Chapter 761: Catwoman's Bizarre Adventure (Part 2)

As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about stealing. However, this saying is not very applicable in Gotham. In Gotham, most thieves are at the bottom of the food chain, because the top is full of real robbers with real guns.

But there are only a few thieves who are exceptions, including the famous Catwoman.

Most of the thieves who are as famous as Catwoman are thieves with professional ethics. The targets they target have the following characteristics: they are relatively easy to bully, have weak awareness of prevention, not too sufficient firepower, are in a place with weak defense, and the surrounding terrain is easy to escape.

Logically speaking, thieves like to choose these places to commit crimes, but the reason why Catwoman is famous is that she likes to do the opposite.

She specifically looks for those places that are the hardest to bully, have a strong sense of prevention, have extremely sufficient firepower, are in a place with very strict defense, and are not easy to escape.

In short, it is the manor of the twelve families, the jewelry store in the center of Gotham City, the bank's valuables deposit, the Gotham auction house, and even the manor of Schiller Rodriguez.

And her record is not limited to this. As a thief, she hooked up with Gotham's most famous vigilante and moved into his manor.

As the leader of the four thieves in the East District, Catwoman is well-known in the East District, and other districts have also heard of her reputation.

Most residents in the wealthy areas of the South and West are not afraid of thieves like Catwoman, because it is well known that Catwoman is only interested in jewelry.

In fact, most jewelry is not too valuable. Residents in the wealthy areas will only think that in a place like Gotham, Catwoman has such a skill, but only takes jewelry and does not assassinate. Thank God.

Therefore, Catwoman has also made several pre-announcements before, but it did not cause much response. The mentality of most residents in the wealthy areas is, come if you want, steal if you want, as long as you don't destroy things, don't make explosions, don't point guns at me, whatever jewelry you want, just take it away, anyway, you can buy it again.

After all, in Gotham's security situation, losing something is only the lightest kind of loss. If you can buy your life with money, 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 meaningless attempts are just a waste of energy and bullets. Anyway, she doesn't want much, so it's better to spend money to avoid disaster.

This further contributed to Catwoman's reputation. Her reputation of stealing and stealing spread throughout Gotham, and Mrs. Goth also knew this.

Ordinary people are not afraid of theft, but Mrs. Goth is not, because there are indeed shameful things in her manor, that is, some rewards she received from the great king.

Since cooperating with Leon, Mrs. Goth has relied on her social status and wealth to help the great king do a lot of things, and also got many strange collections from him.

Mrs. Goethe herself had never met the great king, but from these collections alone, she could get a glimpse of his identity, which also made Mrs. Goethe determined to work for him.

However, the great king ordered that now was not a good time to reveal her identity. If Catwoman, the peerless thief, really broke into the Goethe family's manor and turned it upside down, she would definitely be exposed.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Gode quickly contacted Leon. After Leon came to the Gothic Manor, he immediately reprimanded Mrs. Gode, saying:

"Why are you panicking? It's just a thief. Is it worth it for you to panic like this?"

Mrs. Gode wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "But...but, my identity cannot be exposed. If the Godfather knows that I used the shipyard and the dock...then I will be dead!"

Leon snorted coldly and said, "Is it the Godfather who came to steal things? If not, why are you panicking?"

"It's just a little thief, you are so impatient, if you do more big things for our great king in the future, won't you go wrong every day?"

"Yes, yes, I was a little panicked just now." Mrs. Gode covered her chest and nodded, saying, "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. Gode, and said, " A thief is coming to your house to steal things, and he has given a warning in advance. If you don't call the police, what are you waiting for? "

"Call the police? ? ? "Mrs. Goth showed an absurd expression. She said, "In Gotham, no one will call the police. The police are useless. And whoever calls the police means weakness and may lose his life!"

"It's time, and you are still entangled in these things. Do you really want a thief to randomly flip the reward given to you by the great king? ! "

Mrs. Goth was still a little entangled, 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 Goth Manor, Gordon took a notebook and took notes while looking up and asking: "...Catwoman said she was coming to steal things? Then when did she say she would come? Tonight? Okay, we will send police forces over. You keep an eye on the gate of the manor and don't open the door to strangers..."

After that, Gordon went to dispatch the police. Mrs. God asked hesitantly, "Is this really okay? I never counted on the police. No one in Gotham would count on the police..."

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

Others didn't know Catwoman's identity, but he didn't know it? It's okay that Batman didn'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, in Gotham, stealing is not a serious crime, even if the court sentenced it, there is no cell for the thief to live in, but Catwoman is the most famous thief in Gotham after all, Gordon still has to show respect.

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

"It's like this, I have something to do with Bruce, is he here? Why hasn't he been home for a few days? Where has he been? Is he traveling?"

"Studying hard at Gotham University? Striving for an outstanding graduate? Okay, okay, I get it, then I'll call the school to find him..."

After Gordon hung up the phone, he called the Academic Affairs Office of Gotham University, but the Academic Affairs Office of Gotham University sent someone to Bruce's dormitory to look for him, but they didn't find him. In the end, Gordon could only call Schiller to 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, "Hello? Yes, it's me. You want to see Bruce? Sorry, you can't find him now because he is focusing on studying. Yes, the prodigal son has returned..."

"What's wrong with Catwoman? Is she going to steal things from the Goth family? And she even sent a notice in advance?"

"That won't do. If Bruce finds out about this, he will definitely put on that uniform again to stop her. After a busy night, he will have to use the daytime to make up for his sleep. What about my class?"

"Forget it, the Goth family, right? I'll go with you later. If Catwoman wants to mess around, I'll stop her, so she won't delay Bruce's studies."

After hanging up the phone, Schiller put on his coat again and drove to the gate of the Goth Manor. When Gordon's police car arrived, the two entered the Goth Manor together.

Mrs. Goth seemed surprised that Gordon came back. She thought the police were just going through the motions and wouldn't come again.

At Schiller's instruction, Gordon introduced Mrs. Gothic: "This is the security consultant of the police station. He will help you deploy police force..."

Mrs. Gothic and Leon shook hands with Schiller, but did not focus on him. They were busy hiding the valuables in a safe place.

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

"Upstairs, turn right on the second floor." Mrs. Gothic pointed upstairs, and then chatted with Gordon. Schiller went straight upstairs and came to the bathroom. Then, he turned into a ball 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 outside, completely underestimated the crime level of Gotham criminals. The deployment of police force and security monitoring had no effect at all. Catwoman entered Gothic Manor very smoothly.

But when she arrived at the manor, she found that the storage room, warehouse, and bedroom of Gothic Manor were all empty, without a single piece of jewelry.

This made Catwoman a little confused. If the bulk of the goods in the warehouse were moved away and the safe was moved to a safer place, but there was nothing in Mrs. Gothic's makeup box, it was a bit strange.

Catwoman had seen many rich people in her theft career. Most of them would abandon the car to save the master when transferring important property. The necklace with precious gems was stuffed into the safe, the ordinary pearl necklace was thrown away, the gold jewelry was carefully put away, and the ordinary silver jewelry was placed outside.

However, Catwoman went through the bedrooms of Mrs. Gothic and Miss Gothic, but did not see a decent piece of jewelry, which aroused Catwoman's rebellious psychology.

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

So, she began to use the skilled thief's technique to grope for the secret passage in the room. She concentrated on groping on the wall with her hands, so she didn't notice that a cloud of gray mist floated behind her.

There was a "dong" sound, and Catwoman turned back instantly, taking a defensive posture, but she didn't see anyone, but saw a ball of gray fog.

The ball of gray fog turned into an arrow with a "bang", pointing to a certain place on the wall.

Catwoman tilted her head, not understanding what he meant, and then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. She moved a stool and reached out to touch the high part of the wall. There was a plant pattern there, which could be pressed down.

After the mechanism was pressed, a small door opened at the bottom of the wardrobe. Catwoman bent down very flexibly and crawled through it, and the gray fog followed.

Walking down a series of stairs, she came to a secret underground storage room, and Catwoman was stunned by the scene here.

All kinds of boxes were piled up in these small storage rooms, including military supply boxes, crates, and cardboard boxes, and all of these boxes were filled with all kinds of strange things.

Catwoman frowned with a flashlight, looking at these things one by one, and suddenly, "snap", the light came on.

Catwoman turned around again alertly, but saw Schiller appeared behind him.

"Schiller? Why are you here?" Catwoman asked in confusion.

"I'm here to stop you from committing a crime. OK, this sounds a bit like Batman, but actually, I'm here to stop Batman from stopping you from committing a crime, because he has to write a paper."

"Oh my God! How could he have a professor like you?" Catwoman complained in a somewhat collapsed state: "If I had a teacher like this, I would drop out immediately!"

"Don't mention it, take your flashlight and see what these are."

Catwoman rolled her eyes, but pointed the flashlight at the boxes again. Just as he took a step forward, something tripped his calf. Catwoman lowered her head, grabbed the thing, and pulled it out with force.

"What is this? Um... a kind of saber?" Catwoman looked at the thing in her hand.

It was a scimitar, not a long dagger, but it was inlaid with many gems, which looked very luxurious, and with Catwoman's many years of appreciation experience, she knew that this was not a modern thing, it should be old.

Suddenly, the light of the flashlight shone on another object, producing a strong reflection. Catwoman picked it up and saw that it was an ancient 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 remember something and said to Catwoman: "Look here and see what the oldest thing is."

Catwoman was a little puzzled, but she did it anyway. After all, she could see that the current situation was a bit weird and had gone beyond the scope of theft. It was more like discovering some incredible secret.

Finally, Catwoman found a piece of stone at the bottom of the boxes. She said: "This doesn't look like it's a long time ago. This thing is probably from the same era as the dinosaurs."

Schiller glanced at the stone, but didn't take it. He had already thought of someone. Then, Catwoman saw Schiller showing a creepy smile.

"Let's leave here first." Schiller said, and walked out. Catwoman, who followed him, saw that he casually threw a few 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 at her with an umbrella. Then, Schiller's shout echoed in Gothic Manor:

"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 what I say."

Twenty minutes later, in the Gotham Police Department, Gordon looked at Catwoman and asked in confusion: "You said you wanted to use the phone, who are you going to call?"

"Leave it to me!" Catwoman said with 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's the gentleman we all know, I don't think he will come to pick you up."

"Not to him." Catwoman picked up the receiver of the phone. Her words made Gordon feel relieved. After all, if Bruce Wayne really came to rescue someone, the police chief would definitely be busy sending Catwoman out.

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

"Hello? CIA? I'm a thief. When I was robbing the Goth family manor, I found the Soviet Patriotic Medal in their safe... or seven of them."

"Yes, a family of loyal martyrs."
