Baker, and even most citizens of New York, had thought that the trial regarding whether vigilante Peter Parker should be held responsible for the deaths of three police officers would be quick.
but……
I never thought it would be so fast.
On the third day after the trial started, it ended because the prosecutor and the defendant reached an agreement.
Five years in prison, with no chance of parole for two months.
You must be kidding me.
Most people who are following this case and siding with the NYPD feel like they have been fooled by the district attorney.
Nothing else.
At the beginning, they were clamoring that the death penalty was not considered, but in the end, they suddenly gave in and changed from the death penalty to a trivial five-year sentence?
are you crazy?
Of course, many people automatically ignore the line of fine print after the sentence, but that line of fine print is precisely the most important.
"Ten million dollars?"
Baker put down the newspaper as he wanted to laugh, shook his head at Barbara who was drinking hot cocoa across from him, and said, "Ten million, even if Peter is sold by the gram, it's not even worth that much."
Barbara raised her head: "Didn't you say you don't care about this case?"
Baker shook the newspaper: "The report on this case is right next to me playing Scrabble. It's hard for me not to pay attention. Besides, aren't you curious?"
"curious?"
"Where did Peter get ten million?"
As Baker said this, he suddenly felt an inexplicable hatred for Barbara who looked indifferent. He shook his head and said: "How can a poor student get a thousand dollars in such an obviously fishy case?" Wan, by the way, your SHIELD is so indifferent?"
Barbara was a little speechless: "That's also a matter of the IRS, not SHIELD."
IRS.
There are many law enforcement agencies in the Federation, but with so many law enforcement agencies, even Aegis, they all belong to the younger brother in front of I[Baidu]RS.
Only death and taxes are inevitable.
As strong as someone like Bei, when I was an assassin, every money I got was after paying taxes. There is a saying that in the federation, if you mess with the FBI, you may be able to hide, but if you don't pay taxes, If the IRS finds out, haha, even if you go to a country where potatoes are grown, the IRS will dare to drag you to the federal government and ask you to pay taxes.
Moreover.
Barbara said to Baker: "Where is SHIELD's law enforcement authority? Besides, the families of the three victims are very satisfied with the compensation. The New York Police Department and the District Attorney have announced that it is over. At this time What does Aegis look like when it runs up there?"
All cases have been closed.
SHIELD is asking for trouble by running in at this time. The families of the victims have chosen not to pursue it anymore. Why would you, an outsider, come in and join in the fun? And the culprit, Electro, is still in SHIELD.
What if the New York Police Department gets angry and directly conducts a one-month inspection for illegal parking? SHIELD will probably be unable to bear it.
Baker pursed his lips: "This is Hong Guoguo paying for your life!"
Barbara was a little curious: "You really want Peter Parker to be sentenced to death?"
Baker shrugged, folded the newspaper with a chuckle, and said, "None of my business. I just saw this news suddenly, and then I became interested in the financial backers behind Peter Parker."
Barbara nodded: "Okay, after you find the news? Tell me."
Baker was slightly startled: "Tell you?"
Barbara smiled: "Because? I'm curious too."
Baker: "..."
Are you treating me like a coolie again?
Baker was thinking this, but Barbara had already made it clear that SHIELD didn't care about Peter Parker and was unwilling to intervene in the investigation to avoid conflict with the New York Police Department, and Baker was very curious.
so……
Baker made several phone calls after Barbara left home for work.
"what?"
"Have you read Spider-Man's case?"
"Looked at it."
"Who paid for him?"
"This is the FBI? Not the IRS."
"I remember that the partner of TNT&G was a Yale student from the same class as you."
"Then what?"
"Who gave the money?"
"If you're not interested, you have to ask yourself."
"..."
Baker looked at the hung up phone and his eyes twitched slightly. Good guy, believe it or not, I directly reported you for corruption and bribery and even made a big deal with the FBI? I even turned the Internal Affairs Department into a mascot. thing?
at this time.
The phone rings.
Baker glanced at it and sneered twice? Connected.
"Are you there?"
"explain."
"Have your angels come down and take someone to heaven."
"hehe."
"Stop haha? Our deputy director's daughter is dying of bone cancer due to a bone transplant gone wrong? Do you want to do this for me? I'll tell you who is behind the money."
"I feel like I'm at a loss."
Trading a place in heaven for a piece of gossip? There is no need to calculate this at all. This is a loss-making deal, and it is a very loss-making deal.
but.
Baker still agreed, but he had no choice. He heard that after the previous Attorney General resigned, the new Attorney General planned to conduct an investigation into the New York FBI, and that guy was trying to find allies to block this investigation.
It is said that the guy has never been timid, but this time it seems different. It seems that the newly appointed Minister of Justice is one of the guy's ex-girlfriends.
As we all know, Baker is a man with a warm heart, so after much consideration, he still chose to agree to this condition. Baker wanted the guy to go to jail, but he wanted it all, and no one else could even think about it. .
One month later.
Just when Baker almost felt that he had been let off by that guy again, a federal agent came to deliver a piece of information.
but……
Before Baker had time to look, he raised his eyebrows and suddenly discovered something. The surveillance guard he had installed at New York's JFK International Airport sent a signal.
Peter Parker left the country?
destination?
Norway?
Baker picked up the phone and dialed Barbara's number directly.
Unfortunately, no one picked up.
Barbara is upset.
Nothing else.
Xin Zhao and Tony's first joint mission was also completed. They had just returned to New York. The mission was completed successfully, and another base of the remnants of Hydra was successfully destroyed.
but……
There were also unexpected casualties.
And Peter Parker?
After serving a month in prison, he was immediately released on bail. Then, before he could understand what had happened, he had already arrived at JFK International Airport with a full set of prepared documents. After being scrutinized by the security personnel, he had He got on a private plane in a daze and flew away from the federal border.
And then.
When Peter landed and once again took a limousine to a mansion built in a snowy mountain in Norway, he met the sponsor who had helped him free of charge this time.
A black man.
Smiling.
Call yourself Valentine!
