Wayne Manor, Bat Cave.

The Batgirl drove in on a batmobile.

Meanwhile, Alfred was discussing something with Dick here.

"Hey! Ah Fu, Elf Boots, it looks like I'm here at the right time, what are you talking about? ”

Barbara took off her helmet and greeted the two.

"Welcome back, Miss Gordon."

Alfred smiled as warmly as ever.

"Hey Barbara, are you still tracking down the escaped fireflies?"

Dick replied and asked.

"Not for the time being, I still haven't found the whereabouts of the fireflies, this is very unusual, Gotham is such a big city, it is impossible for him to be outside without leaving any clues, someone must have hidden him."

"Who's going to have nothing to do and hide a psychopathic arsonist?"

Hearing this, Dick touched his chin and muttered to himself.

Barbara shook her head and said, "I don't have a clue yet, there are too many suspects, and there are endless searches." ”

"So...... Are you here today to prepare? ”

Dick gave Barbara a strange look, given that her status as the director's daughter and her job as a librarian required secrecy, Barbara would not normally come to the Batcave unless there were special circumstances.

"Well, I saw an interesting news not long ago......"

Barbara recounted what she had seen in the news and added her own conjectures.

"Partnering with the Penguins? This idea is so stupid, Mrs. Chandler is really old and dizzy to make such a decision, there must be a cat in it! ”

"I think it's probably the Penguin Man behind this, and he wants to attract someone's attention with the exhibition."

Barbara confidently said, "If I'm guessing correctly, it's the Penguins who set a trap for Kidd the thief, and in revenge for Kidd the thief for sabotaging his money-laundering business, the Dragon's Egg Ruby Necklace is nothing more than a decoy." ”

After listening to Barbara's words, Dick's face suddenly became strange.

"When did you become so interested in Kidd the Thief? Didn't I tell you not to meddle in this? ”

Dick looked Barbara up and down, his eyes wary.

"But I remember the last time you swore that if I saw Kidd the thief with my own eyes, I would know what he was capable of, and I would love to see him now."

Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said with the corners of her mouth raised, "And you've already missed the monster thief Kidd twice, and the penguins are likely to make a lot of noise this time, so I think it's necessary to give you some help." ”

"So if Kidd the Monster Thief really wants to do something about the 'Dragon's Egg Ruby Necklace', then I'll get involved."

At this time, Alfred next to him interjected and said, "Miss Gordon, it's great that you're willing to work with Master Richard, we were discussing this matter just now. ”

"How can you decide on your own? Ah Fu, I have a clear division of labor with Barbara, and Kidd the Strange Thief is mine! She just needs to take care of the neighborhood she is responsible for. ”

Dick said in a hurried tone, pouting unhappily.

"Wow, it's rare to see you look so emotional, where have we gone?"

Barbara exaggeratedly covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Humph!"

Dick snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Barbara was amazed, turned to Alfred and said, "Are adolescent boys like this?" I can imagine how difficult it is for you, Ah Fu. ”

"Hehe~"

Alfred smiled mysteriously.

"Sometimes, Master Richard will do something that gives me a headache, but compared to the previous Young Master Bruce, he is already a very well-behaved child."

Hearing this, Barbara's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately asked, "What has Bruce done before?" ”

Dick on the side still kept his head twisted and sulked, but his ears moved noticeably.

Seeing that both children wanted to hear the old story so much, Alfred began to reminisce.

"When Master Bruce was fifteen years old, he ......"

-----------------

Late at night, Chandler Manor.

Unlike Wayne Manor, which looks quaint on the outside, the Chandler family's ancestral home, although it is just as old, has been demolished and rebuilt many times.

From the original pure wood, all the most advanced top materials have been replaced, and the functions such as fireproof, explosion-proof and shockproof are readily available, almost comparable to a simple fortress.

On the other hand, Wayne Manor is still the same old mansion from a hundred years ago, and even some of the wood in some parts of the wood exudes a musty smell.

However, in terms of interior decoration, the two are very close, mainly low-key, and the overall appearance is not magnificent, or even a little ordinary.

But when you pick up any device in the hallway, it can be sky-high.

In the room, Mrs. Chandler sat on the sofa, her face haggard and her eyes full of pathos.

Compared to when she was in front of the camera, she now seems to be in her twenties, and the necklace she often wears around her neck is gone.

"Madame, what did Oswald do to you that day? Did he snatch your necklace? ”

An old butler with a rickety body stood in front of Mrs. Chandler and said with a sad look in his eyes, "Even if you don't say it, I can guess that the penguin man wants to use you as his tool for revenge!" ”

"He doesn't understand what that necklace means to you at all! He's a shameful bastard! Bandit! Murderer! The face of the Copote family has been lost by him! We can't be at his mercy......"

"Say no more!"

Mrs. Chandler suddenly became emotional, "What else can I do?" What's the use of you cursing here? Oswald's decision never changed, and when he came to me, I had no choice! ”

"I'm sorry ma'am, I lost my words."

The old butler sighed.

"I'm tired, you go down first."

Mrs. Chandler closed her eyes and said in a calm tone.

Soon after, the sound of the door closing sounded.

The old butler stood in the doorway and was silent for a while before getting up and leaving.

"Wait!"

He hadn't gone far when Mrs. Chandler suddenly chased after him and stopped him.

"What do you command, ma'am?"

The old butler immediately bowed down and asked.

"I thought about what I just said, and you're right, we can't be at the mercy of the penguins."

Mrs. Chandler put her arm on the old butler's shoulder, and said with a resolute face.

"You go and arrange the car and driver immediately, I'm going to go to GCPD to find Director Gordon for help."

Hearing that the lady had made up her mind, the old housekeeper was very excited and immediately turned around to make travel arrangements.

Not long after he left, the old butler suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Madame's face was full of sadness just now, why did she change her mood so quickly? And I didn't seem to hear the door open just now. ”

Most importantly, Mrs. Chandler's face seems to be ...... Got a lot younger?

The more the old butler thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and when he looked back, there was no sign of Mrs. Chandler in the corridor, and the sound of the door opening and closing was also not heard.

"Madame!"

With a clang, the old butler hurried back to the room.

Mrs. Chandler was startled by the old butler, and just looked up to reprimand him, but was attracted by something about him.

"What's on your left shoulder?"

Hearing Mrs. Chandler's question, the old butler subconsciously looked sideways.

I saw a white card stuck in his collar!

The old butler shuddered and took the card down.

There are a few paragraphs of text written on the card, and a cartoon avatar is drawn in the lower right corner.

"If the multiplication of 20 by 3 equals 4,

Then I will visit at a time that does not exist,

When Mars spent the tenth day and night,

Following the guidance of Julius Caesar,

Come and receive the blood-stained dragon eggs.

Kidd the Strange Thief"
