Chapter 2 Gordon's Suspicion

"I don't want to pay attention to the notice letter circulating on the Internet, Aaron, take your men to disperse these onlookers, go now!"

Gordon felt a headache.

What exactly does this Kaito Kidd want to do?

Sending a notice letter to the police station can be considered as an extremely confident criminal. Notifying the police in advance is just to show off his high IQ. This happened quite often eight years ago.

But inviting civilians to watch him steal things?

Even a crazy person like the Joker can't do this!

Gordon has a hunch that the upcoming Kaito may be one of the most difficult opponents in his career. No, maybe not "one of them".

According to Gordon's past experience, no matter what the purpose of this Kaito's spreading the news is, he can't do it. Since he wants people to flock to him, Gordon will leave this place empty!

"Hey! Commissioner Gordon, you have no right to drive us away. Gotham Exhibition Hall is a public place! And we are here to attend the exhibition!"

Seeing Aaron calling hundreds of Gotham police officers behind him to drive these reporters out, the reporter in the peaked cap immediately shouted.

"Okay, okay... Which newspaper are you a reporter from? Why have I never seen you before?"

Gordon suddenly stared at the peaked cap with sharp eyes, which scared the reporter.

"I'm sorry, sir, you know very well what the current situation means, I have to doubt you... What's more, your face has been hidden under the brim of your hat from the beginning. You don't want others to see your face clearly, right?"

"Hey! Commissioner Gordon, are you suspecting that I am the thief with a mental disorder?"

After being startled, the peaked cap came to his senses and immediately raised his head, revealing the face of a decadent young man with stubble.

"My name is Eddie Brock. I'm not a reporter from Gotham, but from the New York Daily Bugle. This is my work ID."

Eddie took out his ID and handed it to Gordon, and quickly said, "I know it doesn't make sense for a New York reporter to appear here, but in fact I just came here for vacation and happened to know about this."

The Daily Bugle is a well-known newspaper in the United States. Gordon took the work ID and saw that there was indeed no problem, but he still did not rule out the possibility of forged ID.

And the coincidental vacation made Gordon more suspicious of Eddie.

Gordon winked at Aaron, and Aaron immediately understood and called the Daily Bugle to confirm Eddie's statement.

Soon, Aaron hung up the phone and nodded to Gordon. What Eddie said was true.

Although he always felt something was wrong, it was obvious that Eddie had cleared his suspicion, so Gordon had to apologize to Eddie.

"Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, there are a few words I have to say."

Eddie was open-minded and didn't care about what happened before. On the contrary, he showed a strong interest in this incident.

"Listen, officers, I know that Gotham's peace has been maintained by you over the years, and you are most reluctant to see the chaos of eight years ago reappear here."

"So this sudden appearance of Kaito Kidd has brought back some of your memories, making you so anxious that you have to drive these innocent civilians out of the exhibition hall..."

"Believe me, gentlemen, this decision is not only illegal, but also a bit stupid!"

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, the irritable Aaron immediately shouted.

"I don't know why Kaito Kidd announced his plan to the public, but I know one thing, that is, stealing things will always happen when no one is around, otherwise it will become robbery."

Gordon understood it immediately.

"You mean, he did it on purpose to mislead us?"

"What else? Oh, yes, of course it is also possible that the so-called Kaito Kidd is a cover from beginning to end. This is just a joke. Otherwise, there is no way to explain the absurdity of a thief needing people to watch."

"More importantly, the notice has spread in Gotham, and there will be a steady stream of people coming here. You can't drive everyone away. After all, the exhibition is for the whole Gotham rather than a specific group of people."

Gordon nodded. Eddie was right. He really couldn't stop people from attending the exhibition, but he still felt something was wrong.

This is an indescribable intuition. Gordon doesn't believe this is a cover, but he really can't think of anyone who can steal the Star of Adam under the gaze of countless people.

Even if he mixed into the crowd, the huge flow of people would block all his escape routes, which is not conducive to getting away.

The police only need to strictly guard all exits, even a top thief like Catwoman can't escape...

No!

There is another possibility!

That is, Kaito Kidd is real, but stealing things is fake. His real purpose is to gather people to the exhibition hall and then carry out a bombing attack!

Committing crimes in this way is in line with the customs of Gotham!

Seeing Gordon still thinking deeply, "Eddie" couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Should I say that Jim Gordon is indeed worthy of his name... He is still hesitating. He knows that the exhibition hall will never be closed because of the notice, but he still wants to stop people from gathering here..."

That's right, this "Eddie" is not the real Eddie, but is pretended by Maggieson!

Of course, Eddie Brock does exist, and it is true that he came here when he accidentally learned about the notice while on vacation in Gotham.

As for the real Eddie, he should still be sleeping in his own car now...

Reporter is a good identity. He can legitimately ask the police various questions, including some of their arrangements, and he will not be suspected even if he can't get an answer.

As for why Maggieson spread his own notice, it is to facilitate infiltration, but more importantly...

If there is no audience, wouldn't it be a failure for Kaito Kidd's debut?

"You are right."

Gordon sighed as more and more civilians came after hearing the news.

"Aaron, lead your team to guard the gate. There is still a long time before the exhibition starts. No one is allowed to enter the hall during this period!"

"The exit of the exhibition hall is only a narrow back door besides the main entrance. Only two police officers are needed to guard it."

Gordon first instructed an experienced old police officer, and then shouted to a young police officer behind the team: "Rookie, you follow too!"

"Yes, sir."

Magison glanced at the young police officer. Combined with the title of "rookie", he should be a newcomer to GCPD.

The newcomer at this time period is most likely John Blake, the future Robin.

"By the way, including these reporters, no one is allowed to enter!"

Gordon took a deep look at "Eddie", and Magison saw some doubt in his eyes.

Even with the confirmation of the Daily Bugle, Gordon was still worried.

"I really thought too much. I thought reporters in a free country would have considerable power, but the police's arrangements would never be made public."

Magison was not panicked. This was expected. After all, his identity as a reporter allowed him to observe many police officers at close range...

Gordon ignored the barking reporters and led hundreds of his men into the exhibition hall.

Aaron and a team of police officers stayed at the main entrance. Together with the dozen security guards at the beginning, there were nearly thirty people in total, all armed with guns.

They stood in a row to block the entrance, and no one dared to step forward.

At this time, no one noticed that the reporter "Eddie" from New York had disappeared...

After the personnel for the entrance and exit were arranged, Gordon led the large force into the exhibition hall and arranged all the defense lines.

John Blake followed his predecessor to the back door, which was still a dark alley as always. It has to be said that this is very Gotham.
