Stark Industries?

Hearing the name, David didn't react.

He has been living in the [Clockwork Psychiatric Hospital], he knows very little about the outside world, and he rarely watches the news, and this is the first time he has heard of this name.

Beth was different.

As a former New Yorker, every time I pass by Manhattan, I inevitably see the sleek building, which is the headquarters of Stark Industries.

In addition, Stark Industries also has a superhero who saved New York and has a very flamboyant personality as the boss, and now everyone in North America knows about it.

It's hard for her to think she's never heard of the name.

The Miss Pepper in front of her is actually the other half of the Iron Man?

Beth looked at Pepper with surprise in her eyes.

Although she already knew that Raymond and David were the same as that Iron Man, they both had unimaginable powers for ordinary people.

But the latter is a household name superhero after all, and he is also a super-rich man, one of the people he often sees in the news.

It feels completely different.

"Mistress Stark Industries, why did you come to us?" Beth was curious.

With that Iron Man's strength, net worth, and connections, most of the worlds that can stump ordinary people are not a problem for him at all, and the people who usually come to the detective agency are people who are in urgent need of help, and Beth can't think of anything that can make this Mistress of Stark Industries come to the door for help in person.

"Detective Raymond is joking, I'm not a hostess......" Pepper shook her head and laughed.

But it didn't seem strange that Raymond recognized her.

It's no wonder that she is half a public figure, as long as she pays a little attention to current affairs, it is not uncommon to recognize her.

"Not now, and it will always be, I trust Mr. Stark's vision." Raymond smiled and asked, "I wonder why Miss Pepper needs my help this time?" ”

"Find out someone's whereabouts."

"Who?"

"Our Stark Industries' Minister of Security, Harpy Hogan—"

"The same Mr. Hogan who served as Mr. Stark's bodyguard?" Raymond was slightly surprised.

"That's right." Pepper nodded, and for the first time showed a moving look, "I didn't expect Detective Raymond to know so much about us Stark Industries, it seems that I didn't come to the wrong place......"

It wasn't strange that Raymond recognized her.

Because she is often exposed to the media with Tony, or appears in the news, the number of people who can recognize her is not too few, if not as many as Tony.

But Harpy is different.

As Tony's former bodyguard and driver, and the current head of security at Stark Industries, neither of these are in high-profile positions.

And the media generally does not focus on the bodyguards of big shots, firstly, it is not topical, and secondly, it is somewhat immoral and easy to be criticized.

So, apart from within Stark Industries, there aren't many people who know Harpy.

Pepper really didn't expect that Detective Raymond, who was far away in Washington, would actually know who Harpy was.

Just for this profession, she felt that her trip was not in vain.

"Is it convenient to tell us about the specific situation?" Raymond continued.

"No problem."

Pepper nodded, and began to talk about the whole story.

She came to Washington on behalf of Stark Industries to discuss a business cooperation with the North American government, and Harpy happened to be relatively idle these days, so he personally escorted her over with a few bodyguards.

Unexpectedly, the day after they came, Harpy mysteriously disappeared.

The mobile phone can't get through, and the positioning chip on the body also fails, as if the world has evaporated.

When Pepper found out about the situation, he immediately called the police and informed Tony, who was still in New York.

Tony was also annoyed when he learned of this, thinking that it must be because some people were targeting him, so he arrested Harpy, and immediately rushed to Washington, using all his strength to start the investigation.

Even S.H.I.E.L.D. was alarmed and helped track it down.

It's just that forty-eight hours have passed, and I still don't have a clue.

Neither Tony nor S.H.I.E.L.D. found any useful clues.

Pepper felt guilty about the situation, although Tony had reassured her not to think about it, it was none of her business.

But Harpy came here because of the escort after all, and now that something has happened, how can she not blame herself.

But she blamed herself, but she couldn't help much.

Anxious to know the progress, she found the dean of the communication department of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, who she knew because of her business dealings, that is, Vincent, and planned to ask about the investigation of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The answer, of course, is the same, no progress.

However, before parting, Vincent told her that she could come here and ask, maybe there would be an unexpected surprise.

Pepper could also see that Vincent was not very sure about this, but with the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, she still immediately looked for it.

Anyway, she stayed and couldn't help much, even if it was just a little more possible to find Harpy, she didn't want to give up.

"Kidnapping...... "Raymond Mo rubbed his chin and muttered.

"At present, it is assumed that it is a kidnapping, but so far no one has contacted us to ask for ransom or something, and it doesn't look like a kidnapping." Pepper looked a little down.

"Well, it's not a big problem." Raymond nodded.

"What's not a big problem?" Pepper was stunned.

"Of course, it's not a big problem to find someone." Raymond said as a matter of course, "I took this job, but the price ......"

"Money is not an issue."

Pepper said nonchalantly, but quickly asked in a somewhat skeptical tone: "It's not that I don't believe Detective Raymond to spy on you, but you don't even know about the situation before Harpy disappeared, and you haven't investigated clues on the spot, so you are so confident that you can find him?" ”

"There is a specialization in the art industry, I said that there must be my reasons for saying that there is no problem, and you can't understand the specific reasons I said, so there is no need to waste saliva." Raymond waved his hand.

As soon as Pepper heard this, he immediately felt that Raymond was a little unreliable, like a liar.

But considering that the person who introduced her was Vincent, and as Vincent, he should not be a liar, she temporarily put aside her worries and asked, "Then do you pay the deposit directly now?" ”

"No need, find someone and talk about it, if you can't find it, I won't accept a penny." Raymond shook his head.

As soon as Raymond's words came out, he immediately dispelled Pepper's previous doubts.

Because Raymond is really a liar, it is impossible to say such a thing.

"Is he really sure?" A glimmer of hope rose in Pepper's heart.
