Li Nan's strength is indeed very strong, and it also makes all the agents present fearful, but this is the Strategic Science Corps, and there are still some people who are not afraid of death who have touched the gun.

Seeing that a battle was about to start, Duley, the current director of the New York branch of the Strategic Science Corps, hurriedly walked out of the independent office and shouted at everyone: "Don't do it, this is an advisor sent from the headquarters, Mr. Li Nan." ”

If outsiders dared to beat their colleagues, the agents present would fight even if they died, but when they heard that Li Nan was actually a consultant sent by the headquarters, although they were a little dissatisfied, they still dispersed obediently.

Without bothering with the cheap-mouthed agent who was covering his face, Director Dooley came to Li Nan and said with a calm face: "Consultant Li, let's talk to my office first." ”

Seeing Li Nan and Dooley walking towards the office, Carter hurriedly gave him a look not to cause trouble.

After closing the door, Director Dooley asked dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Li, you are an adviser sent by the General Bureau, I respect your identity, but can you explain why you beat your colleagues?" ”

Li Nan didn't plan to stay in the Strategic Legion for long, and he didn't need to look at anyone's face, so he unceremoniously asked Dooley: "I think you should have read my information, then you should also know that Carter is my comrade-in-arms." I wonder why such a good agent with outstanding ability and outstanding achievements is so discriminated against and insulted by you? ”

Li Nan, who has walked over from the sea of corpses and blood countless times, will naturally exude a strong killing intent when he is angry, and even Director Dooley, who has participated in the war, is a little frightened.

Dooley took a step back, pointed to his chair and said, "Advisor Li, don't get excited, let's sit down first, and I'll explain to you slowly." ”

After the two sat down, Dooley said, "I know Agent Carter has done a lot for this country, but you have to understand that we didn't let her participate in dangerous field activities, which meant to protect her, and there was no discrimination in it." Besides, if you really want her to participate in the operation, these agents are not willing to give their backs to a woman, and I can't force such a thing. ”

"Alas!" After listening to Director Dooley's words, Li Nan was helpless, so he could only let out a long sigh.

In the United States in this era, and even in the whole world, the status of women is generally not high. Although they are much stronger than before, and women can go out and do some light work, in the eyes of all men, the farther away they are from the battlefield, the better.

These things are not something that one person can change, even in the era in which Li Nan lived before, women and men were never truly equal.

After a moment of silence in the office, Li Nan changed the topic and said the purpose of this trip: "This time the headquarters sent me here for Howard's case, and I hope that Director Dooley, you can give me the necessary assistance." ”

Dooley responded: "No problem, our branch is also working overtime to find evidence now, intending to confirm Howard's crimes!" ”

"No, no, no, you stop." Li Nan asked suspiciously: "Director Dooley, listen to what you mean, you also think Howard is guilty?" ”

"Of course, now that Congress has convicted him, I have been instructed by several congressmen to confirm his charges as soon as possible and arrest Howard."

Li Nan looked at Dooley fixedly across the desk, and said slowly: "Director Dooley, let's put aside the opinions of those politicians, I want to ask you first, how did you confirm Howard's guilt without any evidence?" ”

"It's very simple, Howard spends a lot of money, it must be a lot of money, this time it must be that he stole and sold his own weapons to foreigners who paid a higher price in order to make huge profits."

"Hahaha......" After listening to Director Dooley's explanation, Li Nan couldn't help laughing.

Looking at Dooley, whose face was getting more and more ugly, Li Nan asked with a smile: "Director Dooley, do you know that Howard is the largest arms supplier to the military?" ”

"Yes, the whole world knows about it."

"Do you know how much money Howard makes every year?"

This time, without Dooley's answer, Li Nan continued: "The Stark Group earns far more money than you can imagine, even if he plays with hundreds of girls every day and buys more than a dozen luxury cars every day, this money can't be spent. So why did he risk losing the military's arms suppliers, get accused of treason, and give up all his assets in the United States to sell weapons privately and make a little money? ”

"Uh.... This ...... "Faced with these questions about Li Nan, Dooley found himself unable to say anything.

Some things are like that, when no one says it, everyone takes it for granted, but when you think about it, you can see that there are a lot of problems.

After a moment, Dooley, who figured out what was wrong, asked, "So, Howard was wronged?" ”

Li Nan nodded and said, "Before there is no evidence, I don't dare to determine whether Howard is guilty or innocent, but from the information I have now, I personally think that he was framed." ”

After this conversation, Dooley realized that he had made a preconceived mistake when facing Howard's case, and his judgment was also affected by several members of Congress, so he agreed with Li Nan's speculation and opinions.

Director Dooley stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Regardless of the outcome of this matter, we need to continue to investigate in the Strategic Science Corps." Consultant Li, since you are here specifically for this case, I will try my best to help you with whatever manpower and resources you need. ”

Holding Dooley's hand, Li Nan smiled: "Your other agents are dissatisfied with me now, so I only need one person, that is my old comrade-in-arms Carter, I hope you can agree." ”

"Absolutely." As he spoke, Dooley took out a document from the Strategic Science Corps from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Li Nan, "With this, you can deploy any resources of the branch, and it will be more convenient to deal with other departments." ”

Li Nan took the document and opened it to look at it, and saw that it not only had his name and photo, but also his military rank and position.

Having said everything that should have been said and everything that should have been discussed, Li Nan politely left Dooley's director's office and walked to Carter's desk under the watchful eyes of the other agents.

Sitting on Carter's desk, Li Nan smiled evilly, "From today onwards, you will be at my command, dear Peggy." ”

Although he knew that he should be able to go out to act, Carter still couldn't get used to Li Nan's lazy playboy appearance, and after glaring at him fiercely, he asked unhappily, "Where do we go to investigate first?" ”

"A hunter told me that if you want to catch a rabbit, you need to know the rabbit's route, take the guy, and let's go to Howard's mansion first."

Half an hour later, Carter and Li Nan returned to Howard's mansion in the open, and after setting up a rope ladder in the vault, the two climbed into the underground sewers.

Every city's sewers are similar, dark, damp, and emitting all sorts of unpleasant stenches.

While Carter was checking around with a flashlight, Li Nan took out a piece of fine cheese and said a few strange words in a loud voice.

"What are you doing?" Carter asked curiously.

"Shh Li Nan held up a finger and motioned for her to be quiet.

Half a minute later, there was a squeaky sound in the sewers, and seven or eight black rats came running from a distance, and when they came to Li Nan, they looked up at the piece of cheese in his hand.
