Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics.

Chapter 86 What is protection?
Dick scanned the crowd vigilantly, but he didn't know that the person who needed the most vigilance was often the one closest to him.

"Hi! Richard, and Dean."

At this time, a crisp female voice sounded from the side.

Barbara came over and greeted the two of them.

"Dick said before that he has a friend who is very popular in GCPD. I should have thought it was you, Miss Gordon."

Dean smiled politely.

"You came a minute and 23 seconds later than expected, Barbara."

Dick looked at his watch and said solemnly.

"Look at what people do, that's why you'll never be as popular as Dean."

Barbara snorted softly, then explained.

"I was late for a reason. Just now I saw my dad talking with a group of outsiders. They seemed to be talking about the adjustment of security positions after the official exhibition began."

"Wow, are you sure this is news I can hear?"

Dean exaggerated.

"You two are the daughter of the police chief, and the eldest son of the Wayne family. It's normal to know some secrets. I'm a small family, shouldn't I avoid it?"

Dick couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said, "The cold joke you told is not funny at all, not even cold."

"Don't forget who we are today. We are police detectives, and our only goal is to investigate Kaitou Kidd."

"You're pretty deep into the show." Dean complained.

"There's one thing I'm really curious about, Miss Gordon, why would you want to play a game of cops and thieves with this guy?"

Dean turned to look at Barbara, pointed to Dick and asked.

"Just call me Barbara, Dean, it doesn't have to be formal all the time."

Barbara corrected the address first, and then replied: "This kid said he wanted to be a policeman. This reminds me of myself back then. If it wasn't because of my father's overprotection of me, maybe I would be a female police officer now...Of course, it may be more likely to be killed in a certain corner."

"Since he has the idea of ​​becoming a policeman and plans to practice it, why don't I help him, even if it's just to play a game."

Well, they came up with a barely plausible excuse to convince Dean, a regular guy, that they were really only doing this for Dick's dream of being a cop.

Dean actually knew that Dick and Barbara wanted to use their magic ability to see if they could restrain Kaito Kidd in this regard.

But at the same time, they had to ensure that Dean would not think of their secret identities, and they had to use various reasons to cover up Dean's suspicions.

Even Dean began to wonder how Dick and Barbara would disappear logically when Robin and Batgirl came out.
It can be said that the degree of hard work of the two parties in a certain aspect is actually highly consistent.

"...Actually, I came here today for another matter."

Suddenly, Barbara turned her head to look at Dean, and said solemnly, "That's just to see you!"

There was a deep apology in her eyes, which could be seen from the heart.

"When we met in the library before, I forced you to eat cheese and beef rolls in order to prevent the cafeteria from changing the recipe. I have always wanted to apologize to you."

Dean knew that was not what Barbara was talking about, but he couldn't make it too obvious.

So, he decided to pretend to be stupid.

"Ah? Oh! I remembered, it really happened. I almost forgot if you didn't mention it. Hey! What a big deal, the cheese beef roll is not bad."

"Ahem! Barbara, let's talk about the business first. What's the matter with the adjustment of the security position?"

Dick next to him coughed twice, interrupting the embarrassing performance of the two.

"I don't know the specifics. I just overheard a sentence or two after passing by them."

Barbara's complexion was correct, "It is certain that the 'Hope Blue Diamond' will not be exhibited in any public exhibition hall, but will be exhibited in a separate exhibition hall."

"It is said that this independent exhibition hall was specially built for the 'Hope Blue Diamond' by curator Offi at a large price, and it is equipped with the most advanced civilian security system."

"Where is this exhibition hall?"

Dick asked quickly.

"They were going that way at that time, if I remember correctly, it was in that direction."

Barbara led the way, and Shuangdi followed.

"Except for the independent exhibition hall of 'Hope Blue Diamond', the entire exhibition hall has been more or less upgraded."

While walking, Barbara introduced.

"For example, the glass windows that used to be very common are now replaced with high-strength glass materials that are fire-proof, explosion-proof, and high-temperature resistant, which are far stronger than the commonly used bullet-proof glass. And almost every high-value collection is equipped with a high-sensitivity gravity sensor alarm. Once a change in gravity of a few grams is detected, the alarm will be triggered, and then the doors of all exhibition halls will be automatically closed in an instant, and the strength of these doors is manufactured according to the air-raid shelter standard."

"And in order to avoid power outages caused by damage to the power supply, all those that can be equipped with a backup power supply will be equipped with an additional power supply for equipment, and those that cannot be prepared will also prepare two power supply lines that do not interfere with each other. Cutting off only one will not achieve the power outage effect."

Good guy, the protection work of the regular public exhibition hall has come to this point, and the "Hope Blue Diamond" that can enjoy the independent exhibition hall must be even more terrifying.

This is definitely a serious challenge.

Dean thought to himself.

Not long after, the three of them came to an exhibition hall that was clearly isolated from other exhibition halls.

More than a dozen police officers gathered around the exhibition hall, preventing anyone from approaching the door.

Seeing this battle, they knew they were in the right place.

The area of ​​this exhibition hall is very small, less than ten square meters. After all, there is only one exhibit of 'Hope Blue Diamond' in it.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the space is a bit too big.

"Barbara?"

Bullock, who was guarding the gate as always, had sharp eyes and immediately saw the three Barbara on the other side of the corridor.

"And Dick and the...Surston boy?"

Bullock came over and said to the three of them: "Hey! Children, the area behind this is not yet open to the public. You should go to other places to visit."

"Uncle Bullock, are my father and the person in charge of the 'Hope Blue Diamond' sent by the Smithsonian Museum in there?"

Barbara glanced at the door of the independent exhibition hall behind and asked.

Upon hearing Barbara's words, Brock suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"What do you want to do this time, Barbara?"

Bullock warned: "Don't forget, Jim said that the Museum of Natural History was the first and last time he agreed to you to participate in the GCPD's work on Kaitou Kidd."

"What's more, you are bringing two minors with you this time. If you don't want to see your father go crazy, then go home quickly."

"Then have any of you unlocked the notice letter from Kaito Kidd?"

Barbara smiled and asked back.

The reason why she and Dick unlocked the content of the notice letter but did not tell the police is for now.
