In Hill's opinion, Ling Xiao didn't really realize the value of these potions, and if these potions could really play a role in treating nuclear radiation, then their economic value would be in the hundreds of millions. Of course, the scarcity of production is one of the obstacles restricting the maturity and development of this drug, if those drug manufacturers in the world know about the existence of this kind of thing, I am afraid that Ling Xiao will be surrounded here.

However, Hill quickly extinguished this idea, and if this really happened, it would also mean that the problems within S.H.I.E.L.D. would be very serious.

"Also, you have to remember that the mouth of the bottle cannot be opened easily, once opened, the medicinal effect inside will easily evaporate, and in addition, it must be kept in an environment of more than minus 30 degrees." Ling Xiao admonished with a serious face.

"I see." Ciel nodded slightly, rubbing the slightly cold bottle mouth with both hands, and then put it into the incubator provided by Ling Xiao.

"Give!" Before leaving, Ling Xiao threw a bottle of diluted water essence and gave it to Hill: "You can mix this thing in the mask and use it, it will be very good for your skin, don't wear this kind of old-fashioned makeup in the future, you are not very old, why are you so bad." ”

"You!" Ling Xiao's words made Hill speechless, the worries in her mind just now disappeared in an instant, at this time, she longed for countless troubles to find Ling Xiao.

"Goodbye." Ciel gritted her teeth and burst out two words, and then left with a cold face, but the diluted bottle of water essence was held tightly in her hand.

After Hill left, Ling Xiao's face slowly sank, although today is just a transaction, everyone is testing each other, each has its own purpose, but everyone is on the same page in the general direction, so that they can reach a compromise with each other.

Ling Xiao can actually buy a small private jet, but how can that kind of thing compare to the butterfly flying machine that S.H.I.E.L.D. can take off vertically.

The X-Men had a goose-shaped flying machine, and later the Avengers had a Kun-style flying machine, and Ling Xiao wanted to have a butterfly-shaped flying machine of his own, which was not too much. Moreover, the stealth system must also be installed, and the internal electronic system must also be modified, which of course will trouble Stark.

After Hill left, Ling Xiao's life returned to peace, and the Battle of Manhattan gave Ling Xiao a clear understanding of some changes after he broke through the innate realm, some of his previous cultivation habits and fighting methods had to be adjusted, and even the magic circles arranged in the medicine shop and villa had to be changed accordingly, after doing all this, Ling Xiao's survival and combat ability had been greatly improved.

This is an election year, so the first phase of the U.S. presidential election, the primaries, begins in January and ends in June, during which party candidates will compete for their party's presidential nomination.

Until July and August, the two major political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican, held their national conventions respectively to finalize their presidential and vice presidential candidates, and to discuss and adopt presidential election platforms.

Los Angeles Mayor Robert Wellington James publicly announced his candidacy for president at the end of last year, and with his qualifications, he will be one of the key figures in his party's presidential race. Of course, his opponents are just as strong, and there are many strong opponents in his party alone, such as the governor of Massachusetts, senators, former senators, etc., and it is not easy to get the presidential nomination in his party.

At the beginning of April, the caucuses were in full swing, and Beckett, who had been paying attention to these things, suddenly came to the door on this day and found Ling Xiao.

In the living room of the villa, Ling Xiao casually threw a can of iced Coke to Beckett, and then asked with curiosity: "Catherine, you are not going to do it to Mayor James now, will it be a little early?" ”

Beckett shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I'm going to do something to him, it's that he's already in trouble." ”

It turned out that a few days ago, the Los Angeles Police Department received a case in which a woman named Laura was found dead in a car in a secluded alley.

The case was eventually sent to Beckett, who investigated and found that the car belonged to City Hall, and that the last person to use it was Mayor Robert Wellington James.

Bertke took Richard to visit Mayor James in person, but James obviously didn't take the case to heart, and now he and his team were busy with campaign work, so after a few pleasantries, the two were sent to his chief of staff.

The mayor's chief of staff obviously took this case much more seriously, and he knew that once the mayor was involved in the homicide investigation, then the opponent would inevitably set off a storm of public opinion about the "murderer", and in the end, no matter how things developed, Mayor James would be affected quite negatively. So he did things very carefully, not only explaining the ins and outs of the car, but even preparing many personal statements of relevant people in advance.

Of course, these things are made by themselves, but Beckett didn't believe any of them, and started his own investigation without even looking at them.

Knowing that the mayor was involved in the murder dispute, many people began to say hello, some of them said that the mayor could not commit the crime, and some demanded that Beckett should not be interfered with by any outside world and must handle the case impartially.

And this is only because the vehicle used in one of the murders belonged to the city hall, and it happened that the mayor himself used the car on the record that day.

The truth of the matter is still unknown, and there is not even real evidence that the mayor is suspicious, and this alone has so many people paying attention, that is, it is now the time of the general election, otherwise not many people usually ask about this kind of thing.

Laura Cambridge, the woman neither the mayor nor his subordinates claimed to know, was gradually revealed after Beckett's investigation.

Six months ago, Laura Cambridge was a professor at the City University of Los Angeles, and suddenly, for unknown reasons, the rising star of the university resigned inexplicably, and after that, her friends and colleagues lost contact with her.

Not only that, but she also canceled her cell phone and credit cards, and the police were able to find only pay checks from fast-food restaurants, laundries, and office cleaning companies, as if she couldn't stay in a job for long.

Later, Beckett and the others also found Laura's residence, and after searching, they found that there were no valuable clues in it, but they learned from the landlord's mouth that there was indeed a man who left here last night, Caucasian, six feet tall, with long dark hair, just at the time when Laura was killed.

For such a man, Laura's sister said that she had never heard her sister talk about this person, and her sister did not have a boyfriend or a dating partner.

The relationship between the two sisters had been good before, but just half a year ago, Laura began to call her sister infrequently, and her life went off the beaten track, giving up her teaching career and moving from an apartment on the Upper West Side to the kind of cheap apartment she lives in now.

For all this, Laura finally called her sister three days ago to tell her. On the other end of the phone, she was a little depressed, saying that she was in some kind of trouble because of something at work, but what it was, but she just said that it was too dangerous to tell her sister.

And this so-called mysterious work, after an afternoon of investigation, was finally found out. Laura's place of work turns out to be a pornographic phone, and there, they find out the real reason why Laura is in danger: Laura hears something from one of her clients that she shouldn't know.

As more and more attention was paid to the case, and the police investigation became smoother and smoother, they finally found the reason for Laura's change half a year ago: in order to write a book that reflected some of the injustices in today's society, Laura quit her original job to experience the life of the poor.

Earlier, Laura told the editor that she had uncovered a scandal involving a prominent figure, and that person was the mayor of Los Angeles.

At the same time, the forensic doctor found a trace of clothing fiber in Laura's mouth, which was also confirmed to be consistent with the coat that Mayor James wore last night, and everything proved that Mayor James lied.
