Chapter 419: Metropolis Doubt (5)

"Mayor White was shot and the gun shot him in the head and threw him from above the patio."

In the banquet hall, everyone was brought to the wall by the agents and stood in a row. Only Benjamin stood in the center of the hall, broadcasting the cause of Mayor White's death in a somewhat indifferent tone.

He said a lot of what was obvious to everyone, so there was a little impatience on everyone's faces, but worse news was waiting for them.

"I just received an order from my superiors. In order to prevent the same large-scale espionage assassination from happening again, it is necessary for me to ensure the safety of all important people on the East Coast."

"From now on, everyone is not allowed to leave the mayor's mansion, and there will be agents who will arrange for you to enter different rooms to rest..."

The crowd was in an uproar, but just when they wanted to scold Benjamin for being daring, his next words poured on everyone's heads like a basin of cold water.

"I think you've all heard about the recent uproar over Philby's body on the radio, and you might think the critics are lying when they say there's a bigger conspiracy behind it, but I can tell you that it wasn't. in this way."

"Kim Philby, a Soviet spy lurking in MI6 and holding a high position, left an important list of Soviet spies lurking in European and American intelligence networks before his death. We call it 'Philby' list'."

"According to reliable informants, this list was handed over by Philby to a mysterious agent who had been in contact with him on a single line, and in the course of years of investigation, it was found that all kinds of clues pointed to the east coast of the United States."

The boiling discussions on the field gradually quieted down, and everyone knew that in this period, once this issue was involved, anyone could be the target, no matter how much wealth, status and fame he had.

Benjamin's eyes swept across the field. His gaze was extremely oppressive, and no one wanted to look at him. He continued:

"In recent years, the frequent murder of spies in major cities on the east coast is not an accident. Federal authorities have discovered that there is indeed a mysterious spy intelligence network here, and the person who organized and built this intelligence network is very likely to have taken the The mysterious agent on the Philby list."

"Here, I must inform everyone with regret..." Benjamin's voice became colder and colder, his tone became lower and lower, as if he was reading a death notice, he said: "According to our years of investigation, The mysterious agent is likely to be in a high position, which means that he is likely to be one of you."

"Sorry, everyone, but what I want to say is that you are all suspicious, so you must stay and cooperate with the investigation."

"So, are you going to lock us up and then interrogate us?" Bruce said coldly with his arms crossed: "Do you know that I have two parties to go tomorrow night, and I have to go to the ball game the day after tomorrow... …”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, but this is an order from the superiors, and I can't disobey." Benjamin's tone to Bruce was still polite, or in other words, he also had something to say about the real behemoths such as the Luther Group and the Wayne Group. fear.

Although he also knew in his heart that Bruce Wayne was unlikely to be a spy, the news that the president was a spy was more convincing than the news that the Wayne family heir was a spy.

Bruce looked very irritable, and his attitude made the rest of the people feel a little bit anxious. They all knew that whether it was the CIA or the FBI, there was no good way to take the Wayne Group. If Bruce can stand up, Maybe they won't have to be locked up here.

At this moment, Laonnell stood up, he still kept that smile, and then said: "Everyone calm down, Mayor White has just been killed, no one knows if it was a spy's hand... "

"We're all gathered here, and when there are agents, the spies don't dare to make a second case in a short period of time, but if everyone spreads out and takes their own vehicles to go home, no one will know. , will the murderer pick the one who was singled out?"

"Everyone has made a lot of efforts to achieve today's status and reputation. If all this comes to nothing because of some careless ways of doing things, it will not only be a tragedy for you, but also for the east coast cities and It's also a loss for the entire Federation..."

Lai Onnell strode to the center of the venue, then looked at Benjamin, and said, "I think the head of the agent will assure us that we will never violate our privacy rights and will try his best to protect our safety. Right?"

Benjamin crossed his arms and said, "I've said it all, this is not a mandatory review, it's just a means of closure during a special period. There are sufficient supplies in the mayor's mansion, just spend tonight and wait until the results of all external investigations are confirmed. , you are free to leave."

Hearing that there was only one night, many people softened their attitudes a little, and then La Onnell asked Benjamin again: "We won't be locked in the room, right? As long as we don't leave the mayor's mansion, where are we going? They should all be free, right?"

Benjamin didn't answer, just nodded, and then said angrily, "You'd better not walk around. If there is a spy among you, he will attack the single person, and we will not be able to protect you personally."

"You mean, that spy will still attack us???"

"Then what are we going to do?? If he rushes into my room and shoots me, how can I escape??"

"Aren't you the FBI? I pay so much tax every year, why aren't you responsible for keeping us safe?!"

It was Bruce who interrupted the group to question and complain. He waved his hand impatiently, turned to go up the stairs, and said, "Waiter, bring me some wine, a night without wine is really bad. downright……"

After he finished speaking, he hugged Selena's waist and walked up the stairs. Selena also smiled and came close to his face, as if teasing him.

People around him have long been accustomed to his absurd behavior and words, and everyone knows that little Wayne is an ignorant playboy.

Besides, Bruce is only 19 years old this year. You can't expect a 19-year-old child to be unwarranted and cautious. Those people who are ready to make a move see Bruce's drunken attitude and sigh helplessly in their hearts, and they are envious. Jealousy again.

After Bruce left, many people followed him upstairs. These people basically had no support. Knowing that they could not resist these agents, they went upstairs to sleep.

After most of the people went upstairs, Schiller also followed the crowd. A female agent led the way. On the way to the room, she kept trying to talk to Schiller.

"The Star Wants To Retire"

"I guess, you should assign a separate agent to each of you to get close, and then ask for information. What do you want to ask?" Schiller said to the female agent straight to the point.

"You can call me Kayla, you don't seem to be very disgusted with the agents, have you ever dealt with us?"

"Of course, many of the cases I've been involved in have had FBI agents involved in the detection work, and I've worked with them."

The female agent named Kayla looked a little unnatural. She said, "Yes, sometimes we are also responsible for solving some difficult cases."

"To be honest, your colleagues didn't take you seriously when they checked the case. They won't circle around the corpse. They will only report a record book and ask questions next to them. Only when they apply for a search warrant, or carry out It's useful during forced searches."

Kayla pursed her lips and said, "It's the nature of our work."

"But it can't hide the fact that your investigation level is very poor. The investigation efficiency is low, there are too many red tapes, and some people have many bad habits and are used to killing time..."

Kayla responded perfunctorily. She listened to Schiller scolding the FBI agents all the way, but she couldn't find a chance to interject.

When opening the door of the guest room, Schiller entered the door, but instead of closing the door, he said to Kayla, "Miss Kayla, it can be seen that you have not been in the CIA for a long time..."

"I... what? I'm the FBI!"

"Really? If you were really an FBI agent, when I said 'your detective skills are like shit', you should have pulled your gun out and pointed it at my head. already."

Kayla glared at Schiller, Schiller smiled and said, "You probably haven't experienced the benefits of having law enforcement power within the federal territory, so you can't learn their arrogance."

"Anyway, thank you for sending me here. If you have any questions or troubles to solve, I welcome you to come to me here, but for now, good night."

After saying that, the door slammed shut. Kayla stared at the door for a while, and just as she turned to leave, the door opened with a creak. Kayla looked back and saw Xi Le put a piece of paper on the door that said "Do Not Disturb".

"I was just polite, don't get me wrong." After Schiller finished, the door closed again.

On the other side, in Bruce's room, there were people talking and laughing just now. As soon as the two entered the room, after a moment's pause, they began to rummage in the room in a very tacit understanding.

"The quality of the sheets is good enough for us to go down to the first floor." Selena said as she lifted the pillow and quilt and pulled the sheets down.

Bruce took a razor from the bathroom attached to the master bedroom and said: "I can take a part out of it and use it to pick the lock, after all, if you open the door, it's easy to find."

After speaking, he walked to the window and looked down, saying: "They seem to have arranged some dangerous people to the top, including Professor Schiller, they may think that we are not a threat~www.readwn.com~ So they only arrange us On the fourth floor..."

Selena twisted the sheets into a rope and said, "We have to get the equipment, but you can't wear a battle suit when you come back, otherwise it will be too obvious."

"Of course I know that I don't plan to turn this place into a arena. On the contrary, I want to see what they want to do." Bruce squinted and looked at the agents patrolling the yard.

After a while, after Selena was done, she also came to the balcony, looked left and right at the patrol route of the agents, and said with a bit of doubt: "Where are the agents from? Why do I think they are not as good as Gotham's? Gangster?"

"Look, there's a patrol dead spot there, next to the flower bed... If I climb up the pine tree and jump down, they won't find it."

"And there, the time when the two turned around was so close that I could even rush over there..."

Selena frowned and said with disgust: "The famous gang bosses in the East District would never set up such a loopy patrol route, otherwise, their manor would have been stolen by me long ago."

Bruce sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, Selena turned around and said, "The plan has changed. They are too amateur. You don't have to go out. I'll just help you get the equipment back."

Bruce opened his mouth, it was the first time he heard someone want to help him solve everything in action, but Selena waved his hand nonchalantly, Bruce thought for a while, or said, "Okay, the key to the helicopter is exist……"

Selena turned her head and smiled sweetly at Bruce, then waved her right hand and picked her fingertips. A key with a clasp appeared on her fingertips. She said:

"It's here with me...and your heart."
