In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1858: Madman’s Journey (34)
In the evening, Natasha met Stark in a secret safe house in Nick. She looked at Stark from head to toe and then said: "I didn't expect you to be unharmed without a mecha." Jailbreak."
"What do you think I will do? Wear a steel suit and shake fists with them? This is legal bail." Stark adjusted the position of the microscope and said: "If I don't want to go to jail, no one can Catch me in, Pepper has prepared a team of lawyers, you are right, only if I live can I find out the real culprit of Rod's murder."
"You wish you had thought so earlier." Natasha crossed her arms, but did not lean against the wall lazily as before. It was obvious that the current situation made her feel some pressure, she said: " What are you going to do next? Do you have any ideas for investigation? Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Rod's family doesn't want to see me, and I don't have the nerve to see them. Now I choose to take legal measures to fight to the end. They will definitely be very disappointed in me, but the clues they provide are very crucial."
Stark stopped what he was doing, looked at Natasha seriously and said, "If you want to help, go do your old job and find a way to ask Rhodes' wife and son, then Did they see anyone suspicious one night?"
Natasha frowned and said, "You should know that if there are other suspects, Pepper will not allow the police to take you away from Stark Tower at all. Your legal team will immediately let you They look good."
"Are you doubting me?"
"If I doubted you, I wouldn't have come here to see you. I'm in the same danger as you." Natasha took two steps forward, put her hands on the experimental table and got close to Stark's face and said, "Think about it. The way De died, if you had died like this in the coffee shop that day, I would have been falsely accused and imprisoned. The murderer obviously wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and we are avoiding giving him this opportunity."
"No matter what, do what you should do." Stark turned around and said with a heavy face: "Use the same skills you used to get information from me to find out what happened that night? ”
Natasha took a deep breath, took two steps back and said: "If you need anything, just call Colson. He will provide you with all the conveniences, and so will Nick. Also, keep you." Take your own life, we will see you tomorrow."
Seeing Natasha's back turned sharply, Stark hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and said: "Listen, this is cooperation, let me see your sincerity, and put it to the test of the FBI Get back the evidence collected by the Department, I need them." Remember the website address m.97xisshuo. cc
Natasha turned back and said, "That was handed over to the FBI by Rod's family in person, and he trusted them."
"That's just because they have no one else to trust, but they trusted the wrong person. The FBI is useless, at any time." Stark finally walked to the experimental table and looked at Natasha Say: "This is my only request. If you want things to progress, you'd better do it quickly."
"Every request you make sounds like a threat, Tony. If you could just learn to speak properly, things would be better."
After saying that, Natasha walked towards the door, before leaving the room. She said: "I will let Colson try his best to coordinate, but don't expect me to steal them. It represents the hope of the Rhodes family. The loss of evidence will make them crazy."
After Natasha left the room, she walked toward the car while talking on the phone. She drove back to SHIELD and told Colson Stark's request.
Of course, Coulson was very embarrassed. No agent in the entire SHIELD was willing to deal with the FBI. Although their scope of responsibilities was above that of the FBI, the leaders of every department in the FBI were They are difficult to deal with. If you want to **** things from them, you need excellent psychological quality.
No matter what, Natasha decided to help Stark, because if someone could find clues to the murderer through technical means, it would have to be Iron Man, so she planned to drive to Rhodes' house to see if she could get help from the family. Asked for more useful information.
Just when she walked out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building again, opened the car door and was about to sit in, Coulson hurriedly chased after her and said: "The director is going to deal with the FBI personally, I'll be with you Go ahead."
Natasha got into the driver's seat without saying anything, and the two of them drove all the way to Rhodes' house. Natasha counted the time silently in her mind along the way.
According to Jane Foster, Thor's abnormal state started around four o'clock in the afternoon and improved around five thirty. According to Stark himself, it was also in the evening that he went to see Rhodes to reminisce. , close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the medical examiner determined that Rod's death time was around three o'clock in the morning. According to his son's testimony, Rod began to have abnormalities at 11:30 in the middle of the night.
It takes about two and a half hours to fly from New York to New Mexico at the fastest speed. In other words, if there is only one murderer, he must attack Thor first and then go to Rhodes, about seven hours apart. .
Excluding the preparation time, the time spent on the journey must be less than five hours, which means that the other party can only travel by plane, not by road.
However, no suspicious persons were found among the flights between New Jersey and New Mexico that SHIELD checked during this period. The other parties either had their own flight equipment or had special methods to avoid airport security.
Natasha could not weigh the two possibilities for the time being, so she told Coulson her analysis results. Coulson thought for a while and said: "If it is the former, either the military will do it." Either the other side, or the police, if the other side wants to hide something, we won’t be able to find out the movements of the business jet."
"If it's the latter, maybe we can check whether the crew security personnel were bribed, but I don't think there's much hope."
"Nick has realized that some people don't want him to form the Avengers, right?"
"Yes, and he is highly suspicious of the FBI, so he has to deal with the boss of the laboratory himself. They have made things difficult for each other not once or twice."
Natasha put her hands on the steering wheel and sighed lightly, but she still turned to look at Coulson and said, "Have you brought your ID?"
Colson reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a pile of IDs, flipping through them and saying, "Which one do you want? CIA? FBI? NYPD?"
"Is there anyone from the Air Force?"
Colson looked over his body again and finally said: "I only brought a pilot's license, and it's not a military one."
Natasha took it over, looked at it, and said, "That's enough. Listen, I am Lieutenant Colonel Delina, retired from the U.S. Air Force, and you are my husband, Zahak from the Logistics Support Department. , we have worked with Rod at different times."
"As for the details, I have heard many anecdotes about him and Rod from Tony before, and this is enough."
Natasha won't say it, but it's actually because she met Rhodes in another universe and knows a lot about his living habits. It's enough to act as a colleague.
Soon the car drove to the door of Colonel Rhodes' house. Natasha stepped forward to ring the doorbell. Coulson made a worried gesture because he thought someone from the FBI and the military must be watching here, and Natasha was famous, and he was afraid that Cheng Yaojin would rush out and stop her halfway.
Natasha is very confident in her investigation, because she knows that even if the FBI and the military know that she is coming, they will definitely let her in, because they know the Black Widow's capabilities better than anyone else. , they want to sit back and enjoy the gains.
If nothing else, Colonel Rhodes' house is now covered with surveillance cameras, and what's worse than this may be that there is another trap for the murderer in front of him.
Natasha turned her head slightly and lowered her voice and said to Coulson: "Think about the secret agent code. Don't touch anything after entering the house. Just follow my eyes."
The doorbell rang several times, and the haggard-looking Mrs. Rhodes poked her head out of the crack in the door. Seeing that it was a couple who rang the doorbell, she breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened the door and walked out.
She cautiously did not open the door, but asked through the door: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"We are former comrades of Colonel Rhodes. I am a retired pilot and now a civil aviation captain in American Airlines. The two of us met when we were recruits. My husband is still in service. He is in the Air Force combat readiness department. I worked with Colonel Rhodes for a while when I was serving in the Management Office."
"Oh, my God, please come in." Mrs. Rhodes hurriedly opened the door and said apologetically: "There have been too many police and reporters coming recently, and they all want to dig out inside information from me. , I have to be careful."
"You can rest assured that we are definitely not reporters." Natasha sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you. Our old boss, General Burke, who has now retired to Hawaii, wants to Know what this is about."
Hearing the familiar name, Mrs. Rhodes's expression relaxed a little. She and the two of them walked towards the door and said, "Is Lieutenant General Burke okay? Rhodes always mentioned him to me before. He But Rhodes was promoted as a nobleman."
What Mrs. Rhodes didn’t say was that she knew that Rhodes’ faction in the military belonged to Lieutenant General Burke. If someone in her faction died, they would definitely ask questions. Thinking of this, Mrs. Rhodes I believed a little more about Natasha's purpose.
"Don't worry, madam, we all miss you very much, and the military will definitely pursue this matter to the end, and so will we."
Natasha and Colson walked in the door, Mrs. Rhodes closed the door, and she asked them to sit down on the sofa.
Natasha exchanged a few pleasantries as usual, and then got down to business. Because she had previously revealed that she was also here for military investigation, it was not out of the ordinary to ask for details at this moment.
But unfortunately, Mrs. Rhodes' performance was no different from the media reports. She only said that Rhodes' death was too strange and she had never heard or seen him have any heart problems before.
But what surprised Natasha was that Mrs. Rhodes didn't actually believe that Stark did it.
The poor lady wiped away tears and said: "I know him, I know James, he is not friends with Tony Stark for money, the two of them are true friends."
"Tony has been to our house several times before. When he was here, he was not as rude as reported by the outside world. He also tutored Hancock with his homework. He had no reason to kill him. Friends, this is definitely someone trying to sow discord."
Natasha looked at the lady in shock ~IndoMTL.com~ but she immediately seized the opportunity and asked: "Is there anyone suspicious?"
Everyone behind the surveillance equipment listened attentively to Mrs. Rhodes' answer.
Mrs. Rhodes was silent for a long time, but finally said: "Two days before James died, I heard him mention that General Ross was organizing an operation to capture the Hulk because General Ross knew Someone wants to recruit the Hulk, and the Hulk is his."
"My husband has been dissatisfied with this for a long time. He believes that the military should not cause more trouble for this big man. Someone who is willing to recruit Hulk and appease him is wiping their butt. Rose should not cause trouble. ”
"He told Tony about this while he was drinking. He hoped that Tony could inform Hulk in advance and let Hulk hide."
Natasha continued her words thoughtfully: "And if Tony Stark is arrested for Rhodes' death, then he will have absolutely no chance to inform Hulk."
"Thank you, madam, this is a very important clue, we will leave now."
