Chapter 13: Cracked Notice Letter

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

Alfred joked.

"Ha, let's not talk about these for now, Alfred, what do you think about this notice letter?"

Bruce chuckled. Since the appearance of the Kaito Kidd, he has inexplicably felt much more relaxed these days.

"Master Wayne, I have to say that the code designed by Kaito Kidd is still of a certain standard, but it is still far inferior to the Riddler."

"Yeah, the riddles designed by Edward back then almost made me rack my brains."

Alfred laughed happily, not only because of Bruce's rare jokes, but also because he was finally willing to talk about some things in the past.

"How much have you solved?" Bruce asked.

"GCPD has not made any response or reply."

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

"More than half, I only know the date, location and target of Kaito Kidd's crime."

Alfred said truthfully, if it was the Riddler's riddle, he might not be able to solve anything.

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

"Let's start with the simplest one. He said he wanted to take away the cat's eye. There is no doubt that the target is the cat's eye stone. The most prestigious and valuable one in Gotham recently is the golden green cat's eye that Daggett bought not long ago."

At this point, Alfred's expression suddenly became strange. "Although it's not good to say this, I have to admit that I was very happy for a while when I learned that it was Daggett."

This is because during the eight years that Bruce was in seclusion, the operating conditions of Wayne Enterprises were not optimistic. Basically, the revenue was negative every year, which made many members of the board of directors dissatisfied. They are all shareholders of Wayne Enterprises. Among them, Daggett has the largest share. He is ambitious and wants to control Wayne Enterprises, but he has never had the opportunity.

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

Obviously, Wayne has been deserted by everyone, but Bruce, the isolated owner, knows nothing about it. Only Alfred has seen some clues.

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

"After being photographed by Daggett, the golden green cat's eye was placed in his private collection, which is located at the southernmost tip of Lower City Island, close to the Atlantic Ocean. Since it is summer now, the wind will blow from the ocean to the mainland, and the waves mostly refer to the direction of the waves, which means that he will go back to Daggett's collection from the Atlantic Ocean in some way."

Yes, Alfred thought so too.

"The last one is the date. The first two sentences are both dates."

Alfred affirmed: "The fickle brother is talking about Gemini, and the second item of the Twelve Trials led to the birth of Cancer, which means that the time when Kaito Kid committed the crime was between the last day of Gemini and the first day of Cancer, that is, June 21st to 22nd!"

"Only the last sentence, when Selene could not see Helios from a distance, I am not sure what this sentence refers to."

Alfred sighed and said.

"Pa~pa~pa"

Bruce applauded in approval.

"Great, Alfu, so far, you and I have the same idea. As for the last sentence that has not been solved, I have already figured it out. It talks about the exact time when Kaito Kid will take action."

"In fact, the content of this notice is very simple. Anyone who has studied Greek mythology will understand it at a glance."

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

"Oh, sorry, Mr. Wayne, isn't Apollo the sun god in Greek mythology?"

"That's the difficulty!" Bruce looked playful, "Usually, popular Greek mythology will have Apollo is described as the god of the sun, which he is, of course, but he is the successor of Helios.

"According to Hesiod's Theogony, Helios is the son of the Titan Hyperion and Theia, and the brother of the moon goddess Selene and the dawn goddess Eos. The gods of this line are responsible for bringing light to the world."

"In this case, Selene is the moon, and Helios is the sun. The meaning of "not being able to see far away" is——"

"The moon and the sun are separated by another celestial body, which is a lunar eclipse!" Alfred was surprised, but he rejected this explanation the next moment.

"No, according to the observatory's estimation, the lunar eclipse should occur on June 26, which does not match the date on the notice letter."

"That's right, so it does not refer to a lunar eclipse, which means that it is not the earth that separates the moon and the sun, but an artificial satellite!"

Bruce said firmly.

"When the artificial satellite is between the moon and the sun, that is, at nine o'clock in the evening, it is time for Kidd to take action!"

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

Holding the 170 million yuan paid by Penguin, Maggieson first forged a series of identity documents for himself, of course, the appearance was not real.

Then, he came to Wayne Real Estate. There was no way, it was difficult to find things that were not related to Wayne in Gotham.

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

Maggieson dressed up as the one on the ID, wearing a low-key and high-end suit. The beautiful agent knew that it might be a big order, and hurried over to talk to Maggieson.

"I need a single-family villa with a large area and a quiet environment. It is best to have a small flow of people, and the price doesn't matter."

Hearing this, the agent's breath stagnated. She felt that the last sentence of the guest was too manly. She liked this kind of young, handsome and rich man...

She suppressed her restless heart and introduced the best properties to Maggieson one by one.

"Look at this villa, it covers a total area of ​​1,000 square meters, the villa area is more than 600 square meters, located at the southeast end of the diamond district, the environment is absolutely quiet..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Maggieson.

"The Diamond District is not an option."

The agent had to change to another villa.

"This one, with 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. Maggieson thought about it and finally shook his head.

The Memorial Bridge is in the East District, which is the most chaotic place in Gotham. Almost half of the crimes happened here.

Although the Memorial Bridge is on the edge of the East District, it is not certain that it will be blown up one day.

The agent frowned. She felt that this guest was not ordinary picky.

Seven or eight villas were introduced in succession, all of which were rejected by Maggieson.

"Sorry, sir, we only have one villa that meets your requirements, but I don't recommend you to choose this one."

Finally, the agent had to move out of that one...

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

"But this manor is located in the Audisburg District."

The Audisburg District is the largest industrial area in Gotham. It was not famous at first, but because of an accident in a factory that led to the birth of someone, no one dared to settle there now. This factory is the famous ACE Chemical Factory.

The agent was helpless. She was ready to be rejected again. She failed to sell any house today. It seems that she will have to live a tight life this month.

"I like this one, so I chose it!"
