Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 44 Complicated Barbara
"Chief Gordon's daughter."

Starling and Agent Bob led a team of police officers to Robinson Park first.

The park's original security team was asked by them not to step into the central statue area.

After the incident at the airport, they understood that these laxly supervised security and cleaning personnel were not only useless in the eyes of Kaitou Kidd, but they were the perfect objects for their own disguise.

Even the strictly managed GCPD is hard to stop Kidd's infiltration.

Therefore, it is better to keep irrelevant people away.

The site within 100 meters of the statue of Gotham's first mayor was completely emptied, allowing access to a few people such as the queen, the prince and the current mayor of Gotham.

The royal guard is just at the position of 100 meters, forming a circle without dead ends.

More than a dozen police helicopters hovered around the statue, and there were no tall buildings around, making it impossible for Kidd to use the terrain to avoid the influence of the helicopters. The sky has become a forbidden area for Kaitou Kidd.

The distance range from 100 meters to 500 meters outside is surrounded by GCPD police stations.

Although the queen and the royal guard hadn't arrived on the road, Bob, Starling and others still stood at this position and did not continue to approach.

500 meters away is the security team of the park itself, but their number is far less than that of GCPD, mainly to stop the surging crowd.

When it was known that Her Majesty the Queen was coming here, and that Kaito Kidd was likely to appear, crazy Kidd fans all gathered in Robinson Park, as well as countless tourists who wanted to witness the Queen's true face.

Tens of thousands of people crowded the large square 500 meters away from the statue.

"Isn't that Commissioner Gordon's daughter and her boyfriend?"

Suddenly, Starling noticed two familiar faces among the crowded crowd in the main square.

"It's them. I didn't expect these two children to come."

Bob smiled rather amusedly, and sent a police officer to let Barbara and the two inside.

"Agent Starling, Agent Bob."

Barbara ran over excitedly.

"Hehe, why are you here? Are you dating a boyfriend?"

Starling approached the girl she had a crush on, and asked with a smile.

Perhaps because the fathers of the two are both police officers with a sense of justice, she has an inexplicable closeness to Barbara.

At this question, Barbara blushed instantly.

"Agent Starling, you misunderstood, we are not in a relationship, let alone dating..."

"Oh, really?"

Starling looked in disbelief, she was someone who had experienced it, how could she not see through Barbara's mind.

Not to mention her, even Bob can see that the relationship between Maggison and Barbara is not simple.

"Hey, Agent Starling, Agent Bob, Barbara and I are here to contribute our efforts to catch Kaito Kidd!"

Maggison coughed.

"So, I ask that Barbara and I stand in this position as well."

Let Starling continue to ask like this, the situation will be very bad.

"It's good that you have this kind of heart, but you are still just children. We are enough to catch the Kaitou Kidd, and you don't need to contribute."

Bob smiled kindly and declined Maggison's request.

"We can't guarantee whether the Kaitou Kidd will use powerful weapons, so it's still very dangerous here. You can just stay outside, and protect yourself first no matter what happens."

"As for other matters, just leave it to the police and us."

Barbara wanted to say something more, but even Starling echoed Bob's words.

In desperation, Magison could only retreat outside with Barbara.

It's just that, as time goes by, more and more pedestrians enter here, and it becomes quite crowded.

Barbara suddenly hugged Maggison's arm tightly.

Maggison looked down into her eyes and saw the determination and suspicion in her eyes...

and the deepest hope.

He knew that Barbara was hoping that she was not the real Kaitou Kidd.

Maggison didn't speak, just said sorry in his heart, but now is not the time to let you know the truth.

Counting the time silently in my heart, the time planned by Maggison is coming...

It didn't take long for the queen to arrive at the central statue, protected by her royal guard.

Because the crowd was too large, and the statue was surrounded by a full circle, hundreds of police officers had to force a way out for the queen to pass.

In fact, the best choice is to use a helicopter, but the environment around the statue is not suitable for landing, and the queen's age and physical fitness cannot be used to descend through the rope ladder, so the crowd can only make way.

As the saying goes, one hair moves the whole body, the crowded crowd suddenly has to vacate a row of roads several people wide, and the crowds on both sides have to move a considerable distance.

Naturally, McGison and Barbara will also be greatly affected.

Maggison carefully observed the general movement of the crowd on both sides, and simulated the movements of the people around him through the pushing behind them.

Because of the crowd, Barbara unconsciously loosened the strength in her hands a little.

Maggison seized the opportunity, pretended to be pushed by someone, and fell in the opposite direction to Barbara, and his arm naturally broke free from Barbara's hand.

Then following the flow of the crowd, Maggison gradually moved away from Barbara's position.

He knew that doing so would make Barbara even more suspicious that he was Kidd the Phantom Thief, but he had already made a plan for the aftermath, and he might even dispel Barbara's suspicion in one fell swoop.

"Maggison!"

Barbara yelled in panic, scanning the crowd non-stop.

She bit her lip tightly, but she still couldn't grab him.

In other words, Maggison... is really Phantom Thief Kidd!

Thinking of this, Barbara's heart felt turbulent, and her mind went blank.

"Barbara, I'm here!"

After yelling at Barbara's position and waving his arms a few times, after confirming that Barbara could not see his current position, Maggison instantly changed his costume and shuttled through the crowd with amazing agility.

Sneaking out of the crowd without anyone noticing...

"Barbara!"

Starling yelled, pulling the thoughtful Barbara back to reality.

"Agent Starling?"

"It was my negligence. I didn't expect so many civilians to gather here. Obviously, there were not many when you came."

Bob walked over with an apologetic expression on his face.

It is very dangerous to be in such a crowded crowd. In case of a stampede accident, the consequences will be disastrous.

It wasn't long after Barbara and Maggison "separated" that Starling spotted Barbara in the crowd and let her in.

However, I found that the little girl looked restless and didn't respond to how she called.

After returning to her senses, Barbara thanked Starling, and then returned to her previous appearance.

She didn't mention that Maggison might be Phantom Thief Kid.

"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence, he won't break free on his own initiative..."

Barbara prayed inwardly.
