After some time.

"I'm really sorry to bother you."

Before leaving, Kassandra scrambled to apologize to Dean at the door.

"Don't be so polite, I don't blame you, so blame yourself for what?"

Dean smiled helplessly.

After a brief conversation, Kassandra had been blaming herself for mistaking Dean for Kidd.

Sometimes Dean has the illusion that he is not deceiving people.

After that, the two chatted briefly for a while, covering everything, and even talked about Barbara's recent situation.

In last month's man-bat incident, Barbara was attacked by a human bat while investigating a crime scene, and she was seriously injured to escape, with broken arms and calves of varying degrees.

And Barbra's injury can also be regarded as an opportunity for Dean and Kassandra to get acquainted.

According to what Kassandra heard from her doctor when she told Barbra, Barbara recovered quickly and was expected to be discharged from the hospital in a week.

This means that the Bat Girl is also coming back.

At that time, the three Gotham bats will reunite, Batman, Robin, and Batgirl.

Dean doesn't quite know how many villains he is in the eyes of the Bat family, but considering some of the things he has done, such as playing Robin and Bat Girl successively, and moving his hands and feet in front of tens of thousands of people in front of Bat Lights.

Even if the Bat Family doesn't consider Kidd the Monster Thief to be a dangerous villain, I'm afraid the latter's taunt value for them is not much lower.

Dean had to consider the scene where Batman, Robin, and Batgirl went out to catch him at the same time, even if this possibility was even lower than the possibility of a supervillain from Gotham coming to besiege the thief Kidd, but he couldn't help but be mentally prepared.

It's never wrong to plan ahead.

It is possible not to have this happening, but it cannot be unprepared for it.

All in all, Kassandra told Dean many things and asked many questions.

Although there wasn't much useful information, most of it was just normal small talk, and Dean didn't expect to get much information from Kassandra.

What can she, a mute girl, know?

At this moment, looking at the back of Kassandra's departure, Dean closed the door with a deep gaze.

Back in the living room, Dean went to the couch where Kassandra had sat and ......

Picked up a hair from above.

——

Evening, Gotham, Iceberg Club.

"So, the results of your investigation show that Match Malone has not made any suspicious moves in the past few days, he hasn't gone anywhere, and he hasn't seen anyone?"

The penguin man asked, sitting at the table with a blank face.

Below, Okilvie nodded respectfully and said, "Yes, boss, I have used all the manpower and connections at my disposal, and Match Malone has indeed not done any suspicious behavior in the past few days." ”

"At least, Matchmalone and the Stickgang strictly adhered to the gambling agreement, and they did not try to artificially manipulate the gambling game."

Hearing this, the penguin man fell into deep thought.

That is to say, Match Malone did guess that the monster thief Kidd could win, and Batman would not take the initiative to fight the monster thief Kidd.

He still had a hard time believing it was true.

What is the reason for Match Malone to dare to identify this? Does he have a channel of information that the penguins don't know?

Did he not have any reason, just luck?

The Penguins know Stickmaron as he is a somewhat capable and self-defined leader, and the Sticksticks have never encroached on excess territory under Matchman's leadership, nor have they ever clashed with other gangs' businesses.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the character of a gambling dog.

Or did Match Malone originally want to give money to the penguins, but he didn't expect that by coincidence, the thief Kidd himself changed the whole game?

The penguins were puzzled.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

Just then, the dedicated phone on the penguin's desk rang.

He took it and looked at it, his brow furrowed.

An unfamiliar number appears on the screen, and from the form of the number, it appears to be from some old public phone.

The penguin gave O'Kilvi a look, and the latter immediately understood, and consciously withdrew from the door to wait.

Then the penguin picked up the phone.

"Mr. Copote, why did it take so long to answer the phone?"

A familiar voice came from the phone.

"Match Malone?"

Through the sound, the penguin people immediately recognized each other's identities.

"What do you mean by that now?"

The penguin asked without a wave in his tone.

"Nothing, I'm just a little scared and afraid to use my own phone."

Matchmalone replied, but there was no fear in his tone.

"You think I'm going to pay off?"

The penguin man frowned, and his voice suddenly rose a lot, "You did win the bet, I am willing to gamble and lose, and 30 million US dollars will be hit on your account immediately!" Lest others think that I, Oswald, can't afford to gamble! ”

"Wait, wait, don't get excited, I've never thought of that, Mr. Copote."

Match Malone hurriedly said, and his tone of voice was obviously much softer.

"How dare I doubt you? Who in Gotham doesn't know that Mr. Copote's most important thing is integrity, but recently it seems that some people are secretly investigating me, and I am worried that it may be someone from GCPD, which makes me have to be cautious. ”

"One more thing...... Mr. Copote, in view of the recent investigation, my original account will not be used for the time being, and the 30 million will be remitted to this xxxxxxx account. ”

A glint flashed in the penguin's eyes, and he said in his heart, "What the hell is this guy doing with Okilvie?" Let him go to investigate, and someone found out! ”

As for Match Malone's concern about GCPD, the penguin people can't believe it, it's just that they don't want to pierce the layer of window paper.

However, this also proves one thing, that is, Match Malone did not make trouble outside the court, otherwise he would never dare to take the initiative to contact the penguins.

Not to mention thinking about transferring money to a new account.

"I made a note of it, and the money will arrive tonight."

The penguin man calmly promised.

Unlike appearances, the penguin people have a mind that does not lose to anyone, and the account number is memorized after listening to it once, and there is no need to repeat the question or take a pen to record it.

"Then I'll wait for your good news, Mr. Copote."

Meanwhile, in a remote and backward corner area of Gotham, Dean, who is carefully disguised as a matchmaker, hangs up the phone.

He made a bet with the penguin man at the beginning, using the identity of match Malone, and now that he has won the bet, he can't let the penguin man really give the money to match Malone.

Of course, maybe the penguins don't want to give money yet.

But it doesn't matter, what Dean needs is never to get 30 million, but to make the Penguin lose 30 million, and the possibility of being on the same bar with Match Malone.

The account he reported to the penguin was registered under a false identity, and as long as he didn't use the money from the account, it would basically not be traceable.

Of course, if there is a flow of money, even if it is just a penny, it is very likely to be detected.

On the other side, the Iceberg Club.

Shortly after the penguin man hung up, a commotion reached his ears.
