[Comprehensive British and American] The life of the villain and the body of the hero

The Winter Soldier's appearance and temper are not suitable for any work dealing with people, so the only one who detects intelligence on the surface is Ouroboros.This funny little snake has an extremely handsome appearance, and a sweet mouth that tells lies without drafting.While the Winter Soldier roamed the dark streets of Gotham, holding suspicious insiders in the quagmire for interrogation, Ouroboros roamed the bars, underground casinos and clubs, flirting and charmingly chatting up anyone.

Elle Greenaway met Ouroboros in one of Gotham's most popular bars.Of course, when Ouroboros announced his name, it was Anthony... No, he didn't mean to be sarcastic about Tony, well, probably not.

Ellie is an out-and-out black-haired ice beauty. She has the wild and beautiful appearance of a half-race, but her face has a cold and repulsive expression all year round.Everyone in BAU who is familiar with her naturally knows that this is just Ellie's protective color. As an FBI agent who is proficient in crimes involving women and children, her heart is very soft, especially for women and children.

However, her supervisor, Agent Hodge, had mentioned to her that her general hostility towards men had gone too far.

How did Allie respond?She remembered her answering: "In this society, men have always been in a strong position. They play the role of rulers and perpetrators in every corner of society and family. Yes, even if they don't realize it. But this is In fact, this is the privilege that history and human society have given them for a long time."

"And I just do my best to protect the weak from those who do violence."

Ally didn't just say that, she did it.For example, tonight, she put down the wine glass in her hand, walked up to a lonely and half-drunk woman with a cold face, stared coldly at the men with malicious intentions, and tried to drive away these gangsters.

But the guys were obviously drunk, and Gotham folks...you get the idea.

Ellie slapped the two pig hands away, and then unceremoniously fought with several men.She also grew up in Gotham, and she is absolutely second to none in terms of toughness.Who is afraid of whom?What's more, she has also received professional fighting training from the FBI, and has captured countless criminals and perverts.

It's just that in the middle of the fight, an extremely handsome man came to help.Bar fights are very common, almost every day and every night. Don't you even blink if you don't see the bartender?On the contrary, seeing injustice in the road is a strange thing in Gotham.

The man and Ellie cleaned up the shabby bastards, and Ellie brushed her wet black hair behind her ears.He glanced at the man coldly and said politely, "Thank you."

"It's okay, it's just convenient. My name is Anthony." The man extended his hand friendly.

"Ai Li. Are you an outsider? I'll give you a piece of advice, stay out of your way in Gotham." Ai Li's tone was still cold, but this sentence was a sincere admonition.

Anthony understood, and the smile on his face became more obvious: "Are you a local?"

"I grew up in Gotham, and then I left here to work in the capital. I only come back to visit my relatives occasionally." Ellie replied.

"You look like a cop, honestly," Anthony said, blinking his pretty green eyes.

Ellie raised her eyebrows, but she smiled for the first time: "So obvious? Your observation skills are not bad... What are you doing in Gotham? Don't tell me it's a tourist! There are always so many people who come to Gotham to pay their respects to the Batcave every year." The restored site and Batman Museum."

Anthony opened his mouth in surprise, and asked, "There's also a Batman museum here? I thought Batman wasn't the kind of... well, you know, someone who likes others to build him a former residence or a museum."

Ellie shrugged her shoulders, and finally couldn't help laughing: "No way, who told him not to stand up and object? Besides, the Gotham City Government was very keen on this matter at the beginning, who knows what's going on behind the scenes?"

"What you said actually made me interested in going to that museum."

"Where did you live before?"

"New York, I'm a writer. I don't know if you have read my book? "Twilight on Lake Baikal"?"

"Wait, you wrote that book? You must be kidding me! By the way, you live in New York, haven't you been to Captain America's museum? What do you think of it? Actually, the Batman Museum is just like that." Ai Li also gradually relaxed during the chat, and even the contours of her face softened a lot.

Anthony ordered two more glasses of wine for the two of them. After thanking Ellie, she took a sip and asked, "So what are you doing in Gotham? Let me guess, writing materials?"

"No, I'm here to find someone." Anthony shook his head and smiled bitterly: "A friend of mine...his sister was rebellious in adolescence and ran away from home. Before the girl left, she told her friend that she was going to Gotham, and then never There's audio."

Ellie frowned: "Are you sure she really came to Gotham? How old is she?"

"15 years old, just three months after my birthday. My friend called the police, but the police couldn't do anything about it. Later, I asked someone to ask again, and they all said that Gotham...even the FBI can't do anything about it." Anthony continued After taking a sip of wine, he sighed and said, "My friend couldn't wait any longer, so he planned to find it by himself, but we don't know where to start."

"So you hang out in the bar just to find out the news?" Ellie said clearly, she seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then slowly said: "Things in Gotham are very complicated, a teenage girl from outside is here Staying one more day is more dangerous. Your friend heard the news that it is very difficult for external forces to work inside Gotham, and it is indeed useless even by the FBI."

Hearing this, Anthony's expression became gloomy. His beautiful and slender fingers turned the glass, projecting bright and clean highlights.

"However, I really need to find someone. There are only two ways to go in Gotham." Ellie's words rekindled Anthony's hope, "Take the white road and go to the Gotham Police Department for help. Concerned about cases involving children. But you know, the GCPD is busy . . . and limited.”

"What about the other way?"

"Go underworld, as an FBI, I absolutely don't support you doing this. But the rules of survival in Gotham are different from other places. People here don't have many choices." When Ellie said this, her expression was a little indifferent.

"Anyone with gangsters? But..."

"No, gangs are divided. For example, some gangs mainly rely on drug trafficking, while others run casinos and clubs. Of course, predators are involved in every industry, but there can only be one main business. Decades ago, Penguin Ren is the number one intelligence dealer in Gotham. After his death, his subordinates continued this business. Now the most famous one is Ratty from the East Side." Ellie pursed her lips before sighing and said: " I can only help here."

She got up and picked up her coat, then turned her head and said, "It's better to go to Director Gordon first, it's not a last resort... If you really decide to go to Ratty, follow the rules. Even if the business can't be done, he won't send you guys away." How about it."

The advantage of Penguin's subordinates being in the same line as Penguin is that at least they have the credit of doing business.

"Ellie, thank you."

"You don't need to thank me, leave Gotham as soon as you find the girl." Ellie's eyes turned twice on Anthony's face, and the more she looked at it, the doubts in her heart became heavier: Why did she find this face so familiar?

When she left the bar and walked towards her home, Ellie suddenly remembered where she had seen this person.To be precise, she had seen this photo - when Rhett was moving things, he accidentally fell out for everyone to see.

Rhett said this was his best friend when he was a child, what's his name... Anyway, it doesn't seem to be called Anthony... It seems to be called... James?Yes, she remembered, the man's name was James Layton.

For a while, the little doctor chanted the name with red eyes every day when he was free. When JJ asked Reid, the latter said that his best friend joined the army and died on the battlefield.It seemed to be so miserable that not even a complete body was left.

Wait, what's going on here?Shall I call and ask Rhett?

By the time Ouroboros returned to his temporary foothold, the Winter Soldier had already returned.

There was a piece of crumpled paper on the table, the handwriting on it was very scribbled, and it was very blurred with blood.Ouroboros picked it up and looked at it for a while before recognizing that it was a note giving orders, and the final title was "LM".

"The target's handwriting?" Ouroboros asked.

The Winter Soldier nodded expressionlessly, took out a can of milk from the refrigerator, opened the package and poured it directly into his mouth, looking thirsty.

Ouroboros sighed, and said helplessly, "Can't you drink it after warming it up? Iced milk will make your stomach hurt."

"No." The Winter Soldier replied simply, and poured down his head again.

"...Leave it alone, I'll warm it up for you." As soon as Ouroboros finished speaking, the Winter Soldier immediately stopped drinking, and quickly put the milk box in front of Ouroboros, his eyes filled with anticipation. They looked over together like this.

Ouroboros rubbed his temples, took the box and walked to the simple stove, lit a small fire, and put the milk into the small pot to heat up.Stirring the milky liquid with a metal spoon, he said, "Today I met an interesting woman."

The Winter Soldier's ears moved, but he didn't look back.

"She has the air of a policeman, but she despises the law. No, it's not a black policeman. I can tell that she abides by the rules and bottom line in her heart." Ouroboros said slowly: "Of course, it may be because she is Gotham people. But you see, not every ordinary Gotham person knows about the information dealer Ratty, she has been away from her hometown for so long but she knows so well."

"Maybe she has mobsters in her family." The Winter Soldier commented briefly.

The milk started to roll and bubble, and Ouroboros took the pot away immediately. Milk is a troublesome thing to heat up. Once you see a little sign of boiling, you have to leave the open flame, because its boiling reaction is slow but violent.It will overflow a little later.

Ouroboros poured hot milk into the cup, added two more cubes of sugar, and put it on the table: "Be careful of getting hot, drink it later... It's useless to hold it with metal hands, don't you have it?" Metal mouth?"

"What do you think is the most interesting?" Ouroboros poured himself a glass, and then sat at the table, looking at the Winter Soldier who was blowing milk like a child, he couldn't help but smile and said: " The most interesting thing is that when she mentioned Batman's objection to building a museum, she said, "Who told him not to stand up against it?" The subtext of this sentence is: it's not that Batman is dead and can't object, but that he is alive Not willing to speak out against it. But the museum started after the fire.”

The Winter Soldier took a sip of milk cautiously, but was almost scalded. He said indifferently, "Batman is not the target."

"I'll put some iced milk into it for you." Ouroboros reached for the milk box and said while pouring milk for the Winter Soldier, "I know, that's why I said that woman is interesting, but it's still important."

"Tomorrow night we'll go find that Lettie."
