"Wayne Manor hasn't had any guests for a long time, Master Richard, it's a good thing you invited friends over, it will add a lot of vitality to the lifeless house."

"If possible, I hope you can invite more friends in the future, especially friends from school."

After listening to Dick's thoughts, Alfred nodded happily.

He turned to look at Dean eagerly, opened the back door and said, "Mr. Suston, Wayne Manor is located in the outer suburbs, and the journey is a bit far away. Please get in the car. It will take a while to reach your destination."

"Thank you, Mr. Pennyworth."

Dean thanked him naturally, without being pretentious, and got into the car directly through the door Alfred opened.

Dick got in through the other door.

"I'm really glad that Master Richard can invite friends to the house. You may not believe it, Mr. Sarston, you are the first person of your age to be invited by Master Richard to Wayne Manor, not counting the girls he associates with."

Alfred sat in the driver's seat, and said with a look of relief.

"I don't mean to say that it's not good to get along with girls, but I don't want Master Richard's interpersonal circle to completely become like Master Bruce's. There are only women around him, and he can never make a true friend. I hope that Master Richard can have more pure friendship."

He's not saying this to make up his own boss, because everyone in Gotham knows about Bruce Wayne's affairs, and that's the image Bruce wants people to think of him.

"Really? Then I'm really honored."

Dean really didn't expect that he was the first friend invited by Dick to Wayne Manor.

Uh... It's not right to say friends, the gang of Teen Titans must have been to Wayne Manor, they should be non-superhero friends.

Speaking of the Teen Titans, this is an organization of teenage superheroes, originally formed by a coalition of sidekicks from members of the Justice League, and later absorbed many independent teenage heroes.

The establishment time is only about half a year later than the Justice League, and Dick is the founder and leader of the Teen Titans.

However, the frequency of the Teen Titans appearing in the news is not as high as that of the Justice League. After all, they are all minors. They usually go to school even if they are heroes, and they often only get together on weekends.

"Speaking of which, the other people in Teen Titans are very strong. If Dick asks them to help, I will suffer a lot, but I know he will never do this, just like Batman will never let the Justice League intervene in Gotham, and they will not easily intervene in other people's cities."

Dean didn't quite understand this strange sense of territory.

On the way to Wayne Manor, Alfred and Dean chatted without saying a word.

This allowed Dean to know a lot of secrets about the Wayne family. They were said to be secrets, but they were all unexpected and reasonable things for Gotham people.

None of the content goes beyond what ordinary citizens of Gotham know about the Wayne family.

The strange thing is that Dick, who originally extended an invitation to Dean, suddenly fell silent at this moment, and kept looking out of the car window without saying a word.

The sky gradually dimmed and night fell.

At this moment, Dean's address, the Saston mansion.

A black figure wearing tights and bulging forward sneaked into the small villa at some point.

The unusually eye-catching bat helmet and the bat logo on the chest clearly revealed the identity of the future man.

Batgirl - Barbara Gordon.

Why she appeared at Dean's house, it was time for her to point out the suspect of Kaitou Kidd to Dick in the morning.

Since Dick didn't believe that Kaito Kidd was Dean, the two decided to test Dean.

And the plan they set was to let Dick do everything possible to hold Dean, and Barbara took this time to search Dean's address to see if she could find some clues.

Barbara had previously hacked into Gotham's real estate trade network to investigate, so she was sure that the only real estate under Dean's name was the Sarston House.

If Dean is Kaito Kidd, then most of his crime tools are hidden here. Even if Dean uses a false identity to prepare a safe house, it cannot be perfect, and there must be traces.

The reason why Dick chose to invite Dean as soon as school was over today was to try his best to prevent Dean from realizing that he was suspected and to transfer away the relevant clues at home in advance.

Not long ago, Gordon, who knew the time of Kaito Kidd's crime, dismissed most of the guards in the museum, leaving only a small number of people to watch the night in the museum.

Barbara bid farewell to Gordon on the grounds of attending a karate training class, and rushed to the Suston mansion without stopping.

"The room is a bit messy, and the items are arranged irregularly. It looks like an ordinary man. The biggest difference is that although the room is a bit messy, it feels very clean."

Barbara first walked around Dean's bedroom, carefully examining every corner.

She opened the wardrobe and the bedside table one by one, rummaged through them, and even rummaged through the pockets of each piece of clothing.

People sometimes leave some items in their pockets and forget them. Even if the probability is low, they must be searched thoroughly.

After searching for a long time, no doubts were found, including the entrance to the secret room and the like.

Then Barbara moved to other rooms and searched every corner of Suston's house.

In the end only the basement remained.

Walking into the basement with the bat flashlight in hand, Barbara cautiously walked down the stairs and pushed open the basement door.

I saw an open space filled with various dazzling magic props, each of which had obvious signs of use.

There are so many magic props that there is almost no place to stay in the entire basement.

"This should be where Dean Suston practices magic."

Barbara thought to herself.

As Dean, there is nothing wrong with placing these things in the basement, and Barbara can tell with a cursory glance that Dean has practiced with these props for quite a long time.

No wonder he became a famous and talented magician at such a young age.

Casually flipping through the pile of props, Barbara knew that there should be no clues about Kaitou Kidd here.

"It seems that Dean is really not Kaitou Kidd, I suspect the wrong person..."

Barbara, who was exhausted after searching for a long time but found nothing, came to sit by the wall and stared at the four walls of the basement in a daze for a while.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Barbara suddenly realized that something was wrong.
