The atmosphere in the cabin was quiet.

Luke leaned back in the sofa chair behind him, his face turned sideways, looking at the view outside the cabin as he savored the bourbon in his hand.

Hill, who was sitting opposite, was intently flipping through the information in his hand about the Sawyer family, that is, the family of Heather Miller's biological parents, and then picked up the wine on the side from time to time and sipped it lightly.

Neither bothered each other.

They all seem to have the most important private space for each other.

But......

It's a game.

No doubt.

And there is only one rule of the game.

Whoever speaks first, loses first.

Luke felt that his odds were pretty good.

The real reason why Hill is in New York, and why he happens to be going to Texas so well, Luke knows very well.

It's just that......

He didn't quite understand it.

Did I show a flaw somewhere?

It shouldn't be.

It was Xu Wenwu who went to Texas before, and there was also a clone of Jack who was a little older.

He was far away in Eastern Europe, and Jack Benger had been in Los Santos.

It stands to reason that he also has a very reasonable excuse for going to Texas this time, and Maria Hill should not be so concerned.

But looking at Hill's posture, it's like that, it's approaching the exam, but it's the kind of posture where you already know the exam questions the day before, but you don't know the results.

So!

Is there a leak of the rumors?

Luke thought thoughtfully.

That's when it happened.

Smack.

Luke came back to his senses and raised an eyebrow as he looked at Maria Hill, who had coldly closed the information in his hand.

Yo, looks like I won.

But......

Mary Hill closed the data, didn't say anything, with an expression on her face that seemed to have found something, got up, left the data where she was, did not take it with her, but seemed to be in a hurry and walked down to the spiral staircase of the cabin leading not far away.

Luke turned his head to look at Ciel, who had disappeared into the spiral staircase, and then turned his head to look at the document that had been placed in front of him, his eyes flickering.

He now suspects Hill fishing.

Catch him as a gentleman's big fish.

However, Luke thought back to the time when Hill had just left, and his face didn't seem to be fake, but seemed to really find something amazing, thought about it, put Bourbon aside, and took the information that Hill left on the table.

That is, the information of Heather Miller's biological parents' family, the Sawyer family.

Luke knew that Heather's original name was Sawyer.

When Heather told him that she had received her grandmother's inheritance, Debbie gave him the information.

Debbie also searched for information on the Sawyer family.

Luke didn't ask.

The reason is simple.

It is Heather who has something to do with him, and it is not the Sawyer family, so he didn't go to see the information of the Sawyer family, but just heard Debbie mention that Heather's biological parents suffered a fire in the year she was born and all died.

At that time, the residents of the local town ran to put out the fire, but unfortunately, they only rescued Heather, and the rest were unfortunately killed.

Afterwards, Heather's current adoptive father, Mr. Miller, adopted Heather and then raised Heather.

But for now?

Luke flipped through the information on the "Sawyer Family" in his hand, especially when he saw the testimony of the townspeople at that time, and his face also showed a look of interest.

Very simple.

These testimonies were falsified.

To be exact, there was one count, and the thirty-five people who went to put out the fire at that time, including Mr. Miller, Heather's adoptive father, all lied about their confessions.

The evidence is that the confessions of these 35 people cannot be said to be the same, but they can also be said to be exactly the same.

Even the time to rush to the scene of the fire was exactly the same.

But as a result, the local police station believed the 35 points of the identical testimony, and the case was closed directly as an accidental fire.

It's as if even the local police station knows about this and is willing to cooperate with these people to close the case as soon as possible.

That's interesting.

Luke raised his eyebrows, also closed the materials in his hand, got up, and walked straight towards the spiral staircase leading to the lower cabin not far away.

The layout of Hill's Aegis plane is similar to that of Seifer's Flying Fortress.

The cabin is divided into two floors, the upper deck rests, and the lower deck, where the air command center is located.

As Ruke descended the stairs, he saw Hill with his arms folded, video calling Natasha Romanloff and Commander Victoria Hand, who appeared on the big screen.

Natasha looked at Luke who came out behind Ciel, and suddenly stopped saying hello.

"Good day, Director Dane."

"Good day."

Luke walked up to Hill and smiled at Natasha on the big screen, then his eyes fell on Commander Victoria Hand, "Good day, Commander Hand." ”

Commander Hand, who was in charge of the S.H.I.E.L.D. center in New York, also greeted with a smile.

Luke said directly: "Sawyer family, did you find anything in that fire?" ”

Natasha and Commander Hand glanced at each other for a moment, then looked at Ciel next to Luke without saying a word.

Just as there is only one sun in Jack's heart, there will always be only one moon in the hearts of Natasha and Commander Hand.

Hill looked at Ruke on the side with a smile: "Director Dane, peek at the classified documents of Aegis, but it's a felony in the Federation." ”

Luke laughed, "Federal charges, Commander Hill, the right to interpret federal charges, but it's with me." ”

Hill turned sideways and looked at Luke, "When did Director Dane become the Supreme Court?" ”

Luke also turned around and looked at Hill with a smile: "When did Commander Hill's Aegis have the legal law enforcement authority of the Federation?" ”

As everyone knows.

Only federal law enforcement agencies can charge others with federal crimes.

S.H.I.E.L.D., A LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY THAT HAS NOT FILED A CASE IN THE FEDERAL HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, EVEN IF IT IS BACKED BY THE FIVE HEGEMONS, IT IS ALSO CALLED PHEASANT LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE FEDERATION.

Impersonating federal law enforcement is a federal felony.

As long as you want.

Ruke, the state director of the FBI, can completely ban S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hill and Luke, their eyes facing each other, their eyes staring at each other.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the cabin bowed their heads, as if they were deaf and blind.

On the big screen, Natasha and Commander Hand were crossed in arms, their eyes wide open, as if they were watching this scene with great interest.

Half ringing.

Hill retracted his gaze: "Pause? ”

Luke also retracted his gaze: "I agree." ”

Hill nodded, his gaze falling back on the big screen: "Report it." ”

Natasha and Commander Hand come back to their senses.

Commander Hand took the information handed over by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents outside the camera and spoke first.

"I asked the agents to read the news about the year of the Sawyer family's fire."

"According to the closing report of the local fire department."

"It was already three o'clock in the night when they received the alarm, and after they went out to the police, they arrived in about half an hour, and the fire was already very large and uncontrollable, and when the fire was extinguished, eight bodies were found from inside afterwards."

"Residents?"

"When the fire department arrived, 35 nearby residents were already on the scene and were involved in extinguishing the fire."

“……”

Hearing this, Hill frowned, nodded, and looked at Natasha: "Go on." ”

Natasha also looked down at the information in front of her.

Today is Melinda May and her husband's wedding anniversary, so I'm on leave, so it's Natasha's substitute.

"I asked people to compile the news that year was all about the fire."

"Found this."

Natasha said as she motioned to the agent to project a number of yellowed newspaper electronic versions onto the interface.

There are many reports, and the time span has been pushed forward by five years, ending with the fire of the Sawyer family.

And in these five years, based on the content of these reports, one thing can be determined.

A serial murderer has appeared in the local area.

Wrong.

To be more precise, a serial chainsaw massacre.

"The earliest bodies were found on September 12, five years before the Sawyer family fire."

"The owners of the six bodies were six backpackers who had come from other states on foot."

"The death is miserable."

As he spoke, the on-site photos taken that year were instantly projected on the big screen.

But......

The agents who can be in the Commander Hill Air Command Center are all agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and their psychological quality can be said to be very satisfying to see these horrific photos of the scene.

The same goes for Luke and Hill, who are completely unaffected.

Natasha's words continued.

According to the information obtained by Natasha, after this first murder, the frequency of such similar cases began to become active.

But the criminals' modus operandi has also changed, and in the second murder scene, they only found bloodstains and the victim's clothing, but not the body.

And the criminals seem to be professional, but because of the professionalism of the criminals and the limitations of the times, the local police station has found nothing despite the additional staff.

The reason why they call it a chainsaw murderer is because in the seventeenth case, they finally met a living survivor.

To be precise, a survivor with only one breath left.

The survivor's hands had been sawed off, and even his waist had traces of chainsaws, so he hiccuped without asking anything.

In the past five years, this chainsaw murderer has at least created hundreds of cases, and once made the local townspeople choose to leave.

Until the fire broke out in the Sawyer family.

"According to relevant materials and information."

"This chainsaw murderer hasn't committed a crime since the fire in the Sawyer family."

"And the almost unanimous confession of the townspeople."

"Obviously."

"Commander, the fire of the Sawyer family is not an accident."
