Chapter 193 The Last Link Before the Performance
"Hey, Barbara, look what that is!"
On a bridge leading from Otisburg to the Diamond District, Pamela pointed at a white shadow passing through the sky and exclaimed.
Barbara looked in the direction Pamela pointed and vaguely observed the outline of a triangular hang glider.
Such a typical image, there is no other person to think of except Kaito Kidd.
But looking at the string of afterimages left by the white shadow when it passed by, this speed is not what a hang glider can achieve. Although they know that Kidd has installed a propeller engine on the hang glider, it can only increase the speed by two or three times at most.
It is absolutely impossible to reach the level they just saw. No known hang glider technology can do this, unless it is not a hang glider at all.
"That is Kaito Kidd!"
After a glimpse, the white shadow disappeared in the sky, leaving only the two women looking at each other.
"Why can the hang glider be so fast?"
Barbara turned around and asked Pamela.
In her opinion, Poison Ivy should be the person who has the most contact with Kidd in the world, so she should know a little bit about Kaito Kidd.
Hearing this, Pamela complained in her heart, you are the one who is always with Kidd, who should I ask if you ask me.
Seeing Pamela shook her head, Barbara stopped thinking about it. Whether Kaito Kidd upgraded the glider is not important at all now.
"From the direction of the afterimage, Kaito Kidd should have come from Wayne Building."
Barbara began to concentrate on distinguishing the direction and finally came to the correct conclusion.
"It seems that we are late."
Pamela said slowly.
Barbara sighed, "Yes, but this is also good news."
"At least we can be sure that Kidd has mastered a lot of information."
After coming out of the GCPD headquarters, the two women thought about Nygma's riddle while tracking the traces of Kaito Kidd.
Then Barbara made the same choice as Maggieson, that is, to go to Wayne Building in the Diamond District to find out.
But the two people's considerations were different.
Maggieson learned some intelligence from Mave that the GCPD did not have.
Barbara relied purely on her hacking skills.
She followed Gordon's instructions and went to the clock tower first, because there was a bat computer hidden here, which could monitor every camera in Gotham in real time.
Unfortunately, it is no longer possible now, because almost all the cameras that can be seen with the eyes have been destroyed by fanatical mobs.
Fortunately, the previous monitoring data will be automatically backed up in the bat computer.
Maybe it was because Barbara was destined to become an oracle, and she was very good at operating the bat computer.
So, Barbara saw the scene of four trucks transporting nuclear bombs driving out of Wayne Building from these monitoring records.
Even so, she only found the movement tracks of three of the vehicles.
That is, the three trucks that finally gathered in the Knight Dome Stadium.
As for the fourth truck that actually transported the nuclear bomb, it strangely disappeared from the surveillance records.
Barbara checked all the surveillance sections on the same date, and no camera except the entrance of Wayne Building captured the existence of the fourth truck.
What happened next can be imagined. In order to obtain information about the mysterious fourth truck, they could only go to the source Wayne Building for investigation.
But what they didn't expect was that when they passed through the two major areas of the old city and Audisburg District and were about to enter the diamond district, Kaito Kidd appeared!
Like a meteor, it was short-lived and fleeting.
"Tatatatatata..."
After a while, Barbara and the others heard the sound of the high-speed rotation of the propeller of the armed helicopter.
The noise was very loud, obviously more than one.
Since Miranda's own helicopter lost Kaito Kidd, she could only urgently contact the armed helicopter teams parked in various places to search the whole city.
As long as you see a white object flying in the sky, even if it is a seagull, you must immediately fire at it.
"It seems we can't go any further here."
Barbara and Pamela quickly found a shelter to hide, and only breathed a sigh of relief after the armed helicopter flew away.
"Pamela, let's go."
"Well... where should we go now?"
Pamela asked.
"Since we can't go to Wayne Building, let's go around here."
Barbara analyzed calmly.
"From the actions of Kaito Kidd and the changes in the Diamond District, he must have obtained quite important intelligence."
"But it is obviously impossible for us to keep up with him, so we can only join this war in our own way, at least to keep up with Kaito Kidd."
"The last truck disappeared from the surveillance records after leaving Wayne Building. There must be something wrong. The surveillance coverage rate in the Diamond District should be the highest in Gotham."
"I don't believe anything can really leave the Diamond District without being caught by surveillance."
After listening to Barbara's words, Pamela couldn't find anything to refute, but she always felt that something was wrong.
"You mean that the car may not have left the Diamond District from the beginning, and it may even have avoided surveillance and circled back after leaving the main entrance of Wayne Building?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Barbara nodded.
"If that's the case, then what is their purpose in doing this?"
Pamela asked with a frown.
"We now know that Bane and Miranda acted separately that day. Bane took the lead in breaking through Arkham Asylum and releasing criminals, attracting the most attention."
"After that, they directly besieged GCPD. It can be said that everyone's focus was on Bane at the time, and no one would notice the changes in Wayne Building."
"Then who are they doing this play of four trucks turning into three trucks for?"
"I don't know, maybe Batman, maybe someone else."
Barbara didn't know either.
"I know there is a very short one-way road near Wayne Building that is not covered by surveillance, because the total length is only more than 100 meters, and there are surveillance cameras at the entrances and exits."
"The answer to the problem may be on that road."
"There are helicopters everywhere in the sky, so let's go around from below."
Barbara walked to the side, where there happened to be a manhole cover...
On the other side, Maggieson took Lucius to a safe place.
Bell tower.
"Mr. Fox, what does Miranda want to know from you?"
As soon as he put away the glider, Maggieson couldn't wait to ask Lucius.
"Is it related to the fusion reactor you are secretly researching?"
After Maggieson's explanation, Lucius, who had been locked in the dungeon, finally had a preliminary understanding of the situation outside.
He also knew the seriousness of the nuclear bomb problem, so when faced with Kaito Kidd's questions, Lucius told him everything without hesitation.
"What, so that's how it is!"
As Lucius explained, Maggieson's emotions kept changing. Although his expression remained the same, he was actually shocked.
"But now I finally understand everything. It's time to prepare for the real performance..."
