Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

"It's not easy to see your smiling face."

Alfred quipped.

"Ha, let's not talk about it yet, Afu, what do you think about this notice."

Bruce chuckled slightly. Since the strange thief Kidd appeared, his inexplicable mood has become a lot easier these days.

"Master Wayne, the code designed by Kaito Kidd is a bit of a standard, but it's still a lot worse than Riddler."

"Yeah, the riddles that Edward designed back then almost made me want to break my head."

Alfred smiled happily, not only because of Bruce's rare joke, but also because he was finally willing to mention something from the past.

"How much did you unlock?" Bruce asked.

"GCPD did not make any response or reply."

"No, you know I'm not talking about the police."

"Mostly, I only know the date and location of the crime kidd, and his goal."

Alfred said truthfully, if it were a riddler's riddle, he might not be able to solve anything.

Bruce nodded, "Well, let's talk about it, maybe we two will have different opinions."

"The easiest first came. He said he wanted to take away the cat's eyes. There is no doubt that the target is the opal. The most famous and valuable one in Gotham recently... is the only one taken by Dagett not long ago. Golden and green cat eyes."

Having said this, Alfred’s expression suddenly became weird, “Although it’s not good to say that, but when I learned that it was Daggett, I have to admit that I was very happy for a while.”

This is because during the eight years of Bruce’s seclusion, Wayne’s business conditions were very unoptimistic. Basically, the annual revenue growth was negative, which made many board members feel dissatisfied. They were all shareholders of Wayne’s. Daggett holds the largest share. He is ambitious and wants to control Wayne, but he has never had a chance.

The second largest shareholder is Miranda Tate, a female philanthropist and one of the few members of the board who support Bruce, even though that is actually an illusion...

Obviously, Wayne has resigned from his relatives, but the isolated boss Bruce knew nothing about it, only Alfred saw some clues.

Bruce didn't care about the metaphor in Alfred's words, he added.

"After being photographed by Dagett, the golden-green cat's eye was placed in his private collection. It is located at the southernmost tip of Xiacheng Island, close to the Atlantic Ocean. Because it is summer, the wind will blow from the ocean to the mainland, and the waves are mostly pointing. It is the direction of the waves, which means that he will detour from the Atlantic in some way to get to Gert's collection."

That's right, Alfred thought so too.

"The last is the date. The first two sentences refer to the date."

Alfred affirmed: "The fickle brother is talking about Gemini, and the second item of the twelve trials led to the birth of Cancer. That is to say, the time of the crime kidd is the last day of Gemini to Cancer. Between the first day, June 21st to 22nd!"

"Only the last sentence, when Selene could not see Helios in the distance, I am not sure what this sentence means."

Alfred sighed and said.

"Papa~Papa~Papa"

Bruce clapped approvingly.

"It's great, Afu, so far, you and I have the same thoughts. As for the last unresolved sentence, I already have a clue. It says the exact time when the thief Kidd did it."

"In fact, the content of this notice is very simple, as long as you read about Greek mythology, you can understand it."

"Selene is called the moon **** in Greek mythology, and Helios is the sun god."

"Oh, sorry, Lord Wayne, isn't the sun **** Apollo in Greek mythology?"

"That's the difficulty!" Bruce's eyes were playful. "Apollo is usually described as the sun **** in popular Greek mythology. Of course he is indeed also, but he is the successor of Helios."

"It is recorded in Hesiod’s "The Book of Gods" that Helios was the son of the Titan gods Hyperion and Thea, and the brother of the moon **** Selene and the dawn goddess Eos. They belonged to this line. The **** of the world is responsible for bringing light to the world."

"In this way, Selene is the moon, and Helios is the sun. What you can't look at in the distance is—"

"The moon and the sun are separated by another celestial body, it is a lunar eclipse!" Alfred said in surprise, but the next moment he rejected this explanation.

"No, according to the observatory's estimate, the lunar eclipse should have occurred on June 26, which is not the same as the date on the notice."

"Yes, so it does not refer to a lunar eclipse, which means that it is not the earth that separates the moon from the sun, but an artificial satellite!"

Bruce categorically cut the railroad.

"When the man-made satellite is between the moon and the sun, at nine o'clock in the evening, it's time for Kidd to start!"

On the other hand, McGinson didn't know that his notice had been cracked by Batman, and he was busy choosing a stronghold now.

Holding the 170 million paid by the Penguin in his hand, McGieson first forged a series of identity documents for himself, which of course was not true.

After that, he came to Wayne Real Estate. There was no way. It was difficult to find things that didn't match Wayne in Gotham.

"Mr. DiCaprio, what kind of property do you need?"

McGyson dressed up as it was on his ID, wearing a low-key and high-end suit. The little beauty agent knew at a glance that it might be a big order, so he hurried over to talk to McGyson.

"I need a single-family villa with a large floor area and a quiet environment. It is best if there is little traffic and the price does not matter."

Hearing that, the intermediary's breathing was stagnant, and she felt that the guest's last words were too manly, she liked this kind of young, handsome and golden man...

With a restless heart, she introduced the best properties to McGieson one by one.

"Look at this villa. It covers a total area of ​​1,000 square meters. The villa covers an area of ​​more than 600 square meters. It is located at the southeast end of the Diamond District. The environment is absolutely quiet..."

McGieson interrupted her before she was finished.

"Not in the Diamond District."

The agent had to change to another villa.

"This one, covering an area of ​​750 square meters and a villa area of ​​500 square meters, is located near the Robert Kane Memorial Bridge. Can it meet your requirements?"

Memorial bridge? There are indeed not many people, McGieson thought for a while, and finally shook his head.

The Memorial Bridge is in the Eastern District, which is the most chaotic place in Gotham. Almost half of all crimes are committed here.

Although the Memorial Bridge is on the edge of the Eastern District, it may be bombed one day.

The agent frowned, she felt that the customer was not so picky.

Seven or eight villas were introduced one after another, all of which were rejected by McGieson.

"Sorry sir, we only have the last villa that meets your requirements, but I do not recommend you to choose this one."

In the end, the intermediary lady can only move out of that...

"Oh? Let me see, a luxurious villa manor, covering an area of ​​1,700 square meters, with a villa area of ​​820 square meters, four floors above and below, and a basement with a large space. The overall decoration is also very good... to be honest Just looking at the condition of the villa itself, I like this one the most."

"But this manor is in the Audisburg area."

Audisburg is the largest industrial zone in Gotham. It was originally not well-known, but because of an accident in a factory, someone was born. Now no one dares to settle there. This factory is the famous ACE chemical plant. .

The intermediary lady was very helpless. She was ready to be denied again. She failed to sell any house today. It seems that this month is going to be a tight life again.

"I like this set, so I choose it!"
