Chapter Seventy-Five: Interrogation

Northwest Washington, D.C., between 9th and 10th Ave., FBI headquarters.

Belle sat in a seemingly ordinary interrogation room, arms folded, legs crossed, black heels reflecting the light of the white woven lamp embedded in the ceiling, as if to blind all the F.B.I. dogs staring at her.

Her feet rotated slowly and regularly, and the light reflected from the tips of her shoes reflected in the eyes of the serious-looking agents outside the interrogation room, like a drumbeat of war, allowing the tension to spread and ferment rapidly, and like a hypnotic rhythm, even the tried and tested tenacity of the will could not be shaken.

Belle tilted her head to face the wide, one-way glass and smiled. She looked at the smile reflected in the mirror and thought it was genuine.

This sincerity was unreservedly transmitted to the agents who observed Belle through the one-way glass. Each of them understood the meaning of the smile: "Why bother, don't embarrass yourself." ”

I was comforted by a prisoner waiting for trial! This is a great shame for the interrogation experts!

But they had to admit that even when they looked at Belle through the one-way glass, they had already felt unprecedented pressure. The pressure was enough to make their throats tight, their limbs numb, their backs cold, and cold sweat all over their bodies.

It didn't take much time for the top interrogation experts in the United States to quickly reach a consensus: this person can't be tried.

Not far behind the interrogators, in the shadow of the corner, Emily Pantis, the current director of the FBI, stood against the wall, looking at the stack of useless materials in her hands, without saying a word.

Neither the FBI, nor the CIA, nor S.H.I.E.L.D. have ever been able to obtain the most valuable information about Belle.

A person's profile is nothing more than family composition, life experience, career development, economic status and social relations. It is not difficult for these three agencies to find out the above information of anyone. From the president of Russia to the homeless people on the streets, as long as they want to find out, they can definitely find it.

Belle's information is naturally not a secret. After all, she is more or less a public figure, and the things that can be picked up are basically picked up by the media. All the FBI can find out is more detailed.

Emily's most valuable information is only two things: what she is capable of and what position she holds.

It's a pity that the director is doomed to disappointment. No one knows these two things.

In terms of ability, every time Belle makes a move, she will show something new. And unlike Iron Man's technological progress, which can be predicted to some extent, Belle's ascension is irregular.

And the few people who knew that Belle was carrying the Infinity Stones, such as Iron Man and Doctor Strange, were very tight-lipped about the matter. There is a precedent for S.H.I.E.L.D. to try to use the Cosmic Cube to develop weapons of mass destruction, and these top sages in the world unanimously believe that the matter of the Infinity Stones should not be publicized.

And when it comes to positions, at least on the bright side, no matter how you look at it, Belle is a good law-abiding citizen.

Both parents are scientists, and they are properly from the middle and upper classes. A wealthy family who can afford a Manhattan mansion, a successful personal modeling career, a charitable foundation and a top club, an Ivy League registered student, a proper cultural and sports blossom, and no antisocial tendencies.

was rumored and colluded with the underworld, so that the media and netizens blacked the individual, but at a critical moment, they turned the tide and almost single-handedly saved the US decision-making level. Being hacked without refuting, merit without showing off, this kind of spirit and quality, it is okay to say that it is Captain America II.

At the same time, she is also a secret member of the Avengers, the best friend of the first lady, the best friend of the CEO of Stark Group, and she is highly respected by the military, political and business circles. Even Emily Pantis herself has a crush on her.

Such a person must be red and dedicated in his position.

After a long period of thought, the director of the FBI came to the conclusion that there was no need to interrogate this person.

Through the monitors, Iron Man, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Vision all watch all this. Even Doctor Strange, who has never been involved in the world, is very rare to get involved.

Tony Stark slumped on the couch at the Avengers base, with whiskey in front of him for occasional sips of whiskey, even in broad daylight, as he enjoyed a once-in-a-century but recurrent farce: the culprit flees to interrogate a hero who saved the city.

Steve Rogers was next to Iron Man, his brow furrowed and his lips pursed. In the heart of this war hero, who symbolizes the American spirit, the seeds of doubt are quietly germinating. The object of suspicion is precisely the state apparatus that maintains the normal functioning of the United States, including but not limited to the White House, Congress, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the FBI.

Stephen Strange was not in Washington, D.C., but in the Most Holy Sanctuary in New York. He sat cross-legged in mid-air, his eyes closed, no one knowing what he was thinking.

Wanda Maximoff is going through an inner struggle and struggle, and Vision is trying to comfort her. Both of them had received orders from the World Security Council and were on standby upstairs in the interrogation room where Belle was. They were ordered to intervene at the slightest moment necessary to prevent Belle from acting aggressively.

But they also knew that if Belle really wanted to do something, they wouldn't have time to stop it.

All five of them firmly believe that Belle should not be interrogated at all, and no one can judge her.

However, there are always people who do not believe in evil.

Bang! With a bang, the door to the interrogation room was violently pushed open.

The FBI, including Director Pantis, were taken aback, but Belle didn't react much, just stared openly, wanting to see which one was unqualified, and opened the door so ruthlessly, as if she had a grudge against the door.

This one is unbelievable, and the one who came in was really a strange person. Belle instantly thought of a very accurate description of racism, body discrimination, and sexism: this man looked like a trumpet Luke Cage, except that instead of being bald, he had the black man's signature unkempt head, and he was wearing women's clothes, albeit professional.

"Oh my God!" Playboy Tony Stark was directly stunned, "Who is this?" Where did you get such a thing? ”

"Pay attention to quality!" Captain America reminded in a low voice.

In Stark's heart, people, especially women, are absolutely righteous in appearance. However, the status is there, even if there are so many beautiful women around him, Stark still maintains a basic respect for the public face.

But this one really seriously impacted Iron Man's aesthetics, and he almost exploded.

In contrast, Captain America is slightly more calm. For the captain who takes the Wei Guangzheng route, from the president to the beggar, he can treat everyone equally. But in the face of this, he is also a little empty in his heart, after all, this image is too impactful.

Influenced by the vigorous development of the feminist movement, the affirmative action movement, and various movements, the high acceptance of different ideas by modern people is unparalleled. Brokebacks, lace, heroines, women's clothing bosses, defending animal rights, promoting vegetarianism, no matter what the idea, as long as it is not illegal, you can find a suitable living space.

As the protagonist of this work, which is faithfully practiced by this idea, Belle's open-mindedness is definitely ahead of her time. Of course, she doesn't try everything herself, but for most people and things, she can keep a normal heart and give enough respect and understanding.

However, the first time she saw this person, she felt sick to her stomach. This has nothing to do with appearance, figure, or dress, it is completely a violent conflict caused by the incompatibility of aura.

At the same time, this one also managed to be speechless and endless.

As if in response to Stark's question, she reported directly to her home: "Amanda Waller, Secretary General of the World Security Council, I am solely responsible for your interrogation." ”

In normal times, Belle would have already had a slumped expression on her face and then began to complain wildly. However, considering the amount of information in this sentence, she chose a "slightly more cautious" way of coping.

"The World Security Council? Does this organization still exist? ”

Amanda Waller clearly understood Belle's overtones. Ever since it was revealed that S.H.I.E.L.D. had been infiltrated by Hydra, and the World Security Council had been controlled by Alexander Pierce, the two bodies had suffered a full-blown crisis of confidence. S.H.I.E.L.D. was forced underground, and the World Security Council was dissolved, after all, no country wants to be shot by Hydra.

This kind of thing is naturally disgraceful to say, and Waller also understands that Belle is just trying to get a head start in the conversation.

But scheming has never been Belle's forte. On the contrary, it is the foundation of Amanda Waller's livelihood.

She wants Belle to understand that this is not a conversation, but an interrogation.

"Thanks to you, it's up to you people to make a fuss all over the world." Waller said, with no emotion on his face, "Just yesterday, a new world Security Council, led by the United States and with the participation of 117 countries, was reorganized. ”

"Hey, when it was first established, you, the secretary general, had time to come and see me in person? The leaders are so unclear about priorities, and I don't think this council will last long. ”

"You underestimate yourself too much," Waller said earnestly, "and what you do with you is much more important than the Security Council." To be honest, I've been eyeing you for a long time, but I haven't had the right opportunity. I know some of your things, too, so there's no need to talk nonsense. ”

Waller finished speaking, and threw a folder in his hand on the table in front of Belle.

"Look at the incident in Los Angeles, how do you think about it?"

Belle picked up the document and read it carefully.

An hour later, she finally finished reading. Belle slowly closed the folder, placed it firmly on the table, and slowly looked up to meet Waller's piercing eyes.

For an hour that Belle was reading the papers, Waller remained motionless and kept staring at Belle, observing her every breath, every small muscle movement.

She didn't find any flaws in Belle.

"You're a little better than I thought you would." Waller said a rare word of approval, "I was expecting you to be too emotional to control yourself, so it was better to kill me directly." ”

"Does it work to kill you?" Belle asked rhetorically, "Anyway, if you break this, there will be another one." ”

"Awesome!" Waller couldn't help but clap his hands and praise, "You can tell this is a stand-in?" ”

Belle didn't feel at all happy to be complimented by Waller. On the contrary, she said with some disappointment: "I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, and you didn't even have the courage to come to see me in person." If you are more cautious and less courageous, you can only engage in conspiracy behind your back, and you can't be counted on at critical moments. ”

"I don't care what you think of me." Waller said, "All I care about is your choice." ”

She opened the folder and let the first page appear in front of Belle's eyes, which read:

Peter Benjamin Parker, guilty of intentional homicide, recommended death penalty.
