As the saying goes, don't be afraid of thieves, just be afraid of thieves. However, this saying does not apply in Gotham. In Gotham, the vast majority of thieves are at the bottom of the food chain, because the top ones are all armed with live ammunition. of robbers.
But only a few thieves are exceptions, including the famous Catwoman.
Most of the major snitches who are as famous as Catwoman are thieves with high professional ethics. The targets they target have the following characteristics: they are relatively easy to bully, have weak awareness of prevention, have insufficient firepower, and are in a defensive location. It is relatively weak and the surrounding terrain makes it easy to escape.
Logically speaking, thieves like to choose these places to commit crimes, but the reason why Catwoman is famous is because she likes to do the opposite.
She specifically looks for those places that are least likely to be bullied, have a strong sense of prevention, have sufficient firepower, are very heavily defended, and are not easy to escape from.
To put it simply, it is the estate of the Twelve Families, the jewelry store in downtown Gotham, the bank's valuables storage office, the Gotham Auction House, and even Schiller Rodriguez's estate.
And her achievements don't stop there. As a thief, she hooked Gotham's most famous vigilante and moved into his manor as a matter of course.
As the leader of the four major snitches in the East District, Catwoman is famous in the East District, and other districts are also aware of her reputation.
The vast majority of residents in wealthy areas in the south and west are actually not afraid of thieves like Catwoman, because as we all know, Catwoman is only interested in jewelry.
In fact, most of the jewelry is not very valuable. Residents in wealthy areas will only think that in a place like Gotham, Catwoman has such ability, but only uses jewelry and does not engage in assassinations. Thank God.
Therefore, Catwoman has committed several crimes in advance, but they did not cause much response. The mentality of most residents in wealthy areas is that you can come and steal as long as you don't destroy things or cause explosions. Don't point your gun at me. Whatever jewelry you want, just take it. You can buy it again anyway.
After all, in Gotham's security situation, losing something is only the lightest loss. If they can spend money to buy their lives, everyone will be happy.
Some people may ask, why don't they try to stop Catwoman?
The problem is that even Godfather Falcone can't stop Catwoman. 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 further contributed to Catwoman's reputation. Her reputation as a thief spread throughout Gotham, and Mrs. Goth knew this.
Ordinary people are not afraid of stealing, but Mrs. Goethe is not, because there are indeed shady things in her manor, which are certain rewards she received from the great king.
Since cooperating with Leon, Mrs. Goethe relied on her social status and wealth to help the great king do a lot of things, and also obtained many strange collections from him.
Mrs. Goethe herself had never met the great king, but just from these collections, we could get a glimpse of his identity, which also made Mrs. Goethe determined to work for him.
However, the great king has an order, and now is not a good time to reveal his identity. If Catwoman, a peerless thief, breaks into the Goethe family's manor and turns the place upside down, it will inevitably be exposed.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Goethe quickly contacted Leon. After Leon arrived at Goethe Manor, he immediately reprimanded Mrs. Goethe. He said:
"Why are you panicking? You're just a thief. Do you deserve to mess up like this?"
Mrs. Goethe wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "But...but, my identity cannot be exposed. If the godfather finds out that I use the shipyard and dock...then I will be dead!"
Leon snorted coldly and said, "Is it the godfather who came to steal things? If not, then why are you panicking?"
"You're just a little thief, and you can't hold your breath anymore. If you do more big things for our great king in the future, wouldn't you make mistakes every day?"
"Yes, yes, I was a little panicked just now." Mrs. Goethe covered her chest and nodded. "After all, there is no news from my daughter. I have been a little anxious these days..."
Leon sat on the sofa, glanced at Mrs. Goethe, and said: "A thief wants to come to your house to steal things, and he also mentioned
A warning was issued before, so if you don’t call the police, what are you waiting for? "
"Call the police???" Mrs. Goth showed a ridiculous expression and said: "In Gotham, no one will call the police, the police are useless, and if anyone calls the police, it means that they are weak and may lose their lives! "
"How long has it been and you are still struggling with these things? Do you really want a thief to flip through the rewards given to you by the great king?!"
Mrs. Goth was still a little confused, but Leon had already walked to the phone. He picked up the phone and dialed, and then said: "Hello? Is this the Gotham Police Department? This is what happened..."
Half an hour later, at the door of Gothic Manor, Gordon held a notebook and took notes while raising his head and asking: "...Catwoman said she was coming to steal something? Then when did she say she was coming? Tonight? Okay, let's The police will be sent here. Please keep an eye on the gate of the manor and don't open it to strangers..."
After saying that, Gordon went to dispatch the police. Mrs. Goethe asked hesitantly: "Is this really okay? I have never counted on the police. In Gotham, no one will count on the police..."
After Gordon returned to the police station, he immediately called Wayne Manor.
Others don’t know Catwoman’s identity, so doesn’t he know it? It’s okay if Batman hasn’t come out to fight crime these days. After all, it’s not his obligation, but you have to take care of your girlfriend, right?
Although theft is not a serious crime in Gotham, and even if the court decides, there will be no prison cell for the thief, Catwoman is the most famous snitch in Gotham after all, and Gordon still has to show some respect.
Gordon called Wayne Manor, and the person who answered the phone was Alfred. Gordon said to the other end of the phone: "Hello, hello? Oh, it's Mr. Alfred, yes, it's me, Gordon... …”
"It's like this. I have something to do with Bruce. Is he here? He hasn't been home for a few days? Where has he been? Did he go on a trip?"
"Study hard at Gotham University? Strive for outstanding graduates? Okay, okay, I understand, then I'll call the school to find him..."
After Gordon put down the phone, he called the Academic Affairs Office of Gotham University. However, the Academic Affairs Office of Gotham University sent someone to look for Bruce in his dormitory, but he was not found. In the end, Gordon could only call Schiller. Ask him if he has seen Bruce at Gotham University.
Schiller, who had just come back from school and was going to take a rest, took the phone receiver from Merkel and said: "Hello? Yes, it's me. Are you looking for Bruce? Sorry, you can't look for him now, because he I am focusing on studying, yes, the prodigal son turned back..."
"What's wrong with Catwoman? She's going to steal things from the Goth family? And she gave a notice in advance?"
"That's not okay. If Bruce learns about this, he will definitely put on that uniform again to stop her. After a busy night, he will use the day to replenish his sleep. What about my class?"
"Forget it, the Goth family, right? I'll go take a look with you later. If Catwoman wants to mess around, I will stop her so that she won't delay Bruce's study."
After hanging up the phone, Schiller put on his coat again and drove to the gate of Gothic Manor. When Gordon's police car arrived, the two entered Gothic Manor together.
Mrs. Goethe seemed surprised that Gordon had left and returned. She thought the police were just going through the motions and would not come again.
Under Schiller's instruction, Gordon introduced to Mrs. Goethe: "This is the security consultant of the police station. He will help you with police deployment..."
Mrs. Goethe and Leon both shook hands with Schiller, but did not focus on him. They were busy hiding the valuables in a safe location.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, when it got dark, Schiller stood up and said, "Sorry, where is the bathroom?"
"Upstairs, turn right on the second floor." Mrs. Goethe pointed upstairs, and then chatted with Gordon. Schiller went straight upstairs and came to the bathroom. Then, he turned into a cloud of gray mist and began to Investigate the terrain in Gothic Manor.
At this time, Catwoman also touched the door of Gothic Manor.
Facts have proved that Leon, who came from out of town, completely underestimated the crime level of Gotham criminals. The police deployment and security monitoring had no effect at all. Catwoman entered very smoothly.
Arrive at Gothic Manor.
But when she arrived at the manor, she discovered that the storage rooms, warehouses, and bedrooms of Goethe Manor were all empty, and there was not a single piece of jewelry.
This makes Catwoman a little confused. If the bulk goods in the warehouse have been removed and the safe has been moved to a safer place, it would be a bit strange that there is nothing in Mrs. Goth's makeup box.
Catwoman has met many wealthy people during her theft career. Most of them abandon their cars to protect their valuables when transferring important belongings. Necklaces with precious stones are stuffed into safes, and ordinary pearl necklaces are thrown away. Once thrown away, the gold jewelry was carefully put away, while the ordinary silver jewelry was placed outside.
However, Catwoman looked around the bedrooms of Mrs. Goth and Miss Goethe, but did not see any decent jewelry, which aroused Catwoman's rebellious psychology.
Aren't you hiding? Then I want to find out all these things.
So, she began to use her skilled thief's skills to explore the hidden passages in the room. She was so focused on groping on the wall with her hands that she didn't notice that a cloud of gray mist floated behind her.
There was a "boom" sound, and Catwoman turned back instantly, making a defensive posture, but she didn't see anyone, but saw a cloud of gray mist.
The gray mist turned into an arrow with a bang, pointing somewhere on the wall.
Catwoman tilted her head, not understanding what he meant. Then, she showed an expression of sudden realization, moved a stool, and reached out to the high point of the wall. There was a plant pattern there that could be pressed down.
After the mechanism was pressed, a small door opened at the bottom of the wardrobe. Catwoman leaned down very flexibly and got through, and the gray mist followed.
Descending a series of stairs to a secret underground storage room, Catwoman was stunned by what she saw.
I saw that these small storage rooms were filled with all kinds of boxes, including military equipment boxes, crates, and cardboard boxes, and these boxes contained all kinds of strange things.
Catwoman held the flashlight and frowned, looking at these things one by one. Suddenly, with a "pop", the light came on.
Catwoman turned around again alertly, only to see Schiller appearing behind him.
"Schiller? Why are you here?" Catwoman asked in confusion.
"I'm here to stop you from committing a crime, okay, that sounds a little like Batman, but really, I'm here to stop Batman from committing a crime because he has a paper to write."
"Oh my God! How come he has a professor like you?" Catwoman complained in a broken voice: "If I had a teacher like this, I would drop out of school right away!"
"Stop talking about this, get your flashlight and see what this is all about."
Catwoman rolled her eyes, but pointed the flashlight at the boxes again. Just as he took a step forward, something caught his calf. Catwoman lowered her head, grabbed the thing, and pulled it out hard.
"What is this? Um...a kind of saber?" Catwoman looked at the thing in her hand.
It was a scimitar, more like a long dagger than usual, but it was inlaid with many gems and looked very luxurious. And based on Catwoman's many years of appreciation experience, she knew that this was not a modern thing and should be old. .
Suddenly, the light of the flashlight shone on something again, causing a strong reflection. Catwoman picked it up and saw that it was a bronze mirror, which looked like an antique from an Asian country.
Catwoman was curious and opened another box. The box was a military box, but she saw a NAZI logo inside.
"What are these?" Catwoman was completely confused, but Schiller seemed to have remembered something and said to Catwoman: "Look here to see what the oldest thing is."
Catwoman was a little puzzled, but she still did as she was told. After all, she could also see that the current situation was a bit weird, and it was beyond the scope of theft. It was more like discovering some big secret.
Finally, Catwoman found a piece of stone at the bottom of these boxes. She said, "This doesn't seem to be a long-standing problem. I'm afraid this thing is from the same era as the dinosaurs."
Schiller glanced at the stone piece, but did not take it. He had already thought of some people. Then, Catwoman saw
, Schiller showed a creepy smile.
"Let's get out of here first." After Schiller said that, he walked out, and Catwoman who was following him saw that he threw a few things into a box next to 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 at her with an umbrella. Then, Schiller's shout echoed in Gothic Manor. among:
"I caught 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 wanted to use the phone, who are you going to call?"
"Don't worry!" Catwoman said with a look of resentment.
Gordon shook his head and said to the police officer next to him: "Give her the phone. I want to see who you are going to call. If it is the gentleman we all know, I don't think he will come." Picked you up."
"Not calling him." Catwoman picked up the receiver of the phone. Her words made Gordon sigh in relief. After all, if Bruce Wayne really came to get someone, the police chief would definitely be busy sending Catwoman out. .
But what Catwoman said next made Gordon almost fall off his stool.
"Hello? CIA? I'm a thief. When I stole the Goth family's manor, I found seven Soviet Patriotic Medals in their vault...or seven."
"Yes, the whole family is loyal."
