My days as a landlord in Gotham

(four)

Li Lei didn't continue to argue with Ada, but went back to his master bedroom.

Sitting at the desk in the living room attached to the bedroom, he began to search his memory for someone who could help him.

Since I am "audacious"

If you dare to accept financial outsourcing services from gray companies, then you must have some people who can help you.

While living in any city, knowing the city is the most important thing.

Especially in a city like Gotham, if you don't know something about the underground world, then whether you can see the sun rise tomorrow is a big problem.

Li Lei thought for a long time, and finally realized that he did know those few people.

One is his best buddy in law school, currently working as an assistant prosecutor at the Gotham City District Attorney's Office.

So Li Lei decided to be the first to contact him, and he immediately called him on his mobile phone.

It didn't take long before the call was connected, and Li Lei opened his mouth and asked, "Ben, is it convenient for you to answer the phone?

I have a very important question to ask you. "

"wait!"

Li Lei heard a burst of chaos from the microphone, followed by the sound of closing the door, and then a rather calm voice came out, "Lei, are you in trouble?

You know, I'm an Assistant U.S. Attorney now, and I can't sign an 'Attorney's Nondisclosure Agreement' with you, so you have to think carefully about what you're going to say next.

If you think it over, please say so. "

Li Lei told Ben about the attack he encountered after eating today, and then asked, "Do you know who did it?"

"God!

You really are! "

Ben wanted to scold Li Lei on the phone, but he didn't say anything, "Are you sure they're after you?

After all, Chinatown is very chaotic, you can't be affected by them, right? "

"No, whether it was a misunderstanding or intentional, I can still be sure of this."

Li Lei said with certainty, "Do you have a solution?"

"I'll help you go to the police station and ask. I'll let the police send a few fish out to find out the news, but don't expect too much."

Ben said, "Recently, you should stay at home and not go out. I will come and see you after get off work!"

In addition to this line that could reach the judicial authorities in Gotham City, Li Lei also called the private detectives and intelligence dealers he had worked with.

These people don't care as much about themselves as Ben, they care more about money.

After learning that Li Lei's life was in danger, these people asked Li Lei to pay the full amount one after another, because they seemed to be worried that they might not receive the final payment.

Li Lei was noncommittal about these people's actions.

After all, everyone is in a relationship of interest, and it would be a bit funny if I want to be too sincere.

After dealing with these matters, Li Lei walked out of the room.

He said to Ada, "I'll have a friend over tonight."

"It doesn't matter, you can say that I am your distant cousin.

It's a phrase I just learned from TV. "

Ada said.

"Actually, I forgot to remind you of a detail. The group of people who attacked you were very professional. If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would have been killed on the spot.

This kind of assassin who can kill with one blow is very rare in that world. I think you can investigate a little bit from this aspect. "

Ada gave Li Lei a very professional suggestion.

Although Gotham City is a city with chaotic law and order, it is not a war zone after all. It is still very difficult to find a good shooter.

And for gangsters, good thugs and gunmen are valuable resources, and they will not be used easily.

If you can use this kind of sniper-level gunman to make trouble for such a small role like yourself, it can only be said that the people who make trouble for you are indeed powerful enough.

Benjamin Goldberg is also Jewish, so when he was studying at the New York University Law School, he became very familiar with Li Lei in the same dormitory.

However, what puzzled Benjamin was that Li Lei actually went back to work as an accountant after obtaining a doctorate in law and a license to practice as a lawyer.

What puzzled Li Lei about Benjamin was that Benjamin was an outstanding graduate of their law school.

Although the New York University School of Law is not as famous as the law schools of Harvard University and Yale University, it is still among the top ten in the United States.

With Benjamin's grades and school experience, he can find an easy job in a large New York law firm; no matter how bad he is, he can also go to New York, Philadelphia and other big cities in New England to work as an assistant district attorney, and then prepare for the future. Prepare to enter politics or switch to a career as a judge.

But Benjamin actually went to work at the District Attorney's Office in Gotham City, the most dangerous place in the United States, and Li Lei also knew that Benjamin had also handled several major cases and offended some gang forces.

However, the Benjamin family is also a well-known blue-blooded family on the east coast of the United States. It has great influence in the military, police and judicial circles, so these families recognized it with their noses.

Fortunately, Benjamin also knew when it was time to stop. Now he was concentrating on dealing with those smuggling and smuggling cases, which was a temporary compromise with those big families.

Li Lei still doesn't know enough about this amazing friend.

When he got off work, Benjamin drove his car to Li Lei's apartment. Seeing that the entire first floor looked like an enemy, Benjamin shook his head with a smile and rang the doorbell.

Benjamin had been to Li Lei's house a few times, and knew that their house had been modified very strangely, so he took a leisurely look at the door, and then he found several suspicious-looking black SUVs parked nearby.

Benjamin frowned. This kind of squatting SUV should be the practice of the Gotham City Police Department or the FBI.

But Benjamin didn't try to expose them, but continued to wait quietly for Li Lei to come down and open the door.

After waiting for a few minutes, Benjamin heard the sound of the door opening.

The door was only opened a crack, and Benjamin naturally went in smoothly.

When Benjamin entered, Li Lei quickly closed the door.

"Ray, how many people have you offended?"

After Benjamin entered the room, he didn't hide his expression any more, and he asked very seriously, "I just received a message from my informant that you are being targeted by those people from the Owl Court.

I guess they did the assassination incident you encountered at noon, and you also know that they are the best assassination organization in Gotham City.

And now it’s not just the owl court, when I just entered, there were a few strange black SUVs parked outside, which I think should be government vehicles.

You have provoked both black and white this time, I think it's better for you to go back to the metropolis and avoid the limelight first. "

Li Lei was not afraid of people from the government coming to make trouble, after all, people from the government had to behave according to the rules.

Li Lei is confident that he has no clues in his past affairs, and more importantly, he has also hired a special lawyer to defend himself.

Since he is a businessman walking on the edge of gray, the lawyer Li Lei hired is also a famous "dirty job" in the United States.

lawyer.

But Li Lei felt a little worried about what the owl court said.

The underground forces in Gotham City have never been integrated, but there are a few people trying to become the underground king of Gotham City.

These few people or forces include: Penguin (Oswald Copperpot)

, Joker, League of Assassins and Court of Owls.

Except for the relatively normal Penguin, the rest are all anti-social and anti-human characters.

Among them, the Owl Tribunal uses unscrupulous means to achieve its own goals, and at the same time pretends to be hypocritical, thinking that it is doing justice for the sky.

Fortunately, Li Lei has read the books of DC cartoonists, and knows that the birth of the Court of Owls originated from a group of Gotham City who did not want to succumb to the "Four Families"

The most sensational thing they did was to kill Bruce Wayne's parents.

The Owl Court is composed of a group of so-called Gotham nobles, but the dirty work is the "claws" they captured from orphanages or other places to train orphans

The success rate of Claws is very low, orphans who do not become Claws can only die, and those orphans who are good-looking are even more miserable.

After all, Gotham is not a clean place, and most of the rich and powerful here have bad habits of one kind or another.

People like Li Lei who often walk in gray areas naturally know the "Night Butterfly Club" under the Court of Owls

What is it, every time there is a party there, countless children are sent in.

And when the party was over, there were cars carrying the bodies of many children to Gotham Bay for reclamation.

Seeing that Li Lei frowned, Benjamin comforted him, "At least your home is being watched by the police, and those people should take care of the face of the police and the city government.

As long as you don't go out casually, I think your safety is guaranteed. "

Li Lei nodded, and then said: "A cousin from my distant house came to Gotham to look for me. I will see her later. Don't mess around."

Li Lei knows Benjamin's flamboyant nature, although he is not the kind of person who would force others or recruit prostitutes, but with his looks and his Shanghai style of spending money, there are still women who are willing to stick to him in nightclubs. Grab a handful.

The important thing is that Benjamin's mouth is so sweet, and he performs a little romantic magic from time to time. Basically, there are no women who don't fall for it.

However, Li Lei thought that if Benjamin, Ada Wang's goddess of death, was very successful, it would be him who was in trouble.

It's a pity that Benjamin ignored Li Lei's warning, but was very curious about Li Lei's cousin.

You must know that when he was studying, Li Lei's appearance was recognized as a male-female killer. Not only did girls have a good impression of him, but Li Lei was also a heavenly dish in the eyes of many comrades.

It is also because of this that Benjamin is looking forward to Li Lei's distant cousin.

He almost rushed up to the second floor, and then saw Ada Wang sitting on the sofa.

Benjamin felt an arrow shot in the heart by Cupid, and his 1999 first love appeared!

"Hello!

I'm Li Lei's cousin, Ada Wang; you can call me Ada. "

Ada took the initiative when she saw Li Lei and the two of them.

After Ada stood in front of Benjamin, he became more and more sure that he had a heart for Ada, and he immediately smiled obsequiously: "So you are Ada!

I heard Lei mentioned you many times when I was in college.

Sure enough, being famous is not as good as meeting!

If I had a cousin like you, I would wish that all the boys in the school would be jealous of me!

My name is Benjamin, you can call me Ben. "

It has to be said that Benjamin's nonsense came out as soon as he opened his mouth. Fortunately, neither Ada nor Li Lei planned to expose him.

Because of the presence of Benjamin, the supper was very pleasant.

Everyone tacitly didn't talk about the noon, so they had a very enjoyable meal.

After the dessert was finished, Benjamin also knew it was time to say goodbye.

When Li Lei sent Benjamin away, Benjamin repeatedly warned: "The claws of the Owl Court are first-class elites, and I don't think your security measures here can stop them.

I know you should have other means, so don't be vague when the time comes.

It doesn't matter even if things get serious, I'll find a way to send you to the federal prison, at least you can avoid here. "
