Chapter 15: The Last Details (Collect!) Ask for follow-up! )

"Huh?"

Hearing someone calling himself, Dick looked up and looked at Dean suspiciously.

"Dean? What did you just say? ”

"I mean, do you think you're so obsessed with something? Now the school looks like a riddle guessing challenge is going on. ”

Dean pointed to the messy classroom behind him, his face showing interest, just like the rest of his classmates.

"I've heard a lot of answers from people, and they all have different opinions, but they all make a lot of sense. Dick, you're the smartest person I've ever known, and I'd like to hear what you think of the teaser letter. ”

"How can you be as smart as you say? I'm just looking at it, maybe I don't think as well as others. ”

Dick smiled at Dean, saying that he was just watching and playing.

"You say this like someone doesn't just look at it, just say it casually, don't worry, even if your explanation is outrageous, I won't laugh at you."

Dean naturally hooked Dick's shoulder and teased.

"Okay, then I'll just say it, in fact, I didn't completely unravel the contents of this notice letter, only partially identified."

Hearing this, Dean's heart moved, Dick's words were "not completely unraveled" and "confirmed", which meant that he had already unraveled most of the content.

And though he didn't say it explicitly, Dick was clearly very confident in his interpretation.

Dick lowered his head to look at the teaser letter, pointed to it, and said, "The feast of the nobility is luxurious and noisy, and this sentence is the most straightforward sentence, referring to the auction that gathers the upper class people next Saturday, and then when Chronos returns to square one......"

As soon as he said this, Dean suddenly interrupted him.

"Wait, what about the tragedy in the middle where no one remembers Troy?"

"That ......," Dick scratched his head in embarrassment, "this is the part I haven't solved, and if I insist on understanding the tragedy of Troy as the cause of the war, Helen, or the Trojan Horse Massacre at the end, although it can be explained, I always think it's too far-fetched." ”

"It's a bit far-fetched for you to say that."

Dean nodded solemnly and echoed.

"When Chronos returned to square one, it was about the time of Kidd, the strange thief."

Dick continued.

"Chronos is one of the three major sects of Greek mythology, the god of origin believed in by Orpheus, is the first cause of all things in the universe, and also symbolizes time, Chronos returns to the origin is to return to the source of time, of course, it is impossible for the thief Kidd to travel through time, so this sentence means the beginning of the day, that is, 0:00."

"And finally—Hermes will appear in the spotlight to expose the final hoax."

Dick cupped his chin with his hands and said, "Hermes is talking about the thief Kidd himself, because Hermes is the patron saint of thieves, and it is the most appropriate name to use it, and most of the deception revealed is related to the rumors of the 'world's largest pink diamond' that is about to be auctioned." ”

"When you look at it all together, it seems that Kidd the Monster Thief's goal is not to steal anything, but to expose a hoax......

At this, Dick began to show a contemplative expression again, his face full of bewilderment, and even his voice became lower and lower.

"Just, why would he do that?"

"What was Kidd's motive for committing the crime? If he is not interested in money, why should he steal precious stones? ”

Looking at Dick, who was deep in thought, Dean gave him an approving look.

is worthy of being taught by Batman, and it only took such a short time to interpret the teaser letter to the last detail.

"However, even if you interpret it, you may not be able to understand my plan, it is better to say that this notice letter is meant to be understood."

There was a gleam in Dean's eyes, and a conversation with Dick had already let him know that the wonder boy was following his own pace.

He shook Dick's shoulder, shaking him from his deep thought.

"Hey! Dick, what were you thinking? ”

Dick came back to his senses and smiled dryly, "I'm sorry, I was thinking too deeply about the problem just now. ”

At this point, Dick suddenly turned his head to stare at Dean and said, "Dean, I want to ask you a question." ”

"What?"

"Do you know a magician who is so proud of his magic talent that he can't be satisfied with just performing on stage, and then has the idea of using magic to do some criminal act to attract attention?"

Dick asked very seriously.

"Or, have you ever heard of the down-and-out magician who thinks he's talented, but doesn't get the chance to show it, and tries to prove himself by committing a crime?"

"Dean, you're the best magician I've ever known, and you know more about the people and things in this circle than I do."

"You're asking if you can find out who the thief Kidd is through the magician's identity, right?"

After listening to Dick's question, Dean really thought seriously for a while, and then said, "Seriously, there are more magicians in Gotham who will have similar ideas, just like the clowns in the circus who want to kill people." ”

"However, it is very rare for a magician to reach the level of Kidd the Strange Thief, and there are no more than twenty well-known magicians, including me, and as for whether there is a hidden genius among those unknown down-and-out magicians, then I don't know."

Dean did not deliberately reduce his suspicion of being the thief Kidd, but directly showed that he did have the corresponding ability.

After all, this is public information, and the emphasis on one thing that I can't be Kidd seems even more suspicious.

"Twenty...... Thanks to Dean. Dick nodded knowingly.

"Then again, why are you suddenly asking this?"

At this time, Dean deliberately showed an inquiring expression and stared at Dick for a long time.

"I remember when everyone talked about Kidd the Strange Thief before, you didn't look interested, why did you suddenly start to get curious today?"

Dean asked Dick suspiciously.

"Also, you've been very positive in the past whenever there has been news about supercriminals, but you never seem to be interested in Batman and Robin...... I said Dick, are you supposed to be? ”

Of course, Dean knew why Dick suddenly asked about the magician, he was Robin, he was a superhero, and it was normal to want to catch the supervillain Kidd.

As Robin and Batman are close, it is normal for Dick not to be cold when outsiders speculate about Batman's unwarranted speculation.

But the problem is, Dick doesn't know that Dean knows that he is Robin.

Faced with Dean's sharp eyes staring directly at him, Dick was stunned for a moment.

"Are you supposed to be...... A member of the fan club of super criminals, right? ”

Dean asked thoughtfully.

Dick: "......"
