What does it mean that the video of Mandarin claiming responsibility for the explosion was released five hours after the incident, and the biscuits he used as props in the video were produced an hour after the explosion?

And the production date printed on the biscuit is only his factory time, and when he delivers it from the biscuit factory to various retail outlets, waiting for the people in Mandalin to buy it, this process is not too much to say that he has two or three hours, right?

"It's just too much of a rush. Holmes shook his head, tapped his phone screen and said, "According to the clues we have so far, Mandarin only got this box of cookies an hour before the video was released. And the first half of the video he released can be seen by anyone that it was recorded in advance, but even if these videos are pre-edited and can be accessed at any time, at least they must be dubbed. ”

"In other words," Tony's mind raced, and he continued with Sherlock Holmes's words, "Mandarin had to finish the dubbing and editing of the early video in an hour, record the new video, and then hack it to the national television network for release. ”

"Exactly. Holmes nodded.

"He must have gone through it all over again when he made the video. Tony said a little stunned, "You're right, he's not a competent terrorist, he's a professional movie actor, I know a lot of professional Hollywood teams, and they are not so efficient!"

"That's why I don't think this incident was a terrorist attack planned in advance. Sherlock Holmes nodded and said, "It's more like a cover-up that was prepared in a hurry after the incident." ”

If this terrorist attack was planned in advance, and the video of the statement of responsibility was planned to be released from the beginning, then not to mention anything else, at least the props of the boss when recording should be prepared in advance, right?

But this time it's better, the lights and sound are already in place, and the boss is already sitting in front of the camera, but he finds out what are the cookies I want to smash? What do you mean by putting a durian on the table? I tell you to come to this set less, if you want to eat it, you can open it yourself, and maybe it will still taste like chestnuts in the microwave!

Tony held his chin twice, then took Holmes's phone, and with a shake of his hand, a blue ray immediately appeared on the screen, "Jarvis, zoom it in and up the pixels." ”

I have to say that Tony's level of stealing pictures is still quite high, just one second, the picture on the mobile phone was put down dozens of times, presented in front of everyone in the form of a large picture, after Jarvis's professional magnification, the things that could not be seen on the original mobile phone gradually became clear, such as the barcode on the biscuit packaging bag.

"Sir, after scanning the barcode, the bag of cookies should have been bought 1 hour and 15 minutes before the video was released. Without Tony's reminder, Jarvis, who has a certain amount of intelligence, completed the scanning of the barcode on the bag on his own.

"Where did you buy it?" asked Tony.

"It's a supermarket in Tennessee, sir. Jarvis replied calmly.

"Tennessee," Evenson shook his head, and wanted to laugh a little, "This guy is in the United States." ”

Evenson remembered a joke that the United States spent tens of billions of dollars to find bin Laden, and I don't know how many people died, only to find out that this person was in his own home. And this time the Mandarin incident is simply the same, people are not hiding in jungle caves, they are in the United States.

"If this event wasn't a pre-planned terrorist attack. Watson's eyes narrowed and he said, "So this explosion was an accident, so what caused this accident to happen?"

"You've spotted a blind spot, Watson. Sherlock Holmes nodded appreciatively at Watson, but then let out a sigh of relief and said, "But judging from the current situation, there is no way to judge this, so we need to continue to investigate." ”

"I might know why...", Tony was a little distracted, he waved his hand, and the scene in the room changed, it was a chubby man lying on the ground in a strange position, this was none other than Tony's bodyguard Harpy.

"This is a good friend of mine. "Harpy is Tony's bodyguard on the surface, but he and Tony have always been friends" He shouldn't be there, he has no interest in theater at all, he doesn't have a girlfriend, it's so unusual for him to be in the theater, there must be a special reason for him to go there. ”

Evenson nodded in agreement, most of the people who go to the theater to watch the play are in and out of pairs, where are you going to shake a two-hundred-pound dog?

"Maybe he'll tell us why. Sherlock Holmes took a look at Harpy's phantom and saw that the perspective of his eyes and the direction of his fingers seemed to suggest something. Then he adjusted his posture and lay down on his back, trying to overlap himself with Happy's image.

But before he could notice anything, suddenly two blue lines stretched out from his, no, it should have been Harpy's eyes and fingers, and finally interacted. Then a dotted circle appeared at the point of its interaction, with an unidentified object inside, which was the result of Jarvis's precise calculations.

"It's handy high-tech. Seeing this, Holmes twitched twice in the face and got up from the ground. This has replaced everything with high technology, is this still called investigating cases?

"Hmph. Tony gently held up the projection of the unknown object with his hand, and when he zoomed it in, he found that it was a military badge, the kind of thing that hung around the neck of an American soldier, commonly known as a dog tag.

"Soldier?" Tony frowned, and then asked Jarvis, "Are there any soldiers at the scene?" To be honest, he is also enjoying some of the fun of solving puzzles now, and maybe one day he will unlock the profession of private detective.

"It is not possible to confirm the presence of military activity at the scene. Jarvis replied truthfully, and Holmes took over the projection of the military card at this time and observed it carefully.

"Hmm... Aha. Holmes's brow furrowed suddenly, as if he had made a major discovery, "According to the abbreviation on this sign, I have figured out the unit in which this soldier is serving. ”

"Which one?" asked Tony, curious.

"Coincidentally. Sherlock Holmes licked his lips, he now felt that the matter was more complicated, "The unit this soldier is serving in is... That unit at Alio Salim airbase. ”

"Alio Salim Air Force Base?" Evenson thought the name was familiar, "is that the military base that was attacked by Mandarin?"

Holmes looked up and said, "Exactly. ”
