This is definitely a promotion.

After all, the case has a great influence. If you don’t get promoted, the Director will not agree, and I guess the mayor will not agree.

but……

Lake doesn't want to upgrade.

If you are going up, you can only sit in the office and not go out for field operations.

It's great to sit in the office.

but……

There is no way to get rid of the bad guy. Although the money in the office is also high, if it is compared with the money of getting rid of the bad guy, the income will not rise but fall.

never mind.

Let’s talk about it then.

Entering the main hall.

Lake met Tony Stark standing on the sofa watching the TV.

Tony Stark's appearance is quite similar to the ones in the movie. At most, he is not as old as he did when the movie appeared, but it is almost the same.

Pepper led Lake over and said, "Tony, this is Inspector Edwin."

Lake looked at Tony and didn't reach out: "Mr. Stark."

This guy doesn't shake hands with a friend, it's all in New York, no, it's probably something the whole world knows, so Lake is too lazy to make fun of himself.

By the way, this guy doesn't seem to have a cleanliness obsession.

At least I don’t have any cleanliness when I’m ashamed of those suspected of public vases.

This time Lake came here and was told by the Director. It should have been the mayor who instructed the Director, and then the Director asked Lake. It is said that Tony Stark asked to meet him.

Is there any clue?

Lake thought that this case was personally designated by Tony Stark in front of him, so he thought that it would be fine to come here. He originally wanted to visit this person according to the plan.

so.

After Lake sat down on the sofa, he had no interest or time to curry favor with this rich man who could give tens of thousands of tips as soon as he was happy. He said straight to the point: "Mr. Stark, do you have any clues to tell me?"

Tony Stark's expression changed a little.

Lake captured it.

Tony took the whiskey handed over by Pepper, took a sip, and looked at Lake: "You are responsible for this case, tell me."

Lake took the whiskey, said thank you to Pepper, and then looked at Tony: "Can I ask why Mr. Stark gave me the case to investigate."

I'll leave it to you?

I have been on vacation on a private island yesterday, and I don’t know you.

Tony thought so.

Just then.

Pepper Potz, who was standing by, spoke to Lake: "Inspector Edwin, I'm sorry, I think there should be some problems with this."

Lake looks to Pepper.

Pepper first glanced at Tony, who nodded silently, and then Pepper said to Lake: "Mr. Stark went on vacation to the private island the day before Christmas, and didn't return to New York until yesterday. Moreover, the New York Police Department restarted the case investigation, and Mr. Stark and I only heard about it this morning."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

this……

"But... Mr. Stark donated $200 million to our police station at the fundraising party. I have a photo of the director and Mr. Stark at the time at the cocktail party, and a signature on the check."

Lake said, taking out a photo from his arms and a copy of the 100 million US dollars check and handed it directly to Pepper.

The same sentence.

Tony Stark did not shake hands or pick up things, so Lake chose to hand it to Pepper directly.

Pepper took over and said thank you, then looked at the signature on it, confirmed that it was indeed Tony's handwriting, and handed it to Tony Stark.

Tony Stark looked at two photos.

After a while.

Tony Stark looked up: "It's my signature, but it's not mine."

He has no time to sign.

At that time, he should have talked about life with the vases on a private plane.

Lake took out the information he brought again and handed it to Pepper: "This is the police station account, and the amount is indeed transferred from Mr. Stark's bank."

The money you receive and the equipment you replace will not be faked.

Pepper took it and took a look, handed it to Tony, and said, "That's the problem."

Lake didn't speak.

The money was transferred from Stark's own account, and Tony asked Jarvis this morning, but Jarvis's answer was surprising.

Jarvis said that this was instructed by Tony and released the dialogue backup at that time.

Tony checked Jarvis's procedures, and there was no sign of invasion. The answer from the secretary's office of the company responsible for donating equipment was very convincing. They received a call from Tony and had a record of the call at that time to testify.

Can……

Tony doesn't remember anything like this at all.

This is a big problem.

After hearing this, Lake also felt a little unreal: "What about the case, the case restart authority was communicated to the FBI by Mr. Stark, and then transferred to the New York Police Department."

Pepper shook his head: "We asked our FBI friends, and he said that he did receive a call from Tony because of his friend, so he transferred the program to restart."

Lake: "…"

This is so weird.

It was clearly Tony Stark who used his own efforts to leverage the FBI and the New York Police Department to restart the case investigation, but now the parties involved said they knew nothing about the matter.

But in addition, the donations received by the New York Police Department were real, and the calls received by the FBI were also real.

so……

What's going on?

And there are photos from the time as evidence. No one can modify the reality, just to enable him to restart the investigation of the Howard Stark case, right?

Actually, the first thought in Lake's mind was the Scratcher.

but……

There is no reason. Nick Fury has been demoted at this time. I guess he is thinking about how to return to Sanfei.

Who?

Witch?

Not right, how old is she at this time?

Thirteen?

Fourteen, five, six or seven?

besides……

In Lake's memory, a witness emerged after eleven years of the car accident that should have no witnesses.

Maybe that witness doesn't exist at all?

Or is the person hiding behind the scenes not having time to modify it yet?

Lake was confused and stood up directly: "Sorry, I think there is a big problem with this matter, I'll leave first."

Tony spoke out: “Wait a minute.”

Lake stopped and turned to look at Tony.

Tony said: "Inspector Edwin, I want to ask, is there really a turning point in my parents' case?"

Lake was silent for a while and nodded: "Yes, my partner has found a witness who has re-studyed the case and an anonymous email. It is possible that he was at the scene of the crime and that he may have witnessed the truth of the car accident throughout the whole process."

Tony stood up instantly: "Who is it?"

Lake didn't want to say anything, but after thinking about it, he said directly: "Bruce Relf!"

Anyway, even if Tony had no intention of avenging his parents, Lake had captured the Winter Soldier this time, and his partner Qiao was still lying in the hospital for life and death.
