Chapter 44: Complex Barbara
"She's Commissioner Gordon's daughter."
Agent Starling and Bob arrived at Robinson Park with a team of police officers.
The original security team of the park was asked not to enter the central statue area.
After the incident at the airport, they realized that these lax security and cleaning staff were not only useless in the eyes of Kaito Kid, but were the perfect targets for his disguise.
Even the strictly managed GCPD could not stop Kid's infiltration.
Therefore, it is better to keep irrelevant people away.
The area within 100 meters of the statue of Gotham's first mayor was completely cleared, and this area allowed a few people such as the queen, the prince and the current mayor of Gotham to approach.
The royal guard was just 100 meters away, forming a circle without dead ends.
More than a dozen police helicopters circled around the statue. There were no tall buildings around, so Kid could not use the terrain to avoid the influence of the helicopters. The sky had become a forbidden area for Kaito Kid.
The GCPD police surrounded the statue within a distance of 100 to 500 meters.
Although the Queen and the Royal Guards were not on the road yet, Bob, Starling and others still stood there and did not move closer.
Five hundred meters away was the park's own security team, but their number was far less than that of the GCPD, mainly to block the surging crowd.
When they learned that Her Majesty the Queen was coming here and that Kaito Kidd would probably appear, all the crazy Kidd fans gathered in Robinson Park, as well as countless tourists who wanted to see the Queen's true face.
Tens of thousands of people were crowded in the square five hundred meters away from the statue.
"Isn't that Commissioner Gordon's daughter and her boyfriend?"
Suddenly, Starling noticed two familiar faces in the crowded crowd on the square.
"It's them. I didn't expect these two kids to really come."
Bob smiled interestingly and asked a police officer to let Barbara and the others in.
"Agent Starling, Agent Bob."
Barbara ran over excitedly.
"Hehe, why are you here? Are you dating your boyfriend?"
Starling approached the girl who made her particularly fond of him and asked with a smile.
Perhaps because their fathers were both policemen full of justice, she felt an inexplicable closeness to Barbara.
Barbara blushed instantly when asked this question.
"Agent Starling, you misunderstood. We are not lovers, let alone dating..."
"Oh, really?"
Starling looked unconvinced. She was an experienced person, how could she not see through Barbara's mind.
Not to mention her, even Bob could see that the relationship between Maggieson and Barbara was not simple.
"Hey, Agent Starling, Agent Bob, Barbara and I are here to contribute our strength to catch Kaito Kid!"
Maggieson coughed.
"So, I ask that Barbara and I stand in this position as well."
If Starling continued to ask like this, the situation would be very bad.
"You have such a good intention, but you are just children. We are enough to catch Kaito Kidd, and you don't need to contribute."
Bob smiled amiably and declined Maggieson's request.
"We can't guarantee whether Kaito Kidd will use powerful weapons, so it is still very dangerous here. You just need to stay outside. No matter what happens, protect yourself first."
"As for other things, leave it to the police and us."
Barbara wanted to say something, but even Starling agreed with Bob.
In desperation, Maggieson could only retreat outside with Barbara.
However, as time went by, more and more pedestrians entered here, and it became quite crowded.
Barbara suddenly hugged Maggieson's arm tightly.
Maggieson looked down at her eyes and saw the determination and doubt in her eyes...
and the deepest expectation.
He knew that Barbara was hoping that he was not the real Kaito Kidd.
Maggieson didn't say anything, but just said sorry in his heart, but now is not the time to let you know the truth.
Counting the time silently in his heart, the time in Maggieson's plan is coming...
Not long after, the queen arrived at the central statue under the protection of the royal guard.
Because there were too many people and they surrounded the statue in a whole circle, hundreds of police officers had to force a path for the queen to pass.
In fact, helicopters are the best choice, but the environment around the statue is not suitable for landing, and the queen's age and physical fitness cannot go down through the rope ladder, so the crowd can only make way.
As the saying goes, a single move affects the whole body. The crowded crowd suddenly had to clear a row of several people wide, and the crowds on both sides had to move a considerable distance.
Naturally, Maggieson and Barbara were also affected.
Maggieson carefully observed the general movement of the crowds on both sides, and simulated the movements of the people around him through the push and shove behind him.
Because of the crowd, Barbara unconsciously loosened her strength a little.
Maggieson seized the opportunity, pretending to be pushed by someone, and fell in the opposite direction of Barbara, and his arm naturally broke free from Barbara's hand.
Then, following the flow of the crowd, Maggieson gradually moved away from Barbara's position.
He knew that doing so would make Barbara more suspicious that he was Kaito Kidd, but he had already made a plan for the aftermath, and might even be able to dispel Barbara's suspicion in one fell swoop.
"Maggieson!"
Barbara screamed in panic, constantly scanning the crowd.
She bit her lip, but she still couldn't grab him.
In other words, Maggieson... is really Kaito Kidd!
Thinking of this, Barbara's heart was in turmoil, and her mind was blank.
"Barbara, I'm here!"
After shouting a few times at Barbara's position and waving his arms a few times to make sure that Barbara couldn't see his current position, Maggieson changed his clothes instantly and shuttled through the crowd with amazing body movements.
Without attracting anyone's attention, he slipped out of the crowd...
"Barbara!"
Starling shouted, bringing the thoughtful Barbara back to reality.
"Agent Starling?"
"It was my negligence. I didn't expect so many civilians to gather here. There weren't many when you came."
Bob walked over with an apologetic look on his face.
It is very dangerous in such a crowded crowd. If a stampede occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.
Not long after Barbara and Maggieson were "separated", Starling found Barbara squeezed in the crowd and let her in.
But she found that the little girl looked restless and didn't respond no matter how she called.
After Barbara came back to her senses, she thanked Starling and returned to her previous state.
She did not say that Maggieson might be Kaito Kidd.
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence, he couldn't have broken free on his own initiative..."
Barbara prayed in her heart.
