Chapter 23: Investigation and Monitoring (Collect!) Ask for follow-up! )

Dean rolled his eyes and quickly guessed where Dick had gone.

Then he got up from his seat.

"Where do you want to go?"

Luck, who was beside him, couldn't help but ask strangely when he saw that "Gray Letard Ethan" got up for no reason.

"Oh, I just need ...... Go to the toilet, you know, I just ate a little too much. ”

Dean scoffed.

"That's why you're always so fat that it's not even convenient to walk."

Luck glanced at Dean in disgust and sat down with his leg slightly to the right, as this was the only way to get "Gray Letard" down the not-so-narrow aisle.

Fortunately, the two of them were in the very edge corner, and Dean passed Lark to the outer staircase.

After coming out, Dean quietly left the auction venue.

Just as Dean left through the side door of the auction venue, another person in the venue also left......

On the other side, the back kitchen on the first floor of the Gotham International Hotel.

While everyone was busy working, there was a sudden knock on the kitchen door.

The sudden sound startled everyone, and they all turned their heads to look at the door.

I saw a teenager wearing a red tight top, green leggings, and an eye patch on his face walk in.

On his shoulders was a young man wearing only a thin shirt and shorts, who was sleeping soundly.

The look on the faces of the kitchen staff was even more surprised when they saw the young man on the teenager's shoulder.

"That's not Tom! Is the person carrying him Robin? ”

"I remember Tom should have been sent to the eighteenth floor to serve the plates, how could he be brought by Robin in a coma?"

"Wait!"

At this time, an employee who cuts salmon suddenly exclaims, "Do you remember that the GCPD said that Kidd the Strange Thief would be disguised as someone else?" The person in front of us doesn't have to be Tom! Maybe Robin caught Kidd, a monster thief disguised as Tom! ”

"That makes sense, but how can we be sure that Kidd the Thief is disguised as Tom? Maybe Robin is the one the thief Kidd is pretending! ”

Another employee who grinded the meat asked rhetorically.

Robin didn't explain too much, just put the sleeping Tom on the ground and said lightly, "I found him on the roof of the hotel, and the strange thief Kidd knocked him unconscious".

With that, Robin turned and left the kitchen.

Soon after, the monitoring room on the twentieth floor of the hotel.

GCPD Director Jim Gordon and several elite intelligence group minions stayed here, staring intently at dozens of surveillance footage across the wall.

"It's been more than an hour since the auction began, and I haven't found anything out of the ordinary, will the thief Kidd really come?"

One of the subordinates blinked a little dry eyes, picked up the coffee brewed on the table, and took a sip.

"Don't be careless, it's not even twelve o'clock midnight that Kidd predicted, and anything can happen in between."

Gordon's face sank, and he alerted his subordinates.

"That's right, and in fact, Kidd the Monster Thief has infiltrated the hotel."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Gordon.

"What people!"

Several police officers in the surveillance room instantly turned around and pulled out their pistols and pointed them at the person behind them.

"Robin?"

Gordon looked at the visitor in surprise, and his face was about to soothe when he suddenly remembered that the strange thief Kidd would change his face, and even stared at Robin with his eyes wary.

"How do you prove you're not the thief Kidd?"

Robin was silent for a moment, and then out of nowhere, he pulled out a golden badge with the word law engraved on it.

"Remember this? When Batman first took me to the bat lantern a few years ago, you gave me a souvenir and said it was a symbol of our partnership. ”

Seeing the badge, Gordon's face looked much better, and he almost believed Robin in his heart, but he still had the last trace of doubt.

"You may have stolen it from that kid, not many people know about the badge, but there are still a few people in Gotham who can find out, and you have to say something that only the two of us know, at least one thing."

Gordon said toughly.

"Okay, I think I'm going to say that ......"

Robin shook his head helplessly, then touched his chin and said, "How's the pipe thing?" Director Gordon, you used to smoke regular cigarettes like everyone else, but then because Batman often appears behind you, he always scares you and causes the cigarette in your mouth to fall to the ground, and then you change your pipe and smoke it in your hand. ”

"Oh - I'll just tell you how the director started smoking with an old pipe for no reason, at first I thought he was starting to like retro style, but I didn't expect the real reason to be this!"

A policeman next to him showed a suddenly realized expression and said to his colleagues next to him.

Gordon glanced at him expressionlessly, didn't speak, just glanced faintly and turned back to look at Robin again.

"You've proven yourself, Robin, so what did you mean when you said Kidd the Monster Thief had infiltrated?"

"I found an unconscious man on the rooftop of the hotel, his name was Tom, a staff member in the kitchen on the first floor, but the people in the kitchen had been working with 'Tom' until I found Tom unconscious."

Robin hid the fact that Kidd the Monster Thief had given him a personal challenge on an impromptu basis, and only told the story of how Tom had been discovered.

"Apparently, Kidd the Monster Thief infiltrated the hotel disguised as Tom, and I came here to investigate Tom's movements through surveillance."

"Quick! Mobilize monitoring and push back the clock! ”

Gordon immediately gave orders to his subordinates.

The stakes were so high that several other police officers immediately set up operations on the monitoring station.

The footage began to advance until about two hours ago, when a man who looked like Tom came out of the kitchen on the first floor and pushed a cart full of ingredients into the elevator.

Robin watched Tom's every move in the picture.

Then something was wrong, and I saw that 'Tom' in the surveillance record was pushing the cart and quietly looking left and right.

The range of movement of his head turning his head was very light, and if he didn't observe it carefully, he wouldn't have noticed it at all, and Gordon and the others were facing dozens of surveillance screens at the same time, and it was normal not to notice it at the time.

Continue to view the monitoring logs.

After arriving at the eighteenth floor restaurant as a waiter, Tom's actions became even more eccentric.

(PS: A little mention, the auction was set to start at 7 o'clock in the evening, but then it felt that 7 o'clock was a little too early, so I changed the previous time to 9 o'clock, and I will explain it to the old readers who are following it here)
