Chapter 24: Surprised, Not Surprised? (Collect!) Ask for follow-up! )

In the surveillance footage, every once in a while, Kidd, a monster thief dressed as 'Tom', will leave the restaurant and appear in the hallway, and each time he appears in a different position, this time in the corridor on the left, and then he runs to the corridor on the right.

And every time he is with another person or even several people, it is basically difficult to see him alone when he haunts.

So much so that the policemen in the monitoring room watched the monitoring here for most of the day, and they didn't see anything wrong.

Tom was dressed in the work clothes of a waiter in a restaurant, and there were so many people in the same clothes that he couldn't count them in the hallways.

In addition, he has always acted with others, and has never made any obvious suspicious moves.

If you hadn't known in advance that there was something wrong with this 'Tom', it would have been difficult for anyone else to find out what was wrong.

The coverage of a single surveillance camera is limited, and a total of fifteen cameras were installed throughout the eighteen floors to monitor the main passages and locations.

That's right, there is only a symbolic surveillance camera installed in the public entertainment area of the auction venue, and there is not even a single surveillance camera in the auction venue.

The reason is simple, Gotham's pretentious elite is very concerned about privacy issues, they don't like surveillance, and they don't like a large group of police officers in police uniforms standing in line of sight.

So if Gordon wants to understand the situation inside, he can only rely on dozens of plainclothes police officers who have been inserted inside.

After all, this is a hotel, not a prison, and it is impossible to consider installing 360-degree monitoring without dead ends at the beginning of the establishment.

"Here, here, and here, rewind seven, twenty-two, and seventeen minutes, respectively."

Suddenly, Robin pointed to three of the surveillance screens.

"Do as he says."

Gordon followed.

Several police officers snapped and operated, and immediately adjusted the three screens to the corresponding time points.

You can see that 'Tom' is present in all three images.

"You see, even though it's three different angles of surveillance cameras, it's actually in the same location."

Robin prompted.

"That's right, it's a corner location, with three cameras in the middle of the two hallways and at the top of the corner."

Several police officers said in unison.

"Look at the strange thief Kidd in these pictures again, he appears in different positions, but at a certain moment, he in the three pictures is vaguely looking at the same position, passing this corner three times in a row, his eyes are focused on one direction, isn't it strange?"

Robin looked at him with a deep gaze and said, "Is there anything there that needs to be confirmed by him repeatedly?" ”

"Notify the patrol team in the vicinity and go to ...... immediately"

Gordon reacted quickly and immediately prepared to order his men to go down and look around the corner.

"No, Director Gordon, I'll go alone."

Robin stopped Gordon's action and said solemnly, "We can't be sure if Kidd the Monster Thief will set a trap there, it's too dangerous to let someone from the GCPD go over to investigate!" ”

"You're still an underage child, it's even more dangerous to let you go alone!"

Gordon frowned and retorted.

"Don't underestimate me, the monsters I've dealt with, you can't even dream of it."

Robin smiled slightly, patted his chest and said.

"And you have more important things to do, the situation at the auction site is unknown, I suspect that the thief Kidd has probably infiltrated in disguise, if the people in the venue are screened again, there may be hope to force out the thief Kidd."

With that, Robin rushed out of the monitoring room without looking back.

"Wait, Robin!"

Gordon hurried out.

However, when he rushed out of the door of the monitoring room, there was still a trace of Robin in front of him.

The whole process was only two or three seconds, and Robin's departure from Gordon's sight was just a blink of an eye.

"Shet! Again......"

Gordon couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, how did the people of the Bat family practice this kind of body method that disappears in a blink of an eye?

He even asked Batman privately if he had a superpower that teleported, but Batman didn't speak at the time, and Gordon didn't follow suit.

Because the former's foolish look had already told Gordon the answer......

"It's 23:35, and there's still twenty-five minutes left before Kidd the Monster Thief predicts, and if he's a punctual man, then I'll still have time."

Robin, who left the monitoring room on the twentieth floor, ran all the way and quickly rushed to the corner shown in the surveillance.

He scrutinized the corner, remembering where Kidd the Monster Thief had appeared in the surveillance and the direction in which the latter's gaze had been directed.

Putting everything together, Robin found that five paces away from his current position at nine o'clock, there was just a blind spot for surveillance.

Immediately afterward, Robin looked up at the ceiling of the surveillance corner, and saw that there was a vent there, and the barbed wire of the vent still had obvious signs of disassembly.

On this floor, there are many similar vents, but they are basically within the monitoring range, and only this one vent is in the monitoring corner.

"I see, he's looking for this."

Robin pondered, "According to the path of normal ventilation ducts, the location that can be quickly reached from here is ...... Isn't that right? ”

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Robin's mind, and a triumphant smile appeared, "I see. ”

At this time, he looked at the time again, 23:40, which was quite abundant.

Robin pulled out his hook gun and shot it at the vent, the barbed wire that had been dismantled once was already a little loose, and it was pulled off by the hook at once.

Then Robin put away the hook and lock gun, jumped up and kicked at the wall, grabbed the vent, and climbed up with ease.

A few minutes later, Robin elbowed through the barbed wire fence of another vent and jumped.

He came to a closed room with no lights, no doors or windows, and the only light came in from behind a curtain.

I can still hear sounds like something, once, twice.

"Sure enough, it leads here, a place to place the bidding items temporarily."

Robin looked deeper into the room, and the rows of tables were filled with a variety of items sealed in glass cases, all of which were bidding for today.

However, Kidd the Thief's target "Pink Fantasy" is not here, as the treasure that is too valuable will be stored in another secret safe and will not be available here until filming begins.

The "Pink Dream" is the grand finale of the auction and will not be unveiled until the last minute.

"The feast of the nobility was extravagant and noisy, and no one remembered the tragedy of Troy...... That's what it meant. ”

Robin went into the corner and looked at the second-to-last competitor according to the serial number—a strange wooden box.

The wooden box is not very large, there is no lock, the appearance looks very new, and it does not look like a valuable antique at all.

"It's probably something that Kidd the Strange Thief dropped, what could it be inside?"

Robin groaned for a moment, unsure if he should turn it on.

Without long hesitation, Robin suddenly took out a gas mask and put it on himself, and then resolutely opened the wooden box.

Bang!

An explosion sounded, and a white flag popped out from the bottom of the box.

The banner features a cartoon portrait of Kidd the Thief, as well as a catchy slogan.

"Surprised? Not surprised? ”
