[Zhongyingmei] Vampires also want to fall in love

As Warlock expected, when he arrived at the municipal building, Gordon and Bullock from the police station were already waiting outside.The two of them each held a can of coffee to refresh themselves, and they could tell from the thick dark circles under their eyes that they hadn't slept all night.

The clerk who acted as the interim secretary hastily explained: "Your main job today is to review the arrangements for the inauguration ceremony, meet with the officials in charge of various departments, and also participate in two large meetings, respectively about the reconstruction plan of the municipal building and the government Meetings for temporary staff recruitment."

"Around five o'clock in the morning, the police station reported a weird case that happened in Gotham. The police station sent Captain Gordon and Deputy Captain Bullock to report the situation to you. According to the urgency of the matter, they hope to see you as soon as possible."

Warlock sat at his desk and casually flipped through the documents on the table. The way the documents were stacked was his usual officialdom rules. The second most important things were placed on top, the most important things were placed second, and the third was the most important. After the bit, the weight is relatively light.

In fact, the few things on the schedule mentioned by the clerk are insignificant things in Warlock's view. These things that can be finalized in minutes will take the former mayor a day, which may not be enough time. It can be seen that before How incompetent the mayor of Gotham is, or his heart is not at all building Gotham.

"Let Gordon and Bullock come in and put everything else off until an hour later."

Before Gordon and Brock came in, they looked tired, but immediately cheered up after entering Warlock's office.Gordon took a deep breath, and put the documents and reports on the desk in front of Warlock. Gordon also attended the banquet welcoming the acting mayor yesterday, but he was very quiet at the banquet, and he only said hello to Warlock. I don't have a chance to talk to him again, and I don't know what kind of person this acting mayor is.

He had already figured out the context of the previous mayor. He was also an out-and-out Gotham man. Sitting in the position of mayor, he only wanted to benefit himself, as long as he knew everything the police station did. If they can add a lot of merit to his resume, he won't cause trouble to the police station, and it's safe to get along with him.Now that there is a new mayor, he is not sure how to get along with the young acting mayor.

"For nearly half a month, Gotham has been receiving reports of missing women. The police station dispatched a task force to investigate and found that their common feature is that they work overtime for several days until late at night, and then disappear when they go home alone."

There are many documents sent by Gordon, the top one is the investigation report of the missing woman.What Warlock wanted to see was pressed at the bottom, but he couldn't show a clear purpose and directly read the part about the "monster", so he could only read it slowly.

"Most places in Gotham are monitored. I believe that any sane woman would choose the well-lit and monitored road. There is no record of their last location here." Warlock went through it quickly and bluntly asked, "And according to Gotham's report, the number of people missing in Gotham every year is not a small number. You must not come here in such a hurry because of the disappearance of women."

Bullock was a little nervous and took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat. He did not approve of the director and Gordon reporting the monsters in Gotham to the acting mayor. It would appear that the Gotham Police Department was incompetent. Gotham's monsters will be reported later, and both sides are happy, but it's a pity that the director and Gordon don't agree with his point of view.

"Yes, the case of the missing woman is only the most superficial layer. We made new progress in our investigation last night." Gordon took a deep breath, "Mayor Dowling, what do you think about human experiments?"

Warlock raised his eyebrows thoughtfully: "You mean there are criminals abducting women for human experiments?"

"We always thought that the victims were all women, but in yesterday's operation we found that many men were also persecuted. Their bodies have undergone strange changes, they will transform into monsters at night, and they will spread toxin transformation through their teeth and nails More people, they will assimilate the males and take the females away."

"Yesterday we caught more than 20 monsters. They all returned to human form when the sun rose. The only problem is that they have no memory of night at all."

Warlock finally found what he wanted to see. The forensic doctor of the police station tested the blood of these monsters. Science and magic are completely irrelevant things, and they can get very little effective information.

"So do you have any ideas now? We need to solve this matter as soon as possible. The longer the delay, the greater the impact. What do you plan to do with those monsters?" Warlock tapped on the table lightly, with serious eyes .

"We want to apply for a special period curfew." Gordon said the purpose of their trip, "These monsters only appear at night, we want to ensure that no more people are assimilated."

"The curfew is a good idea, but how many people do you think will abide by it?" Warlock looked at Gordon and Bullock with a half-smile.

Everyone present understood how weak the Gotham government's control over Gotham was, and those members of the Communist Party who were operating in the dark would not care about bans and laws.The curfew imposed by the Gotham City Hall can only restrict ordinary people, but cannot restrain gangsters and desperadoes.

Gordon hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "At least we want to minimize the risk, and it is good to reduce one victim."

Warlock readily signed his name on the application submitted by the police station: "Then, I hope you can resolve this crisis as soon as possible."

The clerk sent Gordon and Bullock to the door before returning to report the situation to Warlock: "The meeting on the reconstruction of the city government building has started for 10 minutes according to the scheduled time, and relevant people are waiting for you in the meeting room."

"The main participants in this Yiqiao meeting are officials from the Gotham City Management and Construction Bureau and several funders, Oswald Coppert from the Coppert family, Bruce Wayne from the Wayne family, and Filipino from the Phoenix Group. President Walter Ken..."

While the clerk was talking about the name of the sponsor, he handed the coat to Warlock graciously.He said that the members attending the meeting almost included more than two-thirds of the senior figures of the Gotham enterprises, which made it difficult for Warlock not to think too much.

These corporate executives who usually let others wait for them sit quietly in the conference room, only occasionally exchanging a few words in a low voice, and the most eye-catching one is Bruce Wayne.He was drowsy on the back of his chair, looking as if he had come to a meeting without taking a break after a big fight.

"I'm really sorry to keep you waiting." Warlock naturally sat down at the head of the conference room, "I hope you understand that I was a little busy when I first came into contact with Gotham affairs. There are too many differences between here and New York. .”

"This is not a big problem. After all, you are also trying to make Gotham better." The boss of a small company flattered him. The city government has always been generous.

Bruce Wayne was quarreled, he looked sleepily at Warlock on the main seat, and took out a check from his arms.

"Has Mayor Dowling come? I brought a check. Tell me directly how much sponsorship you need. Wayne Group is willing to do its best to provide support."

The smiles of several group executives who were polite to Warlock suddenly froze on their faces, but those small bosses who wanted to undertake the reconstruction project looked even more excited.

According to the usual practice, the funds for projects such as the municipal government building are jointly borne by the municipal government and people from all walks of life, and then handed over to small companies to undertake the engineering tasks.This is a tacit transaction. The city government provides shelter and support for companies in Gotham, and companies donate money to the city government. Only part of the money handled will go to those small companies, and the rest goes without saying. This is considered a business. A "gift" to the acting mayor.

Now Bruce Wayne broke the process all of a sudden, as if the acting mayor was asking Gotham's big business for "protection money", unspeakable embarrassment and silence spread in the conference room.

Bruce looked completely out of the situation, looking at Warlock in confusion, as if he was really waiting for Warlock to say a number.

"Mr. Wayne, thank you very much for your kindness." Warlock smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I think Gotham City's tax revenue is still enough to repair the city hall."

Oswald only felt that the atmosphere in the meeting room made him uncomfortable, twisted his body and took out a document from his briefcase: "The Copperpot family has little experience in city construction, but I personally have a good understanding of the building. There are some new ideas for the reconstruction, maybe we can take this opportunity to make the City Hall a landmark building in Gotham City."

Warlock opened the document handed in by Oswald, which contained a blueprint of the building, full of Oswald's whimsy, and then turned a page to find a thin check and a dark blue invitation .

The high-level officials of several large companies in Gotham also put documents like bidding documents in front of Warlock, and praised Oswald for his flexible mind. It is a good idea to build the city hall into a landmark building.

Bruce Wayne looked aggrieved with a pen in one hand and a check in the other. Seeing that Warlock ignored him again, he silently put away the checkbook.

"It's not a good idea to build a landmark building. The more attention-grabbing the place, the less safe it is." Bruce shrugged, "Gotham has always suffered from high places, hasn't it? For the safety of Mayor Dowling, or It's better not to mess around and pay attention."

Oswald only felt harsh when he heard Bruce's words, and angry red rushed to his ears from his neck: "At least I paid attention, it's better than someone like you who can only write checks, and whoever is sitting here can't write a check."

Warlock patted Oswald's arm to calm him down: "Oswald, your design is very good, but what Mr. Wayne said is also reasonable, the city government needs to keep a low profile. If you don't mind, I think It would be really cool to use your design for my mansion."

……

The meeting was not long. When the meeting reached 45 minutes, Warlock regretted to say goodbye to everyone present.Bruce Wayne came out of the conference room and caught up to Warlock in three steps and two steps.

Warlock stopped the clerk from trying to stop him, and looked at Bruce Wayne with an official smile: "Mr. Bruce, do you have anything else to say?"

Bruce looked into Warlock's blue eyes and was silent for a while before speaking: "My friend, Harvey Dent is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. He and I will always watch you."
