Lake guessed wrong.
Rachel Armstrong's story did not appear in the next day's Sun, but appeared on the front page of the Sun Evening News after lunch.
The title is also shocking.
but...
Lake couldn't tell.
The river crab god is watching.
In short.
Along with the sale of the news and evening papers, there are also articles updated simultaneously on the official website of The Sun. Compared with the thin carrier of paper newspapers, the reports on the Internet are more vivid.
Rachel has exclusive coverage of the Quantico mission.
Once the video was released, it instantly ignited the entire Internet.
Killer Base.
orphan.
Doll Killer.
Mrs. M.
Compared with the so-called text reports, nothing can arouse the infinite indignation of the onlookers more than this video plus commentary.
On the White House Network.
The petition to capture Mrs. M and her humanitarian destruction was pushed to the front page within three hours. In fact, by the late night, it had surpassed the level at which the White House accepted and issued an explanation.
the next day.
The beautiful parade scenery appeared on Pennsylvania Avenue again, but this time it was not aimed at Washington, but at Mrs. M.
Some members of Congress said in interviews that they would pay close attention to the more than 80 surviving children rescued from the island of Samoa.
Child protection associations and women's protection organizations also said they had called the White House.
A grand show of emergency public relations began.
The White House did not respond on that day, but a day later, the Director of the White House Press Office held a press conference and made it clear at the press conference.
After a joint transnational operation by Washington and the East, Mrs. M and her base were destroyed in Myanmar at around 11 o'clock last night Washington time, and more than one hundred underage girls and several baby girls were rescued from Mrs. M's base.
soon.
The East Country also responded to this matter.
Reporters asked the White House what to do with the children rescued from Samoa. The director of the press office and others are holding emergency consultations and will communicate with child protection agencies and women's protection agencies in a timely manner.
With just this one battle, Rachel Armstrong, who instantly became the most popular reporter in Washington, also accepted an invitation to a well-known federal political talk show tonight.
In the evening.
Betty, who was watching the talk show, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted towards the second floor: "Brother, brother, come down quickly."
Lake, who was packing clothes on the second floor, heard Betty's call and walked downstairs: "What are you doing?"
Betty waved at Lake, then pointed at the TV: "Brother, they're talking about you."
Lake snorted and said, "What a fuss."
He is a federal agent, not a Langley agent, and his battlefield is domestic. So, although appearing on TV is not a common occurrence for Lake, he has become accustomed to it.
Not to mention being on TV, Lake has even been on the front page of the news.
It made headlines in New York media last year.
That's right.
Did those newspapers finally notice that several of their reporters had mysteriously disappeared?
Lake thought so in his heart, walked over to Betty and sat down, looking at the TV.
Karen, who was sitting in the living room not far away reading a book, also turned her gaze to Lake and Betty.
On TV.
The talk show host said, "Okay, so, what do you think of Major Lake Edwin?"
"this..."
Rachel Armstrong, who seemed to have dressed up, smoothed her hair and laughed. "Major Edwin is a very easy person to deal with. It was Major Edwin's invitation that allowed me to witness the entire operation. I still remember what Major Edwin said to me when we first met."
"Oh, what?"
"Major Edwin said that I was pursuing the truth above all else, while he was pursuing something above the truth!"
"Above the truth?"
"Yes."
Rachel Armstrong said, as if recalling something: "I asked him about that time, and Major Edwin told me in a very relaxed but firm tone that it was national security."
The host seemed stunned.
Betty, who was sitting on the sofa, turned her head to look at her brother, her eyes twinkling. "Wow, that sounds so manly. Say it again."
Lake chuckled and glanced at Betty: "Crawl away."
"..." Betty turned her head and looked at Karen: "Mom!"
On TV.
The host said, "Ms. Armstrong, you haven't said what you think of Major Edwin yet."
Rachel Armstrong thought about it and shrugged: "If I weren't already married, he would be my ideal partner."
Ray Armstrong: "..."
host:"..."
Lake: "…"
After hearing this, Betty nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Lake: "I think she is very beautiful, brother doesn't consider it..."
Lake came back to his senses and interrupted directly: "Get out of the way."
Consider poverty.
I never mess with lolis or married women.
Karen, who was behind him, frowned after hearing this: "Is she married?"
Betty turned and looked at Karen.
Lake was speechless and made a helpless expression towards Karen. Is this true? Betty is making trouble, and you are making trouble too?
This Rachel is a queen.
Lake also likes royal sister.
but...
Lake doesn't like the queen who is married with a husband and children.
Even if the child is adopted.
Betty blinked. "What if she gets divorced?"
"That's..."
Lake came back to his senses and glanced at Betty: "I'm going upstairs to pack my things, you can take your time to look at it."
What if you get divorced?
As Lake walked up the stairs, he touched his chin and thought about Rachel.
pretty.
Royal sister.
Divorced.
If, maybe, possibly, consider, would!
Lake doesn't have any virgin complex. If she was born in the East, she might have it, but here, she is overthinking it. For a thirteen-year-old girl, her parents have to consider safety products as gifts for Christmas.
To be frank, except for childhood sweethearts who finally get married, almost no one here is together for life.
oh.
There was only each other in their lives.
This sentence may be very enviable in the East.
But here?
Oh.
This sentence needs to be said with great sympathy for the other person.
In this life, Lake received the security product from Thaddeus Ross quietly walking into his room when he was fourteen years old, because Lake was going to attend homecoming day that day.
Betty was given it by Karen when she was fifteen.
The environment is like this. Even if Lake has a virgin complex, he can't do it in this environment.
the next day.
Lake inexplicably discovered that a photo of himself in regular military uniform appeared in the newspaper, and he appeared with Rachel.
It was in The Sun newspaper.
Lake was speechless.
There are also a lot of gossip and media here watching the fun.
fine.
Lake was already at the airport, planning to fly back to New York.
I have nothing to do here anymore.
Even if there was, Lake was too lazy to participate in the remaining finishing work. After all, he ate meat, and he couldn't not give the agents from the Department of Homeland Security in Washington a chance to have some soup.
Lake is not that blind.
As for the so-called Professor X?
Minister Kelly did not demand his arrest. After all, the subsequent attention this case had attracted had shifted the public's focus here. Langley and Professor X could no longer appear in the newspapers.
At most, it is occasionally mentioned in some corner of the Internet.
but...
SHIELD, hiding in the dark, is in control. Once Professor X appears or someone deliberately redirects the topic to attack Washington, it will be deleted directly while the IP coordinates are tracked and sent to the FBI. Within 24 hours, the FBI will appear at the door of that person's house and break it down to deliver a warning.
After all, in this country, if you search online for how to buy chemical weapons, the FBI will track you down and investigate you.
As for phone tapping?
The repeated denials by the White House, Langley, and the FBI, as well as their fabricated claims that they had been waiting at the Sun's desk, were also forgotten.
As for what Professor X said?
Megan Walsh was handed over to her by her exposed Langley agent under Rachel's watchful eyes, and the ironclad facts proved one thing: that is, the photo of Professor X was a fake.
In general.
This time, the scapegoats were Mrs. M and Nick Fury, and everyone else, including Lake, was very happy.
so...
Lake can also retire with honor.
Lake felt that the next time he returned to Washington, he would probably have to wait until Christmas.
An hour and a half later.
Lake arrived at New York's Kennedy Airport.
As I walked out of the airport with my backpack in hand, I saw Richard Cassel, the New York mystery novel master, taking photos with several book fans in a very showy state.
Lake walked past Cassel with an expressionless face, then directly opened Cassel's car door and sat in the driver's seat.
"Hi hi hi."
Cassell opened the passenger door, got in, gave Lake a big hug, and then with a flick of his hand, he produced a copy of The Sun: "Wow, that's pretty cool, comparable to what I have."
Lake's mouth twitched, and he started the car, not intending to cater to Cassel's topic: "Congratulations, your new book is selling well."
Seeing that Lake had no intention of following this topic, Cassel directly took out a brand new book signed with his name from the storage box and patted it: "This is for you."
When Lake was struggling in Washington.
Castle's new book, "Heat Wave," the first in the Nikki Hitt series based on the famous New York Police Department female detective Carter Beckett, is now on sale.
In the past half month, "Heat Wave" topped the list of New York crime novels. Once again, the media reporters who previously thought that Cassel's talent had run out began to praise Cassel again.
The media are hot-button creatures.
Beckett...
Lake looked at Cassel with some sympathy: "Speaking of which, aren't you afraid that Beckett will see the contents of the book and then shoot you dead? I won't plead for you."
Cassel: "…"
