Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Dean rolled his eyes and quickly guessed where Dick had gone.

Then he stood up from his seat.

"Where do you want to go?"

Lark beside him couldn't help asking strangely when he saw "Grey Tad Ethan" get up for no reason.

"Oh, I just need to... go to the bathroom, you know, I just ate a little too much."

Dean sneered.

"That's why your figure is always so fat that you can't even walk easily."

Lark gave Dean a disgusted look, and sat on the seat with his legs slightly turned to the right, because only in this way could "Grey Tad" walk through the aisle that was actually not that narrow.

Fortunately, the positions of the two people were in the most marginal corner, and Dean came to the outer stairs after passing Lark.

After coming out, Dean quietly left the auction venue.

Just after Dean left from the side door of the auction venue, another person in the venue also left...

On the other side, the kitchen on the first floor of the Gotham International Hotel.

While everyone was busy working, the kitchen door suddenly slammed.

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound, and they all turned to look at the door.

A teenager wearing a red tight top and green leggings with a blindfold on his face walked in.

On his shoulders was a young man wearing only a thin shirt and shorts, who was soundly asleep at this moment.

When the staff in the kitchen saw the young man on the teenager's shoulder, the expressions on their faces were even more surprised.

"Isn't that Tom! Is the person behind his back Robin?"

"I remember that Tom was supposed to be sent to serve dishes on the eighteenth floor. How could he be brought here by Robin in a coma?"

"etc!"

At this time, a salmon-cutting employee suddenly shouted, "Do you still remember that GCPD said that Kaito Kidd would disguise himself as someone else? The person in front of us may not be Tom! Maybe Robin caught him Phantom Thief Kid disguised as Tom!"

"It seems to make sense, but how can we be sure that Kaitou Kidd is Tom in disguise? Maybe Robin is Kaitou Kidd in disguise!"

Another meat grinder employee asked rhetorically.

Robin didn't explain too much, just put the sleepy Tom on the ground, and said lightly, "I found him on the roof of the hotel, and Kaitou Kidd knocked him out."

After speaking, Robin turned and left the kitchen.

Soon after, the monitoring room located on the twentieth floor of the hotel.

GCPD Director Jim Gordon and several elite subordinates of the intelligence team stayed here, staring intently at dozens of surveillance images on the entire wall.

"It has been more than an hour since the auction started, and there is no abnormality found. Will the Kaitou Kidd really come?"

One of the subordinates blinked his dry eyes, took a sip of the brewed coffee on the table and said.

"Don't be careless. It's not twelve midnight as Kidd announced. Anything can happen in the middle."

Gordon's complexion sank, and he alerted his subordinates.

"That's right, and in fact, Kaitou Kidd has sneaked into the hotel."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind Gordon.

"who!"

Several policemen in the monitoring room turned around instantly, took out their pistols and pointed them at the person behind them.

"Robin?"

Gordon looked at the person in surprise, and when his face was about to calm down, he suddenly remembered that the Kaitou Kidd would change his face, and Dang Li stared at Robin vigilantly.

"How do you prove that you are not Kaitou Kidd?"

Robin was silent for a moment, and then he took out a golden badge from nowhere, with the word "law" engraved on it.

"Remember this? When Batman took me to the Batlight for the first time a few years ago, you gave me a souvenir with your own hands. You said it was a symbol of our partnership."

Seeing the badge, Gordon looked much better. He almost believed in Robin in his heart, but he still had a last ounce of doubt.

"Maybe you stole it from the kid. Not many people know about the badge, but there are still a few people in Gotham who can find out. You have to say something that only the two of us know, at least One thing has to be said."

Gordon said forcefully.

"Okay, let me think about which one to say..."

Robin shook his head helplessly, then rubbed his chin and said, "How about the pipe? Director Gordon, you used to like smoking ordinary cigarettes like everyone else, but because Batman often appeared behind you, you always It will startle you so that the cigarette in your mouth falls to the floor, and then you change the pipe and keep smoking it in your hand."

"Oh—I'm just talking about how the director started smoking with an antique pipe for no reason. At first I thought he started to like retro styles, but I didn't expect the real reason to be this!"

A policeman next to him showed a suddenly realized expression, and said to his colleagues.

Gordon glanced at him expressionlessly and didn't speak. He just glanced at him lightly and then turned back to look at Robin again.

"You successfully proved your identity, Robin, so what did you mean when you said that Kaito Kidd had infiltrated?"

"I found a comatose man on the rooftop of the hotel, his name was Tom, who worked in the kitchen on the first floor, but the people in the kitchen had been working with 'Tom' until I found Tom unconscious. "

Robin concealed the fact that the Phantom Thief Kidd sent him a personal challenge letter temporarily, but only told the process of discovering Tom.

"Obviously, Phantom Thief Kidd disguised himself as Tom to sneak into the hotel. I came here to investigate the trajectory of 'Tom' through monitoring."

"Quick! Mobilize monitoring and push the time forward!"

Gordon immediately issued an order to his subordinates.

The matter was of great importance, and several other policemen immediately began to operate the monitoring station.

The monitoring screen began to move forward, until about two hours ago, a man who looked exactly like Tom came out of the kitchen on the first floor, and pushed a cart full of ingredients into the elevator.

Robin stared intently, watching every move of 'Tom' in the picture.

Then something went wrong. I saw 'Tom' in the surveillance record quietly looking left and right while pushing the cart.

The movement of his head turning was very slight. If he didn't observe carefully, he would not have noticed it at all. Gordon and the others were facing dozens of surveillance screens at the same time. It was normal for them not to notice it at the time.

Continue to check the monitoring records.

After coming to the restaurant on the 18th floor to work as a waiter, the behavior of 'Tom' became even weirder.

(PS: Just to mention a little bit, the auction was set to start at 7:00 p.m., but later I felt that 7:00 p.m. was a bit too early, so I changed the previous time to 9:00 p.m. Here I will explain it to the old readers who follow up )
