Chapter 87: April 1st

"Sheriff Bullock is right, we should hear what these young people think."

Suddenly, Briska spoke from the side.

"But protecting diamonds and apprehending thieves is the job of the police, and ordinary citizens have no right to interfere, and they should not interfere."

Gordon said with a serious face, "What's more, they are still underage children, if something happens, I can't imagine the scene at that time." ”

"What about Batman and his assistants?"

At this moment, a deep female voice came from behind Biska, and the person who spoke was none other than the female bodyguard.

"Do they have the right to meddle in your police case? Isn't Robin also a minor? And I've also heard that GCPD will take the initiative to light the Batlight to ask for Batman's help......"

"Karina!"

Biska interrupted her and continued.

And then these two sentences were already lethal enough, making Gordon's face blue and white for a while, and it was ugly.

Not because of indignation, not because of annoyance, but because of a deep sense of powerlessness.

No one in the world knows this fact better than Gordon that GCPD needs Batman, and far more than the average person thinks.

The more he became aware of this fact, the more Gordon was torn between the fact that the very existence of the vigilantes was a silent resistance to the local police, and the regular police had to rely on the vigilantes to deal with criminals they could not deal with.

It's ridiculous and pathetic.

Gordon couldn't refute Karina's words, and he couldn't give up on his ideas.

"They're not like Robin, and the day I feel most resentful about Batman is the day Robin shows up, and I won't forgive him for pulling a kid into his world anyway."

Gordon said softly but firmly.

That's a good point, but it's a pity that Robin in your mouth is right in front of you.

Dean grumbled inwardly.

If it weren't for knowing that Robin and Batgirl were here, Dean might have been touched by Gordon at some point.

This veteran cop adheres to his inner creed, and has persevered in Gotham for decades without wavering, and this perseverance and perseverance are truly admirable.

"I don't want to hit you, Chief Gordon, I've always had full trust in the Gotham police, and the teaser letter that you haven't been able to unravel for a long time has been unraveled by a few children, and now I still believe in you and your officers, but I also think that these children are unique, they are different from ordinary children."

"We're not trying to send these kids to the front line to fight the criminals, just listen to their thoughts and suggestions, and maybe they'll find details that we can't see." ”

"You're so right, Miss Knell, thank you for your willingness to accept our help."

Barbara said happily, and then grabbed Dean over.

"I'd like to introduce you to Dean Suston, don't look at his youth, he's one of the most famous magicians in Gotham, and many magicians have praised him for his age."

"I'm willing to bet he's going to make a big difference in dealing with Kidd the Monster Thief."

Dean smiled awkwardly and said, "Hello, Miss Knell, it's nice to meet you." ”

It wasn't Biska who responded first, it was Karina behind her.

"You're Suston? I've heard of you. ”

Karina looked at Dean in surprise and said, "Tell me what you think of this exhibition hall?" I'm curious about your opinion. ”

"Huh?"

This unsolicited question made Dean a little unintelligible for a while.

"I forgot to tell you that Kailina is a security specialist recruited by the Smithsonian Institution, who has just returned from London, and she is good at developing various forms of protective measures, and this exhibition hall is specially designed by her."

Bethsca explained.

"Also, the equipment and materials are provided by us."

On the other side, Director Aoife spoke, making himself somewhat presence.

"You designed this showroom, so why do you freeze diamonds in ice? A refrigeration room was built for it. ”

Brock, behind Dean's body, also interjected into the conversation.

"Well, I'd like to hear what this Mr. Suston thinks, and why he did it from a magician's point of view."

Karina smiled slightly.

Dean stretched out his hand and touched his chin, and said with a serious expression: "To be honest, I don't like the low temperature in this exhibition hall, or rather, no magician likes the low temperature environment. ”

"As we all know, manipulation is a very important part of magic, and it is the dexterity of the fingers that determines this."

With that, Dean stretched out his other hand and grabbed it twice with his slender and delicate fingers.

"In a cooler environment, the hands become stiff, resulting in a severe loss of dexterity, even if the hands are still exposed, even if they are wearing warm clothing, the dexterity of the fingers will still be affected."

"For the elite magician, as long as there is a slight difference in the dexterity of the fingers, many of the techniques will produce a strong sense of discomfort and the possibility of revealing flaws will be greatly increased."

"Putting diamonds in ice further exacerbates the effects of the cold, and such a large piece of ice is so strong that it's hard to melt away in a short period of time, even with a flamethrower."

"And it also satisfies the requirement that the public exhibition must have a clear view of the diamond but at the same time not get too close, which is a very genius idea, and it is much more reliable than sending a dozen people to surround the display case."

As soon as these words came out, Brock's old face suddenly turned red.

"What's more, this is still a very small space, and the number of people who come in at one time is limited after all, there are few blind spots that can be used, and it is easier to be found when mixed in with the crowd."

After listening to Dean's speech, Karina nodded in satisfaction.

"That's a good point, that's why I designed this showroom."

She smiled confidently, "In addition to the cold, the diamonds in the ice cubes are also equipped with a signal generator, once the position of the diamonds is detected, or the signal suddenly disappears, the door of the exhibition hall will be locked instantly, and the cold air blown by the refrigerator in the corner of the wall will be switched to hypnotic gas, which will stun everyone in the exhibition hall at that time, and then find out who stole the diamonds one by one." ”

The interior of the exhibition hall is completely enclosed, with no entrances and exits except for a door, not even ventilation openings.

Even the power supply is completely independent, because this exhibition hall is made improvised, so it is not connected to the main power supply line, and all the equipment inside uses an independent power supply.

"This anti-theft design is really powerful, it's more difficult than ever, and it's not counting Robin, Batgirl, or anyone else."

Dean was deep in his heart, thinking about how to break through such a tight defense.

This thought brought to mind the next day.

It's April 1st.

That is, the day that Kidd the Strange Thief predicted.
