Chapter 761: Catwoman's Bizarre Adventure (Part II)

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, but this saying is not very applicable in Gotham, where the vast majority of thieves are at the bottom of the food chain, because the top layer is full of robbers with real guns.

Only a few thieves are exceptions, including the famous Catwoman.

The vast majority of the snitches on the same level as Catwoman are thieves with professional ethics, and their targets have the following characteristics: they are relatively easy to bully, weak sense of prevention, not too much firepower, weak local defense, and easy to escape from the surrounding terrain.

It stands to reason that thieves like to choose these places to commit crimes, but Catwoman is famous because she likes to do the opposite.

She specifically looked for those places that were the most difficult to bully, had a strong sense of prevention, had extremely sufficient firepower, and were very well defended and not easy to escape at all.

In simple terms, it's the manor of the Twelve Families, the jewelry store in the heart of Gotham, the bank valuables depository, the Gotham Auction House, and even the estate of Schiller Rodriguez.

And her record is not only that, as a thief, she soaked Gotham's most famous vigilante, and also lived in his manor as a matter of course.

As the first of the Four Snitches in the Eastern District, Catwoman is well-known in the Eastern District, and other districts have also heard of her reputation.

The vast majority of residents in the affluent southern and western neighborhoods are not afraid of thieves like Catwoman, as Catwoman is known to be only interested in jewelry.

In fact, most of the jewelry is not too valuable, and the residents of the wealthy area only think that in a place like Gotham, Catwoman has such a ability, but only takes the jewelry and does not engage in assassination, thank God.

So, Catwoman has also done a few times before, but it didn't cause much repercussions, and the mentality of most residents in rich areas is, you can come, steal, steal, as long as you don't destroy things, don't make explosions, don't point a gun at me, whatever jewelry you want, just take it, you can buy it again anyway.

After all, in this kind of security situation in Gotham, losing something is only the lightest kind of loss, and if you can spend money to buy your life, everyone will be happy.

One might ask, why don't they try to stop Catwoman?

The problem is that the godfather Falcone can't stop Catwoman, and their useless attempts are just a waste of energy and bullets, anyway, she doesn't want much, so it's better to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

This fueled Catwoman's reputation even more, and her reputation for stealing all kinds of spirits spread throughout Gotham, and Madame Goethe knew about it.

Ordinary people are not afraid to steal, but Madame Goethe, for there is something unsightly in her estate, and that is some reward she has received from the great king.

Since working with Leon, Madame Goethe, relying on her social status and wealth, has helped the great king do a lot of things, and has also received many strange collectibles from him.

Madame Goethe herself had never met the great king, but the fact that the collection alone gave a glimpse of his identity strengthened Madame Goethe's determination to work for him.

However, the Great King has decreed that now is not a good time to reveal his identity, if Catwoman, a peerless god, really breaks into the Gothic family's manor and turns it upside down, it will inevitably be exposed.

Thinking of this, Madame Goethe hastened to contact Leon, and when Leon came to the Gothic manor, he immediately rebuked Madame Goth, saying:

"What are you panicking about? It's just a thief, and it's worth your own trouble? ”

Madame Goethe, wiping the sweat from her forehead, said, "But...... However, my identity cannot be revealed, and if the Godfather knows, I will use the shipyard and the docks...... Then I'm dead! ”

Leon snorted coldly and said, "Is it the godfather who came to steal things?" Since it's not, then why are you panicking? ”

"It's just a little thief, you can't hold your breath like this, if in the future, when you do more great things for our great king, won't something go wrong every day?"

"Yes, yes, I was a little panicked just now." Mrs. Goethe clutched her chest and nodded, "After all, there is no news from my daughter's side, and I have been a little anxious these days......"

Leon sat down on the couch, glanced at Madame Goth, and said, "There is a thief who wants to come to your house to steal something, and mention it."

I sent a notice before, so if you don't call the police, what are you waiting for? ”

"Alarm ???" Mrs. Goethe showed a ridiculous expression, she said: "In Gotham, no one will call the police, the police are useless, and whoever calls the police will be weak and may lose their lives!" ”

"When is it, you are still struggling with these things, do you really want a thief to turn over the bounty that the great king has given you at will?!"

Madame Goethe was still a little confused, but Leon had already walked to the phone, he picked up the phone and dialed, and said, "Hello? Is it Gotham Police Department? Here's the thing......"

Half an hour later, at the gate of Gothic Manor, Gordon took his notebook, recorded it, and looked up and asked, "...... Catwoman says she's coming to steal? So did she say when she came? Tonight? Well, we'll send the police, so keep an eye on the gates of the manor and don't open them to strangers......"

After saying that, Gordon went to dispatch the police, and Mrs. Goethe asked with some hesitation, "Is this really okay?" I never counted on the police, and no one in Gotham would expect the police......"

When Gordon returned to the police station, he immediately called Wayne Manor.

Others don't know Catwoman's identity, doesn't he know yet? It's okay if Batman hasn't come out to fight crime in the past few days, after all, it's not his obligation, but you have to take care of your girlfriend, right?

Although, in Gotham, stealing is not a big crime, and even if the court decides, there is no cell for thieves to live in, but Catwoman is the most famous snitch in Gotham after all, and Gordon still wants to be interesting to show respect.

Gordon called Wayne Manor, and it was Alfred who answered the phone, and Gordon said to the other end of the line, "Hey, how are you?" Oh, it's Mr. Alfred, yes, it's me Gordon......"

"That's right, I'm looking for Bruce, is he there? Why hasn't he been home in a few days? Where did he go? Traveling? ”

"Studying hard at Gotham University? Winning the best graduates? Okay, okay, I see, then I'll call the school and look for him......"

After Gordon put down the phone, he called the Registrar's Office at Gotham University, but the Registrar's Registrar sent someone to look for him in Bruce's dormitory, but he couldn't find him, and in the end, Gordon had to call Schiller and ask him if he had seen Bruce at Gotham University.

Schiller, who had just returned from school and was going to take a break, took the phone receiver from Merkel and said, "Hey? Yes, it's me, you're looking for Bruce? I'm sorry, you can't look for him now, because he's focused on studying, yes, the prodigal son turned back......"

"What happened to Catwoman? She's going to steal from the Gothic family? Also send a notice in advance? ”

"This can't be done, if Bruce finds out about this, he'll definitely put on that uniform again to stop her, and after a busy night, he'll have to use the day to make up for sleep, so what about my class?"

"Forget it, the Goths, right? I'll go with you later, and if Catwoman tries to mess around, I'll stop her so she doesn't delay Bruce from learning. ”

Hanging up the phone, Schiller put on his coat again, drove to the door of Gothic Manor, and waited for Gordon's police car to arrive, and the two entered Gothic Manor together.

Mrs. Goethe seemed surprised by Gordon's return, and she thought that the police were just going through the motions and would not come back.

At Schiller's behest, Gordon introduced to Mrs. Goethe: "This is the security adviser of the police department, and he will help you with the police ......."

Madame Goethe and Leon both shook Schiller's hand, but did not focus on him, they were busy hiding the valuables in a safe place.

After sitting on the couch for a while, when it was getting dark, Schiller got up and said, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" ”

"Upstairs, turn right on the second floor." Madame Goethe pointed upstairs, then began to talk to Gordon, and Schiller went straight upstairs to the bathroom, and then, turning into a cloud of gray mist, began to investigate the terrain of the Goethe manor.

And at this time, Catwoman also touched the door of Gothic Manor.

It turns out that Leon, who came from out of town, completely underestimated the crime level of Gotham's criminals, and the police deployment and security monitoring did not play any role at all, and Catwoman entered very smoothly

Arrived at the Gothic manor.

But when she arrived at the manor, she found that the storerooms, warehouses, and bedrooms of Gothic Manor were empty, and there was not a single jewel.

This made Catwoman a little puzzled, it would be a bit strange to say that the bulk of the warehouse had been removed and the safe had been moved to a safer place, but there were no items in Madame Goethe's makeup box.

Catwoman has seen a lot of rich people in her stealing career, and most of them abandon their cars when they transfer important belongings, and they are stuffed into safes with necklaces with precious stones, ordinary pearl necklaces are thrown away, gold jewelry is carefully put away, and ordinary silver jewelry is placed outside.

However, Catwoman wanders around the bedrooms of Madame Goethe and Miss Goethe, and does not see a single piece of decent jewelry, which only arouses Catwoman's rebellious mentality.

Aren't you hiding? Then I'm going to find all these things.

So, she began to use the skillful thief's technique, groping for the secret passage mechanism in the room, she groped with her hands intently on the wall, so she didn't pay attention, and a gray mist floated behind her.

With a "bang", Catwoman instantly turned around and made a defensive gesture, but she didn't see anyone, but saw a gray mist.

The gray mist "thud" into an arrow, pointing somewhere on the wall.

Catwoman tilted her head, not understanding what he meant, and then, with a look of sudden realization, moved the stool, and reached high on the wall, where there was a plant pattern that could be pressed.

After the mechanism was pressed, a small door opened at the bottom of the closet, and Catwoman leaned down very flexibly to burrow over, and the gray mist drifted away.

Descending a series of stairs to a secret underground storage room, Catwoman is stunned by the sight.

I saw that these small storage rooms were full of all kinds of boxes, including armament boxes, crates, and cardboard boxes, and these boxes contained all kinds of strange things.

Catwoman frowned with a flashlight, looking at these things in the same way, and suddenly, with a "snap", the light came on.

Catwoman turns around alertly again, only to see Schiller behind him.

"Schiller? Why are you here? Catwoman asked, confused.

"I'm here to stop you from committing crimes, well, it sounds a bit like Batman, but actually, I'm here to stop Batman from committing crimes because he's going to write his dissertation."

"Oh my God! How could he have a professor like you? Catwoman complained in a bit of a broken heart, "If I had a teacher like this, I would drop out of school immediately!" ”

"Don't mention that, grab your flashlight and see what it's all about."

Catwoman rolls her eyes, but re-focuses her flashlight at the boxes, and just as he takes a step forward, something trips his calf, and Catwoman looks down, grabs the thing, and pulls it out.

"What is this? Well...... A kind of saber? Catwoman looked at the object in her hand.

It was a scimitar, not often more like a long dagger, but it was inlaid with a lot of gems, and it looked very luxurious, and with so many years of experience in Catwoman's connoisseurship, she knew that this was not a recent thing, and it should be a long time.

Suddenly, the light of the flashlight shone on something again, creating a strong reflection, and Catwoman picked it up and looked at it, it was a bronze mirror, which looked like an antique from an Asian country.

Intrigued, Catwoman opens another box, which is a military box, only to see a NAZI logo inside.

"What are they?" Catwoman was completely confused, but Schiller, as if remembering something, said to Catwoman, "Look here and see what is the oldest thing." ”

Catwoman was a little puzzled, but she did it anyway, after all, she could also see that the current situation was a little weird, beyond the scope of theft, more like discovering some big secret.

Eventually, Catwoman found a stone chip at the very bottom of the chests, and she said, "This doesn't seem to be a long-term problem, I'm afraid this thing is the same age as the dinosaurs." ”

Schiller glanced at the stone shard, but didn't take it, he had already thought of someone, and then Catwoman saw it

, Schiller gave a creepy smile.

"Let's get out of here first." After Schiller finished speaking, he walked outside, and Catwoman, who was following him, saw that he casually threw several things into a box by the door, which looked like metal badges.

As soon as they left the darkroom and returned to the bedroom, Catwoman suddenly heard an unusual noise, she turned around, and saw Schiller pointing an umbrella at her, and then, Schiller's shouts echoed through the Gothic manor:

"I got Catwoman!! Come to me!! ”

Catwoman stared at him, and then she heard Schiller whisper to her, "If you don't want to go to jail, just do as I say." ”

Twenty minutes later, in the Gotham police station, Gordon looked at Catwoman and asked with some confusion, "You said you were going to use the phone, who are you going to call?" ”

"You don't care!" Catwoman said with a look of resentment.

Gordon shook his head and said to the officer next to him, "Give her the phone, I'll see who you're going to call, if it's the gentleman we all know, I don't think he'll come and pick you up." ”

"Not to him." Catwoman picked up the receiver of the phone, and her words made Gordon breathe a sigh of relief, after all, if Bruce Wayne really came to get someone, the police chief would definitely be busy sending Catwoman out.

But then, Catwoman said something that made Gordon almost fall off the stool.

"Hello? CIA? I am a thief, and when I was stealing the Gothic family's estate, I found the Order of the Patriotic Nation of the USSR in their vault...... Or seven. ”

"Yes, full of martyrs."
