The legendary life of a manga

Chapter 67 I Can't Keep Up With My Age!

This is sure to get a promotion.

After all, the influence of this case is very great. If you don't get promoted, not to mention that the director does not agree, it is estimated that the mayor will not agree.

but……

Lake doesn't want to upgrade.

If you are going up, you can only sit in the office and cannot go out to work.

Sitting in an office is cool.

but……

There is no way to cheat and eat cheats. Although the money for sitting in an office is also a lot, if you add up the money for cheating and cheating, the income will not rise but fall at all.

Forget it.

Let's talk about it then.

Into the main hall.

Lake saw Tony Stark standing over the sofa watching the TV.

The appearance of Tony Stark is quite close to that in the movie, at most, not as old as when he appeared in the movie, but it is almost the same.

Pepper led Lake over: "Tony, this is Inspector Edwin."

Lake looked at Tony, but didn't reach out: "Mr. Stark."

This guy doesn't shake hands with people who aren't friends, this is all New York, no, probably the whole world knows about it, so Lake doesn't bother to make fun of himself.

By the way, this product doesn't seem to be a clean freak.

At least I didn't have any cleanliness when I was shy with those suspected public vases.

It was the director who ordered Lake to come this time. It should be the mayor who asked the director, and then the director who asked Lake. It is said that Tony Stark asked to meet him.

Is there any clue too?

Lake thought that this case was personally appointed by Tony Stark in front of him, so he thought it would be fine to come here. Originally, according to the plan, he also wanted to come and visit this person.

and so.

After Lake sat down on the sofa, he had no interest or time to curry favor with this rich man who could give tens of thousands of tips when he was happy, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Stark, do you have any clues to tell me?"

Tony Stark's expression changed.

Lake caught it.

Tony took the whiskey that Pepper handed over, took a sip, and looked at Lake: "You are in charge of this case, tell me."

Lake took the whiskey, thanked Pepper, and then looked at Tony: "I can ask why Mr. Stark handed over this case to me for investigation."

I give it to you?

I've been on vacation on a private island until yesterday, and I don't even know you.

Tony thought so.

at this time.

Pepper Potts, who was on the side, said to Lake, "Inspector Edwin, I'm sorry, I think there should be some problems."

Lake looked to Pepper.

Pepper glanced at Tony first, and after the latter nodded silently, Pepper turned to Lake and said, "Mr. Stark went to a private island for vacation the day before Christmas, and it was not until yesterday Back in New York, and Mr. Stark and I only heard about the restart of the investigation by the New York Police Department this morning."

Lake raised an eyebrow.

This……

"But...Mr. Stark donated [-] million US dollars to our police station at the fundraising reception. I have a group photo of the director and Mr. Stark at the reception, as well as the signature on the check."

As Lake said, he took out a photo from his pocket and a copy of a $[-] million donation check, and handed it directly to Pepper.

Again.

Tony Stark didn't shake hands or accept anything, so Lake chose to hand it directly to Pepper.

Pepper took over and said thank you, then looked at the signature on it, confirmed that it was indeed Tony's handwriting, and handed it to Tony Stark.

Tony Stark looked at the two pictures.

After a while.

Tony Stark looked up: "It's my signature, but it's not mine."

He has no time to sign.

At that time, he should be talking about life with vases on a private jet.

Lake took out the information brought over again, and handed it to Pepper: "This is the account number of the police station, and this amount was indeed transferred from Mr. Stark's bank."

The money received and the equipment replaced will not be faked.

Pepper glanced at it, handed it to Tony, and said, "That's the problem."

Lake didn't speak.

The money was transferred from Stark's own account, and Tony asked Jarvis this morning, but Jarvis's answer was surprising.

Jarvis said it was directed by Tony, and also released a backup of the dialogue at that time.

Tony checked the program of Jarvis, it was intact and there was no sign of intrusion, and the answer from the office of the company secretary responsible for the donation of equipment was also very convincing. They received instructions from Tony to handle it, and there was a record of the call at that time. testified.

Can……

Tony didn't remember any such incident at all.

This is the big problem.

Lake also felt unreal after listening: "What about the case, the authority to reopen the case was transferred to the New York Police Department by Mr. Stark after communicating with the FBI."

Pepper shook his head: "We asked a friend from the FBI, and he said that he did receive a call from Tony, and the restart process was transferred because of his friend."

Lake: "..."

This is so weird.

Obviously it was Tony Stark who used his own power to leverage the FBI and the New York Police Department to restart the investigation of the case. As a result, now, the person concerned said that he knew nothing about the matter.

But other than that, the donations received by the NYPD were genuine, and so were the phone transfers received by the FBI.

and so……

This is how the same thing.

And there are photos at that time as proof, someone can't modify the reality just to allow him to restart the investigation of the Howard Stark case, right?

In fact, the first thought in Lake's mind was the Skrulls.

but……

There is no reason, Nick Fury has been demoted at this time, and it is estimated that all he is thinking about at the moment is how to return to Sanfei decoration.

Who.

witch?

That's not right, how old is she at this time?
Thirteen?

Fourteen five six seven?
and also……

In Lake's memory, a witness appeared after 11 years in the car accident that should have had no witnesses.

Maybe that witness didn't even exist?
Or is it that the person hiding behind the scenes hasn't had time to modify it yet?

Lake was confused, and got up directly: "Sorry, I think there is a big problem with this matter, I'll go first."

Tony said, "Wait a minute."

Lake stopped and turned to look at Tony.

Tony said: "Inspector Edwin, I want to ask, is there really a turning point in the case of... my parents?"

Lake was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes, after re-researching the case and an anonymous email, my partner found someone who might have been at the scene of the crime and might have witnessed the truth of the car accident. the presence of witnesses."

Tony got up instantly: "Who is it?"

Lake didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking about it, he said directly: "Bruce Ralph!"

Anyway, even if Tony has no intention of avenging his parents, Lake has caught the Winter Soldier this time, and his partner Joe is still lying in the hospital at the moment.
