141, Fury's suspicion
Night covered the land, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
On the banks of the Potomac River, the iconic building of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s headquarters, the Trident Building, across the river from the Washington Monument, is the famous Lincoln Memorial, a Greek temple-like building made of white granite and marble.
Nick Fury strode into the office, followed by his henchman Coulson, the one-eyed director has set his sights on the Fantastic Four since inviting Tony Stark to join S.H.I.E.L.D., but Reed is reluctant to work closely with government departments, preferring to be a scientist who is immersed in research.
The first phase of the Avengers project was temporarily faced with an embarrassing situation, which made Nick Fury, who was originally confident, feel a headache, and finally let the World Security Council approve the plan, but suddenly encountered difficulties in recruiting manpower, which is undoubtedly a great irony.
Fortunately, there is also good news, as the war hero who has been sleeping for seventy years awakens, the Avengers have finally found their first member, a super soldier from World War II, Captain America with a strong will and good morals.
Those government officials don't take an outdated war hero seriously, and the military thinks about how to crack the secrets of super soldiers from Captain America, and only S.H.I.E.L.D. can stop everything, so the tall man named Steve Rogers became a member of this secret agency.
"Captain Rogers is out today." Coulson, who entered the office, reported.
This legendary figure, who is a household name in almost all of the United States, really woke up not long ago, and because of a misunderstanding, he made a lot of oolong, after regaining consciousness, perhaps because of his former military nature, Steve Rogers is very cooperative with S.H.I.E.L.D. various examinations, even including weekly psychological tests.
This makes Nick Fury very satisfied, in fact, he doesn't like unruly prodigals like Tony Stark, who can always get into a lot of trouble, while Steve, who is known as Captain America, is different, as long as it is a reasonable request, the other party is willing to do it, even if it is to deal with some White House officials and military personnel.
"He's the best soldier in the world, and we don't need to worry about him leaving or disappearing."
Fury sat in a black chair, since the last time Stryker's plan failed, Magneto's brotherhood seemed to have disappeared, and Westchester's mutant academy was also quite peaceful, which made the black director who was worried about what trouble would happen, and the boulder in his heart was quietly put down.
"Captain Rogers is just going out for a walk, don't be so nervous, for a soldier who has been sleeping for seventy years, the war is over, and he has nowhere to go."
Coulson nodded silently, thinking that he didn't know when he would have the opportunity to sign an idol. He has been influenced by comics since he was a child, and has collected a bunch of small cards from Captain America, and is an absolute true love fan.
"Where's Stark's playboy?" Fury pondered for a moment and asked again.
He still hasn't given up the idea of pulling Iron Man into the Avengers, in addition to the steel armor with strong combat ability, the black director attaches more importance to the other party's scientific research ability.
"Busy holding the fair, and judging by his physical condition, the symptoms of palladium poisoning seem to have been alleviated." Coulson shook his head, the playboy was really hard to approach, and even if he had a good relationship with Miss Potts, it would be difficult to get any information.
Nick Fury's face couldn't be seen good or bad, he thought for a moment, and asked Coulson to bring up the information about Sean Sypers, and emphasized that it was a paper document.
"Whether it's a database or a video material, it's sometimes unreliable, and this old way is often safer." Fury looked at the file boxes that his men had brought in.
If you look at it from the perspective of an onlooker, this is the legendary story of a no-name boy who started from scratch, and if it falls into the hands of a reporter, he can write a plot twist and turn, and the process of inspirational chicken soup for the soul can win the tears and emotion of most readers.
But Nick Fury is an experienced agent with a keen sense of smell and precise judgment, and the last remaining one-eyed essence flickered, like a very patient veteran hunter, tracking down his prey hidden in the dark.
"Coulson, do you believe that such a person exists in this world?"
Fury picked up the document and sneered: "Both parents died, and he finished high school with a large amount of compensation, showed his talent in college, and developed promising gene drugs with down-and-out scientists...... He had almost no vices, neither drunkenness nor sensuality, no arrogance of youth, mild-mannered, modest and decent...... If such a person were to run for president, even I would want to vote for him. ”
Coulson couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he had read the information and didn't find anything abnormal, but when he heard the chief say this, it seemed to ...... Something too perfect?
Drawing a holographic miniature map, Nick Fury kept clicking on it, then making a mark, muttering to himself, "Gangster vendetta...... Frank Damico on the West Coast, Sean Siperth was on a graduation trip with Harry Osborne and the others......"
"Osborne Industries' share price slipped and Kurt Connors' lab was repossessed...... Getting an unexpected capital injection, interesting, is funded by James Wesley, the Hell's Kitchen estate mogul who used to work for Wilson Fisk...... Coincidentally, Mr. Fiske, known as Kim Ji, was killed in a terrorist attack. ”
Red circles were marked one by one, and with his keen instincts, coupled with the massive resources mobilized by S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury easily caught the clues, like a hunter quietly tracking along the trails of the grass.
"Hand Clan...... Fantastic Four ...... The fall of Watsonton...... Mutant Defense Project Team ...... Dam base of Lake Akaria...... Stryker killed...... Mutants disappear! ”
As the marking was completed, an invisible net was connected, and at the center was the young man with a gentle smile, Fury lowered his voice and said fiercely, "I found you!" ”
Coulson witnessed all this, and a chill gushed out in his heart inexplicably, he had seen Sean Sypers, whether in terms of his actions or personal impressions, the other party was an excellent young man.
But who would have thought that Nick Fury, as the director, would be able to find so many hidden clues from a trace of suspicion. No one but an experienced secret service leader would associate a promising New York genius with someone behind the scenes who secretly kept a secret secret.
"We don't have enough evidence." Coulson cautiously reminded that "James Wesley's funding was transferred to the official account of the State University of New York and claimed to be a charity fundraiser, and the night Frank D'Amico was killed, it is certain that Sean Sipers stayed in the room all night, and none of the cameras captured the killer's face." ”
Maybe Nick Fury's guess is correct, but S.H.I.E.L.D. does not have sufficient evidence, and all the connections established by the black director are just specious inferences, which may be logically correct, but from another point of view, it can also be called unjustified speculation.
Fury's eyes flashed with thought, he tapped on the table, staring at the holographic projection with blazing eyes, Sean in the center smiled brightly, no one would think that this young man had an unknown side.
"No one can hide themselves perfectly, just like the path of a wild beast, there will always be some insignificant traces."
The black director's one-eyed eyes showed a hint of coldness, he looked at Coulson, and said in a deep voice: "Soon we will know what this dazzling New York genius like the sun is like." ”
