Chapter 130: The Gotham Prince declares war on Kidd the Monster Thief!
"Kidd the Thief?"
When Dick voiced his guess, Batman showed obvious doubts.
He couldn't understand why a thief who used theft to show performance art would pretend to be himself and run to Kurt Langstone's lab.
And the thief not only knocked Kurt unconscious in his human bat form, but also took a copy of human bat serum from the laboratory.
According to Kurt, he ended up making a total of three human bat serums, only one of which he injected, and there should be two more in the lab.
But Batman and Dick only found a serum in the lab.
This means that someone must have taken the other copy, and the biggest suspect is naturally the pretender of Batman.
This is also the reason why Batman attaches so much importance to this pretender, in order to find out where this person is, he even does not hesitate to drag Dick with him for several days and nights without resting for a high-intensity search.
It can't be because the man said something he shouldn't have said, right?
Batman thought of many possibilities, the Joker, the Two-Face, the Penguin, and the Scarecrow could all be behind it, and the pretender may have been hired by one of them to take the human bat serum.
Dick offered him a completely different way of thinking.
After careful consideration, Batman believes that Dick's guess is not unreasonable, at least purely from the perspective of ability, the monster thief Kidd can escape without leaking a drop of water and leaving no clues.
Then it's time to keep an eye out for Kidd the Monster Thief.
It just so happens that the human-bat incident has just been resolved, and there has been no crime incident with a bad impact in Gotham for the time being, and the main opponent of Batman on the surface is nothing more than the penguin.
But like Kidd the Monster Thief, the Penguins have a habit of doing things without leaks, and it will be a long battle to bring him down completely.
In this way, Batman can finally free up his hands and blame the thief Kidd, a rookie in Gotham.
Until then, Batman has to take a closer look at every crime Kidd has committed in the past.
Batman's research is by no means different from ordinary people watching a few news, and it is so superficial to make up the brain from just a few words, and the bat computer has collected all the video information about the monster thief Kidd, whether it is public or not.
It also includes some of Dick and Batgirl's findings on Kidd the Monster Thief, and Batman will also watch them all.
Obviously, it will take some time to get this done.
But this is good news for Dick, because he can finally take advantage of this time to take a good rest, and Kidd the Thief is already familiar with him, and he doesn't need to look up information on the spot like Batman.
It's a pity that Dick underestimated the intensity of his work in the past few days, and he didn't make up for seven hours of sleep, so he could only force himself to come to school.
After that, Dean saw Dick's languishing appearance.
"Calculate the time, Bruce should be about to have that high-profile press conference......"
Dick muttered weakly.
"Huh? What did you just say? Who wants to develop the conference? ”
Dean at the front table didn't hear Dick's mumbling too well, and asked strangely.
"Nothing, you'll find out later."
Dick buried his head in the table and said, "For God's sake, please don't wake me up before the bell rings." ”
Looking at Dick, who had the word fatigue written all over his body, Dean shook his head and turned back.
Before the class bell rings?
It's already ringing, okay!
Fortunately, the professor of this class will be retiring next year, and he basically doesn't care much about classroom discipline, so let Dick sleep peacefully.
Dean thought so, and didn't bother to remind Dick.
"But Dick was right about the conference...... And what does it mean that I'll find out later? ”
It's all because Dick's words are so unclear and his voice is so small that Dean didn't hear the whole thing, and he couldn't get any useful information from his words.
In desperation, Dean had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and check it on the Internet himself.
"Gotham's press conference today is ...... Well! ”
Just as Dean opened Google and searched for the keyword "press conference", his eyes were instantly attracted by the first entry displayed.
"Burst! Bruce, chairman of the Wayne Group, held a press conference and declared a high-profile war against Kidd! ”
This...... What kind of weird thing is this?
Not sure, take another look.
Under Dean's repeated viewing, he confirmed that the title was indeed such a title, and he was not dazzled.
Look at it again, there is also a link to the live broadcast of the press conference.
Can this not be seen?
Dean didn't say a word, and immediately clicked in, and the screen jumped to the live broadcast of the Wayne Group press conference.
However, the venue of the press conference was not in the press room of the Wayne Group, or in the auditorium of a high-end hotel.
Not even in a room, but in an open open space, with a football field on the ground and what seemed to be a running track and a large circle of spectator seats.
It looks like it's in some kind of large open-air sports field.
"This place is a little familiar, it feels a lot like the Cavaliers' Stadium."
Dean looked at the venue on the live stream and said thoughtfully.
The Knights Stadium is the largest sporting arena in Gotham, where almost all sports competitions are held, especially rugby, and for some reason, the citizens of Gotham have an unimaginable enthusiasm for the sport more than any other sport.
At this moment, in the center of the Knights Stadium, a high platform has been temporarily erected.
In front of the stage, dozens of reporters sat on small benches, all looking at Bruce Wayne on the podium, flanked by cameras of various positions, and the clicking flashes kept ringing.
Beside Bruce stood a gray-haired black man, Lucius Fox, the CEO of Wayne Group.
When Chairman Bruce occasionally needs to travel, the affairs of the Wayne Group are usually handed over to him, and every instruction given by Bruce in the past is also carried out by Lucius.
He is the most important and trusted person in the Wayne Group, and he is a staunch supporter of Bruce.
"Mr. Wayne, you held a press conference and declared that this was an open challenge to Kidd the Monster Thief, is this serious?"
A blonde female reporter, familiar with Vicky Vale, was the first to ask Bruce questions.
"Oh, it's Vicky, we haven't seen each other in a while, you've been getting better lately, how about we have dinner together tonight after a long absence?"
Instead of answering directly, Bruce complimented Vicky on her good figure with a smile on his face and extended an invitation to her.
It's a sassy playboy, but Bruce is such an image in people's minds, so no one thinks there's anything wrong with Bruce's frivolity.
Vicky shook her head and said with a wry smile: "This is the press conference, Mr. Wayne, the scene is still live, please pay attention." ”
"Uh-huh."
Bruce snorted, clearly not taking Vicky's words to heart.
He turned his head to look at the lens in the center and spoke confidently.
"Then I'm here to give Miss Weir and all of you a clear answer."
"I'm serious about the reason for this press conference, because I've noticed that there's been a recent wave of worship of Kidd the Thief in Gotham, and I think it could lead countless teenagers astray into crime."
"So today, I'm going to declare war on Kidd the Strange Thief on behalf of the Wayne Group!"
