Chapter 121: Memory Reading
At ten o'clock in the morning, a man in black and a red-haired girl appeared in Wetz's office on time.
This was the first time Wetz had seen the Man in Black since he became the head of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agency. Before that, although he had also used the Adept, he had never met the Man in Black.
In the past, for the tasks that needed to be performed, after a phone call, the man in black gave instructions directly to the supernatural, and Weitz only had to wait for the final result.
This time the mission is different from the past.
First of all, the corpse of the striped one is currently located at the headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Adept must be here to read the memories of his last moments.
Secondly, the head of the head was also extremely shocked after learning that Larry, the deputy director of the S.H.I.E.L.D., was bought by the Japanese Black Dragon Society. In addition, when Weitz reported to the head, he mentioned that the warriors of some countries were involved in the battle for the treasure map. After learning of this information, the leader also paid more attention to the treasure map, so he specially asked the man in black to meet with Weitz in order to better coordinate the follow-up.
"Mr. Black, welcome to you, and thank you very much for your great support. Weitz greeted the other warmly, but also looked at the other party and the red-haired girl who came with him.
The man in black is a middle-aged man with a thin body, and indeed as his nickname suggests, dressed in a black suit, his hair neatly combed back to his head, his face is expressionless, and he does not smile, giving people the feeling of always rejecting people from thousands of miles away.
In response to Wetz's enthusiastic call, he only nodded slightly in response, and did not say too much. Even, for Weitz's outstretched right hand, he did not shake it.
In Weitz's eyes, the supernatural people belong to the generation of strange people, so they don't care about the other party's reaction. Moreover, although the two have never met, the previous tasks that Wetz asked the Adepts to perform through the Man in Black have been successfully completed.
Weitz values the outcome, and as long as the result is good, the process itself is not important.
The red-haired girl who came in with the man in black looked at Wetz's office with some curiosity.
It was a rather pretty white girl, who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a pair of washed and somewhat whitish jeans and a brown cotton jacket. It's just that the fiery red hair is particularly eye-catching.
Weitz was about to beckon the two of them to sit down in the reception area, but he heard the man in black say, "Mr. Weitz, since the matter is more urgent, let's go straight to work." ”
Obviously, he didn't want to be polite with Wetz, and he didn't want to get close to Wetz, he just wanted to leave as soon as he was done and get out of here.
Moreover, he addressed Weitz as "sir" rather than "director", and apparently did not regard Weitz as his superior. The reason why I came here to help should also be for the sake of the leader's face.
Weitz also directly ignored these details. He was also eager to find out what Striated had experienced before he died. Therefore, for the proposal of the man in black, it is also in the right place.
"Okay, then let's go straight over. Weitz said.
Then he said to the secretary who was still standing nearby, "Tell Laurin, and have someone wait in the underground morgue." ”
With that, he made a gesture of please to the man in black.
As for Weitz's performance, the man in black was quite satisfied. From the beginning of the meeting, Weitz did not pretend to be the director, treating him as a subordinate, and he has always been courteous.
After the three of them got on the elevator that went straight to the basement, the man in black said to Weinz, "Mr. Weinz, there is one thing I want to remind you of, don't get too much hope up about reading the memories of the deceased. ”
He glanced at the red-haired girl next to him, and continued, "Although Lisa can read some of the memories of the deceased before her death, she is limited to what happened about a minute before her death, and she can't know what happened earlier. ”
"Okay, then ask Miss Lisa to do her best. Weitz said.
Weitz didn't show any disappointment on the surface, but he was still a little disappointed in his heart.
If you can only read the memories of the deceased for about a minute before your death, it is estimated that the information that can be obtained is very limited.
However, at this point, he had no other way but to use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, hoping to obtain some useful information.
By the time the three of them arrived at the morgue, Laulin had already sent someone to wait at the door. Seeing the three people coming, the waiting man hurriedly opened the door and let the three in.
He then opened a refrigerated cabinet and pulled out the striped corpse.
After doing all this, he walked out of the morgue and waited outside the door.
Weitz said to the man in black, "Do you need me to avoid it?"
Wetz was also curious about reading the memories of the dead. To him, it was as magical as trying to make a dead man speak.
However, although he was curious and wanted to know how the red-haired girl could read the deceased's living memories, he also knew that it might involve the other party's secrets, and he might not want outsiders to see it.
"Mr. Weitz, don't shy away, it'll be over soon. Without waiting for the man in black to speak, the red-haired girl replied first.
For Lisa, reading the memories of the deceased is an innate ability for her, even if someone is present, she can't steal it. This ability cannot be acquired through learning.
She first discovered this ability when she was six years old. When her grandmother died of illness, when she held her grandmother's hand at the final farewell, she found that the image of her grandmother before her death appeared in her mind, as if she was playing a movie.
At that moment, she learned about her grandmother's desire for life and her love for herself. The sight of her grandmother crying with her picture is still unforgettable.
Lisa walked over to Stried's corpse, reached out and took one of Striak's hands, then closed her eyes. Soon, what happened before the horizontal stripe died appeared in her mind.
She saw that the horizontal stripe was leaving a message on a signal. Subsequently, the signal was dismantled and flushed into the sewer. In the end, he went to the small hall again and committed suicide by poisoning.
Lisa could feel the despair, pain, and helplessness of the horizontal stripes before she died.
"Mr. Weins, before he died, he once left a message to a woman named Meisha through a communication device, asking her not to forget the agreement between the two. ”
Later, the communication equipment was dismantled by this man and washed into the sewer. Then he went to a small hall and committed suicide by poisoning. ”
"This person had a lot of grievances before he died, and he seemed to have been framed by some people, and he was very unwilling to die. At the same time, it seems that there are still some people concerned. So, I was able to read his memories for a longer period of time. But even then, that's all. ”
Weitz was originally skeptical of his ability to read the memories of the deceased. However, when he hears Lisa say Meisa's name, he can be sure that the girl in front of him is indeed able to read the memories of the deceased. Because, he never mentioned Meisha's name in front of the two of them.
Although the man in black had told him that Lisa was able to read the memories of the deceased for a minute or so before his death, he was mentally prepared. However, Weitz was still a little disappointed at this time, because Lisa had limited access to information.
The only thing of value is that he learns that Striated had left a message for Mesa before his death. This at least shows that there is a secret way of communication between Striated and Mesa, and combined with the fact that Mesa played Nick's recording to him before, he suspects that Striated received messages from Mesa before she died. It is likely that at that time, Meisha had already told Sand that someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. had betrayed them.
In addition, judging from the behavior of the horizontal message, it seems that he thinks that Meisa will survive and hopes that she will do something in the future. From this point of view, it is possible that Stria really met someone before this, and asked this person to give his relics to Meisha in the future.
Striking's escape to the Natural History Museum was completely unexpected, and it was impossible for him to make an appointment with Meisa in advance to hide something somewhere in the museum.
And there's no way he's going to hide something somewhere in Central Park. Because it is impossible for Stria to predict an attack near Central Park in advance, and he will definitely survive the attack.
By all indications, Rum's previous inference was justified. Striated must have met someone inside the museum, and by chance, and entrusted something to them.
"Thank you, Miss Lisa. Wetz was a little disappointed, but said politely.
And, Lisa does provide some useful information as well. For example, the horizontal stripe uses a communication device to leave a message. That's the clue to an investigation.
It is possible to find out the signal from the Natural History Museum at that time and trace the message of the striated one there. Then, you can monitor the query status of the message in real time.
When Meisha looks up the information, she can capture her location. Next, you can track down Meisha's traces and monitor them, and when he connects with the other party, as long as he catches the person who came to connect, he believes that he can get back the original treasure map.
Of course, this is tedious and time-consuming. However, for now, there is no better way than that.
"You're welcome, Mr. Weitz. Lisa said, "I'm sorry I didn't help much." ”
"No, the information you just said is valuable and points us to the next step of our investigation. Weitz said seriously.
After seeing off the Man in Black and Lisa, Weitz informed Hayden of an investigation. However, he also knows that starting with the clue of the horizontal message, I am afraid that there will be no results in the short term.
Because, Lisa is also difficult to protect herself now, and may not have time to take care of the message at all. Even if you want to inquire about information, you will have to wait until her safety is secured.
Weits stood in front of the window of his office, looking at the gray sky, and a sense of unease ran through his heart. Now, the situation seems to be becoming more and more difficult to control.
"Could it be that in the end, this operation still has to hope for the supernatural to make a move?" Weitz mused.
