Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

After a while, in a quiet corner of Gotham.

"Huh—I'm so hot!"

Dean took off his bat-shaped helmet and let out a long sigh of relief.

There were dense beads of sweat all over his forehead, and his back was already wet with sweat.

Not only the helmet, but he also took off the bat suit and the super thick layer of muscle silicone lining on his body, as well as the pair of combat boots padded ten centimeters high.

After taking off these things, Dean suddenly felt tens of kilograms lighter, and had the illusion of being alive again.

Yes, what Curator Offee met not long ago was not the real Batman at all, but Dean in disguise!

The reason for dressing up as Batman is because Batman's reputation in Gotham is too loud, and he is good at doing everything. If he scares Director Offee casually, he will say everything. It is not necessarily the same treatment for others.

What's more, how can an elegant and gentle monster do such violent torture?

Not suitable, not suitable.

To tell the truth, wearing such a heavy suit of clothing to show off is not an easy thing, and it almost smothered Dean.

The bat suit on his body did not use any high-tech materials, it was purely a counterfeit product made of plastic and a little metal.

In order to avoid being seen by the curator Offee, Dean used the searchlight to emit strong light at the beginning, and then suddenly turned off the light and walked around behind him, so as to create the image of Batman elusive.

Eyes stimulated by strong light, it is difficult to focus on the details of Batman's suit for a while.

Fortunately, Dean did a good job. Curator Offee didn't see his flaws, and he successfully obtained the information he wanted.

"Cough, cough, cough! Damn it, my throat hurts just after learning to say a few words. Isn't Batman tired of talking like that every day? Are you afraid that one day he will become dumb?"

Dean coughed violently a few times and couldn't help complaining.

"I didn't expect that this time it was the Penguin Gang's work again..."

He gathered up all the fake Batman components on the ground, thought to himself.

"Last time I used the dragon egg ruby ​​necklace as bait and recruited fireflies to kill me, but this time I got the real 'stone of doom' from somewhere!"

"Isn't it just that he exposed his money laundering scam? As for being so ruthless and insisting on killing me? How much hatred and hatred?"

"And it was Vicki Weir who really told the story. I just assisted. Why did Penguin rely on me instead of revenge on Vicki Weir?"

Dean didn't quite understand why Penguin hated him so much.

He also couldn't understand why, among the reporters in Gotham, Vicki Weir was the only one who could be favored by all the super criminals in Gotham.

It is said that Vicki Weir also interviewed the clown face to face, not in a prison or Arkham, but at a crime scene full of hostages.

In that situation, she dared to bluntly condemn the crimes committed by the clown, but the clown was not angry at all, and even had a happy conversation with her.

It was as if there was a mysterious force protecting Vicki Weir invisibly.

"It seems that there is no way to make Penguin suffer a lot. He doesn't plan to let me go."

Dean stroked his chin and pondered deeply.

"The stone of doom, maybe you can make good use of it..."

On the other side, Wayne Manor.

Dick dragged his tired and tired body back home.

"Welcome back, Master Richard."

Alfred came out to greet him, asking with a half-smile on his face.

"Did today's mission go well?"

"Stop teasing me, Ah Fu, I'm sure you already know that there is a live broadcast from Wayne Tower, and everyone will know that Kaitou Kidd made a big joke on Gotham on April Fool's Day."

Dick shook his head and smiled wryly.

"I should have been prepared when the date was read out to be April 1st. In the end, I actually believed that he would do it today. I underestimated Kaito Kidd's playfulness."

"A criminal has such a psychology, I really don't know whether it is good or bad."

Dick sighed.

"Hmm... If it's fun where no one gets hurt, I don't think that's a bad thing. In all honesty, I don't hate Kaitou Kidd just like you."

Alfred chuckled.

Hearing Alfred's words, Dick looked at him curiously.

"Master Richard, maybe you haven't noticed, but the day Kaito Kidd committed the crime, especially when his performance was officially released, the overall crime rate in Gotham showed a downward trend, although there is still a lot of crime in the city. Happened, but it did go down."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Dick showed a surprised expression.

He doesn't hate Phantom Thief Kidd purely because he thinks Phantom Thief Kidd is not bad in nature, and he hasn't committed any truly unforgivable crimes.

Didn't expect the appearance of Kaito Kidd to be accompanied by the drop in crime rate in Gotham?

"Yes, Master Richard, you can check all the recent crimes on the Batcomputer, and the total number has indeed decreased."

Dick still couldn't believe it.

Thinking about it carefully, in the few nights after Kaitou Kidd appeared, the number of criminals he encountered during the night watch seemed to have decreased.

Especially tonight, when Dick returned from Wayne Tower, he encountered only three robberies on the road, and under normal circumstances, he encountered five or six times, which is not much.

On this day, Dick found that he had a new understanding of the Kaitou Kidd...

——

The next day, April 2.

On this day, Dean did not come to the Orpheus Jewelry Exhibition Hall. After all, Kidd's hands-on time was on the third day.

Dean was just a magician, not a real detective. He was basically useless when the Kaitou Kidd was not here, and he might even be in danger if he ran into other thieves.

So Dick didn't let Dean come over today.

He and Barbara came to the exhibition hall early, and their task was different from Dean's, to protect the diamond from being stolen.

"What did you say!"

When Dick and Barbara just walked into the exhibition hall, they heard curator Offee's furious roar.

He could only hear him reprimanding two maintenance workers, revealing amazing information inside and out.

"Last night, I watched the two of you walk into the 'Hope Blue Diamond' exhibition hall to maintain equipment, but you told me today that you fell asleep for some reason yesterday, and you didn't have time to complete the maintenance work. At home!"

Curator Offi pointed at one of the maintenance workers and said angrily.

"Then who were you that I saw yesterday? Could it be Kaitou Kidd?"

"And you!"

At this time, he pointed to another maintenance worker.

"I only appointed you and your partner to maintain the exhibition hall at night yesterday morning. How did Kaito Kidd get the news? And you can't even recognize your own work partner?"
