Chapter 250 The Scapegoat! Evidence of Guilt that Can Never Be Washed Away!

"Jervis..." Edgar looked up and stared at him for a while, then said in a cold tone: "Just find a seat and sit down. I believe Ashley has already told you the details."

After Xia Shang sat down.

Edgar spoke again: "The fermentation speed of this matter is beyond our imagination. At present, Walter is under unimaginable public pressure. Whether it is the public, the New York Police Department, or even the Superhuman Office, they all want us to give an explanation as soon as possible. If it cannot be handled in time, the reputation of Walter and superheroes will be severely damaged. Regarding the severity of this matter, I don’t want to repeat it a second time.

And, judging from the current situation, it is basically impossible to rely on external forces to suppress public opinion."

"Mr. Edgar, I heard that when the incident happened, Homelander did not leave the Walter Building. Many employees can prove this. Does this mean that someone disguised himself as Homelander and killed Storm Girl, and his purpose was to frame Homelander." The Minister of the Propaganda Department said.

"But the people won't believe it. They will only think that Walter is covering up the truth and trying to exonerate his countrymen." Xia Shang shook his head.

At this point, no one will believe Walter's excuses and the so-called evidence.

"Then we can't let the public opinion develop like this. At least the appearance of another person can distract their attention." The Minister of Propaganda said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Edgar, I think you need to see this."

Ashley took the phone and walked into the conference room again, and came to Edgar's side, saying anxiously.

Looking at the photo on the phone screen, Edgar's face became even uglier, "Project this photo on the display."

"Okay."

Soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the picture on the display.

"This..." After seeing the tragic state of the corpse, the Minister of Propaganda almost vomited on the spot. His face suddenly became a little pale. After all, the shock brought to him by the photo in front of him was too great.

The reactions of the other ministers were similar to his.

They were pampered on weekdays, where had they seen such a bloody scene?

On the contrary, Xia Shang and Edgar, who remained calm, became the outliers among them.

"Who posted this?" Edgar asked.

"I don't know. It's an unregistered account, and these photos have not been banned. It's very strange." Ashley clicked on the publisher's information and replied.

"The wounds on the body are all burn marks left after laser cutting. At present, the only one who can do this... is probably..."

Xia Shang did not say his name.

But everyone present already had the answer in their hearts.

At this moment, even Ashley suspected that there was something wrong with her memory. Homelander obviously did not leave the Water Building, so how could he see the injuries caused by Cyclops on Storm.

On the other side.

Billy and others also saw the news on TV.

"Hou Li Crab?! Homelander actually killed Storm." After sighing, Frankie couldn't help but smile with relief.

Only Billy stared at Homelander on TV. This matter was too incredible, so incredible that he couldn't understand it.

"Something is not right. Although Homelander is not a good person, he is not a fool. How could he attack Storm in public and even kill her?" Billy felt that this matter was a bit strange. "Also, if I were Homelander, I would never let Storm's body be discovered by others. This is obviously done deliberately."

"You mean, someone disguised himself as Homelander and killed Storm?" Huey frowned.

At this time, Kimiko smiled and gestured to Frankie.

"Kimiko said that no matter who it is, as long as they kill Storm, they are her friends."

"I think what Kimiko said makes sense."

Huey agreed deeply.

"I feel that this matter must be related to someone." Billy exhaled slowly.

"Are you referring to the mysterious man?" Huey quickly guessed who Billy was referring to.

"This guy may have several superpowers, or this guy can imitate other people's superpowers." Even after seeing the wounds on the body that could only be caused by Cyclops, Billy still did not think that the murderer was Homelander.

"What on earth does he want to do?" Billy muttered.

"Who cares?"

Huey was still very happy about Storm's death.

"Don't forget, our first priority now is to find Soldier Boy." Some time ago, Huey and his team had found other members of the Blood Debt and Blood Payback Team, Soldier Boy's ex-girlfriend Scarlet Witch and his follower Gunpowder. From them, they got a lot of useful clues and learned that Soldier Boy did not die on the spot, but was captured by the Russian special forces.

At the same time.

The conference room fell into a dead silence.

In front of these photos, their previous ideas have been shattered. Obviously, with these photos, the black pot is definitely taken by Homelander. Even if they produce all kinds of evidence to prove that Homelander did not leave the Water Building at the time of the incident, it is useless. No one will believe the evidence they give, and they can't even distract attention.

"In fact, it's not that there is no way to whitewash Homelander." Xia Shang suddenly said.

Although the photos sent by Mallory are equivalent to a hammer, there is still a way.

"Tell me."

Just then, the Homelander actually pushed the door and walked into the conference room. He scanned everyone's faces and finally landed on Xia Shang's face.

Through radio wave induction, Xia Shang had already discovered that the Homelander was eavesdropping outside the house.

"I hope everyone can see this." Xia Shang took out the mobile phone he had prepared in advance and put it on the table in front of him.

"What is this?"

The Minister of Propaganda on the side couldn't help but pick up the phone curiously. When he saw the photo on it, he subconsciously opened his mouth and his pupils trembled.

"Let me see it." The other ministers, after getting the mobile phone one after another, all showed a shocked expression.

"How did you get this?"

The Minister of Propaganda's voice trembled slightly.

"A few days ago, Maeve found me. She accidentally found these photos in Storm's bag. At first, she wanted to hide it, but after thinking about it, she finally found me and wanted me to give an opinion." Xia Shang smiled.

"I wanted to find a suitable time to hand in these photos, but I never got the right opportunity, so I put them aside. However, it's not too late to take them out now, and I can help my countrymen."

"What a coincidence."

Edgar looked at the photo of Storm Girl and those Naque officers on his phone and said with a fake smile.
