Chapter 44: Wolverine is still alive!

Outside the hotel, corpses were covered with white cloth, and the blood stains oozing from the corpses stained the white cloth red and white.

There were blood stains all over the bluestone floor, and some scraps of meat that couldn't be cleaned completely attracted a lot of blowflies.

The strong smell of blood could be smelled clearly even from across the street. The tragic scene even made many police detectives who had seen the big scene couldn't help but feel their stomachs churn.

"Oh my god, what the hell happened?"

Steve Rogers opened a white cloth, and the hideous corpse made his pupils constrict.

Scenes like this were rare even during World War II. There were more than thirty corpses, none of which were intact. They were either chopped into two pieces or directly bombarded into a pile of minced meat.

"The hotel is in disrepair and the surveillance equipment is no longer in use. We don't know what happened."

An agent spoke helplessly.

Initially, local residents called the police several times, saying that a violent fight had occurred. When the police arrived, only corpses were left on the ground.

The local police knew that this could not be an ordinary gang fight. After preliminary exploration, they could determine that there was definitely a supernatural force involved.

After many reports, S.H.I.E.L.D. was soon alerted.

SHIELD agents are currently investigating all the details.

"The deceased are all mercenaries, but one of them is special."

Natasha walked over and flipped the tablet in her hand, which displayed the information on the corpses. She selected one of the information, "Donald Pierce, the head of a security company, is currently conducting experiments on Project X." Room work."

"X laboratory?"

Steve wondered.

"A biological laboratory."

Natasha paused, looked up at Steve, swallowed the words in her throat, and changed her words: "I don't know exactly what it does. Fury may need to check it out."

"After preliminary exploration, it may have been done by mutants. The cutting positions of many body parts are already ripe."

Natasha looked at the corpses on the ground. The smell of burning corpses lingered for a long time.

"Mutants?"

This unfamiliar term once again made Steve slightly stunned.

Frozen for seventy years, he missed the most glorious period of mutants, and in his time, the concept of mutants had not yet become popular.

"A human whose gene has mutated and has superpowers."

Natasha shrugged, "But they are almost extinct, and there are very few traces of their activities now."

"Before the ice, I knew some humans with superpowers."

Steve nodded in understanding, squatted down, and carefully inspected the corpses. After a while, he said: "It seems that the murderer is not weak. There are dozens of elite mercenaries, and it seems that there is no room for resistance at all."

Steve has rich combat experience and can clearly deduce the strength of his opponent just by looking at the state of the corpse when it died.

"Captain Rogers, Chris Lawrence confessed."

Suddenly, an agent strode over.

"Are you finally willing to recruit?"

Steve stood up with a look of surprise on his face.

In fact, the hotel massacre was just an interlude during his visit to Santa Fe, and his real mission was still those Chitauri weapons.

As early as a few days ago, after Stark's monitoring device issued an early warning, they locked the Lawrence family's logistics warehouse and found the weapons there, and immediately arrested the warehouse manager Chris Lawrence. .

However, although the arrest process went smoothly, the interrogation process encountered many obstacles.

Steve had never seen someone survive being interrogated by SHIELD for so many days.

After several days, no information could be extracted from him.

At present, they still don't know the source of the weapons and whether they have other equipment besides this batch.

But this is understandable. After all, that guy is the local prince of Santa Fe City. He is used to covering the sky with one hand in Santa Fe City. He thinks that his local emperor father has the ability to recruit people from S.H.I.E.L.D., relying on this belief to be stronger. Also normal.

But what he doesn't know is that the current Lawrence family is also in danger.

The original partners saw that they had gotten into trouble with the special organization, and now they have all defected. They have withdrawn their capital, withdrawn their shares, financial disputes, etc., making Mr. Lawrence so busy that he has no time to recruit people. Of course, even if he had time, he wouldn't be able to take anyone away from S.H.I.E.L.D.

And Chris's willpower has obviously completely collapsed under the continuous torture.

"I'll leave this to SHIELD for now."

Steve spoke to an agent, and then quickly returned to the branch with Natasha.

In the dim interrogation room, Chris had long lost his former energy, and was slumped in a chair with bruises all over his body. The many days of torture made him look very depressed, and his eyes were dim, as if he had no hope of life.

Steve walked into the interrogation room, looked at Chris who was covered in injuries, and complained in a low voice: "Testimony obtained under torture cannot be presented in court for notarization."

Natasha shrugged, "We don't plan to go through legal proceedings anyway."

Steve was speechless and waved an agent to go forward and bandage Chris.

This is an important figure in this incident, and he cannot die.

After the bandaging was completed, Natasha patted the table and asked, "Tell me, where did the weapon come from? Are there any more?"

Chris raised his head weakly, with a look of exhaustion on his face, "It was brought by the Juarez family. After I learned the information, I sent someone to intercept the goods. It's just those two boxes. As for whether the Juarez family still has any, that has to go. Ask them."

Natasha rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Wouldn't it be fine if I had said this earlier?"

Things that can be solved in one sentence have to be delayed for so many days.

Chris didn't respond.

In fact, he didn't want to expose the Juarez family, not because of his good relationship with the Juarez family, but because the Juarez family had channels for smuggling those weapons.

He knew that those weapons were powerful, and as long as the Juarez family was not exposed, he could still go to Juarez to intercept the goods in the future.

But the methods of these agents were too terrifying. If he persisted, he might really die on the interrogation table...

After exhaling helplessly, Chris struggled and asked: "Can you let me go now?"

"I'm afraid not yet."

Steve shook his head sullenly, "You've committed more than just that."

He had read Chris's file. As a local prince from Santa Fe City, this guy's behavior was full of misdeeds. If he opened any page, it would be a felony worthy of being shot.

For example, in order to open a factory, the whole family of the residents on the site were killed, loan sharking forced countless people to break up and hang themselves, open underground casinos, trade organs, abduct women, etc. The crimes were too numerous to list.

"You're out of luck."

Natasha shrugged at Chris.

SHIELD may ignore these so-called evil bosses, but Steve will not. There is no room for crime in his eyes.

"Let me go, please. You should know that our Lawrence family is very powerful. As long as you let me go, you can give me the entire Lawrence family property."

Hearing this, Chris completely panicked and begged with all his strength. He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a day longer. The torture of the madmen from SHIELD made even death a luxury!

Steve just ignored these words, but there was still a question in his mind that was difficult to solve, so he asked again: "I have another question. More than ten days ago, the New York terminal intercepted the goods. Among those people, there is a guy with steel claws, who is it? "

"Steel Claw?"

Chris was stunned for a moment, then reacted, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and said quickly: "It's Wolverine, Logan Howlett, alias James!"

"impossible!"

When the word Wolverine hit her ears, Natasha immediately retorted, "He's already dead!"

Since the establishment of SHIELD, they have also been very interested in Wolverine, who was famous in the last century, but they have not been able to find him.

In these worlds, the only ones who can escape SHIELD are the dead!

"It's really him!"

Chris said with absolute certainty, "It's impossible to admit his mistake. Although that guy is a bit older, he is definitely Wolverine!"

"Logan?"

Steve recalled, the familiar face gradually becoming clear in his mind, "It's been seventy years, and he's still alive."

"Alive, really alive!"

Chris nodded repeatedly, and then quickly added: "By the way, I know where he lives, I will take you there!"
