Chapter 9: Vicky Vale (Collect!) Ask for follow-up! )
"Alright, no kidding."
Dean waved his hand and said casually, "I understand your feelings, Dick." ”
"You're from the Wayne family, God knows how many valuable treasures in this city belong to your family, and you might be stolen by the monster thief Kidd one day, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable hearing others talk about the monster thief."
"What? I didn't think so! ”
Dick was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously retorted.
"I just don't think a criminal should be welcomed."
He stared at Dean solemnly, earnestly.
"Dean, what do you think? Do you like Kidd the Thief as much as everyone else? ”
"I want to say that you're right! I agree with Ling's opinion, criminals are always criminals, and Kidd will be caught sooner or later if he is so arrogant, and everyone will see his true colors when the time comes. ”
Under Dick's gaze, Dean shook his head heavily and said.
"That's right, I ...... GCPD and Batman and Robin won't let Kidd get away with it! ”
With Dean's approval, Dick's face suddenly fluttered.
"But at first I thought you'd like Kidd's faction, because that guy looks and works like a magician."
Dick shrugged his shoulders and casually mentioned, "You're also a magician, so I guess I'll feel a little close to him, although I don't know much about magicians." ”
"Who said that being a fellow magician makes you feel close?"
Dean raised his eyebrows, his eyes widened, and his face was full of disdain.
"Haven't you heard the saying 'peers are enemies'? And those two can also be called magicians? Isn't he just using a dummy smoke bomb or something, these are just the most basic introductory techniques in magic, if I were the monster thief Kidd, I would definitely be able to do better than him. ”
After listening to Dean's unashamed speech, Dick fell silent for a while.
But in a way, Dean's words are really convincing, one side is a genius magician who has become famous at a young age, and the other side is a mysterious thief who has just appeared.
The latter's current intelligence is very limited, and the ability to show is too little, while the former's strength has been tested in the Gotham Grand Theater, and it does have arrogant capital.
"Well, you're awesome."
It took a long time for Dick to spit out such a sentence.
Jingle Bell –
At this time, the bell rang for class, and a middle-aged teacher who was extremely smart walked into the classroom.
Dean duly turned back and sat down, into a state of study.
At least on the surface.
"Wasn't I being too pompous? Did Dick's mention of being a magician make me nervous? ”
With his back to Dick, Dean pondered in his head.
"Don't overthink it! Keep a poker face, Dick has no reason to suspect me, what if I'm a magician? The magicians of the world are gone, and it is impossible for this suspicion to fall on me. ”
With a certain thought, Dean suppressed the thoughts in his mind for a while, he didn't need to clear himself now, just stay normal.
Later, Dick is also brainstorming.
"I think I'm just crazy, Kidd the Thief can't be Dean! It's all to blame for Ah Fu last night who inadvertently said something about a classmate of mine who seems to be also a magician, which made me have this kind of unreasonable and absurd speculation. ”
"It must have been too lax some time ago, which caused me to miss catching the monster thief Kidd yesterday, which made me a little nervous."
So, after a simple self-psychological counseling, both of them thought that they were thinking too much.
Time passed little by little, and soon it was four o'clock in the afternoon.
As the school bell rang, the teacher on the podium closed the books as quickly as possible, and walked out of the classroom after the class, with smooth movements and no mud and water.
It is impossible to drag the hall, not in this life.
Dean casually cleaned up his desk and was about to leave the school, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.
"Hey! Suston, Grayson, want to play together? ”
When he turned his head, he saw a mid-point boy in a black shirt and gray suspenders, with a basketball at his waist, waving to Dean and Dick, and there were three or five boys beside him.
"Not today, Aikun, I have a very important event in the evening."
Dick was the first to turn down the offer, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.
Because as soon as he had said this, he jumped straight out of the window and ran straight to the school gate.
Of course, the classroom is on the first floor, and there is no possibility of falling injuries.
Seeing that he was missing a playmate, Aikun looked at Dean expectantly.
"Oh! I'm going back to practicing magic now, you know, I've got to get ready for next month's prom show, so I can't play with you. ”
Dean spread his hands and said helplessly.
"That's a shame."
Aikun's face was a little disappointed, but he couldn't force someone else to pull together, so he went to the court with a few boys around him.
Dean didn't take the little episode to heart, he got home as fast as he could, and there was one more very important thing to do in the evening.
That is to send away the "blood and tears of angels" rubies.
Dean changed into a plain casual suit, put on a peaked cap, and left the house with a few face masks.
At night, on the 29th floor of the Gotham Gazette Building, the office of celebrity female journalist Vicky Weil.
Vicky stopped the press release she had been writing for a long time, stretched, and smiled with satisfaction after checking it a few times to make sure there were no major problems.
I have to say that these two days were one of her most beautiful days.
Because of the front-page news of Kidd the Thief, the sales of the Gotham Gazette newspaper skyrocketed, and as a reporter, Vicky's fame also rose a lot.
It all started a few days ago, before the case of Kidd the Strange Thief had happened, and Dean sent a notice letter to all the major media organizations in Gotham in order to increase his exposure as much as possible.
But at that time, no one had heard of this name at all, and the content of the notice letter was also written in a fog, so naturally few people took the notice letter seriously.
It's just that Vicky Weil is one of the alternatives.
She had personally interviewed Two-Face, Penguin, Riddler, Scarecrow, and many other supercriminals in Arkham Asylum, and the first time she saw Kidd's teaser, she thought it was the kind of thing that Riddler would write.
Of course, Edward Nigmar, the Riddler, was still being held in the Arkham Asylum at this time, and it was unlikely that he would be the one who wrote the teaser.
This is also the opinion of the vast majority of people, and everyone thinks that this notice is a prank.
Only Vicky Vale didn't think so, and although she wasn't sure herself, she felt it was worth the gamble.
Luckily, she was right, and not only was she one of the few journalists to go to the museum, but she also captured a close-up of Kidd the Monster Thief from the best possible angle.
This makes Kidd the Thief stealing Angel Blood and Tears almost an exclusive to Vicky.
