Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 14 The National Interpretation of the Announcement Letter (Please collect it! Please follow up!)

"This is Gotham Channel [-], I'm the host Recie White, and I'm urgently interrupting an evening news."

"About an hour ago, the Phantom Thief Kidd who stole the Ruby of Angel's Blood and Tears appeared at the Gotham International Hotel. Many witnesses said that Phantom Thief Kidd used hang glider to fly through the air while swaying a lot of cards. On the cards were written several paragraphs like riddles."

"It is rumored that before the theft of Angel's Blood and Tears, Kaitou Kidd sent similar cards to the art museum. We have reason to believe that these cards are the notice letter of Kaitou Kidd's next theft!"

"It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Kaito Kidd handed over the stolen angel's blood and tears to the famous reporter Vicki Weir, and then Vicki Weir handed over the gem to GCPD and finally returned it to the museum."

"There are too many unsolved mysteries about Kaitou Kidd. He dresses gorgeously and has a bold style. He steals but does not hide from people's eyes and ears. He can even throw away the treasures he gets at will. People can't help but want to ask why."

"Why did Kaito Kidd give up such a precious gem? What is the purpose of his theft? Why did Kidd deliver the gem to Vicki Weir? Is there an unknown relationship between the two? What kind of treasure is Kidd targeting in this notice?"

"All questions may be answered in Kaito Kidd's next appearance, please let us wait and see."

"Finally, if any citizen interprets the content of Kidd's notice letter, please call GCPD, thank you for your contribution to the security of Gotham."

After the emergency news was broadcast, the TV continued to broadcast the original program.

It's just that Dean's attention is not on the TV show at all at this time.

"The matter of the notice letter has been fermented. I had an intelligence advantage last time, so I acted very easily. I don't know what kind of battle they will use to deal with me this time..."

Dean lowered his head and pondered, the target he chose this time is completely different from Angel Blood and Tears.

Not only the huge gap in value, but also the difference in opponents.

The man behind the world's largest pink diamond "Pink Dream" is Gotham's underground king, Penguin. Although he himself doesn't seem to want to get involved in the fake diamond thing, he only sent his confidant Ogilvy out.

Dean will not underestimate his opponent because of this, not to mention that there may be more powerful characters involved.

But he will not give up action for this.

"I sent out the notice letter with great fanfare. This move is a blatant provocation to the law and order in Gotham. The GCPD will definitely take me a few steps higher. With Gordon's behavior, he will [-]% ask for a full takeover of the hotel's security work."

Dean thought about it, and repeatedly confirmed the feasibility of his plan, "At that time, under Gordon's strong control, the penguin's subordinates will have very limited space to move, and they may even exchange fire by themselves as soon as the two sides meet."

"And Robin, he can send many super criminals to Arkham Asylum with Batman, his ability is definitely not bad, and..."

If he makes things big, is it possible to draw out Batman?
In Gotham, Dean grew up listening to the legend of Batman. There are all kinds of supernatural claims, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

When he thought that he might face GCPD, Penguin, Robin and even Batman at the same time, Dean's heart was enveloped by a huge pressure.

To use an analogy, it is probably equivalent to Kuroba Kaito facing Conan, Hakuba Tan and Kyogoku at the same time...

Under pressure, a strong fighting spirit also arises.

This is a huge challenge, and it is foreseeable that if successful, Dean will gain a lot of surprise points.

He honed his skills in Gotham for so many years, isn't it just for today?

After turning off the TV, Dean got up and went to his basement, opened the secret door and entered the strange thief's studio.

For the action a week later, he needs to make some new props.

The next day, when Dean walked into the classroom, he heard the students talk about Kaitou Kidd again.

"Have you heard? The Kaitou Kidd appeared again last night!"

"Of course I know. No one in Gotham doesn't talk about Kaitou Kidd, especially his weird teaser letter."

A small part of the people who were talking about it happened to be near the Gotham International Hotel last night. When Dean was distributing the notice letters, he picked up a few of them and brought them to the school to show off.

It makes those students who can only view the content of the notice letter from TV or newspapers envious.

A classmate took out Zhang Jide's notice letter, and five or six people immediately surrounded him, chattering non-stop.

"The feast of the nobility is luxurious and tumultuous,

No one remembers the tragedy of Troy,

When Kronos returned to the origin,
Hermes will appear in the eyes of all eyes,
Expose the last deception.

What do you think this means? "

"Hmm...Troy, Chronos and Hermes, I know, they must have something to do with Greek mythology!"

"Brother, doesn't it mean that you didn't say it when you said it?"

"It's all up, I still have to reason! Let's look at the feast of the nobles first. Don't think about this sentence. When you think of Kidd's behavior of distributing the notice letter in the International Hotel and the upcoming top-level auction in the hotel, the answer is self-evident."

"This first sentence can be seen by everyone, so hurry up and talk about the latter!"

"Next, let's look at the tragedy of Troy... Legend has it that the cause of the Trojan War was to compete for Helen, because the most beautiful woman lost the entire city-state. Isn't this a great tragedy? So I guess Kaitou Kidd may dress up as a beautiful woman!"

"Hiss, it seems to make sense, what's the meaning behind that?"

"Uh—cough cough, what's behind this, I understand everything, that's all, it's very simple."

In the classroom, many students were eager to interpret the notice letter, as if they were playing some kind of charades game, although according to Dean, none of them guessed the idea.

"Hey, try to guess, smart people."

Seeing so many people racking their brains to guess the teaser letter, Dean felt secretly refreshed. It was not in vain for him to pull out so many hairs when thinking about the teaser letter...

However, in the crowded classroom, there is a place that seems a little out of place.

The last row by the window wall, the seat behind Dean.

Dick Grayson also held a notice letter from Kidd in his hand, frowning tightly, immersed in deep thinking, and did not communicate with anyone.

"Hi! Dick, you are also interested in Kidd's notice letter, why don't you go talk with others? I don't remember you being so withdrawn before."

Dean came to his seat and asked Dick with a normal expression.
