Chapter 85: What is Protection?

Dick scanned the crowd with wary eyes, but he didn't know that the people who needed to be vigilant the most were often the closest to him.

"Hey! Richard, and Dean. ”

At this time, a crisp female voice sounded from the side.

Barbara walked over and greeted the two.

"Dick said before that he had a friend who was big in the GCPD, and I should have thought it was yours, Miss Gordon."

Dean smiled politely.

"You're a minute and twenty-three seconds behind schedule, Barbara."

Dick looked at his watch, and said it seriously.

"Look at how people are doing, that's why you're never as popular as Dean."

Barbara snorted, then explained.

"There's a reason I'm late, I just saw my dad talking to a group of outsiders, and they seemed to be talking about the adjustment of security posts after the official exhibition began."

"Wow, is this sure this is the message I can hear?"

Dean pretended to exaggerate.

"The two of you are the daughter of a police chief, and the other is the eldest and youngest of the Wayne family, it's normal to know some secrets, shouldn't I avoid it?"

Dick couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "The cold joke you tell is not funny at all, and it's not even cold. ”

"Don't forget who we are today, we're detectives, and our only goal is to investigate Kidd, the thief."

"You're quite deep in the play." Dean complained.

"There's something I'm really curious about, Miss Gordon, why would you want to play a game of cop and thief with this guy?"

Dean asked, turning to Barbara and pointing at Dick.

"Just call me Barbara, Dean, you don't have to be so formal."

Barbara corrected her title and then replied, "This kid said he wanted to be a police officer, which reminds me of who I was back then, and if it weren't for my father's overprotection of me, maybe I would be a female police officer by now...... Of course, the chances of being blown up in a corner are even greater. ”

"Since he had the idea of becoming a police officer and was going to practice it, why didn't I help him, even if it was just a game."

Well, they come up with a barely plausible excuse to convince Dean, who is a normal person, that they really just did it for Dick's dream of being a cop.

Dean actually knew that Dick and Barbara wanted to use their magic abilities to see if they could restrain the monster thief Kidd in this regard.

But at the same time, they must ensure that Dean does not associate with their secret identity, and use various reasons to prevaricate Dean's suspicions.

Even Dean began to wonder how Dick and Barbara would disappear when Robin and Batgirl appeared.

It can be said that the level of hard work of the two sides in some aspects is actually highly consistent.

“…… Actually, I came here today for another thing. ”

Suddenly, Barbara turned her head to look at Dean and said solemnly, "That's to see you!" ”

There was a deep apology in her eyes, and she could tell it was from the heart.

"When we met at the library before, I forced you to eat cheese beef rolls in order to keep the recipe from changing in the cafeteria, and I actually wanted to apologize to you all along."

Dean knew that Barbara wasn't talking about it, but he couldn't make it too clear.

So, he decided to pretend to be stupid.

"Huh? Oh! I remembered, there is indeed such a thing, you almost forgot if you didn't mention it, hey! What a big deal, the cheese beef roll is not unpleasant. ”

"Ahem! Barbara, let's get down to business first, what's going on with the security post adjustment? ”

Dick next to him coughed heavily, interrupting the two people's embarrassing performance.

"I don't know the specifics, I just overheard a sentence or two after passing by them."

Barbara said with a straight face, "What is certain is that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' will not be exhibited in any public exhibition hall, but will be exhibited in a separate exhibition hall. ”

"It is said that this independent exhibition hall was specially built for the 'Hope Blue Diamond' at a great cost by the director of Aofe, and is equipped with the most advanced civilian security system."

"Where's this showroom?"

Dick hurriedly asked.

"They were going that way, if I remember correctly, in that direction."

Barbara leads the way in front, and Shuangdi follows behind.

"With the exception of the stand-alone exhibition hall of the 'Hope Blue Diamond', the entire exhibition hall has been upgraded to a greater or lesser extent."

As she walked, Barbara introduced.

"For example, the original very ordinary glass windows are now replaced by fireproof, explosion-proof and high-temperature resistant high-strength glass materials, which are far stronger than the commonly used bulletproof glass. Almost every high-value collection is equipped with a highly sensitive gravity-sensing alarm that triggers an alarm once a few grams of gravity change is detected, and then all the doors of the exhibition hall close instantaneously, and the strength of these doors is made to bomb shelter standards. ”

"And in order to avoid power outages caused by the destruction of the power supply, all those who can be equipped with backup power will be equipped with additional power supplies, and if they can't, two power supply lines that do not interfere with each other will be prepared, and only one can not achieve the effect of power outage."

Good guys, the conservation of the regular public exhibition hall has come to this point, and the 'hope blue diamond' that can enjoy the independent exhibition hall must be even more terrifying.

It's definitely a serious challenge.

Dean said inwardly.

After a short time, the three of them came to an exhibition hall that was clearly isolated from the rest of the exhibition hall.

More than a dozen police officers gathered around the exhibition hall, not allowing anyone to approach the door.

When they saw the battle, they knew they were in the right place.

The size of this exhibition hall is very small, less than 10 square meters, after all, there is only one exhibit in it, the 'Hope Blue Diamond'.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the space is a little too large.

"Barbara?"

Bullock, who was guarding the gate as always, had sharp eyes, and suddenly saw the three Barbaras on the other side of the corridor.

"And Dick and ...... That little kid at the Sustons? ”

Bullock walked over and said to the three of them, "Hey! Kids, the area behind here isn't open to the public yet, you should visit somewhere else. ”

"Uncle Bullock, are my dad and the person sent by the Smithsonian Institution to hand over the Blue Diamond of Hope in there?"

Barbara asked, glancing at the door of the separate gallery behind her.

Hearing Barbara's words, Bullock suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"What do you want to do this time, Barbara?"

"Don't forget," warned Bullock, "Jim said that the Natural History Museum was the first and last time he had agreed to your involvement in the GCPD's work on Kidd the Monster Thief. ”

"What's more, you have two minors with you this time, if you don't want to see your dad go crazy, then hurry home."

"And have any of you now unraveled Kidd's letter to the thief?"

Barbara smiled and asked rhetorically.

The reason why she and Dick unraveled the contents of the notice letter but didn't tell the police was for now.
