chapter 92 You are not righteous
Joseph Eugene, former chief scientist at Hellfire, was the main designer of the Helicarrier.
Fawkes frowned imperceptibly when he saw the information about Joseph Eugene on the wall.
But this small move was still noticed by the keen director of intelligence, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook an arc.
"This person, I think you should know."
"Yes", Fox nodded without hesitation, he did not deny it, but added: "I met in Rio, at that meeting, this Joseph Eugene sat next to Odore, and what impressed me was that he proposed the idea of a space early warning system, he was an important person, but after Odore's death, I heard that he left the Hellfire Legion." β
Barton smiled and continued in a relaxed tone, "So your answer is, don't you know where he went, Mr. Councillor?" β
Fawkes turned his head and spread his hands.
"It's obvious."
"You're lying!"
Barton's tone suddenly sharpened, and his gaze stared straight into Fox's deep, calm eyes, "Remember the spaceship attack on Albert Labs?" We captured an intruder, but was quickly taken away by someone sent by the Council, and the real identity of that intruder was Felix, son of Hellfire leader Odore, and I sent someone to secretly track him down, and found that he was finally sent back to Hellfire's military base in Veracruz, and you were the one who arranged it all, Councillor Fawkes. β
Because what Patton said was the truth, Fox's expression changed somewhat, and Patton had submitted these relevant evidence to the council, but Fox still didn't understand the meaning of Patton's retelling of these things, and his eyes were still full of puzzlement.
Just quietly listen to Barton continue.
"At that time, Odore's son, Felix was still just a prisoner, and he was helped by you because of his identity, he had not yet become the supreme commander of Hellfire at that time, and was just a pawn in your eyes that had nothing to do with the overall situation, and was not qualified to be your political ally, so at that time, you established a close relationship with the important high-level figures of Hellfire at that time, and everything would have developed according to what you secretly planned, but Felix broke the rules, and the old high-level was purged, Your alliance was forced to be re-established, and one of the people with whom you had formed an alliance before must have been Joseph Eugene. β
After listening to Patton's reasoning, Councillor Fox went from the previous puzzlement to the glint in his eyes, and then finally turned into a smile, stretched out his hands, and one person applauded softly.
"Why don't you think that the person I worked with is directly Odore, but Joseph Eugene?"
"I wasn't sure before, but now that I've come here to meet you, I'm sure. In some specific situations, all your weak expressions or body movements will betray what you want to hide in your heart, you are not a professional in this area, I am sure enough. β
"Hahaha~", Fox laughed dryly, which was a non-positive response to Patton, "I have to admire your cleverness, the famous king of spies, speculation in many aspects, has come close to the truth, but all in all, it is still speculation." β
"So, you'd better cooperate with my work......"
"Hey! Hey! β
Fox immediately waved his hand, interrupting Patton's conceivable clichΓ©, "Okay, Colonel, I swear I'm willing to cooperate with you, you don't even have to threaten me, even if everything you say is right, but I know for sure that I don't know where Joseph Eugene is, not only did I not know before, but now that I'm here, I don't even know what's going on outside the walls." β
"I'm telling the truth," Fox added.
Barton looked carefully at the expression on Fawkes' face before uttering a self-contradictory remark.
"I believe in you."
Patton's trust in Fox seems to have taken a 180-degree turn.
But Patton's next move is even more puzzling.
He opened the door to the cell, which he hadn't locked at all when he first entered, and now he just pushed open the iron door.
"What is this?" Fox looked around, and there was nothing outside the cell.
"One chance, get out of here, no one will come to stop you, after you leave here, the League will issue a hunt warrant for you, you will be the first councillor prisoner to successfully escape from the construction of the Lex Island prison, my men will follow you until we find the clues of Joseph Eugene, you can also get rid of us by any means you can get your hands on, and if you escape, you will be free."
Only then did Councillor Fox realize that Barton was not trying to know anything from him, but was trying to use him as a decoy, a decoy who had lost the protection of the alliance and seemed desperate, and people who wanted to get secrets would come to him, and people who didn't want him to divulge secrets would also come to him, and Barton had cast a net around him, and finding Dr. Eugene became a matter of probability, and the Alliance Intelligence Agency was the best at doing this kind of thing.
This is not a big cost to Barton.
But for Fox, bad luck is worse than being in prison.
"I guess I can't say no to you."
Barton nodded, and said, "The door to this cell will not be locked from now on, if you stay here, other prisoners will soon notice it, and you also know that the violence that has occurred in the history of the Lex Island prison is far more bloody and cruel than the media reported."
Fawkes finally got up from the hard, narrow bed, put on his shoes, and walked in the direction of the iron gate, his body looking a little slumped, and the expression on his face was slightly depressed.
As he passed Patton's side, he stopped and turned his head to speak.
"You're not right."
......
Councillor Freeman Fox, who had just been imprisoned on suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and was serving less than half a day in prison, walked out of the infamous Lex Island prison like an unperceived ghost.
Considering that the elderly Congressman Fox is not as good as the young man's legs, Patton also prepared an old car for him outside the prison in order to facilitate his escape, which is suitable except for the suspension is a little hard and the tire noise is a little loud.
A well-known former politician managed to escape from prison.
This breaking news was first announced by the state media, and then quickly fermented and spread, and spread far and wide.
