"Peter, some unfortunate news." When Peter met Director Garrett this time, the other party handed over the tablet with a straight face, "George Stacey has confessed."
"What?" Peter was shocked. He quickly reached out to take the tablet and clicked on the video to watch. In the interrogation room, Director Stacey faced the camera and confessed that he was a member of Hydra. and identified additional Hydra members.
Peter's hand trembled and he stopped holding the tablet, letting the computer fall to the table, but the sound from the computer still came out clearly.
"You saw it. He admitted it himself, without any torture." Director Garrett reached out and patted Peter on the shoulder, comforting: "That's good, at least we no longer have to doubt those who are reviewing the evidence. Is there something wrong with people?”
"There is also good news. Gwen's innocence has been confirmed. Her father's matter has nothing to do with her. You can go pick up your girlfriend."
"Furthermore, George Stacey is just a peripheral agent within Hydra and has not committed any major crimes. So he also signed a plea agreement and will not be prosecuted for this, but he can no longer continue to serve as police chief. ”
Peter came out of Garrett's office with his tablet in hand and his head full of slurry. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Of course he was happy that Gwen was fine, but Gwen's father confessed to himself, which made Peter completely confused about how to face Gwen.
Moreover, Director Stacey, who had always shown integrity and selflessness in front of him, turned out to be Hydra. This news made Peter completely unable to digest it, and he felt as if his three views had been cleansed.
Peter came to the place where Gwen was being held with full concern and showed Director Garrett's warrant. After verifying it on the Internet, he successfully brought Gwen out.
After leaving the place of detention, Gwen took a long breath and said with a smile:
"Sure enough, only after you have lost your freedom can you know the value of freedom. It seems that what you guessed before was right. There is indeed something wrong with those who verified the evidence. Has my father been released too? Let's go home together. I will do it. I’ll give you something delicious to try.”
Then she saw Peter's ugly face, her heart sank, and she had an ominous premonition.
"What's wrong? Hasn't my father been released yet? What about Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei?"
"It's just that your suspicion has been cleared. Uncle Ben and Aunt May haven't..." Peter hesitated.
"How could this happen?" Gwen's delicate eyebrows immediately wrinkled, "SHIELD's work efficiency is too poor. I always feel like I can't trust them."
Peter's eyes wandered, not daring to look at Gwen.
"What's wrong?" Gwen asked strangely.
"Gwen, um, about Uncle Stacey, um..." Peter hesitated, making Gwen particularly anxious.
"Did something happen to my dad? Was he hurt?"
"That's not true, but..." Peter still didn't know what to say.
Gwen turned her eyes and saw the tablet in Peter's hand. She immediately reached out and grabbed it, turned on the computer, and then saw the video of George's confession.
"Snapped!"
The computer fell from Gwen's hand, and Gwen covered her mouth with her hands, completely unable to believe what she was seeing.
Peter put his arms around Gwen and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry Uncle Stacey, he has signed a plea agreement, but he has been removed from his position and will not be prosecuted by SHIELD."
But Gwen couldn't accept all this at all. She pushed Peter away and shouted loudly: "They must be using me to blackmail my father. Otherwise, if others took so long to review, why would I be fine so quickly?"
After shouting, Gwen ignored Peter and the surrounding SHIELD staff, turned around and ran out. She wanted to go home and ask the matter in person.
Peter followed Gwen out of the door together, took a taxi and rushed to Gwen's house. After arriving at her house, George came out to open the door and let Gwen in, but kept Peter out.
"Sorry, kid, we need some time alone as a family. You'd better go back and visit your aunt and uncle!"
George's attitude was very cold, which was something Peter had never encountered before.
He had no choice but to take a few steps back angrily and said awkwardly: "Well, if you need help, you can call me at any time. I'm on call 24 hours a day."
But what greeted him was the door slamming shut.
Peter sighed and had no choice but to turn around and leave. He came to the police station again, intending to visit Uncle Ben and Aunt May, but was told that the two had been handed over to SHIELD due to solid evidence.
Peter quickly ran back to SHIELD and came to Director Garrett's office again.
"Director, this is all a conspiracy of Hydra! These evidences are all false!" He stood anxiously in front of his desk, pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and looked at Garrett sitting behind the desk. Director.
"Oh, Peter, I can understand how you feel."
Director Garrett stood up, pulled Peter to sit on the sofa aside, poured him coffee himself, then sat across from Peter and began to reason with him.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"But we are not sure now that this evidence is definitely false! Just like George Stacey before, for his matter, we even arrested the person who reviewed the evidence for investigation."
"But what happened? It turned out that he was Hydra!"
"And the reason why Thomas told you that was because he wanted to use your words to disrupt SHIELD's normal work and take the opportunity to rescue George Stacey. If we hadn't done a good job keeping it secret, we didn't let George know about it. , if he bites him to death because of this and refuses to admit it, wouldn’t we just let a hydra go?"
Peter was anxious, "Director, Uncle Ben and Aunt May are different from George. They must not be Hydra!"
"Peter, don't let your emotions cloud your wisdom. In fact, you can understand simply by thinking about it. Your parents have been working as Hydra for so many years, and they even trusted you to be raised by them. How could they not know about this? ?”
"You're presuming guilt! It's completely random speculation!" Peter shouted.
Director Garrett immediately became unhappy when he saw that this time Peter was out of luck and cheating. He straightened his face and scolded:
"Look, Peter, when I tell you about evidence, you say the evidence is false. When I tell you about reasoning, you say I have no evidence! Are you taking advantage of all the co-authorship?"
Peter was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute.
"Hmph! From now on, everything will be based on the investigator's report!" Director Garrett snorted coldly and issued an eviction order, "I still have official business to do, so you don't have to run to my office every day, that's it!"
