Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

"Dear viewers, this is Gotham Channel 7, and I'm the host, Recy White. Recently, the famous gemstone 'Hope Blue Diamond' was publicly exhibited in the Orpheus Jewelry Exhibition Hall, which aroused heated discussions among the citizens. "

"As soon as the news of this legendary diamond came out, it was coveted by many thieves, including the phantom thief Kidd who became famous this year. show up and steal the 'Hope Blue Diamond'."

"Counting the initial crime that was regarded as a prank, this is already the fifth theft of Kaitou Kidd."

"It sounds like he didn't have many times, but every time he committed a crime, he was extremely high-profile and bold. Not only did he take the initiative to issue a notice before committing the crime, but he also regarded the theft as his own personal performance, and even performed magic tricks among the ordinary people without any scruples. Playing with it in the palm of your hand."

"There are rumors that besides the strange thief Kidd, there is another legendary thief who wants to steal the 'Hope Blue Diamond'. Faced with such a severe challenge, can the Orpheus Jewelry Exhibition Hall protect this diamond well? Let us wait and see. "

At the entrance of the Orpheus Jewelry Exhibition Hall, Dean walked inside while watching the news broadcast on his mobile phone.

After walking a few steps, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder behind him.

Looking back, Dick was staring at him with a serious face.

"What's up, Dick?"

Dean asked, frowning.

"I'm going to tell you a secret."

Dick glanced left and right and whispered to Dean seriously.

"Actually... I am Robin!"

"What did you say?!"

Dean was shocked when he heard the words, and froze on the spot, thousands of thoughts flashed through his brain like lightning.

What happened to this guy who blew himself up inexplicably? What does he want to do?

Could it be to test my reaction?

but why? Did I do anything weird?

Unexpectedly, upon seeing Dean's suddenly stunned expression, Dick suddenly burst into laughter.

"Happy April Fool's Day! Are you scared by me? Hahahahaha..."

Looking at the triumphant Dick, the corners of Dean's mouth twitched wildly.

"Hehe~ Just return Robin? Then I still say that I am Kaitou Kidd."

Dean glanced at Dick with disgust and said.

"Ha, I won't fall for this kind of trick. If you want to play tricks on me, you have to think of a better way to say it."

Dick smiled confidently.

"Okay, this is the end of the prank session. You came here just to make fun of me, right?"

Dean said helplessly.

"Of course not. I'm here to tell you that something happened in the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition hall."

"What is it? Someone stole it?"

Dean narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Fortunately, not yet. The specific situation will be discussed in the exhibition hall. They are still arguing inside."

Dick pointed his thumb to the corridor behind, telling Dean to follow him quickly.

Without saying much, the two immediately rushed to the independent exhibition hall of "Hope Blue Diamond".

"I still can't understand why an additional container is added, so that people can't see the details of the diamonds at all. What is the significance of the exhibition? Curator Offee?"

Before entering the door, Dean heard a questioning voice from inside, which sounded like Karina's voice.

"Add containers?"

Dean walked into the exhibition hall with doubts, and found that Curator Offi, Biska, and Karina were all inside.

Kailinna was confronting Curator Offi angrily, and Bisca was caught between the two, her face full of helplessness.

Dean immediately set his eyes on the ice cube in the center of the exhibition hall. The shape and size were not much different from yesterday, and the diamond was still inside.

The biggest difference is that the "Hope Blue Diamond" in the ice today is not directly frozen in, but sealed in a bluish transparent box and then frozen.

And there are strange symbols vaguely drawn on this box.

Presumably this is the "container" that Karina just mentioned.

"I don't want to add an extra container, Miss Karina, but you should have heard about what happened late last night, so I have to do it."

Facing Kailinna's questioning, curator Offee showed embarrassment.

"I will never allow my staff to suffer another bad luck!"

"It was just an accident! You don't really believe in the legend of doom diamonds, do you? Even though I work for the Smithsonian, I have to say it's a complete marketing scam!"

Karina argued with reason.

"And even if diamonds are really cursed, why do you think that something that is no different from a plastic box is useful? Just because it has symbols that no one can understand?"

"What happened late last night?"

Dean turned to Dick and asked.

"Someone died in a car accident, the employee responsible for freezing the diamonds into the ice yesterday."

As soon as this was mentioned, Dick's face became serious.

Although the temperature in the exhibition hall is very low, it is above the melting point of ice after all, so even an ice cube more than three meters high cannot melt for a whole day.

The opening hours of the exhibition are from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm every day. During the 13-hour exhibition, it is necessary to ensure that the ice that seals the "Hope Blue Diamond" can always play a protective role.

Therefore, the exhibition hall is equipped with special staff to handle the ice cubes. After closing at about 8:00 p.m., the refrigerator is turned off to let the ice cubes melt naturally to take out the diamonds, and then refreeze new ice cubes throughout the night. .

But yesterday the employee was killed in a traffic accident on his way home from get off work after thawing the ice to remove the diamonds.

There is nothing surprising about the accidental death in a car accident.

But there is a crucial factor here, and that is the 'Hope Blue Diamond' - the doom diamond with a great reputation!

The employee died accidentally after touching the 'Hope Blue Diamond'. Combined with the horror legends before the 'Hope Blue Diamond', the staff in the exhibition hall would naturally believe that he died of a strange curse of bad luck.

As a result, curator Offi got a small box from somewhere to put the 'Hope Blue Diamond' in it, claiming that it can protect others from bad luck.

I don’t know if the box is so magical. Anyway, curator Offee firmly believes that it is useful, and his confidence has also infected all the employees, making them less panicked.

However, Kailinna, who has carefully designed everything in the exhibition hall, does not think so. Whether it is safety or practicality, she feels that there is no need to make any changes in the exhibition hall.

Especially Curator Offee's small box is still slightly blue. Although it is transparent, it will still affect the perception of diamonds outside the ice cube. After all, the color of diamonds will be darker when viewed this way.

It may even be misunderstood by knowledgeable people that the diamonds inside are fake.

Karina believes that this is superfluous and defeats the original purpose of the exhibition "Hope Blue Diamond".

So the two started arguing.
