Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 37 Encounter in the library (Please collect! Please read!)

"Trust me, if you've ever met Phantom Thief Kid, you'll know I'm not exaggerating."

Dick said to Batgirl seriously.

"Are you sure...you can handle it alone? You don't need my help?"

Batgirl looked at Dick inquiringly and asked.

"I said I don't need your help, can you leave Kaitou Kidd alone, what are you looking for now?"

Dick started to change the subject. He walked over to Batgirl and looked at the huge screen of the Batcomputer.

"Let me see, Garfield Lynn... Firefly?"

Seeing the name displayed in the bat file, Dick asked in surprise.

"Yeah, remember the last time he set fire to the GCPD headquarters building together with that stupid Moth Killer? It was me who clearly defeated the two of them, but in the end the newspaper said it was you and Batman who did it."

Hearing this, Dick smiled awkwardly and said, "Uh...you know that people in our business should not be greedy for fame and credit. As long as the bad guys fail, it's the same for everyone, right?"

In fact, this matter cannot be regarded as the credit of Dick and Batman for robbing Batgirl. Although when they arrived, Killer Moth and Firefly had been subdued by Batgirl, but Batgirl's own condition was not much better at that time, so she sent Killer The task of escorting Moth and Firefly to the police fell to Batman.

Since no one else existed during the entire battle field and process, in the eyes of the police and the media, they only saw Batman and Robin, and they didn't even know what Batgirl had done. With Batman's character, he couldn't possibly Go specifically to tell others who actually caught the criminal.

"It's up to you." Batgirl said indifferently.

"Ahem," Dick coughed twice, and asked strangely, "After that incident, Firefly and Killer Moth were imprisoned in Arkham Asylum. Why did you start digging through old files again?"

"A few weeks ago, a district attorney proposed to reopen the GCPD arson case. He believed that the psychiatric symptoms of Firefly and Killer Moth were mild, even unclear, and they were suspected of falsifying psychiatric evaluations, so he planned to transfer them. to Blackgate Prison."

Batgirl explained.

"That doesn't sound like a bad thing."

"I thought the same as you at first, until yesterday I got the bad news that couldn't be worse - Firefly escaped from prison!"

Dick frowned tightly, "How did he escape from prison? Killer Moth?"

"Who knows? A prison guard discovered that the firefly had suddenly disappeared during his inspection in the morning. No one noticed any signs, and no record was left on the surveillance. As for the killer moth, he is still in prison. Maybe the firefly broke up with him. .”

Batgirl spread her hands and said helplessly.

"I have been chasing Firefly since I heard about this incident. I hacked into the surveillance system of the whole city of Gotham and found him in more than 30 locations. The robbers and thieves beat up a lot, but no fireflies were found."

"So I plan to come back and check the bat file to see if I can infer the most likely place where Firefly will go from his past experience. You must know that the information in the bat computer is much more detailed than the GCPD database."

Dick nodded and suggested, "I can help you share some..."

"As a matter of fact, you cannot, Master Richard."

At this time, Alfred came over with two plates of chicken sandwiches and two cups of coffee, and interrupted.

"Forgive me for having to remind you that you haven't finished your homework today."

"Ah Fu is right, the little boy who is still in school should go and finish his homework obediently, otherwise Bruce will come back and spank your ass."

Batgirl smiled slyly.

"If you encounter a problem that you can't do, come to me."

Dick gave her a blank look and didn't make a rebuttal, because he knew that he was really inferior to the girl in front of him in terms of study.

Sixteen-year-old Dick is still in the fourth grade at Gotham High School, waiting to take the ACT or SAT this year, while eighteen-year-old Batgirl graduated from Gotham University half a year ago with a degree in library management. Ph.D.

Grabbing a sandwich and stuffing it into his mouth, Dick ran aside to finish his homework, while Batgirl continued with her tasks.

After a long time, Batgirl finished reading all the records, stretched her waist, stood up from the chair, turned and walked towards the garage of the Batcave.

"I'm going back now, see you tomorrow, Ah Fu and the elf boots."

Batgirl rides on a Batbike, says goodbye to Alfred and Dick, and leaves the Batcave.

Nothing to say all night.

The next day, Sunday.

Gotham Burnley, Thurston House.

When Dean woke up and got out of bed, it was half past nine.

After washing up, I had a simple breakfast and went out.

Dean has ten or even nine very important projects to complete today, so he is going to go to the Gotham City Library.

Of course, it's not to go there to check information for homework.

Although Dean also has the same homework as Dick, and he hasn't moved a word now, he doesn't panic at all.

Thinking back to when he went to school in his previous life, he was alone with a pen, and he could even finish his summer homework in one night. Dean didn't pay attention to this mere weekend homework.

The reason why he went to the library was actually to prepare for the new notice letter.

It has to be said that writing this notice letter is really too brain-intensive, and the solution should not be too straightforward, it should be a little bit roundabout, but it should not be too far-fetched.

It needs to be difficult enough, but not impossible to guess.

This made Dean have to learn a lot of unpopular knowledge that normal people don't bother to listen to at all, so as to expand the material library for writing the notice letter.

On the way, I also took care of the synthetic 'pink dream' by the way - I just found a trash can and threw it in.

When he came to the library, Dean went straight to the deepest section of ancient religion and mythology. He randomly picked up a book on the shelf that was obscure just by looking at the cover, and flipped through it standing still.

Looking at it, a surprised voice suddenly came from the aisle on Dean's left.

"An Introduction to the Study of Greco-Roman Polytheism? I didn't expect anyone to be interested in that kind of book!"

Dean turned his head and saw a red-haired girl with glasses staring at him in surprise... the book in his hand.

The girl looked a year or two older than Dean. She was tall and curvy. She was wearing a white uniform with the name librarian on the badge.

She is pushing a trolley full of books in her hand, and she seems to be sorting books.

"Oh! I'm sorry, sir. I didn't mean to interrupt your reading. I was just too surprised, because from the first day I worked here until now, I have never seen anyone looking for a book on this shelf."

Noticing Dean's gaze, the girl immediately realized that she might have affected others, and quickly apologized to Dean.

Just a question, does anyone still not know the difference between Dean and Dick?
