Chapter 4 Silver Wings in the Moonlight
"In the silent night, he quietly descended in front of us. His eyes seemed to see through everything, revealing a fearless smile."
"Wearing a cloak and a top hat, without any unnecessary movements, his face was not clearly visible under the monocle and backlight, but he looked surprisingly young. He was in his thirties, twenties, or even younger!"
Many years later, Jim Gordon gave this evaluation when he recalled the first time he saw Kaito Kidd...
"Is that Kaito Kidd?"
"It should be! But why is he wearing a white suit?"
"I don't know, I just know that the suit is obviously a very old-fashioned style, but it has an indescribable charm when worn on him!"
"He is even more elegant than British gentlemen!"
"Yes, he looks so cool!"
White is the most eye-catching color in the dark, and many people have taken out their mobile phones and turned on the flashlight function to shine on Kaito Kidd, which makes Maggieson the focus of the audience. In this case, it is also difficult for him to get rid of the crowd's sight.
"The man who threatened to steal the gems actually dressed like this, it's simply humiliating the police!"
Gordon's face looked extremely ugly at this time, and he also doubted his own caution. In Gordon's heart, he had silently labeled Kaito Kidd as "sensational".
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."
McGilson smiled politely, his voice seemed to have a kind of magic, and the crowd really stopped talking.
"I believe everyone has guessed my identity. Yes, I am Kaito Kidd, and I am here today to take away the Star of Adam."
"Don't joke!"
A roar interrupted Maggieson's speech.
"The farce is over! Kaito Kidd, you've been arrested!"
Gordon took out a pistol and pointed it at McGinson, saying coldly: "This place has been surrounded by the police, you can't escape!"
"Although you haven't stolen the gems, delivering false notices and causing explosions to destroy the power supply system are also crimes. I hope you can reflect on the pranks you did today in prison!"
The police on the scene and the police hiding in the dark acted at the same time, pointing their guns at McGinson.
"Prank?"
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Kaito Kidd didn't even have any emotional fluctuations, as if he didn't take the dozens of pistols seriously at all, but was more interested in Gordon's words.
"No, no, no, I don't have the habit of doing pranks or telling jokes. More importantly, who said I didn't steal the Star of Adam?"
"I want to let you know what the consequences of humiliating the police will be!"
Aaron Cash's forehead was bulging with veins, and he wished he could shoot the guy in front of him who dared to despise them.
"Don't be impulsive, Aaron."
Gordon patted Aaron's shoulder and stared at Maggieson calmly.
"Okay, I believe you came here for the Star of Adam, but it's a pity that it's now lying safely in the bulletproof glass cover behind me, and you have no chance to touch it."
"Really, are you sure?"
Maggieson asked back, with a mocking smile on his lips.
Hearing this, Gordon's pupils shrank, and he immediately turned back to look at the glass cover, and then his face changed drastically.
The Star of Adam that was there a second ago is gone!
"Chief Gordon, are you looking for this?"
Maggieson raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, and a huge sapphire magically appeared in his hand, almost as big as his palm.
The six star lines unique to the starlight sapphire revealed its identity-the Star of Adam!
"Did he really steal the Star of Adam? When?"
"It's amazing. It's like a magic trick... No, it's magic!"
"How did he do it? It would take no more than ten seconds from the power failure to his appearance. The bulletproof glass cover is intact. How is this possible?" Gordon looked at the Star of Adam in McGinson's hand in disbelief.
"Does he have superpowers?"
During this period, the New York War had not yet begun, and Superman had no news. The existence of superpowers was still out of the public's sight. Gordon was familiar with Batman and many criminals, and they did not have supernatural powers. Naturally, they were shocked by the suspected behavior of Kaito Kidd to penetrate objects and take the gem.
"I should have left after getting the gem, but this is my first performance. I really can't bear to leave the stage too soon... Unfortunately, the police officers don't seem to want this stage to continue."
At this time, McGinson was like a magician who was reluctant to leave the stage but had to leave as soon as possible, and said goodbye to the audience helplessly.
"However, before I leave, I want to give you a small gift. Because I was in a hurry, I didn't prepare it well enough. I hope you don't mind."
"Now, everyone present, please close your eyes..."
The young girls present closed their eyes obediently, as well as most of the young people who were impressed by the charm of the thief. Only the police still stared at him intently, and there were a few audience members who wanted to see what tricks the thief Kid would play.
Maggieson slowly raised his left hand and snapped his fingers again. At the same time, his right hand moved slightly downward, and a small sphere slid down.
"Ah!"
Everyone who opened their eyes shouted almost at the same time, because a strong light stung their eyes.
"Damn, it's a flash bomb! There are too many civilians here, don't shoot randomly! Don't panic!"
Gordon shouted, and hurriedly covered his eyes with his arms. His movements were slightly faster than others, but he was still blinded.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a sound of broken glass came, and Gordon thought it was not good. He didn't care that he had just said not to shoot randomly, and fired a shot at the location where the sound came from.
"Puff ~"
Gordon was experienced, he dared to swear that this must be the sound of a bullet hitting the flesh, but he was not sure whether the part hit was a vital part.
"Ah! Sir, I was shot, should I fight back?"
Wait, why does this sound so much like Aaron?
Flash bombs in reality are not like those in games that can only blind for a few seconds. The most powerful ones can even cause permanent blindness. Even if you cover your eyes immediately, it will take at least tens of seconds to recover if the light hits your eyes.
The flash bombs made by Magison are not that powerful, and the effect disappears in about 20 seconds. At this time, Gordon happened to look at the French window where Kaito Kidd stood before. It was indeed broken. Gusts of wind blew in from outside, and Aaron fell by the window, with a bright red on his right thigh.
"Aaron! How could it be you? How did you get there?"
Gordon never expected that he actually hit his subordinates, and a sense of guilt came over him.
"I heard the sound of the window being broken, and I rushed over in a rush. I didn't expect that I was shot by the thief," Aaron said with a wry smile, "Sir, I am so useless."
In an instant, Gordon's expression became complicated.
"Aaron, it was actually me..."
Just as Gordon was about to tell Aaron the truth, Aaron suddenly struggled to get up.
"This is not the time to stay here, Chief, go chase Kaito Kidd!"
This voice immediately freed Gordon from his guilty state. He immediately walked to the window and looked down, but he saw nothing, not even a trace of ropes or cranes.
"Look up, sir!"
Gordon looked up and saw a white figure in the sky in the distance. Who else could it be but Kaito Kidd? As for how he flew up, how could Gordon not be familiar with that device.
Hang glider! There was even a propeller at the end to make it fly more stably.
More importantly, just like Kaito Kidd's clothes, the hang glider was also white, as if it was just to make the police see more clearly, it was a naked provocation!
