Meet the father-in-law [Comprehensive]

Elliott blinked at Hodge curiously: "Huh?"

The two were so close that Hodge could almost see his own reflection in Elied's blue eyes as deep as the deep sea.The three members of the Wayne family are not related by blood, but they all have black hair and blue eyes, a wonderful and interesting coincidence.

What's even more amazing than this is that Bruce obviously hates law enforcement agencies. One of his adopted son and adopted daughter is a policeman from the Bludhaven Police Department, and the other is simply an FBI agent. It really makes people laugh and cry.

Out of some impulse that the man himself didn't understand, Hodge wanted to ask Elide about the trial, but the moment he met those blue eyes, he suddenly gave up this idea.

Maybe all of this is just a coincidence, maybe all of this really has something to do with Elied.If it's the latter, asking rashly at this moment may cause some unexpected embarrassment... This is not Hodge's style.

"I'm just curious," Hodge finally chose a gentle and harmless topic, "Mr. Wayne hates law enforcement officers so much, and it turns out that Dick is a policeman, and you are even more of an FBI..."

"He's still the 'uneducated, inexperienced, unrepentant' playboy in the media's mouth," Elied complained without hesitation, and the way Bruce stabbed the knife can be described as hitting the nail on the head, "Besides, he doesn't have much say in our career choices. Believe it or not, the most vocal person in our family is Alfred, our butler, a very elegant, kind and old-fashioned English gentleman, a worthy fellow - Pennyworth was his surname .”

In fact, after Elide told Hodge who her adoptive father was, the bau team leader had already gotten to know the Wayne family well.According to reports and information, Mr. Pennyworth had already played for the Wayne family before Bruce's parents died.After the tragedy, he was also the guardian of Bruce Jr. In a sense, he was Bruce's adoptive father.

As far as Hodge knows, apart from his bad reputation in private life and wandering for a few years when he was young, Bruce has no heinous stains on his resume. He can even be regarded as a successful businessman!Mr. Pennyworth was able to cultivate Bruce, who had suffered like that, into what he is today... he is indeed a powerful person.

"Even if you only look at you and Dick, you can still imagine the appearance of that gentleman," Hodge admired sincerely. "As you said, he must be a very respectable and good man."

"You'll see him if you get a chance, and Alfred has no prejudice against the FBI. Believe me, his black tea and cookies are absolutely delicious in the world, and I'll bring some to the office next time!"

As soon as "Afu's afternoon tea" was mentioned, Ellie's face immediately showed a look of fascination and anticipation, which was quite different from her usual indifferent and guarded demeanor, with a bit of cunning and liveliness unique to young people. She looked about her age—she wasn't 25, after all, not much older than when Red first came to bau.

Looking at Elide like this, Hodge felt that his mood seemed to soften a bit, and he couldn't help but think of what Rossi said at the time: "You will draw power from her far beyond your imagination."

Whether this sentence is correct or not will not be mentioned for the time being, but Elied also has such a childish side... It is an unexpected new discovery.

As Dick said, this party gathered most of the carnival-loving men and women in Gotham City, and also attracted a lot of special people who came for money.

However, this is the party of "Baby Brussi" after all. The environment is good, the atmosphere is good, the DJ is awesome, and the people who shuttle back and forth are all handsome men and women. Garcia swears to God, this is definitely the most awesome party she has ever attended!

"Hey, look, how many girls is that today, four or five?"

Emily bumped into Garcia's glass with her empty cocktail glass, and winked at a distance not far away. Morgan, the hunk of their bau, was being approached by someone. They were two young, beautiful, hot chicks.

The blond haired one had already put his hand on Morgan's chest, and the black haired one was not to be outdone, and his whole body was about to hang on Morgan's body.

Garcia's relationship with Morgan is indeed so close that it is almost ambiguous, but at this time, she still prefers the option of watching a good show.After complaining a few words to Emily, she quickly changed the topic to another handsome guy.

"I didn't expect Dick to be Bruce's adopted son, a rich man! Look at his sexy figure and handsome face, and most importantly! He's still heterosexual! It's perfect!"

Garcia drank the rest of the wine in one gulp. Under the influence of alcohol, she was a little too excited.

"Dick will be back at any time." Emily also drank a little too much, and spoke with a bit of schadenfreude, "He treats you very well, don't ruin your image."

"Speaking of this, fortunately, Hodge reminded me several times before," Garcia patted his chest suddenly, and lowered his voice, "Yesterday morning, and that time just now, it's okay, or else It's embarrassing!"

Emily couldn't help laughing loudly when she saw Garcia writing cautiously and reading it as a furtive gesture.

"Hey, beauties, what are you talking about?" said Cao Cao, Dick had already held three glasses of cocktails and tried to squeeze through the crowd, "Here, your drinks."

They had already had several glasses of wine before, and this round Garcia and Emily ordered low-alcohol cocktails.Dick's is also low-alcohol, though, and seems to have always been.

Garcia squinted at the light blue liquid for a long time, and asked curiously, "Dick, how is your alcohol tolerance? It seems that the alcohol you ordered is not high in alcohol."

"I'm fine with drinking. As for the wine I ordered..." Dick said and shrugged. "It's probably a professional habit."

"Come on, handsome guy, you are laughing at us!" Emily immediately pushed him with a smile, "You are the police, we are the FBI!"

"Hey, don't reveal our identities so casually, a tiaozi won't have an affair on this occasion!"

"Oh? Don't you think Emily and I have let you down? Don't think I don't know how many girls are watching you over there, tsk tsk, they must be very angry, we actually occupied the most handsome audience The bachelor~" Garcia said, and even punched Dick with a bit of "anger".

"How can there be anything, I voluntarily! 100% swear to God!"

The drunkenness was slightly on the head, everyone was a little drunk, and the jokes became more and more unscrupulous.

Sitting at a table a few meters away from them were Hodge, Elliott, and Red. The three of them didn't drink much at the moment, but just chatted and took a sip from time to time.

Unlike the old Rossi, Hodge, who is one round younger than him, has no interest in parties. After drinking the first round with everyone, he sits and rests. As for the good baby Rhett in bau, he doesn't insist too much round.It wasn't long before Elide sat down. They were chatting about "mental patients and urban legends" which is very characteristic of Gotham, when the DJ's excited voice suddenly sounded at the scene.

"Hey! Friends! The most exciting moment of the evening is coming! We will be electing three candidates for the 'Black Moon Goddess'—"

The scene was immediately drowned out by screams and whistles.

"Do you want to choose the queen of the party?" Rhett couldn't help but sit up straight, and looked at Elide with wide eyes.

"'Brussie Baby' parties are always like this," Ellie replied loudly with a disdainful expression on her face.

There was no way, the dj suddenly played fast-paced music, and the scene was very noisy. Within two seconds, the lights in the entire venue were also turned off.Only three spotlights were still on in the venue, and the changing colors of the lights swept back and forth, sparking bursts of screams everywhere they went.

After making the atmosphere hot enough, the lights were turned off, and the scene was suddenly plunged into darkness. Only the faint moonlight penetrated the dark clouds in the sky, casting a faint silver glow on everyone.

At the moment when the three spotlights were turned on again, Reid couldn't help exclaiming:

"Hey, who is that person?"

And Elide, who was sitting beside him, had already slammed the wine glass onto the table with such force that it almost made people worry that the glass would be shattered into fine powder.

Among the three apertures, there were hot young beauties standing in two of them, but the one at the far end of the venue was a tall, thin man with a sickly smile.

He was wearing a dark green suit with silver and black question marks embroidered on the collar.

—It's the Riddler!
