In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 419: Metropolis Suspect (5)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
"Mayor White was shot dead. The killer shot him in the head and threw him from above the patio."
In the banquet hall, everyone was led by the agents to the wall and stood in a row. Only Benjamin stood in the center of the hall and announced the cause of Mayor White's death in that somewhat indifferent tone.
He said a lot of things that were obvious to everyone, so there was some impatience on everyone's faces, but a worse news was still waiting for them.
"I just received an order from my superiors. In order to prevent a large-scale spy assassination from happening again like last time, it is necessary for me to ensure the safety of all important people on the east coast."
"From now on, everyone is not allowed to leave the mayor's mansion. Later, agents will arrange for you to enter different guest rooms to rest..."
The crowd was in an uproar, but just when they wanted to reprimand Benjamin for his audacity, his next words poured on everyone like a bucket of cold water.
"I think everyone should have heard the recent controversy over Philby's remains from the radio. You may think that those commentators who say that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it are nonsense, but I can tell You, it's not like that."
"Kim Philby, a Soviet spy lurking in the British MI6 and holding a high position, left an important list of Soviet spies lurking in the European and American intelligence networks before his death. We call it' Philby List'."
"According to a reliable informant, Philby handed over this list to a mysterious agent who has been in single-line contact with him. During years of investigation, it was discovered that all kinds of clues point to the east coast of the United States."
The heated discussions on the field gradually quieted down. Everyone knew that in this period, once this issue was involved, anyone could be a target, no matter how much wealth, status and fame he possessed.
Benjamin's eyes swept across the field, his eyes were extremely oppressive, and no one wanted to look at him, he continued:
"In recent years, it is not an accident that spies murdered frequently in major cities on the east coast. It was the mysterious agent who got Philby's list back then."
"Here, I must regret to inform everyone..." Benjamin's voice became colder and lower, his tone lower and lower, as if reading a death notice, he said: "According to our years of The investigation, the mysterious agent is likely to be in a high position, that is to say, he is likely to be one of you."
"Sorry, everyone, but what I want to say is that you are all suspected, so you must stay and cooperate with the investigation."
"So, are you going to lock us up and interrogate us?" Bruce said coldly, crossing his arms, "Do you know that I have two parties to go to tomorrow night, and I have to go the day after tomorrow Watching the football game..."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, but this is an order from my superiors, and I cannot disobey it." Benjamin's tone to Bruce was still polite, or in other words, he was very polite to real behemoths such as the Luthor Group and the Wayne Group. , also fearful.
Although he also knew in his heart that Bruce Wayne was unlikely to be a spy, the news that the president was a spy was more convincing than the news that the heir of the Wayne family was a spy.
Bruce looked very irritable, and his attitude made the rest of the people a little bit ready to move. They all knew that neither the CIA nor the FBI could take the Wayne Group very well. If Bruce could Stand up, maybe they won't have to be locked up here.
But at this moment, Laonnell stood up, he still maintained that smile, and then said: "Everyone calm down, Mayor White has just been killed, and no one knows if it was a spy. Hand..."
"We are all gathered here, and there are spies, and the spies don't dare to make a second case in a short time, but if everyone disperses and goes home by their own means of transportation, who will go home? I don't know if the murderer will pick out the one who is alone."
"Everyone has put in a lot of hard work to achieve today's status and reputation. If all of this comes to naught due to some careless ways of handling things, it will not only be a tragedy for you, but also for East China. It is also a loss for the coastal cities and the entire Federation..."
Leonel strode to the center of the venue, then looked at Benjamin, and said, "I think the head of the secret service will definitely assure us that he will never violate our privacy and will try his best to protect us safe, right?"
Benjamin crossed his arms and said, "I've said it all, this is not a mandatory review, it's just a closed method during a special period. There are sufficient supplies in the mayor's mansion. Just spend tonight until the results of all external investigations are confirmed." After confirmation, you are free to leave."
Hearing that there was only one night, many people's attitudes softened a little. Then, Leonel asked Benjamin again: "We won't be locked in the room, right? As long as we don't leave the mayor's mansion, We should be free wherever we go, right?"
Benjamin didn’t answer, just nodded, and then said angrily: “You’d better not wander around, if there is really a spy among you, if he attacks those who are alone, we can’t personally protect you .”
"You mean, that spy will attack us again???"
"Then what are we going to do?? If he rushes into my room and shoots at me, how can I avoid it??"
"Aren't you the FBI? I pay so much tax every year, why aren't you responsible for keeping us safe?!"
It was Bruce who interrupted the group of people questioning and complaining. He waved his hand impatiently and turned to go up the stairs. He said: "Waiter, bring me some wine, there is no wine The night was really bad..."
After speaking, he held Selena's waist and walked up the stairs. Selena also smiled very cooperatively and approached his face, as if teasing him.
People around him have long been accustomed to his absurd behavior and words. Everyone knows that Little Wayne is an ignorant playboy.
Besides, Bruce is only 19 years old this year. You can't expect a 19-year-old child to be worry-free and cautious. Those people who were ready to move saw Bruce's attitude of being drunk now, and sighed helplessly in their hearts. Envy and jealousy again.
After Bruce left, many people followed him upstairs. These people basically had no backing, knowing that they could not resist these agents, so they resigned themselves to their fate and went upstairs to sleep.
After most people went upstairs, Schiller followed in the crowd. A female agent led him. On the way to the room, she kept trying to talk to Schiller.
"This star really wants to retire"
"I guess, you should arrange a separate agent for everyone to get close, and then ask for information, what do you want to ask?" Schiller said straight to the point to the female agent.
"You can call me Kayla, you don't seem to be very disgusted with agents, have you ever dealt with us?"
"Of course, I've worked with quite a few FBI agents on cases I've been involved with, and I've worked with them."
The female agent named Keira seemed a little unnatural, and she said: "Yes, sometimes we are also responsible for solving some difficult murders."
"To be honest, your colleagues didn't take you seriously when they searched the case. They don't go around the corpse, they just write a notebook and ask around. They only apply for a search warrant. Or it might be useful for mandatory searches.”
Kayla pursed her lips and said, "This is determined by the nature of our work."
"But it can't hide the fact that your detection level is very poor. The detection efficiency is low, there are too many red tapes, and some people have many bad habits, and they are used to killing time..."
Kayla responded perfunctorily. She heard Schiller scolding the FBI agents all the way, but she couldn't find a chance to intervene.
When opening the door of the guest room, Schiller entered the door, but did not close the door, but said to Kayla: "Miss Kayla, it can be seen that you have not been in the CIA for a long time. ..."
"I... what? I'm the FBI!"
"Really? If you're really an FBI agent, when I say 'You guys work like shit,' you're supposed to pull out your gun and point at the My head is gone."
Kayla stared at Schiller, and Schiller smiled and said, "You probably haven't experienced the benefits of having law enforcement powers within the federal territory, so you can't learn from their arrogance."
"Anyway, thank you for sending me here. If you have any questions to ask, or any troubles to solve, you are welcome to come to me here, but for now, good night."
After finishing speaking, the door closed with a "bang". Kayla stared at the door for a while, and when she turned to leave, the door opened again with a "squeak", and Kayla turned her head, I saw Schiller sticking a piece of paper on the door, which said "Do Not Disturb".
"I was just being polite, don't get me wrong." After Schiller finished speaking, the door closed again.
On the other side, in Bruce's room, there was chatting and laughing just now. The two entered the room, paused for a moment, and then began to search in the room in an incomparable tacit understanding.
"The quality of the sheets is good, enough for us to go down to the first floor." Selena said as she lifted the pillow and quilt and pulled the sheets down.
Bruce took out a razor from the bathroom attached to the master bedroom, and said: "I can take out a part from it to pick the lock, after all, if you turn the door, it's easy to find. "
Speaking, he went to the window and looked down, saying: "They seem to have arranged some dangerous people to the upper floors, including Professor Schiller. They may think that we are not a threat, so they only arranged us on the fourth floor. ..."
Selena said while twisting the sheets into a rope ~IndoMTL.com~, "We have to get the equipment, but you can't wear the battle suit when you get back, otherwise it will be too obvious."
"Of course I know, I don't intend to turn this place into an arena, on the contrary, I want to see what they want to do." Bruce narrowed his eyes and looked at the agents patrolling the yard.
After a while, after Selena got it done, she also came to the balcony, looked left and right at the patrol route of the agents, and said a little doubtfully: "Where are they agents? Why do I think it's not as good as Gotham's gang?"
"Look, there is a patrolling blind spot, by the side of the flower bed... If I climb up the pine tree and jump down, they will definitely not find it."
"And there, those two people turned around too close together, I could even rush over there..."
Selena frowned, and said with disgust: "The famous gang bosses in the East District would not have arranged such a loophole-filled patrol route, otherwise, I would have stolen their manor long ago. .”
Bruce sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, Selena turned back and said, "The plan has changed. They are too amateur. You don't have to go out. I'll just help you get the equipment back." .”
Bruce opened his mouth, it was the first time he heard that someone was going to help him solve everything in action, but Selena waved her hand indifferently, Bruce thought for a while, and said: "Okay, the helicopter The key is in..."
Selena turned her head, smiled sweetly at Bruce, then waved her right hand and picked up her fingertips, a key with a buckle appeared on her fingertips, she said:
"It's here with me...and your heart."
