When the Apollo Gem was returned by Kidd, everyone immediately thought that it was Sergeant Gordon's credit. It was his righteous words that made Kidd cower. At the same time, they also thought that Kidd was a coward. He actually returned the priceless gemstone just because of a few words from a sheriff. They had never seen such a timid thief.
After the appraisal, it was confirmed that the Apollo Gem was genuine, and the incident with the strange thief, Kidd, was over. Even Bruce Wayne felt that his previous efforts to find the strange thief Kidd had been in vain. This thief was simply a coward and did not have the potential to become a vicious criminal. This was good too. Gotham City already had enough criminals. There was no need for another thief. However, he felt that something was wrong with him.
"Young Master Bruce, it seems that you don't have to worry about the rise of a new criminal. This strange thief seems to lack a little courage.”Butler Alfred walked into the bat cave with a cup of coffee.
" I checked the museum's facilities and found that Kidd was indeed a thief who was very good at using magic traps. He didn't disappear through the skylight like the witnesses said, but entered and exited through the ventilation duct. In order to make the performance more effective, he tied a thin wire to the skylight frame in advance, making it more ornamental and dramatic when he stole.”
"Just like you, Young Master."
"No, my costume is to make people afraid, and the thief Gid is just showing off his magic tricks. Perhaps he was just a timid magician who had given up on being a thief because of Gordon's words. If that was the case, it would be a good result. Otherwise, I would have no choice but to continue pursuing him.”
"Show off your magic tricks? Could it be that he returned the Apollo Gem because his goal was not to steal but to show off his skills?”the old butler reminded.
Bruce fell into deep thought. If that was the case, there would soon be a second notice letter. Then, he could let the thief know that stealing was not a way to show off his skills. Although the crime was not serious, it was still a crime.
Kidd's performance had just begun, and he needed more audiences.
" The lion's tail, the swan's lake, I will steal the black swan's tears.”
An entire advertisement trailer was filled with arrogance. This was arrogance. This time, there would definitely be a lot of audience members rushing over to support him.
The people from Channel 3 also saw this arrogant trailer and the station head said happily,"Those who called the thief Ji De a coward have been slapped in the face this time. Assellin, Liu, you must get first-hand information this time and let Gotham City know the capabilities of our three channels.”
Assellin raised her hand and said," But Director, I don't understand the notice letter of the thief Gid at all. What lion's tail, swan's lakeside? I'm not sure when and where he will make his move."”
"I know that too, so I found a friend in the jewelry industry to investigate Black Swan's Tears. He said that Black Swan's Tears is the treasure of a jewelry store under Wayne's name and has been kept in Gotham Central Bank. However, because Bruce Wayne is holding a charity exhibition, the gemstone will be on tour for the next week. The locations were the Gotham Hotel, Gotham Theater, and Gotham Park. Therefore, the thief must have acted during the exhibition. As long as you follow the exhibition, you will definitely get first-hand information.”
"That was an entire week, and there were only the two of us. We're not Hercules, nor are we Rambo. How could we have watched the whole time?”Liu Adou spoke the truth.
"Not the entire journey, just at night. Of course, if you can understand the meaning of the notice letter, you can wait until the thief takes action before going to the scene. You guys are the best employees of TV 3, so keep it up.”
Liu Adou was already immune to the Station Head's verbal praise.
Assellin, on the other hand, seriously thought about the contents of the advance notice letter. She couldn't spend a week waiting aimlessly. She needed time to do some private things. It seemed that he could only start by unraveling the secret of the advance notice letter.
The bat cave.
Butler Alfred was still meticulous."Young Master, you have to know that the Wayne Family didn't build a huge manor to cover this cave. You should spend more time in the manor.”
"I haven't learned the art of a gardener.”
"I meant to hold a ball in the manor.”
Alfred always used his own way to make Bruce relax. A few wisecracks were the only pastime for him.
Putting down the fragrant tea, Alfred saw Bruce staring at the notice letter in the newspaper with a frown.
"It's obvious that Gid hasn't given up on stealing to show off his magic tricks. Young Master, what did you see in this notice letter?”
Bruce Wayne was not only a superhero, but also an excellent tactical master and an excellent detective: " He hid the time and place of his action in the notice letter. The tail of the lion refers to the last date of Leo, the first day of the exhibition, which is August 22nd between ten and midnight. Swan Lake referred to the location, but it was unclear whether it was Gotham Theater or Gotham Park, because both places had swan lakesides.”
"Indeed. Gotham Theater's first public performance was Swan Lake. From then on, the theater was indeed called Swan Lake, but that was a long time ago, long before you were born.”The old butler thought that it was unlikely that they would make a move at the theater because it had been too long." Gotham Park doesn't have a lake called Swan Lake, but there are a few swan fountains. I think Swan Lake refers to the side of the swan fountain.”
"But the exhibition on August 22nd is clearly at the Gotham Hotel. These two pieces of information are completely contradictory.”As the sponsor of the charity exhibition, Bruce Wayne naturally knew the process very well, so he really couldn't figure out the details.
However, the gemstone belonged to the Wayne family. Bruce decided to install a signal transmitter on the gemstone. Even if the gemstone was stolen, he could still find the strange thief, Kidd. This was a piece of cake. Bruce Wayne immediately went out and drove his 'low-key' supercar.
Bruce Wayne's sudden visit to Wayne Enterprise's 'small' jewelry store in the bustling city center flattered the manager. Wayne Industries was a giant in Gotham City. Sometimes, even Bruce himself didn't know how many businesses his family had.
"Sir, are you here because of the notice letter? Do you need us to change the gemstones on display?”The store manager asked carefully. The other party was his big boss, so he had to treat him seriously.
"No, I'm just curious that our family has such a magical gem that I don't know about, so I came to see what Black Swan's Tears look like before it was stolen.”These words were the bold words of a rich second-generation heir who was not afraid of squandering. He was not worried or distressed at all.
However, he was the heir to all of the Wayne family's businesses, so the manager could only roll his eyes in his heart."Sir, we've already contacted the police. We'll definitely protect the gemstone.”
"That's good. Do you mind if I take a look now?”
"Of course, but the gemstone is still in the bank's safe. I'll take you there.”As he spoke, he took a car to the bank.
Bruce only took a glance and installed a signal transmitter under the gemstone's base without anyone noticing. This way, even if it was stolen, he could track it and capture the strange thief Kidd.
