People Are in Marvel, and the System is Working As a Worker

Mike is looking forward to it.

Chapter 17: Analysis makes sense because the answer is known in advance

As expected of Stark's assistant, Pepper wrote a check for millions of dollars in front of Mike, without blinking his eyes.

Skye leaned over Mike's back, head over shoulder, eyeballs pressed against the check. "Is this real?"

Without realizing it, my chest and Mike's back were tightly pressed together, like a lover hugging his waist tightly from his back.

Please forgive Skye, I have never seen a check for a million dollars.After dropping out of school, Skye has been begging for a living on the streets. He has seen too many fists and knives for a hundred dollars, and two small gangs playing out of their heads for ten thousand dollars.

Mike put the check away, put his finger on Skye's forehead, and pushed her away.

"Whether it's true or not, it's not for you anyway."

"whispering sound!"

It suddenly occurred to Skye that Old Earl had said that Mike's job was dangerous.At that time, Skye didn't care about it, he just thought that Mike was a scumbag who was always in the Shura field.

"The commission of a million dollars should be very dangerous." Skye began to worry about Mike.

Pepper said: "Since Mr. Tang has collected the money, what do you plan to do? Can you tell me, isn't it against the rules?"

"can."

Mike's eyes fell on Pepper's bodyguard. At this time, Happy was not fat enough, but rather stocky.

"Is there a problem?" Happy felt puzzled.

"There is indeed a problem."

Mike's answer was unexpected, "If I remember correctly, this Mr. Bodyguard..."

"Happy Hogan." Happy introduced himself.

"This Happy is Mr. Stark's bodyguard and driver, right?"

"Correct!"

As Stark's personal bodyguard, Happy often shows his face in public and has a high reputation.

"Then why weren't you there when Stark was attacked?"

Happy's face darkened, very remorseful.

"Let me answer this question for him." Pepper took the question, "Tony asked him to stay and protect me."

"You doubt me?" Happy asked.

"Can't you?" Mike asked.

"Okay, as long as it helps to find Mr. Stark." Happy was not annoyed.

Happy is not so much Stark's bodyguard as a trusted friend, just like Pepper's assistant.If Happy wanted to turn Stark against him, there were at least a hundred better ways.

Mike didn't doubt Happy, just pure curiosity.

In the movie, Happy helps Stark get his luggage on the plane, but he doesn't appear in Afghanistan.

"I know limited information, only some immature ideas." Mike said.

"Don't know anything and dare to charge $100 million..." Skye muttered, his voice was so small that only Mike could hear it.

Mike glanced back at her, and continued: "According to the news, when the convoy was attacked, Mr. Stark was sitting in the head car?"

Normally, the target to be protected will be in the middle of the convoy, guarding the front and back.

Pepper said: "It's Tony's temporary transfer, he doesn't like...constraints."

Constraint is a very euphemistic word, in fact, it should be said to be self-assessed.

This time it was tied to Stark's own death.

"First of all, if the attacker's goal was to kill Stark, then why did they take Stark away? If not, why did they directly attack Stark's vehicle with missiles? So..."

"I'm inclined, the employer didn't tell the attackers that there was Stark in the convoy, and the attackers only discovered Stark after the attack and kidnapped him..."

"Wait," interjected Happy. "There's no evidence there's a mastermind behind this attack."

Mike signaled Happy to be calm, and asked: "Mr. Stark's route in Afghanistan is strictly confidential, right?"

"Yes." Happy nodded.

Mike continued to analyze:

"So someone leaked the whereabouts of the convoy to the attacker, but the attacker didn't know there was Stark in the convoy, which shows that the planner and the perpetrator are probably not in the same group, but just an employment relationship."

"Also, Mr. Stark has been kidnapped for so long, but no one has contacted you to ask for ransom or other demands. Why?"

Pepper and Happy's expressions changed dramatically.

Mike knew that they were thinking wrong, and hurriedly said: "It's not what you think, Mr. Stark must still be alive."

The two looked at Mike hopefully.

Mike explained: "If Mr. Stark dies unfortunately, given the urinating nature of terrorists, he will definitely show it off as a 'record'. I haven't seen a major attack, a bunch of large and small Did the terrorists claim to be responsible for this... Moreover, even if Mr. Stark's body is redeemed, you must be willing to pay an astronomical sum. Mr. Stark is still alive, I am sure of this."

I have to say that Mike's analysis makes sense.

For a long time, what Pepper heard was "not sure", "can't judge", "wait for the next news", "will not give up" and the like.At this time, when Mike was sure that Stark was still alive, even if it was only a theoretical analysis, Pepper's emotions finally broke out, covering his face with his hands, and crying loudly.

Mike said awkwardly to Happy: "I usually don't make women cry."

Happy gave Mike a grateful look.

After Stark disappeared, Pepper's mental state was very bad, just holding on, and it would be good for her to vent her stagnant emotions.

Then Skye pinched Mike hard from behind.

Mike: (O_O)?

Where did you provoke you?

Skye thought to himself: "What do you call a woman who can't make you cry? What are those women who are made to cry and howl by you on the bed? Scum! Scum! Scum!"

Ten seconds later, Pepper controlled his emotions, "Sorry, I lost my composure, please continue, Mr. Tang."

As expected of a strong woman who can control the Stark Group, she returned to normal so quickly.

Skye handed over the tissue thoughtfully.

"Thank you." Pepper did not forget to thank.

Mike continued: "It's not that the attackers didn't blackmail. After they found out that the employer had concealed information, their first blackmail target was not you, but the employer."

"How many people have the ability to obtain the whereabouts of Mr. Stark, have the strength and connections to hire terrorists in the Middle East, and benefit from Mr. Stark's death?"

Mike snapped his fingers: "Inside the Stark Group, commercial competitors, the military... no more than ten, and then exclude a few according to the actual situation, it should be compressed to five..."

"Roddy!"

"Stanley!"

"Impossible." ×2.

Both of them denied their guess at the same time.

Roddy is a good friend of Stark, the military liaison of the Stark Group, what good is Stark's death for him?

And Roddy was in the convoy when the attack occurred.Once Stark dies, Roddy will definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat, and then transferred to an unknown horn Gada to do clerical or logistical work, with no bright future.

As for Obadiah Stanislav... his relationship with Tony was like a family member.

Mike didn't say much, just quoted Holmes' words: "Once all the impossible conclusions are ruled out, what remains, no matter how bizarre and incredible, must be the irrefutable truth."

Pepper and Happy fell silent at the same time.

"If you find the mastermind behind the scenes, you will naturally know the identity of the assailant, and may even direct you to Mr. Stark's location."

Mike said: "I need a little preparation time, and then I will leave immediately. The domestic investigation can only be done by you, um, it's best to get Coulson."

Pepper said: "Tony's private jet will take off in an hour."

Pepper took out the checkbook, scribbled down the amount of seven zeros, and said, "As long as Tony can be rescued, there is no upper limit on funding."

Now Pepper is full of confidence and expectations for Mike.

Mike didn't accept the check, "I said $100 million, no more money. People, you have to be trustworthy."

When he said this, Mike's heart was bleeding.

Happy was stunned for a moment, and began to feel that Mike was very obsessed with money. Why did he treat money like dirt now?

Pepper left a tablet, and Jarvis will put the collected information on the tablet for Mike to check.

Time is running out, so split up.

Chapter 18: Does Friendship Kiss Exist Between Men and Women

The things Mike needs to prepare are quite trivial, mainly guns and ammunition, clothing, and tools for survival in the wilderness desert.

Skye followed Mike to the underground base and watched Mike stuff things into the bag one by one.

Skye asked curiously: "I didn't expect there to be such an underground space, did you dig it?"

"No."

Mike replied, "Originally, it was supposed to be used to make a dung. I expanded, reinforced and remodeled it."

Skye said: "Aren't you afraid that I will expose your secret base?"

Mike gave Skye a strange look, "Didn't I tell you that I trust you. Besides, this base only puts some guns, ammunition and tools, nothing important. If you want to expose it, you will expose it. You look weird .”

"What's wrong?

"Very cute."

"It's this time, and you still play this old meme." Skye made a gesture to kick Mike, "Where's your team?"

"I do it alone."

"Do it alone?"

"correct."

"Fuck you!" Skye was furious, "Going to Central Asia to fight terrorists alone, are you crazy!"

"Not crazy, and the hardest part of this commission is to find Stark's location..."
