Chapter 71 Is it him or her? (Please collect! Please follow up!)
"Can you explain to me, Ogilvy?"

Penguin's tone was normal, and his movements of taking the photo were gentle and slow.

Under his gaze, although Ogilvy showed a slight surprise on his face, he didn't see any expression of panic and dodge.

Until the Penguin showed the photo in front of Ogilvy, the latter shook his head and said after carefully looking at the person in the photo.

"Boss, I'm sure I haven't seen this person in my impression."

That's right, the photo that the Penguin took out was not the man who was silenced by Ogilvy.

"Damn old penguin, almost thought that something was wrong, but it turned out that he was trying to cheat me?"

Ogilvy secretly hated him, but fortunately his mental quality was not bad, he forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and did not show any suspicious mood swings.

Otherwise, he would have been scammed by Penguin just now.

He could even guess that he was definitely not the only one who had been asked this question, probably all the members in the room had already been tested by the penguin.

"Really? Isn't he the one you killed in the casino?"

Penguin asked in a pretense of surprise.

"The figures seem to be a bit similar, but the faces of the two of them are very different. Someone must have misunderstood them."

Ogilvy said without hesitation: "I killed that man in the casino because he was playing blackjack. According to the rules, I can't let him live."

Dare to kill people in the Iceberg Casino, Ogilvy naturally prepared his speech in advance, he asked his men to play blackjack and pretend to be out of money before entering the casino.

The reason for doing this is because Ogilvy's subordinate is not an insider of the Penguin Gang, but a manpower developed by himself. There are many similar existences, hidden in every corner of Gotham, and everyone has a one-way connection with Ogilvy.

Obviously, it is impossible for an outsider to meet the croupier for no reason, unless there is some necessary factor, such as exposing thousands.

Of course, it can't be real, because this is the rule of Bingshan Casino, no matter who it is, it will die.

As long as Ogilvy's subordinates make a few subtle and strange movements in the surveillance records, so that others will think that he is cheating when they see it, then they can logically interview Ogilvy without being suspected.

In the end, it was clarified that it was a misunderstanding, and Ogilvy let him go without breaking Penguin's rules.

Unfortunately, all of this was just a lie from Ogilvy. He never intended to let that subordinate leave alive. If the Penguin asked about killing people in the casino, Ogilvy would have a seamless reason.

"All the records from yesterday are still stored in the casino, among them are the pictures of him cheating."

Ogilvy said to Penguin.

"Hmm... so that's what happened. Since you said that, someone must have read it wrong."

Penguin nodded thoughtfully, as if he believed Ogilvy's words.

"I'm very satisfied with your plan to deal with the Kaitou Kidd, and you will be fully responsible for implementing it afterwards, because my next focus will be on another matter, and I don't have time to deal with that thief."

Having said that, Penguin's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Lack and Grey Tad have been with me for more than ten years, and now they have been killed for no apparent reason. If I don't even give a hint, I'm afraid the whole Gotham will be in chaos!"

He looked at the other subordinates in the room, and said coldly: "Call all the crime families in Gotham, we are going to have a long-lost party..."
-
At the same time, at the gate of Chandler Manor.

A dozen reporters gathered here, interviewing the haggard Mrs. Chandler.

The camera's flash clicked on.

Mrs. Chandler stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, with a calm expression and a calm demeanor.

Although her complexion is not as good as before, and the wrinkles on her face are clearly visible, the dignified and luxurious demeanor of the big family is still well maintained.

"Mrs. Chandler, the Phantom Thief Kidd stole the family heirloom of the Chandler family. You seem to be very calm. Don't you resent the Phantom Thief Kidd?"

One of the young female reporters, who was black and straight, asked.

"It is rumored that every time Kaitou Kidd steals treasures, he will return them to the original owner after a period of time. If Kaitou Kidd has not changed his habit, then the dragon egg ruby ​​necklace should also be returned."

Mrs. Chandler smiled slightly, and replied: "Since the necklace will always come back to me, why should I resent Kaito Kidd?"

There is only one person who really needs to be resented!

thought Mrs. Chandler resentfully.

"Your mind is really broad, and you are worthy of being the current head of the Chandler family."

The female reporter said with a look of longing, and then continued to ask: "Mrs. Chandler, the first public exhibition of the dragon egg ruby ​​necklace is organized by the Chandler family and the Copperpot family."

"Oswald Copperpot, the sole heir of the Copperpot family, is the leader of Gotham's largest criminal group and has multiple criminal records. May I ask why you want to cooperate with someone with such a reputation?"

"Some people once suspected that there was some kind of inside story about the holding of the exhibition. It might even be under the coercion of Copperpot that the Chandler family had no choice but to agree to this cooperation. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Chandler's complexion changed, and she said anxiously: "No comment!"

"Okay, I have one last question, what can you see from the sky?"

Mrs. Chandler looked at the female reporter suspiciously, not understanding what the other party wanted to ask.

She raised her head slowly, and her pupils shrank when she looked at the sky.

I saw a strange white balloon appearing in the sky at some point, and it was gradually falling towards the ground. There seemed to be some box-like object tied to the bottom of the balloon.

And on the balloon, there is an extremely eye-catching cartoon head of Kaitou Kidd!
Mrs. Chandler seemed to think of something instantly, and quickly lowered her head to look at the female reporter who had just asked the question.

However, just looking up, the reporter had disappeared. When asked other reporters and photographers, no one knew the female reporter, and no one noticed her leaving.

At first, Mrs. Chandler tried to find the figure of the man in the crowd below, but she quickly gave up this idea.

If the Kaitou Kidd is so easy to find, it is impossible for him to be active until now and not be caught.

But... Recalling the young female reporter who was dressed in professional attire, with a bulging front and back, a marked figure, fair skin, beautiful skin and a good voice, Mrs. Chandler couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Is Kaitou Kid really a "he" and not a "she"?

After a while, the balloon was as low as Mrs. Chandler could reach out.

She took the box tied under the balloon and opened it to have a look.

Sure enough, what was inside was the dragon egg ruby ​​necklace.
