A few days later.

"Kidd the Strange Thief has a teaser letter again! Having already completed two perfect thefts, will he be able to continue his saga? ”

"What's the difference between a thief and a monster thief? Looking at the two crimes committed by the thief Kidd, the first stolen angel blood and tears have been successfully returned and are still preserved in the art museum, and the second theft of the artificially forged pink fantasy, he provided key evidence for exposing the ugly underground money laundering, which makes us wonder if the thief Kidd is really guilty? ”

"Recently, some Gotham citizens have been affected by the deeds of Kidd the Strange Thief, and even began to form their own fan groups, and some people put on costumes similar to Kidd the Strange Thief and marched on the streets, and were finally captured by the GCPD.

"Why the hell did Kidd the thief steal? According to the analysis of psychologists......"

"It is rumored that the exhibition of the dragon egg ruby necklace was held by the notorious 'penguin man' Oswald Copote, in order to avenge the monster thief Kidd for sabotaging his money laundering business in the pink fantasy incident. Let's wait and see! ”

Syllable!

GCPD Headquarters, Office of the Director.

Jim Gordon slapped a few newspapers on the table in exasperation, and his face was gloomy as if it could drip water.

"Gassless, Jim, why are you so angry?"

Next to him, Harvey Bullock comforted heartlessly.

"Anyway, the thief Kidd will return it if he steals something, or the thing he stole is actually a worthless glass bead, and it doesn't cause real economic losses to anyone, I don't think we actually need to focus so much on him, just send a few small police officers over to mean it."

"Harvey! How can you say that? ”

As soon as he heard Bullock's irresponsible remarks, Gordon's face suddenly became even more ugly.

"Do you know what I'm worried about? Kidd the Thief has only been around for so short, and although they are only imitating Kidd the Thief's outfit now, who can guarantee that no one will steal in the future in order to further imitate Kidd? ”

As the chief of the Gotham Police Department, Gordon actually has his own independent office building, and he does not need to mix with front-line criminal police.

However, Gordon started as a criminal policeman, and he wanted to make the city of Gotham change a little bit, so even if he became the director, he was still stationed in the GCPD building, and every time he handled the case, he was on the front line.

This is also the reason why many people don't understand why Director Gordon personally handles the theft and attaches so much importance to the strange thief Kidd.

"Yes, Kidd the Monster Thief follows his own set of bottom lines, but what about others? Will anyone go to extort and extort under the banner of Kidd, a thief? Never overestimate the moral bottom line of the Gotham people, this sentence is still what you told me at the beginning! ”

Gordon stared at Bullock with wide eyes.

"Kidd the Thief is a criminal whether he returns the stolen goods or not, and when the citizens begin to worship a criminal, that's the beginning of a collapse of order! Don't tell me you've forgotten everything from more than a decade ago! We must not allow a single criminal to have a huge public influence! ”

Facing Gordon, who was spitting with excitement, Bullock smiled awkwardly and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll admit that your worries are justified, I'm already deeply aware of the disadvantages of Kidd's expansion of influence, but! Isn't there something else we should talk about now? ”

I saw Bullock take out an A4 paper printed with the content of Kidd's notice letter and put it on the table, and said with a serious expression: "Tomorrow is the first day of the exhibition, if we can't crack the content on it today, then we must keep a close watch on the exhibition for fifteen consecutive days, and the existing police resources of GCPD are simply not enough to squander it so much." ”

Gordon knew that Brock was right, there was so much crime in various districts of Gotham that a lot of police were needed everywhere.

In the whole Gotham, there are more than 30,000 police officers of all types, and after being evenly distributed to all the substations, the manpower is still not enough, and it is not busy at present, and the police force that can be dispatched in the entire Gotham is only about 1,000 people, and only a small number of them are elite criminal police.

These thousand people, to be ready to assist in a serious case that may happen somewhere, cannot all be called against the strange thief Kidd.

It is especially important to unravel the content of the notice letter in advance, especially to obtain Kidd's time to commit the crime, which can save a lot of police resources.

Gordon composed, picked up the notice letter that Kidd had faxed to the police station a few days ago, and frowned tightly.

"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. ”

Just this first sentence made Gordon puzzled for days.

What does the multiplication of 20 and 3 equals 4? Shouldn't it be equal to 60?

What time is it that doesn't exist? Doesn't it mean that there is an hour between 3 and 4 o'clock?

What's even going on to follow Julius Caesar's guidance, what's the matter? Is it Kidd the Monster Thief who crossed? Or did Julius Caesar cross over?

Can Julius Caesar jump out of the dirt and give guidance to Kidd the Thief?

Except for the last sentence, there is no need to guess, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is a dragon egg ruby necklace, and the other sentences can be said to be nine out of ten - no clue!

On the GCPD side, Gordon had no clue about the teaser letter.

On the other side, Wayne Manor, the Bat Cave.

Dick was also thinking about how to crack Kidd's teaser letters, and somehow, he felt that Kidd's ability to write teasers was getting stronger and stronger, and each puzzle was more difficult to solve than the last.

He searched extensively for math-related research reports and academic papers on the bat computer to see if he could find a theoretical basis for 20 times 3 equals 4.

"If the multiplication of 20 by 3 equals 4...... This sentence must be the key to unlocking the notice letter! ”

Dick was convinced.

But the question is, under what circumstances does the multiplication of 20 and 3 equal to 4?

He searched through all the mathematical theories, but he saw many arguments that 1 plus 1 does not equal 2, but he failed to find any logic that could support 20 times 3 equals 4.

There are only two possibilities.

First, Kidd the Strange Thief miscalculated.

This is obviously impossible.

Then after eliminating all impossibilities, Dick got the final truth.

This! It's not a math problem at all.

At the same time, the Gotham City Library.

Barbara looked at the contents of the teaser letter, and her eyes quietly lit up.
