American comic Gotham, the sheriff of Arkham

Boom! The bag of gems was thrown onto the counter.

The little old man standing behind the counter took off his reading glasses, wiped the lenses with a piece of cloth, and looked up at them.

"Look, how much this thing can be sold for."

Miao Mu leaned against the counter with a smile on his face, raised his hand and turned the stand lamp above it, pointing the light towards the counter.

The little old man picked up the bag and poured out the gems. Under the light, the cut surface of the gems shone with colorful colors.

The old man took out a monocular magnifying glass from under the counter, looked at a ruby ​​carefully, then threw it aside and picked up another one to look at.

"Handle it with care! This is a gem!" Jerry, who was standing nearby with his arms folded, shouted when he saw this scene.

Another gem fell on the table as if on purpose. Miao Mu's mouth twitched and he gritted his teeth and said, "I suspect you are selling stolen goods here. I need to search you!"

The old man looked up at him, snorted twice, and threw the gem in his hand onto the table again, "Do you know the difference between gems and glass? Are you trying to fool people with something like that?"

"Huh?" X2

"What did you say?" Miao Mu asked quickly.

The old man picked up a gem and said, "This is fake. If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be some kind of decoration. Such a big ruby... Tsk tsk tsk, you dare to imagine it."

"..."

"So...are they all fake?" Jerry asked in a trembling voice.

"That's not the case. This is a real gemstone and is worth some money."

The old man picked up a light blue gem, shone it under the light, nodded in confirmation, swept the other "gems" into the bag and threw it back to Miaomu.

"I'll take this one, and use the rest to entertain the kids. Maybe you can even trick a couple of big-breasted, brainless babes."

At this point, the old man smiled slightly obscenely, and it was obvious that he was not a good person when he was young.

"How much?" Miao Mu asked, holding the bag.

A stack of banknotes was thrown out from the counter. The old man held the sapphire and said, "Since you have introduced a big client to me, I will buy it from you at the original price this time, Mr. Policeman..."

Hearing this, sir, Miaomu and the others smiled. This sounded so comfortable.

Grabbing the bills on the counter, Miaomu looked at Franklin's old face on it, pointed out three bills and slapped them on the table.

"Please return to us all the things we left here, including the umbrella."

"It's in the box at the door. Go get it yourself."

The old man waved his hand and was about to see the guest off.

Jerry had gone out and found their clothes in a broken wooden box and the umbrella stuck in the barrel.

Miao Mu kept looking around, but unfortunately, he had no reaction to the feeling he had before.

I walked around the Arkham district four times but didn't get any hint of the treasure. It seems that this thing really requires a little bit of luck.

"Oh, Mumu, your police uniform has grown hair."

White mold had grown on the police uniform that Jerry was holding the seedling in. It was already damp and if it was covered like this, mushrooms might grow on it in a few days.

"OK, OK, let's go have some fun!"

Miaomu shook the stack of banknotes in his hand vigorously. There were several thousand yuan in it, so there was absolutely no problem in spending it casually.

"Where are we going?" Jerry asked quickly.

He was a playful person by nature, but he was extremely poor and had no chance to play due to his busy work.

"Let's go to Zeus Hotel and have some fun! Let's experience the feeling of being the boss tonight, and it can also be considered a celebration!"

Naegi grinned.

The Zeus Hotel is also the most famous in Gotham City, and it is also one of the famous landmark buildings, second only to the Wayne Tower of the Wayne Group.

It is also a place that everyone yearns to go. For some people, being able to have a meal there is something they can brag about for the rest of their lives.

"By the way, please invite Oswald. We owe him a favor. I'll go call Otis. Is there anyone else?"

Sitting in the police car, Naegi had already made arrangements.

Jerry thought about it carefully and shook his head. They didn't have many friends, and these were the only ones they could talk to.

"That's good, let's go buy a suit! Buy the suit you like, I'll go find Otis, Zeus Hotel, 7pm!"

Miao Mu took out half of the bill and handed it to Jerry. Jerry grinned and said, "See you later!"

----

Police cars were driving recklessly through the Lower East Side with sirens blaring. Some people who were strolling on the street were so scared when they heard the sound of the police cars that they ran away.

"I'll pick you up tonight?"

Naegi shouted out from the car.

Jerry was holding two suits, waving his hands and shouting, "No need, if you have connections, find two girls to have fun with."

"Go away." Miaomu cursed with a smile and drove away.

There were two suits thrown on the back seat of the car.

Naegi took out a box of mint-flavored KOOL cigars from his arms, lit it with a lighter, smoked the cigarette, and drove towards the Arkham district.

The De Angelo sewage treatment plant where Rat Catcher Otis works is actually also in Arkham, and is near the Gotham River.

The police car with music playing stopped at the place where the homeless people had gathered before. Some homeless people who were still lying on the ground sleeping turned their heads and looked over when they heard the music.

The car door opened, and Naegi got out of the car carrying a suit in a packaging box, and put on a pair of sunglasses.

Things are different now, and this feeling is really irresistible.

Miaomu walked towards the sewer, looking at the homeless people around him along the way. There were a lot fewer people.

There are several thick sewage pipes inserted into the sewer entrance. There were originally iron railings outside, but they are gone now.

A big rat ran out of the sewer. It had light brown fur and looked different from the other rats.

"Bastien! Naegi..."

Otis ran out of the sewer, still wearing a rubber leather jacket for swimming, and looked at Naegi with some surprise and joy.

"Hello, Officer Naegi." Otis nodded with a smile.

"Just call me Naegi. Are you free tonight?"

"Tonight? I'm free. I don't have anything else to do. If you need my help, I'll do my best!"

"It's not that complicated. Thanks to you, we have become official police officers. I would like to treat you to a meal tonight. Don't refuse!"

Miao Mu picked up the suit box in his hand and handed it to Otis, "Tonight at 7 o'clock! Zeus Hotel in the Diamond District, see you there!"
