Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Seattle Serial Murders

When Tony walked out of the studio, his expression was sleepwalking, his hair was messy, and he still had the bad smell of engine oil.

He floated all the way over, tiredly pressed the start button of the coffee machine, opened the refrigerator, took out a sandwich that I don't know how many days were left, and was about to take a bite, but Daniel snatched it up and threw it directly into the trash.

"Hey!" As soon as he shouted, an oversized doughnut was stuffed into his mouth.

He took a reflexive bite, and his overused brain seemed to be redeemed immediately, and a look of incomparable emotion suddenly appeared in his large caramel-colored eyes.

"It's just the right amount of sweetness, the heat is just right, and the taste is pretty good."

Almost immediately, he gave a thumbs up and commented sincerely.

Daniel's blue eyes smiled crookedly.

He gestured to the table next to him: "Oh, when I went out in the morning, I bought a big box, didn't you see it?" Don't eat the stuff in the fridge that is about to expire, your stomach will cry by then. However, what time did you go to bed last night, and why did you look like you were dead? ”

"Are you kidding? That word doesn't have anything to do with me. I'm notoriously energetic, you can try it another day. Really, I highly recommend. Tony said proudly as he bit into the doughnut.

Then, he looked at the table, only to be surprised to find that there was really a big dessert box on it, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really rare, you actually take the initiative to buy something." ”

He walked over and flipped through it casually, and found that the brand was not a bargain, but a very expensive one.

Of course, after he identified the taste, it was also very good.

At this time, Clint also took the opportunity to shout next to him: "You don't know, this guy is actually super rich!" I went out shopping with him today, and I accidentally saw the amount on his bank card, followed by several zeros, which is much richer than me...... In this way, he still pretends to be poor every day, and picks the door every day to grab something to eat with me! ”

"Patton, didn't you notice? Probably everyone in this room is richer than you. ”

Tony scoffed at him unceremoniously.

It's true that Hawkeye is really not good at financial management.

His talent in this area is probably inversely proportional to his talent in archery.

Clint himself knew this, and his expression was suddenly stupid, but he didn't refute it for a while.

Natasha turned to the side and smiled and touched his puffed round face.

At this time, the coffee is ready.

Tony took the coffee cup over and took a cup, he drank the coffee while picking and picking in the box to find his favorite dessert, and sighed: "I should eat more, next time you take the initiative to buy something, but I don't know when." ”

Daniel subconsciously glanced at Steve, and suddenly sighed in a lost and sad tone: "I think I'm very good at making money, but I was ...... However, because I am not in a hurry to get married and have a baby, I don't need to save money now. You can eat as much as you want, and I can buy you a ...... next time you want to eat."

Steve turned his head in embarrassment, embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Tony, on the other hand, almost laughed and squirted coffee.

Clint kept laughing and leaned back, but Natasha was much calmer, just glancing apologetically at the captain.

After a while, Daniel suddenly said in a very relaxed tone, "I'm going to go to Seattle recently. ”

"No leave, thank you." Tony said crisply.

Daniel blinked his blue eyes, "Don't make a fuss, Tony, I've got something to do." ”

"What kind of business are your little part-time jobs?" Tony said in a rather disdainful tone, "And, didn't you just say that you don't need to save money at the moment?" Or are you unlucky enough to run into some trouble? ”

"First of all, if you care about me, please use normal language next time." Daniel glared at him fiercely: "Secondly, I have already said hello to Miss Potts, so whether you approve the leave or not has no practical meaning at all; Finally, this incident has something to do with the Avengers, and I will explain it to you slowly in a moment. ”

When I heard that it had something to do with the Avengers, everyone who was just smiling and watching them quarrel was just a little bit of a little mention of the pen and www.biquge.info attention.

"What's the matter?" Steve asked.

"Have all the civilian staff been assigned to work these days?" Clint asked with a playful smile.

"It's not." Daniel stood up directly, "Jarvis, excuse me." ”

"It's easy, it's not a hassle, Mr. Black, you're so gracious." Jarvis replied politely.

Then, he quickly called up a file that he had helped Daniel pull up and projected it in 3D - "The Battle of New York. S.H.I.E.L.D. Archive.b23007357910.

"I've always believed that there is no such thing as a watertight conspiracy."

Daniel stood next to those 3D projections and explained to everyone seriously: "To give you a close example, the last time Loki invaded the earth, he didn't suddenly attack with an alien army, but also after preliminary preparation, planning, and foreshadowing......"

He pointed to the projection showing what Loki had done before the Battle of New York.

A clear table of what Loki did, alongside the purpose of doing it, including: seizing the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, causing chaos, seizing the Iridium element, provoking the Avengers to fight, and so on.

"He did so many things before he finally succeeded in opening the channel between the Earth and the alien planets, and then, let Zetari's group of alien terrorists enter the Earth, causing the Battle of New York."

"What do you want to say?" Tony raised his eyebrows and asked calmly.

"I mean, when those bad guys, terrorists, are planning a conspiracy, it can't be seamless."

"They may need to find helpers, they may need to get some necessary items, or they may even need to do a small debugging," Daniel carefully considered. They think they're not noticeable, but that's just because no one pays attention to the weird things. ”

"But if we pay attention to these, set up an early warning mechanism, and conduct relevant analysis and investigation after detecting the clues in time, and find out the purpose of their work, will we be able to curb their plans from the source in time, accurately cut off the possibility of continued development, and minimize the damage?"

"Of course, this is just a possible direction that I have offered. After all......"

Daniel spread his hands helplessly and said: "Most of the time, we are not facing ordinary people, either alien gods or aliens. ”

"I think it's necessary to have an early warning." After thinking about it for a while, Steve first agreed with this suggestion.

Then, he cautiously asked, "But how can we find those clues?" ”

"You mean global surveillance?" On the contrary, Tony's mind spins extremely fast and he comes up with a new concept in an instant.

He frowned slightly, his fingers slicing quickly across the tablet, as if calculating something feasible or something.

Then, he tapped his fingers on the table and said in deep thought, "Perhaps, I can launch more satellites up there......"

"Wait, wait!" Steve was surprised and said, "Monitor, who are you going to monitor?" The people? Tony, you don't have the right to do that. ”

"Please, Captain." Tony retorted impatiently, "I'm protecting them." How do you describe that? All right...... Take precautions, prevent problems before they happen, and stifle crime in the cradle......"

"Stop. Whatever the reason, it is shameful to infringe on the privacy and freedom of others in the name of maintaining order! Steve said firmly, "I'm sorry, Tony, I can't allow you to do that." ”

"Oh my God!" Tony said irritably, "I can't communicate properly with an old antique like you." ”

"Can you two not be in such a hurry?" Natasha interrupted their argument by speaking suddenly.

She turned her head to look to the other side and asked gently, "Daniel, do you still have something to say?" ”

"Uh...... Yes. Daniel replied hurriedly.

He was a little stupid just now, and it was the first time he saw such a-for-tat argument between the captain and Tony, and no one could convince anyone.

"Tony, Captain, I'm not trying to monitor the globe."

He hurriedly explained, "I just want to work with some departments of the government. ”

"Working with the government?" Tony looked at him incredulously, "Are you kidding?" ”

"Listen to what I'm saying." "In fact, the FBI, CIA, NSA, DHS, and other departments have a lot of intelligence and resources...... Tony, don't talk, I know you can hack in, but you're only one person, and you can't do everything. ”

"I mean, even if ordinary people without superpowers can't save the world, they still have great things. If we use the intelligence network of these departments, when we encounter suspicious incidents, they will screen them and notify us, and then, according to the severity of the situation, we will send people to investigate, find problems in time, and solve problems before they deteriorate......"

Everyone stopped talking, and they quietly pondered the feasibility of such a thing.

"I don't have any opinion, as long as I don't get commanded indiscriminately by the politicians in the government, if I just cooperate, I can consider it."

Hawkeye Clint was unexpectedly the first to express his opinion.

In a way, he is also a lone ranger, but because he was an agent subordinate to Aegis from the beginning, as long as he is not interfered with his work and is not used, most of the time, he can ignore the bureaucrats in the government.

"I agree with Clint." Natasha replied calmly: "However, I don't like dealing with that group of people at all. ”

"Hmm...... Hulk and I have always had a good relationship with the military. ”

Dr. Banner humorously expressed his opinion: "Every time we meet, you live and die." ”

"However, I agree with Daniel's approach rather than global surveillance."

Steve crossed his hands, thought seriously for a while, and then said slightly in agreement.

"Whatever you want!" Tony said coldly.

He didn't say anything more, but the expression on his face was obviously disapproving.

Then, he blinked his big brown eyes and automatically changed the subject: "Honey, didn't you just say that you were going to Seattle?" Why are there so many other questions? ”

"It's not nonsense. Thank you, Jarvis, for putting this information away. By the way, please help me open the F drive, which says the text jiàn from Seattle. Daniel said.

"We're here to help, Mr. Black." Jarvis replied politely.

A newspaper clipping was projected in front of everyone, and it was the headline of the Seattle Times.

Specifically, the serial murders continue - and the police have no new clues.

"What's wrong with that?" Tony pouted, looking nonchalant: "What else can you see besides the incompetence of the police?" ”

"Actually, when I went to the NSA a while ago, I had a brief conversation with their chief, and they were very interested in what I just said about the early warning mechanism or something. At present, we are still in the process of step-by-step concrete negotiations. ”

"Hey, boy, have you learned to assert yourself?" Tony yelled unhappily.

"If you don't agree, I'm definitely not going to do it, just talking about it occasionally." Daniel replied.

"I really admire you, you can still talk to those people." Tony's face showed a look of boredom: "I'm annoying them, and they probably annoy me too." ”

"It's normal, there are not many people who like you." Daniel didn't hesitate to hurt him.

Then, he continued his previous topic: "So, this time, the Seattle serial murder case is the first case that was transferred to me over there, and I plan to verify it myself to see if the cooperation is feasible or not." Of course, I don't expect anything big to ruin the planet, but if I can stop something in time, even if it's just an ordinary murder, I don't think it's a trip in vain. ”

Then, his blue eyes widened, and he looked at Tony viciously: "Tony, if you dare to say another sarcastic word, I will kill you." ”

"Intimidation, you are intimidation! Captain, did you hear that? Someone dared to intimidate me in front of you! ”

Tony called out with big brown eyes and a look of fear.

Steve couldn't help but laugh for a moment: "I'm going to pretend I can't see."

Then, as expected, he ignored Tony and turned to a gentle encouragement to Daniel, "I think you're doing the right thing, Daniel." However, please stay safe and remember to call us if you do see danger. ”

The blonde and blue-eyed Captain America, the corners of his lips rose slightly, revealing an incomparably firm and gentle smile: "Remember that you are also a member of the Avengers, if necessary, AvengersAssemble!" ”
