"Mayor White was shot and killed, and the killer shot him in the head and threw him off the patio."

In the banquet hall, everyone was led by the agents to the wall and stood in a row, except for Benjamin, who stood in the center of the hall, announcing Mayor White's death in that somewhat nonchalant tone.

He said a lot of things that were obvious to everyone, and as a result, there was some impatience on everyone's faces, but worse news awaited them.

"I have just received an order from my superiors that it is necessary for me to ensure the safety of all important people on the East Coast in order to prevent the recurrence of large-scale spy assassinations like last time."

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave the Mayor's Mansion, and there will be agents who will arrange for you to rest in different rooms......"

The crowd was in an uproar, but just as they were about to shout at Benjamin for his audacity, his next words were poured on everyone's heads like a basin of cold water.

"I think you've all heard on the radio about Philby's body, and you might think the critics are talking nonsense when they say there's a bigger conspiracy behind it, but I can tell you that it's not."

"Kim Philby, a high-ranking Soviet spy who was embedded in British MI6, left behind an important list of Soviet spies in the European and American intelligence networks during his lifetime, which we call the 'Philby List'."

According to a credible source, the list was handed over by Philby to a mysterious agent who had been in contact with him through a single line, and over the years, it was discovered that all kinds of clues pointed to the East Coast of the United States.

The boiling discussion on the floor gradually quieted down, and everyone knew that in this time and age, when it came to this issue, anyone could be a target, no matter how much wealth, status, and fame he had.

Benjamin's eyes swept across the field, his gaze was so oppressive that no one wanted to look at him, and he continued:

"In recent years, the frequent murders of spies in major cities on the East Coast are not accidental, and federal authorities have discovered that there is indeed a mysterious spy intelligence network here, and the person who organized and built this intelligence network is likely to be the mysterious agent who got Philby's list back then."

"I must regret to inform you here......" Benjamin's voice grew colder and lower, as if reading a death notice, "based on our years of investigation, that mysterious agent is likely to be in a high position, which means that he is most likely one of you." ”

"I'm sorry, everyone, but what I'm saying is that you are all suspicious, so you must stay and cooperate with the investigation."

"So, you're going to lock us up and interrogate us?" Bruce crossed his arms and said coldly, "Do you know that I have two more parties to go to tomorrow night, and I have to go to the football game the day after tomorrow......"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, but it's an order from my superiors, and I can't disobey it." Benjamin's tone towards Bruce was quite polite, or rather, he was afraid of such real behemoths as the Luthor and Wayne groups.

Although he 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 to the Wayne family was a spy.

Bruce seemed very irritable, and his attitude made the rest of the people a little nervous, they all knew that neither the CIA nor the FBI had a good way to deal with the Wayne Group, and if Bruce could stand up, maybe they wouldn't have to be locked up here.

And at this moment, Lyonnell 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 who did it......"

"We're all gathered here, and with the agents in place, the spies don't dare to make a second eucalyptus in a short time, but if everyone disperses and takes their own transportation home, no one knows if the murderer will pick on the lone person."

"It took a lot of effort to get to where you are today, and if all of this comes to naught because of some imprudent way of doing things, it will be a tragedy not only for you, but also for the East Coast city and the entire Federation......

Leonel strode to the center of the field, then looked at Benjamin, and said, "I think the head of the agent will definitely promise us that there will be no invasion of our privacy and will do his best to keep us safe, right?" ”

Benjamin crossed his arms and said, "I said it, this is not a mandatory review, it is just a closed method during the special period, there are enough supplies in the mayor's mansion, as long as you spend tonight, you can leave freely after the results of all external investigations are confirmed." ”

Hearing that there was only one night, many people's attitudes softened a little, and then Onnell asked Benjamin, "We're not going to be locked in a room, are we?" As long as we don't leave the mayor's mansion, we should be free to go anywhere, right? ”

Benjamin didn't reply, just nodded, and then said angrily: "You'd better not wander around, in case there is really a spy among you, and he attacks the lonely, and we can't protect you closely." ”

"You're saying that the spy will do something to us???"

"So what are we going to do?? If he rushed into my room and shot me, how could I have dodged? ”

"Aren't you guys the FBI? I pay so much tax every year, why don't you take care of keeping us safe?! ”

It was Bruce who interrupted the group's questioning and complaining, and he waved his hand impatiently, turned to walk up the stairs, and said, "Waiter, bring me some wine, it's a terrible night without wine......

After saying that, he grabbed Selena's waist and walked up the stairs, and Selena also smiled cooperatively and approached his face, as if teasing him.

The people around him have long been accustomed to his ridiculous behavior and words, and everyone knows that little Wayne is a playboy who doesn't learn anything.

Besides, Bruce is only 19 years old this year, you can't expect a 19-year-old child to be unfounded and cautious, those people who are ready to move see Bruce's attitude of drinking today and getting drunk today, sighed helplessly in their hearts, and were envious and jealous.

After Bruce left, many people followed him upstairs, and these people basically had no support, knowing that they couldn't resist this group of agents, so they resigned themselves to going upstairs to sleep.

After the vast majority of the people had gone upstairs, Schiller followed the crowd and led him to a female agent who had been trying to talk to Schiller on the way to the room.

"This star really wants to retire"

"I guess you're going to have a separate agent for each of you to set up a close, and 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, many of the eucalyptus I've been involved in have FBI agents involved in the investigation, and I've worked with them."

The female agent named Kayla looked a little unnatural, and she said, "Yes, sometimes we are also responsible for solving some unsolvable evils. ”

"Seriously, your colleagues are not as serious as you are when they are investigating, they don't go around the body, they just report a notebook and ask questions next to it, which is only useful when applying for a search warrant or conducting a mandatory search."

Kayla pursed her lips and said, "It's the nature of our work. ”

"But this also can't hide the fact that your investigation level is very poor, the detection efficiency is low, there is too much red tape, and some people have a lot of bad habits, and they are used to killing time......"

Kayla responds perfunctorily, she listens to Schiller scolding FBI agents all the way, but she can't find a chance to interject.

When opening the guest room door, Schiller entered the door, but instead of closing the door, he said to Kayla, "Miss Kayla, you can see that you have not been with the CIA for long......"

"I ...... What? I'm the FBI! ”

"Really? If you're really an FBI agent, you're going to pull out your gun and point it at my head when I say, 'You're like shit.' ”

Kayla glared at Schiller, who smiled and said, "You probably haven't experienced the benefits of having law enforcement power within federal territory, so you can't learn their arrogance." ”

"Anyway, thank you for sending me here, if you have any questions to ask, or any troubles to solve, I'm welcome to come here to me, but for now, good night."

With that, the door slammed shut, and Kayla stared at the door for a moment, and just as she turned to leave, there was a "squeak" and the door opened again, and Kayla turned around to see Schiller taping a piece of paper to the door, which said "Do Not Disturb".

"I was just polite, don't get me wrong." With Schiller's words, the door closed again.

On the other side, in Bruce's room, there was still talking and laughing just now, and the two of them, as soon as they entered the room, paused for a moment, and then began to rummage through the room with great tacit understanding.

"The quality of the sheets was good, enough for us to go down to the ground floor." Selena said as she lifted the pillow and quilt and pulled the sheets down.

Bruce pulled out a razor from the bathroom attached to the master bedroom and said, "I can take a part out of it and pick the lock, after all, if you open the door, it's easy to spot." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the window and looked down, and said, "They seem to have put some dangerous people in the upper echelons, including Professor Schiller, and they probably didn't think we were a threat, so they only put us on the fourth floor......

Selena twisted the sheets into a rope and said, "We'll have to go get the gear, but you can't wear the suit when you get back, or it will be too obvious." ”

"Of course I know, I'm not going to turn this place into a gladiatorial arena, on the contrary, I'm going to see what they want to do." Bruce squinted at the agents patrolling the yard.

After a while, after Selena had it done, she also came to the balcony, looked left and right at the route of the agent's patrol, and said a little puzzled, "Where are they agents?" How do I feel inferior to Gotham's gangsters? ”

"You see, there's a patrol corner there, on the edge of the flower bed...... If I climbed up the pine tree and jumped down, they wouldn't have noticed. ”

"And there, the two of them turned around so close that I could even rush straight over......"

Selena frowned, full of disgust, and said, "A well-known gang boss in the Eastern District would not have arranged such a porous patrol route, otherwise, their manor would have been stolen by me a long time ago." ”

Bruce sighed helplessly, and just as he was about to say something, Selena turned around and went back and said, "The plan has changed, they are too amateurish, you don't have to go out, I'll just help you get the equipment back." ”

Bruce opened his mouth for a moment, it was the first time he had heard someone in action to help him solve everything, Selena waved her hand nonchalantly, Bruce thought for a moment, or said: "Okay, the key to the helicopter is in ......"

Selena turned her head and smiled sweetly at Bruce, then with a wave of her right hand, a key with a clasp appeared on her fingertip, and she said:

"Right here with me...... And your heart. ”
