In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 107: The cat’s death
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
In the theater in Gotham Manor, Schiller took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray and clinked glasses with Mrs. Leto in front of him. Not much more, those dance parties in the city are really too noisy, and the sound is so loud that I have 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 a dance like this, but you know , Now those young people are making too much noise, 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 recent economy seems to have improved a lot."
Ms. 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 in the apartment on Elizabeth Street. Bull, talk about buying another apartment..."
"Madam, you are wise." A thick voice came from the side, and a man with a mustache came over. He lightly touched Schiller and Mrs. Leto's glasses with his wine glass, and then said: "Hello, this is my business 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 all over the East Coast."
"As you know, 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 very interested. She said: "I heard that the scenery in Chicago is better 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 retirement homes, I would recommend Imperial City. The scenery there is so beautiful that it is unique on the entire east coast. Yeah, and you know, it's a lot safer 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 , with your husband's ability, it should be good to buy a manor there."
Mrs. Leto slapped 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 have one or two It's not bad to go there for a month's vacation, 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 some areas, but it may take some time."
The Jinbei manager said: "It would be great if this were the case. Actually, I didn't understand. Gotham's second location is obviously very good, but why are there so many rainy days? If there are three There are sunny days in four months, so the beaches here will definitely 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. The best urban beach in the East City Preserve.
The waiter came over with a tray and circled around again. They took some biscuits, drank and ate, and chatted about the future development of Gotham. While chatting, Schiller found a scene outside the theater door. A black figure flashed, 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. Also empty.
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 is a high-end thief, not a street pickpocket. Catwoman basically steals expensive jewelry from jewelry stores, or some hidden treasures. The stamp album in the hands of the family 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 are also very busy. All became three shifts.
Catwoman steals things by infiltrating and adding skills, not like some hitters, killing everyone and no one will find my infiltrating. Catwoman's petite size and strength do not 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.
Actually, it stands to reason that with this ability, Catwoman would not starve to death if she did something else, but she was raised as a thief since she was a child. .
What 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.
It is said that if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. One day, Catwoman's theft failed again.
But this time, she provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked. This time, the place she stole from 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, with sufficient manpower, and there are no dead spots in the store.
What is also different from those other jewelry stores is that the people under Falcone have the courage and ability to hunt down anyone in Gotham. The majesty of the godfather cannot be tarnished. was wanted directly.
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 in 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 ran to the vicinity of the manor area smoothly.
After entering the manor area, Catwoman was also a little apprehensive, because the English-style manor here looks very eerie under the night, which is why even though there are many rich people here, she seldom comes here s reason.
But there is no way, the enemy is chasing behind, Catwoman is advancing cautiously in the manor area, the deeper she goes, the more hopeless she feels, because for some reason, it seems that everyone here has disappeared.
Catwoman bravely continued to run forward, and then found a faint 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 building. On that lighted window sill.
She leaned against 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.
Beside the balcony, there is a solid wood desk, on which there are a lot of messy materials, and there are many tomes that the catwoman feels headache 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 is not big, and it seems to contain some black dirty water, but the material of the bottle itself makes Catwoman's heart beat fast for a moment.
That's a diamond! All of them!
A whole bottle is made of diamonds! ! !
Catwoman knows that she will never be wrong. She has been a thief for so many years and has 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.
This window is locked, and it seems to use a lock that Catwoman can't understand and can't pick, but this jewel thief who has been in Gotham for many years is not for nothing.
Seeing that the window could not be opened, she went straight down the balcony and tried every window, and then she found that the owner of the manor was so cautious that all the windows were used. The 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. In the medieval English manor, a secret door will be left at the sewer entrance of the toilet to allow the servants to clean up the accumulated dirt. .
The manor built here, although this function is no longer used in the time it was built, because the modern drainage system is used here, but it may be a kind of feeling of the architect, this medieval sewage channel It was still preserved.
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 be able to get 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 broken was that the door of the bathroom was locked!
How afraid is this person of being stolen!
Fortunately, it may be that the owner of the manor also thinks that strange lock is very troublesome. If he uses it in a hurry, he 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 clicks, and then tiptoed to the table.
She happily picked up the bottle made of diamonds, put it under the light to appreciate carefully, and now she is sure, it must be a diamond.
However, what puzzled her was that she had never seen such a pure diamond, whether it was color or clarity, it was almost impeccable, and it looked almost perfect.
What makes Catwoman even more puzzled is that such a beautiful bottle actually contains a puddle of black dirty water. slime.
I don’t know if it’s Catwoman’s illusion~IndoMTL.com~ She felt the slime move a bit, but she’s been dazzled by the diamond bottle, and she can’t wait to put such a beautiful diamond in her collection immediately in the cabinet.
So she didn't care about what was in the bottle, and directly stuffed the bottle into the pouch around her waist.
Because the windows and doors are locked, Catwoman is worried that the owner of the manor will not be able to escape when she returns. Besides, it is 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 outside the door of the bathroom, and the door was locked and restored.
Catwoman who returned to her home took out the bottle and looked left and right. Will you use such a beautiful bottle to hold a puddle of sticky black goo?
Catwoman wants to pour out the contents, but the sealing method of this bottle is very special. Its stopper is not a common wooden stopper. There are a series of complicated buckles on it, and there seems to be a miniature lock.
The technical 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 Will harm the beautiful bottle.
So she took a crowbar, a file and pliers, knocked and smashed at the upper mechanism, and worked for a long time. Except for a buckle that was slightly loose, the whole stopper remained intact.
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.
