Chapter 891: Detective Hand
Thomas was suddenly shot dead by Ward, and everyone present was shocked in addition to shock.
Not to mention that Thomas is only suspected of having special abilities, his body is just a paralyzed patient in bed and unable to move, and he did not make any resistance, as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he suddenly shot him in the back, which is already a serious violation of the arrest regulations.
And what Thomas just said was indeed appalling, and it made people quite angry after hearing it, but did it really get to the point where people couldn't help but beat him to death after hearing it? But Ward Grant is a mid-level agent.
After so many years of agent education and so many missions performed perfectly, it will explode like a cannonball?! Could he not have imagined that once Thomas died, the things he secretly planned, and how his henchmen should be traced?
So no matter how Ward distinguishes now, the people present can't understand his behavior, and they are very disappointed in him, and even some people have already thought of the word killing. So Ward was immediately taken into custody and awaited punishment.
"So, you suspect that Coulson is the real clairvoyant based on these things?" Evenson just thought it was funny after listening to what Claire said.
"Isn't that enough?" said Claire, "according to my expertise, Coulson had violated a lot of international law and S.H.I.E.L.D. regulations before this, and Agent Black was puzzled by this, and went to negotiate with Victoria Hand, but then he died. β
"He died at the hands of Ghost Rider. Evenson reminded, "You've seen that guy, he doesn't listen to almost anyone, don't you think Coulson can arrange that guy to kill for him?"
Speaking of which, Evenson also felt very unhappy, Ghost Rider suddenly came out of the mountain, you don't need to think about it to know that Mephisto did it, but you want to stop the Insight Project from sending anyone, can't you, send Ghost Rider over? Who can cooperate with this guy?
No, after arriving in the United States, he didn't do anything and slaughtered a friendly army to sacrifice to the sky.
"I definitely think the appearance of the Ghost Rider was an accident, so what? The Death Warrior was already on the scene. Claire continued, "So if this accident happens, Blake will definitely die." β
"And at the end of the day, we broke into the stronghold of the so-called clairvoyant, and the Death Warrior was present, but from what I had observed, his actions were more of a lure than a battle, and he led us all the way to the location of the clairvoyant, as if we were afraid that we would not find out. β
"But after my temptation, Thomas knew nothing, could not have been a prophet, and I even felt that he could not speak at all, and that those words were only pre-programmed. β
"However, if Thomas doesn't have that ability, he has to disguise himself as a clairvoyant, and clairvoyance does calculate so many things correctly, which must require a lot of intelligence support, Agent Black had guessed before his death that the real clairvoyant should only be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent with eighth-level clearance, and it seems that he guessed correctly. β
And in the end, Thomas's words suddenly provoked as if he were deliberately provoking someone, and Agent Ward was so angry that he shot him to death, and everything seemed to fall into place. β
"And as soon as Thomas dies, he is not clairvoyant but also clairvoyant, and the real mastermind behind the scenes will be completely hidden. β
And because Ward is Coulson's subordinate, it is only natural that he was instructed by Coulson to kill people. Evenson nodded, "This reasoning is indeed very logical. β
No, this logic is simply unassailable! Evenson thought for a moment, if he didn't know a lot of things, and put aside the personal emotional factor, maybe I would have believed it.
"But don't think about it. Evenson sighed and said, "From what I know, Coulson is definitely not clairvoyant. β
"What do you know?" Claire's eyes narrowed suddenly, "Sure enough, you really have a lot of things to hide from me!"
Didn't you say it earlier, then wouldn't I be like an idiot when I reasoned such a big deal just now?" "Okay, if you don't explain it to me clearly when you go back, don't think about going to bed in the future." β
"Hmm...," Evenson twitched, but then his swimming tongue licked his lips, "Then you go home tonight, and I can give you a good explanation in simple terms." β
Claire was silent for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, but then reminded her, "You don't think clairvoyance is Coulson, but that doesn't mean that others don't think so, Victoria Hand seems to have a lot of ideas." β
"I'm not a god, how can I control what other people think?" "The main thing is that you girl don't think nonsense, but... What posture should I use to explain it tonight?
"How's that? Did Coulson betray too?" Peggy Carter came behind Evenson's back, looking very anxious, he really couldn't figure out how even Coulson, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, had betrayed him?
"Oh? no... No. Evenson was taken aback by the coldness, and he turned back to Peggy Carter and said, "Claire is making a fuss, being misled, you don't have to take it personally." β
Peggy Carter let out a sigh of relief and nodded, but asked nervously, "What about Steve...?"
"So be it. Evenson thought for a moment and said, "You're okay now, why don't you go home and keep an eye on Captain America to see if there's anything out of the ordinary, but I don't think there should be, and it won't be long before things come to light." β
"Hmm... That's all there is to it. Peggy Carter nodded slowly, "I'll go back now." β
However, Claire's previous reasoning was misguided and wrong, but she was right about one thing, and that was that Victoria Hand did have a lot of ideas about the matter.
Since the end of the mission, Hand has returned to the center and locked himself in his room, and the death of Agent Black has hit him hard, but she has not felt sad about it, or has no time to grieve. There was a laptop on the table, and she was engrossed in looking for something.
The best remembrance of his comrade-in-arms is not a deep mourning, but the completion of his unfinished business.
Blake thinks Coulson is clairvoyant, and he goes on a mission with suspicion, and then he dies, although he died at the hands of Ghost Rider, but she thinks the same as Claire, the death warrior has arrived early and grabbed Blake by the throat, even if he doesn't have that accident, he will definitely die.
This, coupled with Ward's killing of Thomas at the end, convinced her of the speculation that Coulson was clairvoyant. But when she saw the information in front of her, she couldn't help but be a little shaken.
Is the arrival of Ghost Rider really an accident?
She is now looking at the Ghost Rider's supervisor profile. Due to the particularity of this target, S.H.I.E.L.D. has no way to send personnel to be closely monitored by him, and can only be remotely monitored through satellites.
Through her information, she discovered that Ghost Rider had been staying in Eastern Europe until one night he suddenly put on roller skates and crossed the ocean to the United States.
And after comparison, the time when Ghost Rider set off was the same time that Coulson held a meeting of senior agents, although there were some small errors, but it was almost at the same time. At the beginning of the mission, Ghost Rider set off, is it a coincidence? Coincidence that after running so far to the United States, no one was looking for him, so he directly found Blake?
But if it's not a coincidence, why would Ghost Rider cooperate with Coulson's actions?
Hand tapped a few times on his keyboard, searching for information, but then a red box popped up on his screen that said Lack of Permissions.
Insufficient authority? Hand frowned slightly, his eighth-level authority is still insufficient? Then it can only be the ninth-level and tenth-level authority? But in S.H.I.E.L.D., the ninth-level agent is just an honorary title, and there is no difference between the eighth-level agent and the eighth-level agent in terms of authority, so this is the tenth-level one? That is something that only the director and the minister know? But this also proves that there is indeed that person.
Hand, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. There is no evidence for his own speculation, Coulson is very trusted by Nick Fury, which is impossible to rely on these alone to apply for permission like Nick Fury.
But her eyes suddenly lit up, since I can't get the information directly, why don't I find another way?
Thinking of this, Victoria Hand began to pay more careful attention to the information in front of him. But thankfully, it's not that hard to analyze. Because S.H.I.E.L.D.'s information on Ghost Rider began with the New Mexico Thor Advent event.
Special Advisor Evenson Richter and Level 8 Agent Melinda May help them defeat the out-of-control Destroyer of Asgard after encountering Ghost Rider on their way to New Mexico.
That's just one short sentence. Hand felt that there were still many things that were not recorded, or that these few permissions were not enough to know them.
Since then, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been monitoring Ghost Rider, but these materials are mediocre, just a simple record of his life and location, and from these points of view, Ghost Rider's human form, Johnny Blazer, seems to dislike transformation very much, and has been living in inaccessible places since he went to Eastern Europe.
Then came Ghost Rider's second contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. Special Advisor Evenson Richter and his family member Claire Ludwig, as well as Rank 8 Agent Melinda May, and a member of the Task Force traveled to Eastern Europe on a business trip to cooperate with Ghost Rider.
When Hand saw this word, he felt that there was a problem, what does it mean to be on business? Can't even write down the specific tasks?
After that, Ghost Rider's surveillance data became dull again, until today.
Looking at this, Victoria Hand found no trace of the person who could control the Ghost Rider. I'm so naΓ―ve, since it's going to be kept secret, how can it be so easy for people to speculate... Wait a minute...
Hand seems to have suddenly discovered something, the previous events of Ghost Rider were all taken over by Evenson Richter. He's a special affairs adviser, and that's what he does, and there's nothing wrong with it.
However, the reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. uses satellites to monitor Ghost Rider is entirely because this target is uncontrollable, and if it is easily touched after the transformation, it will kill on a large scale.
However, the only two mission reports used the words "assistance" and "cooperation", which meant that Evenson had a way to make the Ghost Rider obedient.
And the person who can control the Evil Ghost Rider involves level ten permissions, which can be said that person has level ten permissions, but it can also be said that he is kept secret by level ten levels. Evenson Richter, who was once kept secret by Level 10. Although he has been gradually declassified recently, there are still many things about him that are still level 10 secrets.
So... Evenson Richter, the one who can control Ghost Rider? Yes, Ghost Rider is that kind of unscientific fantasy existence, and Evenson is who? a warlock, a magician. They're a good fit.
Considering Evenson's interpersonal relationships, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s first agents who contacted him were Coulson and Melinda, and they were also agents who worked with him a lot, and their relationship was not ordinary.
The first time, Evenson and Melinda rushed to New Mexico, and on the New Mexico side, Coulson's hammer base was in charge.
The second time, although Coulson was announced dead at that time, who knows where he was, but Melinda, who had a close relationship with Coulson, was present.
This time, Evenson didn't attend, but he sent his magical lover over, along with Melinda and Coulson.
In this case, everything makes sense... Hand raised his hand and lifted his glasses, which glowed with a dazzling white light.
Evenson, Melinda, Coulson, and they form a secret group to reach an ulterior secret by virtue of their close relationship with each other. And because they have been doing more and more things lately, the group has become a bit high-profile, so they co-designed this mission, launching a fake clairvoyant to come out and die, and then hide behind the scenes again.
Evenson Richter, who was almost on call out of caution, did not come in person this time, but asked his lover to come over. And to be on the safe side, Evenson summoned the Ghost Rider, who seemed to have nothing to do with him and had no way to interrogate S.H.I.E.L.D., to come to help.
Blake had earlier seen the oddity of the mission and became suspicious. But Coulson and May are both very capable agents, and Claire is magical... Thinking of this, Hand thought of the moment when he and Claire looked at each other, and couldn't help but shudder, and there seemed to be an inaudible whisper in her ears, but she looked around and saw no one, and she didn't hear what those whispers were saying. So I went back to what I had just thought.
Since Claire is a terrifying person who can do magic, Blake's suspicions and investigations should have been seen through by them from the beginning. So Melinda led it to the Land of the Dead, a trap of design.
Coulson sent the Death Warrior to kill Black, but after much deliberation, it was decided to let Ghost Rider do it. In this way, the incident can be portrayed as an accident and completely separated from the case. Even if it is investigated, the focus will only be on the control of the Ghost Rider, and will not involve clairvoyance.
So the real clairvoyant is Phil Colson... Is it?
No, Hand shook his head and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the clairvoyant's ability to proclaim to the outside world, omniscient and all-seeing to predict the future, this is indeed a very bluffing gimmick, but Coulson is a relatively old-fashioned person, although sometimes he will show a sullen side, but this kind of propaganda is not in line with his style. Yes, omniscient and all-seeing predicts the future, all in the style of fantasy magic, and I'm afraid only Evenson Richter will like this style of.
So, Evenson Richter is the real clairvoyant! It can't be wrong, Melinda and Coulson used to be very good people, trustworthy people, and their sudden deterioration can only be bewitched by someone, and that person can only be approached by their trust and favor, Evenson Richter!
