Chapter 14 14
Because he confessed that he was a policeman, Dick found that Si Xing was very vigilantly keeping a distance of about one meter away from him.
As if that would prevent Dick from suddenly regretting his decision to take him back to Arkham.
Dick said he caught it as soon as he reached out.
Si Xing followed Dick silently, staring at Dick's back vigilantly.
Dick didn't know what clothes Sixing was going to wear, so he stopped and Sixing also stopped.
Dick turned around, and just as soon as he opened his mouth, the words didn't come out.
Si Xing jumped back abruptly, covering the torn shoulder strap of his vest with one hand, and hiding the other hand behind his back.
That hand, Dick guessed, might have held a paper knife or turned into something aggressive.
Si Xing's eyes flashed and reflected under the neon lights at night, coupled with his startled reaction, the whole person looked like a cat.
cool dick cool.
Dick swept his cheeks with his fingers and asked, "Um? What kind of clothes do you want?"
Worried that if Si Xing cares about his lack of money, Dick said again: "Don't worry about money, I'm quite rich."
Typical way of speaking like the black sheep of the Wayne family.
Si Xing stared at Dick for a while, he is quite rich?Yo?
Then he has to pick the most expensive one, and let this little policeman know the daily life of the origami ghost thief who specializes in stealing precious gems.
"You will pay for your words." Si Xing's tone was cold.
Five minutes later, Si Xing came out of the home furnishing store wrapped in a sky blue coral fleece pajamas.
Dick followed behind, choking speechlessly. Is the Origami Phantom Thief not living well? The most expensive clothes imaginable are actually a set of coral fleece pajamas?
It was only $30.
Dick thought they'd go to a high-end custom shop and order one and have him rush it right away.
Dick glanced at the Si Xing who had "satisfied" written on the back of his head, this... isn't it a little too satisfying?
Dick couldn't help touching his head, and when he touched the hair that had been completely solidified into pieces on his head, his expression froze. No wonder the lady at the counter looked at him a little strangely.
Dick thought it was because he and Si Xing were acting like a one-night stand and they were going to have some weird play—because Si Xing's face was red the whole time.
Now it seems that the other party is paying attention to his coagulated hair.
Dick followed behind Si Xing, and Si Xing suddenly turned around and did not leave. His hands wrapped in soft coral fleece folded on his chest and stared at Dick without blinking.
Dick blinked blankly, what's wrong?
"You still want to follow me?" Si Xing's tone was quite impatient. "The police are going to follow the thief home?"
Ah, yes, he is going home.
Dick couldn't help but want to lick it lightly, and when he wanted to see the cat's hair blowing more, he said briskly: "That's okay."
Si Xing gave an exaggerated 'ha' at first to express his disbelief at Dick's words.
Then Si Xing bit his lower lip lightly, and the canine teeth scratched the wound on his lower lip, reminding Si Xing of what happened just now.
He kissed a police officer at a bar, twice, and again without him knowing who he was.
"Besides... I don't have a place to live right now." Si Xing's voice was soft, and he could only ask Catwoman for help. If Catwoman is not at home tonight, then he can only go to Ivy's botanical garden and make do with the plants. One night.
Miserable and miserable.
It was only then that Dick realized that many of the big criminals who appeared to be well-off on the surface may actually have no place to live.
Dick looked at Si Xing.
Under the dazzling neon lights, the lights did not add a warm color to Si Xing. Under the bright lights, only Si Xing had a cool color, which made Si Xing, who was already wrapped in heavy pajamas and made him look smaller, look shy .
Dick felt a little uncomfortable, inexplicably uncomfortable, like seeing a stray skinny kitten on the side of the road.
But now it is rare to see stray cats in Gotham. Just like Poison Ivy advocated the protection of every plant, Catwoman either adopted stray cats or found owners for them.
Dick reminded himself repeatedly in his heart that the Origami Phantom Thief is not a stray animal on the side of the road, and he must never do anything that is out of his mind.
So Dick heard himself say, "Would you like to come and live with me, until you find a place to live."
Oh shit, what am I talking about.Invite a criminal to live in his own house, and the only place he lives now is Wayne Manor.
Can you take Si Xing to live in Wayne Manor?Certainly not, as soon as he entered, he would be sent back to Arkham Asylum with a bag by Batman.
Si Xing glanced at Dick in surprise, inviting a stranger or a criminal to live at home?This little policeman hasn't washed his brain for too long?Or do you have some kind of thought about yourself?
Dick screamed wildly in his heart, please don't say yes please don't say yes.
"Okay." Si Xing agreed after thinking for a while, Batman has already gone after the clown, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and Robin hasn't appeared yet.
Who knows if Robin will observe him in the dark, if he takes this little policeman to Selena's house and exposes Selena's address.
Not to mention whether he will be killed by Selena, Si Xing's conscience can't bear it.
Dick thought for a while, and he was really afraid of something.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to bring Si Xing back to Wayne Manor, he had to think about where else he could go.
Speaking of which, the last time he had a conflict with Batman, he moved to a safe house in Batman Gotham for two days alone.
At that time, Dick was angrily carrying clothes, water, and various snacks for a whole week, eating snacks and watching TV in the safe house, waiting for Batman to come to him first to ask for peace.
As a result, Dick took the initiative to go back the next night, very spineless.
Batman continued to do the same thing as before, guiding Batgirl in training like a normal person.
Batman seldom went to the safe house, and usually went straight back to the Batcave, and occasionally it was too late to go to the hidden safe house.
Dick went directly to one of Batman's most obvious safe houses, mainly because the environment there was not bad, with a huge floor-to-ceiling window facing the scenery of Gotham.
Batman never goes there.
So it's okay to ask the secretary to stay.
Dick pushed open the door, and the lights controlled by artificial intelligence turned on automatically, turning on all the lights that should be enabled in the room.
"Welcome back, master." The voice of the electronic woman came from an emotionless voice.
Dick was stunned for a moment, he almost forgot that the safe house was also equipped with a bat computer, then Ah Fu, who was guarding the bat cave, would know that he brought a man to the safe house after a while.
Dick rubbed his temples with some headaches. If Afu knew it, it meant that Bruce knew it too.
Will Bruce come over in the Batmobile in no time to catch the driver?
Si Xing glanced at the room. Black Damascus curtains covered half of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the floor was covered with soft Persian carpets, and warm yellow lights were sprinkled on the floor. The decoration was simple and modern.
Si Xing suddenly became sour. He just heard that there is an artificial intelligence butler called Master Dick. This little policeman is still a rich son.
And myself, as a jewel thief, is an extremely dangerous character in the eyes of GCPD and various collectors. Because he is too rich, the origami monster who returns the gems (in other words) is poor and has no place to live.
Dick was worried that the house would be completely lifeless, but the Origami Thief noticed the disadvantages, because it was too clean, so there was no breath of life.
Then Dick saw on the sofa, the clothes he had thrown and scrunched up from the last time he was here, all kinds of snack pockets.
Dick hurried forward, picked up the clothes on the sofa and stuffed them under the sofa cushion.
When Si Xing saw Dick hide his clothes in a panic, he sneered and didn't say anything.
Dick obviously heard Si Xing's meaningless sneer, he froze for a moment, feeling the heat spread to the tips of his ears.
Dick said dryly, "Look around first. You can choose any room with a bed. Except for the first room on the left, there are new clothes in every cabinet. See if you can wear them."
Dick didn't know what the supplies in the safe house were. He could only casually say that even Bruce might not know about these things, because Alfred had always been in charge of the logistics.
"I'll go out and make a phone call." Dick took out the phone from the pocket of his hoodie and shook it.
Naturally, Dick didn't need to report to the secretary, he just told the secretary that he had something to go out.
Dick went out, stomped his feet, and the sound sensor light came on immediately.
At this point, Bruce should still be chasing the Joker and not back to the Batcave, so he just needs to call Alfred...
Before Dick could dial Ah Fu's number, Ah Fu called him first.
Dick was a little surprised, he answered the phone.
"Master Dick, do you have anything to explain?" Alfred's voice was as kind as usual, just like what Dick had heard since childhood.
But Dick felt guilty.
"Eh..." Dick asked tentatively, "Did you see it?"
Alfred must have seen it, and the Batcomputer here will pass the message back to the Batcave.
In the Batcave, he got the information that Dick had gone to the safe house. Out of concern for Dick, Ah Fu would definitely turn on the monitoring.
So Ah Fu must have found out what he was doing.
"If you mean that you took a strange man to the safe house, I think so, I saw it."
Ah Fu didn't know that Si Xing was the Origami Phantom Thief, and this knowledge made Dick relax immediately.
The next moment, his heart was stirred again because of Ah Fu's next words.
"Master Dick, I know that all adolescent boys will have an impulse..." Ah Fu's voice paused slightly.
"But I hope you don't be so impulsive until you can afford all the consequences that may follow. At least don't take your lover to the safe house."
Dick has had quite a few girlfriends. He has such capital. Dick is excellent, good-looking, and easy to get along with.
Ah Fu didn't understand why Dick suddenly turned his interest to men, but it didn't matter, they were very open-minded.
The most important thing is the happiness of the child.
"I won't say anything, but you know the character of the master, not to mention that this is Batman's safe house. You can just take it back to Wayne Manor, you don't need to hide it, the master is also very open-minded."
Alfred stared at the screen displayed on the bat computer screen.
The young man in coral fleece stood motionless in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his arms folded.
What could cause youth to show up in pajamas?It can only be that they just did some indescribable things outside, maybe to cover some traces on their bodies, or their clothes were torn.
Looking carefully, there were scars on the young man's lips, and Master Dick's hair was messed up, which further confirmed his guess.
"It's not what you think... Ah Fu..." Dick whispered.
"Don't worry, Master Dick. I won't tell my master. I'll pretend nothing happened today."
Ah Fu is very understanding and caring.
Dick was in a delicate mood. Although the process was a bit tortuous, he achieved the purpose he originally wanted to achieve by calling Afu.
After finishing speaking, Ah Fu added another sentence. "Next time, please be sure to bring it back to Wayne Manor for us to see. You can't use the bat computer to observe from a distance every time."
"...Okay." Dick couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
There is no such thing at all, how will he bring it back to Wayne Manor?
