Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 27 It's a smoke bomb! I put a smoke bomb (Please collect! Please follow up!)

Listening to the support requests sent by various patrols, Gordon's face turned ashen.

Add up all the "Strange Thief Kidds" that have been discovered so far, and the total number has exceeded twenty, distributed in every corner of the eighteenth floor.

Which ones are dummy, which ones are real people, and even whether there are real people among them is unknown.

Phantom Thief Kidd had the strength to release dummies in so many places, how did he do it?

"Could it be that in less than 30 minutes when I went to investigate and monitor, Kaitou Kidd not only tampered with the power supply equipment, but also spread a huge number of dummies? How is this possible? So many dummies How could it have been hidden until now and no one has found it?"

On the host stage, Robin's expression was equally ugly.

They were overtaken by Kaitou Kidd in almost every step, and they were completely calculated to death.

Since becoming Robin, I have fought against so many criminals in Gotham, and only when I confronted the Riddler, Double-Face, Penguin and even the Joker would a similar situation happen.

Although Robin and the others have been following Kaitou Kidd's expectations, they have not guessed everything wrong.

For example, they thought Kaito Kidd was hiding among the crowd of bidders...

At this moment, Dean was indeed pretending to be someone, hiding in the depths of the crowd on the surface calmly.

In fact, his current situation is very delicate.

All the bidders are still within the defense line built by the police. If Gordon suddenly becomes enlightened, he insists that Kaito Kidd must be hiding in the crowd, and those outside are all fake.

Then he ordered his subordinates to gather the line of defense on the spot, make an airtight encirclement, and then check everyone's identity one by one, then the situation would be reversed in an instant, putting Dean in a disadvantageous position.

But in this way, it is necessary to give up the pursuit of those "Phantom Thief Kidd" outside who don't know the truth or falsehood, because GCPD's police resources are limited, and it is impossible to ensure that no one can escape from the encirclement and at the same time allocate police force to catch the dummy.

The problem is, who is sure where the real body of Kaitou Kidd is?

Who dares to make this bet?

Robin said he dared.

"Don't pay attention to those dummies running around, those are smoke bombs released by Kaitou Kidd!"

Robin came to Gordon and said with a serious face.

"No matter what incredible things he has done, don't forget his ultimate goal - pink dream!"

Hearing this, Gordon immediately understood, and he quickly ordered someone to call the auction host, Manager Cicero, over.

Manager Cicero was right in the front of the crowd and was quickly brought before Gordon.

"What's the situation? Why are these cops looking for me if they don't go to catch the Kaitou Kidd? Could it be...they know the secret of fake pink diamonds?"

Thinking of this, Cicero felt uneasy, and kept dodging under Gordon's sharp gaze.

This abnormal behavior quickly aroused Gordon's suspicion, he rushed forward without any explanation, grabbed Cicero's face and tugged.

"Ah! Mr. Director, what are you going to do?"

Cicero's face was painfully pulled, and he couldn't help crying out.

Gordon yanked left and right without tearing off his face, so he was sure that Cicero was not wearing a disguise mask.

As soon as he let go of his hand, the latter's face immediately enlarged, red and swollen.

"Sorry, Mr. Cicero, this is a necessary safeguard. I have an important question to ask you, and I hope you will answer it truthfully."

The fact that Cicero's face was real didn't make Gordon let go of his doubts. He kept staring at the other party sharply.

"Should...shouldn't...the GCPD really knew about it... It's over, the Penguin will definitely change my whole family if the matter is revealed..."

Cicero, who didn't know that he had misunderstood, when he thought of Penguin's angry eyes, his face turned pale and his legs became weak on the spot.

Such performance made Gordon more and more suspicious of him.

Next to him, Robin watched Gordon's questioning process without interrupting, but was just observing Cicero's expression carefully.

"It's not acting skills. He really feels fear from the bottom of his heart. It's impossible for Kaito Kidd's psychological quality to be so low...but what is he afraid of?"

Robin was lost in thought.

"Is it the rumor that the diamond is fake? 'Pink Dream' is the hoax that Kaito Kidd wants to expose today?"

Robin shook his head in his heart, "It's not that simple. Even if the diamond is fake, it hasn't been sold after all. The possibility of being held accountable for a crime of this level in Gotham is very small. There is no way to explain Cicero's fear of..."

"Where did you hide 'Pink Dream', Mr. Cicero?"

On the other side, Gordon asked Cicero with a cold face, "You have also seen that the situation is tense now, please be sure to hand over the diamond to our police for safekeeping!"

"What? This!"

Cicero secretly thought something was wrong, and Gordon asked him for diamonds. It seems that the fraud has really been exposed, but it is not sure whether GCPD knows the secret behind the diamond fraud.

"Here, Mr. Director, 'Pink Dream' has not been bid yet. It is the private property of Mr. Gray Tad Ethan. I need to seek his opinion before..."

Cicero tried to fight for it, forced a smile and said.

Gordon stared at him blankly.

Meanwhile, Dean hides in the crowd and watches Gordon and Cicero.

"Tsk, Gordon and Robin actually went to question Cicero. They must have wanted to get the 'Pink Dream' in advance. I didn't expect my dummy Dafa to fail. It's really unreasonable!"

Dean squeezed his chin and thought to himself: "It seems that we can only use a slightly rougher method."

Dean put his hands down and shook his palms up slightly, and several objects the size of ping pong balls fell from his sleeves onto his hands.

Holding these small balls in his hand, Dean nimbly moved through the crowd with his ingenious movements, getting closer to the surrounding police encirclement.

He didn't squeeze into the outermost rows, that would be too conspicuous.

call out! call out! call out!

When no one was paying attention, Dean flicked his fingers and bounced all the small balls in his hand.

boom! boom! boom!

After hearing a few bluffing bangs, groups of dense smoke quickly emerged, enveloped everyone around, and then gradually spread outward.

"It's a smoke bomb, Kaitou Kidd is in the crowd! Be careful of the people around you, they may all be Kaitou Kidd!"

As Dean shouted, he took out a palm-sized object, pressed the switch on the object, and threw it into the crowd casually.

Immediately afterwards, the object began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a self-filling balloon, expanding from the size of a palm to the height of a person in the blink of an eye.

That's right, a phantom thief Kidd's dummy has been formed!

"Ah! It's Phantom Thief Kidd, I saw Phantom Thief Kidd, he's over there!"

"Officer, I also saw Phantom Thief Kidd, come and catch him!"

A series of exclamations sounded from the smoke, there were men and women, old and young, speaking convincingly and expressively.

Most of them are famous people in Gotham, and they can't be indifferent to the police for help.

The dozen or so policemen who maintained the encirclement here rushed in as soon as they heard the sound in the smoke.

This movement not only created a gap in the encirclement, but also drove the police beside him to take action.

Dean didn't take this opportunity to rush out, but incited the nearby bidders: "The police officers of GCPD are all going to hunt down Kaitou Kidd, we can't stay here and cause trouble, let's run out first!"

When he said these words, Dean didn't use a loud voice, and only let the few people around him hear him.

I feel that many plots are not mature enough, but there should be some advantages, at least I will not write broken chapters
