Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 194 The Last Link Before the Performance

"Hey Barbara, look what that is!"

On a bridge from the Ortisburg district into the Diamond District, Pamela pointed at the white shadow flying in the sky and exclaimed.

Barbara looked in the direction Pamela was pointing at, and vaguely observed a silhouette similar to a delta hang glider.

With such a typical image, no one thinks about it except Kaitou Kidd.

But looking at the string of afterimages left by the white shadow passing by, this speed is not like what a hang glider can achieve. Although they know that Kidd has installed a propeller engine on the hang glider, it can only increase the speed at most. Two or three times the speed.

Absolutely impossible to get to the extent that they just saw, and no known hang gliding technology can do this, unless it is not a hang glider at all.

"That's Phantom Thief Kid!"

After a glimpse, the white shadow disappeared into the sky, leaving only the two women looking at each other.

"Why is the hang glider so fast?"

Barbara turned her head and asked Pamela.

In her opinion, Poison Ivy should be the person who has the most contact with Kidd in the world, so she should know a little bit about Kaitou Kidd.

Hearing this, Pamela felt a slander in her heart, you are obviously the one who hangs out with Kidd all day, you ask me who I ask.

Seeing that Pamela shook her head, Barbara immediately stopped thinking about it. Whether Kaitou Kidd has upgraded the hang glider is not important at all now.

"From the direction of the afterimage, the Kaitou Kidd should have come from Wayne Building."

Barbara began to concentrate on distinguishing the bearing, and finally came to the correct conclusion.

"It looks like we're late."

Pamela said slowly.

Barbara sighed, "Yes, but this is also good news."

"At least we can be sure that Kidd has a lot of information."

After coming out of the GCPD headquarters, the two women were thinking about Nygma's riddle while chasing the trail of Kaitou Kidd.

Then Barbara made the same choice as Maggison, which was to come to Wayne Building in the Diamond District to find out.

It's just that the direction of consideration of the two is not the same.

Maggison learned some information from Maiev that the GCPD did not have.

Barbara, on the other hand, relies purely on her own hacking skills.

She followed Gordon's guidance and went to the clock tower first, because there is a bat computer hidden here, which can monitor every camera in Gotham in real time.

Sadly not anymore, as almost every camera visible to the eye has been vandalized by fanatical thugs.

Fortunately, the previous monitoring data will be automatically backed up in the bat computer.

Maybe it's because Barbara is destined to become an oracle, and she's surprisingly comfortable operating the Batcomputer.

So, from these surveillance records, Barbara saw the picture of four trucks transporting nuclear bombs driving out of Wayne Building.

Even so, she only found the trajectory of three of the vehicles.

That is, the three trucks that finally gathered in the Knights Arena.

As for the fourth truck that actually transported the nuclear bomb, it mysteriously disappeared from the surveillance records.

Barbara checked all the surveillance road sections on the same date, except for the entrance of Wayne Building, none of the cameras captured the existence of the fourth truck.

What happened after that can be imagined. In order to obtain information about the mysterious fourth truck, we had to go to the source Wayne Building to investigate.

But what they didn't expect was that when they were about to enter the diamond district after passing through the two major areas of the old city and Audisburg district, the strange thief Kidd appeared!
Like a meteor, it is short-lived and fleeting.

"Tatatatata..."

After a while, Barbara and the two also heard the sound of the gunship's propeller rotating at high speed.

There was a lot of noise, apparently more than one.

Since Miranda's own helicopter lost Kaitou Kidd, she could only urgently contact the armed helicopter teams parked in various places to start a search across the city.

As long as you see a white object flying in the sky, even a seagull will immediately shoot at it.

"It looks like we can't move forward here."

Barbara and Pamela quickly found a bunker to hide, and they were relieved after the armed helicopter flew away.

"Pamela, let's go."

"Um... so where should we go now?"

Pamela asked.

"Since we can't go to Wayne Building, let's bypass here."

Barbara calmly analyzed.

"Judging from the actions of Kaitou Kidd and the changes in the diamond area, he must have obtained quite important information."

"But it is obviously impossible for us to keep up with him, so we can only join this war in our own way, at least we must be able to keep up with Kaitou Kidd."

"The last van disappeared from the monitoring records after leaving the Wayne Building. There must be something wrong with it. The monitoring coverage rate in the Diamond District should be the highest in Gotham."

"I don't believe anything can actually leave the Diamond District without being caught on camera."

After listening to Barbara's words, Pamela couldn't find anything to refute, but she always felt that something was wrong.

"You mean that the car probably never left the Diamond District in the first place, and it's even possible that after leaving the main entrance of the Wayne Building, it evaded surveillance and came back?"

"That possibility is not ruled out."

Barbara nodded.

"If that's the case, what is their purpose in doing this?"

Pamela asked, frowning.

"We now know that Bane and Miranda acted separately that day. Bane took the lead in breaking through the Arkham Asylum and releasing the criminals, which attracted the most attention."

"Afterwards, the GCPD was besieged directly. It can be said that everyone's focus was on Bain at that time, and no one would notice the change in Wayne Building."

"Then they staged this scene of changing four trucks into three trucks. Who is it for?"

"I don't know, maybe Batman, maybe someone else."

Barbara didn't know either.

"I know that there is a very short one-way lane near Wayne Building that is not covered by surveillance, because the total length is only more than 100 meters, and there are surveillance cameras at the entrance and exit."

"Finding the answer to the question may be on that path."

"Helicopters are everywhere in the sky, so let's go under there."

I saw Barbara walking to the side, where there happened to be a sewer cover...

Elsewhere, Maggison leads Lucius to a safe position.

Bell tower.

"Mr. Fox, what would Miranda want from you?"

As soon as the hang glider was retracted, Maggison couldn't wait to ask Lucius questions.

"Is it related to the fusion reactor you secretly research?"

After Magison's explanation, Lucius, who had been locked in the dungeon, finally had a preliminary understanding of the outside world.

He also knew the seriousness of the nuclear bomb issue, so Lucius did not hesitate to tell him the whole story when faced with Kaitou Kidd's question.

"What, it turned out to be like this!"

As Lucius explained, Maggison's inner emotions kept changing. Although the expression on his face remained the same, he was actually shocked to the point of death.

"But now that I finally understand everything, it's time to prepare for the real performance..."
