The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

It's definitely going to be a promotion.

After all, the influence of this case is very big. If you don't get promoted, let's not say that the director does not agree, and it is estimated that the mayor will not agree.

but……

Lake didn't want to upgrade.

If you go up, you can only sit in the office, and you can't go out to work.

Sitting in the office is cool.

but……

There's no way to be black and black. Although there is a lot of money in the office, if you compare it with the money from black and black, then your income will not rise but drop at all.

never mind.

Let's talk about it then.

into the main hall.

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

Tony Stark's appearance is quite close to the one in the movie, at most, not as old as when he appeared in the movie, but it's almost the same.

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

Lake looked at Tony without reaching out: "Mr. Stark."

This guy doesn't shake hands with non-friends, this is all New York, no, it is probably known to the whole world, so Lake doesn't bother to make fun of himself.

That being said, it doesn't look like it's clean.

At least there is no cleanliness when shy with those suspected public vases.

Lake came over this time because of the director's account. It should be the mayor who asked the director, and then the director asked Lake. It is said that Tony Stark asked to meet him.

Are there any clues?

Lake thought that this case was personally designated by Tony Stark in front of him.

so.

After sitting down on the sofa, Lake had no interest or time to curry favor with the rich man who could tip tens of thousands of dollars when he was happy, and said straight to the point, "Mr. Stark, do you have any clues to tell me?"

Tony Stark's expression changed.

Lake caught it.

Tony took the whiskey that Pepper handed over, took a sip, and looked at Lake: "You are in charge of this case, you tell me."

Lake took the whiskey, thanked Pepper, and looked at Tony: "Can I ask why Mr. Stark sent this case to me for investigation."

I give it to you?

I've been on vacation on a private island until yesterday, and I don't even know you.

Tony thought so.

at this time.

Pepper Potts, who was on the side, said to Lake: "Inspector Edwin, I'm sorry, I think there must be something wrong with this."

Lake looked at Pepper.

Pepper first glanced at Tony, and after the latter nodded silently, Pepper then said to Lake: "Mr. Stark went to a private island for vacation the day before Christmas, and it was not until yesterday. Back in New York, and Mr. Stark and I only heard about the NYPD reopening the case investigation this morning."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

This……

"But... Mr. Stark donated 200 million dollars to our police station at the fundraiser. I have a group photo of the director and Mr. Stark at the cocktail party, as well as the signature on the check."

Lake said, took out a photo from his arms, and a copy of a check for a donation of $100 million, and handed it directly to Pepper.

Again.

Tony Stark doesn't shake hands or pick up things, so Lake chooses to hand it directly to Pepper.

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

Tony Stark looks at two pictures.

After a while.

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

He didn't have time to sign.

At that time, he should be talking about life with the vases on the private jet.

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

The money received and the replaced equipment will not be faked.

Pepper took it, glanced at it, 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 had asked Jarvis this morning, but Jarvis' answer was surprising.

Jarvis said it was instructed by Tony, and also released a backup of the dialogue at the time.

Tony checked Jarvis's program, it was intact, there was no sign of intrusion, and the answer from the office of the secretary of the company responsible for the equipment donation was also very conclusive. testifying.

Can……

Tony doesn't remember anything like this at all.

This is the big problem.

Lake also had an unreal feeling after listening to it: "What about the case, Mr. Stark communicated with the FBI to reopen the case, and then transferred to the New York Police Department."

Pepper shook his head: "We asked a friend of the FBI, and he said that he did get a call from Tony, and because of his friend, he transferred the restart process."

Lake: "..."

This meow is so weird.

Obviously it was Tony Stark who single-handedly mobilized the FBI and the New York Police Department to restart the case investigation. As a result, the person concerned said that he knew nothing about the matter.

But beyond that, the donations received by the NYPD were genuine, and so was the diversion of calls received by the FBI.

so……

This is how the same thing.

And there are photos at the time as proof, no one can modify the reality, just so that he can restart the investigation of the Howard Stark case?

In fact, the first thought in Lake's mind was the Skrull.

but……

There is no reason, Nick Fury has been demoted at this time, and it is estimated that all he can think about at the moment is how to return to Sanfei.

Who.

witch?

Not right, how old is she at this time?

Thirteen?

Fourteen five six seven?

and also……

In Lake's memory, a witness appeared for the first time in eleven years in the car accident that should have had no witnesses.

Maybe that witness didn't even exist?

Or is it that the person hiding behind the scenes hasn't had time to modify it?

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

Tony said, "Wait a minute."

Lake stopped and turned to look at Tony.

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

Lake was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes, my partner has re-researched the case and found an anonymous email. It is possible that he was at the scene of the crime at the time and may have witnessed the truth of the car accident. The presence of witnesses."

Tony stood up instantly: "Who is it?"

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

In any case, even if Tony had no intention of avenging his parents, Lake had captured the Winter Soldier this time, and his partner Joe was still lying in the hospital undecided.
