Chapter 331 The most suitable person to be a detective

Favor debt is a very strange concept.

Not to mention gentlemen with high moral standards, even thieves, robbers, and even criminals with low moral standards often feel guilty because they owe debts to people and cannot repay them.

People who owe favors but deliberately fail to repay them are often despised by everyone around them.

There is no clear material standard to measure the amount of favor debt, and it is not recognized by any legal provisions. However, it is restrained by a more powerful force that cannot be ignored; this is a criterion that is vaguer and more stringent than the standard of legal judgment. strict social moral standards.

In the United States, collecting debts of favor is a more justified act than collecting debts of money.

John "Thunderbird" Proudstar could not refuse to ask for a favor, even though the debt came much earlier than he expected.

It was less than ten days ago that Xiang Xiang helped him and his friends escape the pursuit of the "Sentinel" and assisted in rescuing his arrested companions; and it was only a week that John helped Shen Ran drain the black money from the drug gang. .

This Indian man didn't even have time to get familiar with the environment of the college before he came to the door.

"I need your superpower to help me find someone." Xiang Qian got straight to the point, "A criminal who has committed dozens of murders and terrorist attacks."

John hesitated: "It sounds like this person is very dangerous."

"This person is indeed dangerous, but you only need to find someone. Someone else will be responsible for arresting him. The biggest trouble you may encounter is that there are insufficient clues and information to find the person."

A guarantee has been made forward, making it difficult for John to continue to refuse - this is another unique feature of favor debt; although favor debt cannot be calculated using material weights and measures, both parties who owe the debt and collect the debt can usually Reach a tacit consensus on the method of repayment.

For example, when John faced Qianqian, although the former helped the latter find the black money of drug dealers, both parties believed that these things alone were not enough to repay the huge favor that Qianqian provided to John, Lorna and others.

Repaying too little, or asking for too much, is equally despised.

The person who needs John's help to find is the Winter Soldier who is identified as the person who assassinated Howard Stark and his wife.

During the destruction of Project Insight, this elusive assassin briefly appeared at SHIELD headquarters and participated in the final battle.

After the battle, most of Alexander Pierce's key henchmen were killed or arrested. The few who managed to escape also had clear clues for further pursuit, but there was no news about the Winter Soldier and he disappeared completely.

Judging from the past results of intelligence agencies from various countries tracking down the "Winter Soldier", this mysterious assassin has never left any usable information or valid identity evidence, nor has he ever left any witnesses alive who have seen his true face - Xiang Xiang is best at All investigative methods are useless.

Right now, the mutant superpowers of "Thunderbird" have become one of the few effective methods.

The only thing that can be considered is that the tracking ability of the "Thunderbird" is limited, and the target needs to leave relatively clear traces as a medium.

The smaller the trace, or the longer the time interval, the more difficult it is to track. So in order to rush for time, Qiang Xiang hurriedly took John out of X College and rushed to a hospital in New York without even having time to say a few words to Phoenix Girl. .

Captain Rogers - the younger one - was seriously injured in the final battle at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and is now lying in the hospital ward.

However, it is not easy to meet Captain Rogers.

This superhero, who was put on the altar by the god-making movement and fought bloody battles in the Battle of New York and the Hydra Conspiracy to turn the tide, is the treasure of the U.S. government and military.

In order to enter the captain's ward, Qianqian even asked Tony to join him. As a comrade of the captain, the famous Iron Man wanted to enter the ward to visit the captain and send a bouquet of flowers to the patient. He couldn't even refuse such a request, right?

In addition to Captain Rogers lying in the ward, there was also a black soldier sitting in the ward. When Xiang Qian and others came in, he introduced himself as retired Air Force Sergeant Sam Wilson.

Sam was not the kind of rigid-minded soldier. His subsequent conversations with everyone also showed that he not only recognized Xiang Qian and Tony, two playboys and billionaires, but also knew the relationship between them and the captain.

The relationship is far and near, and they show different attitudes towards the two people.

However, Sam Wilson is not the protagonist in the ward today.

When "Thunderbird" pressed the wound on Captain Rogers' head with his palm, so much so that the captain groaned unconsciously due to the pain while in coma, Tony couldn't help his bad mouth and raised a provocation from the side.

Question like: "What is he doing, using Indian witchcraft to treat Steve?"

"We generally call what you call 'witchcraft' 'tradition'." John countered Tony's ridicule with a stern face.

Tony never admits defeat easily: "Not every tradition is worth inheriting."

"That's because you never know how to respect tradition." John's tone became a little more serious. "It's like you white people roast a turkey every Thanksgiving, but you forget who you should express your gratitude to."

Tony Stark may not be afraid of anyone when it comes to science and technology, but when it comes to history, he can only cheat through Jarvis. But it would be too shameful to temporarily turn on the intelligent program at the moment, and Tony guessed based on his intuition.

Neck asked: "Aren't you grateful to God?"

"God will not give you seeds and farm tools, let alone hand you hunting and fishing. When white people celebrated Thanksgiving for the first time, if there really is a God, then this God must be an Indian." John's

There was already a bit of anger in his tone.

Tony's face turned red and he muttered: "So the person standing here is not a tribal doctor, but a history teacher?"

"Tony, John is here to help today." Qianqian had to step in to smooth things over, "John, I'm sorry to bother you."

Seeing Tony shut his mouth, "Thunderbird" didn't hesitate and concentrated on sensing the wound on the captain's head.

Sam Wilson on the side was actually equally puzzled, but his attitude when asking the question was much better than Tony: "What is he doing?"

"Trying to track down the man who injured the captain."

"You mean the man with a metal prosthetic leg? Can he be traced that way?"

"I can only say that it is possible. John is a mutant. He can track the person who left the traces based on tiny traces. The injuries on the captain's body should be all caused by the same person, right?" Looking forward

Sam, "Have you seen that person too? I heard you just mentioned a person with metal prostheses. Can you elaborate a little bit more?"

"I only met that man twice, but I left a deep impression." Sam recalled his contact with the "Winter Soldier" and was still frightened; "White man, about thirty years old; his left hand is a metal prosthesis, but it is very flexible and can

The real arm is no different, it should be some kind of high-tech product."

Qian Qian asked: "What are his facial features?"

"The time I had in contact with him was very limited; he was wearing a mask at first and his hair was disheveled. I wasn't impressed by his appearance, but..." There was still fear in Sam's words, "If you ask me, the other person was not very impressed.

Not like a human being, but more like a machine, a machine that can only kill people. You can't see any human expression on his face, only the indifference of a machine."

At this time, the "Thunderbird" standing at the head of the bed suddenly opened his eyes: "Found it."

"Where?" Xiang Qian asked hurriedly.

"It should be a small cargo port; I saw cranes and containers."

"The target is preparing to leave the United States." Qiang Xiang made an immediate judgment, "He must be stopped!"

Tony felt it was time to show his strength and save some face; he asked: "Do you remember the environment of the port? I will find aerial photos of all the small and medium-sized cargo terminals on the East Coast, and we will compare them one by one." He said and got ready.

Give orders to Jarvis.

"Don't bother, I just 'saw' the road sign outside the port." John stared coldly, "Searching for a highway name should be faster than looking at a photo, right?"

Tony stopped contacting Jarvis with some embarrassment, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally said angrily: "It seems that the most suitable career for you is not a history teacher, but a detective or a police officer."

.”

"I'm a mutant; in Arizona, people like us come into a police station for one reason only - to get arrested by those son-of-a-bitch cops."

"How is it possible? There is no law that would convict a person because of mutant genes." Tony, who had been losing face continuously, was ready to confront the Indian.

Unfortunately, his billions of wealth and sharp tongue cannot change some bad systems and realities.

"There is also no law that would convict a person because of his skin color!" John retorted, "Why don't you ask Sergeant Sam how many times he was stopped by the police when he was growing up - just because he looked dark?"

"Hey, you two, don't involve me in your quarrel, let alone my skin color." Sam suffered a disaster out of thin air, and his seemingly joking words actually contained a bit of anger.

"Tony, I said, John is here to help." Qiang Xiang reminded again, "To a certain extent, you should also thank him."

Tony was unhappy: "What? He is here to help you, not me. I am also here to help you, not me. You can't even enter the ward. Of course, Steve should probably treat him

Say thank you."

Xiang Xiang knew that Tony was angry because he had lost face. He did not answer his words immediately, but said to John, "Can I, Tony, talk to me in private? You can wait for us in the car."

After John left, Xiang Xiang had to reject Sergeant Sam, who volunteered to participate in the capture of the "Winter Soldier": "Sergeant, you assisted the captain in fighting Hydra. I trust you; but because of this matter, you are now

You are also facing censorship. If you get involved, too many people will be alarmed."

After walking out of the ward, before the door behind him closed, Tony couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and mumbled and asked: "Man, what's the matter with you? I just embarrassed myself enough, you shouldn't

Are you on my side?"

"On your side? Could it be that after Iron Man lost the quarrel, he still wanted to drag someone into a fight with others?" Qiang Xiang was angry and funny at the same time.

"Then I can't thank him anymore, can I?"

"But what he did deserves a thank you."

Tony's eyes widened in dissatisfaction: "Give me a reason!"

"Howard and Mary, is this reason enough? Do you remember what Obadiah Stane said about how he murdered Howard?" He looked forward with a solemn expression, without a trace of smile on his face.

Tony is so smart that he didn't know anything about it. After being reminded forward at this moment, he almost understood: "Hydra? The person who cooperated with Stan to murder my parents at that time was Hydra?"

"It's just a guess at the moment, but it's the most likely one." Xiang Qian said, "Stan wants to control Stark Industries, and Hydra wants to control SHIELD. They naturally have the basis for cooperation. And we

We already have some evidence.”

"What evidence?"

Qianqian lowered his voice, and what he said next could not be made public: "When I kidnapped Whitehall, I also captured some of the Hydra elements lurking in S.H.I.E.L.D.; some of them identified the 'Winter Soldier' ​​as the assassin.

The executor of Operation Howard."

Hearing this, Tony's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt a burst of anger rushing to his forehead, and his breath was filled with anger.

"You should have reminded me to bring the Mark armor before you came here!" Tony said viciously.

"It's not too late." Qiang Xiang reminded seriously, "But Tony, I want to remind you, don't blow the 'Winter Soldier' ​​to pieces with missiles as soon as you see him; we want to survive."

Tony asked back: "Can't you make a dead man confess?"

Xiang Xiang heard the strong murderous intent in these words and said helplessly: "Then we have to leave him alive in a short time. It is not that simple to get the dead to confess. I also need to make preparations in advance while the other party is alive."

"OK, just live, right?" Tony asked as he strode out; his current state was no different than that of a bull with red eyes.

Qian Qian had no choice but to hold him back: "Tony, your current state is very wrong."

"I'm fine. I've never felt so good or so motivated." Tony struggled, but couldn't move his forward hand.

"Let me remind you, Sergeant Sam said that the 'Winter Soldier' ​​who fought with the captain was only about thirty years old." He said the phrase "thirty years old" word by word.

Tony seemed to have been poured cold water on his head and quickly calmed down.

"Howard was killed more than thirty years ago; it is impossible for a thirty-year-old to kill someone thirty years ago." Tony was a little confused, "But didn't the confession you got identify the 'Winter Soldier'?"

"That's what I want to say." Qiang Xiang lowered his voice again, "From the information I have obtained, the series of murders committed by the 'Winter Soldier' ​​can be traced back to the 1960s; he

Its active period spanned half a century."

Tony thought thoughtfully: "What's going on with this 'Winter Soldier'?"

"I suspect that the 'Winter Soldier' ​​is not just a person, but a team or even an organization."
