Chapter 25: Kidd the Strange Thief Appears (Collect!) Ask for follow-up! )
The moment he saw the flag, Robin realized that he had been misled by Kidd, the thief.
At first, he thought that Kidd's plan was to swap out a lot of lots and replace them with his own, the wooden box in front of him.
This wooden box will most likely be some kind of remote control mechanism or chronometer mechanism, such as pressing the remote control or reaching a fixed point in time, the box will release a large area of hypnotic smoke, tear gas and even deadly poison gas.
Of course, through the previous habits of the monster thief Kidd, Robin believes that he will most likely not use extreme means such as murder, but after all, precautions must be guarded, and no one can be sure whether the monster thief Kidd is a perverted murderer who likes to hide his nature.
Robin speculates that Kidd the Thief has calculated the time in advance, and the crate will be auctioned before 12 o'clock, and the switch will be triggered when the host introduces the competitors, at which point Kidd the Thief will steal the "Pink Dream" in the riot.
It sounds like a fantasy, but there's actually room for maneuvering.
Kidd the Strange Thief had infiltrated the room where the auction items were temporarily placed, indicating that he knew the number and serial number of the lots in advance.
Then he can deliberately ask for a high price to scare off other bidders to quickly change to the next bidder, or increase the price a little to prolong the bidding time, so as to achieve the purpose of manipulating the auction time.
As for whether Kidd the Monster Thief had that much money to bid, it didn't matter at all, after all, he couldn't participate in the bidding with his real identity, but would definitely disguise himself as someone else.
What's more, Kidd the Monster Thief may also directly disguise himself as the bidding host and personally manipulate the rhythm of the entire auction.
In short, these are not particularly difficult things for Kidd the Monster Thief to do.
Until a few minutes ago, Robin had thought so, and he was here to solve the mechanism of Kidd the Strange Thief, and Gordon and the others began to check everyone in the venue, and finally found out the true face of Kidd the Strange Thief, and everyone was happy.
This time was different from before, no one knew where Kidd the Thief would appear from or where Kidd would escape.
As a result, the police force had to be dispersed, and now most of the police force is concentrated on the eighteenth floor, and the entire auction hall has been surrounded by the GCPD.
In such a situation, it is difficult for Kidd the Monster Thief to fly with his wings.
But it turns out that Kidd the Thief didn't leave any traps here, which means that Robin's reasoning is wrong.
Uh, no, if you really want to talk about it, it's actually a mechanism.
It's just that the role of this mechanism is more like a joke with Robin.
In the surveillance records, the strange thief Kidd three times in a row, seemingly inadvertently, but in fact very deliberately, aimed his gaze at the air vent in the dead corner.
It was this detail that would hardly have been noticed by a normal person that misled Robin into believing that this was the key to cracking the Kidd plan the Monster Thief.
Instead, Robin fell into a trap designed by Kidd, the thief.
"The trap has been triggered."
At the same time, Dean, who was hiding somewhere, looked at the display bar that popped up on his phone, and showed a triumphant smile, "Hmph, Dick, Dick, I know that being smart like you can also be misled, which is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart." ”
"The countdown has begun."
Suddenly, Robin realized that he had almost overlooked a crucial issue -
"Kidd the Thief misled me into coming here, so his real plan was...... Not good! It's 23:58! ”
Robin looked at the time on his watch, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
He immediately rushed out of the room and through the curtain to the auction site.
Then Robin saw that the high-class people who had been bidding one by one a few minutes ago were now suddenly lining up and leaving.
Obviously the auction is not over yet, why did it suddenly end?
Looking at the rows of GCPD police teams next to him, Robin immediately knew what was going on.
Gordon came with a large army to screen the people in the auction, and everyone is currently under police control.
"Now the thief Kidd probably wouldn't dare to act rashly, unless he wasn't among these people......"
Robin looked at the crowd in front of him and thought to himself.
"He shouldn't be able to play the blackout, and according to the surveillance footage of the past few days, apart from the mechanism that misled me, the monster thief Kidd shouldn't have time to set another trap."
It's just that...... Why does it always feel like something isn't right?
Rumble!
Just as he was thinking this, a loud bang rang out without warning.
Immediately afterwards, the lights in the entire auction hall went out instantly, and only the big screen on the presiding stage was still on.
"What! How is this possible? ”
Robin looked in disbelief at the suddenly dark venue.
"I've checked all the surveillance records of the hotel in the last few days, and it's impossible for anyone to have the opportunity to manipulate the power supply equipment...... Wait, do you say-"
At this moment, Robin finally understood why Kidd the Strange Thief had misled him into finding the "surprise".
Time difference! It's all about the time difference!
Delivering the card from the dining room made Robin realize that Kidd the Monster Thief was likely to disguise himself as a waiter, and all Kidd did to prepare was to create a time difference.
Robin, who knew that the thief Kidd had infiltrated him, would definitely want to catch Kidd before he could do it, so if he couldn't find any clues, Robin could only take the initiative to find the traces that Kidd might leave behind.
That is, the waiter 'Tom', by tracking down the monster thief Kidd's fake 'Tom', it is possible to find Kidd's flaws.
In this way, Robin will naturally investigate all of Tom's surveillance records, and Tom has appeared in almost all areas of the eighteenth floor at various times, which means that all the surveillance footage on the eighteenth floor will be adjusted backwards.
When the monitoring records are mobilized, it means that for a period of time, the 'now' surveillance screen will not be visible in the monitoring room, because they are looking at the 'past' surveillance screen!
Even if Kidd the Monster Thief does something during this time and is recorded by the surveillance camera, the surveillance footage will not be seen by the people in the surveillance room, as long as his movements are fast enough, he can create a perfect time difference.
Thinking of this, Robin couldn't help but be shocked by the audacity of the thief Kidd, if Robin found out about the vent before Kidd finished manipulating the power supply equipment, causing the surveillance records to return to normal time......
All of Kidd's plans were in vain.
At this moment, a spotlight suddenly lit up and shone on the center of the podium.
“Ladies~and~Gentlemen!”
A white and flawless gorgeous figure appeared in this light.
“It’s show time!”
