Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

It's a pity that Kaitou Kidd's action happened last night. After Kidd's action ended, Director Aoife followed Director Gordon and others to the GCPD to take notes, and they haven't come out until now.

O'Kilwe didn't have a good chance to send someone to ask Director Aoife about the whole situation.

In fact, he only found out now after watching the news that in addition to the Stone of Doom, Kaito Kidd also stole the real Blue Diamond of Hope.

If Kaitou Kidd somehow learned that the real 'Hope Blue Diamond' was with Curator Offee and then stole it, then there would be no need for him to go back and get the Stone of Doom?

It turned out that the Stone of Doom was stolen. Why did Kaitou Kidd do this? Does he know the true identity of the Stone of Doom?

If he had known about it, then Kaito Kidd would definitely not have taken the initiative to touch the stone. The plan to use the Stone of Doom to kill Kaito Kidd had undoubtedly failed.

Thinking of this, countless beads of sweat suddenly appeared on O'Kilwe's forehead.

"This... Kaitou Kidd may...maybe..."

Faced with Penguin's question, O'Kilwe couldn't think of what to say for a while.

"Kidd may have known about the existence of the Stone of Doom in advance through something or someone, so he deliberately took it away and left the Hope Blue Diamond. This means to tell us that he has seen through our plan!"

Penguin snorted and answered on his own.

"To be exact, he saw through your plan! He made me waste fifteen million to buy that piece of stone!"

"I'm sorry, boss, I...I was so stupid."

O'Kilwe lowered his head and looked panicked.

"Kaitou Kid usually returns the stolen things to their original place. Have you ever thought about what would happen if he secretly returned the cursed stone here? You and I will all be there. Unknowingly die in that bullshit misfortune!”

Penguin's voice suddenly rose, "Okilwe, your failure this time makes me so disappointed!"

Ogilvy opened his eyes wide, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Does this old penguin want to kill me to vent his anger?

"Are you afraid I'm going to kill you?"

Suddenly, Penguin's tone slowed down.

"I made a fatal mistake this time. I deserve whatever punishment the boss wants. I am willing to accept it."

O'Kilwe's face became solemn, he raised his head and spoke righteously, with an expression of generosity and sacrifice on his face.

"If in Gotham more than ten years ago, when Falcone was still around, I might still believe what you said, but now?"

Penguin said with disdain in his eyes, only half of what he said, but O'Kilwe understood what he meant.

"You are a rare talent, O'Kilwe, not only because of your personal abilities, but also because I often see the shadow of myself in you."

"I won't hold you accountable for your fault this time, but I will never allow it to happen again!"

With that said, Penguin began to give instructions: "Phantom Thief Kidd has the Stone of Doom in his hand, and he may come to take revenge at any time. Now I have to go talk to the calculator. You'd better take this time to think about how to get the Stone of Doom." What to do with De!"

"When I come back, I want to hear your answer!"

-

Gotham High.

During this day's school class, Dick was in a confused state. He stayed in his seat and didn't know what he was thinking.

Because I was distracted too many times in class, I was called out by the teachers of several classes and made to stand.

Dick might not have even known he was called if Dean hadn't reminded him up front.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, for Dick, Kaitou Kidd disguised himself to deceive Dean, and then disguised himself as Dean to deceive himself.

This means that Kaitou Kidd can also use similar disguise methods in the future.

Dick is worried that if Kaito Kidd often uses this method in the future, how to effectively detect Kaitou Kidd's identity will become a big problem.

Just thinking about it like this, slowly it was time for school to end.

Dick returned to Wayne Manor exhausted both physically and mentally.

As soon as he entered the door, he was surprised to find that besides Alfred, there was someone else in the house...

(No, brothers, I feel that the pain in my legs has not been relieved for two days. Although it is said that I rely on my hands to code, the painful feeling makes my brain hard to use. I have to go to the hospital for a check-up today. Let’s update it first and make up for it tomorrow. Please don’t run away, brothers)

Chapter 111 Return of the Caped Crusader

"Bruce!"

Seeing this man, Dick immediately shouted his name in surprise.

I saw a strong man sitting on the sofa with his upper body naked. His muscular body was covered with countless scars. Just looking at it was enough to make people scared.

This man's name is Bruce Wayne. He is a super-rich man with vast amounts of property, a caped crusader active in the darkness, and a source of lingering fear in the hearts of Gotham criminals.

He is Batman.

There are several wounds on Bruce's body that are very new and should have been injured for no more than three days. Even now, blood is still oozing out.

At this time, Alfred was carefully applying medicine and bandaging to Bruce.

Next to the sofa was a pile of old blood-stained bandages that had obviously been removed from Bruce's body not long ago.

Alfred's face was full of worry and helplessness, and he seemed to have endless words of persuasion in his heart, but in the end he still didn't speak.

His method of treating wounds was quite sophisticated. He applied the medicine in three strokes and then wrapped a new bandage.

"When did you come back?"

Dick walked to the front of the sofa and asked Bruce with concern: "You were injured a lot this time. Do you feel okay?"

"As a mortal fighting with a group of gods, and even leading them, I know very well how difficult it is. Bruce, you'd better take a good rest at home..."

"Dick."

Suddenly, Bruce's plain voice sounded, and his emotional fluctuations could not be heard from his tone.

"I heard from Alfred that a criminal named Kaito Kidd appeared in Gotham during this time, and you failed every time you hunted him down?"

Hearing this, Dick's face froze, and he couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"I knew you would definitely ask about this."

Dick nodded and admitted: "Yes, Kaitou Kidd is very smart. I only just barely see through his plan every time, but in the end I still fall into his trap."

"So, in the past few months when Kaito Kidd was active, how far has your investigation of him progressed?"

Bruce continued to ask.

"What's Kaito Kid's real name?"

Dick fell silent.

"How old is Kaitou Kidd?"

"……do not know."

"Kid's motive for committing the crime?"

"..."

"Appearance? Personality? Living environment? Suspect?"

Facing Dick, who didn't know anything about it, Bruce's tone began to worsen.

"What have you been doing these past few months? Do you know how many crimes occur in this city every night? Do you know how many crimes occur when you waste your time catching a performance art thief? Innocent people desperately need your help!"

"I had high hopes for you when I left, believing that you would protect Gotham, but your answer was that you couldn't even deal with a thief? You even made a thief become the superstar of Gotham? This is yours As?"

Bruce asked with a cold face.

"Master Bruce!"

Alfred next to him couldn't stand it, and said: "Don't be too harsh on Master Richard, he has already done a good job."

"And one thing you don't know is that the appearance of Kaito Kidd has caused the overall crime rate in Gotham to show a downward trend. To some extent, his existence may be a good thing."

"Afu, are you saying that the appearance of a criminal can make the city a better place? I can't believe you would say such ridiculous things."

Bruce had a look of clear disbelief on his face.

"I would rather believe that it is the GCPD's fault."

"Kaitai Kidd is not as simple as you think!"

Dick frowned and raised his voice in response. Bruce's questioning words not only did not overwhelm Dick, but instead aroused his resistance.

"Kid is proficient in disguise and magic. He can change his voice without props. He is good at using a pistol that shoots playing cards. He can also make homemade flash bombs, smoke bombs, tear gas and other non-lethal weapons. He is good at formulating a series of rigorous action plans. , and has extremely strong anti-reconnaissance capability.”

"Bruce, you've never seen Kaito Kidd, so you may not know how powerful his disguise is. Trust me, it's definitely no worse than Clayface."

Dick said seriously.

"I tried to track down Kaitou Kidd and checked all the surveillance cameras in Gotham. At first I could still find some traces of Kaitou Kidd, but do you know what the final result will be?"

"Every time! Every time I lost his whereabouts in the middle of the process! He would deliberately sneak into places with less surveillance and more pedestrians, and then he would never be found again! Because he would disguise himself several times in a row, and in a blink of an eye He can cross-dress from head to toe several times with his skills! There is no way to know who he is after the cross-dressing. Even if I find out what he looks like after the cross-dressing, when I look for him I find that the person is not Kaitou Kidd at all!"

"Kidd has never used his real appearance or voice, and has never left any clues at the scene. Fingerprints, bloodstains, hair, skin flakes... none of these, not even the Kidd cloak I collected. Not a single bit of useful information was detected.”

"I have also targeted several suspects who are most likely to be Kaitou Kidd, but whether it is surveillance, eavesdropping or even house searches, I have used all the methods I can use, but in the end they are not Kaitou Kidd!"

"Bruce, Phantom Thief Kidd has never killed anyone, nor committed a terrorist attack, nor does he have any strong power. Maybe in your eyes, he is just an insignificant thief who likes to perform performance art."

Dick said with a serious face.

"But you haven't seen what kind of changes his appearance has brought to this city. I insist on believing that he is a person with good nature. Indeed, what Kaitou Kidd did is wrong and may lead others to imitate him." It’s misguided, but that’s why I should pay more attention to Kaitou Kidd.”

"He is definitely not an easy opponent. What I hope is for him to become one of us, not just to arrest him."

Hearing Dick's words, Bruce glanced at him lightly, and then said.

"Have you seen the news about the 'Bat Monster' on the Upper West Side?"

"I know there is such a thing. The case Barbara is investigating seems to be related to this."

Dick was stunned when he heard this, and then continued.

"Barbara was attacked last night and she's lying in a hospital room at Gotham General Hospital."

Bruce said expressionlessly.

"Just when you're looking at Kaitou Kidd, she's fighting that 'bat monster' all by herself!"

After saying that, Bruce stood up from the sofa and walked out of the house.

"Come to the Batcave, Dick. There's only one thing you need to do tonight, and that's to do as you're told."

Only Alfred and Dick were left.

Chapter 112 Are humans like bats or bats like humans?

"what!"

Dick was startled and turned quickly to Alfred.

"I, I didn't know this happened... How is Barbara doing now? Why didn't she ask me for help?"

Looking at Dick with a guilty face, Alfred spoke softly.

"Master Richard, we only learned about this not long ago. Barbara was injured by the 'Bat Monster' last night. She didn't wake up from her coma until today. Then she called Wayne Manor to explain the situation. Fortunately, no vital parts were hurt.”

"Chief Gordon asked the media not to report this matter, because if even the police chief's daughter cannot protect herself, the sense of security of other citizens will collapse instantly, causing huge panic."

Alfred sighed and said, "He must be feeling quite uncomfortable mentally, but in order to maintain the stability of the city, Commissioner Gordon had to conceal what happened to Barbara."

"So... Bruce is actually blaming me for not helping Barbara in time?"

Dick lowered his head and thought with a complicated expression.

As soon as he saw Dick's expression, Alfred knew what he was thinking, so he stepped forward and patted Dick on the shoulder.

"It's more likely that he's blaming himself for not coming back earlier."

Alfred said softly, "Don't blame Master Bruce too much. He didn't really mean what he said to you. He just didn't know how to express his emotions."

"I know, Alfred, I've always known it, but Bruce is right about one thing."

Dick nodded, his eyes became firm and said: "Recently, I have indeed been paying too much attention to Phantom Thief Kidd, and I have ignored other things that may pose greater threats."

"Barbara actually told me that she was going to investigate the murder case of the bat monster. The most important thing I should do at that time was to investigate with her, at least to provide her with timely assistance. But at that time, I gave up wholeheartedly. In Kaitou Kidd, there was no thought of the possibility of the real existence of bat monsters.”
