Aoife Jewellery Exhibition Hall, conference room.

Gordon, Bullock, Director Ofie, and Besska Cornell, a representative from the Smithsonian Institution, shared the same room.

"Again, I want to say that the Blue Diamond of Hope is likely to be coveted by multiple thieves at the Gotham exhibition, and the slightest carelessness could lead to the theft of the diamond, do you really not plan to cancel the Gotham exhibition, Miss Nair?"

Gordon said to Bethka with a solemn expression.

"I understand what Director Gordon means, and we are very grateful for the kindness of GCPD, but we already anticipated the current situation when we decided to exhibit the 'Hope Blue Diamond', so we will not cancel the exhibition plan for this, and everything will continue as usual."

Besska said calmly, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Moreover, we have full confidence in the ability of the Gotham police, and we are confident that you will protect the 'Hope Blue Diamond' from being easily stolen."

I don't know why, but I always feel funny when I hear this sentence in Gotham.

Even Gordon wondered if he had misheard.

But then again, regardless of whether the Gotham police are trustworthy or not, the other party is ultimately affirming the work of Gordon and others.

This also makes it difficult for them to persuade people to cancel the exhibition.

It's impossible to say that you're incompetent and untrustworthy, right?

Anyone can distrust the police, but the police themselves cannot distrust the police, at least not on the surface.

"GCPD will do everything in its power to protect the Blue Diamond of Hope."

In desperation, Gordon could only promise Bethca.

Then they discussed the details of the matter, and then they said goodbye to each other.

Gordon and Bullock have to rush back to the police station to arrange work, and Biska has to return to the Smithsonian Institution to resume her life.

At the same time, a staff member in the exhibition hall also quietly left.

Walking out of the exhibition hall a few streets, I came to a deserted place.

The staff member ripped the mask off his face, revealing the face behind it.

"In addition to me, there is another person who is good at disguise who is interested in the 'Hope Blue Diamond', is it a peer?"

Dean thought to himself as he changed out of his staff uniform.

"Who could that guy be? It seems that this time there is an extra opponent. ”

It feels like it's getting more and more troublesome.

In addition to GCPD, which appears as usual, Robin will definitely come to stop herself, and the bat girl may have to intervene after what happened last time, and now there is a peer hiding in the shadows waiting for an opportunity.

And if this abnormal exhibition is not done well, there may be some secret promoters hidden.

Dean touched his chin, and the challenge he faced was getting more and more severe.

"This time we have to put more effort into formulating an action plan."

Dean thought about the variables in his head and returned home.

Night.

Arkham Asylum.

Under the watchful eyes of two prison guards, O'Kilvi walked into the ward where he was visiting.

And the object of his visit this time is none other than the Riddler Edward Nigma.

"Who are you?"

The first time he saw Okilvie, the Riddler asked.

"Ignatius O'Kilvie."

Okilvie replied in a respectful tone, "Of course, you certainly haven't heard of the name, so to put it in a more plain way, I'm Mr. Copote's secretary." ”

The moment the words fell, the Riddler's face became extremely cold.

"What does Oswald mean by that? Just send a little brother to see me? ”

"You misunderstood, Mr. Nygma, the boss definitely didn't mean to take you lightly."

Okilvie's tone was still respectful and flat, "Recently, the boss has been personally directing a large-scale gang war, and he is too busy to take a break, otherwise he will definitely come to see you in person." ”

"And he's still haunted by your last mistake."

Hearing this, the Riddler's ears immediately pricked up.

"Mistakes? What blunder? ”

"Do you remember when your boss asked you to read Kidd's teaser letter?"

O'Kilvie asked.

"You want to say that I misinterpreted the notice?"

The Riddler frowned.

Okilvie nodded, and then told the Riddler the only fallacy.

"What a joke!"

When the Riddler learns that "Julius Caesar's guidance" refers to Kidd the Strange Thief's famous words on the radio, he immediately looks furious.

"He uses radio to create additional conditions, as a way to replace the objective conditions that exist, and it is impossible for people who are not there to unravel, which is simply cheating! Riddles are not designed that way! Damn Kidd the Monster Thief, he's defiling the riddle! ”

The Riddler yelled.

"I must have had something wrong with my brain to think that guy was thinking of a funny puzzle!"

"I'm going to kill Kidd the Monster Thief, I'm going to kill him!"

He is acting like a child whose favorite toy has been broken, showing extreme emotion and irrationality at all.

This is a great contrast to the rumored image of the Riddler.

"Mr. Nygma, I'm here today because Kidd the Strange Thief has sent out a new notice letter, and the boss asked me to come over and ask you to help crack it."

Okilvie held back a smile in his heart, and remained unfazed on the surface.

"In the boss's heart, he still recognizes your wisdom."

At this time, Okilvi suddenly lowered his voice and whispered.

"He also said that if your reasoning is correct this time, then he can help you get out of here."

As he spoke, O'Kilvi pulled out a piece of paper with Kidd's notice written on it and showed it to the Riddler.

"On the first day when the Emperor held the scepter,

The wheel of fate is about to turn two cycles,

The magician of the Silver Wing obeyed the call of the priestess,

Descending to the pinnacle,

Admire the beautiful blue hope,

Kidd the Strange Thief"

Who knows, the Riddler just glanced at it lightly, and immediately showed an insulted look.

"Something as simple as it deserves to be called a puzzle?"

Although Kidd the Strange Thief cheated on the last teaser to make it impossible for the Riddler to decipher it, the overall concept was quite clever, and although the difficulty was simple for the Riddler, it was barely a qualified category.

But the teaser in front of him seemed to the Riddler to be a brain teaser at the level of a primary school student.

It seems that Kidd is worried that the last teaser letter will be too difficult for everyone to solve, so this time he deliberately lowered the difficulty to give away points!

At least by the Riddler's standards, Kidd the Strange Thief is humiliating someone else's IQ!

To be exact, to humiliate his intelligence!

At this point, the Riddler completely hated Kidd the Strange Thief.

Although normal people may not be able to understand where this hatred comes from at all.

"Copote, can't you even read this kind of thing? It seems that the comfort of dominating Gotham for many years has rusted his brain! ”

The Riddler even felt disdain for the Penguin Man who was looking for him to crack the teaser.

Opposite, Okilvie was still looking at him expectantly.

"Humph! What a bunch of idiots, promoting such idiots as deputies, Cobot really lived more and more back. ”

The Riddler thought disdainfully.

Forget it, for the sake of the old days with the penguin people, let's explain it to this idiot.
