Chapter 43: New Job Invitation

In a small bar on the edge of the rich area in the south of Cat Getan City, Shiler squeezed a little lemon juice into the mixed gin. He picked up the cup and said to Gedeng, "Congratulations, detective, now at least you can act according to your own wishes."

Bulusi opposite the round table also raised his wine glass. After Harvey picked up the wine glass, he said, "It is indeed worth celebrating. You are the most upright police officer I have ever seen."

The four people touched their glasses. Gedeng drank a sip of wine. His face was a little red, not knowing if it was excitement or the effect of alcohol. He said, "The more this is the case, the more I know I am still far behind."

Bulusi said, "Having progress is always good."

Shiler smiled. He blocked his mouth with a wine glass and then said, "Is it? It seems our recent innocent little boy has made great progress?"

Bulusi put down the wine glass and said, "I remember you once said, Professor, that you have no advice for my personal emotional life."

"But I also reminded you, it's best to be careful with your kidneys. I mean to protect your kidneys, not just don't let it get a knife. The scenery on Trick Street is indeed good, the neon lights there are famous all over the East Coast..."

Gedeng's eyes turned back and forth between the two of them, then raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of riddle are you guys playing?"

"Nothing, it's just that I advise you to mind your own business less in the future. Some people have great confidence in their kidney function."

Gedeng understood this. He said, "It seems Bulusi's emotional life has been very rich recently."

Shiler put down the wine glass and said with a smile, "On the contrary."

Harvey knew some inside information. He bumped Bulusi with his arm and said, "It seems you and the girl you mentioned have progressed very quickly. How is it? Have you confirmed the relationship?"

Gedeng immediately pricked up his ears. Bulusi touched his temple, looking at the expressions of the three people who were watching the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal. He said, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, what does this have to do with anything? That's my private matter. The theme of our gathering today is to celebrate Gedeng's promotion."

"I think the position of group leader in the Cat Getan Police Department is not worth celebrating as much as our world's richest man having a new girlfriend," Gedeng said.

"That's still a bit exaggerated. After all, the world's richest man has too many girlfriends," Shiler said.

"But the group leader of the police station is the same as an ordinary police officer, it's useless," Gedeng said self-deprecatingly.

Bulusi was made very helpless by them. He said, "Alright, I admit, it is like this, I fell in love with a girl... No, not that kind of liking, not because of her beautiful face and figure... Oh, she is of course very beautiful, and her figure is also great, but not..."

Gedeng and Harvey were both in a look of you don't need to explain. Harvey also said, "At your age, I fell in love with any girl, and I felt it wasn't because of their appearance, but I know now that this sentence is farting. All men in the world saying this sentence are farting."

Gedeng pulled his tie and said, "Could it be that there really is a girl who made Bulusi move his true heart? Then I would really like to see who he is."

Bulusi said, "She is actually not special, just a girl from the slums, like all ordinary girls, likes shiny gems and jewelry, and her dream is to have a castle piled up with gems."

"Do you prefer German or French castles?" Shiler asked, "I think Neuschwanstein Castle is not bad, how about buying it?"

Bulusi couldn't bear it and flicked the wine glass. He said, "I'm not picking her up! I'm serious, you guys don't look at me like this. I admit I was a little... alright, not a little... but I really plan to get..."

"You are not facing her now, you don't have to say these beautiful words."

Shiler hurriedly interrupted Bulusi's flag. Who can say this sentence?

But actually it doesn't matter, anyway, Batman is the protagonist. If the protagonist says this sentence, there should be no major problem.

Bulusi drank a sip of wine. He was rarely a little excited. He said, "We have indeed confirmed the relationship, and have been dating for several nights in a row. She gave me a very beautiful gem."

"What about you? Didn't you give her anything?" Harvey asked.

Bulusi said, "I am thinking."

"This is a bit rude," Harvey said, "Could it be that you look down on her slum background? But to be honest, not everyone is as lucky as you. I think at least for you, class cannot block love..."

"Of course I don't think so."

"The problem is, if you don't quickly send her a gift to prove your heart, then she might think so," Shiler said. "Any girl from the slums dating the world's richest man probably won't have much confidence."

"Alright," Bulusi said, "What do you guys say I should give her? I thought for a long time and couldn't think of it."

Harvey didn't know Catwoman's true identity, because he didn't know Bulusi was Batman, and didn't know the story between them.

But Shiler knew this clearly.

Shiler said, "How about a string of pearl necklaces?"

Bulusi's hand holding the wine glass tightened. He drank a sip of wine and said, "I have to admit, I don't like pearl necklaces very much, but if she likes it, then I will definitely give her the best one."

After the gathering, Shiler returned to his apartment to clean up, except for the smell of alcohol.

There is a reason why Shiler shuttles between DC and Marvel. After coming to DC, on the one hand, he wanted to wait for the plot of Marvel to go by itself, and on the other hand, he also had to finish the things here on time.

He is a still cautious person, and he hopes that everything has a beginning and an end. Although the old principal didn't enter prison, it was somewhat beyond his expectation, but his purpose of coming back was to clear up the aftermath left by the last Jonathan case.

The old principal is now Batman's target. Shiler doesn't plan to intervene for the time being, but there is still one person, and that is the missing Director Victor.

Shiler knew that it should be Sal Ma Luoni who kidnapped him. Although this is the case, Ma Luoni might not want his life. A former police chief can dig out a lot of useful information from his mouth. Ma Luoni's loss is so huge that he won't let Victor die easily, unless he can get his money back.

But Shiler must kill Victor.

In the early stage of the Jonathan case, his ability was not enough. When stealing fear gas, he only used the simplest method, which was burglary. But at that time, he couldn't do it completely without traces. Although he cleared 99% of the traces, he still had to strangle the 1% possibility of being discovered.

Victor had entered the evidence room more than once in order to overturn the case for Jonathan. This old policeman was the only person who could expose Shiler's theft of fear gas.

You know, after Jonathan entered the mental hospital, the most traditional version of fear gas concentrate had already gone out of print. But because of Ma Luoni's huge loss, many people in the gang were eyeing this weapon. Once someone exposed who stole the fear gas, that group of gangs would swarm like sharks smelling meat.

Shiler originally planned to visit Ma Luoni, but before that, an unexpected person came to him.

Shiler got into the car with a man in black. A man in a suit sitting in front said, "Professor Shiler, you don't have to be afraid. The Godfather invited you over, just because he needs your help."

The stretched luxury car soon arrived at a manor not far from the South District. Shiler walked in with the guide. The decoration of this manor was very old-fashioned. After he went in, he went to the third floor. The person who led the way knocked on the door, and a thick voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Shiler walked in. He saw a tall man, or an old man. His hair was silver-gray, wearing a quite decent suit, wearing a bow tie, and a red poppy on the pocket of his chest, having a momentum of not being angry and self-prestige.

He touched the ring on his hand and said to Shiler, "Professor Rodriguez, very presumptuously disturbing you, I invited you here because there is something that needs your help."

"I am honored to serve you, Lord Falcone."

Shiler walked over and was separated from Falcone by a table. Behind him was a floor-to-ceiling window, and there were two black-clothed bodyguards standing on both sides.

Falcone didn't say anything. He nodded and then said directly: out his own request: "I have a son, he is not small this year, my family and career need him to inherit, I hope to hire you to be his family tutor."

Before Shiler could ask questions, Falcone said, "His previous family tutor was shot three times in the chest and didn't survive. I heard people say that you can even make Bulusi Wei En hand in homework on time, so you should be a good teacher candidate."

"Of course, I am not threatening you. I know you have caused a little trouble in Metropolis, and some people followed the smell to find here, but now they should all be in the sewer."

"This is my sincerity, how about it?"

Shiler looked at Falcone. He was more like the shaping of this gang leader in the early DC comics. Falcone's inspiration came from Corleone in The Godfather, which was the role shaped by Marlon Brando.

Now it seems that compared to the image of Falcone wearing a jacket and wearing strange sunglasses shown in movies and TV series, this old man is indeed more like a family godfather who rules the huge gang forces in Cat Getan.

"Can, but I have another request."

"The previous police chief disappeared..." Shiler said.

"Do you want to find him?"

"No, I want to kill him."

Falcone sat down. He took a cigar handed to him by the person next to him, took a puff, exhaled smoke, and said slowly "Victor... I know him, a little old liar with a little cleverness, what hatred do you have with him?"

"I think, in Cat Getan, it's not that you have hatred to kill."

Falcone held the cigar and smiled, saying, "It seems you will indeed be a good teacher." ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
