"What! Kidd the Monster Thief has his eye on my beloved gem? ”

This familiar act of teaser stealing, and the moment that Mayor Gotham reminded him of Kidd the Strange Thief, suddenly lifted his heart.

So much so that he didn't even bother to look at the signature under this teaser letter.

That's Kidd the Thief, even Batman can't do anything about him!

With the security level of the mayor's mansion alone, is it capable of stopping the monster thief Kidd?

The mayor slid a few drops of cold sweat from his forehead, and thought uneasily in his heart.

Although he didn't want to say that, he could only admit this fact.

A strong sense of crisis and despair crept into the mayor's heart, if he was just an ordinary rich man, anyway, Kidd would return the gems after stealing them, and there would be no actual financial loss at all.

But the problem is that his identity is the mayor of Gotham, the highest governor of the city, and it can be said that he represents the face of Gotham to some extent.

If Kidd the Thief could even enter and leave the mayor's mansion freely and steal the treasures inside, it would be devastating to the prestige of the Gotham government.

Although the city government's reputation in Gotham is already very bad......

However, just as the mayor was desperate for his imaginary future, the voice of his old butler, Rogers, suddenly rang out.

"No, sir, this notice was not sent by Kidd, the Blame Thief!"

Well?

The mayor was stunned when he heard this, and then looked down, and sure enough, he found that the bottom of the notice letter was written on the strange thief 'Black Crow', not Kidd.

And the style of the teaser is also a little different, the card of this teaser is black, and the text on it is white, which is the opposite of Kidd's teaser letter.

At the same time, in the lower left corner of this teaser letter, there is also a cartoon avatar similar to the lower right corner of Kidd's teaser letter.

For some reason, this teaser doesn't feel like a clumsy imitator of Kidd the Thief, but rather an enemy of Kidd the Thief, the opposite of him at every turn.

"Strange thief crow? Who is it? I don't remember that Gotham had a thief with this code name. ”

After repeating the unfamiliar name twice, the mayor was sure that no one in his memory had that name.

To become the mayor of Gotham, you must first understand the criminals in the city, who are the dangerous beings to focus on, and who are the inconsequential minions, all of which must be memorized.

Ninety percent of people like Monster Thief Crow, who have never heard of it, are newcomers who have just embarked on the road of crime.

Therefore, the urgency in the mayor's heart dissipated at once.

"Since it wasn't a notice from Kidd the Blame Thief, there's nothing to worry about."

Thinking like this, the mayor's face suddenly returned to calm, and even a little mockery and disdain.

"Rogers, this is probably just a certain imitator of Kidd the Thief, not much different from those pirated Kidd who often appeared in Gotham some time ago."

"It's all because you made a fuss, so I thought something big happened at home and was startled, but you showed me this in a panic?"

The mayor shook the notice letter at Rogers, his tone disgruntled.

The panic on Rogers' face was still unabated, and he shook his head desperately and asked, "Master, do you know how this teaser letter was discovered?" ”

"Huh?"

The mayor gave him a strange look.

"How did you find out? Isn't it just that some minion is working and accidentally finds a card in a familiar place? Kidd the Strange Thief has been found in previous teasers, and his imitators should follow this habit as well. ”

"No, sir."

Who knows, Rogers shook his head, then nodded again, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed with the mayor's speculation.

"This teaser letter...... It was found in the glass case of the Zerai blue stone! ”

Rogers spoke.

"What did you say?"

The mayor couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, you heard it right, I saw this notice from the glass case in the middle of it as I passed through the treasure room."

"The card wasn't on the outside of the glass case, it was actually inside! And there's an extra hole in the top of the glass case that just fits into an arm! ”

Rogers said with a look of relief.

"That is, this person unknowingly sneaked in, evaded all of our surveillance equipment and security measures, and came to the location of the Jeai Blue Stone unimpeded."

"Wait, Rogers, there's something wrong......"

At this time, the mayor stopped Rogers and asked with a look of disbelief.

"You said that the thief Crow's teaser was found in a glass case, doesn't that mean he's been able to steal the bluestone? Why didn't he just take the gem away and put a teaser instead? ”

"This ...... I do not know. ”

Rogers lowered his head.

"By the way, what time is it at night?"

Suddenly, the mayor remembered the time on the notice letter, and hurriedly lifted his wrist sleeve to look at his watch.

"At 0:53 a.m., there are still more than two hours left before the predicted time."

"Sir, do you want to notify GCPD?"

Rogers asked.

"Then you need to ask? Contact Jim Gordon and send someone over now! But don't think about relying on GCPD, it may be too late in time, and it is still up to us to protect the blue stone! ”

At this moment, the mayor of Gotham had a touch of courage in his eyes, and ordered Rogers.

"Rogers, go and get all the bodyguards here in the treasure room, I won't allow anyone to steal the Jeai Blue Stone, not even the monster thief Kidd!"

After some time.

At the Gotham Mayor's Mansion, the Mayor, Rogers, and more than twenty tall bodyguards came to the treasure room and gathered in front of the glass case of the Jeai Blue Stone.

I saw that there was indeed a hole in the transparent glass cabinet that could reach into an arm, and directly below that hole, a blue gem lay quietly on the red cloth, shining brightly.

"Master, it's no secret that Kidd the Monster Thief is particularly good at disguise, and if this Monster Crow knows the same technique, then it's very likely that he is hiding among us right now."

Rogers leaned close to the mayor and whispered.

"Yes, Rogers, you're right."

The mayor said as he looked at Rogers calmly, and then his eyes instantly became extremely sharp.

"Because you're the Rogue Rook!"

Whew!

As soon as the words fell, more than 20 bodyguards in the field raised their guns and pointed their guns at Rogers.

I saw the mayor walk to the glass cabinet of Zheai Blue Stone, stretch out his hands with cold eyes, and lift up the top of the cabinet.

In the next moment, the top of the glass case was lifted completely, but what was revealed underneath was not a gem, but another layer of impermeable top cover!

To be precise, this is the real top cover of the glass cabinet, and the glass cover with a hole on it is just a cover on the original glass cabinet to create the illusion of a hole.

This phenomenon means that Rogers' claim that the notice was found in a glass case is pure lying.

In the current situation, there is only one possibility for someone to tell such a lie.

"How do you see that, Lord Mayor?"

Seeing that his identity was revealed, Rogers simply stopped pretending.

Next, he made a surprise move.
