The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the theater in the Gotham Manor area, Schiller took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and clinked glasses with Mrs. Leto in front of him. Schiller sighed: There are not many such lively and solemn dance parties nowadays. , those dance parties in the city are really too noisy, those loud noises give me a headache.

Mrs. Leto stroked her white hair on the sideburns and said: In our time, girls and boys were often very shy, but no one dared to hold hands at such a ball, but you know, now that Helping young people is too crazy, once I went to the Jinbei mansion in the city center, I was shocked, not so much the clothes they were wearing, but the curtains were tighter than that...

Schiller laughed and said: After all, the development is too fast now, but this is also a good thing. The economy seems to have improved a lot recently.

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

Ma'am, you are wise. A thick voice came from the side, and a man with a mustache came over. He touched the glasses of Schiller and Mrs. Leto lightly with his wine glass, and said, Hi ,this is my name card.

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

Yes, I work for the Godfather, but of course, our Jinbei Company is also a legal company independent of the Falcone family, with real estate businesses throughout the East Coast.

You also know that we have recently cooperated with Chicago, and the land there is about to be fired. I came to this party specially to introduce the real estate in various eastern cities to you rich gentlemen and wives.

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

Are you Mrs. Leto? You are really asking the right person. Chicago is indeed good, but when it comes to pension villas, I would recommend the Imperial City. The scenery there is so beautiful, it is unique on the entire east coast, and You know, it's a lot safer out there than Gotham or Chicago.

Although I like the tropical style of Imperial City very much, there are too many casinos there and too many tourists from other places. I always feel that living there will not be quiet. 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 gangsters there are nothing compared to Gotham. Depending on you 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 planning to discuss this matter with him. Although we have lived in Gotham for generations, the weather here is really terrible. If we can go there in a month or two Vacationing over there is not bad, after all, we are all old, and the air in Gotham is not good for prolonging life...

Schiller said: I heard that the mayor intends to work with Wayne Group to develop an urban air purification system and promote it nationwide, which can adjust the climate in local areas, but it may take some time.

The Jinbei manager said: It would be really great if this is the case. Actually, I didn't understand. Gotham's location is obviously very good, but why are there so many rainy days? If there are three or four months in a year On a sunny day, the beaches here will drive tourists from all over the East crazy.

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

The waiter came over with a tray and circled around again. They took some biscuits, ate while drinking, and chatted about the future development of Gotham. While chatting, Schiller noticed a black man outside the theater door. His figure flashed for a moment, as if someone was staring at him.

The theater here is brightly lit because of the ball, but the manor is completely dark. This old-fashioned manor community is not big, and there are not many residents. Once the ball is held, basically all the members are present, and their houses are naturally empty. caught.

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. Of course, she belongs to the kind of high-end thief, not a street pickpocket. Catwoman basically steals expensive jewelry from jewelry stores, or from collectors. stamp album or something.

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

Catwoman steals things by sneaking in and adding skills, not like some hitters, killing everyone and no one will find my sneaking in. Catwoman's petite size and strength don't support her to take this route.

The clerks and security guards who work in three shifts are also a headache for her. Even if she can find a way to distract one or two of them, the noisy streets and bustling alleys make her theft very easy to be discovered.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that with this ability, Catwoman will not starve to death if she does something else, but she was raised as a thief since she was a child.

What should I do if I can't steal it? She could only bite the bullet and steal. Although she could succeed occasionally, it was too easy to be discovered and added a lot of enemies.

The so-called night walks will always encounter ghosts. One day, Catwoman's theft failed again.

But this time, she provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked. The place she stole this time is called Jinbei Jewelry Store, which is owned by Falcone.

The Falcone family is not like other small fish and shrimps. The security guards in the store are all professionally trained and fully staffed. There are no dead spots in the store. Catwoman was discovered as soon as she started.

It is also different from those 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. Catwoman was not only almost caught, but also directly wanted. up.

The twelve families sent people to chase her. On this day, Catwoman was chased up and down again. As a last resort, she started running to the edge of the city.

The killer at the back was obviously professionally trained, and they were chasing very closely. Catwoman had no choice but to grab a car and drive out of the East District, and ran to the West District. Thanks to Gotham's traffic control, there were no traffic jams or accidents. She made it smoothly. Ran 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 at night, which is why she seldom came here even though there were many rich people here.

But there was no way, the Chou family was chasing after her, and Catwoman was advancing cautiously in the manor area. The deeper she went, the more hopeless she felt, because for some reason, everyone seemed to have disappeared here.

Catwoman bravely continued to run forward, and then found a weak light from a window in one of the manors.

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

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

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

She stuck to the edge of the wall, stretched her head to look inside, and found that there was no one inside, it seemed that the owner forgot to turn off the light before leaving.

Next to the balcony is a solid wood desk with a lot of messy materials on it, and there are many tomes that Catwoman feels headaches at a glance. The owner of the manor seems to be a scholar.

But soon, something caught Catwoman's attention, which was a bottle in the corner of the 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 for a moment.

That's a diamond! All of them!

An entire bottle is made of diamonds! ! !

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

The bright light under the light almost dazzled Catwoman's eyes, and she was instantly fascinated.

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

Then she started to gnash her teeth again, what does the owner of this manor think? ? Why hollow out such a beautiful piece of diamond to make a bottle? ? How good would it be to be honest? ? ?

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

The window is locked, and it seems to use a lock that Catwoman can't understand or pick, but this jewel thief who has been in Gotham for many years is not for nothing.

Seeing that the window couldn't be opened, she went straight down along the balcony, tried every window, and then she found that the owner of the manor was so cautious that all the windows were used in that strange way. Strange locks were locked, even the little windows in the attic.

But hard work pays off. Old-fashioned English manors have a special structure. In medieval English manors, a secret door will be left at the sewer entrance of the toilet to allow servants to clean up the accumulated dirt.

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

Catwoman is petite, so she can just climb into the bathroom through this secret door, she thought, fortunately, no one has ever used this passage, otherwise she wouldn't have slipped in through 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 door of the bathroom was locked!

How afraid of being stolen is this person!

But fortunately, the owner of the manor may also think that 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 common iron lock.

This kind of lock can be picked open by Catwoman. She fixed the lock with two or three clicks, and then tiptoed to the table.

She happily picked up the bottle made of diamonds, put it under the light and admired it carefully, and now she was 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 it looks almost perfect.

And what makes Catwoman even more puzzled is that such a beautiful bottle actually contains a puddle of black dirty water. No, maybe it is not accurate to say that it is dirty water, it is more like a sticky black mucus.

I don't know if it was Catwoman's illusion, she felt the ball of slime move, but she was already dazzled by the diamond bottle, and she wished she could put such a beautiful diamond in her collection cabinet immediately.

So she didn't care what was in the bottle, and directly stuffed the bottle into the pouch on her waist.

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

Catwoman left along the way she came, and even before she left, she didn't forget to use a special method to hang the lock on the door of the bathroom, and the door was locked and restored.

Back at home, Catwoman took out the bottle, looked left and right, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, but the more I looked at it, the more obtrusive the black sludge in the bottle was, what kind of mental illness would use such a thing? Pretty bottle for a puddle of sticky black goo?

Catwoman wants to dump the contents, but the bottle is sealed in a very special way. Its stopper is not the usual wooden stopper. It has a series of complicated snaps and what appears to be a miniature lock.

The tech catwoman of this thing has never seen it, and she can't figure it out, but she only knows one thing, diamonds are the hardest gemstones in the world, so she can destroy this plug with violence without harming beautiful bottle.

So she took a crowbar, a file and pliers, knocked and smashed against the upper mechanism, and worked for a long time. Except for a buckle that was slightly loose, the whole stopper remained firm.

Catwoman was so exhausted that she was out of breath, and in a fit of anger, she didn't care about it. She threw the bottle on the bedside table and went to sleep. She planned to go out and find a professional to help pry it open after a few days.
