David."
"Lake, what's wrong?"
"How's it going over there?"
"The target hasn't made any movement yet. What's going on?"
"Catch them."
"…Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"good."
In another elevator, Lake hung up the phone.
Nothing else.
Lake suddenly thought of something, that is, Evelyn Short did not realize that she was a Russian spy after the spy chief surrendered himself, but she knew that she was a Russian spy from the beginning.
So...
Lake actually guessed wrong about Hydra's purpose, or rather, when Hydra arranged for Short to come here to interrogate the Winter Soldier, its purpose had actually been achieved.
Hydra did not want to lure out the Russian spy with cancer and thus the organization, but wanted to use Short to drag out the Russian spy organization and make them take the blame.
This operation...
If Lake hadn't just remembered this matter, he would have been led by the nose by Hydra.
The reason why Sunil suddenly disappeared in the afternoon was not to avoid suspicion or anything, but this was part of his plan. After he left, he wanted to give Short the opportunity to reactivate Bucky Barnes.
Without a doubt.
Evelyn Short fell into a trap, and it was a trap that hit the bull's eye. Just like he was abandoned by Langley two years ago, this time he was also tricked by Langley.
but.
Not worthy of sympathy.
In the conference room.
Agent Langley, who stayed behind, looked at Lake who came in, hung up the phone, and angrily accused Lake, "Director Edwin, you have no right to detain us..."
Lake didn't even glance at the Langley agent, who was also a pawn. He looked directly at Minister Kelly who had stood up. "Sir, I've received a tip that Evelyn Short is a KGB spy."
"What?"
The Langley agent was shocked: "This is impossible, this is slander."
Minister Kelly also frowned: "Are you sure?"
Lake looked at the watch on his hand: "In half an hour, when David comes back, give me ten minutes, and I guarantee that Evelyn Short will confess."
"David? David also knows about this?"
"Yes."
Lake looked at Minister Kelly and said, "Sir, you said that David and I will be partners in New York State from now on. Naturally, this case will be considered our first one."
Minister Kelly smiled and nodded.
Upon seeing this, Agent Langley walked directly towards the conference room door and said, "I need to report what happened here to our supervisor."
Lake gestured expressionlessly: "Go ahead."
Agent Langley leaves.
The Attorney General, who had been sitting in his seat, watching the whole show without saying a word or expressing any opinions, said after Agent Langley left: "Lake, you are accusing the CIA of having spies from other countries in addition to traitors. I hope you know what you are doing."
Good job.
The Attorney General looked at Lake in a suit and tie and didn't know what to say.
He came here before Christmas last year and caused a scandal at the CIA that was no less than treason.
This time...
He even directly accused the CIA of having spies from other countries.
Wow.
The Attorney General found it hard to imagine what expression would be on the CIA Director's face after hearing the news.
but...
The reason why the Attorney General chose to stand on Lake's side is very simple. In addition to being the Attorney General, he is also the Federal Attorney General. Karen is a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice. Naturally, to some extent, Lake also belongs to the Attorney General's camp.
But the station is the station.
The Attorney General still kindly reminded Lake that this matter was of no trivial importance. It would be a miracle if an ordinary person survived the CIA after confronting him once. If he did it again, the CIA would probably hate that person for the rest of his life.
Lake looked directly at Minister Kelly and the Attorney General with a serious expression: "I suspect that Director Sunil Bakshi of Langley also knows about this matter."
Can't play anymore.
If you play, you will get away with it.
This time, Lake really guessed what tricks Hydra was going to play, and he was a little surprised and scared.
Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person.
Fortunately, Lake had watched the movie "Salt", and just now she remembered that Salt knew from the beginning that she was a deep-sea spy.
One sentence.
If Lake didn't know Short's true identity, then the story would develop like this and according to Hydra's snake-skin script.
The Winter Soldier confessed that he was a KGB spy, and then after revealing a shocking secret about the assassination of the president, he used a self-torture trick to control Salt.
after...
Whether the Winter Soldier escaped or was arrested, the assassination news he revealed was enough for Minister Kelly and the Attorney General here to report to the President.
In this case, Agent Salt, who participated in the interrogation and staged a self-torture tactic, must also meet with the president to report.
And guess what happens?
Even if Salt's self-destruction is considered a success, once the president dies, what will be left of the newly established Department of Homeland Security? It is estimated that there will be nothing left, and the Department of Homeland Security and the CIA will be instantly blamed.
Hydra can get away with it easily, because it is not them who will be blamed.
Good job.
Lake kept shouting in his heart, which was why he ordered the direct arrest of Evelyn Short. He could no longer follow Hydra's script.
This version of Hydra has a brain, unlike the mentally retarded version of Hydra that Nick Fury dealt with. Hydra has a bunch of people, but Riker is just one person. If he didn't have a cheat this time, he would definitely have fallen into Hydra's trap.
but...
If you think about it, it might have something to do with skin color.
After all, Nick Fury has a dark skin color, and as we all know, his brain capacity is relatively small. Therefore, in order to prevent evil from defeating justice, and to prevent white people from defeating black people, Nick Fury's version of Hydra was weakened.
Lake is not black.
Huang, wisdom first.
White, unlike the lower-class happy white, Lake belongs to the elite white.
nature.
The version Lake has to deal with is the normal Hydra version, which is not on the same level as the Hydra version specifically for black people.
In short.
Lake is not playing anymore.
MMP.
My main job is a killer.
Part-time workers are law enforcers.
Law enforcers need evidence, killers emphasize idealism. I just think you are plotting against me. What evidence do you need? After killing you, I just want my thoughts to be clear.
Lake laughed coldly in his heart.
Waiting.
Once I finish this part-time job, I'll change my identity and come over to have a good chat with you guys.
Not fun.
I'm going to flip the table.
…
OK, let's just leave it at that... VIP will be activated at 12 o'clock tomorrow, and Xiaomi will find some time to write some words of thanks for the release. As for how many updates will be released, there will be some thanks for the release, it shouldn't be too much, but it won't be too little either.
