For a moment, Zorro thought that Coulson's words were more like those for Ward. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After all, Ward should not know what Zorro said about the base, and he really needs a reason to stay in the team. Everyone on the team has a specialty. Coulson excelled in organization, Fitz specialized in mechanical engineering, Simmons had two PhDs including biochemistry, May was in charge of driving, and Ward had excellent combat and espionage abilities. Even Skye is a super hacker. If Zorro really has the strategic merits, he is a good place to stay. With such a premise, Ward can only accept it even if he is not satisfied.

But if you think about it, this doesn't mean that Coulson is suspicious, repulsive, or even has an opinion about Ward. As far as Zorro knows, Coulson at this time period trusts S.H.I.E.L.D.'s selection process. Compared to Ward, there is no doubt that Zorro is an outsider. If it weren't for the shocking information about Hydra brought by Zorro, Coulson wouldn't have let him stay in the team. This leads to the previous investigation, and the channel is estimated to be monitoring Zorro's behavior on the "bus" during the two weeks through a camera, and the monitor is probably Melinda May. This woman is the most trusted of all Coulson.

Thinking so, Zorro laughed at himself a few words in his heart. He had been a conspirator for so long, accustomed to calculations, and now he wanted to change. Think less and live a little easier.

Well, you still have to show your value first.

Zorro had a document in his hand with many photographs of the frontline scene. There are a lot of corpses in the photo, and there are various ways of death, some are divided, some are bloodletting, some are headshots, and the means are very bloody and violent. The most exaggerated was that one of the bodies was identified as being burned alive. Listening to Coulson and Simmons' analysis, combined with the transcripts in the documents, these corpses have one thing in common, that is, they were all criminals in their lifetimes, at least the kind with criminal records. Strictly speaking, it is generally accepted that the crime committed is large enough, but the sentence is not severe enough. For example, killing someone but being found guilty of negligence, and so on. There are also cases where the charges are withdrawn because of insufficient evidence, such as some underworld bosses. In addition, there is another category of the most special, that is, a considerable number of people feel that the corresponding punishment under the existing law is simply not enough to offset the crime -- drug trafficking to minors, Jian killing, etc. And this one, at the hands of the murderer, is the worst death.

"So we're dealing with a vigilante." Seeing this, Zorro said this.

Coulson patted his forehead: "In the case that the other party uses all kinds of cruel means, I will not call it a 'vigilante', but a cold-blooded killer." The problem now is that the deceased are not from the same gang or from the same prison. Their criminal cases are not handled by the same court, nor are they prosecuted by the same district prosecutor. Even if the deceased did not come from or lived in the same place, there is no geographical order relationship, and a reasonable route cannot be drawn. It felt like the murderer was just wandering around California and didn't happen to meet a single criminal worthy of his shot. ”

It sounds like it's not about strategy, it's about detective tactics.

"Maybe he's really messing around." Zorro shrugged, "You guys should have a roadmap for that, right?" ”

"Just waiting for you to ask!" As soon as he finished speaking, Skye clicked several times on her tablet. Then a picture appeared on the big screen.

In the background is a map of California, with dots that don't seem too dense connected by straight lines. Each line is marked with a direction, which indicates the order of precedence. Seeing this roadmap that was even messier than a ball of twine, Zorro frowned.

"Well, I thought the route was going to be a pattern with some kind of meaning, religion or some kind of ritual formation or something. There is no doubt that I was thinking too simply. With that, he thought for a moment. Have you tried to cross-compare all the victims, or the main victims, excluding the gang leaders' men? Habits, hobbies, colors, time of crime, and even whether or not you have been somewhere, etc., all the information that can be obtained is put into a comparison model and calculated by computer. ”

Coulson looked at them, then at Skye.

Skye rolled her eyes, "It's a big job. But if you need to, I can give it a try. ”

"Go for it!" Coulson immediately made a decision.

"It's not convenient to write code on a tablet, so I'll go get my laptop first."

With that, Skye was about to rush out. As a result, Zorro called out to her.

"Remember to use their names as well. It's possible that their names have something in common, or that the names of the dead can be spelled out in code. ”

After listening, Skye made an OK gesture and left the main control center.

Zorro retracted his gaze and put it back on the document: "As Skye said, her side will be a relatively large project, so much information entry and model building. That would take a while, at least twenty-four hours. In the meantime, we can't do nothing, and even have to plan for the lack of gains from Skye's side, and the path of action of that vigilante really has no logic at all. ”

Coulson nodded solemnly.

"But what can we do?" Ward said. He looked at Zorro, still with the same attitude of not approaching people. "We forced the gangsters to cooperate, and we also got the criminals to cooperate, and set all kinds of traps, and the other party did not take the bait. We've already done what needs to be done, so how else can we get started? ”

Seeing Ward speak so bluntly, and with a faint hostility, Coulson had a little headache. There were some things he couldn't say, especially when he tried his best to override the "crowd" and successively included Skye and Zorro, who were not trained by the S.H.I.E.L.D. system.

And Melinda May has no such scruples. She glanced at Coulson, who had been cold, and then came out to play the round.

"We can go to Skye and see if she needs help entering the information of the dead and speed up the process." "We can also go to the prisons where the dead stayed or other places and see if we can dig up more of what is not on the file," she said in as calm a tone as possible. It's been a little over a month since the beginning, and we can be a little more patient. ”

As soon as May finished speaking, Fitz and Simmons nodded busily. The two young men were really afraid to see their teammates quarreling.

Zorro smiled softly.

"Actually, there is one more thing that can be done. Aside from the fact that the targets were all criminals, there seemed to be no logic to the vigilante's methods, but there was one thing that was the premise of his doing this, or the basis for him to kill so many criminals. That is, he must have a list of criminals in his hands, or something equivalent. So, unless he is like a mythical beast in Oriental Chinese mythology and can judge whether a person is guilty or not by a simple touch, you should track down those who are qualified to have a list of criminals - prison officers, judges, district attorneys' offices, file centers, police stations, and so on. It sounds like a lot of people here, and it seems like a big project, but considering that the vigilante's crime area is so large, and it affects criminals from all over the world, you just need to track down the top people. ”
