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

In Gotham, it was still a morning that was neither warm nor bright. The coffee machine made a "gudugudu" sound. He held the cup in one hand and placed it under the coffee machine. Waiting until the steaming coffee liquid flowed into the cup, Schiller took the coffee cup, sat on his chair, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Ding bell..." The bell on the table next to the door rang. The doorman placed the newspaper delivered by the newsboy on the table and left. Just when Schiller stood up to get the newspaper, his female colleague Ana hurried in carrying her bag.

"Oh, you're back from vacation?" Anna looked Schiller up and down and said, "You seem to be in a much better state of mind. Vacations make people younger, right?"

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

Anna put down her bag, picked up another newspaper, flipped through it with a frown, and said: "The latest headlines are either Moscow or Mexico. Damn it, doesn't anyone talk about something more down-to-earth? ?”

Before Schiller could answer, Anna said to herself: "Our CIA is really stupid. They had to take action on the day he took office. Now, they deserve to be scolded."

Anna threw the newspaper on the table angrily and said, "Don't think I don't know. There were agents who wanted to sneak into Gotham University to install cameras. What kind of place do they think the school is?"

"Do you think it was the CIA?"

"What else?" Anna turned to look at Schiller and asked, "You won't believe that it was his competitors who did it, right? I think it was completely the CIA spreading dirty water. How could those people be so... stupid?"

"I think it's really possible that other Soviet leaders did it." Victor walked in, put his briefcase and umbrella aside, picked up a newspaper, and stood in front of the coffee machine. , while waiting for the coffee to be brewed, he glanced at the headlines and said:

"Well, there is no new development. The two of them framed each other, and it was mixed with a bunch of quarrels among current affairs political commentators. Isn't there nothing insightful to say?"

"You actually think they are fighting among themselves? However, even if it is really fighting among themselves, the CIA must be involved. They are the best at doing this kind of stupid things." Anna controlled the chair to turn back and began to write a lesson.

"You seem to have a problem with the CIA?" Schiller asked.

"Of course, they were here before you came. Guess how their plan to install cameras failed?" Anna asked without raising her head.

"How did it fail?" Victor asked curiously as he sat on his seat with a cup of coffee.

"The cameras they installed are not waterproof."

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

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

"I think the reason why their cameras are not waterproof is probably because of insufficient funds. As for why the funds are insufficient... Schiller shook his head and did not continue. Anna added: "...it's just the difference between stupidity and greed. "

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

After the window was opened, a gust of wind blew in, blowing the corners of the newspaper. The front page of the first newspaper above said clearly, "Assassination for hire? We will never admit such shameless slander!"

However, it's not that if you don't admit this, you won't be suspected. The supreme leader of the Soviet Union is dead, and he was shot and assassinated on the day he won the election and took office. So, who is the most suspicious?

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 can read the news knows that if the two of them do not deal with each other, then if one of the leaders is assassinated at this time, who else can do it?

In this era, in order to prove that they are the strongest, both parties are unwilling to bow their heads. They not only want to save themselves, but also want to save face. Assassinating a leader is obviously very humiliating and will be considered another sign of weakness. Way.

It's like two top students competing for academic performance, and one of them punched first. Isn't this equivalent to admitting to the world that I resorted to such despicable methods just because my grades were not as good as his?

The current US government still wants to lose face, or in other words, the blow from public opinion can still hurt their muscles and bones. Therefore, they immediately denied it and then began an internal investigation to find out who did it.

Yes, people in the Congress also felt that it was their people who should have done it. After all, apart from them, no one had such a big hatred 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 so many people who had grudges against the Soviet leader that there was a queue. The United States is indeed the only one who can circle the earth and have the ability to successfully assassinate someone.

Of course, the first target of their investigation was the killer in the black and yellow uniform.

Deathstroke was online under his real name in the mercenary circle, and it didn't take much effort for them to find the information about the mercenary named Deathstroke.

And not only did they find it, 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?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!

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 unlucky.

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 who hired him was completely untraceable.

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 has reached its end, the two countries still have to save face. If the United States wants to overturn the table first, don't blame us for being rude. On the night of this 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 persuade them to make peace, and you acted so tough? Then my previous money was wasted, right?

However, the two-faced people caught in the middle felt very wronged. 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 be 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 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 makes the CIA even more headache 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 it's 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, which can do such a thing, is too stupid and unworthy of reliance, 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 have not figured out whether it was their own people who did it. Even most people tend to think that it was 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 superiors say? Do we still 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."

"Then do we need to?" the subordinate asked.

"From the public's perspective, of course we need to, because we are sworn enemies. Ordinary people won't think so much. They will only think that if a person dies, it must be done by his biggest enemy. We are the Soviet Union's biggest enemy." Kayla put down the cup and said with pursed lips.

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

"You can put it more bluntly. He was bribed by us. So the question is, how do we explain this?" Keira stood up, walked to the whiteboard, and said while drawing:

"If we want to argue that there is no need for us to kill him, we have to announce to everyone that he is one of ours. Only then can we come to the conclusion that 'we do not need to kill our own people.'"

"Announce to the whole world that the supreme leader of the Soviet Union is ours..." Kayla pursed her lips and said, "It's like making a cut on an artery to stop the bleeding."

"This kind of thing can be done, but it can't be said." Keira 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 leads to irreparable consequences. This tragedy can prove that we are right.”

The subordinate also sighed and said: "Now the entire system is conducting self-examination, just to find out the person who did it. Who is he?"

Out of sight of her subordinates, Keira turned around and showed a complicated expression. She said, "Yeah, who is he?"
