Chapter 2302 Gotham Music Festival (41)
Amanda and Oliver realized they couldn't stand here talking anymore, because it was clear that the two bodies were not part of any of their plans.
The two of them looked at each other and had a tacit understanding to go downstairs to see the body on the first floor.
As soon as they walked down the stairs, the two of them came face to face with a female corpse. This must have been thrown in from the deck window. The whole body was in a falling posture, but the most terrifying thing was that the woman's face was missing. .
"Flamingo." Amanda said in a deep voice: "He will peel off the other person's face and eat it after committing the crime. This can be regarded as one of his symbols."
"Plagiarized." Oliver said as he stepped forward to check the condition of the body and said: "The source is a paper written by Professor Schiller. Later he seemed to want to start a quarrel with Professor Pig Face, but these two I don’t care about him personally.”
Amanda felt ridiculous.
"You don't mean to say that he's screwed in some serial killer's club, and I should laugh at him, right? Why the hell does this kind of club even need to exist?!"
"At least it helps us understand serial killers." Oliver squatted down, gently turned the female body over and said, "There are no signs of rape. She died very quickly. She should have been strangled."
"The flamingo is not on the second floor." Amanda said: "Even though he was wearing a mask, he turned into ashes and I could recognize him."
"Maybe he is a character who appears in the third round. Don't forget that there are still some people who have a bye. And not everyone who comes on board has to choose an opponent to challenge. He may be a special link."
Oliver then checked the female corpse's arms, and then her abdominal cavity, but at this moment, there was a bang on the deck.
As the crowd retreated in panic, Oliver saw another body being thrown down, and his face darkened.
"They are killing people indiscriminately!" Amanda said with anger in her tone: "They are just trying to cause panic."
"I told you, they are on the same side as you." Oliver narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid your boss not only sent agents in, but also contacted them in order to create panic on the ship so that everyone could be buried on the ship. here……"
"But they themselves will die, how could they..."
"How do you think this ship managed to avoid being traced by so many authorities?"
Amanda looked at Oliver with some confusion.
"There are two possibilities, either the owner of the boat has contacts with all these departments and they are opening the door for him."
"Impossible, no one has such face." Amanda shook her head and said: "The relationships between the parties that manage the ocean are so complicated that I can't figure it out even if I am in it. It is almost impossible for them to sell one person's face at the same time. "
"Then there's something wrong with the ship itself, or there's something wrong with the ship and the sea." Oliver looked down at his feet and said, "I discovered before that when the bet was going on, the blood in the blood pump almost didn't shake at all. And after the accident, the sea became calm.”
"Super-powered criminal?"
"It is more likely that it is a superpower organization. They can control the ship and the surrounding sea areas, so that the ship's god can appear and disappear without anyone noticing, making it impossible for any human law enforcement agency to catch it. "
"You mean they cooperated with the FBI? The people sent by the FBI to the ship were responsible for capsizing the ship, and the group of superpowers were responsible for rescuing the important figures of the FBI?"
Oliver shook his head and said: "It's more likely that the FBI knew what this organization was, so he told his subordinates that we will send people to rescue you in the sea at the critical moment, but in fact we won't at all. You know them best." , isn’t it?”
Amanda covered her forehead and let out a long sigh. She had to admit that what Oliver said was right. This is the most likely scenario at present. All kinds of law enforcement agencies in the United States are very good at deceiving people into dying. It can be said that this is their special skill. ability.
"It doesn't matter, the situation is still under control." Oliver nodded and said: "Judging from the clothes, the people who died are all people on the second floor. Most of them have died socially. Now our main goal is to protect Dear tourists on the first floor, we..."
Zila - click!
Suddenly, the entire cruise ship went dark, and all electrical equipment stopped working and went out at the same time.
In the darkness, Amanda looked at Oliver with the shining whites of her eyes and said, "Is this also part of your plan?"
"Of course not, what the fuck is going on?!"
Twenty minutes ago, Natasha and Stark separated because the device on Stark's mecha detected an abnormal energy reaction, not on the ship, but in the sea around the ship.
He was more interested in this energy reaction, so after helping the ship stabilize its hull, he followed the energy reaction into the sea.
And Natasha needed to go to the first floor, because Tupac told her before that a woman contacted him and said she would wait for him on the first floor.
Natasha guessed that this woman was related to Oliver and helpful to the current situation, otherwise Tupac would not have been able to tell her about it in such an emergency.
Natasha followed the staff passage to the first floor. By this time, the ship had stopped and the water had receded. As soon as she reached the lounge corridor on the first floor, Natasha smelled the smell of blood.
She immediately moved along the corner of the wall, and through the small window on the door, she saw a woman dragging the body of a man upstairs through the employee passage. Or rather, it was actually a girl, who looked to be less than 20 years old.
Natasha took a step to the left and appeared behind the girl. When the girl suddenly turned back, she raised her hands and said, "I have no ill intentions. The black rapper named Tupac asked me to come to you."
The girl did not relax her vigilance at all. She raised her pistol and aimed it at Natasha's head. Natasha remained still and said in Russian: "I am a KGB agent. Chairman Romanov greets you. Long live the Communist International!"
The girl hesitated immediately, but still did not completely let down her guard. Natasha knew that there was no S.H.I.E.L.D. in this universe, so she directly said: "Natasha Romanov, born in Stalingrad in 1928, was assigned by Stalin He was trained in the Red Room and later joined the 8th Bureau of the KGB. In 1967, he was assigned by his superiors to lurk in the United States for a long time. After the Mexican Revolution broke out, he turned to underground activities. "
She said these words in Russian, but the girl opposite could obviously understand them, and said in the same fluent Russian: "Can I trust you?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. All I want to know is what Oliver Queen did. I believe you have a close relationship with him, and I believe those news reports are not the truth."
The girl seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. She let out a long sigh, threw down the body in her hands and said, "Black Canary, you can call me Dinah. What mission did they give you? To bring Oliver back to the Soviet Union?"
"We have no intention of doing this, because we will not treat an outstanding revolutionary as a criminal just because of a conspiracy. If you listened to today's news broadcast, you will know that our country unanimously believes that this conflict is a tragedy. And Oliver Queen shouldn't be the one responsible."
"It's too rare." Black Canary said sarcastically: "And the judgments you made in the past few years were much more hasty than this."
"I'm sorry, but we weren't doing well at that time." Natasha immediately knew what she was talking about, so she shook her head and said: "In those years, Swan Lake was released every day in Moscow, and the people faced too many We had little patience for the bad news, but it’s getting better now.”
"It seems that this is indeed the case." Black Canary actually recognized these words. She nodded and said: "Although I didn't really participate in it, Oliver also mentioned that your several phone calls had a great impact on him. Encourage me to think that some of you are extremely experienced and still have your hearts set on justice.
"I feel honored." Natasha tried her best to restrain her expression and nodded.
But Black Canary still seemed to see something. She walked towards Natasha, stood in front of her and said, "You said you were born in 1928, but you don't look that old."
"I've undergone body modification."
"One of the mistakes?"
"No, I'm still flattered by it now, we were fine then."
Natasha wasn't sure whether she controlled her expression perfectly. The last time she had such doubts was when she was an apprentice.
"Tell me about what you did in Mexico and I hope to be able to convey it fully to Moscow."
"Are you sure? At this time?"
Natasha nodded.
So Black Canary began to tell her, but in fact her story was incomplete, because she was only rescued by Oliver after the base in Guadalajara had been developed.
"I have a grudge against an international drug trafficking organization." Black Canary sighed and said, "You may have heard of the Confess Cartel. They have become very famous recently. They claim to be the largest drug trafficking organization in the United States and Mexico. Their headquarters is in Guadalajara.”
"I was kidnapped by them, and Oliver rescued me, and that's how we got to know each other. When I returned to the base with him, I still adhered to the American mentality and felt that they were just warlords who paid to fight. However, Later I found out that this was not the case. They have been helping farmers, and the methods of help... I don’t know what to say, I have never been exposed to these.”
"Just tell me what you saw. No need to comment or explain."
Black Canary nodded and began to describe to Natasha what she saw and heard in Guadalajara. She only said what she saw Oliver and the others did without adding any subjective judgment.
This girl is still young, but judging from the fact that she was able to get into such a large criminal organization at less than 20 years old, she is not an ordinary person, so her description is very accurate and full of details, objective and rigorous. It is also lively and not verbose. One thing can be explained in three or two sentences.
Natasha listened with rapt attention, and she didn't even react until Black Canary talked about the conflict breaking out.
Black Canary's tone deepened and she said: "I have been involved in all actions against the Penitent Cartel. I know what kind of person Oliver Queen is. There is no way he would do something like that."
"I think the problem with Carlos is that he didn't look like a native of Mexico from the beginning, but he did save a lot of people, led several successful operations, and was very popular at the time."
"On the contrary, it was Oliver's suggestion to stabilize the base at the time that made people think he was wasting a good opportunity. Later, when he took the initiative to deal with the Penitent Cartel, he was accused of risking his brother's life."
"In short, everything collapsed almost in an instant, and the hero fell at a speed as fast as the sky and the earth. I was so desperate that I was most worried that Oliver would not be able to bear it all."
Black Canary looked up at Natasha, and was shocked by the coldness and murderous intent in her eyes.
"He is too weak." Natasha said: "Let him go back and throw Carlos and everyone into the sea, and go back immediately."
Black Canary was stunned, she said: "This... is this advice from Moscow?"
"This is from Stalin, I know he would say that."
