Beautiful Man

"That's him!"

Seeing the blurred face, Steve said with certainty.

Since he knew that Stanfield was the one who framed him, Steve had turned his information over in the past two days.

From the time he joined the DEA, every case he had worked on, every word he had said in public, all carefully reviewed.

And that slightly gangly face has been deeply engraved in his mind.

In contrast, Tony is much more cautious, he opened his mouth and said, "Jarvis, start face recognition."

"Being activated ...... identification successful, similarity rate - 98%."

Tony's expression was cold, and he nodded slightly and said, "Finally, you son of a bitch."

On the screen, Stanfill was carried into an ambulance and left the area under the close protection of several armored vehicles.

"Jarvis, keep an eye on him! See where they're going."

"Yes, sir."

The ambulance hit the road, a guardian battle armor following from afar.

The convoy made its way towards the outskirts of the countryside, and it looked like it was still some distance from its destination, so the two men were just right to sit down and take stock of their thoughts.

Steve recalled the image of Stanfield lying on a stretcher, his face showed a puzzled expression of disbelief.

"According to our speculation, Stanfill is the killer behind the killing of Mr. President, after the deed is done he will certainly find a way to leave Washington."

"But just three days have passed since the president was killed, how could he be involved in an inexplicable battle and then be discovered by the military and police before us?"

"I just took a closer look, and the wounds on him are not fake. I wonder if our speculation could have been wrong and the real killer behind the scene is someone else. And Stanfield, like me, are the puppets of the real killer."

Tony sat in his chair listening to the analysis, scratching his beard with his hand.

"Whether Stanfield is the real killer or not, he must be hiding somewhere near Washington these days, and the key surveillance area of the guardian war armor is Washington."

"The ruins where he was found, although very secretive, but the Guardian Battle Armor definitely could not have missed it, how could a group of armed thugs suddenly jump out? Unless the other party used advanced anti-detection equipment. If that's the case, it's rather more telling."

Steve frowned at the thought and said, "Makes sense, go on with your opinion."

With Tony, the dog-headed army master, Steve also did not bother to use his brain.

But I did not expect Tony shook his head: "At present, we have too little information in hand, this time to talk about the views of the conclusions are based on empty imagination, not only does not help, but will fall into a preconceived mode of thinking."

"I think, or wait a little while, at least until the identity of this group of armed thugs to investigate clearly."

Steve: "Good!"

............

Half an hour later, the ambulance finally arrived at its destination.

Because Stanfield is a nationally wanted and important prisoner, the police simply did not dare to send him to the hospital, but directly to the intensive care unit at the FBI headquarters.

Tony immediately asked Jarvis to hack into the system of the FBI headquarters and connect the surveillance cameras of the intensive care unit

Just see Stanfield was carried to the operating room, a group of doctors into the room, cut his clothes to start resuscitation.

However, to people's surprise, after only ten minutes, the doctor exited the ward.

Seeing this, the FBI people immediately panicked.

Stanfield is an important wanted criminal, but also an important informant in the unraveling of the armed gang incident, if he died, then this matter will be difficult to do.

Unexpectedly, the doctor took off his mask and said: "Although the patient was seriously injured, but most of the injuries are superficial and not life-threatening. Just lie in bed for half a month to recuperate can be healed."

Hearing these words, Tony and Steve and the FBI were immediately relieved.

In order to prevent accidents, the FBI immediately arranged for agents to keep the ward under close protection 24 hours a day.

............

This night, the ward did not come out any sound, there is no abnormal situation.

When the doctor checked the room the next morning, he found that Stanfill had awakened. After a series of examinations, the FBI agents immediately started questioning him.

"Who were the armed bandits?"

"Why were you kidnapped and held by them?"

"Did you hear any of their conversations while in captivity?"

The agent threw out several questions in a row, but to his surprise, Stanfield did not answer a single word, instead he asked in a weak tone.

"I've been locked up in the basement for the past few days, has anything major happened outside during this time?"

The agents in charge of the interrogation came together to discuss in a whisper.

After discussing for a while, they decided that there was no need to hide these questions and spoke up.

"A **** organization called 'Hydra' took over S.H.I.E.L.D. and tried to use the three sky carriers to kill thousands of people. But in the end they were stopped by the military and Captain America and Iron Man. Those Hydra were also captured."

At that, Stanfield actually smiled and let out a long breath: "Great!"

The agent was suddenly full of doubts, you are not a member of Hydra, good what good.

"What is too good?"

Stanfield did not answer, continued to ask: "And?"

The agent looked at him with a somewhat displeased expression.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Captain Steve Rogers, the American captain, suddenly went crazy during the medal ceremony and killed Mr. President with his own hands."

"What!" Stanfield was shocked and struggled to get up.

But as soon as he exerted himself, his body emitted a sharp pain that made him scream out.

He slowly lay back down on the hospital bed with a regretful and angry expression, "Fuck! It's all my fault, I'm still a step late!"

The agent was confused by him and quickly asked, "What do you mean you're a step late? What the hell do you know? Tell me!"

Stanfield shook his head and said, "This matter is very involved, I will not tell you. Of course, it is for your own good, once you know this, you, and your family will not live long."

The agents looked at each other with cautious expressions on their faces.

What the hell is going on that is so serious!

"Then what do you have to do before you will talk?"

Stanfield asked, 'Mr. President was killed, and it should be Mr. Vice President who is now fulfilling his presidential duties, right?"

"That's right!"

"Very well! Then ask Mr. Vice President to come to this ward, and what I am going to say is also directly related to him."

At that, the agents sneered and said, "Mr. President is busy with his day-to-day business, where would he have time to see you, a suspect. However, I can apply to the top and let our director come to see you personally. The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the rank is higher than you, the agent in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., this is always possible."

Stanfield shook his head and stubbornly closed his eyes, "Sorry, the director of the FBI, is not yet qualified and capable of listening to me say that."

"Except for Mr. Vice President, I am not going to tell this information. Of course, you can also torture me severely. But I have also been a secret agent, so I am not afraid of this kind of thing from you."

This guy was so oily that the agent in charge of the interrogation had no choice but to suspend the interrogation and report to his superiors.

............

Stark base.

Tony looked at the screen, coldly snorted and said, "Hum, this guy pretending, really know how to act."

Steve, however, frowned and said, "Tony, could we be mistaken! Look at him does not look like acting, if he is a cadre of the Joker organization, how could he be caught by that group of armed thugs."

Tony said, "It's not hard to answer your question, I think there are two possibilities."

"The first: the Joker organization internal infighting, Stanfield was betrayed by his associates, to end up in such a situation, but this possibility is very small."

"I don't know what the reason is, the Joker organization is like an iron barrel inside. S.H.I.E.L.D., the government, the military and other agencies, trying to infiltrate by all means, at most, can only penetrate to the grassroots, the middle level up, especially the top is simply impossible."

"This shows the high degree of unity within the Joker organization, and the members have a belief that borders on pathological. Such an organization is unlikely to have infighting, and especially unlikely to develop to the point of brutalizing fellow members."

Steve nodded and said, "What about the second possibility?"

"The second possibility would be too terrible. Stanfield and the Joker organization is brewing a larger conspiracy. Everything right now is just his bitter plan."

"That doctor said yesterday that the injuries that Stanfield sustained were ordinary superficial injuries that could be healed after half a month of rest."

"Don't forget, he was imprisoned by a group of armed thugs. No matter what place that group of people came from and for what purpose. In short, there are no such gentle terrorists in this world."

After hearing Tony's deduction, Steve thought carefully, still not quite convinced.

"Tony, both of your guesses are based on the premise that Stanfield, is the Joker organization cadres. But you must not forget that we have no conclusive evidence in hand to prove his identity. So I think this view is too arbitrary, but will affect our judgment."

Tony smiled carelessly and said, "It's true that I have no evidence, I just don't like this kid. Perception tells me that he must be a member of the Joker organization."

Steve helplessly bitter smile: "This is not a trivial matter, we can not rely on intuition, only rely on evidence."

Tony does not care whether he believes it or not, said: "Then we will see what happens."

............

The agent reported Stanfield's request up.

Although the request was a bit much, the FBI director called the White House with a stiff upper lip.

He expected to be scolded by his superiors, but he was surprised by the result.

The vice president actually agreed to the request and will come to the FBI headquarters right away.

With Mr. President in town, the FBI immediately activated the highest level of security measures.

Mr. President had just been killed and it was a sensitive time.

In order to ensure security, the road from the White House to the FBI headquarters, the temporary implementation of traffic control, within half an hour after the evacuation of social vehicles, so that the military armored vehicles directly to the street.

The FBI headquarters also dispersed many idle people and moved Stanfield to a small building.

The agents who were able to enter this building were named by the director himself and were 100% trustworthy.

These security measures took a total of two hours.

At 3 p.m., the presidential motorcade departed from the White House and made its way unimpeded to FBI headquarters, accompanied by senior government officials.

............

In the spacious room, a hospital room was placed, and Stanfill was lying on it covered with gauze.

He is directly opposite, put a row of sofas, sitting are the Secretary of Defense, the President of the Senate and other senior government officials, including, of course, he named to see Mr. Vice President.

The Vice President wasted no time in asking, "What secrets do you know? Don't worry and boldly say it."

Stumpf struggled to sit up and scanned the high officials in front of him.

"In fact, what I am going to say, a few days ago, you know. That's right, Captain America Steve Rogers is, indeed, an important member of Hydra."

Although they had been prepared, the faces of the senior officials still showed a surprised expression.

It's over, it's going to be a real hammer.

Heroes become criminals, those who have worshipped the United States team for decades, it is estimated to collapse.

The vice president calmed down and asked, "How do you know?"

Stanfill said: "I overheard Alexander and Steve's call. Don't ask me why I wasn't found out, I've been with the DEA for over a decade and an agent with S.H.I.E.L.D. for almost a decade. In terms of investigative ability alone, I am confident that I would not be inferior to any of the top agents."

The vice president nodded and said, "And?"

Stanfield slowed down and said, "After accidentally learning this amazing secret, only to know that S.H.I.E.L.D. is actually full of Hydra's minions inside, if rash action will certainly be silenced, and at that time I did not have enough evidence, others will not believe my side of the story."

"So I began to investigate and collect evidence, I could not trust anyone, only alone in the dark, and took the opportunity to travel to New York and secretly spy on Captain America. It was easier to spy on someone who didn't know anything about high technology than on Alexander."

"After several years of hard work, I finally stole a list from Steve's phone and some of the information. The list recorded all the Hydra members lurking in Washington, numbering in the thousands. Yet with an empty list and no evidence, it was still impossible to expose them."

"But just then, Director Nick also discovered the Hydra conspiracy. So, Alexander sent someone to assassinate Chief Nick Fury, and the murderer's killing process happened to be captured by my surveillance probe."

"The man who killed Chief Nick Fury was named Bucky Barnes. Some people may be familiar with this name. Yes, it is the Captain America Museum introduced, the man who once fought alongside him and was born to die."

At these words, all the senior officials in the audience were shocked.

"No way!" The vice president exclaimed.

"According to you, this man named Bucky Barnes, if he is still alive, would he not be over ninety years old, a venerable old man with half a foot in a coffin, how could he possibly kill the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
