Chapter 10 Iceberg Restaurant
"The fickle brother is heading for the final end.
At this time, the second of the twelve trials has been carried out.
When Selene can no longer see Helios from a distance,
I will obey the call of the waves and come to take away the cat's eyes.
Phantom Thief Kidd!"
Looking at the preview letter, Gordon read it out word by word.
"Uh... If I'm not mistaken, you are writing poetry?"
Aaron asked with a strange look on his face, what are you reading.
"This is, the new preview letter of Kaito Kidd!"
Gordon fell into deep thought. From the content of the previous preview letter, it can be seen that this Kaito is a guy who likes to nitpick, but compared with the first letter with obvious meaning, the content of this letter is more elusive.
This is understandable. After all, the first preview letter is so fancy, and no one will take it seriously.
"Who is the fickle brother? The Twelve Trials, Selene? The plot in Greek mythology... Does the wave refer to the sea wave?"
For a moment, Gordon felt a little overwhelmed. He remembered a former criminal who also liked to play these puzzle games. Unfortunately, the person who could successfully solve the puzzles every time is no longer here, which means that he can only solve these problems by himself.
The only thing that can be confirmed is the last sentence. The cat's eyes refer to the target of Kaito Kidd - the recently famous golden green cat's eyes.
"Aaron, call Mr. John Daggett now and ask him if he has received a similar notice letter!"
Thinking of this, Gordon immediately shouted to Aaron.
"I think it's unnecessary now."
At this time, another voice came in, and Blake pushed the door and walked in, saying in a deep voice: "Mr. Daggett just called the police, claiming that he received a notice letter from Kaito Kidd!"
Hearing this, Gordon and Aaron looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Walking on Gotham Avenue, breathing in the excessive PM2.5, Maggieson showed a refreshing smile. He spent a whole day thinking about this notice letter. Although it was not difficult to decipher, it was the first time he thought of the code, and he had an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
He couldn't wait to see Gordon's detectives racking their brains to crack the code, but entering the GCPD was still a bit risky. Sending out the notice letter had already alerted the enemy. I believe Gordon is now strictly investigating everyone in the police station.
Maggieson smiled secretly and walked towards a brightly lit place. Such places are rare in Gotham at night.
If there is another family in Gotham City whose power and financial resources can match Wayne, it is probably only the Cobblepot family. Among the four major families in the past, the Elliot family has long been buried in history, and the Kane family has been a member of the Wayne family because of the lack of male heirs and the intermarriage relationship with the Wayne family for many years.
As for the Cobblepot family, under the leadership of Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, they vigorously developed the black industry and formed the largest gang in Gotham, with extremely amazing power and financial resources.
When Cobblepot was at its strongest, it could even compete with Fisk in New York. Unfortunately, in the eight years since the implementation of the Dent Act, Cobblepot's black industry has shrunk many times, and only a part of it is hidden behind the glamorous appearance.
But the power of the Penguin should not be underestimated. If at least four out of every ten criminal activities in the United States are related to Fisk, then at least two of the remaining crimes are related to Cobblepot.
In today's Gotham, only Cobblepot dares to operate underground transactions blatantly, and the most typical place is the Iceberg Restaurant.
Maggieson pushed open the door of this prestigious restaurant, and immediately two young waitresses in tuxedos came over to greet him.
"Hello, sir. Do you have an appointment? How many people are there?"
McGilson did not speak. He walked straight to the cabinet next to the restaurant's front desk, took out a black umbrella from under the cabinet and placed it upside down on the front desk.
The waitress was confused and could only look at each other.
The front desk receptionist's face changed, "You go down to entertain other guests, I will take care of this one personally."
"Interesting, it seems that not all the employees of the Iceberg Restaurant are Penguin's men. At least on the surface, this is indeed a normal restaurant."
The receptionist led Maggieson to the private room area inside the restaurant. Along the way, Maggieson found that both the hall and the private rooms were full of people eating here, and it didn't look like there was any criminal activity.
But all this is just an appearance. The true face of the Iceberg Restaurant is actually the largest black market exchange in Gotham, but few people know the real way to enter the exchange, and those who know it are not simple people.
After a while, Maggieson was led into the last private room.
"This doesn't seem to be where I want to go."
McGilson asked with a playful look.
"Sir, before I take you 'there', I need you to put this on first."
The receptionist smiled slightly and took out an eye mask. Her tone was quite polite and courteous, not like the attitude of someone engaged in the black industry at all. Come to think of it, in their line of work, you can offend some big shots if you are not careful. The arrogant watchdogs in the movies are almost non-existent.
At the same time, two burly men in suits suddenly broke in from the door and stood behind Maggieson on the left and right.
"Your boss is really cautious. Should I say he is worthy of being Cobert?"
"It's a pity that this caution is a bit too much, so much that it seems like cowardice..."
Maggieson was calm and even in the mood to tease.
"Sir, please watch your words." The smile on the receptionist's face gradually faded.
"The location of the exchange cannot be disclosed. You should understand this rule."
"That also depends on what I want to sell... Wait, it seems to have run to your place..."
Maggieson's left hand suddenly reached for the receptionist's waist, and quickly withdrew it before she came to her senses, and a gem suddenly appeared in his hand.
The moment she saw this thing, the receptionist's face changed drastically. She stared at Maggieson in shock and said in disbelief: "This is... Adam's Star? You are Kaito Kidd!"
"I didn't expect that the recently famous Kaito would have such a mediocre appearance." The receptionist said in amazement.
"Hehe~"
With a chuckle, Maggieson took off his coat casually, and the whole person magically changed into another appearance, which was exactly the appearance of Kaito Kidd.
Because of Maggieson's actions, the two strong men behind him immediately made a posture to attack at any time.
"It was indeed rude not to use my real appearance before, but I didn't expect that the Iceberg Restaurant would dare to build such a conspicuous location on Gotham Avenue. If I used my real appearance, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come here."
The white cloak moved without wind, and the backlight of the monocle flashed by. Maggieson ignored the threat behind him and bowed like a gentleman.
