Chapter 88 Salt's Choice (15, please subscribe!)

After half an hour.

David Bass, who looks like a Martian in the next universe, but here is the New York State Operations Director of the Department of Homeland Security, is back.

Someone else came back with David Bass.

Michael, a German biologist with a certain reputation in the biological world.

Mike was confused.

He concentrated on writing another paper of his own at home. As a result, the door was kicked open, and then a group of federal agents shouting "DHS" pushed him directly onto the table.

What is this particular DHS?

data processing system?

"let me go!"

"let me go!"

Mike, who just got out of the car, was still struggling even though his hands were handcuffed: "I know my rights, you don't have any reason to arrest me, I want to see a lawyer, I want..."

Lake appeared, looked at Mike who was shouting to see a lawyer with a smile and said, "Relax, Mike, we are protecting you."

Mike stopped struggling: "Who are you?"

Lake ignored him, but he was about the same height as him, wearing a suit, and David, who was dark but not too dark, shook hands: "Thank you."

David whispered: "I'm betting my future with you."

Lake said, "Then you win."

Here comes the biologist, and now we can almost get to the point.

trial room.

Previously, she was sitting in the position of the Winter Soldier, but now she is sitting in the interrogation expert and intelligence analysis expert Evelyn Salt who had previously interrogated the Winter Soldier.

Salt's expression was very bad.

Especially after seeing Lake come in.

Salt looked directly at Lake who entered the door, laughed, and looked at the handcuffs on his hands: "Can I ask, what crime did I commit?"

Lake closed the door, turned around, looked up, and thought about it seriously: "Sin, does espionage count as a crime?"

Salt frowned: "What?"

Lycra opened the chair and sat down, calmly lit a cigarette for himself, and then said slowly: "I want to tell a story, maybe, it will save trouble after I finish it."

Salt: "..."

in the conference room.

Just after receiving the news, Director Sunil Bakshi, who rushed over from Langley, pushed open the door directly: "Minister Kelly..."

Sunil is now five points angry, three points surprised and two points puzzled.

Because the development of the story was completely different from what he thought, or, in other words, completely derailed.

Short was caught.

And he was arrested just after the plan was launched and before he had time to enter the theme?

This shit.

actually……

Lake's guess was partly right and partly wrong.

The right part is that Hydra, as Lake had guessed, wanted to use Short's organization to take the blame, used the opportunity of Short's organization to assassinate the president, and planted Hydra while cleaning Langley. people go in.

The wrong part is that Langley would have known, or Sunil Bakshi would have reported that Short was a spy at the right moment, say, when Short entered the White House and met with the president.

After all, Hydra wants to clean up Langley and install his own people, but he can't just clean up his own people. If Sunil does nothing, as the direct supervisor after Shott is turned into the back office, Sunil It is definitely also the object to be cleaned.

but……

Their plan has just started, and it hasn't happened yet. Good guy, Short was caught directly.

What is this for?

Sunil Bakshi was frightened and scared at the moment, and said directly to Minister Kelly sitting there: "Langley is helping the Department of Homeland Security entirely because of the request of the Department of Homeland Security, this time..."

Minister Kelly looked at the interrogation room on the big screen, and directly extended his hand to interrupt: "Director Bakshi should wait first, it will not be too late for the inquisition until the end of this interrogation."

Sunil Bakshi: "..."

in the interrogation room.

Lake exhaled a smoke ring, through the smoke, looked at Salt sitting opposite, smiled, and began to tell the story he wanted to tell.

The preparation is to rely on the memory in the memory bank to script.

"In 1975, during the Cold War, in a gymnasium in Grosny, a former Soviet Olympic wrestler named Sasha Fröd Shenkov was with Anja, the only female chess grandmaster at the time. ·Nurenkova meets..."

"Within a month, they were married."

"Within a year, they had a child."

"And then……"

"The child was pronounced dead because of a persistent high fever."

"But...that child is not dead."

Lake sat on the chair with his legs crossed, looked at the expression on Salt's face on the opposite side, and tilted his head: "Do you need me to continue?"

Salt was expressionless: "I don't know what you are talking about. What does it have to do with me when you say this."

Lake smiled and shook his head: "Shot, I want to give you a chance. Normally, if someone wants to kill me, I will not retaliate with virtue, but will kill his whole family, but you are different, I am willing to give you a chance."

Hydra is Lake's target this time.

others?

Lake is too lazy to get involved. If Hydra wanted the Salt organization to take the blame this time, Lake would be too lazy to take care of this matter even if he saw Short. And to a certain extent, Lake and Salt's organization both is the victim.

There is something to say.

An enemy of an enemy is a friend.

but……

Salt's expression remained the same, Lake smiled and continued.

"After Xuankov's daughter was declared dead, in fact, it became another asset."

"KGB!"

"Or... the red house is more accurate."

"There, a master spy of the Red House devised a great plan, the ultimate plan of a loyal patriot, and a plan capable of destroying the Union."

"His plan reminded me of the words of Dongguo, which is the dialogue between the demon ancestor and the Buddha."

"One day, I will ask my devil to enter your Buddhist school, wear your cassock, destroy your Buddhist teachings, distort your Buddhist teachings, and destroy your precepts..."

"That's what the spy master's plan was."

"He let those children receive the most authentic federal education, federal culture, and ideology. Xuankov's daughter was plastic surgery in a meticulous plan, and she became the only survivor of a car accident and sent back to the federal government. ."

"..."

Lake looked up at Short, who was on the opposite side, and spread his hands: "Look, I know everything, but, given the time constraints, I plan to skip to the end."

talking.

The door to the interrogation room was opened, and a notebook was brought in, along with a legal immunity letter just signed by the attorney general.

On the computer screen, Mike was held by the Homeland agent with a gun.

On the waiver, Short was exempted from all federal crimes.

Lake got up and looked at Mike in the notebook and then looked at his Shorter with angry eyes: "You have two choices, one is to use you as a tool like Langley and abandon your organization, or one is whether you are in A lover who never leaves you in any situation, you have ten seconds."

Say it.

Lake looked at the detective at the door.

The detective understood and pressed the stopwatch directly.

Seconds turn instantly.

Tick ​​tock!
