Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

"I don't want to pay attention to any warning letters circulating on the Internet. Aaron, take your men to get rid of this group of spectators. Go now!"

Gordon felt a headache.

What does Kaitou Kidd want to do?

Sending a warning letter to the police station can also mean that he is an extremely confident criminal. Notifying the police in advance is just to show his high IQ. This kind of thing happened many times eight years ago.

But inviting civilians to watch you steal?

Even a crazy person like the Joker wouldn't be able to do this!

Gordon had an intuition that the Phantom Thief who was about to appear might be one of the most difficult opponents in his career. No, maybe not "one".

According to Gordon's past experience, no matter what the purpose of this strange thief is to spread the news, it cannot be what he wants. Since he wants people to swarm in, then Gordon has to leave the place empty!

"Hey! Commissioner Gordon, you have no right to drive us away. The Gotham Exhibition Hall is a public place! And we are here to participate in the exhibition!"

Seeing Aaron calling hundreds of Gotham police officers behind him to drive these reporters out, the reporter in the peaked hat immediately shouted.

"Okay, okay...which newspaper reporter are you from? Why have I never seen you?"

Gordon suddenly stared sharply at the cap, startling the reporter.

"I'm sorry, sir, you know very well what the current situation means, and I have to doubt you... What's more, your face has been hidden under the brim of the hat from the beginning. You don't want others to see your face clearly, right? "

"Hey! Commissioner Gordon, are you suspecting that I am the thief with a crazy mind?"

After being startled, the peaked cap came to his senses and immediately raised his head, revealing the face of a decadent young man covered with stubble.

"My name is Eddie Brock, I'm not a reporter from Gotham, I'm from the New York Daily Bugle and this is my ID."

Eddie took out his ID and handed it to Gordon, and said quickly: "I know it doesn't make sense for a New York reporter to show up here, but in fact I just came here for vacation and happened to learn about this."

The Daily Bugle is considered a relatively well-known newspaper in the United States. Gordon took the work permit and found that there was nothing wrong with it, but he still did not rule out the possibility of forging the certificate.

There was also a coincidental vacation that made Gordon even more suspicious of Eddie.

Gordon winked at Aaron, and Aaron immediately understood and called the Daily Bugle to confirm Eddie's statement.

Soon, Aaron hung up the phone and nodded to Gordon. What Eddie said was true.

Although he always felt something was wrong, Eddie was obviously cleared of suspicion, and Gordon had no choice but to apologize to Eddie.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there are a few things I have to say."

Eddie was open-minded and did not care about everything that had happened before. On the contrary, he showed a strong interest in this incident.

"Listen, officers, I know that Gotham's peace has been maintained by you all these years, and at the same time, the last thing you want to see is the recurrence of the chaos here eight years ago."

"So this sudden appearance of Kaito Kidd has brought back some of your memories and made you so anxious that you want to drive these innocent civilians out of the exhibition hall..."

"Believe me, gentlemen, this decision is not only illegal, it's even stupid!"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, the irritable Aaron immediately yelled out.

"I don't know why Kaitou Kidd announced his plan to the public, but I know one thing, that is, stealing will always happen when no one is around, otherwise it will become robbery."

Gordon's point is clear.

"You mean he did this on purpose to mislead us?"

"Otherwise? Oh yes, of course it is also possible that the so-called Kaitou Kidd is just a cover from beginning to end. It is just a joke. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the absurdity of the thief needing people to watch."

"More importantly, the notice has spread throughout Gotham, and a steady stream of people will come here. You can't drive everyone away. After all, the exhibition is for the entire Gotham, not a specific group of people."

Gordon nodded. Eddie was right. He really couldn't stop people from attending the exhibition, but he still felt something was wrong.

This was an indescribable intuition. Gordon didn't believe it was a pretense, but he really couldn't think of anyone who could steal the Adam Star under the gaze of countless people.

So what if he got mixed into the crowd? The huge flow of people would block all his escape routes, making it difficult to escape at all.

The police only need to strictly guard all exits, and even top thieves like Catwoman will not be able to escape...

No!

There is another possibility!

That is, Kaitou Kidd is real, but stealing things is fake. His real purpose is to gather people to the exhibition hall and then carry out a bombing attack!

It's in line with Gotham's folk customs to commit a crime like this!

Seeing Gordon thinking deeply all the time, "Eddie" couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Should I say that he is indeed Jim Gordon... I am still hesitating now. I know that the exhibition hall will never be closed due to the notice letter, but I still want to prevent people from gathering here..."

That's right, this "Eddie" is not Eddie, but is pretended by McGison!

Of course, Eddie Brock is indeed a real person, and it is also true that he came to Gotham by accident after receiving the notice letter.

As for the real Eddie, he should still be sleeping soundly in his car...

Being a reporter is a good job. You can legitimately ask the police various questions, including some of their arrangements, and you won't be suspected even if you don't get answers.

As for why McGison wanted to spread his warning letter, it was one reason to facilitate infiltration, but more importantly...

Wouldn't it be a failure if there was no audience for Kaitou Kidd's first show?

"you're right."

Seeing more and more civilians coming after hearing the news, Gordon sighed.

"Aaron, lead your team to guard the gate for me. It's still a long time before the exhibition starts. During this period, no one is allowed to enter the museum!"

"Besides the main entrance, there is only a narrow back entrance to the exhibition hall. Only two police officers can guard it."

Gordon first ordered an experienced veteran police officer, and then shouted to a young police officer at the back of the team: "Rookie, you should follow too!"

"Yes, sir."

McGison glanced at the young police officer. Based on the "rookie" title, he should be a newcomer to the GCPD.

The newcomer in this time period is probably the John Blake, the future Robin.

"By the way, no one is allowed in, including these reporters!"

Gordon took a deep look at "Eddie", and McGison saw some suspicion in his eyes.

Even with the confirmation from the Daily Bugle, Gordon still felt uneasy.

"Sure enough, I was overthinking it. I originally thought that journalists would have a lot of rights in a free country, but the police's arrangements would not be made public no matter how hard I thought about it."

Magison didn't feel panic. This was expected. After all, his status as a reporter allowed him to observe many police officers at close range...

Gordon ignored the barking reporters and led hundreds of his subordinates into the exhibition hall.

Aaron and a team of police officers stayed at the main entrance. Including the first dozen security guards, there were nearly thirty people in total, all of whom were armed with live ammunition.

They stood in a row and blocked the entrance, so no one dared to come forward.

At this time, no one noticed that the reporter "Eddie" from New York was missing...

After the arrangements for the entrance and exit were completed, Gordon led the large troops into the exhibition hall and deployed all defense lines.

John Blake followed his predecessor to the back door. It was still a dark alley as always. It must be said that this was very Gotham.
