"This is Gotham Channel Seven, I'm host Racy White, and I'm going to broadcast a couple of news pieces for you now."

"Recently, the thief Kidd teased the theft of the 'Blue Diamond of Hope', which caused a heated discussion among the masses of Gotham, and yesterday was the day of Kidd's final preview, and I believe the audience in front of the screen is curious about the outcome of this matter."

"According to the Aoife Jewelry Exhibition Hall, the strange thief Kidd was successfully intercepted by the police on the way to escape and recaptured the stolen 'Blue Diamond of Hope', although in the end the strange thief Kidd escaped, but this is the first time that the Gotham police have successfully recovered the stolen items from the strange thief Kidd, rather than the strange thief Kidd voluntarily returning it."

"So whether the first defeat of the monster thief Kidd is the same as people imagined, an anonymous insider revealed to this station that in fact, the monster thief Kidd did not intend to take away the 'Hope Blue Diamond' from the beginning, his real purpose was to break the long-standing curse on the diamond, and what the police intercepted was not the real monster thief Kidd, but just a puppet deliberately left by Kidd."

"We don't know if the so-called curse breaker refers to the literal meaning, or if the curse legend of Kidd is trying to tell people that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' is just a marketing ploy."

"The anonymous tip lacks evidence, its credibility is questionable, and the Gotham police have not revealed the slightest inside story about this matter, so please judge for yourself what the truth is."

At Gotham High School, Dean is lying on his desk, bored watching the news program on his phone.

When he came to the classroom, there were not many people in the room, and there was plenty of time before class, so he watched the news.

First of all, the anonymous person is not Dean, and he does not know who leaked the information to the media.

It could have been that the media had given some money to a police officer who was at the scene at the time, or it could have been done by someone else.

It doesn't matter who he is, it's not a bad thing anyway.

“…… The last piece of news is that a few days ago in a certain neighborhood of Gotham's Upper West Side, there were several bizarre murders, the death of the deceased was extremely horrific, as if the blood was sucked dry by a mythical vampire, and there were many witnesses who claimed to have seen a huge bat at night, suspected to be the initiator of the case. ”

"Witnesses insist that it is not Batman, but the real bat monster, but in addition to eyewitness testimony, there is no corresponding video or picture leaked for the time being, and it is impossible to confirm whether the bat monster is real."

"The GCPD's Upper West District Office's response to this case is that there are no bat monsters in the world, and there are no people who have been sucked to death by bat monsters, and the GCPD General Director James Gordon is currently investigating the case, hoping that he can catch the real culprit as soon as possible."

"Thank you all for watching, today's festival ......"

Before the host's closing remarks were finished, Dean swiped his phone to exit the playback interface.

"A huge bat monster that killed several people, and there are still such super-sized creatures in Gotham? I thought Poison Girl and Killer Crocodile were the epitome of Gotham's extraordinary villains. ”

After listening to the last piece of news, Dean thought to himself.

Since Dean doesn't know much about the DC world, he has always taken it for granted.

After all, before Batman became widely known, it was also circulated among the common people in the form of urban legends.

When Dean was in middle school, the urban legend of the 'Sewer Crocodile' was quite popular in Gotham, but few people believed it.

The whole school was talking about the waterway crocodile, and the number of jokes was too many to count, but Dean took it seriously, and he deliberately avoided the manhole cover when he walked.

The rest of the story is very simple, the sewer crocodile does appear, it is a super criminal known as the killer crocodile, who looks like a humanoid crocodile monster, and is said to be a human with atavism.

Batman and Robin defeated the Killer Crocodile, and Robin was still a kid at the time.

Since the killer crocodile was arrested and imprisoned, the people who made crazy jokes about the sewer crocodile never dared to mention those words again.

Dean figured it would be a similar situation this time.

As time went on, there were more and more people in the classroom.

"Hey...... Dean ......"

At this moment, Dick walked into the classroom with his school bag on his back, came to his seat, and greeted Dean weakly.

I saw a pair of thick dark circles on Dick's face, a face full of tiredness, and the whole person still felt a little shaky when he stood up.

"Oh! What were you doing yesterday? ”

Seeing Dick's appearance, Dean couldn't help but be taken aback.

"I want to ask you."

Dick looked at Dean with an unhappy expression and asked, "I said that we went to the exhibition together yesterday, and you went to expose the methods of the monster thief Kidd, but where did you go?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Dean asked wonderingly, "Didn't you call me early yesterday morning to tell me that Karina had discovered the bugging device I had put on her, and that it might be dangerous, and told me not to come?" ”

"What?"

Dick seemed to come to his senses all of a sudden, and subconsciously asked, "When did I tell you this?" ”

"Are you amnesia? Well, see for yourself, I still have call logs here. ”

Dean clicked a few times on his phone and showed it to Dick.

"Call number xxxxxxx, call time is 8:37 am, this is indeed my phone number, yes, but I remember not calling at all during that time......"

Dick looked at the call history on Dean's phone, and immediately took out his phone and called up his call history.

It turned out that at the same 8:37, there was actually a record that should have been shown without a call record!

Dick's cell phone made a call he hadn't made, and by this point he knew what was going on.

"Shet! Kidd the Thief! ”

Anger surged from Dick's heart, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Then Dean's voice poured down like a basin of cold water.

"Hey, hey, hey! Dick! What are you doing? No matter how hard you push your phone, you will be pinched and exploded! ”

Dick came to his senses in an instant and quickly stopped exerting force.

At this time, there were already several cracks on his phone screen, and Dick was heartbroken.

Others think that being a child of the Wayne family must be very cool, with endless pocket money, but only Dick himself knows best how 'picky' Bruce is.

You have to listen to Alfred arrange the housework, and you can get five dollars in pocket money a week.

Dick himself had so many girlfriends to date, and that money wasn't enough to do.

In addition to the various equipment and transportation that Robin must need, most of the personal belongings that Dick needs in his daily life have to go out to work to earn.

Looking at Dick's uncertain face, Dean was already smiling in his heart.

Since he dares to disguise himself, he must think that he really wants to disguise 'Dean'.

'Dean' must not be given a reason to appear at the exhibition.

Stealing his phone from Dick was a piece of cake for Dean, and it only took him a minute and a half to crack the code on Dick's phone.

In order to avoid Dick's idle egg pain to check the content of the call, Dean also used the voices of the two and his mobile phone to make a call with himself.
