him to mislead us. The real Kidd and the diamond are still there." it's here."

"No, I'm pretty sure that's the real 'Hope Blue Diamond'!"

Bisca shook her head and said firmly.

"I have worked in the Smithsonian Museum for more than ten years and have looked at it almost every day. I know the shape, color and refracted brilliance of this diamond very well."

"Just now, Kaitou Kid flew past the window. I saw the diamond in his hand at close range. There is no doubt that it is the 'Hope Blue Diamond'!"

Seeing that the real owner Bisca was so sure, Gordon's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly put the walkie-talkie to his mouth and switched it to the GCPD's public channel.

"Action Team A, Action Team B, Emergency Response Team... All GCPD members in the exhibition hall, please pay attention. I am Jim Gordon. Phantom Thief Kidd has appeared and stolen the 'Hope Blue Diamond' and is now heading towards Flee in the direction of the Cavaliers Stadium, and everyone immediately goes to give chase!”

"Repeat it, everyone goes to pursue it immediately!"

After giving the order, Gordon worked non-stop, gathering the police officers who stayed in the exhibition hall to control the entrances and exits, and then began to maintain order in the exhibition hall.

"Dear citizens, in order to prevent Kaitou Kidd from hiding in the crowd, we must now conduct necessary inspections including body searches on you. Please cooperate with the police!"

"Now, please come to the door one by one to be inspected. After the inspection is completed, you can leave the building normally."

Chapter 103 I disguised myself

In the exhibition hall, Gordon led a dozen GCPD police officers to guard the door.

There was Bullock and his subordinates outside the door. Under their gaze, it was impossible for anyone in the exhibition hall to sneak out.

Spectators lined up one by one and walked to the door, undergoing a comprehensive inspection by Gordon and others. They were allowed to go out after 100% confirmation.

Moreover, the exhibition hall is now only allowed to go out, but no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who wants to go in after walking out will be unconditionally regarded as a criminal suspect and detained on the spot.

"How's it going? Have you figured out what tricks Kidd used to steal the diamonds just now, and how he escaped from this closed exhibition hall?"

Dick asked, nudging Dean with his elbow.

Since the two of them were in the exhibition hall, they naturally had to undergo inspection by the GCPD.

They were very far back in the queue, and it would take quite some time before it was their turn.

Curator Ao Fei was just behind them, with four or five people in between.

"Um……"

After hearing Dick's question, Dean pondered for a moment and said: "I don't think Kaito Kidd can move instantly. The person who flew past the window just now must not be the real Kaito Kidd. He must still be hiding in the exhibition hall."

"Although Ms. Bisca of the Smithsonian Museum firmly claims that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' outside is genuine, it is not difficult to forge a diamond with exactly the same appearance using current technical means."

Dick nodded and agreed: "I think so too. Kaitou Kidd was probably trying to make everyone think he had escaped with the diamonds, and induced the police to chase the dummy so that he could blend in with the crowd and leave the exhibition hall. I don’t know how he should pass the inspection.”

"This is actually very simple."

Dean stretched out a finger and shook it, "The best thing a skilled magician is good at is hiding things on his body. Even if Kidd is carrying the 'Hope Blue Diamond' on his body, I don't think a bunch of policemen who are laymen in magic can do anything." Can search it out."

"You mean, if you were hiding something on your body, the police wouldn't be able to find it?"

Dick asked with a look of disbelief.

Dean chuckled and said, "What do you think?"

"I'm really convinced by you magicians. If you want to be a pickpocket, you will definitely be an expert in pickpocketing."

Dick complained, and then asked: "Is it possible that... Kaitou Kidd did not steal the diamond, and the 'Hope Blue Diamond' is actually still on the stand? After all, the gravity sensor device was not triggered."

Hearing this, Dean was stunned for a moment, then his face straightened and he said seriously: "I have indeed considered this possibility you mentioned."

"But I think it's unlikely because we can see the box containing the diamonds inside the glass."

"It is very simple to create the illusion that the diamond is still inside and has actually been stolen. You only need to cover the outermost glass cover with a special cover to deviate the reflection angle of the light, and the diamond inside will disappear. But in this way , the box inside the glass cover should also disappear at the same time, or the shape will appear distorted, and it cannot be consistent with the original."

"What we saw was that the glass cover and the box inside remained intact, only the diamonds were missing."

Dick looked back at the booth. Indeed, as Dean said, the transparent box under the glass cover was exactly the same as before.

Dean continued to explain.

"There is only one way to create the scene we see now, and that is for Kaito Kidd to lift up the glass cover and put the cover directly on the transparent box. This will only make the diamonds disappear without affecting the box and glass cover."
