Before the investigation begins, Alec decides to pay a visit to the Brotherhood of Mutants.

More specifically, a visit to Eric.

Alec doesn't think Quicksilver's disappearance has anything to do with Magneto, and although the Brotherhood of Mutants is a very extreme organization, Magneto Eric is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person. He hates humans, but his attitude towards mutants is relatively mild, and with Quicksilver being his own son, Eric will not be disappointed to do anything to his own flesh and blood.

What's more, if it was really Magneto who secretly attacked Quicksilver, then he had no reason to let Wanda go at all.

The trio successfully found the Mutant Brotherhood.

The Brotherhood had no intention of letting the three of them into the base to visit, and they waited at the door for a while before Magneto, wearing a helmet, came out of it. Alec glanced at the helmet on Eric's head and said with a slight sneer: "Eric, I'm not Professor Charles, and I don't know any mind control, can you take that broken helmet off?" ”

Eric was unmoved.

"Alec Gage? What are you doing here without guarding the Island City Prison? ”

"I'm looking for someone to ask for."

"Who?"

"Quicksilver."

Eric frowned, and he turned his gaze to Wanda: "Pierrot is missing?" ”

Wanda nodded.

Eric was a little angry: "You asked this guy to find someone for me?" Wanda, do you think I kidnapped Pierrot? ”

Wanda bowed her head, and after a while she replied, "Who else can deal with him but you?" ”

Eric let out a cold snort from his nose.

"He's not with me!"

"Wanda, the Mutant Brotherhood is my career, but don't forget, I'm not only Magneto, but also your father! I will not give up my family for the sake of my career, and I will not assassinate you just because you want to leave the Brotherhood. I know you think I'm radical and hostile to humans, but everything I do is to give mutants a better and fairer living environment......"

Wanda interrupted Eric, "I see. ”

Eric stared at Wanda: "My tirade is so disgusting to you?" ”

"No, I just ...... It's hard to agree with some of your approaches. ”

……

Jessica walked up to Alec and whispered, "He doesn't look like he's lying. ”

Alec nodded, "Well, I can see that...... But if it weren't for Eric, who else would have done it to Quicksilver? ”

"Any clues?"

Alec thought for a moment, nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"Wanda and Charles are very close, she must have looked for Charles before coming to me...... Apparently, Charles failed to find Quicksilver. In other words, the other party has the means to shield the brain waves, which may be a breakthrough. There are only three ways to fight against psychic exploration, shielding, camouflage, and counterattack. I haven't heard of Charles' injury recently, which means that the other party deceived Charles by shielding or disguising him......"

"What comes to mind?"

"Nope." Alec shook his head, "Even Magneto has to use a helmet to shield Charles's mental power, and I can't think of anyone else who can make Charles deflated for the time being." ”

"Anyway, let's check it out first!"

…………

The quarrel between Wanda and Eric was not as intense as Alec imagined.

A little later, the controversy ended peacefully.

Eric didn't make a move, but returned to the base with a group of men with a calm face, while Wanda returned to Alec.

"If it weren't for Eric, who would have been able to deal with Quicksilver...... And Charles? ”

"A lot of people."

Wanda stared at Alec: "What do you mean?" ”

Alec said, "Wanda, you think too much of Pierrot and too much of our enemies...... Do you think no one can beat Pierrot? What I want to tell you is that it is possible for anyone to win against Pierrot. Pierrot's ability is indeed very strong, moving at supersonic speed, even a bullet is not faster than him; But at the same time, he is also weak. He needs to eat, he needs to sleep, he has an older sister who cares about him, and a father who ******...... And these are Achilles' heels, which, if planned properly, can put even an ordinary person on Pierrot. ”

Wanda's face was ugly.

"The question of value is not who can deal with Pierrot, but who can deal with Charles?"

Wanda glanced at Jessica, then turned her gaze to Alec, "Alec, compared to this 'professional detective' you hired, I think you seem to be more like a detective. ”

"You'd be wrong to think so."

"Oh? Why? ”

"What I can tell you is the right way to think; And all she can tell you is the answer. ”

…………

Investigating Pierrot's whereabouts is difficult.

Jessica began her investigation the day before Pierrot's disappearance, but to her devastation, Pierrot's whereabouts could only be described as frenzied. In just one day, he traveled to Columbia University, the Manhattan Bridge, Times Square and other places, of course, what Alec didn't know was that Pierrot even ran to Philadelphia for lunch, and then spent ten minutes running back to New York from Philadelphia.

The distance between the two cities is a full 200 kilometers.

Pierrot, on the other hand, only took ten minutes.

The trio's investigation soon gets bogged down, and Jessica discovers that her usual investigative methods are completely ineffective against Pierrot.

But she quickly changed her mind.

She began to look at the environment, and more specifically, she began to investigate anomalies in the vicinity of Pierrot's residence.

Subsequently, the investigation quickly progressed.

Jessica retrieves footage from cameras near Pierrot's home and finds a breakthrough in the footage, where a group of men disguised as beggars begin spying on Pierrot a few days after Pierrot leaves the Mutant Brotherhood...... It is not difficult to guess what happened next, the gang secretly drugged Pierrot, and in order to prevent him from resisting, they also took his adoptive father and adoptive mother with him.

The footage does not capture Pierrot's attack, but it does show the gang taking him away.

The gang was using army license plates.

There are also militarized weapons.

It is already clear that it was people from the US military who attacked Pierrot. Alec's first thought of an 'old friend', the mutant's nemesis, William Stryker. This old thing disappeared for a long time after a series of failures, and Alec always thought that he had given up on continuing to fight against mutants, but he didn't expect this guy to be like Xiaoqiang, and he popped up again every few days.
