Actually think about it...
The Winter Soldier, Bucky Barnes, is innocent in legal terms. After all, he was the one who killed people, but he was controlled by someone else.
And now that Bucky Barnes has become a mass-produced model, it is even more difficult to judge.
Was Bucky Barnes, who killed Howard Stark and his wife, the real person or a clone?
but.
This has nothing to do with Lake. It is Tony Stark who has a blood feud with Bucky Barnes, not him, Lake Edwin.
Lake would not tell Tony Stark about his speculation.
It's meaningless.
Don't advise others to do good unless you have experienced their suffering.
What Tony chooses is Tony's business and has nothing to do with Lake.
And that's not why Lake allowed Tony to come over.
Lake hung up his towel and tied his tie in front of the mirror. "I learned from Dr. Merrick that he uploaded the cloning and resurrection technology to a certain network in the end. I think you got it."
Tony frowned.
Lake fastened his tie, pressed it, and looked at Tony. "I don't care if it's you or not. I'm just telling you from a friend's perspective that cloning and resurrection won't bring you any peace of mind. Maybe at first, but in the end, any attempt to resurrect the dead from hell will only make you more miserable."
Tony listened, and Lake didn't care.
Can't listen?
If something goes wrong, people from the extraordinary world will intervene and it will have nothing to do with Lake.
As for why Lake is so sure?
It's very simple.
Dr. Zora must not be dead. After all, he knows the whole picture of Hydra. If Dr. Zora tells everything in detail or doesn't say a word, then Lake will believe it.
But Dr. Zola told a wrong story. At least, in his description, the leader of the newly born Hydra was only Daniel Whitehall.
So Dr. Zora is definitely not dead.
Lake doesn't know much about computers, but Tony Stark does.
Anyway, there are only two possibilities. Zora ran away by himself, or the story of Zora working with Howard attracted Tony Stark, who forced him into a corner. Then, in the end, Tony Stark asked Jarvis to transfer Zora's electronic data to him.
besides.
There is no third possibility.
Lake tends to believe the latter. Zora was really forced into a corner. In order to survive and for the sake of his alliance with Alexander Pierce, he used this method.
Even if it is electronic life, it is still life.
It is better to live a miserable life than to die.
Especially for Dr. Zora, after all, at the end of his life, he thought of and successfully achieved the so-called immortality in another way.
Tony looked at Lake in confusion: "Are you so sure it's with me?"
Lake put on his coat and the watch he had put aside, smiled, and looked at Tony: "I'm not sure, I'm very skeptical. Did I tell you that when you play with hell, hell will play with you too?"
Tony deadpanned, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you. That's what Nietzsche said. You just changed a few words."
Lake tilted his head: "Really?"
Tony said nothing.
Lake chuckled and said, "Alright, just treat it as what Nietzsche said. Anyway, I've told you. It's up to you whether you want to listen or not. Okay, let's go and meet the clones."
In the corridor.
Tony asked Lake: "Do you know my father..."
"have no idea."
"I haven't said anything yet."
"I don't know anything."
"…"
Lake shook his head and said, "There's no point in asking me, because I don't know any more than you do. Perhaps you should try to contact your godmother, Ms. Peggy Carter."
It's no secret that Tony Stark's godmother is Peggy Carter.
After all, Tony Stark, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, is inherently like a walking piece of news. Even now, some tabloids still make up stories about Tony Stark's childhood and publish them to attract attention when they have nothing else to report.
The same thing.
He had no intention of getting involved in the mess between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra from the beginning. Isn't it better to keep out of other people's business?
What's the result?
Lake calculated silently in his mind.
seem...
The only one he hasn't dealt with yet is the Coast Guard. He has dealt with all the other law enforcement agencies, including Langley, Hoover, SHIELD, and Hydra.
I clearly just want a peaceful life.
Lake was speechless. He felt that if he didn't have the support of the military and Karen Capital, someone like him would have been boycotted by this group of people long ago.
In a confidential warehouse.
When Lake and Tony came to the office again, the anthropologist was already there.
"Booth!"
"Ha, Lake!"
Lake hugged Federal Agent Seele Booth, who had escorted the anthropologist, attracting the attention of the anthropologist, Temperley Brainerd.
After releasing.
Temperley Brainerd, who had a high IQ but low EQ, greeted Lake first, then looked at Rayser Booth with some confusion: "Do you know Edwin?"
Lake said, "We've known each other for many years."
He met Jason through Jason, who met him through Booth's younger brother, Judd, who was also serving in the army. At that time, Judd mistook Jason for Booth. After all, the two men were too similar. So, the three of them would occasionally get together for a drink. After Lake went to New York, they basically kept in touch through phone calls.
Lake also knew Temperley Breanna.
This person was introduced to Lake through his downstairs neighbor, Cassel. After all, Temperley Brainerd was not only an anthropologist, but also a crime novelist. There were only so many top crime novelists in the federal circle. Lake and Cassel met Temperley Brainerd when they came to a cocktail party in Washington.
Of course.
They just got to know each other briefly. Later, when he was working on several cases, Lake sent bones several times, hoping to use Temperley Brainer's professional knowledge to help solve the case.
General Moses interrupted everyone's reminiscence and looked at Temperley Brainerd: "Dr. Brainerd, is there any way to identify who is a clone without removing the bones?"
Temperley Brainerd thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I do, but the equipment I need is all in my lab."
General Moses said, "Whatever equipment you need, feel free to tell me, but this matter is limited to here and must not be spread outside."
If this gets out, there will be chaos in the world.
The genuine Nick Fury was in no mood to pay attention to the information about the underground cloning base at this moment. After all, an imposter suddenly said that he was him, which was the most important thing.
Operations Center.
beep!
beep!
beep!
The lights in the operations center flashed red a few times. After confirming that the operations center had entered the highest defense state, Lake took out a USB flash drive from his arms and handed it to a technical soldier with an A-level confidentiality rating.
The soldier plugged in the USB drive and a password input interface popped up.
One chance, if you input incorrectly, it will be destroyed directly.
Lake looked over and said, "One, two, one, three, eight, the password!"
The soldier nodded and entered the password directly. After the verification was passed, the password was directly entered into the USB drive. A document lay quietly in the USB drive.
This USB flash drive was found on Dr. Merrick's body. According to Dr. Merrick's last memory, the contents of this USB flash drive included who had new organs made using cloning technology, and who outside had become a clone.
Those clones outside were the same as the clones prepared by Daniel Whitehall. They were not consumables with a shelf life of only two years, but were cloned at a huge price. They only had a subconscious button to turn on the switch, and no other secret doors were left.
soon.
After the document was opened, a series of names and photos appeared on the big screen.
Good job.
General Moses and General Ross exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the photos that appeared above.
The Russian tycoon has indeed become a clone.
There are even quite a few clones within the Federation.
shocking.
It's really shocking.
soon.
The President, the Pentagon generals, and Secretary Kelly were instantly connected, and they were stunned when they saw the series of lists projected onto their screens.
Minister Kelly looked directly at Lake: "Director Edwin, this list has not been leaked, right?"
Lake shook his head: "No, Minister."
Minister Kelly nodded and said, "Mr. President, this is a matter of national security. I suggest that we first take those on the list into custody."
The Pentagon general reconsidered: "I agree with Secretary Kelly's proposal."
The President rubbed his brows and asked, "What's the situation with S.H.I.E.L.D.? Have you confirmed it?"
Who could have imagined that Daniel Whitehoe, who was out for medical treatment at the time, would cause such a situation? Unfortunately, there is no way to hold anyone accountable and investigate this matter.
The Federation does not have this tradition. This is not a liquidation, but it is also a kind of liquidation. This tradition cannot be carried out.
The most important point.
The president who agreed to Daniel Whitehall's medical treatment was the father of the current president. In the 1980s, it was his father who signed the order for medical treatment while in office.
How the hell is this going on?
General Moses said, "Once the equipment arrives, we can conduct the test."
The President cleared his throat, sat back in his seat, and looked at the remote participants. He said gravely, "Gentlemen, this is a crisis. It must be contained within a certain scope. All personnel involved must sign confidentiality agreements. This matter must not be made public, much less known to the world. It would make us a laughing stock. We must handle this matter properly."
