382, Looking for Terrigen (5/10)
After determining that Terrigan's theft was committed by Hydra, Goofy immediately contacted S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, Hydra is S.H.I.E.L.D.'s old enemy, and Nick Fury is also busy purging Hydra after being reappointed as director, and now the Terrigan incident has just linked Goofy and S.H.I.E.L.D., and a new round of cooperation is about to begin.
After the phone call, S.H.I.E.L.D. sent someone to Goofy's office in the afternoon.
Nick Fury has something important to do, and this time it was his old friends Maria Hill and Phil Coulson who came over to contact Goofy.
"I'm sorry, Director Fury has an important meeting with the International Security Council in the afternoon, and they still have some questions to ask about the specific details of the convergence of the celestial bodies a few days ago, so Director Fury can't come in person." Agent Hill politely apologized to Goofy as soon as he walked through the door.
"It's okay, I can understand that. S.H.I.E.L.D. has made outstanding contributions to defending against the alien invasion, and I think your international recognition and status will also increase accordingly, congratulations on your ......," Goofy said with a smile.
"Nothing to congratulate." Agent Hill shook his head with a blank look on his face, "Until S.H.I.E.L.D. completely clears the Hydra from the organization, the higher our international status and greater influence, the greater the potential danger. ”
"That's the truth." Goofy nodded, "Now that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s international status has improved, and the real power in its hands is getting bigger and bigger, I think it has given Hydra a chance to take advantage of." ”
Speaking of which, Goofy remembered that Maria Hill had previously arranged for Coulson to investigate the Hydra infiltration, and he turned to look at Coulson and said hello, "Agent Coulson, hello." ”
"Hello, Officer Goofy." Coulson smiled, "I haven't had a chance to say thank you in person, thank you for helping me before and getting me out of my mental breakdown, thank you very much, Officer Goofy......"
"Don't be so polite, it's just a gesture." Goofy waved his hand and asked, "How's Hydra's investigation?" ”
"Uh......" Coulson didn't report directly to Goofy, but glanced back at Hill, he was asking for Hill's opinion, after all, this is the core secret of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Hill nodded in permission: "Officer Goofy is not an outsider, and there is no need to keep it a secret from him." ”
"At present, we have screened 16 Level 4 agents, 7 Level 5 agents, and 3 Level 7 agents who are suspected of having a Hydra background, and are conducting targeted investigations against them, and once we find key evidence, then we will take them down as soon as possible." Coulson Road.
"What about the higher-ups?" Goofy wasn't interested in the little trash fish, he only cared if the Hydra heads were found out.
"High-level personnel?" Coulson was confused, "You mean ......"
"High-ranking S.H.I.E.L.D., there must be Hydra in this system, please, you didn't think about investigating them, but just caught a few insignificant low-level Hydra agents, right?" Goofy was not satisfied with Coulson's performance and shook his head in criticism.
Coulson was suddenly embarrassed, in fact, he did not grope in the direction of the top during this period of investigation.
First, he doesn't want to startle the snake, and secondly, he doesn't have the courage to play so big, what he pursues is a safe way, first infiltrate from the bottom, and then follow the vine to find out the big boss behind the scenes.
Gao Fei actually saw Coulson's thoughts, and said sharply: "Agent Coulson, I know you want to find out the most basic hydra first, and then investigate all the way up...... But have you ever thought that this is not actually a good idea......"
"The structure of Hydra's entire organization is like a giant spider web, his leader is squatting in the middle of the spider web, and these low-level Hydra agents are like the very edge of the spider web, you want to start from the very edge, touch the middle of the spider web little by little, but in this way, every step you take is touching the spider web, which is equivalent to transmitting an alarm to the leader......"
"In this way, you are equivalent to touching the cobweb, and by the time you touch the middle of the cobweb, the big spider squatting in the center has already run away......"
"Only by starting from the top and going straight to the middle of the cobweb, will the head of the hydra be caught off guard by you without noticing any trouble, do you say? Agent Coulson? ”
Coulson was speechless, he realized that Goofy was right, but now that he had acted, it seemed too late to change his strategy.
Officer Goofy...... I...... Do we have any room for redemption now? ”
Goofy shrugged: "It's hard to say, it depends on how you remedy it next." ”
Agent Hill didn't dwell too much on the matter, instead putting the conversation on track: "Officer Goofy, we might as well focus on Terrigan first. ”
"Yes, Terrigen is a priority." Goofy agreed, then asked, "Do you have any news of Whitehall?" Or if you can find some clues about him, Whitehall has been coveting Terrigan, and he must be the one who stole Terrigan this time. ”
"We've been looking for Whitehall since the events in Puerto Rico, and so far, we've located five of his secret strongholds in the United States." Agent Coulson said proudly.
"Good." Goofy nodded, then asked, "Which is the closest to New York?" ”
"Hmm......" Coulson replied, taking out a tablet he was carrying, opening it, looking for it, "in Philadelphia." But I just checked this base before I came, and there doesn't seem to be any movement here when the celestial bodies converge, so Whitehall shouldn't have stolen Terrigen from here......"
"Whitehall's operation this time is indeed very strange...... "Reed has also checked the New York immigration records, as well as the surveillance footage around the Stark factory, and there are no suspicious trucks coming out of here, as if Whitehall and Hydra can be invisible......
"Wait." At this time, Ciel's eyes lit up, and he asked in a deep voice, "Goofy, you said earlier that there is a meeting point for celestial bodies near the factory where you store Terrigan, right?" ”
"Yes." Goofy nodded, "The Stark factory where Terrigan is stored is next to the Celestial Junction, so we have always wondered if it could be the aliens from Jotunheim who sneaked into Earth along the Celestial Junction and stole Terrigan. ”
"I have another idea...... "Agent Hill said, "if Hydra had mastered the connection between the celestial junctions at the time, would it be possible for them to sneak into Jotunheim from one of the celestial junctions, detour through Jotunheim, drill out of the celestial junction here in New York, steal Terrigan, and then go back the way they came?" ”
"In this way, they are equivalent to using the Celestial Convergence to complete a transportation beyond physical space, and they will not appear in New York City at all, completely evading our surveillance!"
After hearing this, Goofy suddenly realized that this is very possible!
"Well done, Ciel, your judgment is reasonable!"
Agent Hill hurriedly instructed Coulson: "Coulson, find out which of Whitehall's secret strongholds is the closest to the celestial convergence point!" ”
"Roger." Coulson nodded, and immediately began searching and locating.
Soon he found the result: "There is indeed such a stronghold, Agent Hill, and the location of this stronghold is in Los Angeles......"
