Chapter 659: The Victim Is in Good Condition (Part 1)

Gotham, a morning that was still neither warm nor bright, the coffee machine made a "gurgling" sound, one hand holding a cup, put it under the coffee machine, waited until the steaming coffee liquid flowed into the cup, Schiller held the coffee cup, sat on his chair, and let out a long breath.

"Dingling..." The bell on the table by the door rang, and the guard put the newspaper brought by the newsboy on the table and left. Just as Schiller stood up to get the newspaper, his female colleague Anna hurried in with a bag.

"Oh, you are back from vacation?" Anna looked Schiller up and down and said, "You look much better in spirits. Vacations make people younger, right?"

"It should be said that life outside Gotham makes people younger. It is always good to get more sun." Schiller took the newspaper, sat back in his original position, opened the newspaper, and read it with relish.

Anna put down her bag, picked up another newspaper, frowned and flipped through it, saying, "The latest headlines are either Moscow or Mexico. Damn it, no one talks about something more down-to-earth?"

Before Schiller could answer, Anna continued, "Our CIA is really stupid. They had to do it on the day he took office. Now they are being scolded. They deserve it."

Anna threw the newspaper on the table in annoyance and said, "Don't think I don't know. Before, there were agents who tried to sneak into Gotham University to install cameras. What do they think of the school?"

"Do you think it was the CIA who did it?"

"What else?" Anna turned to Schiller and asked, "You don't believe it, it was his competitor I think the ghosts, I think it is completely dirty water, how can it be so stupid? "" I feel that it is really possible. Well, there is no new progress. The two of them framed each other and mixed with a bunch of current affairs political critics. Is there nothing well? "" Do you think it is their internal fight? The love bureau is very opinionation? "The cameras they installed are not waterproof."

"Ahem!" Victor almost choked on his coffee and said in surprise: "What are they thinking? Don't they know Gotham..."

"That's why I said that they must have done it. They are always stupid." Anna curled her lips and said.

"I think their cameras are not waterproof, most likely because of insufficient funds. As for why the funds are insufficient... Schiller shook his head and didn't continue. Anna added: "...It's nothing more than the difference between stupidity and greed."

Schiller closed the newspaper, put it aside, drank the coffee in his hand, and started a new day of work.

After the window was opened, a gust of wind blew in, blowing the corners of the newspaper into a flutter. The front page of the first newspaper on it read "Merchant assassination? We will never admit such shameless slander! "

However, it is not that if you do not admit it, you will not be suspected. The top leader of the Soviet Union is dead, and he was assassinated on the day of his election victory. So, who is the biggest suspect?

It can't be Poland, right?

At this stage of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, everyone in the world who reads the news knows that the two of them are at odds with each other. So, who else could have done it when one of the leaders was assassinated?

In this era, in order to prove that they are the strongest, both sides are unwilling to bow their heads. They not only want to save face, but also face. Assassinating leaders is obviously very embarrassing and will be considered another way of showing weakness.

It's like two academic masters are competing in academic performance, and one of them swings his fist first. Isn't this equivalent to admitting to the world that I am Did they resort to such a despicable method because they could not match his performance?

The current US government still has to save face, or the blow of public opinion can still hurt them, so they denied it immediately and started an internal investigation to find out who did it.

Yes, the Congress also felt that it should be their people who did it. After all, apart from them, no one else had such a big grudge against the Soviet Union.

The assassination at the inauguration ceremony was more like a demonstration and revenge than really wanting to kill this person. The person who did it must have a grudge against him, but there were too many people who had a grudge against the Soviet leader. The line could circle the earth, and the United States was indeed the only country that had the ability to successfully assassinate him.

Of course, the first person they investigated was the killer in black and yellow uniforms.

Deathstroke uses his real name to log on the internet in the mercenary circle, and it didn't take much effort for them to find the information of this mercenary named Deathstroke.

And not only did they find it, but the KGB also found it. Now, the KGB has the most powerful evidence. Deathstroke is an American, and his profession is a mercenary. Isn't this the American way? And you still say it wasn't you who did it?

Congress refused to admit it to the outside world, and put pressure on the CIA internally, asking them to find out who did it quickly, but the CIA was also innocent. Before, Congress asked them to focus on the Mexican affairs and never be distracted. They did it, and when this happened, they were still the unlucky ones.

But no matter how angry they were, they still had to investigate. The CIA investigated and investigated, and finally came to a conclusion that the person might be hired by us, but they couldn't find out who hired him.

Or, it's not that they can't find it, but they dare not investigate. If you want to talk about suspicion, everyone has it, but the CIA can't go to Capitol Hill and reveal everyone's background, right?

Although the official refused to admit it, because they really couldn't produce any evidence of internal fighting in the Soviet Union, their rebuttal seemed unreliable. Although they also sought support from some countries, anyone who heard about it would basically think that it was done by the United States.

The reaction in the Soviet Union was even more intense. As I said before, even if the Cold War had reached its end, the two countries still had to save face. If the United States wanted to overturn the table first, don't blame us for being rude. On the night of the incident, the Kremlin sounded the emergency alarm.

The Soviet side said that it would take a series of counterattack measures, including preheating nuclear missile silos, and was not afraid to start a hot war at any time.

The measures were always quick and the attitude was always tough. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if the upper echelons were all bought off, they had to at least pretend to be angry.

But this act also made the US government very angry. They spent a lot of money to support their own people in Moscow. As a result, after the incident, you didn't help to reconcile quickly, and you acted so tough? Then my previous money was wasted, right?

However, the two-faced people caught in the middle felt very aggrieved. If they wanted to keep their positions, they had to follow public opinion and behave very radically. If they expressed their opinions and tried to smooth things over, they might be caught by their political opponents and attacked and forced to step down.

If you want to pretend, you have to pretend like it, but if you want to pretend like it, you must take a tough attitude. The Soviet Union's style has always been like this. Whoever kneels first will have the words "I am a traitor" written on his face, right? No one wants to be the first to stand out.

What is even more troublesome for the CIA is that the most shameless person they have supported at a great cost is the one who was killed. At this time, his mind is open and he will definitely not survive.

Most of the rest are still wavering, wanting to get benefits from both sides. They usually say that it is good, but at the critical moment, the CIA found that this group of people is not worth much use at all. The huge amount of funds invested have fed a group of ungrateful people.

This led to the CIA to reflect on whether the strategy of infiltrating the Soviet Union was wrong. The people who had proposed and managed this plan were also criticized.

After proposing this plan, they spent a lot of time, energy and money to impress those fence-sitters, but now that something has happened, those people either look like they need more money or simply turn their backs on them.

Whether they are pretending to be high-profile and want more, or they think that the United States is too stupid to do such a thing and is not worth relying on, in short, there is a very big rift between the CIA and these fence-sitters.

In fact, they should have understood long ago that unreliable people are always unreliable. People who can be bought by them can naturally be bought by others. Even if they are not bought by others, their first reaction in an emergency is definitely not to work hard, but to raise the price.

Knowing that this group of people is unreliable, the CIA began to find a way to clarify it themselves, but they have no evidence. They themselves don’t understand whether it is their own people who did it. Even most people tend to think that it is their own people who did it. Now they just want to get rid of this blame as soon as possible.

In the CIA's Metropolitan base, Kayla sat on a chair and sighed deeply. Her two dark circles showed that she probably had no rest in the past few days.

Kayla took a sip of water and said in a hoarse voice: "What did the higher-ups say? Do we need to continue looking for evidence?"

The subordinate sighed and said: "Yes, the order has never changed, that is, to prove as soon as possible that it was not us who did it..."

"I remember that you also graduated from the police academy." Kayla looked at the subordinate and said: "The school should have taught you that if you want to analyze whether a person has a motive to commit a crime, you have to look at his relationship with the victim, and analyze from behavior and psychology whether he needs to kill the victim."

"Now, the Soviet Union is the victim and we are the suspects. If we want to prove that we have no motive to commit a crime, we have to prove that we don't need to kill the victim."

"Do we need to?" the subordinate asked.

"From the public's point of view, of course we need to, because we are mortal enemies. Ordinary people will not think so much. They will only think that if a person dies, it must be his biggest enemy who did it. We are the biggest enemy of the Soviet Union." Kayla put down the cup and said with pursed lips.

"But..." The subordinate lowered his voice and said: "Didn't we say it before? The new person who came to power wants to promote democracy, which is beneficial to us, so why do we need to kill him?"

"You can say it more bluntly. He was bribed by us. Then the question is, how do we explain this?" Kayla stood up and walked to the whiteboard, drawing and saying:

"If we want to prove that we don't need to kill him, we have to announce to everyone that he is our man, so that we can come to the conclusion that 'we don't need to kill our own people'."

"Announce to the world that the top leader of the Soviet Union is me Our people... "Kayla pursed her lips and said, "It's like cutting an artery to stop the bleeding of a wound."

"You can do this, but you can't say it." Kayla shook her head and said, "Even if we really win, we can't say it. We can only say that their theory is untenable and has led to an irreversible tragedy. This is the only way to prove that we are right."

The subordinate also sighed and said, "Now the whole system is checking itself, just to find out who did it. Who is he?"

In a place where the subordinates can't see, Kayla turned back, showing a complicated expression, she said, "Yes, who is he?"
