My days as a landlord in Gotham
Chapter 30 This Tenant...Smart!
(Wu)
"Don't you think this room is more worthy of our exploration now?"
The man in black asked, "Where sharp claws and vampires can break their halberds, there must be the man's most important secret hidden there.
Believe me, Ah Fu, even if I can't discover his secret, I can still make sure I get out safely. "
After speaking, a black shadow disappeared around the corner.
"Here's the call you asked for, but you can only make one call, and it's only for 10 minutes."
After half an hour, Genevieve finally came to Li Lei with his phone.
Li Lei looked extremely tired and crazy in the interrogation room at this time, but Genevieve had discovered Li Lei's performance under Cary's guidance, so Genevieve did not sympathize with Li Lei's deliberately pretended appearance.
"I'll be waiting for you outside the door, and if you finish calling, you can knock on the door and let me know.
Well, your call time has now started. "
After watching Genevieve close the door and leave, Li Lei immediately called Hamada Hiroshi, "I don't know if this phone has been tapped, so you just listen to me and do what I say. "
Li Lei ordered, "Close the door, I don't think I may be able to go back tonight.
Take good care of Dr. Watson for me and apologize for my faux pas.
Finally, you make a phone call to Andre, tell him that I am being detained at the Gotham City District Attorney's Office, and ask him to come to the District Attorney's Office as soon as possible.
If he has any excuses, you warn him that if he doesn't show up to me within 30 minutes, I'll be bankrupt. "
After Li Lei finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and then he went to the door and knocked.
He handed the phone to Genevieve and said, "If it's convenient, please give me a bottle of mineral water.
In addition, I have another thing to remind you. I guess there are many people who want me to shut up forever. In order not to let me really have nothing to say in the future, I still hope that you will help me buy water and get water. Be extra careful. "
Li Lei's words made Genevieve immediately heightened his vigilance. Indeed, regardless of whether Li Lei was the murderer of Domoto Liaoichi or not, there are too many people who want Li Lei to shut up now.
Thinking of this, Genevieve didn't get water from the local prosecutor's office, but went to the convenience store opposite the local prosecutor's office to buy a few bottles of mineral water.
In order to ensure that the water was not tampered with, Genieve kept carrying the water back to the interrogation room.
Seeing Genevieve's cautious performance, Li Lei smiled and said, "I don't know your name yet, but thank you very much for protecting me so hard.
You gave me a modicum of faith in justice in Gotham. "
"If you are grateful, there is no need. This is my responsibility and obligation as a legal public official."
Genevieve replied, "However, I still want to remind you that since you clearly know that you are in danger, you should cooperate with us as soon as possible.
Once you are willing to testify, we can help you apply for the federal witness protection program, so that you can live with peace of mind from now on. "
"Do you think the federal witness protection program can really be implemented in Gotham?"
Li Lei asked rhetorically, "And if I remember correctly, just last month, the "New York Post" reported the current information of several witnesses who were once protected by the federal witness protection program.
In modern society, it is not possible to start again unless you have been isolated for many years.
And the most important one is 'Where did the New York Post get the current addresses of these people'?
If insiders deliberately leaked it, must you be able to hide it from those people in Gotham City?
Your offer is too unattractive, lady. "
Li Lei's words made Guinevey speechless. The Federal Witness Protection Program is a long-term protection policy for witnesses in vicious cases under the leadership of the Ministry of Justice.
Normally, this protection program is very effective, with a success rate of over 98% almost across the United States.
But the reason why it failed to reach or approach 100% is because of the special case of Gotham City.
In the early years, the Gotham District Attorney's Office did not fail to cooperate with law enforcement agencies such as the Department of Justice in an attempt to bring down the city's major crime families.
But those key witnesses who came forward to testify either died on the way to court, or retracted their confession in court, which is not good for the prosecution.
Occasionally, a few witnesses who were not afraid of death died on the way out of Gotham City after entering the federal witness protection program.
After there were more cases like this, no one dared to come forward to testify, which led to the growing underground forces in Gotham City, until now the black and white are colluding with each other.
Although Guinevey's sense of justice told her that she should refute Li Lei's words and continue to encourage Li Lei to testify.
However, Genevieve's many years of experience as a prosecutor still told her rationally that Li Lei's prudence and self-defense might be the best.
After watching Genevieve leave, Li Lei closed his mouth and fell silent again.
He knew Genevieve was a good prosecutor, which made him want to keep silent all the more.
You must know that the gang of underground forces in Gotham City will also attack the police and prosecutors if they are in a hurry. Their identities are not amulets to protect them.
Just as Li Lei was thinking about something, the lights in the room suddenly became dim, and the temperature dropped very quickly.
Such a sudden change made Li Lei suddenly alert. He quietly took out a glass flask and a sterling silver dagger from the system package.
This was one of the weapons against vampires that Brad sent, and Li Lei put it in his package at that time.
Although Li Lei's combat awareness could not be compared with those of the special forces, his physical combat effectiveness was no less than that of the elite soldiers.
Moreover, under Hamada Hiroshi's training, Li Lei was no longer the kind of ordinary person who was slaughtered by others.
Li Lei stabbed the dagger behind him, and at the same time rolled to the other side with the help of the desk.
At this time, a figure gradually emerged from the place that was originally empty.
He covered the wound on his left shoulder and looked at Li Lei angrily.
Foster never expected that Li Lei's melee combat ability would be as good as that of an ordinary vampire hunter, especially since he was already prepared for his sneak attack, and the dagger in Li Lei's hand was so familiar.
"That fellow Brad actually gave you this dagger?
He really values you! "
Foster said coldly.
Although he wanted to pounce on Li Lei to drain Li Lei's blood, the wound on his left shoulder made it very inconvenient for him to move.
Originally, for vampires, their self-healing ability is relatively strong.
However, the dagger Li Lei used was specially made by the Holy See to slay demons. It not only used Mithril, which vampires fear most, but also had been enshrined in front of the holy icon of the Holy See for more than a hundred years.
If it is a vampire below the general viscount, if this dagger is stabbed, most of the lives will be gone.
Foster also relied on his high cultivation to barely resist this blow.
But if Li Lei stabbed more accurately and directly stabbed Foster's heart, then he would be completely finished.
"Mr. Foster, I wonder what gust of wind brought you to the District Attorney's Office in Gotham City?
You really have no regard for face. "
Li Lei saw that his blow actually caused Foster to be injured, and his mouth began to be unforgiving.
Li Lei learned from Brad that with the continuous advancement of human technology, the magic race had to compromise with humans.
For example, the magic race will no longer slaughter or enslave humans wantonly; it will not expose its existence in human gathering areas; it will not attack important human institutions, etc.
The practice of sneaking to the local prosecutor's office to kill people like Foster is undoubtedly provoking human beings' tolerance for magical races.
"Damn kid, if that idiot Brad hadn't given you this dagger, would you have hurt me?"
Foster said viciously, "Don't think that you will be invincible just after stabbing me, with our current strength gap, I can tear your throat open at any time.
If someone hadn't told me to hand you over to him completely, you would be a dead body now!
No, not only will I suck your blood dry, but I will also turn your corpse into a corpse slave to be driven by others.
I can tell you that there are some special flavors in our world, who might be willing to buy you back into a corpse slave for some lustful pleasure. "
"Then you can try it."
Li Lei poured all the holy water in the flask on himself, "You can touch me."
"Ridiculous but fun trick."
Foster narrowed his eyes.
He knew that the holy water in Li Lei's hands was not something from ordinary churches, it was definitely a high-quality holy water provided by the Holy See.
This kind of holy water can cause fatal damage to himself, and now that Li Lei has poured the holy water all over his body, Foster can't touch Li Lei at all before Li Lei takes a bath and changes his clothes.
"Your luck is good tonight, but I think your luck ends here.
I hope you are still here tomorrow! "
Seeing Foster slowly disappearing away, Li Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He retracted the dagger and flask into the space, not worried about the monitors in the room at all.
If the monitor is still useful now, Foster would have scared a lot of people when he showed up just now.
However, Li Lei was a little puzzled by Foster's words just now. According to Ted, this dimension is now in the "Battle Royale Mode"
Then the relationship between the space holders should be immortal.
If he prevented the other party from directly killing him during the novice protection period, then the Foster he assigned should be able to kill him.
But now Foster said that the other party is more likely to see him in full, so Ted's statement has a big loophole.
Li Lei couldn't figure out what Ted was hiding from him. In short, he began to have great doubts about the system.
Batman looked at the inconspicuous apartment in front of him and doubted whether Ah Fu's information was accurate. He had already scanned the apartment with the advanced equipment on the Batmobile.
It is true that some security equipment is installed in the apartment, but this is the level of domestic security.
Not to mention the threat to claws and vampires, even thieves with slightly better means can't be prevented.
However, the information did show that the claws and the vampires missed here, and Ah Fu's source of information is still very reliable.
What exactly happened?
Maybe it's best to find out for yourself.
Thinking of this, Batman cut off the power to the entire block.
He took advantage of the darkness to touch the side of Li Lei's apartment, and began to observe the apartment closely.
Fortunately, Batman is a vigilante who believes in the law. He will not break into Li Lei's private territory until he catches any direct evidence that Li Lei endangers public safety.
But what Batman didn't expect was that it was his decision that didn't cause him to be caught by Li Lei as well.
"It seems that there is nothing special about this guy, but my intuition tells me that he doesn't seem to be that simple."
When leaving Li Lei's apartment, Batman couldn't help talking to himself.
And after Batman left, a man was rushing into the Gotham District Attorney's Office with his lawyer bag.
"Don't you think this room is more worthy of our exploration now?"
The man in black asked, "Where sharp claws and vampires can break their halberds, there must be the man's most important secret hidden there.
Believe me, Ah Fu, even if I can't discover his secret, I can still make sure I get out safely. "
After speaking, a black shadow disappeared around the corner.
"Here's the call you asked for, but you can only make one call, and it's only for 10 minutes."
