Chapter 8: Shocked! GCPD and Robin teamed up to defeat a thief
Gordon scrambled to his feet from the flower bed, and even the cigarette he had just lit fell to the ground.
"You mean, during the two hours that the security guard was unconscious, Kidd the Monster Thief pretended to be him in the museum, and even his long-time acquaintances didn't recognize him?"
Gordon asked with a solemn face.
Indeed, if Kidd the Thief had this ability, it would explain why they couldn't find any clues.
It's not that the surveillance camera didn't capture Kidd the Monster Thief, but it couldn't be determined which of the people who photographed Kidd the Thief.
Bullock glanced at the cigarette on the ground with a pitiful gaze, then turned around and said, "Jim, do you remember the four police officers who guarded the gems before?" They said you personally asked them to move their jobs. ”
Hearing Bullock mention this, Gordon immediately understood.
"They weren't lying, but what they saw wasn't me, but Kidd, the thief pretending to be me!"
"Based on the information we have so far, this is the only conclusion."
Brock concluded.
"I'm afraid that ordinary disguise techniques can't do this effect."
Gordon pondered for a moment and said, "It reminds me of that guy in Arkham." ”
"Mudface, do you think Kidd the Strange Thief might have something to do with him?"
Bullock's face suddenly became serious, but none of the people who might have anything to do with that group of madmen were easy to deal with.
"I'm not sure yet, I'll have to go to Arkham Asylum to talk to Mudface."
Gordon set his agenda for tomorrow on the spot.
"There shouldn't be anything to be found in the museum, so let's get the queue closed."
With that, the two gathered their subordinates together and left the museum.
-----------------
The next day, a piece of news caused a stir among all the citizens of Gotham.
"Shocked! GCPD and Robin teamed up to defeat a thief? ”
This article occupies the entire front page of the Gotham Gazette, providing a detailed account of yesterday's crime against Kidd, the thief.
A large close-up photo was also published in the newspaper of Kidd the Thief when he first appeared in the exhibition hall, being spotlighted.
The white dress, the elegant manners, the slender figure, the monocle full of mysterious reflections......
reveals a strange charm that clearly can't see the face clearly, but it makes people feel that the strange thief Kidd must be handsome.
"Who is the photographer who created this photo? The level is quite high, and it almost took a tenth of my charm. ”
In the fourth-year classroom of Gotham High School, in the penultimate row of window seats, Dean read the newspaper he had just bought today, and thought shamelessly.
Dean looked at the name of the report, a female reporter named Vicky Vale.
"Vicky Vale, who seems to be quite famous in Gotham, is said to have a leg with billionaire Bruce Wayne?"
Dean's eyes flickered, and a thought came to mind.
"I was still thinking about how to return the gems, maybe this is a good choice......
In the classroom, apart from Dean, there is obviously more than one student who is interested in Kidd the Monster Thief.
The chatter of Kidd kept ringing in Dean's ears.
"Did you read today's news? There's a new super criminal in Gotham! ”
"Of course, the GCPD and the media call him 'Strange Thief Kid,' which is a bit of a strange name, but it's much better than 'two faces' or something."
Some people have heard of it, and naturally some people have not heard of it.
"What strange thief? What are you talking about? ”
A classmate who obviously didn't like to watch the news couldn't understand the heated discussion around him, and asked with a confused face.
The classmate sitting next to him rolled his eyes, "Brother, you really have to get in touch with this society, so as not to derail the times." ”
"We're talking about a super-criminal named Kidd the Monster Thief who stole the 'Angel's Tears of Blood' ruby at the Gotham Museum of Art yesterday, and it was stolen while GCPD and Robin were present at the same time!"
“GCPD? It's not surprising that the gem was stolen, but then again, it's not easy for the thief Kidd to be able to steal the gem in front of Robin and get out. ”
"And even more simple, the strange thief Kidd is different from other thieves, it is said that he sent a notice letter to the museum and the police several days before the crime, and even said the time, place and method."
"Huh? Didn't the police know in advance that he was going to steal? It is entirely possible to set traps specifically. ”
"That said, it turns out that Kidd the Monster Thief will be able to steal the gem."
"I really don't know if it's because Kidd is too powerful, or if GCPD is too incompetent......"
Students who didn't watch the news couldn't help but complain.
"It's Gotham, just get used to it."
The male classmates had a lively discussion about the strange thief Kidd, and the female classmates did not show weakness at all.
Compared with the boys, they pay more attention to how powerful the thief Kidd is, and the girls focus on his appearance and charm.
Who can say no to a handsome guy who is full of mystery?
"Humph!"
Just as Dean listened to the chatter of his classmates around him with relish, and his heart was dark, a cold snort came from behind him.
"Yo, Master Dick, what's the matter? Who you off? ”
Dean looked back and said with a hippie smile.
Behind Dean sat a dark-haired boy of his age, named Richard Grayson, who had been friends since high school.
Dick is Richard's nickname and his most commonly used name, and he will also refer to himself as Dick Grayson when introduced to others.
They have a lot in common, their age, height, and pupil color are very similar, and even the orphans have the same background.
It's just that Dick was adopted after the death of his parents, and the person who adopted him was still the super-rich Bruce Wayne.
That's right, it's the legendary Batman.
Dean had little contact with DC Comics in his previous life, but he still knew that Batman was called Bruce Wayne.
Then from Bruce's identity, it is obvious who Dick is.
Batman's partner Robin, who is of the right age and figure, is him nine times out of ten.
Of course, Dean had kept it to himself, and Dick didn't know that the former already knew his secret.
Dick snorted just now, probably remembering the mistake of catching the monster thief Kidd last night, and he was in a bad mood.
"Say, Dick, tell me what you're not happy about, and make me happy."
The corners of Dean's mouth curled, and he said to Dick with a wicked smile.
"Hey! We are friends, don't you have a bad conscience if you make fun of me like this? ”
Dick replied with a grimace.
"Just because we're friends, I need to know what's on your mind, because maybe you need my counseling, you know, I've taken a psychology course."
Dean's face suddenly straightened, and he stared at Dick and said solemnly.
"Hah! yes, clinical psychology in children – do you think you have a lot of humor? ”
Dick folded his hands and twitched at the corners of his mouth.
