Chapter 1318 Interstellar Stage (Twenty-Five)
"This is Riley, this is Gwen, they are both Spider-Man, because they have Spider credits to hunt down the mastermind behind the trouble at the Expo, so they want to cooperate with us and investigate together." Cheng
The New Warriors are located in the base in the Bronx. Squirrel Girl pointed at Riley and Gwen to introduce them to the other members. Gwen was still wearing the hooded Spider-Man uniform, and when Jarvis's slightly gleaming eyes swept over her, his eyes flashed and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Riley nodded first, looked at the members of the New Warriors and said, "Yes, because your base is in the Bronx, it is more convenient for us to settle down. In fact, Gwen already had some clues before we came."
Gwen nodded, clasped her hands in front of her, stood there and said in a steady voice: "I found some clues in the newspaper, which may be useful for our investigation."
Night Thrush immediately led the two to the meeting group. The members sat down on the chairs. Gwen stood in front of the felt board with various clues nailed on it, and then she took He took out a hard drive and asked, "Is there a computer here?"
Everyone looked at Jarvis, who stretched out a hand and said, "Give it to me."
Gwen handed the hard drive over, and Jarvis held it in his hand. After a few seconds, he looked at Gwen and said, "How do you want me to show the contents of the hard drive? Projection?"
"Yes, projection will do." Cheng
Jarvis nodded, walked to the front of the table, took out a miniature projector from the cabinet next to it, held it in his hand for a while, and then placed it on the table.
Everyone looked sideways at the projection on the wall next to them. There were many photos of news on it. Gwen passed them one by one, and finally there was a picture of all the news together.
Gwen pointed at the pattern and said, "About two months ago, I noticed that a news team of the Global Times was constantly reporting on the customs and habits of the Bronx. From big news about relocation to small news about special foods, there is always a small column on the sub-page reserved for them."
Night Thrasher frowned and said, "What's so good about this place? Shouldn't Manhattan be the darling of local customs and habits news?"
Speedball Robert nodded and said, "Yes, when I lived in Manhattan before, it was the focus of New York City's tourism promotion because it was developed and beautiful. As for the Bronx? Those reporters wished that this area didn't exist because the crime rate here is high and the street scene is a bit chaotic, especially in those poor communities, where there are often hidden gentlemen on the streets."
"Reporters are hounds with a keen sense of smell. They know that those who pay attention to those tourist information are all middle-class people. Which rich person would think of traveling to the Bronx? Is it that Central Park is not enough for them to play? ?”
Gwen nodded again and said, “Yes, this is the anomaly I found. At that time, the protests in the Bronx had not yet erupted on a large scale, but this news column team has been tracking the trends in the Bronx. This is not normal at all.” Cheng
“What a genius idea.” Wanda, who was sitting behind Jarvis, commented, “How did you think of looking through newspapers from a few months ago to find clues?”
“In fact, I have always had the habit of clipping newspapers.” Gwen replied, “This is a habit I inherited from my father. It’s a bit old-fashioned, right? But his profession requires him to pay attention to the news in various districts all the time.”
Wanda suddenly realized that she actually knew Gwen’s true identity. Gwen was the daughter of the New York Police Commissioner, and the commissioner was also a responsible and pragmatic person. I’m afraid he has developed the habit of clipping newspapers since he was young. After all, information was not as developed as it is now at that time, and newspapers were an important means for people to understand the city.
"In other words, there is something wrong with this newspaper?" Night Thrasher touched his chin and speculated: "Or there is something wrong with this column team. They predicted that protests might break out in the Bronx, so they started reporting here a few months ago."
"In this way, some people who pay attention to the ecology of the Bronx will pay attention to this column. After the protests break out, these people will naturally believe their reports."
Gwen spoke again: "Since the protests began, many newspapers have rushed to report, but they all paid attention to the ecology of this area after the first protest. Only this column team started reporting here two months in advance."
"What is more convincing is ..." Gwen pointed to several reports on the screen and said, "These reports have beautified the ecology of the Bronx, especially they are beautifying the lives of civilians, emphasizing how happy they are to ride bicycles or walk to get off work every day. "Cheng
"Obviously this is whitewashing some of the violence in the protests. In fact, the Bronx has some bad security environment, making it very dangerous to walk at night here. "
"Walking at night in New York is a very dangerous thing." Wanda said, "Even for mutants, even if we have superpowers, we may not be able to defend against hidden guns. Pietro and I will try to avoid wandering the streets after 8 o'clock in the evening. "
"But the emergence of interstellar transportation has improved this." Gwen said in a calm and powerful tone: "The security system provided by the Stark Group makes the shuttle extremely safe. Even if you are drunk and fall on the shuttle, there will be a special intelligent medical monitoring system to pay attention to your physiological data. In two months, the medical robots inside the shuttle have treated more than 20 patients with sudden illnesses, with significant results."
"But no newspaper reported this." Jarvis said, he gently tapped his temple. Obviously, he had conducted a full-network search and the conclusion was not optimistic. He frowned slightly and said: "Someone controlled public opinion, but this is not new, and this column group that reported in advance is particularly suspicious."
Night Thrasher tapped the table lightly, stood up, and said: "Then now, let's investigate this column group."
Everyone stood up and planned to listen to Night Thrasher's assignment, but at this moment, Jarvis frowned, and a trace of Data streamed, he stretched out a hand to stop Nightthrush from speaking, and then said: "Wait a minute, breaking news!"
"Pierre, who led the protest on Dorance Street before, was found dead in his home about 6 hours ago. News reports said that the police had determined that he committed suicide, but just now the Bronx Police Department said that they have not yet launched an investigation into the incident and have not yet determined the case conclusion." Cheng
Nightthrush and Speedball Robert looked at each other, and Nightthrush said: "Sure enough, the TV station and the newspaper have the man behind the scenes... Come on, split up and start investigating now!"
"Jarvis and Wanda and the two new Spider-Men will go to the murder scene and the TV station to investigate. I, Robert, Pietro and Squirrel Girl will go to the newspaper to investigate. The fungus man will go to Matt's place. I always feel that things will not be that simple. If we need support, Jarvis will contact you immediately!"
Everyone nodded, then formed a circle and put their hands together.
"Let's go."
"Let's go!"
As soon as they went out, Jarvis deliberately fell behind, walked shoulder to shoulder with Gwen, and whispered in her ear: "Say hello to Peter for me."
Gwen's spider compound eyes widened slightly, she glanced at Jarvis, as if she had guessed something, she sighed, lowered her voice and said: "I really can't stand the other me's nagging, okay, am I not lively enough?"
Jarvis smiled, gently touched his upper eyelid, and said: "I have a vein scanning function, but it doesn't matter, Nick definitely doesn't."
Gwen sighed slightly, and said with a little complaint: "She said she was going to the laboratory today, but she wanted to earn points for the pursuit activity, so she had to let me come. I hope I don't meet my father!"
About 10 minutes later, Gwen saw a familiar figure at the end of Solon Street-his father George.
Gwen held her forehead and sighed, and said to the others: "You go over there, I will definitely be recognized by him."
"Aren't you wearing a uniform?" Wanda asked curiously: "You are wearing a mask, so it shouldn't be seen, right?"
Gwen shook her head and said: "There is no father in the world who can't recognize his daughter. It's useless to cover my face. If he knew that I was doing such a dangerous job, he would roar for three hours!"
Wanda laughed out loud, obviously thinking of someone, so she nodded and said: "Okay, you stay here to help us keep watch, we will be back soon." Cheng
Sure enough, they came back in less than 5 minutes. After they came back, Riley shrugged and said: "The body has been sent away, there are no clues to check. Director George came to the scene in person, and obviously he also wants to know who is behind it."
"He won't be in any danger?" Gwen seemed a little nervous.
"Don't worry." Jarvis said, "They have a lot of people, and the murderer is unlikely to return to the crime scene. There are indeed no clues at the scene, but I hacked into a nearby dashcam and found some clues."
"About half an hour ago, Officer Julie, who was the first to arrive at the crime scene, got a clue about a suspicious person from a Chinese delivery boy. They also deduced that there might be something wrong with the TV station or the newspaper."
"Officer Julie was reluctant to go back and apply for a search warrant because it was too slow, so she and the Chinese youth went directly to knock on the door of the TV station. Because he was Chinese and wearing a delivery uniform, it was easy to gain trust. After all, most people think that Chinese people avoid the police, and few people think they can cooperate."
Wanda nodded, put her thumb against her chin and said, "It seems that we think the same thing, so let's go to the TV station first!"
Not long after, the group took the shuttle to the New York TV station, but the TV station did not have only one program group. Although most of the column groups had gone off work, there were still many late-night program groups still busy at work. Cheng
Looking at the busy hall on the first floor, Jarvis frowned slightly, but soon his brows relaxed and he looked at Riley.
"What's wrong?" Riley asked in confusion.
"You can sneak in as Peter Parker. About three days ago, he was interviewed here, and the show will probably be broadcast the day after tomorrow. You can just say that you are here to confirm the broadcast with the program team."
"You shouldn't come so late, right?"
"Of course, you are a genius researcher. You just came out of the laboratory and ended your fulfilling time contributing to the future of mankind..."
"Oh my God, stop talking!"
Wanda looked at Jarvis, blinked, leaned close to his ear, and said in a voice that no one else could hear: "You really learned bad things." Cheng
Riley rubbed his hands nervously. He took a deep breath to encourage himself, and then found an alley to change his uniform and put it back on the sweatshirt and jeans that college students often wear.
Riley is Peter Parker after all, and knows Peter's style of doing things. He walked into the TV station with a smile on his face and nodded to everyone he met. It can be seen that many people in this universe know Peter Parker.
"Oh, yes, I came to the program team to confirm the broadcast." Riley smiled shyly at the front desk: "I was a little too focused on the experiment and forgot to make an appointment. I just came from the laboratory. If I disturb you, I will come again tomorrow."
"Yes, Mr. Parker." The front desk also smiled and said, "No need to disturb you, please go directly to the lobby on the 3rd floor and turn right to find Miss Aurela, she is in charge of this matter."
After Riley thanked him, he walked towards the elevator, but as soon as he walked in, he saw a familiar face.
"Xu Shangqi!"
