"Dick, I really don't understand why you're so emotional now? I know you believe Dean isn't the thief Kidd, and I don't want the thief Kidd to be your friend, but I don't believe it proves Dean's innocence! ”

Barbara's earnest words reached Dick's ears.

"Today is the last day, as long as Dean is still at home when Kidd the Thief acts, that is the best way to prove his innocence, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

"It's not just about Dean, but even the daily night watch you're getting more and more emotional, which isn't a good thing, have you ever wondered what you'd think if Batman came back and saw your current state?"

Barbara said in a serious tone.

"A few months ago, when you persuaded Batman to give me a second chance, it wasn't what it is now, what the hell is wrong with you? Did the two defeats to Kidd the Monster Thief irritate you? ”

“……”

Dick was silent for a moment and replied, "I...... I just couldn't help but think that maybe we could do it another way. ”

"Batman is used to being suspicious of everything in front of him, so he's asking us to do the same, like Dean, do we really have a solid basis to accuse him of Kidd the Thief? And not just by an almost intuitive doubt? ”

"No, we don't! There is no motive, no evidence, no witnesses, no clues, but it is in such a situation that we naturally sneaked into his house and even installed surveillance in his house! It's as if we think it's right to wantonly invade someone's privacy, as long as the result is right! ”

"Is this really the right thing to do?"

Dick looked up at the ceiling, not so much asking Barbara as asking himself.

Barbara was stunned, she didn't expect Dick to say this.

"I used to take Batman's words as the truth, and I tried my best to imitate his words and actions, but as time went on, I don't know why, and I felt more and more ...... I feel like I'm living in the shadow of Batman. ”

Dick recalled, "You know I was involved in creating the Teen Titans, but you can never imagine what kind of mindset I had when I first met the Titans. ”

Donna was the first to greet me, and then Wally came over to shake my hand, Roy made fun of my name, and Garth was not a talker but had a cold heart, and I will never forget the sincere smiles on their faces.

"But what have I done? On the surface, I played crazy with them and caused trouble, but secretly I was constantly thinking about what way to defeat them, taking advantage of their character weaknesses and trust in me. ”

Dick shook his head and smiled wryly, "Because that was the mission Batman gave me, and that day happened to be my fourteenth birthday." ”

"During my time with the Titans, I suddenly realized that it was also sunny to be a vigilante with my head covered, and I became more and more skeptical that Batman's approach was correct...... I, I know it's wrong, but I just can't control myself. ”

Listening to Dick's narration, Barbara didn't know what to say for a moment.

"No, maybe you're right, Dick, but this is Gotham, and we're not like them."

Eventually, Barbara sighed.

"Hmm."

Dick hummed softly.

"Anyway, when today's matter is over, I'll go and get the monitor back from Dean's house, and as for the conflict between you and Batman, I don't want to be involved at all."

Barbara said.

"No problem."

After speaking, the two ended the call at the same time and concentrated on the task at hand.

According to the current interpretation of the notice letter, Kidd the Monster Thief's target 'Dragon's Egg Ruby Necklace' is stored on the top floor of the Central Heritage Pavilion, and his appearance is in the Jungle Pavilion next to the Heritage Pavilion.

So Dick and Barbara decide to split up, with the former protecting the necklace and the latter trying to stop Kidd the Thief halfway.

In their opinion, Dick's Robin identity has been exposed to Kidd the Monster Thief, and letting him stay in the Jungle Pavilion may force Kidd to change his plans and start with other Pavilions.

And Kidd the Thief doesn't know Barbara, but is a better candidate.

At the same time, in the smoking room of the Heritage Pavilion.

A grim-faced man with a cigarette in his mouth took a matchbox out of his pocket and struck a match.

With a bang, the match burned.

Strangely, the man didn't use a match to light his cigarette, but just kept looking at the flickering flame on the match.

Waiting for the flame to go out, he lit the next match and continued to stare at the flame in a daze, repeating the action over and over again.

All the people who came here to smoke looked at him strangely, but none of them came up to talk to him.

Not even a few dared to come within two meters of this man.

This is obviously a person with a bad brain, and in Gotham, you can provoke anyone you want, but it's best not to provoke such people.

In the Jungle Pavilion, Barbara's vigilant gaze quickly scanned each pedestrian, and everyone present was likely to be the disguise of the monster thief Kidd, and he couldn't let go of any detail.

Once she notices someone who has done something suspicious, Barbara will walk over and interrogate her.

She is now an interim advisor to the GCPD, and although her term is only one day, she has been able to exercise her investigative powers with great generosity.

Without this identity, Barbara would not be able to interrogate suspicious people in person as soon as she finds them, after all, not everyone has an unreasonable detective aura.

And she can't let the Batgirl show her head too much.

In addition to Barbara, Gordon is also here.

On the one hand, he was worried about his daughter's safety, and on the other hand, after the Pink Dream incident, Gordon realized that it was not enough to stay in the monitoring center.

Kidd the Thief could mislead them by repeating his tricks, so Gordon decided to go to the front line and arrest Kidd the Thief right where he appeared.

In this way, time passed little by little, and soon it was close to ten o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, Barbara suddenly felt the mobile phone in her pocket tremble.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she took out her phone and opened it to take a look.

Dean's bedroom was shown on the screen.

Judging from the picture, Dean should have just walked into the bedroom, already wearing pajamas.

At the same time, he also had a book in his hand, a pretty remarkable book.

"A Blueprint for the Future of Computer Technology" is written by Will Magnus, a leading scientist at Star Labs, who is rumored to be working on the creation of artificial intelligence lifeforms.

This book is the most cutting-edge ideas and concepts in the computer industry, and it is almost impossible for normal people to understand it, and even Barbara feels that many of the contents are too obscure when she reads this book.

Barbara wasn't surprised why Dean a magician would read hardcore books on computer science, well, in fact she was very surprised and couldn't even understand it, but she was used to it.

Because he's been reading this book since the first day she's spying on Dean.
