048 Leviathan’s Killer

"I will ask Thompson to go to Washington and bring the Nazi scientist back as soon as possible. During this time, Howard's case will be led by you first."

"Isn't there still no progress in Howard's case? And I heard that Thompson found dead people when he went to Martinique. He didn't even see the shadow of the murderer. Director, it's not appropriate for you to hand over this kind of case to me." ." Isaac frowned and said. At this time, he was fully focused on finding Leviathan. It would be troublesome to get Howard's case. I believe that with the relationship between Peggy and Howard, this woman must be very active. There is no need for him to worry about finding evidence that will exonerate Howard.

"I believe in your ability, Agent Isaac. You must know that Colonel Phillips has expressed great recognition for you on your resume. If it were you, you would definitely be able to capture Stark." Dooley smiled. said.

"I hope so." Isaac shook his head, turned and left the office.

The Strategic Science Corps was originally founded as a five-in-one multi-functional organization integrating reconnaissance, infiltration, combat, intelligence, and research. Although after the end of World War II, the funding received by the Strategic Science Corps was significantly reduced, and it was also unable to recruit decent recruits. Talents, but fortunately Zeng Jin’s archives have been preserved, and perhaps news about Leviathan can be found there.

Just as Isaac was walking straight towards the archives room, Peggy's figure suddenly ran out from behind the support pillar in the hall.

"What are you hiding here for?" Isaac asked in confusion.

"Howard's matter has a breakthrough. I went to Martinique last night and found a finished nitrate from Raymond's safe." Peggy's face looked a little sad, and her voice was much deeper.

"Did something happen?"

"Come with me, I'll explain to you on the way." Peggy waved her hand, and the two took the elevator directly and left the SSR base.

……

Stark Industrial Research Building, Laboratory.

"Last night I got the nitrate from Raymond and returned to my residence. What I didn't expect was that a killer was following me. He killed me with a silenced pistol while I was inertizing the nitrate. roommate."

"This is really sad. What happened to the killer? Did you kill him too?"

"After I injured him, he jumped out of the window and ran away. It was obvious that I was the target."

At the experimental table, Peggy told Isaac about what happened after she left Martinique last night. No one knew where the killer came from or what he was for.

In addition to Isaye and Peggy, there were also Jarvis and a Stark researcher in the laboratory at this time. According to Jarvis, this person's name was Igor Vanke.

"Dr. Vanke, have you discovered anything?" Jarvis asked immediately when he saw Igor taking his eyes away from the microscope.

After Peggy used the method recorded in Howard's notes to inert the nitrate last night, she brought the spherical container filled with nitrate for analysis today.Dr. Vanke was an excellent researcher in Stark Industries, and Jarvis recommended him to Peggy.

"This is a lanthanum carbon alloy that is very difficult to maintain stable state, so it is usually not obtained through transportation." Igor said.

"That proves that this thing was not transported from too far away." Peggy immediately expressed her opinion after hearing this.

"Before World War II, there were only three refineries in the United States that could produce such a thing. But then the Franklin Chemical Plant was dismantled by the Navy, and the Eagle Star Plant was converted to the production of diesel. Currently, only the Roxon Petroleum Plant is still in operation. I recommend you You can go there and have a look." Igor said, taking off the eyes on his face.

"But the Roxon factory covers an area of ​​200 acres. It would take us at least several weeks to search it alone." Peggy frowned.

"Don't worry about this. If nitrate is in an active state, it will emit a small amount of Vita radiation. If you use instruments and equipment to detect Vita radiation, you can easily find the place where nitrate accumulates."

"Wait, are you planning to investigate the nitrate matter in depth now?" Isaac couldn't help but interrupt Peggy's speech, "This is just one of the things stolen by Howard, you don't need to go Investigate it so carefully."

"You are wrong about this. If we can find out where the molecular formula of those people who made the finished nitrate comes from, maybe we can find the guy who blew up Howard's vault. By then, Congress will be able to exonerate Howard. It’s proven.”

Facing Peggy's words, Isaac felt very helpless. The person who made the nitrate and exploded Howard's vault belonged to the same person, and that was Bennis. At this time, Bennis had already been sent to the New York Star by him. Oh, how could Peggy find the culprit?

"If Mr. Isaac is not willing to help, Miss Carter and I can work together." Jarvis said, standing silently for a long time.

He could tell from the night Howard left that Isaac was not very willing to help. According to Howard, the two of them used to be colleagues.

For Jarvis, who has been favored by Howard, his boss is a very important existence. If it were not for Howard's help, Jarvis would not be able to stay in New York safely now, nor would he be able to marry his current wife.Isaac's attitude directly made Jarvis, who had always been a gentleman, a little angry, because Howard was a very important person to him.

"It's up to you to do whatever you want. I don't plan to participate anyway. Dooley has now handed Howard's case over to me. If you need anything, you can come to me later." Isaac curled his lips indifferently and planned to leave this place. place.

"Howard has been very kind to you since you joined the Strategic Science Corps. You can be considered friends. I know you are special, but have you lived so long that your heart has become numb?" Peggy looked at Isaac. asked from behind. She and Howard were very good friends. At this moment, Howard had been charged with treason by Congress. As a friend, Peggy would rather take the risk of going to jail to help Howard investigate. circumstances to prove his innocence.

She couldn't understand Isaac's reluctance. Don't friends just want to help each other?

"Friends?" Isaac turned around and said calmly: "I have no friends, and I don't need friends."
