Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Only Cicero has not yet reacted.

"what happened?"

Shhh!

Ogilvy raised his finger to his mouth to signal Cicero to be silent.

He did not go directly to the coffee table to check the cards, but winked at the younger brothers.

Then, under Cicero's bleeding eyes, O'Kilwe and his younger brother turned over the entire extremely luxurious presidential suite, scratching and damaging many high-end furniture.

After a while, the search stopped, and there was no one else in the suite except them.

Only then did Okierwei turn his attention to the card.

When he picked up the card and looked at it, his pupils suddenly tightened.

-

Gotham International Hotel, rooftop rooftop.

Dean crawled out of the ventilation duct, covered in dust and rust.

"Ahem, I have to take eight showers after I go back."

Climbing to the rooftop, Dean coughed twice, trying to cough up all the dust he had inhaled.

Drilling into ventilation ducts is really not something one can do. It is dirty and narrow, and crawling in it is almost fatal.

Dean took several deep breaths before he was freed from the rusty smell.

"It's time for Kaito Kidd's name to spread throughout Gotham."

I saw Dean standing on the rooftop, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, reaching out his hand to grab the collar and tugging it down suddenly, and put on a white dress in the blink of an eye.

The white cloak trembled slightly in the evening breeze, and there was even a top hat on his head.

Yes, he changed into Kaitou Kid's costume.

Dean stared at the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going on the road below, and jumped down without hesitation.

Dean, who was free falling in the air, calmly activated the mechanism, and the cloak behind him suddenly changed from soft to hard, transforming into a triangle hang glider.

Dean glided over the road, following the direction of the wind.

"Look at the sky. Is that a person?"

A white figure suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, easily attracting the attention of pedestrians on the ground.

"I've seen it in the newspaper, it seems to be called Kaitou Kidd!"

"Wait a minute, pay attention. Is there something falling from the sky? It's right behind Kaitou Kidd!"

At this time, someone suddenly pointed at the sky behind Kaitou Kid and exclaimed.

The pedestrians looked up and saw many small white objects falling from behind Kaitou Kidd, as if Kaitou Kidd was dropping something.

Kaitou Kid's sliding speed was not slow, and he quickly flew over the heads of the group of people, and scattered objects followed him.

They were white cards with words written on them, and a cartoon avatar of Kaitou Kidd in the lower right corner.

Some people caught the cards floating from the sky, while others picked up the cards that fell to the ground.

As for the content on the card, it turned out to be Kaitou Kidd’s preview letter!

“The feast of the nobles is luxurious and noisy,

No one remembers the tragedy of Troy,

When Chronos returns to his starting point,

Hermes will appear in front of everyone's eyes,

Uncover the final deception.

Yours sincerely, Kaitou Kidd"

Chapter 14: National Interpretation of the Notice Letter

"This is Gotham Channel 7. I'm host Recy White, calling for an emergency break on the evening news."

"About an hour ago, Phantom Thief Kidd, who stole the Angel's Tears Ruby, appeared at the Gotham International Hotel. Many witnesses said that Kidd used hang gliders to fly through the air while waving a large number of cards. The card said Write a few paragraphs like riddles."

"It is rumored that before the theft of Angel Blood Tears, Kaito Kidd also sent similar cards to the art museum. We have reason to believe that these cards are warning letters for Kaito Kidd's next theft!"

"It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Kaitou Kidd handed over the stolen Angel Blood Tears to the famous reporter Vicki Vale, and then Vicki Vale handed the gems to the GCPD and finally returned them to the museum."

"There are too many unsolved mysteries about Kaitou Kidd. He wears gorgeous clothes and has a bold style. He steals without hiding from others. He can even throw away the treasures he gets at will. It makes people wonder. Ask why.”

"Why did Kaitou Kidd give up such a precious gem on his own initiative? What was the purpose of his theft? Why did Kaitou Kidd deliver the gem to Vicky Vale? Is there an unknown relationship between the two? Kaitou Kidd What kind of treasure is Kidd targeting when he distributes the warning letter this time?"

"All questions may be answered when Kaito Kidd appears next. Please let us wait and see."

"Finally, if any citizen interprets the contents of Kidd's warning letter, please call the GCPD. Thank you for your contribution to Gotham's security."

The emergency news break was finished and the TV continued to play the original program.

However, Dean's attention at this time was not at all on the TV show.

"The notice letter has already been revealed. Last time I had an intelligence advantage, so I acted easily. I don't know what kind of array they will use to deal with me this time..."

Dean lowered his head and thought deeply. The target he chose this time was completely different from Angel Blood and Tears.

Not only is there a huge gap in value, but also the difference in opponents.

The mastermind behind the world's largest pink diamond, "Pink Dream," is the Penguin, the underground king of Gotham. Although he himself doesn't seem to want to get involved in the fake diamond thing, he only sent out his confidant O'Kilwe.

Dean will not underestimate his opponent just because of this, not to mention that there may be more powerful characters involved.

But he will not give up action for this reason.

"I sent out the notice letter with great fanfare. This move is a blatant provocation to Gotham's security. The GCPD will definitely take me more seriously. With Gordon's style, he will definitely demand to take over the hotel's security work. .”

Dean thought, repeatedly confirming the feasibility of his plan, "At that time, under Gordon's strong control, the space for the Penguin's men to move will be very limited, and they may even start fighting when the two sides meet."

"And Robin, he can follow Batman and send many super criminals to Arkham Asylum. His ability is definitely not bad, and..."

If I make things big, is it possible to draw out Batman?

In Gotham, Dean grew up listening to the legend of Batman. There were all kinds of mythical stories, and it was hard to tell the truth from the false.

When he thought that he might face the GCPD, Penguin, Robin and even Batman at the same time, Dean's heart was enveloped by a huge pressure.

To use an analogy, it's probably equivalent to Kuroba Kaito facing off against Conan, Hakuba Tan and Kyogoku Shin at the same time...

Under pressure, strong fighting spirit also arises.

This is a huge challenge, and it can be expected that if successful, Dean will gain a lot of wow points.

He had been honing his skills in Gotham for so many years, wasn't it just for today?

Turning off the TV, Dean got up and walked to the basement of his home, opened the secret door and entered the Phantom Thief's studio.

For the action in a week, he was going to make some new props.

-

The next day, when Dean walked into the classroom, he heard his classmates talking about Kaitou Kidd.

"Have you heard? Phantom Thief Kidd showed up again last night!"

"Of course I do. Now no one in Gotham is talking about Kaito Kidd, especially his weird notice letter."

A small group of the people talking happened to be near the Gotham International Hotel last night. When Dean was distributing the notices, he picked up a few and brought them to school to show off.

This makes those students who can only read the contents of the notice letters on TV or newspapers envious.

I saw a classmate take out Zhang Jide's notice letter, and five or six people immediately gathered around him, chattering non-stop.

“The feast of the nobles is luxurious and noisy,

No one remembers the tragedy of Troy,

When Chronos returns to his starting point,

Hermes will appear in front of everyone's eyes,

Uncover the final deception.

What do you think this means? "

"Hmm... Troy, Cronus and Hermes, I know, it must be related to Greek mythology!"

"Brother, if you say this, doesn't it mean you didn't say it?"

"Let's start, you still have to let me reason! Let's look at the feast of the nobles first. You don't need to think about this sentence. Think of Kidd's behavior of distributing notice letters at the International Hotel and the top auction that will be held in the hotel. The answer is already It goes without saying.”

"Everyone can see this first sentence, tell me the rest!"

"Next, let's look at the tragedy of Troy... Legend has it that the cause of the Trojan War was to compete for Helen, because this most beautiful woman lost the entire city. Isn't this a great tragedy? So I guess Kaitou Kidd may pretend to be Become a beautiful woman!"

"Hey, it seems to make sense. What's the meaning behind it?"

"Uh--ahem, I understand the rest of this. It's just the same thing. It's very simple."

In the classroom, many students were eager to interpret the notice letter, as if they were playing some kind of guessing game, although it sounded to Dean that none of them had guessed the point.

"Hey, try your best to guess, you smart people."

Seeing so many people racking their brains to guess the notice letter, Dean felt secretly happy. It was no wonder that he pulled out so many hairs when he thought about the notice letter...

However, there was one place that seemed a little out of place in the bustling classroom.

The last row by the window wall, the seat behind Dean.

Dick Grayson also held a piece of Kidd's notice in his hand, frowning, immersed in deep thinking, not communicating with anyone.

"Hi! Dick, you're also interested in Kidd's notice letter. Why don't you go talk to someone else? I remember you weren't so withdrawn before."

Dean came to his seat and asked Dick with a normal expression.

Chapter 15 The Final Details

"Ok?"

When he heard someone calling him, Dick raised his head and looked at Dean suspiciously.

"Dean? What did you just say?"

"I mean, are you thinking of something when you're so fascinated? There seems to be a riddle challenge in the school right now."

Dean stretched out his finger and pointed at the messy classroom behind him, showing strong interest on his face, just like the other students.

"I have listened to the answers given by many people. Their opinions are different, but they all make sense. Dick, you are the smartest person I know. I want to hear what you have to say about the notice letter. idea."

"How can it be as smart as you say? I just took a look at it. Maybe my ideas are not as good as others."

Dick smiled at Dean and said he was just watching for fun.

"You say this as if you are not just looking at it. Just say it casually. Don't worry, even if your explanation is outrageous, I won't laugh at you."

Dean naturally hooked Dick's shoulder and teased.

"Okay, then I'll just say it casually. In fact, I haven't fully understood the contents of this notice letter. I've only confirmed part of it."

Hearing this, Dean's heart moved. Dick's words were "not completely solved" and "certain". The implication was that he had already solved more than half of the content.

And although he didn't say it explicitly, Dick was obviously very confident in his interpretation.

Dick lowered his head and looked at the notice letter, pointed at it and said: "The feast of the nobles is luxurious and noisy. The general meaning of this sentence is the most straightforward. It refers to the auction next Saturday that gathers the upper class people, and then when Corot When North returns to where he started..."

Just as he said this, Dean suddenly interrupted him.

"Wait a minute, what about that sentence in the middle about the tragedy of Troy being forgotten?"

"That sentence..." Dick scratched his head in embarrassment, "This is the part I haven't figured out. If we insist on understanding the tragedy of Troy as Helen, the cause of the war, or the Trojan horse massacre at the end, although it can also be explained , but I always feel it’s too far-fetched.”

"What you said is indeed a bit far-fetched."

Dean nodded solemnly and echoed.

"When Chronos Returns to His Origin, it is about the time when Kaito Kidd committed the crime."

Dick continued to interpret.
