Chapter 8 Situation-Based Analysis and Action

Slade has been a little easier in the company these days, and Petz Potz has become depressed since the disappearance of Tony Stark, often going to the bathroom alone. Slade heard from his female colleague that someone had been sobbing quietly in the corner of the women's restroom lately, and Slade thought it might be Ms. Potts.

According to what he has gathered from the news media and other sources, Tony Stark was attacked by terrorists on his way back to the base under the escort of the military after giving a demonstration of his "Jericho" missile to the military. However, the military later found that there was no body of Tony Stark among all the corpses, thus defining Mr. Stark's situation as missing rather than dead.

Slade felt that his boss might not die so easily, after all, wouldn't such a highly intelligent person wear some desperate life-saving body armor or something? But I'm afraid it's still more auspicious.

Mr. Stark's military activities are strictly secret, how could anyone leak his whereabouts? Except for Mr. Stark, no other important person was attacked at the same time during the terrorist attack. Also attending the weapons demonstration were a number of U.S. military bigwigs, including Mr. Stark's good friend, Colonel Rhodes. With so many military biggies unscathed, only Mr. Stark was attacked. Moreover, all the rest of Mr. Stark's convoy were killed except for Mr. Stark. I'm afraid Mr. Stark is the target!

So who has the most motive to commit the crime? I'm afraid there are many people who have a grudge against Mr. Stark, after all, Tony Stark's flamboyant and high-profile personality will indeed anger many people. There are many people who have had unpleasant experiences, but there are probably very few people who hate Mr. Stark to death, and even fewer of them have the ability to know the details of Mr. Stark's whereabouts.

Slade speculated little by little based on the information he had in his hands. The details of Mr. Stark's whereabouts are known only to two people: the top of the U.S. military, and the absolute top of Stark Industries.

Is it possible for the U.S. military to disclose Mr. Stark's whereabouts to terrorists or others? It is possible that Hammer Industries, which competes with Stark Industries for orders from the U.S. government, has been suppressed by Stark Industries, is it that soft egg? It is unlikely that even if the chickens that lay the golden eggs of Stark Industries are removed, Obadia Stein, as the best friend of Stark Industries' founder Howard Stark, can still use his current products to firmly occupy the first leading position in the military industry. Does anyone in the military want to get rid of Tony Stark? It is possible, but the possibility is still slim, after all, Stark Industries' weapons have helped the US military in Afghanistan and other places, not to mention that this company has cooperated with the US government since World War II for more than 70 years, and still few dare to touch it? It seems that if the military leaks the news, few people will benefit? I'm afraid it wasn't the military.

Could it be that Mr. Stark's whereabouts were revealed by the absolute upper echelons of Stark Industries? Now it seems more likely. Although Tony Stark is the CEO, he is actually working as a CTO, and has been concentrating on the development of new high-tech weapons, and has always entrusted all the operations related to Obadia Stein and his secretary Ms. Petts in the company. Most of Stark Industries' shareholders do not hold much of their shares, with Tony Stark and Obadia Stein holding the most shares. So Obadiah Stan should have benefited the most after Tony Stark's death, and the benefit was absolute control of a giant military industry. That said, Obadiah Stein is currently the most motivated person to commit the crime.

Is it possible for Ms. Potts? As Tony Stark's secretary, Ms. Potts knows all of Mr. Stark's secrets, and she probably knows the details of Mr. Stark's whereabouts during the weapons demonstration in Afghanistan. However, Mr. Stark's death did not benefit Ms. Potts, after all, Ms. Potts' high status in Stark Industries was due to Mr. Stark's favor. Mr. Stark's death was destined to bring about the loss of power for Ms. Pertz. This is like the power struggle in the ancient court, if the eunuch can call the wind and rain in the court and cover the sky with one hand, it must be because of the dependence of imperial power; At this time, the most hopeful of killing the eunuchs must be loyal ministers or clan relatives. At this time, if someone wants to touch Tony Stark, Ms. Potts should be the most innocent, after all, everything about Ms. Potts is given by Tony Stark, and Obadia Stan is probably the most suspicious.

But could Obadia Stan and Ms. Petts be complicit? Possibly, although Ms. Potts' eyes were always red these days, and she seemed to have cried or lost sleep. But Slade didn't believe Ms. Potts with complete certainty. After all, knowing people and faces don't know their hearts! It seems that the only way to do this is to conduct your own investigation.

In any case, Obadiah Stan is currently the most suspected. Slade decided to start with him and investigate the cause.

Slade decides to hack into Obadia Stein's computer to see if he can find some clues.

But Slade's computer technology is completely insufficient to hack anyone's computer, and there is no way to do it, either to forcibly steal Obadiastein's computer password, or to find hackers to gain access to Obadiastein's console. In order to prevent his own investigation from being alarmed, Slade decides to choose the latter and find a high-level hacker to hack into Obadiah Stein's computer.

Slade's circle of friends is very narrow: Uncle Stan Lee, Peter Parker and Ned Ritz. Among them, Ned Ritz seems to have said that he is a good hacker.

Slade hurriedly called Ned.

Far away in New York, Ned is enjoying his vacation and has just finished putting together a new Lego product with Peter in the morning. I'm getting ready to start hacking mode and delve into hacking techniques.

Seeing that it was a call from Slade, he quickly picked it up.

"Hello? Is it Slade? Is Los Angeles fun? ”

"I'm here to work, no fun"

"That's right. Huh? Isn't the company you interned at Stark Industrial? Heard that Tony Stark disappeared recently? Ned was a little worried.

"Yes. That's why I'm asking for your help. ”

"Me?" Ned looked surprised.

"Yes, that's you. I need your help me hacking into the computer of Stark Industries' partner, Obadiah Stein. ”

"Huh?" Ned exclaimed, "No, it's illegal. Slade, why did you hack into his computer? ”

Slade reiterates his analysis to Ned.

"Do you think Obadiah Stan is the culprit behind Mr. Stark's disappearance? Even if it's true, don't you think it's better to tell the police? "Ned really doesn't want to do anything illegal.

"Okay, I won't force you" Slade was a little disappointed on the other end of the phone, and hung up the phone after a few words of greeting with Ned.

But this Slade didn't expect that everything he had just analyzed to Ned had been eavesdropped. And this eavesdropper is none other than the secret agency that Slade is looking for, the Homeland Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau.
