American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 107: cat's death

In the theater in Gotham Manor, Schiller took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and touched the glass with Mrs. Leto in front of him. Schiller sighed: "There are not many such lively and solemn **** anymore. , those dance parties in the city are really too noisy, and those sounds are shaking me."

Mrs Leto stroked her grey hair on her temples and said, "It was like that in our day, girls and boys were often shy, but no one dared to hold hands at a ball like this, but you know, now that It's too crazy to help young people, once I went to the Jinbei Mansion in the city center, I was stunned, it's not so much the clothes they wear, it's better that the curtains are tighter than that..."

Shiller laughed and said: "After all, it's developing too fast, but it's a good thing. The economy seems to be much better recently."

Mrs. Leto agreed: "That's true. The rent for my two apartments on Fourth Avenue has risen by more than half, and the gangsters don't know how to make money. I'm still with the bull on Elizabeth Street. Talk about buying another apartment..."

"Madame, you are wise." A thick voice came from the side, a man with a mustache came over, he touched the glasses of Schiller and Mrs. Leto with a wine glass, and then said: "Hello everyone. ,this is my name card."

Schiller took a look and said, "Manager of Jinbei Company? Are you the real estate agent of the Falcone family?"

"Yes, I work for The Godfather, but of course, our Gold Cup is also a legitimate company separate from the Falcone family, with real estate operations all over the East Coast."

"As you know, we've had some cooperation with Chicago recently, and the land there is about to be fired. I've come to this party specially to introduce you, rich gentlemen and wives, to real estate in various eastern cities."

Mrs. Leto was very interested. She said, "I heard that Chicago has a better view than Gotham. What do you think of me buying a villa there?"

"Are you Mrs. Leto? You really asked the right person. Chicago is really good, but when it comes to retirement villas, I still recommend the Imperial City. The scenery there is so beautiful, it is unique on the entire East Coast, and You know, it's much safer there than Gotham or Chicago."

"Although I really like the tropical style of Imperial City, there are too many casinos there and there are too many tourists from other places. I always feel that living there will not be peaceful." Mrs. Leto said with a frown.

"Then I will recommend Miami to you. This city is really good. Compared with the order of the Imperial City, it is more wild and beautiful. Of course, the gangs there are nothing to Gotham. With my husband's ability, it should be good to buy a manor there."

Mrs Leto fanned the fan in her hand and said, "I'm going to discuss this with him, and although we've lived in Gotham for generations, the weather here is so horrendous that if we can go there for a month or two, It's not bad to go on vacation there, after all, we are all old, and the air in Gotham is very unfavorable for prolonging life..."

"I've heard that the mayor intends to work with the Wayne Group to develop an urban air purification system that can be rolled out across the country to regulate the climate in local areas, but it may take some time," Schiller said.

The Gold Cup manager said, "It would be great if that were the case. Actually, I didn't get it. Gotham's first place is obviously very good, but why are there so many rainy days? If only there were three or four months in a year. On a sunny day, the beaches here are sure to drive tourists from all over the East."

The manager said that the quality of Gotham Beach is very good, because it has hardly been developed. After all, no one will come here for vacation. Except for the occasional use by locals, it can be said that the entire eastern city is protected. The best city beach ever.

The waiter came around again with a tray. Several people took some cookies, ate while drinking, and chatted about the future development of Gotham. During the chat, Schiller found a black outside the theater door. The figure flashed for a moment, as if someone was staring at him.

The theater is brightly lit because of the dance, but the manor is completely dark. This old-fashioned manor has a small community and not many residents. Once the dance is held, basically all members are present, and their houses are naturally empty on.

Unlike Bruce, who is busy with his internship, Catwoman's life has not been very good recently.

She is a thief, and her main source of income is stealing things. Of course, she is a relatively high-end thief, not a street pickpocket. Catwoman steals basically expensive jewelry from some jewelry stores, or some collectors. stamp album or something.

But due to Gotham's reforms, the city's nights have become more and more lively. Jewelry shops, gold and silver jewelry shops or watch repair shops on the main street have basically begun to open at night, and shop assistants and security guards have become Three shifts.

Catwoman steals things by sneaking and adding skills. It's not like some hitmen. Kill everyone and no one will find out about my infiltration. Catwoman's petite size and strength do not support her to take this route.

The three shifts of shop assistants and security also gave her a lot of headaches. Even if she could find a way to divert one or two of them, the noisy streets and bustling alleys made her theft very easy to detect.

In fact, it stands to reason that Catwoman's ability, if she does anything else, will not starve to death, but she was raised as a thief since she was a child, she can't, and she doesn't want to do anything else.

What if I can't steal it? She can only bite the bullet and steal, although she can occasionally succeed, but it is too easy to be discovered, adding a lot of enemies.

The so-called night walk is always going to encounter ghosts. One day, Catwoman's theft failed again.

But this time, she provoked someone she shouldn't have provoked. This time, the place she stole from was called Jinbei Jewelry Store, which was owned by Falcone.

The Falcone family is not like other small fish and shrimp. The security guards in the store are all professionally trained, with sufficient staff, and there are no dead ends in the whole store. Catwoman was discovered as soon as she started.

Also different from other jewelry stores, the people under Falcone have the courage and ability to hunt down anyone in Gotham. The majesty of the godfather cannot be tarnished. Not only was Catwoman almost caught, she was also wanted directly. .

The twelve families had sent people to chase after her. On this day, Catwoman jumped up and down again. As a last resort, she began to run towards the edge of the city.

The killer in the back was obviously professionally trained, and the chase was very tight. Catwoman had no choice but to grab a car and drove out of the East District and ran to the West District. Thanks to Gotham's traffic control, there were no traffic jams and no car accidents. Run to the vicinity of the manor area.

Entering the manor area, Catwoman was also a little apprehensive, because the English-style manor here looked very eerie under the night, which was why she rarely came here even though there were many rich people here.

But there was no way, the enemy was chasing after her buttocks, and Catwoman moved forward cautiously in the manor.

Catwoman dared to keep running forward, and then found that one of the manors had a faint light from a window.

Catwoman, who was almost scared to death by the terrifying atmosphere here, didn't think too much about it, and went straight to the place where there was light.

After entering, she found traces of people living here, which made her feel a little at ease.

Feeling that she seemed to have gotten rid of the pursuers, Catwoman became more courageous. She crept to the base of the building, then stretched out the hook and rope to grab the roof, and made a few light jumps, and came to the bright place. on the windowsill.

She stuck it against the wall, stretched out her head and looked inside, and found that there was no one inside, as if the owner forgot to turn off the light before leaving.

There is a solid wood desk next to the balcony, with a lot of information on it, and there are many tomes that Catwoman has a headache at a glance. The owner of the manor seems to be a scholar.

But soon, something caught Catwoman's attention, and that was a bottle in the corner of her desk.

The bottle was not big, and it seemed to contain some black dirty water, but the material of the bottle itself made Catwoman's heart beat fast in an instant.

That's a diamond! All of them!

An entire bottle is made of diamonds! ! !

Catwoman knew she would never read it wrong. She had been a thief for so many years and had seen thousands of jewels.

The dazzling light under the light almost blinded Catwoman's eyes, making her fascinated in an instant.

Even though she had seen all kinds of beautiful jewelry, she had never seen such a pure diamond.

Then she began to grit her teeth again, what did the owner of this manor think? ? Why hollow out such a beautiful piece of diamond into a bottle? ? How good is it to be real? ? ?

But no matter what, Catwoman's heart that belongs to the jewelry thief is already ready to move.

The window is locked, and it seems to have a lock that Catwoman can't read or pick, but the jewel thief who has been in power in Gotham for many years is not giving it for free.

Seeing that the window could not be opened, she turned down the balcony and tried every window, and then she found that the owner of the manor was outrageously cautious, and all the windows were used in a strange way. Strange locks were locked, even the small windows in the attic.

But the hard work pays off. The old-fashioned English manor has a special structure. The medieval English manor will leave a secret door at the sewer mouth of the toilet, which is used for servants to clean up the accumulated dirt.

The manor built here, although this function is no longer used in the era of construction, because the modern drainage system is used here, but it may be a feeling of the architect, this medieval sewage channel is still preserved. down.

Catwoman is petite, so she can just climb into the bathroom through this secret door. Fortunately, no one has ever used this passage before, otherwise she wouldn't have gotten into it if she was killed.

Catwoman has superb acrobatic skills and is very dexterous. When she got out of the bathroom, she landed without making a sound. What made her even more devastated was that the bathroom door was locked!

How afraid of being stolen!

But fortunately, the owner of the manor may also think that the strange lock is very troublesome. If you use it in a hurry, you may not be able to open it, so the lock on the bathroom door is a very ordinary iron lock.

This kind of lock can be picked by the catwoman, she will lock the lock in three or two strokes, and then crept to the table.

She happily picked up the diamond bottle and put it under the light to appreciate it carefully. Now she is sure that it must be a diamond.

But what confuses her is that she has never seen such a pure diamond, whether it is color or clarity, it is almost impeccable and looks almost perfect.

And what made Catwoman even more puzzled was that such a beautiful bottle actually contained a pool of black dirty water. No, maybe it was not exactly dirty water, it was more like a sticky black mucus.

I don't know if it was Catwoman's illusion. She felt that the mucus moved a bit, but she was already fascinated by the bottle of diamonds, and she couldn't wait to put such a beautiful diamond in her collection cabinet immediately.

So she didn't care what was in the bottle, and shoved the bottle directly into the small bag around her waist.

Because the windows and doors were locked, Catwoman was worried that the owner of the manor would not be able to run away when she came back. Besides, it was enough to harvest such beautiful diamonds tonight.

Catwoman left along the way she came~www.NovelMTL.com~ Even before leaving, she did not forget to use a special method, and hung the lock outside the bathroom door, and locked the door to restore it.

When I returned to my Catwoman, she took out the bottle and looked left and right. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, but the more she looked at it, the more unsightly the black sludge in the bottle became. Pretty bottle for a puddle of sticky black slime?

Catwoman wants to dump the contents of this, but the bottle is sealed in a very special way, its stopper is not the usual wood stopper, it has a series of intricate snaps and what appears to be a miniature lock.

The tech catwoman of this thing has never seen it before, and she can't figure it out, but she only knows one thing, diamonds are the hardest gems in the world, so she can break this stopper with violence without hurting Pretty bottle.

So she brought a crowbar, a file, and a pair of pliers, and knocked and smashed against the mechanism above. She worked for a long time. Except for one of the buckles, which was slightly loose, the whole plug remained motionless.

Catwoman was so tired that she gasped for breath, and she didn't care anymore. She threw the bottle on the bedside table and went to sleep. She planned to go out in a few days and find a professional to help pry it open.
