Chapter 27: It's a Smoke Bomb! I put smoke bombs (beg for collection!) Ask for follow-up! )
Listening to the requests for support from various patrols, Gordon's face turned pale.
At present, all the "Strange Thief Kidd" that have been discovered have been combined, and the total number has exceeded twenty, distributed in various corners of the entire eighteenth floor.
It is unknown which ones are dummies, which ones are real people, and even whether there are real people at all.
How did Kidd the Monster Thief manage to release dummies in so many places?
"Could it be that in the less than thirty minutes that I went to investigate the surveillance, Kidd the Monster Thief not only manipulated the power supply equipment, but also spread a huge number of dummies? How is this possible? How is it possible that so many dummies have been hidden until now and no one has found out? ”
On the stage, Robin's face was equally ugly.
They were ahead of Kidd the Monster Thief at almost every step, and they were completely calculated to death.
Since becoming Robin, I have fought so many criminals in Gotham, and it is only when I have faced the Riddler, the Two-Face, the Penguin, and even the Clown.
Although Robin and the others have been following Kidd's expectations, not every one of them guessed wrong.
For example, they used to think that Kidd the Strange Thief was hiding in the crowd of bidders......
At this moment, Dean is indeed disguised as someone, and on the surface he hides calmly in the depths of the crowd.
In fact, his current situation is very delicate.
All the bidders were still within the lines of defense built by the police, and if Gordon suddenly opened his mind, he would be sure that Kidd the Monster Thief would be hiding in the crowd, and that the ones outside were all fake.
Then order his subordinates to start gathering the defense line on the spot, make an airtight encirclement, and then check everyone's identity one by one, then the situation will be turned around in an instant, putting Dean in a disadvantageous position.
But this will inevitably give up the pursuit of those "strange thieves Kidd" outside who do not know the truth or falsehood, because the GCPD's police resources are limited, and it is impossible to ensure that no one can escape from the encirclement and at the same time allocate police forces to catch dummies.
The question is, who can be sure where Kidd the Strange Thief really is?
Who would dare to bet on this?
Robin said he dared.
"Ignore the dummies scurrying around, they're all smoke bombs from Kidd the Monster Thief!"
Robin came to Gordon's side and said with a serious face.
"No matter what unbelievable things he does, don't forget his ultimate goal - Pink Dream!"
Hearing this, Gordon immediately came to his senses, and he quickly ordered someone to call the auction host, Manager Cicero, over.
Manager Cicero was right at the front of the crowd and was soon brought to Gordon.
"What's the situation? These strips don't go to catch the thief Kidd, what are you looking for me? Don't...... Did they know the secret of the pink diamond fraud? ”
Thinking of this, Cicero felt a pang of apprehension in his heart, and his eyes kept dodging under Gordon's sharp gaze.
This unusual behavior quickly made Gordon suspicious, and without saying a word, he rushed up and grabbed Cicero in the face and dragged him.
"Ahh Mr. Director, what are you going to do? ”
Cicero's face was so painful that he couldn't help but scream.
Gordon didn't pull his face off by tugging left and right, so he was sure that Cicero was not wearing a disguise mask.
As soon as he let go of his hand, the latter's face immediately widened, red and swollen.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cicero, but this is a necessary safeguard, I have an important question for you, and I hope you will answer it truthfully."
Cicero's face was real and didn't make Gordon let go of his suspicions, and he stared at the other party with a sharp gaze.
"The ...... Won't it ...... GCPD really knows about that...... It's over, it's revealed, the penguins will definitely change my whole family......"
Cicero, who didn't know that he had misunderstood, turned pale with fright and his legs limped at the thought of the penguin's angry eyes.
This performance made Gordon more and more suspicious of him.
Next to him, Robin watched Gordon's questioning process and didn't interject, just carefully observing Cicero's expression.
"It's not acting, he does feel fear from the bottom of his heart, and it is impossible for Kidd the thief to have such a low psychological quality...... But what was he afraid of? ”
Robin fell into deep thought.
"Is it the rumor of diamond fraud?" 'Pink Fantasy' is the hoax that Kidd the Monster Thief is trying to debunk today? ”
Robin shook his head in his heart, "It's not that simple, even if the diamond is fake, but after all, it is not really sold, and the possibility of being held accountable at this level in Gotham is very small, and there is no way to explain Cicero's fear......"
"Where did you hide the 'Pink Dream', Mr. Cicero?"
On the other side, Gordon asked Cicero with a cold face, "You also saw that the situation is tense now, please be sure to hand over the diamond to our police for safekeeping!" ”
"What? This! ”
Cicero secretly said that it was not good, and Gordon asked him for diamonds, and it seemed that the fraud was really exposed, but it was not sure whether the GCPD knew the secret behind the diamond fraud.
"Well, Mr. Director, the 'Pink Dream' has not yet been auctioned, it is the private property of Mr. Grey Retard Ethan, and I need to ask him for his opinion before I can ...... it."
Cicero tried to fight for it, but barely squeezed out a smile.
Gordon stared at him with a blank face.
Meanwhile, Dean hid in the crowd and watched Gordon and Cicero's side.
"Tsk, Gordon and Robin actually went to interrogate Cicero, they must have wanted to get the 'Pink Dream' in advance, but I didn't expect my dummy Dafa to fail, it's really not Ke at all!"
Dean pinched his chin and thought to himself, "It seems that we can only use a slightly rougher method." ”
I saw Dean put down his hands, and with a quiet shake of his palms upward, several objects the size of ping-pong balls fell from his sleeves to his hands.
Holding these small balls in his hand, Dean used his clever body skills to flexibly intersperse through the crowd, approaching the outer police encirclement little by little.
He didn't squeeze into the outermost rows, it was too conspicuous.
Shout! Shout! Shout!
When no one was looking, Dean flicked his fingers and bounced out of the few small balls in his hand.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After only a few loud bluffs, thick clouds of smoke quickly emerged, enveloping everyone around them, and then gradually spreading outward.
"It's a smoke bomb, and Kidd the Monster Thief is in the crowd! Watch out for the people around you, they could all be Kidd the Monster Thief! ”
Dean shouted as he pulled out a palm-sized object, pressed the switch on the object, and threw it into the crowd.
Immediately afterward, the object began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a balloon that could self-fill, and in the blink of an eye, it swelled from the size of a palm to the height of a person.
That's right, a dummy of Kidd the Strange Thief has been formed!
"Ahh It's Kidd the Thief, I saw Kidd the Thief, and he's over there! ”
"Officer, I've seen Kidd the Strange Thief too, come and catch him!"
Screams rang out from the smoke, men and women, old and young, full of eloquence and emotion.
Most of them are Gotham's leading figures, and they can't afford to be indifferent to the police.
As soon as the dozen or so policemen who maintained the encirclement heard the sound inside the smoke, they immediately rushed in.
This move not only caused a gap in the encirclement, but also led the police next to him to take action.
Dean didn't take this opportunity to rush out, but instigated to the nearby bidders: "The GCPD officers are all going after the monster thief Kidd, we can't stay here and make trouble, let's run out first!" ”
When he said these words, Dean didn't use a loud voice, just let the few people around him hear them.
